Tong Yu noticed that Huo Xiang was finally reacting. It was as though he was used to Huo Xiang's rambunctious way of talking. He handed the glass of water to Huo Xiang and said solemnly, "Huo Xiang, how long are you going to give up on yourself?"
Huo Xiang stared at the ceiling. His gloomy eyes were instantly replaced by a pool of dead water. After a long time, he said bitterly, "It's like a death sentence for me if I can no longer stand on the stage."
"I'm as good as a cripple now. Do you understand?"
Tong Yu opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He understood how Huo Xiang was feeling.
Tong Yu had practically single-handedly groomed Huo Xiang. Huo Xiang was exceptionally talented in music production, singing, and dancing. It was as though he was born to be the king of the stage.
However, an accident had damaged his foundation. It was a fatal blow to a proud person like Huo Xiang.
"Huo Xiang, don't give up. Medicine is so advanced now. Someone is bound to be able to heal you." Tong Yu's throat felt dry. Apart from comforting Huo Xiang over and over again, there was nothing he could do to help him.
"Heh..." Huo Xiang merely chuckled before he shut his eyes. He turned his head away from Tong Yu and did not say a word.
Tong Yu smiled bitterly as he placed the glass of water on the cabinet beside him. He raised his head and composed himself before he headed for the door.
But he recalled what Huo Yao had said before he left the Huo residence. He could not help pausing in his tracks. He turned his head sideways and said softly, "Your little sister asked me to tell you that your mom went to the supermarket early in the morning to buy your favorite food."
A few seconds later, Tong Yu seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Huo Xiang, I don't want to help you lie to your parents like I did today... Also, I didn't tell your little sister that you weren't going home tonight... You can decide for yourself if you want to go home."
"I'm leaving."
The sound of the door closing came from the doorway.
The bedroom became very quiet at this moment. It was eerily quiet.
Huo Xiang opened his eyes with a complicated look on his face. He clenched his fists tightly before he pulled the blanket over in frustration and covered his head with it.
10 minutes later.
Huo Xiang yanked the blanket off and sat up. He cursed under his breath before he got out of bed.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Song Ning sat on the sofa. She looked at the clock on the wall and glanced at the door. Although she didn't say anything, it wasn't hard to tell that she was anxious.
Huo Yao was sitting next to her. She leaned against the couch lazily as she played with her phone.
"Yaoyao, you must be hungry. Why don't you go eat first?" said Song Ning as she turned to look at her obedient daughter.
Huo Yao put her phone away and said nonchalantly, "Maybe Brother Xiang is busy and won't be home tonight."
Song Ning smiled and shook her head. She looked confident. "Although Xiang is so busy that he doesn't go home all year round, he doesn't lie. His agent called yesterday and said that he was coming back, so he will definitely come back."
If her fourth older brother was really going to come back, he wouldn't have asked his manager to send him a gift.
Huo Yao looked calm. She wanted to say something, but when she saw how confident Song Ning was that her son would come back, she chose not to say anything in the end.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
"It must be Xiang." Song Ning quickly stood up and walked to the door.
