Not long after the three returned home, the Huo couple, who had gone to work, also came back. Knowing that the young couple had gone to school today, Huo's mother looked anxiously at Huo Tingxiao, who was waiting outside the yard.
I want to know if I've accomplished anything today.
Having weathered many storms, Huo's father didn't show his emotions as openly as Huo's mother, but his sharp and solemn gaze was still fixed on Huo Tingxiao.
Huo Tingxiao nodded slightly to them.
Huo Tingxiao was taken to the study. The family members came out of the study with grim faces, but when they noticed Wen Xingyue sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, they instantly suppressed all their emotions.
"Dinner's ready." Wang Ma placed the last dish on the table and called to the family.
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"
Wen Xingyue jumped off the sofa. The thing she looked forward to most every day was the meals cooked by Wang Ma. Wang Ma was a good cook and always praised her. She wanted to use all her skills to make Wen Xingyue happy.
"Xingyue, eat more. If there's anything you want to eat, just ask Wang Ma to make it."
Huo's mother reached out her chopsticks to put food on Wen Xingyue's plate, her voice gentle.
"Uh-huh."
Wen Xingyue ate the tender, juicy tiger-skin chicken feet with her mouth full of oil, nodding her head rapidly.
"Old Huo, do you think there's something wrong with our youngest son's inability to lose weight? We've tried everything—beating him, scolding him, and supervising his exercise every day—but he still can't lose weight. Is that abnormal?"
Mrs. Huo chatted casually.
Wen Xingyue paused in her munching on a chicken foot.
[Oh right, I also need to remind the pretty mom and the others what the little one looks like, but how can I do that without any reason? The pretty mom and the others don't know that the little chubby boy has been drugged.]
“Mom, Xiaopang might not be able to lose weight because there’s something wrong with his health. You could take him to the hospital for a checkup,” Wen Xingyue said, pondering what Huo’s mother had said.
[Little Fatty is getting fatter every day because he's been taking medication. A hospital checkup might reveal that he's been drugged. Then Pretty Mom and the others will know and can start investigating. I can then alert Pretty Mom and the others, and maybe we can catch that little bastard.]
Huo's mother and the others were also worried about how to get Wen Xingyue to remind them that Huo Tingjun had been drugged. Now that her thoughts had reached their ears, they immediately knew what to do.
This not only solved the problem of them knowing that Xiao Jun had been drugged, but also provided a way to find out the villain in a reasonable manner.
"Yes, Xingyue is right. Mom will take the day off tomorrow to take Xiaojun to the hospital for a check-up. Mom also feels that Xiaojun's health is a little abnormal."
Mrs. Huo agreed almost immediately.
In those days, no one would go to the hospital for a checkup just because they gained weight. They never even considered that their youngest son's weight gain might be a sign of a health problem. If Wen Xingyue hadn't said that their youngest son had been drugged, they would never have thought of this at all.
Huo Tingjun's ability to eat is simply attributed to his increased physical activity; it's normal for someone of his age to gain weight and be able to eat a lot.
...
Unexpectedly, we already have a general suspect on the first day. All we need to do is take Huo Tingjun to the hospital for a checkup to find out that Huo Tingjun was drugged. Then we can secretly have someone confirm the general suspect, and the problem can be solved.
The Huo family breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how to do this problem?"
After the family finished dinner, Huo Tingjun took out his homework and started writing at the table, while Wen Xingyue curled up on the sofa watching TV.
The two did not disturb each other.
As for Huo Tingxiao, after inquiring about things from Huo Tingjun, he went to the study to talk with his parents.
Huo Tingjun didn't hide his suspicions from his brothers. His own life was the most important thing, not to mention that it would eventually involve his family. Even though he didn't want to believe that his best friend would do something to hurt him, he didn't hide it.
Once the general candidates are known, it is necessary to arrange for someone to conduct an investigation.
Therefore, only Wen Xingyue and Huo Tingjun were alone together downstairs.
Huo Tingjun chewed on his pen, glancing at Wen Xingyue, who was curled up on the sofa, then at her again, before finally unable to resist taking his notebook and lingering beside her.
My sister-in-law is a peach blossom spirit. Fairies are all very smart, so she must be able to solve the problem, right?
"ah."
Wen Xingyue thought Xiao Pang was tired from writing, so she put a piece of apple in his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how to do this question?"
With an apple stuffed in his mouth and his cheeks slightly puffed out, Huo Tingjun held his homework up to Wen Xingyue and pointed to the questions he couldn't answer.
"??? What the heck?"
Wen Xingyue stared blankly at the math problem Huo Tingjun was pointing to.
What did Little Fatty want from her? Little Fatty actually asked her to do a math problem? How could a fairy like her do math problems? How could a tree like her understand math problems? Even if she had lived for thousands of years, all she saw in the secret realm were flowers, grass, or animals every day. She had never been in contact with anything from the human world, let alone done math problems from the human world.
Even though she came to the human world and inherited all the memories of her original soul, that soul was a poor student since childhood and never passed a test in elementary school. Now, when faced with a math question from Huo Tingjun, Wen Xingyue was completely dumbfounded.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how either?"
Wen Xingyue's innocent yet bewildered gaze made Huo Tingjun realize instantly that even a fairy couldn't solve a math problem.
Realizing this, Huo Tingjun was somewhat pleased. It seemed he wasn't too stupid; even his sister-in-law, being a vixen, wouldn't know.
Huo Tingjun is currently in the second grade. His family includes a father who is a high-ranking official, a mother who is a university professor, and an older brother who is an outstanding regimental commander. As a member of the family, he has always been a poor student, so he actually feels a lot of pressure.
Although his parents and brother told him to just do his best in his studies, how could he not care at all when everyone in his family was so outstanding?
Now that he knows even his formidable fairy sister-in-law can't solve the problem, Huo Tingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't know how, don't write it. Come watch TV with me. If you can't do your homework, let's put it aside, clear our minds, and rest before going back to it. If you really can't do it, go ask Pretty Mom. Pretty Mom will definitely know."
Wen Xingyue wasn't embarrassed at all that she had been exposed for not knowing how to do it. However, she frowned when she sensed Huo Tingjun's dejection and the human cub's displeasure.
"Sister-in-law, don't you think I'm useless? I can't even do a math problem."
Huo Tingjun spoke haltingly.
Many of the aunties said they couldn't compare to their eldest brother. Every time they saw themselves and thought of their eldest brother, they would shake their heads with regret when facing them.
Over time, he also felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could never compare to his older brother.
"If I don't know how, will you think I'm useless?"
Wen Xingyue didn't understand why Huo Tingjun would have this idea. Did he think that being unable to solve problems meant being useless?
