Huo Xiang turned to look at Huo Yanxi but failed to detect anything amiss on the latter's face.
He said proudly, "Brother Yanxi, you might not know this, but Yaoyao is taking part in the National Quiz Contest. She has stood first in every level of the contest till now and is bound to win that spot in Tsing University."
Huo Yanxi looked down but his younger brother's words kept echoing in his ear. After a long time, he finally gathered his thoughts and said, "Really? Congrats, Yao."
His voice clearly sounded distracted.
Huo Yao probably did not hear him since she did not answer. She had curled up lazily on the couch and was fully immersed in the online game on her phone.
The atmosphere instantly became very quiet.
Huo Yanxi was incapable of keeping this up. He stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered I have some work waiting for me."
