The WeChat notification on his phone never stopped ringing. However, every time he glanced at it, he would be disappointed and his heart would feel heavy.
Huo Yanxi inhaled deeply and tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his throat. Perhaps it was because of some reason that his heart had cracked open.
It could never be repaired.
Huo Yanxi wiped his face bitterly and put his phone down. The sound of firecrackers outside seemed to have faded away. Even with the heater in the room, he still felt inexplicably cold.
Huo Yanxi's WeChat beeped twice again. Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes. He knew he would be disappointed again, but he couldn't help picking up his phone anyway.
His fingers moved slightly to open WeChat. When he saw Huo Yao thanking him, the disappointment in his chest instantly disappeared. All the negative emotions he felt earlier disappeared along with her reply.
Huo Yanxi held his phone for a long time. His furrowed brows relaxed and he did not reply to her message.
Even though he knew that his little sister had replied out of politeness, it was the first time in the new year that he was happy about.

The Chinese New Year passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the second semester of Year 12.
There were 108 days left until the national college entrance examination.
Huo Yao's language scores had improved significantly in her first monthly test after returning to school. She had only scored a little over a hundred marks at the end of the previous semester, but she had scored almost twenty marks this time, especially in composition and comprehension.
The language teacher was especially pleased, so she found some previous years' test papers for Huo Yao to do.
Although Huo Yao complained that her head was too big, she still accepted the teacher's kindness and had a full schedule every day. Her face, which she had put on a lot of weight during the new year, was visibly thinner now that the national college entrance examination was approaching.
On the 30th day of the national college entrance examination, Huo Yao was called to the office by their homeroom teacher, Chen Yu.
"Huo Yao, the national college entrance examination is coming up soon. The school invited a few Tsing University seniors who graduated from No.1 Middle School to come back and give speeches to motivate the Year 12 students. Although you transferred to No.1 Middle School in your third year, your grades are obvious to everyone. You should prepare your speech well when you go back."
Chen Yu looked at Huo Yao and said gently.
Huo Yao blinked. "Me? Do I need to give a speech? "
Chen Yu nodded. "Yes, you're the student representative for this year. Good luck!"
"Can I say no?" replied Huo Yao after contemplating.
"Why?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment. "This is a rare opportunity. There will be a video, and it will be beneficial to you."
Chen Yu paused. She did not want Huo Yao to miss out on this opportunity, so she said, "If you find it difficult to write a speech, why don't you draft it first? I can help you edit it later."
Huo Yao went quiet for half a minute before she said, "That's not the reason."
"Then what's the reason?" Chen Yu was even more confused.
Huo Yao coughed dryly and said, "You gave me ten sets of test papers, but I haven't finished them yet."
Chen Yu: "..."
"Ms. Chen, look, I have to finish the test papers you gave me, prepare my speech, and take time to practice. If I end up getting stage fright and embarrass you, I will feel guilty," said Huo Yao as she analyzed the problem seriously.
