He Zhou choked, his face instantly turning extremely ugly.
These days, he has been overly attentive in order to make He Jing realize that they could be cooking partners.
He would loiter around He Jing whenever he felt like it, and if he saw her wanting a water glass, he would casually pick it up and hand it to her first.
When he sees He Jing about to mop the floor, he will sweep the floor clean beforehand.
In short, there are countless examples like this, and even a fool would understand what they mean.
He Jing looked up at him and asked, "Third Brother, you haven't given up on the idea of making me a chef, have you?"
Without thinking, He Zhou blurted out, "Why not?"
He Jing said with a hint of helplessness, "Third Brother, I really have no interest in being a chef. I want to work in the field of chemistry."
He Zhou stared at her gloomily for a while, and then spoke again after a long time: "In any case, you have to give it a try."
He Jing: "..."
have to.
They wouldn't listen at all.
An hour later, He Yuan finished cooking. He Jing and He Zhou came out of the room, and the atmosphere was a bit somber.
Upon seeing this, He Ning frowned and called He Zhou over. Neither of them spoke first; they just looked at each other.
He Sui, being rather oblivious, didn't notice at all. He hugged He Jing's arm and whispered, "Big brother's cooking isn't very good, so eat less."
He Jing raised an eyebrow. Oh?
Once at the dinner table, it became clear what a shocking lie He Sui had told. He Yuan's meal was clearly the best one besides He Zhou's, exuding the same warm atmosphere as everyone else's.
Knowing that his framing had failed, He Sui gave He Yuan a resentful look and endured it until two days later when He Yuan left the He family and returned to university.
...
The provincial physics competition is a month away, and the examination venue is in City A, but it will be held at a different school.
It takes an hour to get there from Yingao, and the school specially arranged a car to take the candidates there.
However, there is one exception: Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yue made a special call to the school, saying that he would personally escort Cheng Yi to the examination venue, and the school readily agreed.
Cheng Yi was going crazy. For the past month, Cheng Yue did nothing but stay with her and watch her do her homework.
She gritted her teeth and began learning things she couldn't understand at all, like a relentless learning machine, and dared not call a halt.
She desperately wanted to fall seriously ill, but unfortunately, she didn't, because Cheng Yue had someone prepare special nutritional meals for her, and her family doctor was on call 24 hours a day.
So she didn't even have a chance to slack off, and was tormented to the point of exhaustion until the very last moment before the exam...
"Xiaoyi, you look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"
Cheng Yi really wanted to say "yes," but then she remembered the heartbroken look Cheng Yue gave her after her first time faking illness and undergoing extensive testing by her family doctor, only to find nothing wrong—
"Xiaoyi, I know you've been studying hard lately, but this is a crucial time. If you keep working hard, Dad will take you on a trip abroad during summer vacation."
She forced the words back down her throat.
Seeing that she remained silent, Cheng Yue said again, "Is something bothering you? Tell your father, and I'll help you solve it. Don't bring it to the exam and let it affect your performance."
Cheng Yi couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, I want to go to the exam hall by myself."
Cheng Yue was a little surprised: "Why?"
Cheng Yi's face was pale, and she forced a smile: "Because Dad has missed many days of work to be with me, I feel bad about it."
