Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 24 - Strawberry Gardens

He Xiu left the bathroom after he finished bathing. He looked at his cell phone and realized that he had missed a call from Tang Zheng. While he towel-dried his hair, he returned the call. "What's the matter?"

Tang Zheng cackled evilly. "Master He, let's go pick strawberries tomorrow."

He Xiu lightly rubbed his temple as he sat down on his bed. "You are truly becoming more and more feminine."

Tang Zheng: "..."

"I have to work tomorrow. You can go pick strawberries by yourself."

After He Xiu finished speaking, he wanted to hang up. At that moment, Tang Zheng yelled, "I also invited two beauties!"

"Oh." He Xiu coldly responded and moved to hang up.

"It's Lin Zhen and Jian Yan!"

He Xiu paused before returning the phone to his ear. "When did you hook up with them?

Tang Zheng said with extreme anger, "What hook up; I...have a matter I'm collaborating with Chief Lin on."

Surprised, He Xiu asked, "What matter are you collaborating with her on? 《 Satisfactory 》's theme song?"

Tang Zheng snorted. "Do you want to know? Well, I'm not telling you. Do you want to come tomorrow? If you won't come, I'll invite someone else."

He Xiu said, "I'll come."

"Okay, it's decided. Drive your car to my home first tomorrow. We'll go together."

"Mn."

After He Xiu hung up the phone, he sat for some time on his bed before walking up to his mirror and picking up a hair dryer to blow dry his hair.

He and Tang Zheng had arranged to meet at the gate of Tang Mansion at 9:30AM, so in a rare occurrence, he left a bit later than usual. After he had tidied up and walked downstairs, He Jing Long and Zhao Ying Fang were still sitting at the table, eating breakfast with He Chen.

He Jing Long saw him appear and asked, "Why are you leaving so late today?"

He Xiu replied, "I'm meeting Tang Zheng today. I'll go to the company in the afternoon."

He Jing Long nodded. "You go to the company every day; you should rest more. Since you're here, you should eat with us."

"Can't. I arranged to eat with Tang Zheng." He Xiu didn't turn his head around as he left.

After he closed the door behind him, Zhao Ying Fang laughed loudly. "What is this attitude of his? Not even knowing to greet us when he sees us."

While He Jing Long drank his soup, he said, "It's not the first day he's acted like this. I thought you were long accustomed to it."

Zhao Ying Fang choked upon hearing his words. Still wanting to say something, He Jing Long looked at He Chen. "Did you quarrel with your older brother last night?"

He Chen set down his cup of coffee and smiled at him. "No; we were just talking about our brotherly feelings, nothing more."

Once those words left his mouth, Zhao Ying Fang's complexion became even more unsightly. "How many times have I told you, he is not your older brother!"

He Jing Long dropped his spoon. Pa. He seemed to also have become angry. "You even have the nerve to say that? How mischievous was He Chen as a child? It's exactly because you have always whispered in his ear that He Xiu is not his older brother, that he had come to steal the family estate, that he has become like this currently!"
