Chapter 8

The cold medicine that Housekeeper Zhang gave her was very effective. In addition to the effective cold medicine, Huo Wu had a healthy and strong body, so when she woke up the next day, her fever was gone.

Her head no longer felt dizzy, her body was relaxed, and she felt her strength returned. She really felt great.

As soon as the fever subsided, Huo Wu's stomach began to growl. Huo Wu had only eaten two bowls of porridge in over a day; her body had probably digested all of that already.

Now that she regained her energy, her stomach rumbled in protest.

Huo Wu slowly recalled the events from last night. At two in the morning, Huo Yusen awkwardly fed her porridge one spoonful at a time. Huo Wu can't help but burst out laughing recalling that scene.

Fortunately, Huo Yusen had already returned to his room to rest and was no longer here. Otherwise, his expression would turn as dark as the bottom of a pot if he found out what she was laughing at.

However, Huo Yusen's actions had greatly surprised Huo Wu.

It also seemed like the effect of acting coquettishly and spoiled was much better than what she expected.

Huo Wu inexplicably remembered a fairy tale she read when she was a child called——Little Pony Crossing the River.

A pony wanted to cross a river, but before he crossed, he asked a squirrel and a cattle whether the river was deep. The squirrel told him that the river was very deep. Many of its companions had drowned trying to cross the river. However, the old cattle told the pony that the river was shallow. The river didn't even go past the cattle's legs. The pony can only cross the river himself to gauge whether the river was either deep or shallow.

This principle can also be applied to interpersonal relationships.

One can't judge whether a person was good or bad just by listening to other people's one-sided words. Instead, they should interact with the person themselves before making their judgment.

Before Huo Yusen had taken care of her, Huo Wu had given up her plan on holding her older brother's thighs. She felt that Huo Yusen was too cold and distant. However, after he took care of her when she was sick, she somewhat changed her mind about him. 

When she recalled the helpless but patient expression on Huo Yusen's face as he fed her porridge, she couldn't help but think that he was cute.

Yes, he was somewhat adorable.

Huo Yusen should be the opposite of the word cute.

His facial features were pronounced, crew-cut hair, and the muscles on his body highlighted his masculinity. Coupled with a pair of slender, powerful, and long legs, he was simply walking eye candy. His body exudes unparalleled charm.

No one else had seen the adorable expression he had shown her last night.

While Huo Wu was immersed in her thoughts, Housekeeper Zhang knocked on the door and walked in. she glanced at Huo Wu, and asked with concern, "Has the fever subsided?"

Huo Wu was sitting on her bed. A beauty was the most beautiful when she had just woken up. Her long hair was like a waterfall as it fell around her waist messily. Her whole demeanor gave off the aura of a languid beauty.

Huo Wu nodded her head when she heard Housekeeper Zhang's words, "The fever is gone. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Housekeeper Zhang smiled in relief, "That's good."

Huo Wu put her hands on top of her pink blanket and asked, "Housekeeper Zhang, did my older brother wake up yet?"

"Yes. It seemed like the Eldest Young Master didn't sleep well last night. He had just gotten up."

Huo Wu finished drinking the porridge last night at 2:30 AM. She waited for her body to digest the food a little before she laid down on the bed again. Because she had slept a lot before, it took a while for her to fall back asleep again. 

Huo Yusen only left Huo Wu's room after she fell asleep.

By the time she fell asleep, it was already four or five in the morning. 

Right now, it was seven in the morning.

That meant that Huo Yusen had only slept for an hour or two today.

After Huo Wu realized this, she immediately pushed her blankets away, put on her slippers, and hurried to the bathroom.

As she hurried to the bathroom, she said to Housekeeper Zhang, "Auntie Zhang, please tell my brother to wait for me to have breakfast together."

Auntie Zhang sighed, "Don't worry, the Eldest Young Master will wait for you."

Huo Wu brushed her teeth and washed her face. She hurriedly headed downstairs and saw Huo Yusen sitting on the sofa working.

The golden sunlight streamed in from the window and on his face, softening his profile.

He was wearing a white button-down shirt and had his head lowered slightly.

Seeing such a beautiful scene, Huo Wu inexplicably thought of something.

If only time could stop right now…

Huo Wu walked forward a few steps and called out, "Brother."

Huo Yusen replied, "I'll be ready soon."

 After that, Huo Yusen paused before he looked up at her and asked, "Has your fever subsided?"

Huo Wu smiled sweetly and responded, "My fever is gone!"

Huo Yusen raised an eyebrow, "Do you feel better now?"

"Yep, I feel much better now!"

Huo Yusen returned his gaze to the laptop screen after their short conversation. He didn't make Huo Wu wait too long for him. After he spent five minutes dealing with some important matters, he got up from the sofa, sat opposite Huo Wu at the dining table, and prepared to eat.

The breakfast was much lighter this morning since Huo Wu had a fever last night. She had congee and pork, a century egg, and two side dishes.

The only meat she had this morning was the few slices of shredded pork in the congee.

However, Huo Wu was not a picky eater. She liked having a light breakfast.

Huo Yusen's breakfast was also very simple. However, his breakfast leaned towards the western style. Even so, his breakfast was very nutritious; there are fruits, dietary fiber, and milk. Huo Wu still preferred to have a Chinese style breakfast.

After she finished breakfast, Huo Wu should prepare to head to school.

When Huo Wu first transmigrated here, it was during the weekend. Two days had passed and today was now Monday. She still needed to attend classes as a senior.

Huo Wu had already pushed the agenda of entering the entertainment industry up her schedule, but she wasn't in too much of a hurry.

Once she participated in filming movies, she will not be able to spend as much time as she could with Huo Yusen. Huo Wu felt that the most important matter at the moment was to hold onto her brother's golden thighs first.

