Chapter 242: This Was Not The Outcome He Had Imagined!

Huo Yao touched her nose before she raised her head and looked at Huo Xiang. He seemed to be on the brink of a collapse. Although he looked silly, he was...
Huo Yao: [Isn’t it obvious that he’s my brother?]
Huo Yao and Huo Xiang resembled each other the most in the entire Huo family. No one would have any doubt that they were siblings when they stood side by side.
Meng Ying chuckled: [If he were really your biological brother, why didn’t you know he’s the immensely popular top singer, Lucky?]
Lucky?
From the sound of her message, Huo Xiang was a remarkable singer.
Huo Yao held her phone quietly for two minutes. She tilted her head and suddenly shouted loudly. “Lucky.”
Huo Xiang s.h.i.+vered inexplicably when he heard Huo Yao call out that name. He instinctively said, “Yaoyao?”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She replied to Meng Ying: [I just wanted to test if you were my brother’s fan or not.]
Meng Ying: [...]
Medicine Pill: [Oh yes. How much is one of his pics worth?]
Meng Ying: [???]
Huo Yao must be some monster. Would an average human say such things?
Huo Yao stopped chatting with Meng Ying and opened the internet browser. She searched for ‘Lucky’. In an instant, loads of search results popped up.
No, correction.
All the search results were about her fourth older brother.
No wonder Huo Yao was unable to find Huo Xiang online when she first searched for him. It turned out he was using a stage name.
Huo Xiang was standing right in front of her, so he saw the search results. He suddenly puffed his chest out as a surge of pride arose in him.
Huo Yao quickly put away her phone. She looked at Huo Xiang, who was waiting for her to say something. She lowered her eyes and said helplessly, “Put on your slippers. The floor is cold.”
Huo Xiang: “...”
This was not the outcome he had imagined!

Time went by swiftly. Before long, it was the day before the National Quiz Contest finals.
The heats were scheduled for Sat.u.r.day, while the finals were going to take place on Sunday. All the No.1 Middle School students, who made it into the nationals, were sent to the airport by the school on Friday afternoon.
Since the flight was at 3:00 pm, they arrived at the airport at around 2:00 pm and sat in the waiting area after going through the security check.
Huo Yao sat in the furthest corner on her own. She tended to be unsociable. Since she was addicted to music lately, she had been wearing her earphones ever since she left school.
Very few people from the Experimental Cla.s.s had signed up for the National Quiz Contest, and only two contestants from her cla.s.s qualified after all the elimination rounds. One of them was Huo Yao, while the other was the study committee member.
The study committee member was a shy boy, so each time he attempted to talk to Huo Yao, he would feel a great deal of pressure. Eventually, he gave up.
The same thing happened to the other students. However, no one found her arrogant. Instead, they felt that this was simply the way elite students should behave.
But Yi Lianfan was not intimidated by her.
“Why are you reading an English book?” asked Yi Lianfan. He saw the book without any Chinese annotations on Huo Yao’s lap, when he sat down beside her.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Since the music’s volume was not very loud, she could clearly hear Yi Lianfan’s voice when he spoke to her. She removed an earphone before raising her head. “I signed up for the English oral compet.i.tion.”
Yi Lianfan’s brow arched up inexplicably. “Why did you sign up for a dumb compet.i.tion like that?”
Was it not more interesting to work on Physics and Chemistry?
“Dumb? I think it’s okay since it comes with a $100,000 scholars.h.i.+p,” said Huo Yao seriously.
