Shortly after Huo Yao got back from the hospital, Huo Yanxi suddenly arrived home.
It had been days since Huo Yanxi parted with his younger sister on a bad note. Although he was no longer angry, he felt unhappy inside, so he behaved indifferently when he saw her.
“Didn’t Xiang come home yesterday?” asked Huo Yanxi as he looked around the living room and asked Song Ning while she was cooking in the kitchen.
Song Ning looked at him quizzically and said, “He told us that he had to fly to City B to film a MV. Did you come home looking for him? Since you’re here, why don’t you have lunch before you leave?”
Huo Yanxi replied with a shake of his head. “Mhm. It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen him in a while and thought he would be resting at home for some time.”
“I called you yesterday, but you missed it because you were busy I guess.” Song Ning responded angrily.
Huo Yanxi coughed in an uneasy manner.
“Have you eaten though? Lunch will be ready soon. You can chat with your younger sister in the living room in the meanwhile.”
Song Ning paused before she added. “Watch your temper. Yaoyao is your biological sister, so don’t be harsh and judgmental towards her.”
Huo Yanxi wanted to refuse staying back, but he swallowed his words after hearing his mother’s last sentence.
Huo Yao was sitting cross-legged on the couch and seemed completely engrossed in reading a book. When Huo Yanxi sat down besides her, she did not even seem to notice him.
Huo Yanxi’s eyes turned dim. He assumed that she was deliberately ignoring him, so he did not talk to her, either. Instead, he picked up the TV’s remote control.
The sound of the television playing broke the silence in the living room quickly.
Huo Yao glanced up briefly before going back to her reading. She was clearly unaffected by the outside world.
Huo Yanxi did not intend to watch television. Despite Song Ning’s insistence on showing some patience towards his sister, he was incapable of giving in and talking to her, so he kept changing channels aimlessly.
Neither of them noticed what was airing on the television.
Suddenly, a variety show on the Mango Station caught Huo Yanxi’s attention. It was because Lu Xia was on television.
Lu Xia specialized in both singing and dancing. She was very lively when she performed and was the mainstay of the girls’ group. The camera stayed on her almost for the entire time throughout the program. She seemed to glow like a natural celebrity.
Even Huo Yanxi, who did not usually watch variety shows, could not help feeling impressed at her talented performance. Lu Xia was bound to become a hit in due time.
After the performance ended, the host moved onto other segments of the show. Since Lu Xia was the most popular member of her group, the host naturally interviewed her for longer.
“My lovely Xiaxia, what do you like to do in your free time other than train?” asked the host.
Lu Xia smiled sweetly with her exquisitely made-up face on the television and replied politely. “Other than training, I spend most of my time studying. After all, I’m still in my senior year.”
“Haha, doesn’t everyone just adore Xiaxia for being so diligent?” said the host as she teased Lu Xia on camera.
The host briefly paused before she smiled and asked her further. “I heard you signed up for the National Quiz Contest and ranked 6th in the country in the preliminary test. How do you feel about that, Xiaxia? Would you like to share with us what motivates you?”
