As soon as she spoke, everyone at the table stopped eating and looked at her with confusion and surprise in their eyes.
What?
A costume party?
Without even thinking, He Sui asked, "Is He Jing going?"
Cheng Yi said, "Go."
She blinked, her smile pure and beautiful: "The dance was organized by a classmate to celebrate her birthday. Most of the students from Yin Gao were invited, including Sister He Jing. In addition, family members were allowed to bring their children to the dance, so I asked my classmate for a few extra invitations."
this……
After listening, the He brothers fell silent. To be honest, they didn't really want to be in such a high-class setting because they felt it was inappropriate for their status and they would feel inferior.
However, City A has banned fireworks for many years. They have only ever played with small sparklers that cost one yuan a bundle, and have never seen fireworks in person.
On the television, sparks shot into the sky with a "whoosh and a bang," bursting into a dazzling display of colors. Even through the screen, they found the scene beautiful.
Thinking of this, their faces were full of hesitation and struggle. He Xiaoguo could not resist the temptation at all. Her big, clear eyes revealed longing. She timidly tugged at the hem of He Zhou's clothes, who was sitting next to her: "Third Brother, Xiaoguo wants to go."
He Zhou made a muffled nasal sound: "Mmm."
He Zhou has always been fearless, unlike his other brothers who have such a sensitive sense of pride. The upper class, huh? He really wants to see.
He Chen said, "Brothers, you can go. I'm not going. I made plans to go to the library with my classmates to prepare for my midterms."
Upon hearing this, He Yi chimed in, "I won't go either. I'll just stay home and clean up. I'll tidy up the clutter that's piled up before and take it to the recycling center."
With the two of them withdrawing, He Sui, who had been quite interested, also lost his enthusiasm and remained silent. He hadn't wanted to go because of the fireworks, but rather the free cake and drinks—
Never mind, when He Jing comes back, I'll definitely make sure she buys me something delicious.
Now, almost everyone except He Ning has spoken. He Ning said calmly, "I've joined the school basketball team."
God knows how happy the No. 1 High School basketball coach was when he learned that He Ning was willing to join the team. He Ning had been unwilling before, but now he actually agreed. It was like a miracle.
So, naturally, the coach took advantage of him and arranged a bunch of special training sessions for him, filling his free time to the brim. He couldn't even go home with He Jing after school.
Cheng Yi was completely speechless. She had thought that with the attraction of fireworks and free cake, the He brothers would definitely be eager to participate, but she did not expect that only He Zhou and He Xiaoguo agreed.
How can we play like this...?
She originally wanted them to go to the ball to admire her dance and see how she would utterly defeat He Jing. However, the servants of the Cheng family said that He Jing was not only bad at ballet, but bad at all dances. When He Jing was a child, she tried to learn to dance, but accidentally injured her leg while stretching, so she had a deep-seated fear of dancing.
She had already commissioned the most beautiful dress to be made and begged Ye Shuping to take pictures of an expensive set of jewelry for her. Everything was ready except for the final touch. She was almost certain that she would outshine everyone else, but... all the important audience members were absent.
No.
no.
Cheng Yi tried to persuade them again, but He Xiaoguo disagreed. He tugged at He Zhou's clothes and said, "Third Brother, Xiaoguo isn't going either. Xiaoguo wants to stay at home with Fifth Brother and help sell scrap."
