Huo Xiaozheng left Huo Yueze behind and walked away without looking back, carrying Huo Guining.

Chen Zheng wanted to stop him, but Huo Xiaozheng's aura was too intimidating, and he didn't dare to intervene.

Huo Guining, perched on his shoulder, waved goodbye to Chen Zheng.

"Dad, aren't we waiting for big brother to go home together?" she asked.

Huo Xiaozheng replied coldly, "No need. Your brother is very busy."

Huo Guining glanced in Huo Yueze's direction, looking disappointed as if she hadn't gotten enough of the drama. She slumped on Huo Xiaozheng's shoulder and sighed.

Meanwhile, Huo Yueze found himself in an awkward situation.

The girl in front of him was blushing, saying things that made him uncomfortable.

Huo Yueze tried to recall any special memories with this girl but found nothing particularly noteworthy.

Naturally, he couldn't say he had feelings for her.

Huo Yueze spoke with a slightly cold tone, "Thank you for your feelings, but I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way about you."

The girl was taken aback, then timidly lowered her head. "I'm sorry for bothering you..."

"Why do you like me?" Huo Yueze asked, curious.

The girl shyly lowered her head again. "Once, when I had menstrual cramps, you took me to the infirmary despite others' stares, and even bought medicine for me..."

Huo Yueze narrowed his eyes as a distant memory flooded back.

It was during a winter PE class when he had plans to meet friends at the basketball court.

As he passed through a tree-lined path, he suddenly saw a girl crouching in the shade, seemingly shivering.

The boys with him immediately started teasing, but none of them approached to help.

At that time, Huo Guining was in the hospital due to poor health. For some reason, Huo Yueze walked up to the girl and asked what was wrong.

The girl was too embarrassed to explain, just shaking her head.

The boys around continued their jeering, so Huo Yueze sternly sent them away.

He had a good idea of the girl's situation.

"Can you walk?" Huo Yueze asked tentatively.

The girl, too weak from pain to speak, just shook her head.

Huo Yueze thought for a moment, then picked her up and carried her to the infirmary.

As luck would have it, the infirmary was out of fast-acting pain relievers that day.

The nurse suggested trying extended-release tablets instead.

Huo Yueze used his financial means to quickly obtain more effective fast-acting pain relievers.

Seeing the girl fall into an exhausted sleep not long after taking the medicine, Huo Yueze felt relieved and went to the sports field.

"So it was you..." Huo Yueze murmured.

The girl smiled shyly. "You remember now?"

Huo Yueze nodded, then suddenly thought of Huo Guining.

He couldn't help but imagine the future, when Huo Guining might confess to a boy she liked. What if that boy responded the same way he just had...
