He Sui had stood behind the pair, watching the scene unfold with a dumbfounded look. When He Jing caught him staring, he looked her straight in the eye and grunted unhappily:
"I thought you got lost since you took so long to see Big Brother off. He doesn't come back very often, but that doesn't mean he'll never return. Was there a need to talk to him for so long?"
"He's our eldest brother; don't you know how to cherish the times he makes an effort to come home?" He Jing quipped.
"Is that how you show you cherish him?"
"How else would I show my appreciation for him?"
He Sui pulled her closer toward him. "You idiot! You don't have to please everyone just to ingratiate yourself with us or integrate with the He family! Am I not enough? I'll take care of you; I won't let anyone in the He family bully you. Besides, my grades are great. I'm the most promising of all your brothers. You'll never want anything with me around. All I want are beef meatballs in exchange."
