Real And Fake Young Lady: I Have Seven Brothers Pampering Me After I Transmigrated Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Second Brother’s Preference
Chu Ning spent another half an hour to reach the last bus stop. She glanced at the time; it was almost six o’clock in the evening.
She estimated that the market had already closed. Even if she went to buy vegetables, she wouldn’t be able to purchase fresh ones. If she went to the fresh supermarket, she wouldn’t be able to afford it. She had no choice. She was cash-strapped now…
“Let’s buy some snacks home.” Chu Ning thought to herself. She turned a corner and went to a supermarket.
When she returned home, she found that only her second brother, Chu Jing, was home. Chu Huan was studying at a nearby university. He had a part-time job at night and could not return for the time being. Chu Ning’s parents worked twelve hours a day, sometimes even reaching fourteen hours a day. It was very tiring for them, so they had not returned either.
“It’s so quiet all of a sudden. It feels slightly different from yesterday.”
Chu Ning said softly. Looking at the empty living room, she wasn’t quite used to it…
“Second Brother, I’m back!”
After Chu Ning called out, she found that Chu Jing’s door was open. At this time, he was sitting in front of the computer, typing lines of code. He didn’t even notice that Chu Ning had come back…
“He’s really pure and extreme.” Chu Ning was helpless, so she left Chu Jing alone.
Chu Ning walked to the kitchen and saw that someone had prepared the food. Just as she was feeling surprised, she heard a voice behind her, “Xiaoning, it must have been tiring for you to go to school. Hurry up and eat. I just prepared this not long ago. I didn’t expect you to be back already. Xiaoting used to return very late when she stayed here.”
Chu Ning turned around and saw Chu Jing’s earphones still hanging around his neck. He gave a silly smile upon seeing Chu Ning.
“My second brother, although I know you are explaining it out of kindness, why did you mention Ye Ting in front of me…”
Chu Ning secretly complained in her heart, but then, a sweet smile appeared on her face. “Thank you, Second Brother. You are the one who has worked hard. I can cook dinner in the future. I have more free time. Oh yes, when will the Fourth Brother, and Mum and Dad be home?”
“Mum and Dad will be back at around seven o’clock. Fourth Brother will be back at around nine o’clock. It’s okay. I’m usually at home. You all have to go to school or to work.” Chu Jing scratched his head in embarrassment.
“You’re a man of integrity.” Chu Ning mocked Chu Jing in her heart.
“Then have you had your dinner?” Chu Ning continued to ask.
“I did, then I started writing code,” Chu Jing answered honestly.
“Oh, I bought you ice cream and yogurt. I put them in the fridge.”
“I don’t eat that often,” Chu Jing replied after thinking for a while.
Chu Ning was at a loss for words.
“There’s a reason why you became a hacker, Second Brother,” Chu Ning was too tired to raise any objections.
“Then Xiao Ning, please eat. If there’s anything, let me know. I’ll go back to work first.”
After saying that, Chu Jing walked toward his room. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked towards Chu Ning again.
“Eh? Is there anything that I didn’t explain clearly?”
However, just as Chu Ning surmised…
Chu Jing directly took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket. He took Chu Ning’s hand and placed it in her hand.
“I don’t have much abilities, but I don’t want you to suffer. Xiaoning, take this money first. I might have to leave after a while. Remember, you will always be my sister. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Although our family isn’t rich, I believe that it won’t be like this in the future. Life will slowly get better…”
At first, Chu Ning wanted to refuse, but her hands were tightly held by Chu Jing. Gradually, as Chu Jing stuttered and took awhile to get the words out, Chu Ning’s eyes began to moisten…
This innocent and honest second brother who had difficulty articulating truly cared for his younger sister!
“I’ll go back to work first. You should hurry up and eat. Then you don’t have to heat the food when it gets cold later. It’s troublesome.”
After saying that, Chu Jing walked back to his room and continued to type the code.
Chu Ning lowered her head and looked at the thick stack of cash in her palm. She was unwilling. She knew that her second brother must have withdrawn it from the bank today…
“Ye Ting, I’m quite envious of you… You have seven brothers’ love, but you’re still not satisfied. The moment you stepped into the Ye family, you were destined not to come back any more!” Chu Ning clenched the money in her hand tightly.
