With the washing machine, the He family's life suddenly became more convenient than ever before, and the He brothers were finally able to squeeze out some time to do what they wanted.
Even He Zhou just snorted coldly and said nothing, acknowledging He Jing's contribution.
He Jing was planning to send some snacks to He Yuan, worried that he might starve himself while working too hard on his research. She originally didn't intend to let He Sui know about this, but unexpectedly, He Sui still spotted it when she placed the order.
Once on the bus, He Sui made a scene the whole way, driving He Jing crazy. She repeatedly explained that He Yuan had low blood sugar and that going hungry could cause problems, but He Sui didn't care. He kept nagging He Jing to prepare a meal for him next time, leaving He Jing feeling quite helpless.
After a while, He Sui suddenly pulled something out of his schoolbag like a thief.
It was a small paper box with a paper heart glued on it, looking like something a kindergarten child would make.
He shoved the small box into her hand, and, afraid that He Ning, who was listening to music with her headphones on and had her face turned away, would hear him, he whispered in his lips, "This is for you."
He Jing opened the package and saw a pearl hair clip inside, the kind that costs two yuan at a five-yuan store. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give me this?"
She doesn't usually wear hair clips.
He Sui said softly, "I prepared one for Xiaoyi after she lost it last time. I plan to take it to school this afternoon to comfort her. But don't worry, Xiaoyi's isn't as pretty as yours."
After saying that, fearing she wouldn't believe him, he took out the hair clips from another cardboard box and showed them to her.
Okay, if what she has is worth two dollars, then what she gave to Cheng Yi is worth at most one dollar.
The pearls were all chipped and worn; I have no idea where he found them.
He Jing was both amused and exasperated: "Fourth Brother, aren't you afraid she'll be even angrier if she finds out?"
He Sui smacked his lips and said, "I don't care about her. We'll talk about it when she finds out."
At worst, I'll deny it to the death.
He couldn't let He Jing suffer; whatever Cheng Yi had, He Jing had to have too.
He Ning sensed the movement, took off his headphones, turned around, frowned slightly, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What are you doing?"
He Sui immediately stood up straight and coughed, "It's nothing."
He Ning glanced at He Jing and saw the pearl hair clip that she hadn't had time to hide in her hand. She then glanced at He Sui and said, "You've taken things from my drawer again."
He Jing: "..."
Good heavens, it turns out they were just using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha.
He Sui wasn't guilty at all when he was caught; instead, he became even more self-righteous: "We're family, what's the point of stealing? You gave Xiao Yi so many things, what's wrong with giving He Jing one?"
He Ning suddenly fell silent. This was indeed the gift he had originally intended to give to Cheng Yi, but when he looked at He Jing's head and saw that there were no ornaments on it, he remained silent for three seconds before saying, "Wear it. It's a token of my affection, Fourth Brother."
They might feel a little guilty towards Cheng Yi, but He Jing is their own sister and deserves more.
He Sui immediately fastened the pearl hair clip and smiled brightly, "Thank you, Second Brother."
He Sui said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you thank me? I gave it to you."
He Jing smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards: "...Thank you."
He Sui felt relieved and found the hair clip on He Jing's head to be pleasing to the eye. A beautiful young girl should be adorned with nice things; an empty head always feels like something is missing.
He Jing looked at He Ning, who had been unhappy ever since returning from the escape room. Although he maintained his usual aloof expression, there was an unyielding melancholy in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
He Jing was able to figure out the connection. In the original novel, He Ning loved Cheng Yi deeply, and he must have felt very sad when he learned that Cheng Yi liked Yan Hanxi.
But she couldn't help him for the time being. He had to get over the heartbreak on his own. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to expose the secret and make him lose even more face.
