Cheng Yi, oblivious to his presence, broke free from him and said, "Second Brother, I have to go back."
"Okay, I'll take you."
...
He Jing and He Yuan went home. He Sui was unusually quiet the whole way. He seemed a little depressed, as if he had suffered a great loss and had nowhere to talk about it.
He Jing knew more or less what he was thinking. Her red lips curled up imperceptibly. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. With this lesson learned, they would never dare to blindly trust Cheng Yi again...
This is also why she is unwilling to explain further.
Furthermore, she deliberately brought up He Yuan as a savior when the relationship between the siblings had become strained to a certain extent.
She didn't know the other brothers well, but she had a good grasp of He Yuan's personality. After all, he was going to be the president of the group in the future. How could he act impulsively like these two 17 or 18-year-old kids, and be dominated by emotions? His rationality must outweigh his emotions.
Not long after they got home, He Ning returned quickly. He didn't seem to be in a bad mood, which made it obvious that the real heiress had probably made up an excuse to brush it off. He Jing wasn't discouraged at all, nor did she think much of it. After all, just like how the female supporting character is naturally unable to walk when she sees the male lead, the second male lead will also naturally become less intelligent when he sees the female lead. Everything is subject to the laws of novels.
He Sui came back to life the moment he saw He Ning, and hurriedly went to his side to ask him what he had said to Cheng Yi.
He Ning lowered her eyes and explained things to Cheng Yi, soothing He Sui's emotions. He Sui's gloom immediately disappeared, and she became lively again: "I knew Xiao Yi didn't do it on purpose. She was just careless because she failed the monthly exam."
As he spoke, he turned back to look at He Jing: "Unlike someone who is so petty, Xiao Yi is my good sister, hmph!"
He Jing ignored him and went into the kitchen to help He Yuan. Soon, the kitchen was filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.
...
He Yuan only stayed for one day before returning to school. He Jing felt sorry for their short time together, so she bought him a large jar of candy before he left and asked him to take it to his dormitory.
He Yuan patted her head and said, "Don't waste money. Buy yourself some good food and take good care of yourself."
He Jing picked up the keychain and waved it in front of him: "I like the gift my older brother brought me."
A hint of doting expression appeared on He Yuan's calm and handsome face: "I'll bring it to you next time I come back."
He Jing nodded and saw him off until he boarded the bus. Only then did she turn back to get her schoolbag and prepare to go to school.
He Sui popped his head out and said sourly, "He's so good to my older brother, but so mean to me. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's my real brother and I'm his cousin."
He Jing retorted without hesitation, "If you're happy, I can call you cousin too."
He Sui spat three times in a row, then grabbed He Jing's arm: "You have to treat me the same way you treat my older brother, do you hear me?"
He Jing rolled her eyes: "I heard... a ghost."
"How can you be like this? You can't even treat everyone equally."
"I was a circus performer in my past life, and I could never hold a bowl level."
"Damn woman, you..."
He Ning trailed far behind the two, listening to their argument and bickering, and felt inexplicably irritated.
Despite such a huge misunderstanding, their relationship actually got even better...
When He Jing arrived at the school, she found the campus unusually lively today. Many people were holding their phones and discussing something in small groups. Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the side, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.
He Jing's lips twitched; she felt a sense of déjà vu about the scene.
