He Jing left the room, and He Yi followed her out.
When Cheng Yi saw He Jing emerge from the room one after the other, her right eyelid suddenly twitched, alarm bells rang in her mind, and she thought to herself, "This is bad."
She was so focused on winning over He's mother that she forgot how cold she had been to He Yi when he gave her a gift last time. He Jing must have taken advantage of her absence to curry favor with He Yi.
Cheng Yi was a little flustered, but not particularly flustered. Her mind raced as she recalled what her close friends had told her: occasional setbacks do not mean final victory. Even if He Jing succeeds once or twice, it doesn't matter. She absolutely cannot lose her composure.
One or two attempts to win people's hearts with ulterior motives won't work. Ultimately, whoever's side leans towards wins. She can slowly win He Yi's heart back.
She can do it!
So, as He's mother was thoughtfully peeling an apple for Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi looked up and, as if just noticing He Yi, exclaimed in surprise, "Fifth Brother, I've been looking for you! You've finally come out of your room!"
He Yi was surprised and looked at Cheng Yi with a slightly puzzled expression.
Of all his brothers, Mileage Meter's relationship with him wasn't the best.
She was actually looking for herself.
"Is there something you need?"
He asked, flattered.
Cheng Yi rummaged through her handbag and pulled out a ticket to a large ACG event. She said, "I was very touched when Fifth Brother came all the way here to give me a birthday present last time, so I kept an eye out for anime-related events for him. This is the ticket I bought for him."
He Yi was stunned, hesitating in place because the matter was too fantastical.
Cheng Yi winked again, playfully tempting, "There's also a fan meeting with the anime producer, Taeko Aino."
Immediately, He Yi's eyes lit up slightly.
Without a doubt, he is a fan of Taeko Ano, and he has watched the anime she created at least ten times.
His voice was hoarse, filled with apprehension at being the center of attention, as he asked in a low voice, "How did you know I like Miao-chan?"
Cheng Yi glanced meaningfully at He Jing, who was going back to her room to get chocolates, and said with a smile, "It's because of Sister He Jing. I saw that Sister He Jing gave Fifth Brother a Q-version anime keychain for Second Brother's birthday last time, and I was wondering if Fifth Brother would like anime. I didn't expect Fifth Brother to actually like it. That's great."
He Yi immediately looked at He Jing, who smiled faintly at him, seemingly not minding at all, and even giving him an encouraging look...
Cheng Yi didn't see the detailed expression on He Jing's face and assumed that He Jing was staring at He Yi because she was angry. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her red lips, put the tickets under the fruit plate, and said, "Fifth Brother, I put the tickets here."
He Yi withdrew his gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then replied, "Okay."
After a pause, he added, "Thank you, Xiaoyi."
Cheng Yi shook her head, indicating that she didn't care: "I didn't have a chance to say more to Fifth Brother last time. I just hope he's not angry with me."
He Yi pursed his lips and remained silent.
He wasn't angry with Cheng Yi, he was just a little self-conscious.
...
Seeing that Cheng Yi had become the center of attention again, He Jingmo went into the kitchen without saying a word. He Zhou looked at the fire and seemed a little impatient. When he saw her, he smiled coldly: "You've finished delivering warmth, and now you're willing to come back? Who will suffer this time?"
He Jing replied with a smile, "I saw that Fifth Brother seemed unhappy, so I went to comfort him for a bit. Third Brother, here you go."
She held out the chocolate in her hand.
He Zhou's eyes narrowed, his mocking expression froze on his face, and after a long while, he stared at He Jing with a suspicious look and asked with a venomous tongue, "You didn't poison the chocolate, did you?"
