He Sui had stood behind the pair, watching the scene unfold with a dumbfounded look. When He Jing caught him staring, he looked her straight in the eye and grunted unhappily:

“I thought you got lost since you took so long to see Big Brother off. He doesn’t come back very often, but that doesn’t mean he’ll never return. Was there a need to talk to him for so long?”

“He’s our eldest brother; don’t you know how to cherish the times he makes an effort to come home?” He Jing quipped.

“Is that how you show you cherish him?”

“How else would I show my appreciation for him?”

He Sui pulled her closer toward him. “You idiot! You don’t have to please everyone just to ingratiate yourself with us or integrate with the He family! Am I not enough? I’ll take care of you; I won’t let anyone in the He family bully you.

Besides, my grades are great. I’m the most promising of all your brothers. You’ll never want anything with me around. All I want are beef meatballs in exchange.”

He Jing could sense how serious He Sui was and fell silent. She could not help herself and teased, “Are you jealous? Are you planning on hogging me all to yourself?”

He Sui flung her arm aside as if she had burned him. “That’s not true.” The reddish tinge coloring the tips of his ears would attest otherwise.

His ears, cheeks, and neck flushed that rosy shade of red that so often indicated his fluster.

He Jing burst into laughter. He Sui glared at her, demanding, “What are you laughing at?”

He Jing could not help herself and continued teasing him. “I didn’t expect Fourth Brother to take me so seriously. I’m so happy!’ He Sui:

A smile bloomed on her lips like a rose unfurling its petals.

By this point, He Sui resembled a cooked lobster from the color of his skin and the steam gushing from his ears. He snorted and smiled. He could not help himself.

The next day, He Jing went to school and cleaned her drawer. She found the ticket to the Chamber of Horrors that Yan Hanxi had given her.

It was almost the weekend, but she had forgotten to redeem the coupons…

“What’s the matter?” A warm voice, carrying the tenor of a cello playing on the G-string, sounded beside her. “Tut-tut. Miss Merit Student, I hope you don’t forget your promise.”

It did not take He Jing long to remember that she had promised to team up with Yan Hanxi to tackle that secret room together.

“I’m thinking of going out and having fun with my siblings this weekend, ” He Jing said to Yan Hanxi.

Yan Hanxi quirked a brow. “Sure, but you can only team up with me.” “Alright,” He Jing agreed readily.

He Ning and He Sui did not look like they were afraid of ghosts at all.

He Xiaoguo might be afraid, but he would be well looked after with so many of his siblings around.

She never went back on her word. Yan Hanxi smirked. “There’s a competition on the first day the secret room opens to the public. The first player to escape will be awarded a prize. I’m not sure what the prize is, but it’ll definitely be generous.”

He Jing frowned.

Why was there always such a prize involved?

“What are you thinking about?” Yan Hanxi laughed. “Although the Yan

Corporation is involved in many industries, this is not one of them.”

Oh-

She thought that he was secretly helping her again.

As expected, she was overthinking things.

“Alright, I’ll do my best when the time comes.”

Wu Yu was holding a book while eavesdropping on the two of them. When he heard this, he could not help but say, “Sister Jing, you should think about what you’re going to do for cooking class first.”

Ever since their homeroom teacher announced the recommencement of the school’s cooking classes, Zhou Xue’er had been beside herself with joy. She often spoke ill about He Jing in class, so when she learned the new cooking teacher was her cousin, Zhou Xue’er believed it was the will of the divine, begging her to expose He Jing for the fraud she was..
