Huo Yao raised her brow and waited for her to finish the story.
“It’s time for the monthly death test!” said Meng Ying as she exhaled deeply.
“Don’t you know why Chen Yu is called the Female Devil? After each test, those with lower average marks than before will suffer an insane corporal punishment!”
Huo Yao looked at her lazily and asked. “Corporal punishment?”
“Yes! We have to run ten rounds every day after school for ten days in a row. Don’t you think it’s crazy?” asked Meng Ying as she shivered.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched and she asked. “Is it that bad?”
When Meng Ying heard Huo Yao, she immediately exploded. “Isn’t it? It’s ten whole rounds! Sister Big Shot, do you not know how big our track is? I get so exhausted after running just one round during physical education!”
Running ten rounds around the track was as good as killing Meng Ying!
Oh yes, she had forgotten that Sister Big Shot was like a professional athlete during physical education classes. It was as though Huo Yao was in a pletely different physical education class or a rather different level.
Huo Yao touched her chin and studied Meng Ying. She clicked her tongue as she shook her head and said, “You have dark eye rings and edema from staying up late. Also, you don’t exercise enough. My dear, you shouldn’t kill yourself at such a young age.”
“PFFFT PFFFT... You make me feel as though you are a professional Chinese physician, who goes around deceiving others,” said Meng Ying as she dug in her desk for her makeup mirror.
“Are my eye bags that bad?”
Huo Yao, “...”
“They do look kind of serious,” said Meng Ying woefully before putting down the mirror. Then she turned to look at Huo Yao’s face.
Huo Yao’s plexion was bright and translucent without any impurities. Sigh... her plexion emphasized Meng Ying’s flaws.
Meng Ying covered her face and said, “I’m so hurt. Don’t bother trying to console me.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She only said airily, “Remember to study hard for the monthly death test.
Meng Ying let Huo Yao go and said huffily, “Sister Big Shot, how can you give me double whammies like that!”
Huo Yao smiled at her gently.
Meng Ying, “!!!”
Huo Yao was no longer the same Sister Big Shot whom she once knew!

Huo Yao went upstairs after dinner and took out her box of jars and bottles. She removed a light grey bottle and went back downstairs.
“Brother Tingrui, this is for you. One pill a day. I can give you more once you’re done,” said Huo Yao as she handed over a bottle to Huo Tingrui.
Huo Tingrui raised his brow and accepted the bottle before saying, “Are these the meds for nourishing Qi and blood that you were mentioning in the afternoon?”
Then he opened the bottle.
“Mhm,” replied Huo Yao. “Trust me, they are super effective.”
Huo Tingrui smiled. A light Chinese herbal scent wafted in his nostrils when he placed it next to his nose and took a whiff. It smelled good and helped ease his mind. Even his brain felt clearer in a second!
“These meds....” said Huo Tingrui in shock as he raised his head and looked at Huo Yao.
He continued after a pause. “I feel better just by smelling it!”
Huo Yao’s lips curved into a smile. Of course, this medication was priceless.
“Let me try one now,” said Huo Tingrui as he eagerly took a green bean sized pill out.
He took some water from beside him and swallowed the pill.
Although it was a Chinese medical pill, it did not choke him like the other medicines.
Huo Tingrui was already biased towards the medicine after feeling great from merely smelling it. The moment he took it, it relieved even the weightiness he had felt all these years.
This medication was amazing!
