Huo Yao raised her brow but did not reject the snacks. She took the boxes and thanked Yi Lianfan before she said, "I don't have time for the winter break, so I need to go back to my hometown."
Yi Lianfan smiled. "Okay. Let's go again if we have the chance."
"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. The car was already waiting outside the school gates. She said to Yi Lianfan, "I'm off."
"Sure," replied Yi Lianfan. He watched Huo Yao get into the car before he left.
Huo Yao placed the gift boxes on the backseat in the car. She opened the paper bag to reveal a slender wooden box.
It clearly did not look like it was for snacks.
Huo Yao's fingers paused for a moment before she took out the wooden box. She opened it to see a densely packed wild ginseng. Judging from its color and roots, it was at least a hundred years old. It was estimated to be worth between $800,000 and $1.2 million.
Huo Yao did not expect the Yi family to be so courteous and give her such an expensive herb.
Huo Yao closed the wooden box and took out her phone to send Yi Lianfan a thank-you message. She contemplated before she sent him another message: [Yi Lianfan, if you have any difficult questions in the future, feel free to look for me. I promise I'll teach you.]
Yi Lianfan was dumbfounded when he received the message: [Are... are you alright?]
After all, Huo Yao always looked annoyed whenever he came to look for her. It was strange for her to suddenly offer to teach him questions.
He felt as though his account had been hacked.
Huo Yao, who wanted to help each other for the first time, was speechless: [...]
Yi Lianfan: [???]
Huo Yao chuckled softly when she saw the question mark on the screen. Before the two minutes were up, she had already deleted the message that she was guaranteed to teach Huo Yao.
Yi Lianfan: [???]
Huo Yao put her phone away without replying.

Huo Yao went to her room to pack her luggage after dinner.
Since she was going to spend the new year with the Huo family, Huo Yao knew the old lady's temperament. She was afraid that the old lady would not want her to spend the new year with the Huo family, so she planned to spend a week with her.
After packing up her clothes, Huo Yao pondered for a moment before she placed the supreme-grade seven-leaf lotus herb into the box as well.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Huo Yao zipped up the suitcase, walked to the door, and opened it. "Brother Yulin, you haven't rested yet?"
Huo Yulin pursed his lips and said gently, "Do you mind bringing Yulin along tomorrow?"
Huo Yao was stunned to hear this.
"I want to see where you grew up." Huo Yulin smiled.
After returning to China, Huo Yao had taken care of him, so his complexion wasn't as pale as before. However, there was still an obvious difference between him and a normal person.
Huo Yao placed her hand on the door frame and pondered. It did not matter if there was an extra person. After all, the old lady enjoyed a lively atmosphere. She nodded instantly. "Can I still get tickets?"
Huo Yulin seemed to know that she would ask, so he took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to her.
Huo Yao glanced at the message and saw that it was dated ten days ago. Her lips twitched. Did this mean that he had planned to follow her back to her hometown?
Huo Yulin smiled when he saw the complicated look on his little sister's face. "Alright, go to bed. You're leaving early tomorrow morning."
He raised his hand to touch her head. A few seconds later, he withdrew his hand and went to his room next door.
Huo Yao went quiet.
