Huo Tingrui kept putting food into Huo Yao's bowl and peeled the shells of the seafood. He looked very gentlemanly.
"Oh yes. Which school is Yaoyao studying at?" asked Huo Tingrui after he placed a peeled prawn into Huo Yao's bowl.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at him before she replied unhurriedly. "No.1 Middle School."
Huo Tingrui was surprised to hear this. "That's great. I missed out on No.1 Middle School by two points. I still feel sorry about it," said Huo Tingrui with a sigh.
"You played games all night before the midterms. You asked for it. You don't deserve any sympathy," said Song Ning bluntly.
Huo Tingrui coughed to hide the awkwardness and muttered. "Everyone has their moments when they're young and frivolous."
"Heh. You're the one with the most excuses. Look at how obedient and hardworking your little sister is. She scored full marks in the National Quiz Contest. She's so much better than you guys."
Song Ning could not help smiling at the mention of her daughter's results.
"Is that so?" Huo Tingrui could not conceal the shock on his face.
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? Yaoyao just finished the city quiz this morning. The results will be out tomorrow. You can check it out then." Song Ning snorted.
Huo Tingrui turned to look at Huo Yao. He felt a little hurt. "I heard about this quiz when I was still in school. It's held every two years. Top students from all over the country take part in it. Yaoyao scored full marks in the preliminary quiz..."
Wasn't this a little too abnormal?!
Huo Yao met Huo Tingrui's complicated gaze. She pursed her lips into an obedient smile and replied in a rather annoying manner. "It's nothing."
Huo Tingrui: "!!!"
Ahhh! He felt that he was no longer the smartest kid in the family.

Huo Yao prepared to return to school after lunch. Huo Jinyan was supposed to drive her, but Huo Tingrui took over.
In the car, Huo Tingrui turned to look at his little sister sitting in the front passenger seat from time to time. He could not help sighing in his heart. They were both born to the same parents, so why were they so different?
Huo Yao sensed his gaze on her and tilted her head. A strand of hair fell over her shoulder, making her look even more playful. Her eyes were clear and filled with doubt. "Brother Tingrui?"
Huo Tingrui coughed. "I was thinking that I should visit the person who nurtured my little sister into such an outstanding person."
He had a rough understanding of his biological sister's situation. He knew that she didn't grow up in the Lu Family, but with her grandmother in the countryside. Therefore, he was suddenly curious about her grandmother.
Huo Yao did not expect him to bring this up. She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask the old lady when I have time."
"Uh huh," replied Huo Tingrui without saying a word.
Not long after, the car arrived at the school.
"Brother Tingrui, I'm going in," said Huo Yao as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
Huo Tingrui pressed his forehead and replied softly. "Okay."
Huo Yao noticed that he had been subconsciously doing this along the way, so she could not help asking him. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Huo Tingrui raised his head. He was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and smiled. "It's an occupational disease. That's what happens when I overuse my mind."
