Huo Yanxi on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds after hearing the words, and said in a slow voice: "I have a few friends here, and there may be other arrangements in a while. It's convenient, why don't we make an appointment another day."
Hearing this, Huo Tingrui just said casually, "it's okay, I'm still driving, so I'll hang up first."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Tingrui regained his composure, turned his head to look at Huo Yao, didn't mention his elder brother at all, but said in a naughty way: "cute, have you decided where to go for dinner?"
cute
The corners of Huo Yao's lips twitched, his expression was inexplicably complicated, her second brother was a bit skinny.
"Forget it, let's go home, parents must be waiting." She shook her head and replied.
Huo Tingrui thought about it, but he didn't insist any more. After all, the celebration doesn't need to be crowded on this day. The day after tomorrow is fine.
In short, a sweet date with my sister must be arranged for a reason.

When Lu Xia returned to Lu's house, it was almost seven o'clock.
He Xiaoman had just arrived home for a while, she still held a glass of water in her hand, and looked at her daughter suspiciously, "Why did you come back so late today?"
"I'm delayed by something at school." Lu Xia was very annoyed, so she was a little absent-minded when speaking, and she didn't say that she had been to the hospital.
He Xiaoman didn't suspect him, and after sitting down on the sofa, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Did you get a result in that competition today?"
Lu Xia just put down the small bag, and when He Xiaoman asked, her eyes darkened a bit, "Well, it's out, with 186 points, ranking tenth in the country."
He Xiaoman frowned when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at her, "Didn't you rank sixth last time? Why did you rank tenth this time?"
Lu Xia seemed to have guessed that she would ask this question, so she replied calmly: "The initial test is different from the official preliminaries. There are more than 20 students, I can enter the top ten, and I have great hopes of entering the national finals."
Although He Xiaoman didn't understand this kind of competition, but she heard that among the more than 120 students, she was able to get into the top ten, which is indeed very good.
After all, she also knew that the participants in this competition were all top students from all over the country.
He Xiaoman's face softened a lot in an instant, "Mom didn't understand, and thought that your grades had regressed this time. Now it seems that my daughter is really outstanding."
Lu Xia lowered her eyes and did not make a sound. She just walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, slowly pressing the center of her eyebrows with her hand.
"By the way, how is that Huo Yao's grades?" He Xiaoman put down the water glass in his hand and asked casually.
Lu Xia's hands paused slightly, and she replied subconsciously: "I don't know about this, I haven't paid that much attention."
He Xiaoman thought of the embarrassment in front of the head of the doctor for adopting a daughter in the hospital, her eyes became cold, "Xia Xia, you are the pride of my mother, you must crush Huo Yao in every way, you know ?"
When Lu Xia heard the words, embarrassment flashed across her eyes. That country girl got first place in the exams these two times. How could she overwhelm her? What did she use to crush it
Tearing the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating manner, Lu Xia didn't say anything, but just gave a perfunctory 'hmm'.
He Xiaoman didn't notice Lu Xia's expression. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this? Mom will hire you a tutor during this time, so you can concentrate on reviewing."
