"Giving you a ride to school won't cost me much time." Huo Yanxi was feeling guilty that he had been prejudiced by his first impression about her. Hence, he insisted on giving her a ride.
Huo Yao had finished her meal. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Huo Yanxi. She was about to say 'yes' when he added the following words.
"Xiaxia is studying in No.1 Middle School as well. I promised her that I would give her a ride on the first day of school. You are not familiar with the school, yet. With the help of Xiaxia…"
Before he could finish, Huo Yao cut him off and spoke the next set of words, coldly, "No thanks. I can take care of myself."
Her words were followed by a cynical smile.
Then, she stood up and said to Song Ning and Huo Jinyan, "Mom, dad, I'll go to my room now."
Having said that, she left even before her parents nodded their approval.
