It was around 4:00 am back at ho. Huo Tingrui picked up the phone with a frown. He inhaled deeply to suppress his anger when he saw that it was his little brother calling.
“Yeah, Yulin?”
Huo Yulin squeezed the glass cup. Then he went silent for two seconds before he said, “I saw Yaoyao today.”
Huo Tingrui lay prone on his pillow and sounded nasal when he said, “Hmm? Get to the point.”
“Brother Tingrui, are you close to Yaoyao?” asked Huo Yulin exasperatingly slowly.
Huo Tingrui’s heavy lidded eyes opened instantly. “She is naturally the closest with .”
No one could replace his status in their little sister’s heart!
“Perfect. Then do you know what she likes?”
Huo Yulin had sat on the couch thinking for a long ti. Since it was the first ti he t this biological sister of his, he felt bad about not giving her a gift.
Huo Tingrui instantly replied. “She likes to study!”
When Huo Yulin realized what she liked, he said, “Oh! She likes to study?”
“Yeah. She doesn’t do anything else except study. Couldn’t you tell what a nerd she was when you t her today? She’s not cute at all,” said Huo Tingrui without skipping a beat.
Huo Yulin recollected how his little sister seed to have a scholarly air about her. But... but was she not adorable?
He thought she was okay!
“Anything else?” asked Huo Yulin again.
“Nope!” said Huo Tingrui firmly. Then he paused and recalled how resistant his little sister looked when people gave her red packets, so he cunningly added. “Oh yes. Yao likes it when people send her red packets.”
Oh, so she liked money.
Huo Yulin went into a daze. Then he replied quickly. “Oh, okay. I get it. Thanks, Brother Tingrui.”
“Then I’m heading back to sleep. Don’t disturb again,” said Huo Tingrui before he hung up.
He tossed his phone on the bedside table before pursing his lips a little into a smile. The anger of getting woken up from his sleep inexplicably dissipated imcdiately.
Huo Yulin held onto his phone. First, he sent a text to his assistant telling him to gather study material for a senior with great urgency, the more, the rrier.
He contemplated before opting to transfer money and sent her $99 999 instead.
Lin: [A gift for you.]
Lin: [Brother Tingrui says you like red packets.]
Lin: [I can’t give you as much using red packets.]
After coming out of the shower, Huo Yao wanted to check her phone one more ti before sleeping. Then she suddenly got buried by a huge bank transfer yet again.
Money again.
This penchant for transferring money was certainly in their DNA.
When did she ever appear like she liked red packets?
Huo Yao’s face instantly looked a little angry. Her second older brother was trying to be funny again.

The next day, Tsing University’s teacher led all the contestants to the Olympic Center Building in Country M.
They got off the car, stood outside the building, and looked up at the skyscraper. All the people who could go in were talented students. Before they even entered, they felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Since this was an international contest with over 20 countries participating, students from all over the world had already gathered outside the building.
