When He Jing entered, she discovered Cheng Yi in her room, flipping through her books and notes. He Jingâs expression turned cold, and she immediately snatched her things from Cheng Yiâs hands.
âPlease donât touch my things,â He Jing hissed.
Cheng Yi was not embarrassed despite having been caught snooping through He Jingâs things. âThis used to be my room,â she drawled. âI didnât expect it to be in this state; I certainly didnât leave it in the state it is now when I left. It seems no one has bothered to help you tidy things up.â
He Jing could tell Cheng Yi was trying to show off her status in the family. She could not be bothered to play Cheng Yiâs games and said, âPlease get out.â
Cheng Yi smiled smugly and turned to leave. She had achieved her goal anyway.
She was sure He Jingâs status was not very high in the family. It seemed she had let her imagination run wild and panicked for nothing.
But it did not matter. She would soon take back what belonged to her.
He Ning was on the phone with his parents when he left the house. Although they were on a business trip, they did not forget He Ningâs birthday.
Five minutes later, He Yuan came back. He had taken a half day at work to celebrate He Ningâs birthday. He even brought cake! From its size, it looked around 12 inches long.
He Yi and He Chen also returned around the same time.
He Jing was greeted by the sight of two teenagers, who looked very similar, as soon as she stepped out of the room. They were wearing the same T-shirt and jeans. They were twins.
He Jing was speechless.
This was going to be troublesome.
Like the other brothers of the He family, He Yi and He Chen also inherited the excellent appearance genes of their parents. They had long eyelashes, double eyelids, and pupils, the uncanny shade of obsidian so unlike most others. Both sported short hair, barely tickling the tips of their ears. It gave them the look of two beautiful porcelain dolls.
Cheng Yi snickered, having expected He Jing to find herself in a tricky position.
With her nose and chin raised, she strode to the two and greeted, âFifth Brother, Sixth Brother.â
âXiao Yi, youâre back,â the twins replied almost simultaneously.
He Sui silently crept to He Jingâs side and whispered, âFifth Brother is the one on the left. The one on the right is Sixth Brother. Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother have a different feel to them.
He Jing noticed that her fifth brother, He Yi, was more reserved, while her sixth brother was more outgoing. âFifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Iâm He Jing, your sister. This is the gift Iâve prepared for you both.â
She handed the cartoon key and bookmark to He Yi and Chen, respectively. They looked down at the things in their hands and fell silent. Then, almost in unison, they looked at her, smiling gently.
âThank you. Iâm He Yi.â
âThank you. Iâm He Chen.â
Cheng Yi was momentarily stunned by the twinsâ reaction, anger slowly dominating all other emotions. She had not expected He Jing to bribe them with gifts so openly!
Fortunately, she had come prepared.
âFifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Iâve also brought some gifts for you both,â Cheng Yi interrupted. âIâll have someone bring them in.â
Cheng Yi called a bodyguard and asked them to bring a few things from the carâs trunk.
She had gotten them two pairs of identical sneakers.
He Yi received the shoes. He was also silent for a moment. Then, he smiled. âXiao Yi, youâre so thoughtful.â
He Chen lowered his head and placed the pair of sneakers by his feet to compare them. Then, he said, âI like them very much.â
Cheng Yi heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at He Jing proudly. What was the use of the cartoon keychain and the antique bookmark? The He family were all practical people. He Yi and He Chenâs shoes were old, so they would like the gifts she gave them more.. Half-siblings were still half-siblings!
