The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1204 - 1173: Excitement

Xie Feifei and Xi Rongrong came out and happened to witness the scene.

"Oh my, brother-in-law, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you. Our Sister He thinks about you all the time." Xie Feifei was well-acquainted with He Tiantian and had seen Huo Yingjie many times. In the past, Huo Yingjie often came to pick up He Tiantian, but he had not been seen for a long time this year, presumably because he was busy.

Huo Yingjie smiled and replied, "Hehe, I’ve just returned from a business trip."

"Wow, you must not have told Teacher He, otherwise she would have been so happy today," Xie Feifei said with a smile. "Alright, I won’t disturb you two any longer, hurry home."

"Goodbye." Huo Yingjie smiled, took He Tiantian by her slender waist, and they went home together.

Many people were at the entrance and felt envious seeing such a scene.

"That Huo Yingjie is really handsome," Xi Rongrong said. "If only I could find a boyfriend that handsome!"

Xie Feifei smacked her on the head and said, "Are you as pretty as Teacher He? Are you more talented than her?"

Xi Rongrong grimaced and replied, "Ah, then I better find someone who is a good match for me."

He Tiantian was both beautiful and talented; not everyone could compare to her.

A short distance after Xie Feifei and Xi Rongrong left, Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang came out.

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable, and comparing goods can drive you to throw yours away!" said Jiao Lihong. "We work so hard and might not get anything, yet some people don’t need to make an effort and can get everything so easily. It’s so enviable."

Cai Fenfang was also envious, even more so than Jiao Lihong.

At least Jiao Lihong still had an uncle to support her, and she could get a decent job at the sports bureau in the future. But what about herself? Her grades were not the best, and she wasn’t guaranteed to win championships, so she couldn’t stay in Yanjing and would have to go back to her hometown for an ordinary job.

Having seen the glitz of the big city and abroad, Cai Fenfang did not want to go back. She wanted to stay here, have a good job, and find a powerful and influential man.

She thought this way because she knew she was good-looking, and she believed she had the capital to strive.

"Yes, I’m envious too," said Cai Fenfang. "But some things can’t be obtained by envy. We can only train hard."

"Alas, even with our hard training, we can’t compare to her," sighed Jiao Lihong, feeling numb. She had already given her all, but even in the simulated competitions, she still couldn’t beat He Tiantian. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Yes, I think that apart from He Tiantian’s better scores, you have no domestic or even international rivals," Cai Fenfang added fuel to the fire from the sidelines.

Jiao Lihong felt downhearted upon hearing this.

But that was just how amazing He Tiantian was; she was insurmountable.

At this point, He Tiantian couldn’t drop out of the competition nor would she give up, so Jiao Lihong’s situation couldn’t change.

But she harbored a malicious thought – wouldn’t it be great if He Tiantian couldn’t participate in the competition for some reason and had to forfeit automatically?

After all, her scores were already much better than those from the last Olympic Games.

If He Tiantian weren’t in the picture, she would be the champion.

Cai Fenfang watched Jiao Lihong’s expressions change continuously, secretly praying in her heart to act swiftly — as long as He Tiantian couldn’t attend the competition, she would also be able to win the gold medal.

Cai Fenfang had always been Jiao Lihong’s lackey, but at the same time, she wanted to use Jiao Lihong to secure more resources for herself within the team.

Now that it had come to this point, Cai Fenfang understood she lacked the ability, so she wanted to rely on Jiao Lihong’s actions to prevent He Tiantian from participating smoothly in the competition.

During this period, Cai Fenfang had been subtly mentioning He Tiantian in Jiao Lihong’s presence, incrementally provoking her.

The effect was good; now, just hearing the name He Tiantian would affect Jiao Lihong’s mood and even influence her thinking.

This was good, as long as Jiao Lihong acted on it, there was no need for her to take action.

Reap the benefits without any effort.

Jiao Lihong was in a bad mood, originally wanting to go out, but she didn’t and went straight back to the dormitory.

As a small follower, Cai Fenfang didn’t go out either, waiting for the right moment to continue to bring up He Tiantian around Jiao Lihong, to infuriate her, and push her towards madness so she would do something crazy.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie got on the car.

He Tiantian kissed Huo Yingjie’s face, and Huo Yingjie kissed He Tiantian’s forehead.

Xie Wu and Zhang Ning in the front were expressionless, daring not to look.

Fortunately, the two stopped at the right time, preventing the situation from becoming too awkward for everyone.

"Why didn’t you tell me in advance when you were coming back?" He Tiantian chided, "I missed you so much, I wanted to know about your return earlier."

Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian and softly said, "I also didn’t know which mountaintop I’d be on, sometimes on a plane, sometimes a bus, and we even had to be blindfolded. After boarding the train, I felt very sleepy and slept the whole time. When I woke up, we had arrived in Yanjing, so I couldn’t inform you beforehand."

"I see." He Tiantian nodded. The security measures were too strict, and it was understandable that Huo Yingjie couldn’t inform her.

"Besides," Huo Yingjie said, "if I had told you beforehand, you would be worried at home. It’s better just to appear in front of you and give you a surprise." He took the opportunity to whisper in He Tiantian’s ear, the warmth of his breath reddening her ears.

"That makes sense," He Tiantian said. "It’s wonderful. I heard that my in-laws are also coming to Yanjing in the next few days. Our family is finally going to be reunited."

"Yes, that’s indeed great news." Huo Yingjie nodded. "Right, we have some time, let’s pick up the kids together."

"Okay," He Tiantian nodded. "You don’t know, after you left, at first, the kids thought you’d be back soon. But ten days, half a month passed, and you still hadn’t returned. They kept asking me for their Dad. Now that you are back, you must try to spend as much time playing with them as possible. Especially since they’re almost at the end of the term and summer vacation is starting."

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Mm, naturally, I’ll do my best to make it up to you and the kids."

"By the way, we have an additional daughter in the family who is now called Huo Xuanxuan." He Tiantian explained then stealthily wrote three characters "Little Rotating Turtle" in the palm of Huo Yingjie’s hand.

Huo Yingjie was already aware of the Little Rotating Turtle’s transformation and nodded lightly, "I know, since we have a destined connection, she is part of our family."

"Mm-hmm, Xuanxuan is very well-behaved and exceptionally clever." He Tiantian said, "She’s now in second grade, and whenever I attend parent-teacher conferences, the teacher always praises Xuanxuan. Ruihua and Ruimin are grown up now and know how to organize their studies and life. It’s just Huo Xiaosan who’s naughty, often getting into fights with others, calling parents several times. I don’t want to deal with it anymore, so I let Snake King take the scolding. Now that you are back, you should go in the future."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I will take care of disciplining him properly in the future, that little rascal clearly has too much energy. Does he still like football? If he does, we’ll send him to practice football, to let out his excess energy on the soccer field."
