He Jing: "..."
What's wrong?
Isn't the current aesthetic standard all about being fair-skinned, thin, and youthful?
He actually wants to fatten her up?
Yan Hanxi laughed at her speechless expression, staring at her dry, chapped lips and said, "Besides, you look very thirsty."
Busy filming and studying, I haven't even had time to drink a sip of water.
He Jing touched her lips, which did seem a bit dry. She quickly rummaged through her bag for lip balm, applied it, then grabbed a yogurt and tossed it into her bag, saying crisply, "Thanks."
It's just a bottle of yogurt, there's no need to be fussy and make excuses.
Yan Hanxi immediately felt refreshed and thought to himself: I'll just buy a box tomorrow and put it under the table for immediate supply.
...
When the bus arrived at Jinyuling Community, the sun had already set, and it was getting dark.
He Sui gave the pearl hair clip away, but Cheng Yi rejected it. Many people were watching, and she seemed so embarrassed that she blushed. She took the pearl hair clip and left without even saying "thank you".
If it were He Jing, she would be completely calm, unpack the paper box he had folded by hand, put it on without changing her expression, and then say, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Thinking of this, his discomfort vanished. As long as his own sister didn't mind, he didn't care about anyone else.
He Ning remained absent-minded.
He Jing kept a close eye on He Ning's movements. He hadn't said a word the whole way, and his melancholy from the breakup clearly hadn't improved at all.
Suddenly, he stopped walking and looked up ahead.
He Jing followed his gaze and saw a luxury car parked on the side of the road with bright headlights. A well-dressed middle-aged man was standing in front of the car holding a large gift box.
Upon seeing her, the middle-aged man strode up and called out, "Miss."
This sound immediately alerted He Sui. He rushed to He Jing's side and held her tightly, saying with an unfriendly expression, "Don't shout nonsense. We don't have any young ladies here."
He Ning frowned and scolded, "Fourth brother, be more polite."
He Sui was not going to be polite. His family had no wealthy relatives, and this person was obviously sent by the Cheng family. Once someone got involved with the Cheng family, nothing good was bound to happen.
The middle-aged man's gaze bypassed He Sui and went straight to He Jing behind him. He said gently, "Miss, Master misses you very much. These are all things he asked me to bring."
As he spoke, he opened the gift box in his hand and handed it forward, revealing expensive diamonds and jewelry inside.
The female supporting character in the original novel loves this kind of thing the most. There are four items in the box, with a total value of over two million.
He Ning's expression immediately changed. He saw the hair clip in the box, which was also made of pearls.
Each pearl in the hair clip was round and full, radiating a faint yet crystalline luster even in the dim light, making it look extremely precious.
Compared to this, the one He Sui secretly took out of his drawer to give to He Jing was like the difference between a beer bottle and jade; apart from the same color, it was inferior in every other way.
He Sui saw it too. He subconsciously turned around to look at He Jing's face, afraid that if he saw any hint of attraction on her face, he would feel a deep sense of inferiority.
But He Jing didn't.
He Jing's gaze was very calm, staring at these glittering luxury goods as if they were a few roadside stones. Before he could start to worry, she had already spoken: "Tell Uncle Cheng that I miss him very much, but I don't need these things, so I don't want them. Take them back."
