Huo Yao walked to the side and poured herself a glass of water. She took a sip before she rejected him slowly. "I don't think so."
A celebration meant spending money.
Treating someone meant spending money.
Huo Jinyan had already made a list of people he wanted to invite to the celebration. He had even decided on the venue. When his daughter suddenly rejected him, he instantly raised his head and looked at her. "Huh? Why not?"
Huo Yao leaned against the wall lazily. "It's just a small competition. It's not worth spending money on."
She was implying that if they had to spend money on a competition without any prize money, it would be a huge loss.
Huo Jinyan tried to explain. "Yao, it's not like we're lacking in..." Money.
Huo Yao raised her hand and interrupted him sternly. "Dad, we have to keep a low profile."
Huo Jinyan's lips twitched. "..."
In the past, these words had always come out of his mouth, but now they came out of his daughter's mouth … It made him feel inexplicably melancholic.
Huo Yao had already turned to go to the dining room. Huo Jinyan sat on the couch with mixed feelings. He felt as though he had obtained a treasure and wanted to show it off. However, he could only hide it. It was so bitter.
Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang came downstairs during breakfast.
Huo Xiang walked over and greeted them before instinctively sitting down next to his little sister.
Huo Tingrui pursed his lips. Huo Tingrui was such a shared younger brother!
Huo Tingrui sat down for breakfast too.
Huo Yao took a sip of milk before she turned to look at Huo Xiang. His complexion looked fine, and the toxins in his body had not spread. It seemed like he had listened to her and taken the medicine.
"Yao, why are you looking at me?" Huo Xiang blinked. His fine, curly hair, coupled with his dazed expression when he just woke up, made him look silly and adorable.
Huo Yao clenched her fists and resisted the urge to touch his head. She lowered her head and took a bite of her bun. "Nothing."
"Oh." Huo Xiang was rather disappointed. He thought his little sister would compliment him on his good looks today.
Huo Yao finished the last bite of her bun and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. She pulled out a glass bottle the size of an oral fluid from her jacket and placed it next to Huo Xiang.
Huo Xiang paused before he picked up the bottle. "What's this?"
Huo Tingrui, who was sitting opposite, also looked over.
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. "I noticed that you have been suffering from heat exhaustion recently, so I bought you something to clear your heat and detoxify your body."
Huo Xiang's eyes landed on the glass bottle. There was no label on it, so it did not look like the heat-clearing and detoxifying liquids sold in the market.
"Little Sister, Brother Tingrui is suffering from heatstroke too. Does he have it?" Huo Tingrui interrupted jealously.
Huo Yao's lips twitched. She glanced at him ambiguously and said, "I can give you an injection."
Huo Tingrui hurriedly shook his head. "Forget it."
When his sister smiled like this, it was quite scary.
Huo Xiang had already unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it. There was a faint medicinal fragrance, but it was not pungent.
Huo Yao leaned back in her chair slowly and placed one hand on the edge of the table. She did not say a word. Even though she looked relaxed, she gave off an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Huo Xiang glanced at her quietly. He recalled how Huo Yao had looked like this the last time he did not take the medicine she gave him. He instantly asked her carefully. "Do I just drink it like this?"
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao softly with a languid look in her eyes.
