Chapter 328: A Killer Question
Yin Hai raised his brow and looked at Huo Yao. “Why?”
“For gimmick.” Huo Yao spoke calmly with a relaxed look on her exquisite features.
“But it still beats our standard-issue salted vegetables and buns,” said Yin Hai sadly. His eyes landed on Huo Yao’s phone screen. “Hey! What game is that?”
“Chicken Wars.”
At the drop of her voice, everyone at the table instantly paused.
The horror of getting overwhelmed by chickens all morning surged into their hearts.
Wu Miao’s face could not help freeze as she sat across Huo Yao. Her hands clenched into fists while resting on her knees.
Shen Si glanced at her cousin before suddenly asking Huo Yao with a smile. “You look pretty young, so you must still be studying, right? Are you in middle school?”
“Uh huh,” replied Huo Yao softly in a polite tone.
Shen Si continued probing in a casual tone. “Oh. Don’t you need to have to take tuition on weekends?”
It sounded like she was asking what a middle school student was doing on an entertainment program instead of focusing on studying.
Huo Yao finally raised her head and looked at Shen Si as she smiled. “I’ve never taken tuition before.”
In the live stream room comments…
[What did she mean when she said she had never taken tuition before? Is she a straight-A student or a lousy student whom no amount of tuition can save?]
[HAHAHA! Her arrogant tone sounds super cool.]
[She’s pretending again.]
Huo Yao’s smile sent Shen Si into a daze and made her uncomfortable. However, she maintained her amicable face and said, “Sounds like you have good grades.”
“I’m pretty average,” Huo Yao replied in a perfunctory tone.
Huo Xiang glanced at his little sister. He was used to Huo Yao’s habit of keeping a low profile.
“Oh yes. Lucky, was the news about you being injured… a lie?” asked Shen Si somewhat concernedly after failing to get much reaction from Huo Yao.
It was clearly a deliberate line of questioning, especially in the middle of live filming. However, no one noticed how unsuitable it was since the news had spread all over the internet like wildfire previously.
Everyone, including the people on set and his fans watching the live stream, wanted to know whether it was true.
After all, Lucky never stepped forward to clarify the matter.
Huo Xiang pursed his lips and his striking face looked cold as usual. He placed his hands on the table as he eventually said, “If I was injured, Mr. Qu probably wouldn’t have invited me to join the show, right?”
Shen Si’s eyes glinted and she gave a slow smile. “That’s true. I shouldn’t even have tried asking. But is Phenom really getting disbanded?”
That… was a killer question.
Yin Hai and Xiao Moling both glanced at Shen Si in shock. It was already inappropriate for her to ask about his injuries, let alone this…
Huo Xiang said nothing and only glanced at Shen Si.
In an instant, the atmosphere became awkward.
Shen Si acted as though she was oblivious of how insensitive her questions were and continued flippantly. “Phenom has been around for years. It would be a real pity for the group to get disbanded.”
It was deemed as silent admission if Huo Xiang did not respond to her. She was coercing him into a corner.
In an instant, the live stream room exploded again.
[No way! If Phenom gets disbanded, what am I going to do as their fan for so many years?]
[Lucky clarified that he wasn’t injured but said nothing about disbandment. It looks like he’s really going to go solo.]
[Sigh! Some people want to kick their former friends aside after they become famous. They can be so heartless.]
[No wonder he didn’t clarify such a huge misunderstanding. It’s such a disappointment.]
Huo Yao glanced at the live stream room comments as she rubbed her phone with her fingertips before raising her head to look at Shen Si.
