Lei Xiao opened his eyes wide in astonishment. “Don’t we have to test it on some animals first?”
They usually conducted animal testing when it came to medication. He had never seen anyone adding human blood into the sample.
Huo Yao picked up the receptacle containing the mixture. She placed it under the high-power microscope to observe its reaction up close and said mildly, “This is more
problematic than I thought.”
Lei Xiao blinked quizzically. “Can I use my blood on all similar drugs that are in the testing phase?”
“It doesn’t work that way,” replied Huo Yao.
Lei Xiao replied. “I see.”
He promptly believed every word she said, inexplicably.
After standing there for a while, Lei Xiao was unable to figure out what Huo Yao was trying to do. He took off his gloves altogether and went to the bathroom.
When he got back, Huo Yao was turning off the equipment.
“That’s it?” asked Lei Xiao.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao walked up to the refrigerator and took out the remaining half a tube of analysis solution. She said to Lei Xiao, “I am going to take this.”
Lei Xiao nodded. He left the laboratory with Huo Yao without probing her further.
After taking off the protective gear, Lei Xiao raised his hand and checked the time. “It is getting late. Since you haven’t had dinner yet, why don’t we go grab a bite together?
Or would you prefer it if I ordered takeout?”
Huo Yao had her hand in her pockets squeezing the tube. “Maybe another day. I have to go home.”
She paused before taking out the villa key and access card and placing them on the table. “Thank you.”
Lei Xiao glanced at the things and asked her. “Aren’t you coming by to use the lab anymore?”
“Nope, I’m not.” Huo Yao nodded.
“Okay then. Well, you can always call me when you need the lab,” said Lei Xiao as he smiled and scratched his head.
Huo Yao waved her hand and walked out. She looked slim and beautiful from behind as her clothes fluttered. Her aura was particularly cool.
Chen Ming was still waiting outside the villa. When he saw Huo Yao exiting the villa, he got out of the car and opened the back seat door automatically.
After Huo Yao got into the car, Chen Ming turned to glance at the villa.
Since Lei Xiao was friends with Miss Huo, Chen Ming did not dare to investigate him. However, it did not stop him from feeling curious.

It was already 8:30 pm when they got home. After dinner, Huo Yao went back to her room to retrieve her silver needles. She was going to give Huo Tingrui one final
acupuncture treatment.
Since Huo Tingrui was spared from pain during the last treatment, he was very cooperative this time around and quickly lay down on the bed without the slightest
hesitation. He held his phone in midair, seeming as though he wanted to play with his phone while his little sister performed acupuncture treatment on him.
Huo Yao glanced at him and shook her head. “You sure seem happy.”
Huo Tingrui tilted his head sideways and did not quite hear his little sister. “What do you mean?”
Huo Yao said nothing. She was already done sterilizing the needles, so she massaged the pressure points with her fingertips and quickly applied the first needle.
Huo Tingrui promptly felt a wave of pain making his hands tremble so hard that he nearly dropped the phone squarely on his face. “Yao, why does it hurt so much this
time?”
Huo Yao applied a second acupuncture needle to him and replied calmly. “Just bear with it.”
Huo Tingrui was dumbstruck.
He deeply suspected whether his little sister was out to get him.
He clearly remembered that there was hardly any pain during the last acupuncture treatment!
Huo Yao worked swiftly. In 30 minutes, she finally finished applying all the acupuncture needles on Huo Tingrui.
Huo Tingrui kept howling during treatment. He swore he had never suffered such agonizing pain before.
He was starting to have doubts about whether his little sister cared about him at all.
Huo Yao glanced at her second older brother in contempt as he lay stiffly on the bed like a zombie..
