He Ning was frying eggs when she saw her coming over. Her eyes narrowed, and she coldly ordered, "Stand back."
As soon as He Jing stopped, oil splattered out of the pan. It didn't burn her anywhere, but there was a noticeable oil spot on her school uniform.
He Ning frowned and called out, "Fourth Brother."
He Sui also slipped into the kitchen.
He still had a triangular plastic board in his hand that he hadn't had time to put down. Hearing the voice, he asked, "Second Brother, what's wrong?"
He Ning pursed his thin lips and ordered, "Take her out."
He Sui glanced at He Jing and sneered, saying sarcastically, "I told you long ago that your second brother wouldn't pay any attention to you, yet you still went to him."
No sooner had he finished speaking than He Ning said, "Take off your school uniform and let Lao Si wash it for you."
He Sui, half-satisfied with his newfound gain: "???"
He Jing glanced at He Sui, saw his expression as if he had just eaten shit, and smiled, "Okay, thank you, Second Brother."
He Sui called out "Second Brother" in dissatisfaction, wanting to protest, but when he saw He Ning raise his eyebrows, his displeasure showing in his coldness, he immediately wilted and became extremely depressed: "Fine, I'll wash them. Going to Yin Gao in dirty clothes will only embarrass the He family."
He Jing laughed, raising an eyebrow. She was quite surprised that He Sui was so afraid of He Ning.
Sometimes he even raises his voice when talking to Mother He, and he's always disobedient and unwilling. But He Ning can subdue him with just one look. No wonder he's the second male lead.
He Sui met her teasing gaze, immediately glared at her, and said fiercely, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and take it off."
He Jing was just teasing him and didn't really mean to embarrass him, so she laughed and said, "Fourth Brother, no need. The school will be issuing new uniforms soon. It's just a small oil stain that you can't see unless you look closely. There's no need to wash it."
He Sui immediately beamed, revealing a "you know what's good for you" expression, and turned to He Ning, grumbling, "Second brother, did you hear that? It's not that I didn't want to wash her!"
He Ning hummed in agreement, and He Sui quickly ran out of the kitchen, afraid that something else might go wrong.
He Jing found an apron from somewhere and tied it on. The large apron completely covered her slender body. Even though it was an ordinary apron, she looked very good wearing it. "Second brother, let me help you. That way you won't get your clothes dirty."
He Ning pursed his thin lips slightly and did not object, but when He Jing walked to his side, he said, "We've settled what we owed you yesterday."
He Jing was taken aback, feeling somewhat helpless.
It turns out that the kindness he showed her stemmed from a feeling of indebtedness towards her.
Yesterday, because of something he said, she was ridiculed and bullied by He Sui, so today he specifically asked her to get revenge on He Sui. This is truly...
He Jing didn't know what to say.
but--
He Jing smiled at him undeterred: "Thank you, Second Brother, for the pineapple bun last night. It was delicious."
He Ning's handsome eyebrows immediately furrowed, and her voice was clear and slightly cold: "What pineapple bun?"
He Jing was stunned, even more surprised than him. If the pineapple bun wasn't given by him, then who was it?
Suddenly, an absurd idea popped into her mind, and she turned to look at He Sui, who was playing with He Xiaoguo on the sofa—
Could it be him?
He Jing's lips twitched slightly, then she fell silent. After a moment, she raised her face and easily changed the subject: "It's nothing. Maybe someone accidentally slipped it to me. What does Second Brother need to do? I'll help you."
He Ning wasn't one to gossip, so he frowned but didn't press the matter. He simply turned off the heat, scooped the eggs out of the pan, and said, "They're done."
He Jing: "..."
