Before long, the final results of the International Quiz Contest were displayed on the screen.
First place: Huo Yao from China, 200 marks.
Second place: Country M...
...
27th place: Yi Lianfan from China, 173 marks.
...
"Yay! We got first place. Our country finally got first place."
"Huo Yao, you are so outstanding!"
"Sob. I'm so touched. My eyes are brimming with tears."
The students around Huo Yao suddenly hugged each other. Their eyes reddened as they cried tears of joy.
This was not an individual competition. They were representing their country. This year, their country had finally made it to the finals. Their country's glory was greater than their personal glory.
Even the mere sight of it made their hearts skip a beat.
Huo Yao looked at the results on the screen with a smile. She was proud of herself.
Yi Lianfan turned to look at Huo Yao with an undetectable look of admiration in his eyes. He said softly, "Congratulations, Huo Yao. You got first place."
"You did well too." He was sincerely encouraging Yi Lianfan.
Yi Lianfan smiled without saying a word.
Before long, the news of Huo Yao winning the International Quiz Contest with full marks spread. The people who had just recovered from yesterday's preliminary results were shocked once again.
They had lost count of how many times their country had not made it to the finals. Moreover, they had gotten first place with full marks. Hence, Huo Yao's name was destined to be recorded in the history books. She would be the role model for the next and even the year after that.

In the hotel.
Huo Yao carefully placed the golden trophy into her suitcase. She could not help smiling when she looked at the trophy.
Her grandmother would surely be delighted to see it.
Huo Yao pulled her suitcase out of the room after she was done packing.
Before long, they hailed a cab and headed straight for the airport.
Huo Yao received Huo Yulin's call before the plane took off. She walked out of the waiting area.
"Brother Yulin, didn't I tell you not to send me off?" said Huo Yao as she stood a meter away from him.
Huo Yulin could not help smiling bitterly when he saw his little sister standing a distance away. "Must you talk to me from so far away?"
Huo Yao touched her nose.
Huo Yulin took the initiative to walk over. After he got closer, he looked into his younger sister's bright eyes and suddenly felt a little touched.
He raised his hand and placed his palm on the top of her head, rubbing it gently. "We are biological siblings. There's no need to be so distant."
Huo Yao had always been the one patting other people's heads, but today, she was the one being patted. "!!!"
Didn't you say that you didn't like people to get close to you, let alone touch you?
Dog Second Brother, you're playing with me!
Huo Tingrui, who was far away in China, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill run down his spine.
After chatting for 20 minutes, Huo Yao looked at her watch. "Brother Yulin, come home when you have time," said Huo Yao.
Huo Yulin was taken aback. After a while, he lowered his eyes and replied softly, "Okay."
He was a little absent-minded.
Huo Yao did not pay much attention to him. Instead, she said, "Brother Yulin, why don't you go back? I have to wait for my flight."
"Okay, go ahead. Have a safe trip. Send me a message when you get home," said Huo Yulin.
Huo Yao nodded and quickly returned to the waiting area.
Huo Yulin stood there for a few minutes before he sighed softly and left the airport.

By the time Huo Yao returned to City S, it was already the next morning.
