Meng Yao was moved; she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
The girl in front of her was so rational and clear-headed that she seemed to have no way to plead any further. Even if she didn't want to see Meng Qi, she couldn't blame her.
Meng Yao thought, if He Jing were her older sister, she would be so proud to have such an outstanding older sister.
In the end, all she could say was, "I will pass this on to my brother. Thank you, He Jing."
"Okay." He Jing nodded. "Let's go back. There's still a while before lunch break. I want to take a nap."
Meng Yao said, "Then, I'm leaving."
Her tone was soft and shy.
Then, as if fleeing in panic, she hurriedly left, ignoring He Jing's gaze.
He Jing sighed, suddenly feeling incredibly fortunate. Thank goodness He Ning and the others weren't Meng Qi; otherwise, let alone offering comfort, she might have bought a standing-room-only ticket and fled that home that very night—she simply couldn't handle it…
...
Soon, the day before the National Physics Competition arrived, which happened to be He Jing's birthday.
Because the National Physics Competition was being held in the capital, He Jing had to leave early in the morning, accompanied by her teacher and Yan Hanxi, to check in at the airport.
So He Jing packed her luggage the night before to avoid being rushed and flustered the next day.
He Sui pouted, looking unhappy: "This is your first birthday in the He family, and I was hoping to take you out to play."
Three days ago, he asked his classmates which restaurant in City A was good, as he wanted to treat He Jing to a big meal on her birthday.
The money was what I had left over from buying the hard drive and graphics card; it was over 500 yuan.
Although the gift had already been given in advance, he didn't mind giving it again at all.
He had made up his mind. In addition to eating, he also wanted to buy He Jing a pair of shoes. The pair He Zhou bought last time was very nice, but the color was too pink and tacky. He still thought He Jing was more suited to wearing leather shoes, which made her look particularly elegant.
He Jing smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Fourth Brother is so kind. Let's pick another weekend when I get back."
He Sui's eyes lit up: "That works too! After you come back from the competition, I'll take you out to celebrate. You're guaranteed to be number one."
He Jing didn't even dare to think about it and shook her head: "First place isn't that easy to get. Fourth Brother is overestimating me."
With Yan Hanxi around, it would be difficult for her to win the championship, since it is an indisputable fact that she is not as good as Yan Hanxi in physics.
No, I think you can.
With her intelligence, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her?
He Ning also said, "He Jing, don't underestimate yourself. This is a gift for you, given to you in advance."
He Jing turned her head and saw that He Ning was holding a small box, which looked very exquisite.
He Jing opened it, and inside lay a small book clip.
This book clip was clearly carefully selected; the handle is shaped like a rabbit. One wonders how many stores he visited to buy such an adorable clip, given that he doesn't have a mobile shopping app.
He Jing smiled happily: "Thank you, Second Brother."
He Ning gently patted the top of her head.
He Zhou sneered: "You're this happy about a clip that costs ten yuan? I already gave you a gift before, so I won't give you another one."
He Zhou's words greatly surprised He Sui, He Ning, He Yi, and He Chen. He Sui opened his eyes wide and asked, "Third Brother, when did you give me a gift?"
He Zhou glanced at him sideways: "This is a secret between He Jing and me. In short, my gift should be the best among you all."
He Sui immediately became jealous and looked at He Jing with displeasure: "You said I'm your favorite brother, what secret do you have with Third Brother that you're keeping from me!"
He Jing: "...I didn't."
She didn't have time to say it, and he didn't even ask!
