Huo Xiang tended to be cold to outsiders. He looked at his little sister as she wiped her hands with tissue and went quiet for two seconds before veering his eyes away.
He looked at Shen Si and her cousin. Since it was a live stream program and their attitude was good, he had trouble rejecting them and replied instead. “Although I don’t know how to kill chicken, I can try my best.”
Huo Yao glanced at Huo Xiang with an intense look of scorn.
She walked over and sat on the chair on the side. She took out her phone.
After listening to Huo Xiang, Shen Si’s cousin, Wu Miao understood that it was his little sister who did the slaughtering.
Hence, Wu Miao raised her head and looked at Huo Yao. Since Huo Yao did not intend on helping them, she lowered her eyes and did not force her. She could only nod to Huo Xiang and said gently, “Thanks so much.”
The live stream room comments exploded right away.
[What is Lucky Charm’s sister up to? She didn’t help when Wu Miao asked for it and even sat by the side playing with her phone. She’s way too unobliging.]
[She could’ve just helped, but she let her older brother do it even though he doesn’t know how to do it. This little sister is so… tsk tsk.]
[She does seem a little unhelpful, but it was normal for her not to. After all, Sisi’s cousin didn’t ask Lucky Charm’s little sister to begin with.]
[You guys are hilarious. Why should she help? Can’t you tell that her brother also didn’t want her to?]
[Yeah! Lucky Charm dotes on his little sister but could not refuse them, so he told her that he would do it himself. Stop blaming his little sister.]
[I hate people like Sisi’s cousin. She knew Lucky Charm’s little sister killed the chicken, but she ran to Lucky Charm for help instead. Can’t you tell what this implies?]
Huo Yao sat on the bench with her legs lazily crossed as she looked at the live stream room with her phone. She glanced at the comments appearing on it but did not take them to heart.
She glanced at her fourth older brother as he caused more trouble than help and shook her head before looking away.
Since he offered to help, he should deal with it on his own.
A text notification appeared on the phone, and Huo Yao tapped it open.
Meng Ying: [Sister Big Shot, how could you let your brother slaughter the chicken? Doesn’t it pain you to see him do it?]
Medicine Pill: [Did you feel sorry for me when I slaughtered the chicken?]
Meng Ying: [I’m going to the live stream room to reveal information about you!]
Medicine Pill: [Think wisely before you post.]
Meng Ying deleted the half-written text.
Meng Ying: [Wu Miao is an awful person. Don’t let her use your older brother for hype.]
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at Wu Miao as she kept going close to her fourth older brother from time to time.
Her eyes narrowed and she suddenly stood up to walk over to where her brother was.
Huo Xiang still had a kitchen knife in his hands when he spotted his little sister walking over from the corner of his eyes. He could not help but pause.
“Give me the knife,” said Huo Yao indifferently.
Huo Xiang handed over the knife obediently.
Wu Miao was still holding a chicken when she looked at Huo Yao and smiled gratefully. “Thanks.”
“Mhm.” Huo Yao nodded. She waved the kitchen knife over the chicken as it gleamed menacingly before looking at Wu Miao. “Hold onto it tight.”
Huo Xiang’s heart inexplicably palpated when he noticed his little sister’s actions.
He could sense a murderous aura in the air.
Wu Miao wanted to just pass the chicken to Huo Yao. However, she had no choice but to put on a bold front and pressed the chicken on the chopping board. “Is this okay?”
