He Sui immediately wanted to agree, but with the person still crying in his arms, he couldn't bring himself to say anything sarcastic. Instead, he said more tactfully, "He Jing is different from ordinary people. You are you, and she is she. You don't need to compare yourself to her."
There was really no need for a comparison.
In his heart, He Jing was the best.
In He Zhou and He Ning's hearts, she was of course the best.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yi was not satisfied with this. Instead, she cried even louder, covering her face as if He Sui had bullied her.
As soon as He Ning entered the room and saw the scene, he frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
He Sui immediately felt as if he had seen a savior. He pushed Cheng Yi out of his arms, making her stagger back two steps, and said, "Second Brother, you've come at the right time. Xiao Yi is crying. Come and comfort her."
That posture was like avoiding a plague god.
Cheng Yi's face flushed red with anger, and she even forgot to cry. She bit her lip and watched He Sui flee back to his room, slamming the door shut. She had no choice but to turn back to look at He Ning, her almond-shaped eyes red and swollen, and called out pitifully, "Second Brother."
He Ning frowned even more deeply, but still replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yi wiped away her tears and walked up to He Ning: "It's nothing, Second Brother, do you want to cook?"
School let out early at No. 1 Middle School today, so He Ning went to the market to buy some vegetables. Considering that Cheng Yi was a guest, she couldn't afford to eat too poorly, so she also bought some meat.
He Ning nodded: "Wait for your third brother to come back. Your third brother will be back soon."
Cheng Yi volunteered: "Third Brother has to go to school and pick up Xiao Guo from school. It's too hard for him. Why don't I do it? I learned two dishes at the Cheng family. Second Brother will help me."
He Ning's expression became somewhat subtle, and his gaze clearly showed hesitation.
Cheng Yi, recalling how his disastrous cooking had nearly poisoned his brothers, gave an awkward smile and said, "Please trust me one more time, Second Brother."
After speaking, she took the dishes from He Ning's hands with great initiative.
He Ning remained silent for a moment before following her into the kitchen.
He said, "Your status is different now, there's no need for you to force yourself to do things you're not good at."
Cheng Yi lowered her head, clutching the potato in her hand, her tone full of disappointment: "I know, I was immature before, I never contributed to the He family, unlike Sister He Jing who can do everything and does everything well."
“But now I have the ability, and I can also contribute to everyone, so I want to do something for my second brother.”
He Ning said calmly, "You're not being unreasonable. You used to have six older brothers, so you wouldn't have had a chance to do anything."
Cheng Yi suddenly put down the potatoes and peeler she was holding, looked at He Ning, and asked with a sad look in her beautiful eyes: "Second brother, are you really not going to want me as your sister anymore?"
He Ning thought to himself: It's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't afford it, and it's not my place to want it. Having He Jing is enough.
He never thought about having her.
Cheng Yi took a step forward and continued, "But I really, really like Second Brother. Even so, doesn't Second Brother want me anymore?"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ning's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body trembled. He felt as if he had been nailed to the spot, and it took him a long while to slowly come back to his senses.
Then, he took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure, saying, "Xiaoyi, you shouldn't have said 'I like you' to me. We're not siblings anymore, so you can't speak without thinking."
Cheng Yi repeatedly said, "I won't listen," and threw herself into He Ning's arms, hugging him tightly: "Second Brother, I won't date anymore. Let's go back to how things were before, okay?"
