Chapter 182: Different
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Sui felt like they were making a mountain out of a molehill. Children of the He family were known for their independence. Even if they got lost, they would ask for directions and find their way home without being shy. Moreover, Cheng Yi was chauffeured in a luxury car with bodyguards constantly escorting her!
Yan Hanxi disengaged himself from the awkward situation, casually saying, “I didn't know Cheng Yi was so young that she couldn't take care of herself. Student He Jing has always been taking care of herself.”
Everyone at the table was stunned.
How could this be…
She used to be the daughter of the Cheng family. Didn't chauffeurs and housekeepers surround her?
He Jing was speechless because she suddenly remembered that the fake heiress often seemed alone whenever she pursued Yan Hanxi in the original novel. She thought Yan Hanxi had not been paying attention to these things, so it surprised her that he knew so much about her situation.
“Xiao Yi is also very independent. We don't usually have to worry about her.” He Zhou did not want to ruin Cheng Yi's image in Yan Hanxi's mind, so he changed the topic. “Let's eat.”
Although that was what he said, the He family brothers knew that Cheng Yi was a little delicate. They helped her with all the other work besides washing her underwear. She had to be picked up and sent to and from school in middle school.
Of course, they would not say these words aloud, so the matter ended there, and no one mentioned it again.
However, something else had taken root in their hearts: pity for He Jing.
They had thought He Jing had gone through life with a silver spoon in her mouth. How much of what they knew about her was true? The person they now knew was one tempered by solitude with no one to rely on. Although she was once known as a rich young lady, it was only one side of the coin, and they had not noticed her loneliness.
Yan Hanxi's words hung in the air. No one was in the mood to eat.
Halfway through, Yan Hanxi asked the chef to explain how he had managed to prepare the food, and the atmosphere improved. He Sui took advantage of everyone's attention being diverted to stuff two meatballs into his mouth.
He Jing noticed the tension between He Yi and He Chen. Concerned, she asked, “What's wrong with Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother?”
He Yi refused to even look at He Chen.
“We had a disagreement in one of the secret rooms. It fine. Things will return to normal in a bit,” Chen answered truthfully.
They were already on bad terms with each other; what was a little more bad blood between them?
He Jing found it funny and could not help but tease him. “Although Fifth
Brother and Sixth Brother look alike, you two sure are different.”
He Yi looked up. He Chen felt like a stone had been thrown into the still waters of his heart, causing endless ripples to form across the surface. However, he did not let it show and feigned calm, “Why does Sister He Jing say so?”
“Fifth Brother is calmer. If I had to describe him, he would be a rock. Sixth Brother is more carefree in speech and temperament – almost like the wind that flies upon open skies. He's also gentler. I would be surprised if either the wind or rock could resonate with each other.” He Jing paused before adding, “That's just what I think; it's my opinion. Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, don't take it to heart.”
He Yi and He Chen fell silent and looked at each other upon hearing He Jing's description of them.
For some reason, He Yi's pent-up anger dissipated. He uttered a word of affirmation and said, “Yes.”
“Is it that obvious?” He Chen touched his face.
If it was so obvious, why was He Jing the only one who noticed it?
He Jing nodded. “It's quite obvious. People would have easily told you apart if it weren't for how closely you resembled each other. No one would think you were the same person.”
“We're not the same person,” He Yi said calmly.
“Indeed.” He Chen smiled.
No wonder she prepared different gifts for them. She did not treat the two of them as one individual but as two people, each with distinct identities..
