The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1204 - 452: Here Comes the Stingy Dad (Part 10)_2

Chapter 1204: Chapter 452: Here Comes the Stingy Dad (Part 10)_2

He Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat.

This old guy is actually so sensitive.

He, he just changed a form of address, and he was immediately found out?

No, wait, is this old miser really feeling something is off, or is he just saying it casually?

He Zhuo felt uneasy and slightly panicked, carefully sneaking a glance at He Tiantian’s expression.

Seeing "he" didn’t continue to cling to the topic of forms of address, but started showing off the money he earned to He Yue instead, He Zhuo finally let out a sigh of relief secretly.

However, after this "scare," He Zhuo didn’t dare to be overconfident.

When talking to He Yue again, he lost that frivolousness and flirtation, trying his best to imitate the original owner’s demeanor while "mutually hurting" each other with He Yue. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But after all, imitation is just imitation.

He Yue had grown up interacting with her brother, and the sibling’s relationship was very close.

Although He Yue hadn’t thought of "Time-traveling," "body possession," or similar online novel tropes, she still keenly sensed something was off.

Especially with dad’s complaint just now, which further reminded He Yue—

That’s right, her older brother was acting very strangely today.

The "snail" complaint aside, just the way he talked to her was, well, a bit odd.

He seemed particularly deliberate.

He was intentionally feigning warmth.

But the problem is, they are biological siblings, so why the need to "feign" anything?

He Yue felt a subtle unease inside, being a smart and clever girl, although she noticed the anomaly, she didn’t show any signs of it.

"Let’s see again! Maybe my brother is just too happy today; after all, he successfully signed with the online novel platform, and he gets a draft fee now!"

Thinking this, He Yue still didn’t convince herself.

Since she was a child, her brother may not have been a genius, but he was praised as a model child by everyone.

He studied well, was polite, and despite having a miserly dad who picked up junk, he wasn’t ashamed; instead, he confidently worked part-time jobs.

Since high school, her brother had earned living expenses on his own, bought clothes, shoes for her, and gave her pocket money!

Her brother was a person with a very strong inner self and was extremely confident.

He wouldn’t be so pleased with himself just because of a "success" and become overconfident.

He would never ridicule dad.

Although dad’s habit of getting free healthcare products is a bit bizarre, hasn’t dad done weird things in the past few years?

The siblings became used to it long ago.

They are people "tested by time," even if dad’s actions were outrageous, they wouldn’t laugh.

Let alone "burst into laughter" in front of dad!

"Your brother has changed!"

After sending He Zhuo off, He Tiantian mumbled with a pretense of complaint, "Hmph, that brat used to say I was miserly, and now he thinks I’m embarrassing!"

He Yue’s heart trembled slightly. Dad’s words hit the nail on the head.

Exactly, it was this change from "verbal to mental."

Brother seemed like a completely different person.

"Xiao Yue, watch out. Your brother seems very odd. Don’t let him fool you!"

He Tiantian, pretending to be angry, warned He Yue.

He Yue:... Although she felt there was more behind dad’s words, she understood dad was also concerned for her.

Forcing a smile, He Yue obediently replied, "Dad, I know. But you could really be misunderstanding brother. He, he—"

Instinctively wanting to defend her brother, He Yue kept stuttering at the word "he," unable to say more!

Because deep down, He Yue agreed with dad; her brother really did seem very different today.

Though reluctant to believe her brother "changed," He Yue remained vigilant.

During the holiday in November, He Zhuo didn’t go to his part-time job but returned home.

Still harboring YY thoughts, when he intentionally or unintentionally teased He Yue, she finally couldn’t hold back.

She turned cold, shrugged off He Zhuo’s hand from her shoulder, and directly questioned, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting so strange lately, don’t you know that?!"

He Zhuo was suddenly startled again, with his heart pounding.

Did I slip up again?

No way!

I’ve been trying my best to imitate the original, so why do they say he "changed"?

He Zhuo’s heart felt empty, desperately trying to stay calm.

However, the more he tried to cover up, the more He Yue’s heart sank.

Something is off, really off!

If in the past, she had scolded her brother like this, he would jokingly flick her forehead and call her disrespectful for not respecting her older brother.

But now, the familiar face before her lacked that self-righteous playfulness, showing more of a guilty and apologetic look instead.
