Chapter 154 Your Express Delivery
Lu Xia didn't expect He Xiaoman to ask about the competition again. After a moment's pause, she replied, "...It seems I advanced."
He Xiaoman frowned when she heard this, "She didn't even get rejected for that grade?"
Lu Xia was silent for two seconds, then said, "Actually, I told you last time that her grades weren't that bad."
He Xiaoman had a vague impression of it, but she didn't take it seriously. She just said, "The next competition is coming soon, right? Take a good look at the information your father's friend from the Literature Association gave you."
Lu Xia lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I will. I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay, go ahead." He Xiaoman waved her hand.

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan have been busy renovating their villa these past two days. They basically go out early and come back late. Fearing that they would not be able to take care of their daughter, they hired an hourly worker to cook for Huo Yao at home.
That day, Huo Yao had just returned home from school.
Auntie had already prepared the meal. Seeing her come back, she took off her apron and said, "Yaoyao, I have something urgent to do at home, so I'm leaving first. By the way, I received a package for you this afternoon and put it in the locker."
As she spoke, she pointed at the cabinet, and then left in a hurry without waiting for Huo Yao to say anything.
Huo Yao calmly put down the bag and glanced at the locker, but he didn't rush to open it immediately.
Turning back to look at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Huo Yao took out his cell phone and called his second brother Huo.
This person has been going home for dinner every day recently, and usually arrives home at this time.
Soon, the call was connected, and Huo Tingrui's voice came first, "Little sister, my second brother will not be back for dinner tonight. He has something to do and needs to go on a business trip for a few days."
Huo Yao heard some anxiety in Huo Tingrui's voice, frowned, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Huo Tingrui on the other end was stunned. He didn't seem to expect his sister to ask this. His eyes dimmed, and he just said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry."
The airport staff was urging them to board the plane. Huo Tingrui hurriedly said, "My second brother is about to board the plane. I'll hang up first and contact you later."
Huo Yao frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He just hummed and said, "If you need any help, remember to tell me."
Huo Tingrui smiled and didn't take it to heart, "Okay."
Soon, he hung up the phone.
The airport notification that just came over the phone seems to be going to Country M?
Huo Yao thought for a long time before putting down his phone.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan came back earlier than usual today. As soon as Huo Yao sat down to eat, the two men opened the door and walked in.
They were still discussing the decoration issues as they walked, but when they were about to reach their daughter, they both stopped talking.
Huo Yao looked at the two of them suspiciously, "You..."
Song Ning replied with a smile: "We have already eaten."
Father Huo: “Yes!”
Huo Yao: “…”
Song Ning threw the bag in her hand onto the cabinet and looked around the hall. "Hey, your second brother hasn't come home yet?"
That guy has been going home on time to accompany his sister these days, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly disappeared.
"He had to go on a business trip for something urgent." Huo Yao said simply, but did not mention what he heard on the phone about the possibility of going abroad.
"On a business trip again..." Song Ning murmured, but there was not much surprise on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to his frequent business trips.
