“Alright,” He Jing nodded.

Anyway, she could afford to wait.

Coincidentally, she was extremely short of money, so someone gave her the chance.

If the Zhou family was willing to offer a high price to recruit her, she would not have to worry about all the expenses for this semester.

Zhou Xue’er looked at He Jing again and again. She couldn’t figure out why He Jing had agreed. She was afraid that He Jing would go back on her word. She said uneasily, “Then I’ll contact you as soon as my father comes back.”

“Add me on WeChat.”

The fake daughter had never added Zhou Xue’er on WeChat, and it was even more impossible for her to do so.

Zhou Xue’er finally felt a sense of security as if a huge rock had been lifted off her chest. She returned to her seat with He Jing’s WeChat message.

After a boring Saturday, He Jing finally welcomed Sunday. She distributed the tickets to the Horror-themed Secret Room to the He family brothers and received different reactions.

He Sui’s eyes were extremely bright. He held the tickets and could not bear to part with them. He said, “Wow, how did you know that I like horror stuff? It looks super fun!”

He Ning’s good-looking brows furrowed slightly as if she wasn’t very interested in such things, but she still put the tickets in her pocket.

He Zhou threw the tickets directly onto the table in the living room and said,

“I’ll stay at home and take care of Xiaoguo.”

“No, I don’t want to stay at home. I want to go too,” He Xiaoguo grumbled.

He Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Third Brother, aren’t you going? If Third Brother doesn’t go, I won’t go either.”

“I’ll take care of He Xiaoguo then. Fifth Brother will stay at home with Third Brother.” He Chen smiled.

He looked as if he could not wait to be separated from He Yi.

He Zhou looked at He Yi and then at He Chen. He coldly picked up the ticket from the table and turned around to return to his room.

“There are still students tomorrow. I’ll be in the same group as them. Brothers, please work hard. The fastest to decipher the code will be rewarded.” He Jing smiled.

“Then will Xiaoyi go?” He Sui suddenly asked.

“It should be… It won’t… He Jing smiled faintly. “Unless Fourth Brother wants to invite her.”

He Sui pursed his lips and said, “Forget it. Xiaoyi is a girl. She’s timid. She definitely won’t like this. Let’s play.”

He Ning glanced at He Sui. He felt that He Sui’s heart had already drifted to the Pacific Ocean. Ever since he had wronged He Jing once, he had treated He Jing better than he knew. He had never been so warm to her when Cheng Yi was their sister.

He Jing listened to He Sui’s words, and her smile deepened. “Alright, brothers, sleep early. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”

He Xiaoguo spun around in circles for everyone and was as happy as a bird.

Early the next morning, He Jing came over and saw He Sui sitting in the living room reading the newspaper after washing up. He looked like he was afraid that she would leave him behind.

“Good morning,” He Jing said with a smile.

The others also walked out of their rooms one after another and began their daily routine in an orderly manner.

He Zhou silently entered the kitchen and began to make breakfast. He Jing looked at He Zhou’s expression through the glass door. It seemed that he had not smiled since he celebrated He Ning’s birthday.

He Sui pulled her to sit beside him. He also secretly stared at He Zhou and said to her, “Third Brother has suffered a blow.”

“What kind of blow did Third Brother receive?” He Jing asked in confusion.

He Sui muttered softly, “Of course, it’s because of you. Third Brother has always thought that he’s very talented in cooking. After meeting you, he was instantly turned into trash. I guess he’s feeling that his life is dark now and he can’t do anything. He’ll be fine after a while.”

The blow was only temporary, but with He Zhou’s unyielding personality, he would quickly pull himself together.

He Jing understood. She lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she smiled lightly. Her eyes were crescent-shaped. “If that’s the reason, I’ll persuade him to play in the secret room later..”
