While removing the needles, Huo Yao took out the medicine and syringe from her pocket. She injected the medicine into Huo Tingrui's vein when he was not paying attention.
10 minutes later, Huo Yao removed the last needle. Her face was pale from exhaustion. She glanced at Tingrui and said, "It's done."
Huo Tingrui's forehead was drenched in sweat. He was exhausted and did not even feel like moving a finger.
"Oh yes. Brother Tingrui, it's best if you don't go out for the next two days," reminded Huo Yao as she put away the sterilized needles.
"Why?" asked Huo Tingrui in bewilderment as he turned to look at her.
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways. "Because you will want to go to the toilet non-stop."
Huo Tingrui recalled the scene he had seen on TV and instinctively said, "Acupuncture to expel toxins?"
Huo Yao raised her brow. "That's about it."
Huo Tingrui's face twitched. How ridiculous.
"Brother Tingrui, have a good rest. I'm going back to my room." Huo Yao did not say anything else before she left the room with the box of needles.
Huo Yao lay on the chaise longue for more than 10 minutes after she returned to her room. She rubbed her forehead and opened her eyes when the fatigue on her face faded.
She took out the remaining half of the analytical solution from her pocket. The light blue liquid was translucent under the light. She got up from the chair and walked to the bathroom.
Huo Yao opened the lid. Her eyelashes were slightly lowered, so no one could see her expression. She held the bottle with her fingertips and slowly poured the analytical solution into the toilet before flushing it.
Sigh.
Huo Yao sighed softly and threw the empty bottle into the bin.
She did not read or turn on her computer after she came out of the bathroom. Instead, she curled up on the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.
At this moment, her phone rang on the bedside table.
Huo Yao lay in bed quietly for a long time before she lifted the blanket and reached for her phone. She looked at the caller ID and hesitated before she answered the call.
"Are you asleep?" Min Yu's clear voice came from the other end of the line.
Huo Yao closed her eyes and acknowledged softly without much emotion.
Min Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his phone in hand. "Are you in a bad mood?"
Huo Yao opened her eyes and paused for a few seconds before she replied in a muffled voice. "A little."
"What happened?" Min Yu looked out of the window. It was already late at night, and everything was quiet.
Huo Yao pulled the blanket closer to her and said, "... It's nothing."
Min Yu went silent for a few seconds and said, "Don't overthink it."
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, her voice sounded less reckless and listless than usual. Instead, it was filled with the gentle emotions of an ordinary little girl.
It felt like a cat withdrawing its claws.
Min Yu composed himself. "Have a good sleep."
Huo Yao nodded. "Then... goodnight."
"Good night."
When Min Yu heard the call end, he lowered his phone from his ear. The screen was already dark. He moved his fingers and unlocked his phone. He tapped on WeChat and sent a message.
Huo Yao was about to put her phone down when she heard a notification from WeChat. She tapped it open.
[I heard that red packets can cure everything. Give it a try.]
Huo Yao was slightly stunned. Then she saw a few notifications of money transfers popping up on the screen.
Huo Yao's fingers paused on the screen when she saw the notifications. After some time, she could not help laughing and shrunk her head. She seemed to have calmed down in that instant.
