"Go ahead."

Huo Ningxi leaned back stubbornly, squinting his eyes.

"Even if you hit me, I will still go with you."

Song Yaoyao: "..."

She held her backpack and shuffled a little to the side, then a little more to get far away from Huo Ningxi.

"Brother Wei, let's go. Stop wasting time here," he said to Wei Ning who was standing there blankly.

"Then, he..." Wei Ning pointed at Huo Ningxi helplessly.

Song Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks coldly.

"Just treat him like thin air."

The car started and gradually left the school.

Huo Ningxi crossed his legs calmly. "Can air be as handsome as I am?"

If this was in the past, Song Yaoyao would have responded to these cold and sarcastic words with a good beating.

But Huo Ningxi was strange lately. He had become so shameless that Song Yaoyao didn't know what to do with him.

"Huo Ningxi, what the hell do you want?"

Huo Ningxi did not reply. Pointing at Wei Ning, he asked, "Who is this punk?"

Wei Ning: "..." He tried to focus on driving but his heart began to wonder: which rascal was Elder Huo actually referring to?

Was he actually talking about Huo Ningxi? Were these two having a lover's tiff?

But judging by the look in Song Yaoyao's eyes, there did not appear to be any love for Huo Ningxi.

Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Holding onto her phone, she looked out the window and decided to chat to Huo Yunque.

But that guy didn't use WeChat. How unbelievable! Huo Yunque's account was newly registered and there wasn't even a profile photo; just the default one.

Song Yaoyao thought to herself quietly. Wouldn't it be great if her Gege changed his profile photo to a picture of her?

She had never dated before, but didn't couples like using couple profile photos? She wanted that too~!

It's Yaoyao: Gege, are you still busy? [Heart]

It's Yaoyao: When are you coming back? Don't work too late or my heart will hurt!

It's Yaoyao: If you're busy, it's fine to not reply. I simply miss you~

It's Yaoyao: [HugsAndKisses]

...

Huo Ningxi crossed his arms and his gaze subconsciously drifted toward the phone in Song Yaoyao's hands.

When he saw her message, he couldn't help but press his lips together and look away in annoyance.

The Weis lived in a freestanding villa. It wasn't too big and it was quite cozy.

There were plants around the garden, but they didn't seem to very well maintained.

Wei Ning explained, "This is my mother's home. She designed it herself. She likes growing flowers, but ever since her illness worsened, she hasn't had the energy to maintain them."

The truth was, he really wanted his mother to recover. Even if it meant exchanging his own health, he was willing.

Huo Ningxi furrowed his brows and followed behind as he began to understand the motive of this visit.

"Why isn't she at the hospital?" he asked.

"The hospital said she was incurable." Wei Ning shook his head. "I've had people from local and international hospitals visit, but they've all said that there's nothing they can do..."

Thus, his mother's last wish was to return to this home and die here.

Knowing this, Wei Ning ignored the advice of the hospital and brought his mother back to this villa.

This was the place where he had grown up. Every corner contained memories of him and his mother.

"My mother lives on the second floor. Come with me."

Huo Ningxi shook his head. "I'll wait for you guys down here."

At a time like this, he was of no help.

Wei Ning smiled at Huo Ningxi. "Auntie Liu! Pour some water for our guest. Young Master Huo, drink whatever you like, we have plenty of beverages in the refrigerator. You can ask Auntie Liu to get it for you. Please excuse me."
