Before he arrived, He Sui and He Ning were already there. They stood out in the crowd like before, attracting the attention of many girls.
He Jing had just come out of the Yin High School School when she heard He Sui grumbling unhappily, “What is Big brother up to, calling us to the entrance of Yin High School. What can’t we talk about at home?”
He Ning was still cold and aloof. With one hand in his pocket, his beautiful brows furrowed with a trace of impatience.
He Sui was used to being ignored by him, but he was still open-minded. “Hey, Second brother, do you think that Big brother was too enraged when he found out that He Jing bullied Xiao Yi, so he decided to draw a line with He Jing at the entrance of Yin High School School and bring Xiao Yi back?”
He Ning silently glanced at him. “Do you think that’s possible?”
No matter how overboard He Jing was, she was still their sister. He Yuan would not do such a thing without considering their parents’ feelings.
He Sui knew that it was impossible, but sincerely hoped for it so he said it out loud. “I hope Big brother will come later and teach He Jing a lesson.”
Heh…
He Jing walked towards them, feeling both angry and amused.
When He Yuan came later, who knew who would be the one to really get it from him.
He Sui turned around and saw He Jing standing behind him. He got a fright, as if he had seen a ghost. “When did you arrive?”
“Only just,” He Jing said lightly.
He Sui glowered at her and mumbled. His voice was so soft that it could not be heard clearly. Then, he said seriously, “He Jing, we’ll give you one last chance. As long as you promise to apologize to Xiao Yi, we’ll let bygones be bygones and put in a good word for you in front of Big brother. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as an apology later.”
Although He Yuan was gentle, he was actually very fierce, even fiercer than them.
He Jing deliberately teased them. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “I bullied your precious Xiao Yi, and you can forgive me?”
He Sui was immediately provoked and glared at her. “Don’t do this again!”
He Jing raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that nothing was going in and gave a perfunctory attitude.
Even He Ning, who was used to being indifferent and casual, said coldly, “No matter what you do, we can put up with you. Except for this matter.”
He Jing grunted and reluctantly gave an answer. “We’ll see.”
“You…”
The three of them were getting increasingly hostile when He Yuan finally got off the bus, arriving late.
He had probably just finished his part-time job and hadn’t even changed out of his work clothes before he rushed over. Before he could get close, he apologized gently, “Sorry, I’m late.”
He Jing smiled sweetly, her eyes curved. “It’s not late. I just got out of school.”
He Sui stood beside He Jing and felt He Jing’s beauty at close range. He could not help but curse to himself, “You really know how to pretend in front of Big brother.” Then, he walked over to He Yuan and called out, “Brother.”
He Yuan didn’t even look at him. He walked towards He Jing and took out a keychain from behind him. “Here.”
He Jing saw that there was a very small and cute Pikachu doll hanging on the keychain. This was the first time she had received such a gift. She was so delighted that her eyes narrowed into slits and she gave He Yuan a big hug. “Thank you, Big brother.”
He Sui looked on jealously. “Do you have to do this for a keychain? Don’t you know how to restrain yourself outside?”
This d*mned woman had never smiled so brightly at him before.
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was amiss. He rushed to He Yuan’s side and said angrily, “Big brother, she bullied Xiao Yi, and you still bought her a gift. Aren’t you being too biased?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t taken the initiative to bring this up, but once he did, He Yuan’s face darkened. He took a deep breath and said coldly, “I applied for half a day off from school for this..”
