Min Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip elegantly. "Your grandma and I talked a lot after you left."
Huo Yao recalled the old woman who woke up early every morning to make breakfast for her and waited quietly at the door every night. She suddenly smiled warmly. "How's my grandma doing?"
"She's doing okay, but she's not feeling as good as before. Maybe it's because she can't bear to see you go," said Min Yu slowly.
Huo Yao lowered her eyes and went quiet for a moment. She did not wait for her grandma to come back from the hospital because she was afraid that she would be sad.
Min Yu said, "Your foster mother has brought her here. If you want to see her, you can go there at any time."
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly. She knew that He Xiaoman would bring her grandma here, so she was not surprised. She looked at Min Yu with a complicated expression and asked him. "How do you know so much?"
Even when Min Yu lived next door to them in Fu County, he did not interact much with them, so she had never heard her grandma mention him.
Min Yu raised his brow slightly and gave an irrelevant answer. "I also know where your grandma lives."
Huo Yao suddenly smiled ambiguously and said, "Since you know so much, are you my foster mother's illegitimate son?"
Min Yu's face instantly darkened. After some time, he said coldly, "You sure are imaginative."
"Thanks for the compliment," replied Huo Yao airily. She paused before she added with slight disdain. "But to be honest, my foster mother doesn't have the genes to give birth to a son like you."
Min Yu sneered softly.
The waiter came in with the dishes.
After the dishes were served, only the two of them were left in the private room. Min Yu recalled something and asked her. "You were stopped outside No.1 Middle School this morning because the security guard took your acceptance letter."
"How did you know about that?" Huo Yao glanced at him again.
Min Yu smiled. "I overheard it."
Huo Yao pursed her lips and picked up a piece of pork rib for herself. She muttered softly. "You sure have sharp ears."
Min Yu leaned against the chair lazily. He did not pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he said meaningfully, "It seems like it wasn't easy for you to change schools."
Huo Yao's hand paused. She recalled He Xiaoman's call last night and her lips swiftly curved into a sneer. "It's just a petty thing."
"Do you need help?" Min Yu asked playfully.
Huo Yao replied vaguely without looking up. "It's fine."
After Min Yu paid the bill, he asked Huo Yao. "Do you want me to take you to visit your grandmother?"
Huo Yao contemplated before she shook her head. "Nah, it's too late. Maybe another day."
Min Yu did not say much. He only said, "I will send you the address."
“OK。”

It was almost 8: 00 pm by the time Huo Yao arrived at the Huo residence. The moment Huo Yao stepped through the door, she sensed that something was amiss.
Huo Jinyan and Song Ning were sitting in the living room. The TV wasn't on, and they looked serious.
Huo Yao was puzzled for a moment before she said, "Dad, Mom, I'm home."
Song Ning got up from the couch and walked up to Huo Yao. She forced a smile because she had something on her mind. "How do you feel on the first day of school? Are you not used to it? "
