He Sui looked skeptical. If she tried to persuade him, wouldn't she just make He Zhou question the meaning of life?
Oh well, never mind.
He Jing could try to persuade him if she wanted to. Children from poor families aren't that fragile. At most, He Zhou would just be depressed for a while longer.
With this in mind, He Sui threw himself into the escape room. It was his first time playing an escape room game!
After breakfast, He Jing led her entire family out in a large group. She had prepared plenty of small change, which would be useful for paying fares on the bus and buying water. However, upon arriving at the bus stop, she saw a large bus parked there. Standing in front of the bus was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit and a single-lensed pair of glasses. His jet-black hair was slicked back, making him stand out from the other passersby. As soon as he saw her, he immediately walked towards her.
"Hello, Miss He Jing. I am the young master's butler. He sent me to pick you up."
He Jing asked, "Is your young master Yan Hanxi?"
The man lowered his head: "That's right. Young Master was worried that Miss He Jing would miss the first round of the secret room, so he had me wait here early in the morning."
He paused, glanced at the exquisite gold pocket watch, and said, "We've been waiting for fifteen minutes."
He Jing: "..."
It's just an escape room game, does it have to be so exaggerated?
Just as the two were talking, He Ning walked up, staring warily at the butler, and asked coldly, "What happened?"
He Jing turned around and smiled, reassuringly saying, "No, it's just that a classmate kindly sent a shuttle bus to pick us up. Second brother, let's go up, don't be late."
He Ning's expression relaxed considerably. She frowned and said, "What's your relationship with that classmate? If it's not good, let's take the bus to avoid owing them a favor."
He Jing said with a hint of helplessness, "When he sent the car over, I already owed him a favor; besides, my relationship with him is pretty good... I guess..."
She was Yan Hanxi's ex-fiancée, and now she was his classmate; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that...
Upon hearing this, He Sui, who had followed closely behind, immediately exclaimed in surprise, "He Jing, your classmate is so nice! He even sent a shuttle bus to pick us up. Is it a boy or a girl? Will we be able to see him when we get there?"
He Jing answered truthfully, "It's a man."
Before he could finish speaking, He Sui's face fell: "You two aren't dating, are you? He Jing, let me tell you, dating in early relationships is not allowed."
He Jing rubbed her forehead, feeling a real headache, and said, "Can't you think of something pure?"
He Sui looked He Jing up and down, then shook his head and said, "No."
With such a beautiful girl, which boy wouldn't be attracted to her? He didn't believe that a male classmate who gave her tickets and picked her up wouldn't be interested in He Jing. Just thinking about it made his teeth ache.
"Stay close to me and don't wander off, or that guy will take advantage of you while you're scared of ghosts."
He Jing: "..."
Okay.
What else could she say?
The group eventually boarded the bus. He Sui grabbed He Xiaoguo, who was trying to sit next to He Jing, and threw her into He Zhou's arms before sitting down smugly.
He crossed his legs, striking a pose that said, "See? Only the strong deserve to have their little sister." He Ning frowned deeply, He Zhou remained expressionless, and He Yi and He Chen exchanged a glance, speechless.
He Xiaoguo wrinkled her chubby face in grievance: "Fourth brother, you're such a grown-up, can you please stop being so clingy? Your sister will get tired of you sooner or later."
He Sui snorted boastfully, "How could that be? He Jing said he would favor me. I believe I will always be his favorite brother."
