Fortunately, Yan Hanxi didn’t continue to pester her. After a while, he disappeared from view. He Jing looked away, frowned slightly, and went to First High School.
There was early dismissal at First High School that day. When He Jing arrived, He Ning and He Sui happened to come out with a group of male students. He Jing smiled and called out, “Second brother, Fourth brother!”
He Ning and He Sui looked up at the same time and saw the long-legged and slender He Jing not far off. Their expressions froze, and then they heard the surrounding students exclaim, “Wow!”
He Jing was tall, and the Yin High School’s skirt was short even for the average person. Even with the white stockings, her fair legs were exposed.
He Sui took off his school jacket that was tied around his waist, walked forward, and threw it at her. He said fiercely, “Didn’t we agree that you’d do some homework at Yin High School and wait for us to pick you up?
He Jing blinked. “I finished my homework in ten minutes between classes, so I came over.”
A male student from First High School nudged He Ning. He was envious and moved; so excited that he looked as though he had scored full marks. “He Ning, is this your sister? She’s so pretty.”
He Ning pursed his thin lips and ignored him.
He Jing walked up to He Ning and lifted her head to look at him. She called out ‘Second brother’ once more and then looked at the people beside him.
She smiled sweetly and waved at them. “Hello, my name is He Jing. I’m He Ning and He Suit s sister.”
The male students were restless. They secretly rubbed their palms and said softly, “He Jing, can you give me your We…”
Chat.
Before they could finish, He Ning placed his wide palm on He Jing’s face and turned her around. He coldly said, “Go.”
He Jing didn’t know what was going on. She sighed and complained, “Second brother, you’re covering my eyes.”
The male students were speechless. These two brothers… They had such a strong desire to protect…
He Jing followed He Ning and He Sui onto the bus. She didn’t understand why her two brothers were angry.
She was protected by the two of them in a small corner. There were no handrails around her, so she could only tug at He Ning’s clothes. After thinking for a moment, she chose somewhere else to tug at, asking He Sui, “Fourth brother, don’t you have a good relationship with your classmates?”
Oh.
So this was the crux of the problem.
He Jing understood and didn’t ask any further. They made their way home in this way. He Xiaoguo was already back and was sprawled at the dining table in the living room doing his homework.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, his dark, beady eyes lit up. He jumped down from the high chair that was so high that his toes couldn’t reach the ground. When he saw He Jing holding a snack in her hand, he ran over happily and hugged He Jing’s thigh.
He Jing smiled. She bent down and patted his head before handing him the snacks. He Xiaoguo immediately opened the snacks.
He Sui tossed his bag on the sofa and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
He Ning was about to go into her room when He Xiaoguo suddenly choked and said, “By the way, Xiao Jing… There were several calls earlier… They were for you…”
He Jing looked at his bulging hamster-like cheeks as he sucked on his chubby little fingers. Her gaze was gentle as she asked, “Who called?”
“She didn’t say. She only said that she wanted you to return a call when you came back.”
“I got it,” He Jing said.
The He family was poor and could not afford a cell phone for everyone, so they had an old-fashioned landline at home. The old-fashioned telephone had not been cleaned for a long time, and the dial was covered in dust. However, the phone body was smooth to the touch, and not even a single scrap of paint had peeled off. He Jing picked it up.
She opened the call history and a long string of numbers at the top jumped into view – it was actually the Cheng family’s phone number..
