He Jing understood He Zhou's feelings. He had finally made some progress, but then suffered another heavy blow. No one would feel good about that.
She reached out her hand, opened her mouth and silently called out "Third Brother," preparing to offer comfort.
He Zhou suddenly called out, "He Jing."
He Jing looked up in surprise and doubt: "?"
He Zhou: "Do you want to wear new clothes?"
He Jing: "???"
What kind of unexpected and bizarre move is this?
Before He Jing could even ponder the meaning behind those words, He Zhou, looking at her face, suddenly became angry and embarrassed. His brows furrowed, and his tone turned icy: "If you don't want to wear it, that's fine. I didn't really want to buy it for you anyway."
After saying that, he abandoned her and left.
He Jing quickly followed, saying, "Hey, wait, Third Brother, I didn't say I didn't want to wear it!"
Your hesitation means you dislike me!
"..."
All right.
That works too.
He Jing didn't know what had gotten into He Zhou, or what had gotten into his conscience, that made him inexplicably and inexplicably become kind to her.
First came the little leather shoes, then the new clothes—it's like celebrating the New Year...
But no matter how confused she was, He Zhou still took her to the mall and bought her several outfits.
The commission the manager had just given him suddenly fell all at once onto her.
That's great, I don't need to buy any next summer. This summer is almost over, and it would be a waste to leave them there unworn.
However, He Zhou seemed to see right through her thoughts and said sarcastically, "You went to a prestigious school, so don't dress so shabbily and embarrass the He family. Once I become a famous chef, you'll have plenty of clothes to wear."
He Jing immediately grasped the key point: "Does Third Brother mean he'll still buy it for me in the future?"
He Zhou's expression froze, then he glanced at her with an almost idiotic look: "Shake your head to see if it's full of water. I bought you this because you spoke up for me at a crucial moment. There won't be any more like this in the future, so cherish these few clothes I bought you. He Sui, that brainless guy, probably doesn't even know your size..."
"Heh, think about it, out of all the people in the He family, only I buy clothes for you. You're really pathetic!"
He Jing: "..."
Third Brother, if you want to be kind to someone, just say so. Don't be so sarcastic, okay?
That sounds so infuriating!
...
Time passed unnoticed, and a few more days later, it was time for the A University Qingyuan training program to begin. He Jing packed her things early in the morning and went to A University to register.
Hearing that she was going to stay at University A, He Sui was so resentful that if there was a graveyard nearby, even ghosts would crawl out of the ground. After He Jing comforted him for a while, he said with a mournful look in his eyes, "Then you have to come back to see me often and cook for me."
He Jing was both amused and exasperated: "No matter how busy I am, I will still come back once a week."
Just like when he was living at school for the competition, it wasn't as dramatic as he had imagined.
But He Sui was still very dissatisfied.
Then, He Jing looked at He Ning, wanting to say goodbye to him.
He Ning remained silent for a moment, then took a small box out of his pocket and put it in her hand.
"This is... the team's salary."
He hasn't officially joined the provincial team yet, and this meager salary is just money the coach gave him to buy water because he felt bad about the special training he received.
He bought He Jing a brooch.
He Jing was a little surprised. She reached out and took the brooch, revealing a bright smile: "Thank you, Second Brother."
He Ning breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at He Zhou.
It was because He Jing was so happy to receive He Zhou's leather shoes that he thought of buying her a brooch.
However, at this moment, He Jing only had great doubts in her mind—
How come even her straight male second brother has learned to give gifts?
Is he dating someone?!
