He Jing was bemused.
Which god had she offended?
As if understanding her confusion, Shen Qiuyu leaned toward her, whispering, âZhou Xueâer used to be your partner in the cooking class. The teacher chastised her for failing to cooperate with you in completing her homework.â
He Jing carefully searched her memories and vaguely remembered such an incident occurring.
The fake heiress and Zhou Xueâer had drawn lots and ended up together. As the fake heiress had no idea how to cook, she stood to one side and chattered away without lifting a finger to help. Things came to a head during a lesson focused on cake-making.
In the end, Zhou Xueâer was severely chastised for not doing her part, while the fake heiress used her influence as the young miss of the Cheng family to avoid blame.
Now that she thought about it⦠Hadnât the incident occurred a year ago? Why would it blow up now? He Jing smiled. âOh? Do you expect me to apologize to you?â
âYou should apologize to the whole class!â Zhou Xueâer was taken aback.
âAlright.â He Jing said lightly, âIâm sorry, everyone; I shouldnât have been vain.â
The whole class was speechless.
They did not want an apology! What they wanted was the tasty lie she had concocted!
Wu Yu burst into laughter. âAh! I canât take it anymore. Haha⦠This is the first time Iâve heard someone who cooks for another must apologize to a completely unrelated party. Sister Jing, lie as much as youâd like to me. I donât mind; I wouldnât even call you vainâ¦â
Zhou Xueâerâs expression turned ugly.
âZhou Xueâer, are you satisfied now?â He Jingâs red lips curved slightly.
Zhou Xueâer gritted her teeth.
He Jing nodded. âThatâs good. I donât want to create any misunderstandings.â
Zhou Xueâerâs mouth snapped shut, and she returned to her seat with her tail between her legs.
Wu Yu immediately posted this matter on the school forum. In the meantime, he said, âI bet this topic will hit the top ten miraculous events in Yin High School by the New Year.â
As expected, the post attracted the attention and discussion of the entire school.
A series of question marks flooded the comments section.
Shen Qiuyu rolled his eyes. âThatâs enough. You donât have to go crazy too! Zhou Xueâer is shameless, but Sister Jing takes the cakeâ¦â
It was with a heavy heart that Wu Yu stopped. Instead, he turned his attention to the Hello Kitty lunch box, saying, âBrother Xi, letâs see what else is inside.
There must be something more in the next layer!â
Yan Hanxi put the lunchbox into his bag and said, âI want to enjoy this surprise alone.â
No one noticed the unwillingness in Cheng Yiâs beautiful eyes. So what? He Jing had not done anything impressive. Hadnât she bought her way to a favorable impression? Two could play at that game!
After school, Cheng Yi was the first out of the door. Before Yan Hanxi could disappear, He Jing tugged his arm and asked, âAre you free?â
Yan Hanxi quirked a brow, but his heart was filled with excitement. âOf course.â
âI need your help picking out a few gifts,â He Jing said, âI plan on giving it to someone.â
Yan Hanxi was speechless.
He Ningâs birthday was the day after tomorrow. The fifth and sixth brothers of the He family would also return. She wanted to prepare three gifts: one for He Ning, one for her Fifth Brother, He Yi, and one for her Sixth Brother, He Chen.
First impressions were everything. She did not want her fifth and sixth brothers to be like He Sui and He Zhou â hostile toward her when they met. She did not want to start things off on the wrong foot.
He Jing had thought of asking Wu Yu, but Wu Yuâs dress sense was not what she would call appealing, so she had no choice but to ask Yan Hanxi for help.
The day was still young, so they went to Xinhua Street together..
