She was just temporarily captivated by He Jingxian's attentiveness.
Little did she know that while He Ning and the others were helping her carry her things and making small talk with her, they were actually worried about the quality of the dormitory at Yingao High School, whether He Jing would have trouble sleeping in the same bed tonight, and whether the dormitory supervisor would be too strict with her...
Even though they knew that Yin Gao was a prestigious private school and that the conditions it provided would certainly be good, they still couldn't help but worry.
Upon entering the house, He Xiaoguo assumed it was He Jing returning from school. She climbed off the sofa with her short legs and ran to the door to greet her. But when she saw it was Cheng Yi, she burst into tears.
Her crying stunned everyone.
He Xiaoguo said heartbrokenly, "Did you...did you send my sister away...I don't want this sister...I want my sister He Jing..."
Cheng Yi was instantly embarrassed, and then became very angry.
In just a few days, he was won over by He Jing. Kids just don't know any better!
But she dared not show it at all, and walked forward gently, saying, "Xiao Guo, your sister is back to see you. Don't cry, okay? Your sister brought you a gift."
He Xiaoguo ignored him completely, acting willfully for the first time in her life. She knocked away the toy Cheng Yi offered, turned around and went back to her room without looking back, slamming the door shut behind her.
He Zhou said, "I'll go see him."
Follow closely behind.
Cheng Yi squatted on the ground, her small figure looking utterly forlorn. She turned her head, her eyes red and brimming with tears, and asked, "I'm sorry, I... shouldn't I have come back?"
certainly.
He Sui thought to himself.
He Ning said calmly, "That's not true."
Cheng Yi didn't seem any better. She slowly stood up from the ground, tears welling in her eyes, and twisted her fingers as she looked down. "If my brothers no longer treat me like a sister, I can go back. I just... I just miss you all so much."
After hearing this, the brothers fell silent for a moment.
Although they hadn't done anything, they inexplicably felt that they had gone too far with Cheng Yi.
It was all fake, but they had spent over a decade together, acting like siblings for over a decade. She cared so much about them, yet deep down they didn't welcome her...
He Yi immediately stepped forward to comfort him: "Now that you're back, just settle down and don't think too much. We'll still be the same as before."
He Chen said gently, "Go back to your room and rest for a bit. I'll call you for dinner later."
With their comfort, Cheng Yi felt much better and then looked at He Ning and He Sui.
He Ning's expression softened slightly, but not by much: "Since you're here, stay."
He Sui couldn't bring himself to say something against his conscience, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "I'll go cook."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back, plunged into the kitchen, and slammed the glass door shut, just like He Xiaoguo.
Cheng Yi's eyes dimmed: "In Fourth Brother's heart, I probably don't have much of a place anymore."
He Ning said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it."
Only He Sui and He Jing know how good they are to each other. It can be said that, apart from He Sui's parents, no one else can compare to He Jing in He Sui's heart.
But there's nothing wrong with that; He Jing deserves that kind of favoritism.
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "My brothers used to be the ones who did all the work at home, and I didn't do anything. Now that I'm back, I'll help my brothers with the housework."
