“It’s fine.
If nothing unexpected happened, she should be first.
Just now, the staff asked her for her home address. If the ranking wasn’t surpassed by anyone before 12 0’clock that night, the prize would be sent home, and the winning list would be announced on Weibo.
He Sui said, “That’s good. We came out at one o’clock. You’ve played for so long.
You’ll definitely get first place.”
He Jing chuckled, “Fourth brother, you have too high of an expectation for me. Be careful not to be disappointed.”
He Sui didn’t believe it at all.
He thought, “Who was He Jing? He Jing was my super-talented sister. Unrivaled!”
He Jing ignored his skeptical gaze and looked around. “Have the other classmates left? Did anyone tell you?”
He Ning answered, “Yeah. They were the first to come out. We asked the staff and said that they had gone back. Then, we went to eat something.” It had been three hours since they had eaten something at one o’clock…
He Jing asked, “What did you guys eat?”
He Ning suddenly pursed his lips and fell silent. He Zhou said coldly, “Buns.”
He Jing’s heart sank. Her gaze fell on He Xiaoguo, who was listless beside him. She said solemnly, “Then let’s go and eat some more. Is Xiaoguo hungry? Let’s go and eat something delicious.”
He Xiaoguo was about to say that he was hungry when he looked up at He
Zhou’s expression and shook his head timidly. “Not hungry.”
He Jing directly pulled him over and hugged him. She patted his head and said,
“Xiaoguo, let’s go eat some snacks, okay?”
He Chen said hesitantly, “Sister He Jing, why don’t we go home and eat?”
He Jing smiled. “It’s okay, Sixth Brother. It’s just this once. It won’t cost a lot. We’ve been playing all day. I don’t think anyone has the energy to cook.” That might be the case, but there were eight of them now…
Even if each person only ate 10 RMB, it would still cost 80 RMB. This was the family’s expenses for a week.
At this moment, Yan Hanxi said with a smile, “Brothers, do me a favor and come to my restaurant. It’s nearby. He Jing and I are deskmates and we often help each other. Usually, He Jing helps me more. I don’t know how to thank her.”
They thought, “This…”
They hesitated and looked at each other.
However, He Sui’s handsome face darkened. He grabbed He Jing’s hand and wanted to take her away. He looked like he couldn’t be pulled back by nine bulls. He said, “Let’s go back and eat. I’ll cook.”
Don’t think he doesn’t know what Yan Hanxi was thinking.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to court his sister!
He thought, “Dream on!”
He would never let He Jing owe him a favor.
He Ning also said, “It’s only right for classmates to help each other. Let’s go back and eat. Thank you for your kindness.”
He Zhou couldn’t stand the way they were protecting He Jing, as if He Jing and
Yan Hanxi had nothing to do with each other. He put on a fake smile and said, “This student has a good relationship with He Jing. It’s ungrateful not to accept his kindness. I suggest we listen to him.”
He Sui was furious. Who couldn’t hear the sarcasm in his voice? He said angrily, “He Zhou, that’s enough. Are you going to sell your sister for glory just for a meal?”
He Jing’s lips twitched. “Fourth brother, that’s not how you use the idiom ‘selling sister for glory.”‘
A cold smile appeared in He Zhou’s eyes. ‘”Selling sister for glory’ isn’t an idiom.”
He Jing was speechless.
Yan Hanxi didn’t mind how awkward the situation was. He smiled without changing his expression. “Third brother is right. I suggest we listen to him.” At this moment, the others could no longer deny it.
He Zhou raised his head. If they continued to argue, it would only make them a laughingstock.
He Sui was still furious. He would definitely not eat a single bite of Yan Hanxi’s food later!
He Jing silently thanked Yan Hanxi, but Yan Hanxi turned a blind eye and walked away.
In less than five minutes, they arrived at the restaurant that Yan Hanxi had mentioned. It was an entire building that rose from the ground in a sparsely populated area.
It was so luxurious that it looked like it was built here for people to admire. Some people would believe that it was a museum, but it was indeed a restaurant. It was very magnificent and there were two welcoming hostesses at the door.
He Jing only took a glance and felt a slight headache.
Looking back, the He family brothers didn’t move at all. They stood there like wooden figures.
He Xiaoguo grabbed He Jing’s sleeve and blinked his big, watery eyes. His eyes were filled with inferiority and timidity. He said, “Sister, can we eat somewhere else?”
P.S. I can’t be inferior to the pigs in the production team, so I’ll update six chapters tomorrow..
