He Yuan knew that He Ning had always been a paranoid person. He couldn’t rest without clarifying certain things with her. He nodded and said, “Then Jingjing, let’s go back first.”
He Jing did not probe. She smiled at He Yuan and walked off with him.
There was a huge crowd at the entrance of the Yin High School. More and more students came out. He Ning waited there alone like a persistent green tree. After a while, he finally saw Cheng Yi and her two best friends exit.
When Cheng Yi saw He Ning, her face lit up. She asked her two best friends to leave first before walking over to He Ning alone. When she didn’t see He Sui, she asked in surprise, “Where’s Fourth brother?”
“He went back with Big brother.”
Cheng Yi’s eyes widened. “Big brother was here too?” After a pause, she suddenly felt that something was amiss. “Then why did Big brother leave before he saw me?”
He Ning was silent for a moment before he answered, “Why did you cry a few days ago such that the Cheng family called us?”
When Cheng Yi heard this, she immediately felt bad. Seeing He Ning’s attitude and He Yuan’s visit to the school, she guessed that things were most likely exposed, so she quickly lowered her head and replied in a disappointed tone, “I’m sorry, Second brother. I made you worry. I didn’t do well in my monthly exams, so I couldn’t help but cry.”
“Why didn’t you tell me when I asked you before?” He Ning frowned deeply.
Because of her, they had wronged He Jing for no reason…
Cheng Yi looked up in confusion. “Do I have to say this? I’m sorry, Second
Brother. I felt too embarrassed, so I didn’t tell you.”
He Ning was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, when he asked if He Jing had bullied her, she had indeed said no.
However, He Ning felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He kept feeling as if he had been tricked and had suffered a loss, so much so that he looked at Cheng Yi strangely.
Cheng Yi’s pure and pretty face was filled with uncertainty. “Second brother, what’s wrong?”
He Ning stared at her for a while, then looked away and said, “Nothing.”
Cheng Yi seemed to have guessed the whole story. She covered her mouth and said in surprise, “Second brother, could it be that you misunderstood Sister He Jing because of this and did something to her?”
He Ning was hit on the head by an invisible stick and fell into a state of frustration. He pursed his lips and did not speak. Cheng Yi immediately restrained her emotions and held He Ning’s hand. “It’s all because of me that you did such an impulsive thing. I’m sorry. Next time, I’ll make it clear.
Tomorrow, I’ll go to Sister He Jing to explain and ask for her forgiveness.”
After all, she was his younger sister who had grown up with him. Moreover, he was the one who liked…
He Ning closed his eyes and completely accepted the fact that his recklessness had led to this series of misunderstandings.
After controlling his emotions, he returned to his normal self and turned to look at her with a gentle gaze. “You didn’t mean it. There’s no need to apologize. Besides, I’ve already apologized.”
Cheng Yi hugged him and buried her face in his arms. She said softly, “Second brother, you’re the person I trust the most. I don’t want you to get hurt because of me. Next time, no matter if it’s true or not, don’t stand up for me anymore.
After all, Sister He Jing is your sister.”
He Ning’s heart skipped a beat. He let out a sigh and suppressed the fire in his heart. He said calmly, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
No matter what, he would never let anyone hurt her.
Even if that person was his younger sister, he still wouldn’t allow it.
Cheng Yi looked up and smiled sweetly. “Second brother, you’re so good to me. I like you the most.”
He Ning stared deeply at her. His cold face was as warm as melted spring water, and his thin lips could not help but curl up. He reached out and gently stroked her hair with an indescribable longing….
