Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Ningâs expression changed in an instant. He looked at Cheng Yi in shock. It took him a long time to react, and then he pursed his thin lips.
So she already had a boyfriend, but why didnât she tell him?
In her eyes, he was just an older brother. Now that he had left the He family, he was not even an older brother. There was indeed no need to report to him.
However, the disappointment in his heart could not be stopped no matter what. It was like a flood breaking through a dam and sweeping him away.
Cheng Yi saw the change in his eyes and started to panic. She quickly explained,â Third Brother, donât talk nonsense. I havenât got a boyfriend yet. I just have a little crush on himâ¦â
He Zhou held her shoulders, signaling her not to be shy. Then he looked at He Ning and said mockingly, âThereâs nothing wrong with having someone you like. Youâll never lose to He Jing on this pointâ¦â
The deep hurt in He Ningâs eyes turned dark like stagnant water. He sorted out his complicated emotions and said expressionlessly, âThird brother is right. Thereâs nothing wrong with having someone you like. Youâre at the age where youâre in love for the first time. I can understand.â
He Yi stared at He Ning and sighed in his heart. In the entire He family, only He Sui didnât know that He Ning liked Cheng Yi. He Ning must be feeling very upset right now. He quickly changed the topic and said, âItâs getting late. Letâs talk after weâre done. Fourth Sister and the others are already far away.â
The topic stopped there. He Chen moved his gaze away from Cheng Yi and did not look at her again. He seemed to treat Cheng Yi as his biological sister and did not show any unnecessary emotions. He walked beside Cheng Yi as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Yi still wanted to make up for it. She deliberated and pretended to be relaxed. âsecond brother, why donât I be in the same group as you? Iâve thought about it. Iâm only in high school now. Itâs not good to be in a relationship so early. â
âNo need,â He Ning said lightly. âYou can go after the person you like. I wonât interfere.â
Cheng Yi had been rebuffed and had nothing to say. She could only think of talking to He Ning after she came out of the secret room.
Just like that, the four of them caught up with He Jing in a silent and strange atmosphere and met up with the students of Grade Two, Class Three.
Apart from Yan Hanxi, Shen Qiuyu, Wu Yu, and the others were all there.
The handsome young man seemed to be born with a halo. Standing in the crowd, he attracted the attention of all the girls present. Even many girls with boyfriends couldnât help but look at him frequently, making their boyfriends secretly jealous. Yan Hanxi saw He Jing and immediately smiled at her. âWeâre finally here.â
âSorry for the long wait,â He Jingâs red lips curved slightly.
âWell, I did wait for a long time,â Yan Hanxi said. âHow are you going to make it up to me?â
He Sui stepped between the two of them and looked at Yan Hanxi warily.
âIâm her brother. Iâll make it up to her on her behalf.â
He Jing was speechless.
Yan Hanxi was speechless.
He Chen was speechless.
He Xiaoguo blinked. He bit his hand and looked at Yan Hanxi. âCan I make it up to Sister Jing? I can apologize to Brother. Iâm sorry.â
Yan Hanxi coughed. He was too embarrassed to tell the kid that he was flirting in front of so many people. He called out tentatively, âFourth Brother?â
âWhat?â He Sui was instantly enraged. âAh! Whoâs your fourth brother?â
Yan Hanxi had heard some gossip in class. Cheng Yi had six older brothers and one younger brother. The most annoying one was his fourth brother, who was also a computer genius. He was the one who helped He Jing crack the IP address during the vote fraud incident.
With a look, he immediately matched the number..
