Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

The money was one thing, but the test papers were… Huo Yao felt this spelled the end of her sibling relationship with Huo Tingrui.

Huo Yao inhaled deeply before forcing out a smile. “It’s good. This is enough. You don’t need to get me anymore study material.”

“Okay.” Huo Yulin was relieved. He added after a moment. “I’ll send them over to you soon.”

Huo Yao veered her eyes away quietly and agreed halfheartedly.

Huo Yulin moved the boxes to the corner. His pale face seemed even more sallow under the light.

Huo Yao looked at her third older brother thoughtfully. On the way here, his assistant had told her that no one else was allowed inside the house other than a psychiatrist.

Huo Yulin was crazy about research, so he often locked himself up in the laboratory for days without coming out.

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts. She took a sip of water before initiating a conversation with him. “Brother Yulin, do you live by yourself?”

“Uh huh,” replied Huo Yulin.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he turned to look at Huo Yao. “How did your contest go today?”

“It was okay. I made it into the finals,” replied Huo Yao modestly.

Although Huo Yulin did not pay much attention to the contest, he nodded and commended sincerely. “Wow. You did pretty well.”

To avoid awkwardness, Huo Yulin took out his phone and asked her. “What’s the contest called? Can I find it online?”

Huo Yao shrugged. “I’m not sure either. It could be accessed back home, but I didn’t check it during the internationals.”

Huo Yulin put his phone away. He looked up at the clock on the wall and said, “I’m going to cook. Is there anything you don’t eat?”

“Nope, I’m not picky.”

Huo Yulin nodded without saying much and headed to the kitchen.

Huo Yao sat on the couch and felt bored, so she waved at the robot. Since she happened to be within its sensor zone, it came over slowly.

Huo Yao pressed the buttons on its chest when it reached her. In an instant, some data appeared on the screen on its head. Huo Yao glanced at it before pressing the buttons on its chest again disinterestedly, and the robot returned to stand-by mode.

Huo Yulin spent 30 minutes cooking. Then he set the table and called Huo Yao over to eat.

Huo Yao looked at the three dishes and soup on the table. They looked exquisite. She raised her brow in surprise and was impressed by his cooking skills.

Huo Yulin brought out two sets of cutlery and placed them on the table. He asked Huo Yao which set she preferred before taking the other one. He sat down on the other end of the rectangular table.

Since it was a little hard to reach for the food due to the distance between the two of them, Huo Yao took a random dish placed near her and said, “Brother Yulin, this is enough for me.”

Huo Yulin was confused.

“…”

Was there something wrong with his little sister?

Huo Yulin kept looking at Huo Yao subconsciously while they ate. It was the first time he ate like this, so it genuinely felt strange.

Huo Yulin was not in a hurry to send Huo Yao back to the hotel since it was still early. Instead, he turned on the television and sat down on the couch.

After Huo Yao came back from the bathroom, she saw Huo Yulin sitting there. She thoughtfully took the furthest seat from him when she came over.

Huo Yulin went speechless. “?”

Again?
