“What are you looking at?” asked Song Ning.
She could not help asking when she noticed her husband staring at the cabinet.
Huo Jinyan naturally did not speak his mind. Instead, he slowly veered his eyes away and said calmly, “I’m wondering whether it’s bad Feng Shui for this cabinet to be here.”
Song Ning’s lips twitched and she said angrily, “You’re the one who’s hindering our Feng Shui.”
Huo Jinyan happened to be standing in front of the television cabinet. Although his figure was relatively well-maintained, he lacked exercise, so he appeared slightly plump. Fortunately, he was tall, so it was not glaringly obvious even if he put on weight.
When he heard his wife poking fun at his physique, he appeared indignant. Then he groaned softly. “Sigh, I used to be quite the eye candy in my youth.”

Huo Jinyan turned around to look at Huo Yao and asked him. “Do you have any weight loss meds?”
Huo Yao felt her temples throb. She said, “You need to exercise. Why don’t you come jogging with me in the morning?”
When Huo Jinyan heard this suggestion, he shook his head vehemently. It was as though he had heard something awful. He said hastily, “No no no. I think I’m still quite young, so there’s no need for morning runs.”
He had not worked out in decades, so morning runs would kill him.
He won’t go running!
So be it if he put on weight.
“I think our daughter makes a good point,” said Song Ning as she nodded and looked serious.
“Sigh, I can’t outtalk you. I’m going to my room,” muttered Huo Jinyan. He turned to open the cabinet next to him and retrieved a wooden box. Then he covered it like he was hiding a treasure and took it away.
Song Ning noticed her husband’s gestures and whispered quizzically. “What on earth is he up to?”
Huo Yao raised her brow and smiled vaguely.
The old man was kind of cute.

The next day, the results of the National Quiz Contest city level heats came out at 10:00 am.
Meng Ying eagerly took out her phone sharp at 10. She quickly asked as she opened the web page. “Sister Big Shot, tell me your candidate number. I’ll check your results.”
Huo Yao tilted her head and lazily gave her the number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeng Ying entered it and immediately clicked on search. Perhaps because it took some time before the results got updated or due to an overwhelming number of people visiting the website, it took a long time for the page to load.
Meng Ying froze when she saw the scores. Then she blew up the webpage on her phone, out of fear that she misread the scores.
“Oh my, 200 points. Sister Big Shot, you’re incredible!”
Meng Ying was in complete shock.
Huo Yao had scored 150 marks for the written paper, 50 for the three on-site test questions, leading to a total of 200 marks. Her Sister Big Shot actually scored 200 marks!!
How insane was that?
The preliminary test consisted of a single written paper, so it was normal for her to get full marks. Also, the questions were far easier in comparison. But the city level heats were different. It was much harder and consisted of an on-site live quiz, so the chances of getting full marks were non-existent.
But it was undoubtedly explosive that she scored 200 out of 210 marks.
Huo Yao had no clue what crossed Meng Ying’s mind. When she heard the score, she asked with a wrinkled nose. “Only 200 marks?”
She had thought that she would get full marks.
“Only?” asked Meng Ying as she gazed at Huo Yao, who seemed dissatisfied with the outcome.
Then she blinked and continued. “Sister Big Shot, you’re a little big-headed...”
