Huo Yao went back to her seat.
Song Ning was about to ask who her daughter was when she saw her eldest son walking in. She instantly shut her mouth and glanced at her daughter's expression.
The two siblings had a huge misunderstanding.
Song Ning coughed dryly and put down her chopsticks. "Why are you back? Have you had dinner? "
The moment she finished her sentence, Huo Tingrui, Huo Xiang, and Huo Jinyan turned to look at Huo Yanxi. Their expressions mirrored Song Ning's.
They instinctively glanced at Huo Yao again.
It was as though they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Huo Yanxi felt a stab of pain in his heart as the bitter taste in his throat intensified. After some time, he nodded at Song Ning. "Yes, I have."
The atmosphere turned awkward. Song Ning did not know what to say for a moment.
Huo Tingrui broke the awkward silence. "Brother Yanxi, why are you back so late? Do you have something to tell me?"
Huo Yanxi tried to sound as natural as possible. "I saw on the Internet that Xiang was injured. Is that true?"
Huo Xiang nearly dropped his chopsticks.
Song Ning, who did not know the details, immediately smiled and said, "Of course not. Isn't your little brother fine?"
Huo Yanxi looked at Huo Xiang. He was relieved to see that he was not as bad as the rumors said. "I'm glad he's fine."
Huo Xiang coughed before he raised his head and said, "There are just groundless rumors online. They can't be trusted. They will die down in a few days."
"Uh huh." Huo Yanxi did not probe further.
Since there was nothing else to talk about, the dining room fell silent again.
Huo Yanxi stood rooted to the ground. He suddenly felt that he was unnecessary. He took a deep breath and smiled. "You guys go ahead and eat."
As he spoke, he walked towards the living room. When his eyes swept over the trophy in the glass cabinet, he was a little dazed. He looked at the two certificates hanging on the wall next to him.
Huo Yanxi walked over. One was the national quiz contest and the other was the English oral competition.
Huo Jinyan had just finished dinner. When he saw his eldest son staring at the certificates in a daze, he recalled that he had recorded his daughter's quiz contest, so he took out his phone.
He unlocked it and opened the video of the match that lasted a few minutes. Then, he patted his boss's arm and said, "Look at this."
The reason why he showed the video to his boss was very simple. He wanted his boss to see his sister's excellence and not misunderstand her.
Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes and looked at the phone screen.
Looking at his younger sister standing on the podium in the video, her face was full of confidence. Sentence after sentence came out of her mouth in fluent and standard English. At this moment, it was as if the whole stage was shining for her, and anyone could see her excellence.
Huo Yanxi stared blankly at her. He suddenly remembered a long time ago when he saw his sister reading an English book. He had mocked her in his heart for being a hypocrite and putting on an act.
But what was the truth? The appearance of this video seemed to be mocking him, mocking how stupid he was.
Huo Yanxi withdrew his gaze before he finished reading.
Huo Jinyan raised his hand and patted his eldest son's shoulder. He did not want to say too much. Some things had to be figured out on their own.

The next day, Huo Yao's phone kept vibrating in her pocket after school. She took it out unhurriedly.
