Huo Tingrui kept putting food in Huo Yao’s bowl during lunch. He even shelled the seafood and seemed very gentlemanly.
“Oh yes, which school do you attend, Yaoyao?” asked Huo Tingrui calmly as he placed another de-shelled prawn in Huo Yao’s bowl.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at him and replied unhurriedly. “The No.1 Middle School.”
Huo Tingrui was surprised to hear that. He said, “That’s great! I couldn’t get in as I was two marks short. Till this day, it remains a matter of regret to me.”
He sighed.
“You played video games all through the night before you were to take your senior high entrance exams. You couldn’t get in because you asked for it. You don’t deserve any pity,” said Song Ning as she disclosed his shortcomings ruthlessly.
Huo Tingrui coughed to disguise his embarrassment and muttered. “People make mistakes when they are young.”

“Heh, you have so many excuses. Look at how diligent your baby sister is. She just took part in the National Quiz Contest and scored full marks. She’s way better than any of you boys.”
The moment she mentioned their daughter’s scores, Song Ning could not help beaming brightly.
“Are you for real?” said Huo Tingrui. He could not suppress his shock.
“Of course. I won’t lie about it. Yaoyao just went for the city level test today. Her scores will be out tomorrow. Remember to go online and check it out,” sneered Song Ning.
Huo Tingrui turned to look at Huo Yao and looked wounded. He said, “I heard about the contest when I was in school. It’s held once every two years, and all the straight-A students in the country take part in it. Did Yao score full marks for the prelim…”
That was incredible!!!
Huo Yao made eye contact with Huo Tingrui, who had a complicated look in his eyes. She pursed her lips into an adorable smile and said casually, “It’s nothing.”
Huo Tingrui, “!!!”
AHHHH. It felt as though Huo Yao had ousted him as the brightest kid in the family.

Huo Yao got ready to return to school after lunch. Huo Jinyan was supposed to send her but Huo Tingrui took over instead.
Huo Tingrui kept looking at his little sister from time to time as she sat in the front passenger seat. He could not help lamenting in his heart. Why were they so different even though they were born to the same set of parents?
Huo Yao sensed his stare. Her head was slanted, making her hair fall on her shoulder. She had a playful look about her. She looked at him somewhat quizzically and said, “Brother Tingrui?”
Huo Tingrui cleared his throat and said, “I was just wondering who groomed my little sister into such a fine young woman. I should find the time to visit her soon.”
Since he was roughly aware of her biological sister’s situation, he knew that Huo Yao did not grow up in the Lu residence but was raised by her grandmother in the countryside. He was suddenly a little curious about the old lady.
Huo Yao had not seen this coming. She pondered briefly and replied with a nod. “I’ll ask Grandma about it.”
“Mhm,” said Huo Tingrui softly without saying anything further.
Before long, the car reached the school.
“Brother Tingrui, I’m off,” said Huo Yao to Huo Tingrui as she undid her seatbelt.
Huo Tingrui rubbed his forehead as he replied, “Sure.”
Huo Yao had noticed that he kept subconsciously rubbing his head during the entire journey, so she could not help but ask. “Are you unwell?”
Huo Tingrui raised his eyes in surprise. But then he shook his head and replied with a smile. “It’s an occupational hazard. Happens when I use my brain too much.”
Huo Yao acknowledged him thoughtfully before she opened the car door. After she got out of the car, she turned to ask him. “When are you coming home?”
