Thinking about it, He Chen felt guilty and said gently, "He Jing, I'll give you my bed and I'll sleep in the living room."
He Jing refused outright.
She lowered her head and said, "You guys should stay with Cheng Yi. Fourth Brother, let's go play games."
He Sui was refreshed and said, "Alright!"
Let them talk nonsense, now they regret it!
He suffered the same loss before!
He Xiaoguo gave Cheng Yi a reproachful look with her round, grape-like eyes, her gaze clearly blaming her for being so meddlesome, before following behind He Jing.
He Zhou had the worst expression in the entire living room. He was holding the clothes Cheng Yi had bought for him. Looking down, he shoved the clothes into the clothing bag with a gloomy face.
Cheng Yi was startled by his actions and cried out in a panic, "Third Brother..."
He Zhou glanced at her, meeting her truly aggrieved eyes. He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly smiled slightly: "It's alright, don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Cheng Yi's gaze fell upon his smile, and she became even more panicked. Having lived with the He brothers for so many years, she knew their temperaments very well. He Zhou rarely showed such a smile, and if he did, it would be a big problem.
Rather than being spoken to so kindly, she would rather He Zhou mocked and ridiculed her; that would make her feel more at ease.
He Zhou turned to leave, but Cheng Yi grabbed his arm and asked, "Third Brother, are you secretly blaming me?"
"What's it to you?"
"It's my fault for going up to Sister He Jing and causing so much trouble for you all." After a pause, Cheng Yi added, "But I really meant well."
He Zhou's eyelids didn't tremble, and he still smiled: "How could that be? We're all on your side. No matter how much you go too far, we can forgive you."
"Third Brother..."
Cheng Yi bit her lower lip, barely managing to relax. She slowly released He Zhou's arm and watched as He Zhou walked into He Jing's room without looking back. Her heart still felt heavy and choked with anxiety.
Cheng Yi desperately needed comfort, so she turned to look at He Ning. Her most trusted second brother stood there calmly and leisurely, a faint smile still lingering in the corner of his eye, as if he was praising He Jing's performance just now. But when he saw her looking over, that very faint smile immediately disappeared.
He Ning walked up to her, but his gaze was fixed on the bag of clothes on the ground. He said, "I will give the clothes you bought for me to my brother sometime. Don't ask me to go out for these kinds of things in the future. I have no reason to accept your gifts."
Cheng Yi's eyes flickered, and her voice choked with emotion as she spoke: "Second Brother, do we really have no relationship at all anymore?"
He Ning replied calmly, "Yes."
In the past, he probably never imagined that he and Cheng Yi would have such a day.
But when all of this actually happened, he felt unusually relaxed. He finally let go of that illicit love affair that he himself found so intense and almost crushing.
If love could be spared, who would willingly bear such a heavy burden of affection...
All of this was thanks to He Jing, who rescued him from the vortex.
"If we absolutely have to make a connection, there's only one explanation: she was my adopted sister."
"Once" represents the past, and the word "raised" in "raised sister" couldn't be more hurtful.
Cheng Yi was certain, sure, and convinced that she had truly lost him.
Why!
Why did things get to this point just because He Jing appeared?
Is their relationship really that fragile?
