Chapter 25
He Ning was frying eggs. When he saw her approaching, his gaze hardened and he ordered coldly, “Stand further away.”
He Jing had just stopped when the oil in the pot splashed out. It didn’t burn anything, but there was an obvious spot of oil on her school uniform.
He Ning frowned and called out, “Fourth Brother.”
He Sui also came into the kitchen.
He still had a triangular plastic board in his hand that he hadn’t put down in time. He asked, “Second Brother, what’s wrong?”
He Ning pursed his thin lips and ordered, “Take her out.”
When He Sui saw He Jing, he sneered and said mockingly, “I told you earlier that Second Brother wouldn’t pay attention to you, but you still went up to him.”
Just as he finished speaking, He Ning said, “Change out of your school uniform and let Fourth Brother wash it for you.”
He Sui, who was pleased with himself, was speechless. He had a face full of questions instantly.
He Jing glanced at He Sui and saw his expression as if he had eaten sh*t. She smiled. “Okay, thank you, Second Brother.”
He Sui called out “Second Brother” in dissatisfaction. He wanted to protest, but when he saw He Ning raise his eyebrows, he immediately wilted and became extremely depressed. “So be it. If you go to Yin High School wearing dirty clothes, you’ll be embarrassing our He family.”
He Jing was amused and raised her eyebrows. She did not expect He Sui to be so afraid of He Ning.
Sometimes, he would even speak harshly to Mother He. He Ning could subdue him with a single glance. As expected of the second male lead.
He Sui met her teasing gaze and immediately glared at her, saying fiercely, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and take it off.”
He Jing was just teasing him. She didn’t really want to embarrass him, so she laughed, “Fourth Brother, there’s no need. The school is about to issue a new uniform. It’s just a small spot of oil that you can’t notice if you don’t look carefully.”
He Sui immediately beamed with joy and revealed an “at least you know what” expression. He turned to He Ning and muttered, “Second Brother, you heard her. It’s not that I didn’t want to wash
for her!”
He Ning replied with an “Mm”. He Sui quickly ran out of the kitchen, afraid that there would be more trouble.
He Jing found an apron from somewhere and put it on. The big apron wrapped around her slender body. Even if it was an ordinary apron, she looked very good when she put it on. “Second Brother, let me help you. This way, I won’t dirty my clothes.”
He Ning pursed his thin lips slightly and did not object. However, when He Jing walked to his side, he said, “I’ve paid you back for what I owed you yesterday.”
He Jing was stunned and felt a little helpless.
It turned out that he showed her kindness because he felt that he owed her something.
Yesterday, because of his words, she was ridiculed and bullied by He Sui, so he specially made her reclaim it back from He Sui today. This was really…
He Jing didn’t know what to say.
However, He Jing did not give up and smiled at him. “Thank you, Second Brother, for specially giving me pineapple bread last night. It was delicious.”
He Ning’s beautiful eyebrows knitted immediately, and his voice was clear and slightly cold, “What pineapple bread?”
He Jing was stunned. She was even more surprised than him. If he didn’t give her the pineapple bread, then who did?
Suddenly, a ridiculous thought surfaced in her mind. She turned around and looked at He Sui, who was playing with He Xiaoguo on the sofa.
She thought, “Could it be him?”
The corners of He Jing’s mouth twitched slightly, and then she fell silent. After a moment, she raised her face and easily avoided the topic. “It’s nothing. Maybe someone accidentally stuffed it into my place. Second Brother, what do you want me to do, I’ll help you.”
He Ning was not a person who loved gossip. He frowned and did not ask further. He turned off the fire and scooped the eggs from the pot and said, “Done.”
He Jing was speechless.
