As soon as he finished speaking, He Ning pushed open the door and walked in with a basketball in his arms.

“What are you guys talking about?” asked the handsome man with a cool expression. His dark eyes swept across the room, surveying the three of them who were conversing.

He Chen had the best relationship with He Ning. “We’re talking about Sister He

Jing,” He Chen said. “She seems special.”

He Ning was stunned. This was beyond his expectations. “What’s so special about her?” he huffed. “It’s normal for a wealthy family’s pampered young miss to know how to build connections. What’s wrong? Are you guys interested in her.

“No, I just have a good impression of her,” He Chen answered readily.

He Ning’s brows furrowed as if he did not like He Chen saying such things. He sat on the bed and placed his new basketball by the headboard.

He caressed the basketball with his fingertips like it was the most precious thing in the world. After a while, he said, “She’s not as good as you think. You’ll know what I mean when you’ve interacted more with her in the future. Only Big Brother can deal with her.”

Despite his less-than-flattering assessment of He Jing, He Ning did not sound convincing.

He Chen was sensitive; he knew when it was best to keep one’s thoughts to themselves. He did not press the issue and turned to read the fantasy novel he had borrowed from his friend instead.

He Jing walked He Yuan to the bus stop, taking out the trash along the way. He Yuan offered to help, but she refused.

“Big Brother, you’re returning to school; you shouldn’t get your hands dirty. The university doesn’t offer laundromat services. The trash bag isn’t heavy; I can carry it myself.”

“I’m sorry I can’t be home to help smooth things over for you,” He Yuan sighed, ruffling his hair in frustration, an apologetic look marring his usually placid disposition. “I’m sure it’s hard getting along with the rest… If you get into any arguments with them, come to me. Big Brother will help you resolve it.”

He Jing dumped the trash into the bin, shaking her head as she did so. “No, no.

Fourth Brother isn’t targeting me anymore; he’s become very good to me. Second Brother and Third Brother are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. They’re very protective of me. Besides, I can look out for myself! Big Brother, don’t treat me like a child… Oh, have you finished the candy I gave you?”

“I have.” He Yuan patted He Jing’s head. “They were amazing. My classmates were green with envy and cursed me for having such a sweet sister.”

He Jing smiled brightly, her pretty face lighting up in He Yuan’s eyes. “Then I’ll send you some more, Big Brother. You’re studying at A University, right?”

He Yuan was extremely touched, but he refused. “Don’t waste your money on me. I haven’t been back in a while, and the moment I return, I find myself astonished by how much weight Fourth Brother has gained. Keep the money and take care of yourself. Don’t worry about the others.”

He Jing pouted. “How can I do that? You’re all my brothers. If I don’t care for you all, who will?”

Anguish gripped He Yuan’s heart. The He family had failed He Jing, causing her to live a life in heaven, only to be dragged into the pits of hell. Yet, despite what they had done to her, she did not hate them. Instead, she treated them as her brothers from the bottom of her heart.

There was probably no sister in this world who was better than her.

“I’ve been researching a particular chip recently,” He Yuan said, “If it proves successful, life won’t be so hard for us. You must take good care of yourself. Big Brother will work hard to support you.”

He Jing was slightly surprised. To think the revolutionary chip mentioned in the novel that would mark the rise of the He Corporation was already in the research stages of development…

In three years at most, the research on the chip would be successful.

Three years.

He Jing nodded. When she saw the bus coming, she urged him. “Big Brother, go quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be late arriving back at the dormitory.”

With much reluctance, He Yuan let go and said, “Wait for me,” his soft words rang like the crisp chime of a bell in He Jing’s ears, “I’ll work hard and let you live the life of a princess again.”

He Jing’s heart warmed. She waved at He Yuan and watched as the bus

departed. When she turned around, she met with He Sui, who had been standing behind her for an indeterminate length of time..
