Yan Hanxi skipped another day of class that day, so He Jing deducted 10 points
from him.
Thanks to the relentless efforts of Cheng Yiâs two best friends, Cheng Yiâs votes finally increased visibly. From 20 votes to 300 votes, she surpassed her senior, Xu Bi, and took the number one spot.
He Jing only took a glance and closed the school forum. She did not pay further attention to it and packed her bag to leave the school.
However, Cheng Yi walked over with Liu Sisi and Zhang Man. Before she could say anything, Zhang Man said in a mocking tone, âHe Jing, why did you withdraw from the school belle selection?â
While waiting for He Jing to give her an ice cream treat, Shen Qiuyu sneered. âOf course itâs because she doesnât want to compete with a certain pheasant and lower herself. She can only endure it.â
He Jing wanted to laugh again. These two best friends were like two defenseless little hens in front of Shen Qiuyuâs maximum combat power.
Zhang Manâs expression turned ugly .âShen Qiuyu, would it kill you to speak nicely?â
Before Shen Qiuyu could speak, He Jingâs red lips curved up. âYou know that sheâs here, but you still have to come and provoke her and find trouble for yourselves. Isnât it that thereâs something wrong with your heads?â
Shen Qiuyu realized that He Jingâs words could be really mean. No wonder the two of them could previously argue evenly. She was delighted. It turned out that they were born to be sisters!
Cheng Yiâs expression turned cold. She pulled Zhang Man, who was about to flare up, and said, âForget it, letâs go. The school is about to close. We should go home.â
After the three of them left, He Jing walked out of the classroom with Shen Qiuyu.
He Jing treated Shen Qiuyu to a Pizza Hut-flavored cone that even came with a second cup at half-price. Shen Qiuyu ate her ice cream and couldnât help but complain to her idol. âSister Jing, youâre too stingy. Iâm the dignified daughter of the Shen family, and you actually treated me to such cheap ice cream.â
He Jing did not hide it and replied directly, âI canât afford it.â
Shen Qiuyu didnât believe it. âYouâre already so poor. Didnât the Cheng family help you?â
âThey gave it to me, but I didnât take it,â He Jing said lightly.
Shen Qiuyu thought about it and said, âThatâs true. With a villain like Cheng Yi around, itâs not safe to take the money. Itâs better not to take it.â
He Jing finished her ice cream and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She said, âI have to go find my brothers. Iâll leave first.â
Shen Qiuyu was still licking the ice cream that had melted because she had not paid attention to it. When she heard that, she hurriedly raised her head. He Jing had already disappeared into the crowd.
When He Jing arrived at First High School, she was carrying a lot of delicious
luuu.
As soon as He Sui came out of school, he shamelessly came up and said excitedly, âAre there beef meatballs today?â
âNo.â He Jing smiled.
Who would eat beef meatballs every day and not get sick of them?
He Sui was a little disappointed. He grabbed a piece of barbecued meat and said as he ate, âYou must remember to buy beef meatballs tomorrow. Iâ¦Xiaoguo loves them.â
He Jing was speechless. âThen why are you eating all the meatballs? Not a single one went to Xiaoguo.â
He Suiâs face flushed and he let out a soft sigh. âIâm just eating a few of your beef meatballs. Youâre so stingy. When I go to university and become successful, Iâll buy you whatever you want and give you all that I earn.â
That was precisely what He Jing wanted He Sui to say â that it was not a matter of money, as long as she wasnât cannon fodder at the critical moment.
Thinking of this, she stuffed a few more sticks of roasted meat into He Suiâs hands. After she was done, she suddenly remembered that there was someone else beside her. He Jing turned and handed over the plastic bag containing the roasted meat. âSecond brother, do you want to eat?â
He Ningâs eyes had a gloomy look and he seemed unhappy. âNo,â he said coldly.
After saying that, he strode ahead of them.
The three of them walked one after another and soon arrived at the bus stop.
He Jing waited for the bus with the crowd of people who were getting off work and school. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of a tall and slender figure..
