NovelEnglishChapter 159: Missing Notes
Huo Yulin never liked having people near him. Even though Huo Tingrui was his biological elder brother, Huo Yulin swiftly retreated backward and put some space in between them quickly.
Huo Tingrui sighed inwardly. Since he was keenly aware of Huo Yulin’s personality, he did not get upset. He glanced around his state of the art home and said, “I’m happy to see that you are doing well.”
Huo Yulin pursed his lips and attempted to smile, but he was used to being expressionless, so at the moment, his face looked stiff. He turned around swiftly to pour two cups of water for Huo Tingrui and Tong Yu.
“Treat it like your own home,” said Huo Yulin.
Huo Tingrui took the water and asked him straight away. “Can Xiang make a full recovery?”

Huo Tingrui went quiet for a long time. Even his multi-award-winning brother, a medical genius, said it was impossible for Huo Xiang to perform, then it must be true.
Huo Yulin glanced at the second floor and said even more coldly, “If he doesn’t want an operation, then I suggest that he goes home. I have two junior brothers with excellent medical skills whom I can introduce to him.”
Huo Yulin walked over to the couch and sat down. The light from a dazzling crystal lamp hanging overhead, reflected off his face and made his complexion look translucent. He came off seeming to be cold and unfeeling.
Tong Yu instantly felt anxious. After getting to know Huo Yulin these past days, he could tell that he was as eccentric as rumor had it. If the patient in question were not his own brother, he would probably not have helped them at all.
“Yulin....” said Tong Yu.
Suddenly he caught sight of Huo Xiang standing at the staircase, so he instantly shut up.
Huo Tingrui had spotted Huo Xiang too. He turned to see Huo Yulin sitting on the couch with an indifferent expression on his face. He sighed and said, “Let me talk to Huo Xiang.”
Huo Yulin did not utter a word and picked up a magazine to read instead.
Huo Tingrui veered his eyes away and headed upstairs.

Soon, it was time for the National Quiz Contest city level finals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was the eve of the contest.
Lu Xia was preparing to revise, but she scoured her room and could not locate those notes which she got from her father’s friend, who worked at the Education Association.
Lu Xia started to look upset. Recently, she had been going after school to the company to practice till late. After she got home, she was incapable of keeping her eyes open, so she had not been revising off late.
She was certain of placing the notes under her pillow. Where had they gone?
Lu Xia pressed her forehead but suddenly a thought crossed her mind, and she turned to walk out of the room.
Lu Ziming’s room was next door. Lu Xia opened his door without even knocking and walked right in to ask him. “Lu Ziming, did you take my notes?”
Lu Ziming was in the middle of playing MMORPG with his classmate. He did not hear Lu Xia clearly as he was wearing earphones. The moment she entered, he glanced at her before placing his attention back on the game.
Lu Xia went over to snatch his phone and yank out his earphones. Then she demanded in a loud voice. “Hand over my notes.”
Lu Ziming frowned at the interruption and said angrily, “Are you nuts? Hurry up and give me my phone.”
