The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 966 - 935 The Reason for Deciding to Go North

So that’s how it is!

He Tiantian nodded after listening, "Oh, he’s very talented, maybe he can have even greater development in Xiangjiang."

"Ms. Xie said the same thing," Yuan Hua said, sounding somewhat downcast, "Originally, Ms. Xie also wanted to invite me to study in Xiangjiang, but I didn’t go."

"Why not?" He Tiantian asked, "You are also very talented. Many of your poems have been set to music and have become very popular, pleasant songs. Maybe you will have even greater prospects for development in the future."

"I know there could have been great prospects, but because of Tang Ping’an, I couldn’t go," Yuan Hua said, his expression sad and his eyes filled with sorrow.

"What happened?" He Tiantian cautiously inquired, had something she didn’t know about occurred after she left?

Yuan Hua gave a bitter smile, "Teacher He, I like Tang Ping’an, but he doesn’t like me. I said I could wait for him, but he said he will only like one woman in his whole life, so he didn’t want to hold me back."

"What?" He Tiantian was stunned, "But if Tang Ping’an truly has no feelings for you, him saying this to you is also a kind of protection. If it never starts, maybe there’ll be no pain, and you might always remain good classmates."

"Yes," Yuan Hua forced a smile, "Tang Ping’an thinks so, and I think so too. That’s why I didn’t go to Xiangjiang. I knew if I went there, my eyes would always be on him, unable to see the good in other men. So, I decided to head north. Seeing more scenery and meeting more people would broaden my horizons. Maybe I could gradually accept other men."

Oh boy, that’s something!

This Yuan Hua, so young but so open-minded, truly a talented student from Southern University!

"Both of you are kind people who don’t want to hurt each other. Then try out another kind of life, and you’ll discover a different kind of wonderful," He Tiantian said with a smile, offering comforting words to her students.

"Yes," Yuan Hua smiled, "I’ve come to terms with it. By the way, Teacher He, if nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be staying in Yanjing. Do you think I should buy a house?"

"If you have the money, go ahead and buy one," He Tiantian replied, "Buying won’t be a loss. The one I bought a few years ago has more than doubled in value now."

After hearing this, Yuan Hua was also surprised and asked, "Teacher He, I’ve earned a hundred and sixty thousand from selling some song rights, is that enough to buy a house?"

"Not bad at all!" He Tiantian said with a smile, "That should be enough to buy a large courtyard house with one entrance. If you really want to buy, I can ask someone to keep an eye out for you. Listen to the teacher, you won’t be at a loss."

Yuan Hua smiled, "Okay, my mother passed away last year, and there’s only my old father at home. I want to settle things over here and bring my father over."

"Alright, I’ll take care of it," He Tiantian said, "And while you’re busy with work, you can also find the true, the good, and the beautiful in life and create even better poetry."

"Yes, thank you, Teacher He," Yuan Hua smiled, "Poetry is one thing, but I’ve started learning to write fiction as well, writing some love stories."

"That’s great, when the time comes, I want to be the first reader," He Tiantian said with a smile, knowing Yuan Hua was good at poetry but also had solid writing skills, having published some short stories and essays from time to time.

"Teacher He, you are the beacon of light that guides me forward and the lighthouse that brings me back home," Yuan Hua said with a laugh, "I really want to thank you, Teacher He. Not just me, all the classmates in our class are very grateful to you. Thanks to your encouragement, our classmates have published essays, poems, and novels. Now our class is known in the school as the class of geniuses."

"Heh, you’re flattering me. It’s your hard work and talent," He Tiantian said modestly, not daring to admit too much credit.

"There are many people with effort and talent, but good teachers are few, and teachers who can guide students to leverage their talent are even fewer," Yuan Hua smiled, "Teacher He, you are that kind of teacher, always the best one in our hearts."

"Haha!" He Tiantian laughed, "You make me feel a bit embarrassed with your words; after all, I’m not that exceptional."

"You are," Yuan Hua stated.

"Alright, let’s not continue flattering each other. Come on, let’s have some tea and pastries," He Tiantian said with a smile as Lu Wanxia served hot tea, and He Tiantian poured a cup for Yuan Hua.

Yuan Hua drank some tea and ate some pastries.

As they continued to talk about school matters, the previous sadness disappeared, and Yuan Hua once again became that cheerful and generous class leader.

At noon, the family enjoyed a hot pot meal, which was very heartwarming.

He Tiantian, after leaving her child with Grandma Wang, drove Yuan Hua back to his dormitory.

The dormitory was decent; a single apartment with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

Though it was small, it was fully equipped and sufficient for Yuan Hua to live alone.

He Tiantian’s bodyguard, Wei Yuanyuan, and He Tiantian helped clean up and then set up the bedding and unpack the luggage.

"The dormitory is not bad," He Tiantian said with a smile, "And it’s not far from your workplace. You probably can’t report for work today; you should go tomorrow."

"You’re right, I can’t report for work today," Yuan Hua smiled, "I saw there’s a vegetable market nearby. I’m going to buy some groceries and cook dinner myself to invite Teacher He over."

"No need, it’s getting late, and I should be heading back. I’ll come over to see you when I have some free time," He Tiantian smiled.

Seeing that Teacher He insisted, Yuan Hua did not press further.

"Well, in that case, I won’t keep Teacher He any longer," Yuan Hua said with a smile, "I’ll invite Teacher He next time you’re available."

"Okay," He Tiantian smiled, "By the way, I’ll stop by a friend’s place on my way back. If you’re sure, I’ll start arranging the house purchase for you."

"Yes, I’m sure, please trouble Teacher He," Yuan Hua smiled, feeling supported now that she had Teacher He.

It felt so good.

On the way back, He Tiantian stopped by the place where Lao Lian worked to ask for his help in looking for a house.

Because every time Lao Lian helped He Tiantian or her friends buy a good house, he received many benefits, so he was very willing to help.

He agreed on the spot and promised to find a house in the shortest possible time.

By the time He Tiantian got home, it was already past six in the evening. She warmed up a bit before going in to hold her baby.

Inside, she saw Huo Yingjie preparing formula milk to feed the baby.

"Let me do it," He Tiantian said with a smile.

She hadn’t breastfed all afternoon and felt uncomfortably engorged.

After using a warm towel to clean up, she allowed the baby to nurse.

"I heard one of your students came by?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Which one?"

"Yuan Hua, it’s from the class I taught when I was a class head in Nan City," He Tiantian explained, "In the blink of an eye, they’re starting their internships, and they will graduate next year."

"Oh," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, realizing it was that cohort.

She had invested her emotions, and so she cared deeply.
