He Zhou choked, and his expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

These days, in an attempt to make He Jing realize that they could be cooking partners, he had indeed been overly attentive.

He wandered around He Jing for no reason. When he saw He Jing wanting to take a glass of water, he would pretend to casually pick it up and hand it to her.

When He Jing wanted to mop the floor, he would sweep it clean first.

In short, there were countless such things. Even a fool would understand the meaning.

He Jing looked up at him and asked, “Third brother, don’t tell me you haven’t given up on the idea of making me a chef?”

He Zhou blurted out without thinking, “Why not?”

He Jing was a little helpless. “Third brother, I’m really not interested in the profession of a chef. I want to pursue a career in chemistry.”

He Zhou stared at her gloomily for a while. After a long while, he spoke again, “In any case, you must give it a try.”

He Jing was speechless.

Got it.

He didn’t listen at all.

An hour later, He Yuan’s meal was ready. He Jing and He Zhou walked out of the room. The atmosphere was a little gloomy.

When He Ning saw this, he frowned and called He Zhou over. Neither of them spoke first and looked at each other.

He Sui, on the other hand, with his straightforward nature, didn’t notice it at all. He hugged He Jing’s arm and said in a low voice, “Big Brother’s cooking isn’t good. You should eat less.”

He Jing raised her eyebrows. Oh?

When they reached the dining table, it turned out that He Sui’s earth-shattering lie was about He Yuan. He had cooked the best meal, secondly only to He Zhou’s, and it gave off the same warm aura as he was.

He Sui knew that he had failed to frame He Yuan, so he looked at He Yuan sadly. He endured it silently until He Yuan left the He family two days later and went back to university.

The provincial physics competition was a month away. The venue was in A-City, but it was located in another school.

It took an hour to get there from Yin High School, and the school specially arranged transportation to send the examinees there.

However, there was one exception, and that was Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yue deliberately called the school and told them that he would personally send Cheng Yi to the examination hall. The school readily agreed.

Cheng Yi felt almost insane. For the past month, Cheng Yue had done nothing but accompany her and watched her do the questions.

She braced herself to learn those things that she couldn’t understand at all. She was like a ruthless study machine that dared not call a halt.

She really hoped that she could fall seriously ill, but unfortunately, she couldn’t. Cheng Yue had asked someone to customize a special nutritious meal for her, and the family doctor was on standby 24 hours a day.

Hence, she didn’t even have the chance to slack off. She was tormented until she was about to enter the examination hall…

“Xiao Yi, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”

Cheng Yi wanted to say “yes”, but when she thought of the first time she pretended to be sick and undergone comprehensive tests by the family doctor that found nothing, Cheng Yue cast a pained look at her.

“Xiao Yi, I know that you’ve been having a hard time with your studies recently, but this is a critical moment. Work harder. When the summer vacation comes,

Dad will take you overseas for a vacation.”

She forced the words back into her throat.

Seeing that she was silent, Cheng Yue said again, “Is there anything bothering you? Tell me about it. I’ll solve it for you. Don’t bring it to the examination hall and affect the exam.’

Cheng Yi couldn’t help by say, “Dad, I want to go to the examination hall by myself.”

Cheng Yue was a little surprised. “Why?”

Cheng Yi’s face was pale. She forced a smile. “Because Dad has delayed work for many days to accompany me. I feel guilty..”
