Chapter 113 The Unfathomable Second Brother
Although Huo Tingrui is the most gentle and good-tempered of the Huo brothers, he is actually the most difficult and sharpest one among them.
He can smile at you, but you never know what he is thinking. Even though she has been his sister for more than ten years, she has never seen through him.
But looking at his attitude towards Huo Yao just now, it was obvious that they were closer to each other than when she was his sister.
She didn't understand why she and Huo Tingrui, who had been brother and sister for more than ten years, could not compete with Huo Yao, who had only been back for a month.
Lu Xia felt very uncomfortable, and for a moment she didn't know where her stubbornness came from. She didn't let the driver take her away, but just sat quietly in the car.
She kept looking out the car window, looking at the hospital gate, until her hands and feet were numb and her body was cold, until she saw Huo Yao and Huo Tingrui walk out of the hospital again, get into the car together, and leave.
"Miss, that car has already left. Do you want to follow it?" The driver turned his head and looked at Lu Xia who was sitting in the back seat.
Lu Xia closed her sore eyes, and there was no expression on her face. After a long while, she said calmly, "No need, let's go home."

In the car.
"The international trophy you just mentioned? What's going on?" Huo Tingrui pushed his glasses and turned his head to look at his sister in the co-pilot seat with a little confusion.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, leaned his head lazily against the car window, looked at him with bright eyes, "The top five in the finals of the National Knowledge Competition will represent the country to participate in the international competition."
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingrui fell into a mysterious silence.
Is his sister smart enough to go beyond the borders?
Coming back to his senses, Huo Tingrui asked in a complicated way: "Are you so confident?"
Huo Yao tilted his head, "How difficult is this? Isn't it just doing a test?"
This answer is simply... too suffocating.
Huo Tingrui choked, feeling that his IQ had been fatally crushed.
After a while, he gave a shy blessing: "Good luck! When the time comes, just let me feel the trophy to see how it feels."
The corners of Huo Yao's lips twitched and he uttered a soft "hmm".
Huo Tingrui thought of something and said hurriedly, "by the way, my second brother went to check your competition results today. You got first place. Just tell me what you want to eat. I will celebrate for you tonight."
Huo Yao shook her head and was about to say no when Huo Tingrui's cell phone rang, so she closed her mouth again.
The phone was connected to the Bluetooth in the car. Huo Tingrui glanced at the caller ID and quickly pressed the answer button on the steering wheel. "Hello, brother, what do you want from me?"
Because it was hands-free, Huo Yao could also hear Huo Yanxi's voice when it came over.
Huo Yao didn't react much and just looked out the car window.
"I heard that you're back from a business trip. Where are you now? Do you want to come out for a drink?" Huo Yanxi's voice was quite gentle.
Huo Tingrui lowered his head, looked around at the streets on both sides, and said, "my sister and I are now looking for a place to eat. Do you want to come? We can come together."
"Are you with Xia Xia?" Huo Yanxi asked almost subconsciously.
Huo Tingrui frowned. Has his elder brother not yet recovered from the fact that Lu Xia is not his biological sister?
After a pause, he replied, "No."
Then, Huo Tingrui looked up at his sister next to him, and added in a low voice, "It's Yaoyao."
