Huo Yao tilted her head sideways when she sensed his gaze. "Brother Tingrui?"
Huo Tingrui snorted and turned his head away proudly.
Huo Yao: "?"
Song Ning looked at her second son and shook her head. Wasn't it tiring for him to do this every time?
"Oh yes. Is Yanxi up yet?" asked Huo Jinyan as he raised his head.
"I don't think so. He threw up so much last night and must be feeling terrible," said Huo Tingrui slowly as he took a sip of coffee.
Huo Yao did not say anything. She continued to eat quietly.
Huo Jinyan nodded. "Go and see him later."
"Okay," replied Huo Tingrui.
Before long, Huo Yao went to school.
Huo Yanxi came downstairs shortly after Huo Yao left the house as though he was trying to avoid her.
Huo Yanxi was not in a good mood today because he had been drinking and did not rest well.
Song Ning handed him a glass of milk and could not help grumbling. "Don't drink so much next time."
Huo Yanxi held the glass and pursed his lips. "Uh huh." Then he lowered his eyes and drank the milk. There was no taste in his mouth at all.
Huo Tingrui frowned when he saw him like this. "Have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"
Huo Yanxi raised his head and replied absentmindedly. "It's not that bad." He paused and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He looked around and asked casually. "Where's Dad?"
"Oh. He took Yaoyao to school," replied Song Ning.
Huo Yanxi clenched his fists and acknowledged her gently before he lowered his head again.
He recalled how Huo Yulin's eyes instantly turned cold when she came out of Huo Yulin's room in the morning. He felt inexplicably stifled.
Huo Yulin had just come home.
Huo Yanxi put down his glass and stood up. "I'm going to the office now."
Without waiting for a reply, he pulled out his chair and headed out. His back view made him look like he was fleeing.
"Yanxi..." Song Ning looked at the door in a daze.
Huo Tingrui adjusted his spectacles and veered his eyes. "It's awkward."
Song Ning fell silent.
Huo Tingrui finished his breakfast and was about to leave for work. Suddenly, Song Ning recalled something and patted her forehead.
Huo Tingrui looked at her quizzically. "Mom?"
"Oh, I almost forgot something important. I have a friend who needs some legal advice. Can you come back earlier tonight?" Song Ning said hurriedly.
Huo Tingrui narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Can't you just send him to my law firm?"
Come to my house?
This was a little strange.
Song Ning glared at him. "I told you we are friends. Maybe it's a special question."
"What's wrong with going to my office..." Huo Tingrui saw his mother glaring at him, so he hurriedly changed his words. "... Fine, fine. I got it."
There were two bullies in the family. Provoking either one of them would result in a double beating in the end.
He couldn't afford to offend him, but he could afford to be a coward.
Song Ning's expression softened a little. She waved her hand at him, indicating that he could leave.

It was already four o 'clock in the afternoon when Huo Yulin woke up. The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, so the room was dark.
He lay quietly on the bed for a few minutes before he lifted the blanket and sat up. He felt much better now.
Huo Yulin massaged his shoulders before he walked up to the window and drew the curtains. The bright light instantly drove away the darkness in the room.
