He even lied to her, saying he needed to go to Racheal's place beforehand to "make arrangements."
The moment He Chen and Yan Hanxi met in first class, Yan Hanxi quickly called out, "Sixth Brother."
He Chen didn't see any surprise or unwelcome on Yan Hanxi's face, and instead made a sarcastic remark: "Young Master Yan is really dedicated to running away with our precious little sister when we brothers aren't paying attention."
Yan Hanxi thought for a moment, then glanced meaningfully at He Jing: "Although, but, this time I was the one who was kidnapped. The model student said she wanted to..."
"Yan Hanxi!"
He Jing blushed and glared at him angrily, her cheeks puffed out in anger.
—How could you possibly bring something like this up with He Chen?!
He Jing's ears turned red, and she looked like a ripe tomato.
He Chen raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Yan Hanxi smiled and said, "He Jing said she wants to discuss biology with me, for example, mermaids."
He Jing: "..."
Awesome.
He Chen smiled slightly: "Young Master Yan, mermaids seem to belong to fantasy. I've read some theories about mermaids, perhaps we can discuss them."
Yan Hanxi: "Alright, since Sixth Brother is so interested, I'll certainly oblige."
...
The crisis was averted in an instant.
Listening to them enthusiastically discussing the differences between Eastern and Western mermaids, He Jing wiped the sweat from her forehead and relaxed, leaning back in her chair.
He Xiaoguo sat down next to He Jing and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Don't worry, Brother Xiaoxi won't betray you, he just wants to tease you."
He Jing suddenly felt that her mental fortitude was not even as good as a child's.
She almost wanted to cover her face, and thought angrily, knowing full well that she was easily taken seriously, why did Yan Hanxi keep teasing her?
Seemingly seeing through He Jing's thoughts, He Xiaoguo opened her big, bright eyes and said, "Maybe it's because my sister is so cute when she's being teased."
He Jing, who received the compliment "cute," was speechless.
Is she cute?
What makes her cute?
He Jing coughed, feigning seriousness: "Is...is that so?"
Yes, yes.
"All right."
For some inexplicable reason, He Jing's mood actually improved after He Xiaoguo's nonsensical words of comfort!
A few hours later, the plane landed.
He Chen was writing furiously in the taxi.
He was inspired by Yan Hanxi's words and wanted to write them down quickly.
Yan Hanxi sat in the passenger seat and secretly glanced back at He Jing, giving her a flirtatious look.
He was a little smug, as if asking He Jing, "Am I awesome?" He Jing found it both funny and speechless, and was almost driven to tears by his childishness.
Upon arriving at Racheal's home, He Jing presented gifts she had brought all the way from China. Racheal was not bothered by the unexpected presence of another person and warmly welcomed them inside.
This was not the old house He Jing had visited before, but an extremely magnificent mansion. As soon as they stepped across the threshold, they were shocked by the extra-long oil painting embedded in the wall.
Racheal introduced the paintings in his somewhat broken Mandarin: "These are my newly collected paintings, worth 43 million RMB."
He Chen: "...Inhumanly extravagant."
He Xiaoguo: "Cool!"
He Jing's lips twitched.
Yan Hanxi remained calm and composed.
No wonder Racheal entered the estate that Yan Hanxi bought at great expense for skiing without making a fuss; it turns out he's also a top-tier tycoon.
It's hard to imagine that someone so wealthy would be living in such a poor, remote place.
All I can say is that He Xiaoguo is incredibly lucky.
Racheal generously instructed the family's Filipino maid to arrange a guest room, then led He Xiaoguo to the music room, eagerly asking, "Xiaoguo, will you play the piano for me?"
