Old Master Huo's eyes lit up immediately: "You have a new prescription?!"
"It's not exactly a new prescription; it's an older one. I noticed the treatment wasn't very effective, so I made some improvements. Please see if you can use it."
Grandpa Huo quickly picked it up to examine it, nodding as he looked: "...Hmm...Forsythia is indeed better than gentian...And this..."
After studying it for a while, Old Master Huo couldn't sit still any longer: "No, I have to go and discuss this with those old men right away."
With that, Old Master Huo packed up the prescription, grabbed Yun Qi, and hurriedly left the study, instructing the butler to contact the old men to go to the laboratory together. Then he called over Huo Chen: "Take good care of Qi Qi, I have to go to the laboratory. You brat, make sure Qi Qi is well taken care of, you hear me?"
"Okay, Grandpa."
Before leaving, Grandpa Huo reminded Yunqi, "Qiqi, don't rush off later, wait for me to come back."
"Okay, Grandpa Huo."
Seeing Old Master Huo leave in such a hurry, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.
The two played games together in Huo Chen's study for a while. Unexpectedly, there were two game pods in Huo Chen's study. Huo Chen said that his cousin occasionally came over to play with him, so he prepared an extra one.
When it was time for dinner, Grandpa Huo still hadn't returned. They called him, and he told them to eat first and not to wait for him, that he would be back soon. So the two of them ate dinner together.
"Want to go for a walk to digest your food?"
"Let's take a walk around the neighborhood then."
"Um."
Yun Qi had visited the Huo family several times before, always at the invitation of Old Master Huo. The Huo family lived in a military compound in S City, with soldiers standing guard at the gate. Without Old Master Huo's escort, Yun Qi wouldn't have been able to enter. The environment and security here were far superior to those in Yujing Huating; one could say that everyone living here was an extraordinary person.
Surprisingly, quite a few people came out for a walk in the evening. Several people greeted me and asked who Yunqi was.
When Huo Chen said he was his friend, they all looked at him with amusement, as if they knew what was going on but didn't say anything.
I ran into an elderly couple.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, it's been so long! Out for a walk?"
"Yes, we just finished dinner and came out for a walk. Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, you're out for a stroll too."
"Yes, yes, this is... your girlfriend? She's really cute."
Huo Chen blushed: "No, we're just friends."
Yunqi: "Hello Grandpa and Grandma, I am Yunqi. I am not Huo Chen's girlfriend. Please don't misunderstand. If this causes Huo Chen to be unable to find a girlfriend, then it would be my fault."
"Yunqi? Whose child are you? How old are you? What kind of boy do you like? There are many boys in our compound. Grandma can help you find one."
"I……"
"We have to go now, goodbye Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao." Huo Chen pulled Yun Qi away quickly.
Back at the Huo family home, Huo Chen was somewhat absent-minded.
"Huo Chen, what's wrong?"
Huo Chen snapped out of his daze: "Ah, I'm fine."
"It's getting late, I have to go back now. If Grandpa Huo needs anything, please contact me then."
"Yes, Grandpa always gets so busy in the lab that he forgets the time. I'll tell the housekeeper, and then we'll head out. I'm going back anyway, so I'll see you off."
"good."
