Chapter 58 Asking for Trouble



Yan Hanxi skipped class again today, and He Jing deducted 10 points from his score.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Cheng Yi's two best friends, Cheng Yi's votes finally increased visibly, from 20 votes to 300 votes, surpassing Xu Bi, a senior high school student, to become the new number one.

He Jing glanced at it once, then closed the school forum without paying any more attention, packed her bag, and prepared to leave school.

Cheng Yi walked over with Liu Sisi and Zhang Man. Without Cheng Yi having to say anything, Zhang Man said in a surprised tone that was clearly mocking, "He Jing, why did you withdraw from the school beauty pageant?"

Shen Qiuyu, who was waiting for He Jing to treat her to ice cream, let out a cold laugh: "It's just that I don't want to compete with some slut and lower my own standards, so I have no choice but to put up with it."

He Jing wanted to laugh again. These two best friends were like two defenseless little hens in front of Shen Qiuyu's MAX fighting power.

Zhang Man's face immediately turned ugly: "Shen Qiuyu, would it kill you to speak properly?"

Before Shen Qiuyu could speak, He Jing smiled and said, "You all know she's here, yet you still insist on coming to provoke her and make yourselves miserable. Aren't you out of your minds?"

Shen Qiuyu realized that He Jing had a sharp tongue, no wonder the two of them could argue so fiercely before, and she was so happy. It turned out that they were born to be sisters!

Cheng Yi's expression turned cold. She grabbed Zhang Man, who was about to lash out, and said, "Forget it, let's go. The school is about to close, we should go home."

After the three left, He Jing and Shen Qiuyu walked out of the classroom together.

He Jing treated Shen Qiuyu to a Pizza Hut original flavor cone with a buy-one-get-one-half-price offer. While eating her ice cream, Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but complain about her idol: "Sister Jing, you're so stingy. I'm the dignified young lady of the Shen family, and you're treating me to such a cheap ice cream."

He Jing didn't try to hide anything and replied directly, "I can't afford the expensive ones."

Shen Qiuyu was a little skeptical: "You're already so poor, didn't the Cheng family help your mother out?"

He Jing said calmly, "They gave it to me, but I didn't want it."

Shen Qiuyu thought for a moment and said, "That's true. With Cheng Yi, that scheming woman, around, she won't be at peace even if she takes the money. It's better not to take it."

After finishing her ice cream, He Jing wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "I have to go find my brother now. I'm leaving first."

Shen Qiuyu was still busy licking the melted ice cream that hadn't been properly cared for when she heard this and hurriedly looked up. He Jing had already disappeared into the crowd.

...

When He Jing arrived at No. 1 Middle School, she was carrying a lot of delicious food.

He Sui had just come out of school when he shamelessly sidled up to me, excitedly asking, "Do you have beef balls today?"

He Jing smiled and said, "No."

Who eats beef balls every day and never gets tired of them?

He Sui was a little disappointed. He grabbed a piece of Northwest-style roasted meat and said while eating, "Remember to buy beef balls tomorrow. I... Xiao Guo loves them."

He Jing was speechless: "Then why do all the beef balls end up in your mouth, while Xiao Guo doesn't get to eat a single one?"

He Sui blushed and scoffed, "It's just a few of your beef balls, you're so stingy. When I go to university and become successful, I'll buy you whatever you want, and all the money I earn will be yours."

What He Jing wanted was He Sui's words: money didn't matter, as long as she wasn't used as cannon fodder at crucial moments.

Thinking of this, she stuffed a few more pieces of grilled meat into He Sui's mouth. After she finished, she suddenly remembered that there was someone else beside her. He Jing turned her face away, handed over the plastic bag containing the grilled meat, and asked, "Second Brother, would you like some?"

He Ning's expression was somber, and he seemed unhappy. He said coldly, "I won't eat."

After saying that, he took a long stride and walked up to them.

The three walked one after the other and soon arrived at the bus stop.

He Jing waited for the bus with men, women, and children who were leaving get off work or school. Inadvertently, a tall and slender figure caught her eye.