She still had one year left before the accident occurs, so she should have enough time.

So, she planned to delay joining the entertainment industry for now. 

When Huo Wu was about to head upstairs to get her school bag, Huo Yusen shouted at her lightly to wait.

The expression on his face was still as cold as ever, but there seemed to be other emotions stirring beneath that cold exterior. Huo Wu couldn't read his emotions and was a little confused as she asked, "Brother?"

Huo Yusen's deep and beautiful voice sounded, "A'Wu…has anything happened recently?"

Huo Yusen was unaccustomed to calling her "A'Wu". 

He had never called her name like this. If he recalled correctly, he had never used her name directly. When he talked to her, he always used the noun, "you". 

But recently, he was also trying to change himself a little bit.

After listening to Huo Wu call him "brother" so naturally each time, he suddenly felt that it wasn't a big deal if he used her nickname.

Despite his question, Huo Yusen had already learned everything that happened to Huo Wu at school recently from his assistant. 

She was isolated by all the other girls in her class and that Yu Xinxin was her only true friend. On Friday, she had a fight with a girl named Ye Yue.

Although he already knew about all these things, he still wanted to hear it directly from her.

Xiao Wang was right, he paid too little attention to her.

He didn't even know that she was fighting in school.

Was this the reason her temperament changed so much?

Huo Wu didn't know why Huo Yusen asked her this question. She blankly stared at him for a moment before she shook her head.

Huo Yusen frowned slightly. Could it be that she didn't want to tell him anything because she doesn't trust her older brother?

Huo Yusen sat down on the sofa and pointed at the empty seat next to him. He appeared like he was preparing to have a long talk with her.

The sunlight felt warm even though it was winter. But Huo Wu couldn't help but felt chills running down her spine. Her heart couldn't stop thumping in her chest because she didn't know what was happening.

She hadn't exposed anything, right?

However, she couldn't escape the situation right now. Huo Wu sat on the sofa obediently.

Huo Yusen supported his chin with one hand while his other hand was tapping rhythmically on the sofa arm. He appeared deep in thought.

He never felt that interacting with people was difficult until right now.

Thanks to his outstanding family background, and his excellent qualifications, most people took the initiative to fawn over him. 

He was able to interact skillfully and easily with anyone.

But now that he was facing his sister, he felt a headache for the first time.

He had spent very little time with her.

In the past, he had never performed his duties as an older brother.

Huo Yusen didn't mention the events that happened to her in school. Instead, he tried to ease into a conversation by starting with something simple.

"Why did you go to a cafe alone to drink coffee?"

As soon as Huo Yusen asked that question, Huo Wu immediately stiffened.

She never imagined that Huo Yusen would actually know that she went out to a cafe yesterday.

Did he see her talk to the couple that were sweeping the ground?

Huo Wu's head pounded against her chest; she was almost unable to breathe.

She thought about it carefully and sighed in relief when she realized that she hadn't overstepped her boundaries or did anything suspicious.

She was only overreacting because of his guilty conscience.

In fact, visiting a cafe or talking to an elderly couple was not a big deal.

Even if she was seen talking to an elderly couple, it may be because she was asking them for directions or other things. It was not something strange or suspicious.

She had a guilty conscience because she was afraid of being discovered by Huo Yusen.

Huo Wu's hands were twisted together, her hands were cold and sweaty, and she lowered her eyes. The eyelashes that were as long as the butterfly wings were flying fast, and they looked a little uneasy.

However, Huo's panic and uneasiness, falling in the eyes of Huo Yusen, seemed different.

He sighed indifferently. "If you want to transfer, you can do it any time."

When Hou Wu heard this sentence, her brain turned sharply and suddenly thought of an important thing.

The original host looks were superior and were wooed by many boys.

However, her character was too arrogant, so her reputation in school was not good.

From the first year of high school, because of her excellent looks, girls in her class were wary of her.

If it weren't because she was Huo Yuan's daughter, she would have been subject to school violence because of this beautiful face.

However, she was enrolled in a private high school. In addition to her, there were many rich second generations and second generation officials.

Among them, there was Ye Yue, who is an official second generation.

Ye Yue's reputation was better. So she set up a small group of girls to isolate her.

Therefore, although the original body is a little princess, but in school, she was not happy.

Huo Wou didn't know if she had inherited the memory of the original body, but when she thought about these, her eyes were slightly sour.

Her heart was floating up a feeling called grievances.

Huo Wou clearly knew that this is an excellent opportunity.

A sympathy for a privilege and an excellent opportunity to care.

She must hold it.

Thinking about it, Huo Wu raised her head slightly, her tears fell down her cheeks, and she looked a little pitiful.

She blinked softly, and because of this movement, her teardrops inevitably hang on her eyelashes.

Huo Wu's beautiful eyes looked at Huo Yusen and whispered, "Brother, didn't you ask me why I drink coffee alone? Well, I will tell you why."

After that, Huo Wu's eyelashes trembled gently, her hands clasped together, as if she had made up her mind, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and said, "Because i have only few friends in school but I don't want to come home, because my home is empty, father isn't here, nor you and I'm always alone!"

Huo Wu's nose was red, and at this time, her eyes were overflowed with drops of crystal tears.

Even Huo Wu's own points were unclear. The tears that are falling now were more of a mixture of an act, or real feelings.

At this moment, she was not the 18-line star who had been playing in the entertainment industry for a few years. She was only a 17-year-old girl who was isolated by her classmates and needed someone.

A tear fell down her cheek.

Huo Yusen clearly heard her tremble and said, "Brother, do you know? Actually... I am lonely."

Her voice was so light that it was inaudible, but it was like a thunder rumbling in his ear.
