Huo Tingrui was holding a paper bag. When he spotted his little sister, he moved it behind him so that she could not see it. "Oh, I'm not going out. I'm just going for a walk."
Huo Yao looked puzzled. She glanced at his hand behind him before she said, "Okay. Go on."
She stepped aside to give way to him thoughtfully.
Huo Tingrui stood uncertainly where he was. He could not leave or stay. After all, he had not been planning on going for a walk.
Huo Yao could not help looking at him when he did not move. "Brother Tingrui?"
"I changed my mind about the walk," said Huo Tingrui as he turned back in.
Huo Yao: "…"
Huo Jinyan put down his teacup when he spotted his son coming back so soon. He asked perplexedly. "Didn't you say you wanted to visit our next-door neighbor?"
Huo Yao paused briefly as she walked behind Huo Tingrui. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the paper bag in his hands.
He was not going for a walk.
