Huo Yao went straight home after parting ways with Lei Xiao.
After doing analysis on the solution all afternoon, she was not very happy, so she did not look as energetic.
‘The moment she entered the house, Huo Yulin noticed the bad mood she was in. He could not help asking her. “What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood?”
Huo Yao raised her hand and waved it. She placed her bag on the cabinet before she sat on the couch, completely exhausted. Then, she took the pillow beside her and hugged it.
Huo Yulin poured her a glass of warm water, placed it on the coffee table, and sat down. “What happened?”
Huo Yao hugged the pillow tightly and leaned her chin on it lazily. She moved her head sideways, turned to her third older brother, and looked at him at a loss. “What do you think is the meaning of life?”
Huo Yulin was caught by surprise. He never imagined hearing such words coming from his little sister’s mouth. He paused briefly before he said, “To live.”
Huo Yao blinked. She paused for a couple of seconds, then she suddenly smiled and seemed much better.
He was right. The only thing that mattered in life was to live.
Since some things were unavoidable, there was no sense in avoiding them.
‘When Huo Yulin noticed his little sister was back to normal, he did not keep probing her. He simply raised his hand and touched Huo Yao’s head. “Don’t overthink it. I am always here for you. Our family will always be behind you.”
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly. She sat up straight and said, “Brother Yulin, have you made dinner? I am hungry.”
Huo Yulin’s lips twitched. “I ordered takeout. It should be here anytime.”
Huo Yao nodded and leaned back on the couch lazily. She happened to see the laptop on the coffee table and programming software on the screen.
The program was only half done and he seemed to be stuck since he had made a few mistakes.
Huo Yao moved her fingers. Her OCD was acting up again.
Meanwhile, the doorbell rang outside.
Huo Yulin did not notice Huo Yao’s expression. He stood up and said, “The food is probably here.”
Huo Yao watched as her third older brother disappeared behind the main entrance. She veered her eyes and hugged the pillow in her arms a couple of times. In the end, she could not resist picking up the laptop.
When Huo Yulin came back with the food and told her that dinner was here, Huo Yao was still lying on the couch lazily.
After eating, Huo Yao headed upstairs.
Huo Yulin cleaned up and brought a glass of water into the living room. The moment he picked up his computer and turned it on, he was stunned when he saw the code inside the programming software.
The second half of the code had been corrected. It was not the same as his, but it was more well thought out.
Huo Yulin’s hands froze over the keyboard. He pondered before he suddenly raised his head and looked at the second floor.
Moments later, he laughed softly before looking away.

The next day.
Huo Yao woke up very early in the morning and came downstairs dressed in her running gear.
It was early winter, so the temperature in the morning was lower. Shortly after Huo Yao walked out of the villa, she could feel the cold wind gusting outside making her face become increasingly pale. As she rubbed her cold hands, she could see her breath turning into steam.
Winter in the capital was far colder than City S.
Huo Yao tuted a couple of times. She walked over to the entrance and opened the door. Shortly after she came out, she saw someone standing outside after taking a few steps. Then, she promptly froze. It felt as though her feet were mobilized by super glue.
Huo Yao raised her hand and wiped her face. She seemed to be caught in awkward situations a lot recently and it was not good..
