When Huo Yao saw that it was a voice call from the chief, she instantly averted her eyes and said calmly, "Your phone is ringing."
She meant for him to pick it up.
Shangguan Yun's face instantly sank when he realized what she meant.
He had always been afraid of the chief, who was much stricter with him than his sister. However, he was not as smart as his sister, so he had been scolded countless times since he was young.
He did not know why the chief was suddenly looking for him.
Shangguan Yun put down his chopsticks in the end and picked up his phone. He nodded at Huo Yulin before he picked up the call and headed out. "I- Aunt Tong, are you looking for me..."
Huo Yulin was slightly stunned when he heard Shangguan Yun calling him Aunt Tong. After some time, he veered his eyes away and hid the bitter smile in his eyes.
He must have been possessed to have lost his composure at the mention of Aunt Tong.
Aunt Tong had passed away a long time ago.
Huo Yao took in the look on Huo Yulin's face. She put down her chopsticks and asked him casually. "Oh yes. Are you planning to stay in the medical school?"
Huo Yulin raised his head and contemplated before he replied. "That's what I plan to do for now."
"Haven't found what you're looking for?" asked Huo Yulin casually.
Huo Yulin's fingers paused. He knew that his little sister had always been sharp. Although she did not ask him about it after the incident, it did not mean that she could not guess what had happened.
"No," replied Huo Yulin.
There was too little information on test subjects in the medical school. To be precise, all the past information had been encrypted, so it was almost impossible to find them now.
Huo Yao recalled the information on Aunt Tong that she had seen on Huo Yulin's computer and asked him. "Are you looking for research materials or something else?"
"Kind of." Huo Yulin nodded.
Huo Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip before she said, "Just let me know if you need any help."
Huo Yulin smiled. "Uh huh."
Before long, Shangguan Yun came back after the call. He looked much more relaxed than when he had left the office.
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at him. "Why did she call you?"
Shangguan Yun was still in a daze. After a while, he replied, "Nothing much, I just … said a few words of concern."
He would have thought it was normal if she had called him to scold him, but he was not used to the sudden change in attitude today.
Could it be that he was a latent masochist?
Shangguan Yun touched the tip of his nose and sat down again.
Huo Yao did not probe further. Instead, she said, "Give her a call when you have the time."
Shangguan Yun said, "Oh."

The next morning, Huo Yao went to the airport.
"Be careful when you get there. Look for Uncle Changfeng if you need anything. I told him your flight number. He will pick you up when you land," said Huo Yulin as he stood at the security checkpoint.
He was thinking about something, so his voice sounded a little serious.
Huo Yao tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and nodded. "Okay, I got it. Brother Yulin, you can go now."
Not far away, Li Chenhui and the rest had already walked over to meet up.
"Uh huh." Huo Yulin did not linger. Before he turned to leave, he raised his head and scanned the airport lobby. Then he turned to look at his little sister and asked her. "Why didn't Min Yu send you off today?"
