Huo Yao smiled and nodded at Huo Yulin obediently. "Thank you for the present, Brother Yulin."
Huo Yulin pursed his lips when he noticed that his little sister was genuinely happy. He raised his hand and stroked her head. "You don't have to thank me. We're family."
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao softly. She bent down dejectedly and lifted the box that weighed dozens of kilograms before heading upstairs.
Despite her dejection, she did not seem to be struggling as she carried the box.
Huo Yulin was speechless. "..."
Was this something his skinny little sister could do???
With so many books, even for him, it would be strenuous to carry them all, right?
Huo Yulin stood rooted to the ground. He felt that this scene was too surreal.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
This year's Lunar New Year was the happiest year for the Huo family.
Huo Tingrui, who had not been home for a few years, was back with his biological daughter. Song Ning and Huo Jinyan looked at their children during the reunion dinner. Song Ning's eyes turned slightly red when she spoke.
The Huo family did not have the habit of staying up late on New Year's Eve. In the past, everyone would watch the Spring Festival Gala before returning to their rooms. However, it was different this year. No one went to their rooms first.
They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.
Huo Xiang had been invited to CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, but he had rejected it.
This was the first time he was celebrating Chinese New Year with his little sister. Even if he missed the show, he could still do it next year. However, it would be a pity if he missed the reunion with his little sister.
The siblings were close in age. Since Huo Xiang could not get rid of the 'little princess' label from his fans, he decided to give up on his public image.
The two of them were curled up on the couch playing video games with their legs crossed.
Huo Tingrui looked at the two of them, especially his little brother. He rolled his eyes and said to his father, "Dad, control your son. Don't be a bad influence on his little sister. She's always playing games."
Huo Jinyan glanced at Huo Tingrui and snorted. "He's your little brother. Why don't you control him?"
Huo Tingrui went speechless.
'Is this how you kick the ball?
Why don't you use the same trick you used on me? '
Huo Jinyan ignored him and continued to eat sunflower seeds and watch the New Year's Gala.
Huo Yulin went out to answer the call, so Huo Yanxi, who was sitting furthest away from them, looked at them enviously.
However, he only took a few glances before lowering his head. He didn't watch the TV, nor did he take out his phone.
Huo Tingrui glanced at him and sighed slightly. Then he got up and sat down next to the old man. "Still can't get through?"
Huo Yanxi was taken aback by Huo Tingrui's words. He shook his head without saying a word.
Huo Tingrui did not know how to comfort him. After all, Huo Tingrui had said a lot earlier, but Huo Tingrui could not seem to get over it. Huo Tingrui could only pat Huo Tingrui's shoulder in encouragement.
Huo Yao played two more rounds with Huo Xiang before stopping. "I'm going to call the old lady," said Huo Yao as she turned off the game.
Huo Xiang nodded. "Send my regards to Grandma."
Huo Yao stood up and waved her hand at Huo Xiang before heading into the garden.
There was a swing in the garden. Huo Yao put on her coat and sat on it. She spoke to the old lady for about half an hour before she hung up. She did not return to the living room right away. Instead, she leaned against the swing lazily and swung her legs gently. She tapped on WeChat.
There was a red dot under her contact list, indicating that someone had requested to add her as a friend.
