Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With the washing machine, the He family’s life suddenly beca more convenient than ever. The He siblings could finally squeeze out so ti to do things they wanted.
Even He Zhou only snorted coldly and didn’t say anything. He acknowledged He Jing’s credit.
He Jing planned to send so snacks to He Yuan, afraid that he might neglect himself while engrossed in his research. She originally didn’t want He Sui to know about this, but she didn’t expect He Sui to catch a glimpse of her when she placed the order.
After getting on the bus, He Sui made a fuss all the way, annoying He Jing to the point where her head was spinning. She repeatedly stated that He Yuan had low blood sugar and was prone to problems if he was hungry. He Sui didn’t care and kept nagging that He Jing must prepare a portion for him next ti, making He Jing feel very helpless.
After a while, He Sui suddenly took sothing out of his bag like a thief.
It was a small cardboard box, adorned with a paper-folded heart that
resembled a creation from a kindergarten child.
He stuffed the small box into her hand. He was afraid that He Ning, who was listening to music with his headphones on, would hear him. He whispered, “This is for you.”
He Jing opened it and saw a pearl hairpin inside. It was the kind that cost two yuan in a five-yuan store. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you giving
She wasn’t soone who usually wore hairpins.
He Sui said softly, “Last ti when I lost Xiao Yi, I prepared one for her. I’m going to bring it to school this afternoon to coax her. But don’t worry, Xiao Yi’s isn’t as pretty as yours.”
After saying that, he was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, so he took out the hairpin from the other paper box and showed it to her.
Alright, if the one in her hand was worth two yuan, then the one for Cheng Yi was worth at most one yuan.
The pearls were chipped. She didn’t know where he had gotten them from.
He Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Fourth brother, aren’t you afraid that she’ll be even angrier if she finds out?”
He Sui shrugged, “I don’t care about her. Let’s wait until she finds out.” At most, he wouldn’t admit it.
Anyway, he couldn’t lose He Jing. He Jing had to have what Cheng Yi had.
He Ning sensed so activity, took off his headphones, and turned to look at the two. He frowned slightly, watching them, and asked, ” What are you two doing?”
He Sui imdiately straightened his body and coughed. “Nothing.”
He Ning noticed He Jing holding the pearl hairpin in her hand which she hadn’t managed to hide yet. He glanced at He Sui. “You took sothing from my drawer again.”
He Jing was speechless.
Good heavens, so he was offering a borrowed flower to Buddha.
He Sui wasn’t the least bit remorseful even though he was caught. Instead, he defended himself confidently, “We’re a family. What’s wrong with sharing things? You gave Xiao Yi so many things. What’s wrong with giving He Jing
He Ning suddenly fell silent. He had indeed planned to give this to Cheng Yi, but he looked at He Jing’s head. There wasn’t a single accessory on it. After three seconds of silence, he said, “Wear it. Fourth brother ant well.
They might have felt a little indebted to Cheng Yi, but He Jing was their biological sister, so she deserved more.
He Jing imdiately put on the pearl hairpin and smiled brightly. “Thank you, Second Brother.”
He Sui was displeased. “Why didn’t you thank ? I gave it to you.”
He Jing smiled. “Thank you.’
He Sui felt much better. He stared at the hairpin on He Jing’s head, which was pleasing to the eye. A lovely girl should be adorned with beautiful things. An empty look just wouldn’t do.
However, He Jing looked at He Ning. He had been unhappy ever since he ca back from the secret room. Though his expression remained aloof, there was a hint of indiscernible lancholy in his eyes, as if he had experienced a heartbreak.
He Jing could think of a connection. In the original novel, He Ning harbored deep feelings for Cheng Yi. He must have felt terrible when he learned that Cheng Yi liked Yan Hanxi.
However, she couldn’t help him for the ti being. He could only rely on himself to walk out of the pain of his breakup. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to expose this secret and make him even more embarrassed..
