Chapter 316: Huo Yao Scared Even Herself When She Got Serious

She saw Tong Yu sitting in the living room when she came to the living room. She nodded and greeted him. Then she walked over to the fridge to get a bottle of water.

Tong Yu turned to the side and looked at Huo Yao. “You’re awesome, Yao. I can’t believe you’ve already gone international and defeated so many powerful opponents.”

Huo Yao tilted her head and drank some water before she turned to look at Tong Yu and said indifferently, “I was just performing normally.”

Tong Yu’s lips quivered. Why did he put himself up to be injured?

“Oh yes. Yao, we start filming the day after. You’re okay with that, right?” Tong Yu had waited for half a day at the Huo residence just to tell her about the shoot.

Huo Yao walked over and sat down on the couch before she replied. “No problem.”

It was the weekend the day after.

“Great. I already told you about the things to look out for. Just follow your brother’s cue,” said Tong Yu.

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao crossed her legs on the couch. “Isn’t there any script or something for the program?”

“Nope. It’s filmed as it is.” Tong Yu raised his brow before he said somewhat teasingly, “Genius, don’t tell me you are having a case of stage fright?”

Huo Yao glanced at Tong Yu lazily. “I’m worried I might steal all the limelight if I get too serious.”

Tong Yu cupped one fist in the other hand as a sign of respect to Huo Yao. No one could beat a straight-A student who was as eloquent as her.

He raised his hand to check his wristwatch before he stood up. “Enough. I have to go now. Get in touch with me if you have any questions later.”

“Sure.” Huo Yao pursed her lips.

After Tong Yu left, Huo Xiang looked at Huo Yao. “Did you meet Brother Yulin?”

“Uh huh. I did.” Huo Yao contemplated for two seconds and asked him. “Why does he stay abroad? Does he ever come home to visit?”

“All his work is based overseas. He’s super busy, so he only visits once every few years,” replied Huo Xiang.

“Okay.” Huo Yao nodded and stopped probing.

The next day, Huo Yao visited the Chinese herb market and went again to the medicine hall called Imperial Medicine Store.

Huo Yao handed a list of ingredients to the shop owner. Although it was a long list, they were all common Chinese herbs, so he gathered all of them in no time.

Huo Yao got him to grind everything into powder. She took out her phone and texted Min Yu while she waited there.

She placed her phone back in her pocket after Min Yu confirmed that he was free to meet up with her.

Before long, the shopkeeper finished grinding the herbs. Huo Yao paid him via bank transfer, took the bag, and left. Huo Yao almost bumped into someone who was walking in when she reached the door.

“Hey, Huo Yao. What brings you here?” Old Mr. Pei was surprised to see her.

Huo Yao did not expect to bump into Old Mr. Pei here. She nodded politely before she lifted her shopping bag. “I came to buy some herbs.”

Old Mr. Pei’s eyes glinted. “Are you making medicine? What are you making this time? Do you need help?”

Huo Yao looked at Old Mr. Pei and said quietly, “I’m not making meds, so I don’t need an assistant.”

It was the biggest mistake of her life to let him watch her make medicine previously.

“Oh, I see...” Old Mr. Pei’s face sank instantly, and even his voice sounded disappointed.

“Then when will you need one?”

The man helping Huo Yao with her herbs was Old Mr. Pei’s disciple. The moment he heard their conversation, he gaped at the old man in shock.
