Song Ning was busy cooking in the kitchen. Huo Yao walked over and asked her casually. "Mom, has the old man left?"
Song Ning turned to glance at her daughter but did not correct her. Instead, she said, "He must have caught a cold last night. He has been listless the whole day. He just took his medicine and went back to his room to rest."
Huo Yao frowned when she heard this.
What was this old liar up to this time?
"I'll go up and take a look," said Huo Yao.
Song Ning waved her hand. "Go ahead."
Before long, Huo Yao went upstairs. The guest room was not locked from the inside. She turned the knob and pushed the door open.
The curtains of the room were drawn, so no light could enter, so the whole room was dark, and there was no ventilation. It was very stuffy.
Huo Yao switched on the chandelier. Her eyes landed on the bed and paused for a moment. She walked over and saw the old man sleeping with his eyes closed. He did not look well.
Was he really sick?
The old man was not in a deep sleep. He was just in a bad state of mind, so he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Huo Yao staring at him unblinkingly, he said weakly, "Why? Are you happy to see me sick?"
Huo Yao glanced at him. "Since you have the strength to talk, it doesn't seem that serious."
The old man felt even more dizzy. "You are such a heartless person."
"Heh. I don't need to be kind to a liar like you." Huo Yao's voice was as cold as ever.
The old man covered his head with the blanket. "Hurry up and leave. Don't make my illness worse. If you do, I will never leave your house again."
Huo Yao shook her head speechlessly. She walked over to the window and opened it. Fresh air instantly flowed in and diluted the gloomy atmosphere in the room.
The old man pulled the blanket off his head. He felt a little better when he saw that Huo Yao had not left. However, he still grumbled. "Why aren't you leaving?"
Huo Yao walked back to the bed. She did not bother to talk to him. Instead, she reached out and grabbed his wrist, which was outside the blanket.
"What are you doing?" The old man was startled by her sudden movement. He instinctively wanted to pull his hand back. However, when he met Huo Yao's eyes, he did not dare to resist.
He did not dare to say a word or move his hand.
The old man was quite depressed. He was actually a little afraid of this little girl.
Huo Yao withdrew her hand and said teasingly, "Flustered, chest tight, and weak. You're a classic case of acclimatization. Where did you come from, old man?"
Grandpa Sheng quickly put his hand back under the blanket. He didn't know if he was submissive to the water and soil, but … "How did you know that I was flustered, my chest tightened, and my whole body felt weak?"
Huo Yao glanced at him. "I will find out if I want to."
She was able to determine his physical condition just by pinching his hand. Seeing this, Old Master Shen suddenly widened his eyes. "You know how to take a pulse?"
"I know a lot of things, especially fists. Do you want to give it a try?" said Huo Yao airily as she clenched her fists.
The old man: "Yes."
Look, isn't this a blatant threat?
She was so good-looking, but why wasn't she cute at all!
Huo Yao chuckled softly when she noticed that the old man did not dare to speak. She turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Seeing that she had left just like that, the old man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He shouted at her back, "Hey, you heartless girl, don't you care about me?"
