Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

When she came back, she went up to her room.
While walking past Huo Yanxi’s bedroom, someone pulled the door open all of a sudden, which startled Huo Yao.

Huo Yanxi was still in his pajamas.
Since he had just woken up, even his eyes were not fully open.
As soon as he opened his door, the sweaty Huo Yao leapt into his sight.
Instantly, he was fully awake.
“Where did you…”

Huo Yao had recovered from her astonishment and answered calmly.
“I just came back from jogging.”

This answer took Huo Yanxi aback.
After all, this was the weekend.
Most people would choose to sleep in.

After that, Huo Yao nodded to Huo Yanxi, politely and said, “I’m gonna go now.”

Huo Yanxi stared at her absent-mindedly as she stepped away.

Twenty minutes later.

Huo Yao had come down for breakfast.
She was enjoying her meal quietly, eating without haste.

Huo Yanxi sat across her.
Every now and then, he could cast a look at her.
He wanted to chat but failed to find a topic.
This was really awkward for him.

Maybe, Huo Yao could no longer endure his occasional gaze.
She put down her spoon and looked straight into his eyes.
“Do you have anything you want to say to me?”

Huo Yanxi cleared his throat.
All of a sudden, he remembered what Lu Xia said yesterday.
“I heard that you signed up for the National Quiz Contest.”

Huo Yao was baffled and asked.
“How do you know?”

“Lu Xia mentioned it yesterday.” Huo Yanxi didn’t think he needed to hide this.
So, he answered honestly.

Huo Yao raised her eyebrows and simply said, “Oh.”

She should have expected this.

“Why do you want to participate in this contest?” Huo Yanxi intended to add words like “the senior year is important and participating in this contest is a waste of time”, but he held back eventually.

Huo Yao giggled and answered with a question of her own.
“Have you said those words to Lu Xia? What did she say?”
