He Jing smiled and said, "No, I get along very well with my second brother. I like him very much."
Mother He was finally relieved and sighed softly, "Of all the children, Xiao Ning is the most introverted. He just can't change. When Xiao Yi was around, she often talked to him, and things got a little better. If you like him, please bother him more often. I really hope he can become more cheerful."
He Jing nodded gently, her gaze turning toward the closed door behind her, her eyes bright and full of meaning.
After talking for a while, He Jing went back to her room because her mother wanted to sleep, as she had to go to work the next day.
She and He's father worked together to lower the back of the sofa, turning it into a bed. He Sui took advantage of the two not paying attention and sneaked into He Jing's room.
He saw He Jing sitting in front of the dressing table, about to open the drawer to find a comb. Hearing the noise, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, asking, "Fourth Brother, is something the matter?"
He Sui leaned against the door, one hand gripping the doorknob, and asked curiously, "What exactly happened between you and your second brother? Why did he come back with you?"
Hearing this, He Jing tilted her head, put a finger to her red lips, winked, and said playfully, "It's a secret!"
He Sui's face immediately fell, he cursed "Damn it!", then glared at her angrily and warned fiercely, "Let me tell you, don't even think about making a move on Second Brother. He will never pay attention to you. Our hearts are only for Xiao Yi."
oh.
He Jing remained expressionless and smiled slightly: "It's so late, isn't Fourth Brother sleepy?"
He Sui: "..."
Alright, I've delivered the message. Time to go!
As she left, He Jing reminded him, "Please close the door behind you. Thank you, Fourth Brother."
He Sui originally wanted to slam the door shut in a cool way, but upon hearing this, he was so angry that he almost flew into a rage. He glanced back at his parents, who were already lying on the sofa bed, but in the end, he didn't have the guts to slam the door. He could only close the door quietly and grit his teeth while giving them the middle finger.
He Jing took off her hair clips at the dressing table and went to bed. She obviously couldn't take a shower tonight, since going to the toilet from her room required passing through the living room. By the time she finished showering, it would be late at night, which would disturb the two adults' sleep. They got up earlier than chickens and went to bed later than cows every day, which was quite tiring.
He Jing turned off the light, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and tried to sleep for a while but couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't help but sigh, got out of bed in the dark, and went to get the cold oden from the desk by the moonlight.
Just as I was about to eat, there was a slight knock on the door.
He Jing looked at the door with a puzzled expression, hesitated, walked over, and opened the door. In the dark doorway stood an even darker human-shaped silhouette, whose face was not clearly visible. Then a plastic bag containing something was shoved into the doorway, and the person at the door turned and left.
He Jing tentatively called out in a low voice, "Second Brother?"
No response was received.
With no other option, she went back to her room, closed the door, turned on the light, and saw that the plastic bag contained a pineapple bun.
The bread was wrinkled, and two pieces of the crispy pineapple crust had fallen off, as if it had been pulled out from somewhere, but it was very soft.
He Jing smiled, put down the cold oden, and ate the sweet pineapple bun.
The next morning, feeling refreshed, He Jing stepped out of her room and saw He Sui sitting on the sofa playing tangrams with He Xiaoguo, while He Ning was making breakfast in the kitchen.
The He family's breakfast was prepared by the brothers in turns, except for He Xiaoguo, who was not even as tall as the kitchen counter and couldn't even reach the pots on tiptoe.
He Jing brushed her teeth and washed her face, then immediately went into the kitchen with a bright smile: "Second brother, let me help you."
