Huo Yulin walked in from outside with Huo Tingrui’s food in his hands. After placing it on the small table, he carried the table to the bedside. When he went past Huo Yao, he glanced at her laptop screen. She happened to turn off Cloud Realm’s webpage at the time.
Huo Yao raised her head and greeted her third older brother. She turned off the laptop, closed it, and put it aside.
Huo Yulin acknowledged her softly. He veered his eyes from the laptop and placed the small table on the bed.
Huo Tingrui saw the small bowl of porridge sitting on the small table. He raised his hand and rubbed his brows. “Can you order something with more flavor next time?”
He had been eating this every day. It was so bland that he had lost all taste in his mouth.
Huo Yulin wanted to agree initially, but Huo Yao said with a straight face, “The doctor said you should only eat plain porridge for now.
Was it easy to make money?
Huo Yulin quietly glanced at his little sister. From the medical perspective, Huo Tingrui had been recuperating for several days, so it was perfectly fine for him to eat something more normal.
However, he did not expose her.
Huo Tingrui scratched his hair and picked up the spoon grudgingly.
Huo Yao stood up and looked at the time before she said to Huo Yulin, “Let’s go, Brother Yulin. Uncle Changfeng has booked a table at a nice restaurant.”
Huo Tingrui had just eaten some porridge and could not believe his ears.
She must be a monster, right?
Huo Yulin cleared his throat and smiled slightly. “Okay.”
Before long, the two of them left the hospital ward one after another. They walked out of the room coolly with the door closing behind them mercilessly.
Huo Tingrui cursed uncontrollably.

When they got to the restaurant, Huo Changfeng was already waiting in the private room. The moment they arrived, the kitchen immediately sent the food over. Just as the staff was about to leave, they took second glances at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao could not help touching her face quizzically. For a moment, she suspected there was something on it.
After they were more or less done eating, the waiter came in with a big cake box.
Huo Yao was caught by surprise. She turned to look at Uncle Changfeng sitting across from them. “Is it your birthday today?”
Both her and Huo Yulin’s birthdays were already over.
Huo Changfeng touched his wooden bead bracelet and said somewhat awkwardly, “Uh huh.”
Huo Yao retrieved her phone from her pocket. “Sorry. Uncle Changfeng, I didn’t know it was your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift…”
She had already tapped on WeChat to send him a red packet.
Huo Yulin was never in the habit of remembering birthdays himself. He watched as his little sister sent Uncle Changfeng a red packet, so he pondered before taking out his phone to do the same.
Huo Changfeng laughed. “Don’t worry about it. It is just a birthday.”
His phone was sitting in his pocket and had rung twice in a row. He looked at Huo Yulin and Huo Yao both holding their phones before he retrieved his phone as well.
Huo Changfeng tapped on WeChat and saw the red packets they had just sent.
Huo Changfeng paused briefly. First, he tapped on Huo Yao’s chat group to see a red packet icon accompanied with a happy birthday GIF. He automatically smiled after seeing this.
He did not have any children and his wife had died young from illness, so he spent almost every birthday alone each year. Even though a lot of people would send him wishes and gifts, he inexplicably felt very moved when he received the red packet from Miss Huo.
Huo Changfeng did not open the red packet. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Huo Yao and spoke softly. “Thanks. I won’t accept the red packet. I am happy that you are around to spend my birthday with me as it is.”
Just her?
Huo Yulin went speechless.
Was he invisible or something?
