He Jingxin readily agreed: "Okay!"
The two returned home, where it was quiet and the lights were off.
It was quite peculiar that everyone else was asleep while the two of them were awake.
He Ning walked to the sofa in the dark, turned on a small lamp, and went into the kitchen. He Jing changed her shoes and followed him.
He Ning was about to open the refrigerator to get eggs to cook noodles for He Jing when she noticed that the pressure cooker's keep-warm function was clearly lit. He Jing opened the pressure cooker and found a hot tofu and winter melon soup inside, with shrimp peeking out of the soup. He Jing also found rice noodles in the soup.
"Wow, Third Brother saved rice noodles for us!"
He Jing's face showed a hint of surprise.
He Ning frowned.
She should remove the "们".
He Zhou definitely reserved it for her alone.
To everyone's surprise, after He Jing scooped up the rice noodles, there were exactly two bowls.
He Zhou actually made it for him too.
He Ning was somewhat surprised.
Little did he know that while He Zhou was cooking the rice noodles, he was throwing them into the pot with a dark expression. He thought about how He Jing only had one bowl of rice noodles, enough for one person, and would definitely share it with He Ning. He thought the two siblings were so affectionate that he wanted to grab a handful and choke them to death.
He Ning was surprised by He Zhou's unusually generous silence. She helped He Jing carry the rice noodles to the table in the living room, and the two of them each ate a bowl.
He Jing picked up a shrimp and handed it to He Ning, smiling at him, "Second Brother, eat more."
He Ning did not refuse.
He lowered his eyes, recalling the phone call he made earlier that day. When he called Cheng Yi, she was still in class; classes at Liuchuan Academy started earlier than at No. 1 Middle School.
She left the classroom as she answered the call, letting the teacher's voice fade into the distance. Perhaps it was in the corridor that her words became clearer, and she said happily, "Second Brother."
He Ning asked directly, "You did that, didn't you?"
Cheng Yi paused, but did not deny it. She sensed his accusatory tone and slowly said, "Is Second Brother unhappy? I thought that Second Brother was frequently contacting talent scouts because he wanted to debut."
So, after she found out he had done a magazine shoot, she quickly offered him a helping hand.
But it seemed that wasn't the case. He Ning didn't appreciate it and quickly said, "If Second Brother is unhappy, I will have someone take the billboard down."
He Ning said calmly, "Please don't interfere in my affairs anymore."
Cheng Yi's breathing became erratic, and then she smiled bitterly: "I know that I did something very wrong in the past and hurt my second brother's feelings. I never thought that my second brother would forgive me, but I think that since I was wrong, I should make amends regardless of whether my second brother accepts it or not."
"I will never hurt Sister He Jing again."
He Ning remained silent, skeptical of what he had said.
Cheng Yi has been doing very well lately. She didn't come to them to compete with He Jing for favor, nor did she take the opportunity to act pitiful in front of He's mother. She shines in her own circle. He had heard He Yuan mention it before. She is very outstanding now and has a lot of people around her. There is really no need for her to compete with He Jing anymore.
"Second brother, don't worry, it won't happen again."
He Ning let out a soft "Mmm".
The two then hung up on each other on the phone.
He Ning looked at He Jing, pursing her lips slightly. Would she care that she had reconciled with Cheng Yi?
Of course, this does not mean that he wants to associate with Cheng Yi or accept Cheng Yi's help. He just doesn't want to continue to hate Cheng Yi and become a person who is not his own personality.
It's exhausting to hate someone.
