Chapter 10

Mother He said, “You can just sit on the sofa. Xiao Yuan, take the rice from the rice cooker and serve it to Ningning and Xiao Sui.”

He Ning and He Sui were growing, so how could they skip meals?

In the room.

He Sui sat in front of an old desk that was almost crushed by books and felt depressed. Losing to He Jing was really too embarrassing. He could only comfort himself with the excuse that He Jing must have studied at the Cheng family to feel better.

He turned to look at He Ning, who was lying on the bed. His eyes were closed, and he had earphones in his ears that had lost their paint. He was listening to music on an outdated mp3 player. His black hair covered his full forehead, and the curves of his face were extremely handsome.

He Sui called out, “Second Brother.”

He Ning took off an earpiece and opened his eyes. His expression was cold and impatient.

“What is it?”

“When He Jing went out to look for you today, did she say anything to you?”

“No.”

With just a few words, He Sui already sensed that He Ning was in a bad mood. He shut his mouth resentfully and stopped asking for trouble.

He Ning plugged the earphones back on, and a tender and crisp female voice played in the earphones. It was Cheng Yi.

…

The next day, He Jing woke up early and tidied up the room.

She didn’t like to use second-hand things, so she had to throw away everything that Cheng Yi had left behind.

When she opened the door with a full bag of items, He Jing happened to bump into He Ning, who was walking out of the room. The two of them looked at each other. He Ning remained expressionless, and He Jing greeted her with a sweet smile, “Good morning.”

He Ning walked past her without looking at her.

He Jing usually used the bathroom at 6:30 am. It was only 6 am now. He Yuan, He Sui, and He Xiaoguo would come out later. After washing up, everyone would sit together for breakfast.

Father He and Mother He had to leave early for work, so they couldn’t eat breakfast together.

He Jing had packed a lot of things. It took her a lot of effort to move from the door of the room to the sofa. She sat on the floor and swung her arms with a sense of helplessness. Suddenly, a hand reached out in front of her and easily picked up the things.

He Jing followed the hand and looked up. It was He Yuan.

He had just woken up. His hair was disheveled, and the sleepiness in his eyes had not dissipated. He Jing’s smile was as bright as a sunflower in the morning. “Good morning, Big Brother.”

He Yuan said, “Leave the heavy work to us boys. You’re a girl. You shouldn’t force yourself.”

He Jing felt a heartfelt warmth in her heart. She got up from the ground and followed He Yuan out. Unexpectedly, a hole appeared in the bag and the rubbish she had collected spilled all over the floor.

Cheng Yi’s skincare products, clothes, and cheap jewelry were all over the ground.

At the same time, He Sui opened the door and exploded on the spot.

“He Jing, what are you doing!”

He Ning walked out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth and foam all over the corner of his mouth.

Even He Xiaoguo also came out of the room.

Even He Yuan’s expression was quite unsightly. He had thought that He Jing was just cleaning up the ordinary trash, but he did not expect her to throw away Cheng Yi’s belongings without permission.

Yet, she smiled and said calmly, “There were too many things piled up in the room. If I didn’t throw some away, it would be very crowded, so I cleared some.”

He Sui rushed to He Jing and grabbed her wrist. His eyes were red as he roared angrily, “These are all Xiao Yi’s things. What right do you have to do this?!”

He Jing’s hand was in pain from the strangulation. She glanced at the other three brothers, and their expressions were all indifferent.

It was obvious that they felt that she was wrong because they only treated her as an outsider who had only been here for a day. Cheng Yi was their biological sister in their eyes.
