Chapter 1209: Chapter 454: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 12)

”...Did you come into a bit of money? Haha, you’ve made something of yourself, huh. But I’m your brother, how can I let you treat me?”

He Zhuo was doing his best to imitate the behavior of the original host.

From the memories he received, He Zhuo knew that the original host had a very good relationship with He Yue.

As a brother, the original host really took care of his sister.

In He Zhuo’s understanding, a brother taking care of his sister should mean being accommodating and doting.

Hmm, to use a trope from web novels, it would be ”sister complex.”

So, following his own understanding, He Zhuo felt that as a brother, he should spoil and look after his sister in every way.

Sister says she wants to treat him to a meal?

How could that be?

As a brother, how can he let his sister treat him to a meal?

Even if the sister ”came into a bit of money,” it’s still not okay.

”Coincidentally, I also want to eat braised pork, I’ll treat you!”

He Zhuo felt that his performance was simply perfect.

He could improvise freely based on the original character’s setting.

However, He Yue’s smile was a bit cold—

Indeed, something was off!

Her brother did take care of her, but in their family, equality was emphasized.

Even between father and son or brother and sister, there’s no talk of accommodating each other.

The dining table was like a battlefield, where their dad wouldn’t tell kindly lies like ”I don’t like it, I’m not hungry.”

And as for her brother, he wouldn’t hold back his cravings and say, ”Let my sister have it.”

The family emphasized sharing good stuff together.

And it was the same between He Yue and her brother—it was ”mutual.”

Her brother looked after her and gave her pocket money.

And she cared for her brother, finding reasons to treat him to something delicious.

Give and take, looking after each other—that was the normal mode of their sibling relationship.

The ”He Zhuo” on the other end of the phone spoke with the magnanimity and graciousness of an elder brother, very much like a good brother who spoils his little sister.

But he didn’t sound like her real brother, He Yue!

”...Alright, brother, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the third cafeteria!”

He Yue held her phone tightly, her eyes already cold, but she still tried to maintain her composure.

”Alright, it’s settled then!”

He Zhuo heard what He Yue said and thought he’d successfully fooled her with his acting, feeling secretly pleased with himself.

Feeling happy, he temporarily forgot the pain of spending money.

Sigh, fortunately, the original host had preloaded his meal card, and lately, He Zhuo had been dining at small restaurants outside.

There was still some money left on the meal card.

Otherwise, let alone treating his thrifty sister to braised pork, He Zhuo would have been worried about his regular three meals a day!

”Brother! I’m here!”

Upon arriving at the third cafeteria, He Yue had already adjusted her emotions.

Seeing a familiar figure in the crowd, she bounced over, waving her arms as usual.

”I’m here!”

He Zhuo also waved back at He Yue.

The ”siblings” met at the entrance of the cafeteria and went in together.

”Oh? They’ve got wontons today; I want some!”

He Yue exclaimed with feigned surprise as she passed by a window.

”Alright! I’ll get them for you!”

He Zhuo agreed with ”doting” despite the sting of spending money.

”Oh my, they also have braised eggplant!”

He Yue pointed out another dish.

He Zhuo continued to agree.

And so, by the time the siblings found an empty seat with their trays, the trays were already piled high with food.

”Dig in! Oh, by the way, our Xiao Yue doesn’t like cilantro, let me pick it out for you!”

He Zhuo commented deliberately, looking at the layer of cilantro floating in the wonton soup.

It must be said, as a time-traveling male lead, He Zhuo wasn’t completely incompetent.

He had merged with the original host’s memories and tried his best to emulate everything about the original host.

Even unintentionally, he hadn’t forgotten to maintain the original host’s persona.

For instance, the original host cared for his sister, and He Yue didn’t like cilantro.

The original host would help his sister by picking out the cilantro!

Upon hearing such considerate words from her ”brother,” and watching He Zhuo meticulously pick out the cilantro with his chopsticks, placing it on the table.

There was no cheer in He Yue’s eyes, only an increasing chill.

Indeed, she didn’t like cilantro, and her brother did help her pick it out.

But the problem was, her brother would put the picked-out cilantro directly into his own bowl.

Don’t forget, the Old He’s family’s tradition was ”frugality.”

As for cilantro, only He Yue didn’t like eating it.

The father and son, He Shoutian and He Zhuo, didn’t love it, but they didn’t dislike it either.

And another tradition of the He Family was that if there was a deal to be had, it must not be missed.

The He Family men didn’t dislike cilantro, but cilantro was expensive, and at home, they were usually reluctant to eat it.
