Chapter 26: Damn Tsundere
Chapter 26: Damn Tsundere
As she buried her doubts in her heart, He Jing's perception of He Sui changed.
She remembered that the original novel didn't portray He Sui as a tsundere...
This intermittent and piercing gaze made He Sui inexplicably feel goosebumps. He could not help but wonder if someone was cursing him behind his back.
When he finally caught the source of that gaze from He Jing, he rebuked bluntly, "What are you looking at? What's there to see?"
He Jing straightforwardly asked, "Fourth Brother, did you give me the pineapple bread last night?"
He Sui's expression changed drastically at a speed visible to the naked eye. His ears turned red all of a sudden, and he became completely flustered. It was as if his mind had gone blank for a moment, and he did not know how to answer. Then, he raised his voice and adopted an extremely ferocious attitude, "Bullsh*t, I... I won't give you bread."
At the end of his sentence, he stuttered.
He Jing's mood was strange.
He Xiaoguo was eating fried eggs. He held a spoon in one hand and asked curiously, "What pineapple bread?"
He Sui's redness extended from his ears to his face. He quickly kicked He Ning's foot under the table and hinted crazily, "I'm not sure. It must be Second Brother who gave it to me."
He Ning cooly rejected, "I didn't."
He Sui was anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then it must have been Mom who gave it to you. Anyway, it's not me. It definitely can't be me."
He Jing drawled, "Oh" and smiled faintly. "I don't think it's Foruth Brother either. Maybe Mom gave it to me. I'll ask her later."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Sui stood up with a whoosh and roared, "It's just a loaf of bread. Is it necessary to ask so many questions? You're so petty. I wonder how the Cheng family treated you?"
Seeing that he was about to get angry, He Jing promptly changed the subject and said calmly, "Mainly because the bread is too delicious. I liked it a lot, so I wanted to ask where it was bought and thank the person at the same time."
He Sui was speechless as he suddenly lost his temper and his face turned red. He slowly sat down again and squeezed out a sentence after a long time, "You're so greedy. It's just a piece of bread. You're so ignorant."
He Jing got up and went back to her room. She took out the leftover oden and placed it on the dining table. "It's still good when it's hot. Second Brother and I came back late, so I'll have to trouble Fourth Brother to give this to the person who gave me the bread."
He Sui snorted and turned his head. "I don't want it. You trouble someone else."
He Jing clasped her hands together and said coquettishly, "Fourth Brother, please."
"This is you begging me."
"Yes, yes."
He Xiaoguo bit on the egg. He couldn't understand why He Jing had to ask He Sui, who had been at loggerheads with her, when He Sui and He Ning were in the same high school and returned home late.
He thought, "Sigh, my brothers and sisters are too strange. It's a headache."
...
Yin High School didn't have a day off on Saturday. It only had a day off on Sunday, so He Jing still had to go to school today.
He Xiaoguo was still picked up by her third brother, whom she had never met before. Before she left, He Jing asked, "When are Third Brother, Fifth Brother, and Sixth Brother coming back from Aunt's house?"
He Sui stretched his neck to look at the bus on the road and replied, "Aunt's family owns a snack bar. Recently, a new residential building has opened near them. The flow of people is huge, and they need help. Third Brother, Fifth Brother, and Sixth Brother won't be back until next week at least."
He Jing didn't know much about the situation of the He family's relatives. After all, there were many and complicated characters in the novel. Some unimportant characters would be written in a few sentences or a chapter or two. Moreover, readers were more focused on the emotional and sweet romantic parts rather than paying special attention to those characters.
