The two brothers were silent for a time. Eventually, He Sui went to He Jing's side and said, "Can you show me your hand?"
He Jing refused. She mimicked Cheng Yi's bashful countenance and looked away.
He Sui gently pulled her hand into his and said, "Let me have a look."
He was shocked when he saw He Jing's bruised arm. It looked terrible.
He Jing quickly snatched her hand away, saying, "Don't worry about me. Go and take care of Sister Cheng Yi. She fell just now, and her butt must be hurting."
"How painful can a fall be?" He Sui muttered. "She's fallen plenty of times since she was young."
Cheng Yi's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
What was he saying?
Cheng Yi turned to He Ning, believing he was smart enough to see through He Jing's cheap tricks and stand up for her. Unexpectedly, a slight frown overtook his features, and he asked her, "Xiao Yi, did you say what you did to He Jing?"
"I didn't!"
