Early in the morning, when Song Yaoyao woke up, the person beside her was no longer there.

She was already used to it. After washing up as usual, she prepared to go downstairs to eat. Her brain was still in a state of confusion after waking up. She was in a daze and did not notice the excessive silence in the house at all.

“Uncle Zhang?”

It was not until she went downstairs that Song Yaoyao sensed that something was not right.

Where did everyone go?

“Is anyone there? Uncle Zhang? Huo Si, Huo Jiu?”

Song Yaoyao scratched her head. “Am I sleepwalking?”

Song Yaoyao tried to pinch a small piece of flesh on her arm and twisted it hard!

“Ouch!”

The next second, Song Yaoyao cried out in pain with tears in her eyes.

“What are you doing?”

A voice suddenly appeared and interrupted Song Yaoyao’s movements. She looked over with tears in her eyes and saw Huo Yunque looking at her helplessly with his hand on his forehead. He was walking towards her in big strides.

Song Yaoyao sniffed, feeling wronged. “I-I thought I was dreaming.”

There were always people in Huo Manor, but today, no one was there even after she called out a few times.

“Pfff—”

Then, a few bursts of laughter came from behind Huo Yunque.

Song Yaoyao looked up and saw Xia Rao trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Song Yaoyao wiped away her tears. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

How could she be so stupid!

More importantly, she was actually seen looking so stupid!

Huo Yunque wiped away her tears, held her slender wrist, and looked down at her. Song Yaoyao’s skin was originally white. After being pinched so hard, her entire skin turned red. It was a shocking sight as if she had been beaten.

“Silly.”

Huo Yunque gently rubbed her arm. “Don’t do this again, do you understand?”

“Yes…” Song Yaoyao nodded with tears in her eyes. She also felt that it was silly to do this, so she said sullenly, “I called several times, but there was no one. What are you guys doing?”

She suddenly remembered and looked at Xia Rao. “Sister Xia Rao, why are you here?”

“It’s because”—Xia Rao smiled as she stepped forward and held Song Yaoyao’s arm—”I’m a special guest today. Second Brother specially invited me to help. Let’s go, Little Princess.”

Song Yaoyao was dressed in light yellow loungewear, which made her look even more youthful.

At this moment, she was being dragged away by Xia Rao in a daze. From time to time, she would turn around to look at Huo Yunque.

“Gege… what exactly are you…”

“Shh!”

Xia Rao interrupted her with a smile. “There won’t be any surprises if you keep asking. Don’t be afraid. Your Gege won’t hurt you. Don’t worry and follow me.”

Song Yaoyao could only put down her doubts temporarily and was dragged upstairs passively.

There were no changes in the room. It was the same as last time. Xia Rao felt the strong aura of life in the room and sighed. “After being with you, Second brother has finally become a human being.”

“Huh? What?”

“He is a normal person now. In the past, he was like a god!”

A person who could only be seen from afar and not be touched.

A person who was unreachable!

“So, I really admire you.”

Song Yaoyao pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes curved.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Rao quickly said, “It must be my makeup artist. Wait a moment, I’ll go open the door!”

Makeup artist?

Song Yaoyao seemed to have realized something. However, it was just a birthday, did it need to be so grand?

“Sister Rao.”

The man who came in through the door was wearing a flowery shirt and slim jeans. He had a slim figure and was very pretty. Those who didn’t know him would think that he was a young lady dressed in a neutral outfit.
