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.
