Chapter 315: Huo Yao Was The Pride Of The Nation
The scores for the International Quiz Contest finals appeared on the screen before long.
1st – China – Huo Yao – 200 marks.
2nd – Country M…
…
27th – China – Yi Lianfan – 173 marks
…
“Yes! We are ranked first. Our country finally achieved the top position.”
“Huo Yao, you’re brilliant!”
“Boo hoo! I suddenly feel so overwhelmed that I want to cry.”
The students beside Huo Yao hugged each other, tears of joy were trickling down from their reddened eyes.
They were here representing the country, not themselves. For them, National glory was far more important than personal achievements.
Even just looking at their country’s name at the top made them feel exhilarated.
Huo Yao’s lips curved up slightly when she looked at the score on the monitor.
Yi Lianfan turned to look at Huo Yao with an imperceptible look of admiration. Then he said in a deep voice, “Congrats Huo Yao for achieving the first position.”
“You didn’t do too bad yourself.” She genuinely felt happy for him.
Yi Lianfan smiled without commenting on it.
News about Huo Yao becoming the champion at the International Quiz Contest reached home quickly. The people who had just recovered from the astonishment of Huo Yao’s heats’ results were swept by shock yet again.
Their country had not made it into the finals for god knew how long. The cherry on the top was Huo Yao scoring full marks in the finals. Her name was bound to go down in history as a legend. She was definitely going to be the role model for all aspiring students.

Inside the hotel.
Huo Yao packed the gold trophy into her luggage carefully. She could not help smiling when she saw the trophy.
Her grandmother would certainly be delighted when she caught sight of this trophy.
After packing, Huo Yao left the room with her luggage.
Before long, they took a cab and headed to the airport.
An hour before the flight, Huo Yao received a call from Huo Yulin, so she headed out of the waiting area.
“Brother Yulin, didn’t I say it was okay for you not to come?” said Huo Yao from one meter away.
Huo Yulin looked at how far his little sister was standing. He could not help sadly smiling as he asked her. “Do you have to stand so far when you talk to me?”
Huo Yao touched her nose.
Huo Yulin walked up to her. When he gazed into his little sister’s bright, beautiful eyes, he suddenly felt emotional.
He raised his hand and placed it on top of her head, rubbing it affectionately. “We’re biological siblings, you don’t have to be so distant.”
Huo Yao was always the one who touched people’s heads. However, someone stroked her head today and left her stunned.
“!!!”
Didn’t Huo Yulin dislike body contact?!!!
Ah! Huo Tingrui had fooled her again!
Huo Tingrui suddenly sneezed and even sensed a chill running down his spine.
After chatting for 20 minutes, Huo Yao checked the time on her wristwatch. Then she said, “Brother Yulin, you should come home to visit us when you’re free.”
Huo Yulin was taken aback by her request. A while later, he narrowed his eyes and replied softly. “Okay.”
He seemed preoccupied.
However, Huo Yao failed to detect his fluctuating emotions. Instead, she said, “It’s almost time for my flight. Bye, Brother Yulin.”
“Uh huh. Go on. Have a safe trip. Text me when you reach home,” said Huo Yulin slowly.
Huo Yao nodded and returned to the waiting area.
Huo Yulin stood for a few minutes. Then he sighed gently before turning to leave the airport.

Huo Yao’s flight landed back in City S the next morning.
