With a question planted in her mind, He Jing's gaze towards He Sui changed somewhat.
She remembered that the original novel didn't describe He Sui as a tsundere...
The occasional, piercing gaze made He Sui feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but wonder if someone was cursing him behind his back.
When he finally realized that the gaze was coming from He Jing, he angrily rebuked her without any politeness: "What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"
He Jing asked directly, "Fourth Brother, did you give me the pineapple bun last night?"
He Sui's expression changed drastically at a visible speed. His ears turned bright red, and he was completely at a loss, as if his mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Then he raised his voice and adopted an extremely fierce attitude: "Bullshit, I... I won't give you bread."
He stammered at the end of his sentence.
He Jing's feelings were complicated at that moment.
He Xiaoguo was eating a fried egg, holding a spoon in one hand, and asked curiously, "What pineapple bun?"
He Sui's redness spread from his ears to his face, and he quickly kicked He Ning's foot under the table, frantically hinting, "I don't know, it must have been given by my second brother."
He Ning curtly refused, "I didn't."
He Sui grew anxious and gritted his teeth, saying, "It must have been Mom who gave it to you. It wasn't me, it definitely wasn't me."
He Jing let out a drawn-out "Oh—" and smiled faintly: "I also think it wasn't Fourth Brother. Maybe it was given by Mom. I'll ask her later."
No sooner had he finished speaking than He Sui stood up abruptly and roared, "It's just a loaf of bread, why are you making such a fuss? What's the big deal? You're so petty. How have you been mistreated by the Cheng family?"
Seeing that the man was about to get angry, He Jing knew when to stop and said calmly, "It's mainly because that bread was so delicious, I really liked it, so I wanted to ask him where he bought it and also thank him."
"..." He Sui suddenly fell silent, his face turning red and his neck thick with suppressed anger. He slowly sat down again, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You're so greedy that you don't even care about a piece of bread. You have no taste."
He Jing got up and went back to her room. She took out the leftover oden and placed it on the dining table, saying, "It can still be eaten if we heat it up. My second brother and I came back late, so please give this to the person who brought me the bread, fourth brother."
He Sui snorted and turned his head away: "I don't want to, you're bothering someone else."
He Jing clasped her hands together and said in a soft, coquettish tone, "Fourth Brother, please."
"You begged me for this."
"Uh-huh."
He Xiaoguo bit into her fried egg, still unable to understand why He Jing would ask He Sui, who was always at odds with her, to help her when He Sui and He Ning went to the same high school and came home at the same time.
Sigh, my older brothers and sisters are so strange, it's a real headache.
...
Yin Gao doesn't have a day off on Saturdays, but they do have a day off on Sundays, so He Jing still has to go to school today.
He Xiaoguo was still picked up and dropped off by her third brother, whom she had never met before. Before leaving, He Jing asked, "When are the third, fifth, and sixth brothers coming back from Aunt's house?"
While craning his neck to look at the buses on the road, He Sui replied, "My aunt's family runs a snack shop. Recently, a new residential building opened nearby, and the flow of people is huge. They need help. Third Brother, Fifth Brother, and Sixth Brother won't be back until at least next week."
He Jing wasn't very clear about the situation of He's relatives. After all, a novel has many characters, and some unimportant characters are only mentioned in a few sentences or a chapter or two. Besides, readers are looking for romance and sweet love stories, so who would specifically read about that?
