To surprise He Ning, He Jing didn't bring the basketball to No. 1 Middle School, but instead entrusted it to Yan Hanxi for safekeeping.
Yan Hanxi twirled the basketball between his fingers, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll ask my second brother to test my skills."
He Jing told him directly, "It's best not to."
"Why?"
"Because my second brother is very good at playing basketball, you can't beat him."
That's how it's written in the original work.
Yan Hanxi snorted: "A model student, you underestimate me?"
He played 198 basketball games and never lost.
He Jing was too lazy to say anything, waved goodbye to him, went to No. 1 Middle School to pick up He Ning and He Sui after school, and also bought a few pounds of meat at the vegetable market.
After demonstrating her culinary skills to the He family, dinner became their most anticipated activity. Not wanting to disappoint them, He Jing decided to make pork jerky tonight.
The pork jerky is dry and easy to store; making a larger batch will allow them to take it to school.
Sure enough, this was loved by everyone except He Zhou; snacks have always been a great human hobby.
The next day, when He Jing arrived at school, she noticed something strange about her class; everyone seemed to be acting like they had done something wrong.
Especially after she stepped into the classroom, the strangeness almost turned into embarrassment. Wu Yu leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Cheng Yi bribed the whole class as soon as she came to school today."
He Jing raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat unreadable: "Bribery? What did she give you?"
Wu Yu said, "She brought a lot of food, and everyone got some. Almost everyone took some, except for me and Sister Qiuyu."
He Jing thought about it and realized that this was reasonable. After all, the Cheng family had a certain status, and they would not disrespect Cheng Yi, especially since Cheng Yi meant well.
He Jing chuckled, "Why wouldn't you want it? If they offer it to you, just take it..."
Wu Yu answered sincerely, "I'm afraid she'll poison me."
He Jing: "..."
Just as the two were talking, a clear and melodious voice interrupted, saying, "He Jing, I brought some food with me today. Would you like to try some?"
Turning around, Cheng Yi was standing beside them, holding a small cardboard box about half the size of her palm.
The cardboard box in her hand had a retro feel, and inside was a small and delicate pastry with a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
Upon seeing the pastry, He Jing recognized it immediately and smiled calmly: "Are you really going to treat me to this? One bite costs 20,000 yuan."
Cheng Yi was surprised that He Jing had such good taste, but after a moment of surprise, she smiled gently and said, "Of course, everyone in the class has one, there's no reason to exclude He Jing."
He Jing said "thank you" and extended her hand.
Wu Yu genuinely believed that Cheng Yi would poison someone; perhaps the others' food wasn't poisoned, but He Jing's was. He grabbed He Jing's sleeve and stopped her, saying, "Sister Jing, are you really going to eat it?"
He Jing retorted, "Cheng Yi is being so generous in treating us, why not eat? If we miss this opportunity, we won't have another one."
After saying that, she picked up the pastry, put it in her mouth, chewed it for a while, and said again, "It's delicious, thank you, Cheng Yi."
Cheng Yi was stunned. She thought He Jing would definitely not eat it, but she didn't expect that He Jing would actually eat it and even thank her sincerely. Cheng Yi almost couldn't control herself and smeared the empty cardboard box on He Jing's face.
Who genuinely wanted to treat her to something? She was just trying to annoy her...
She wanted to show her that the French jelly she bought was not in the same league as the pastries she bought, and that this was the kind of food that could please Yan Hanxi!
