Awakened as a Fine Female Cannon Fodder

Chapter 12 - Snatching away the golden trump card childhood best-friend

Early next morning, Huo Wei got up to eat breakfast and asked Cui Jing to help dress her up for the date.

Huo Ming and Zhao Sijia were going downstairs to have breakfast, but as soon as they passed her room, they couldn't help but stop, as they could hear laughter inside.

Zhao Sijia was unpleased: "So she's actually going on a date with Lou Xiao? What is she planning?"

This attitude, however, made Huo Ming a little uncomfortable, and even slightly jealous. He responded unhappily, "Why can't it be Lou Xiao as the one with strange motives? Huo Wei is just an ordinary college student, what can she do to Lou Xiao? Lou Xiao on the other hand...Who knows why he's suddenly acting nice towards Huo Wei, maybe he's the one Huo Wei should stay away from."

"Huo Ming! How could you say such things? Lou Xiao is not that kind of person!" Zhao Sijia was still cross with him from before, and she glanced at him harshly before going downstairs.

Huo Ming frowned, and walked into Huo Wei's room, and asked crossly, "Huo Wei, how did you and Lou Xiao meet? He has no reason to approach you."

Huo Wei was sitting in a wheelchair, fondling her outfits when he walked in. As soon as she heard his voice, the smile vanished from her face faster than lightning, and her voice took on a cold note, "Huo Ming, I already said, I will never forgive you. I'll never admit that you are my brother, ever again."

She slowly raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "Do not ever enter my room again and leave me alone. Stop pretending to be my brother, stop pretending to care. Get out!"

Huo Ming looked at her eyes, and his heart sank. This was not the anger and coldness like they've had in previous quarrels, as this time, her tone was sharp and sliced through him like he's the real enemy. For the first time, he truly realized that when he abandoned his sister that day, he has lost her, forever.

Cui Jing couldn't help but pat Huo Wei on the shoulder as closure, "Wei Wei..."

Huo Wei looked up at her, silently, but this was more powerful than any words. Cui Jing sighed, thinking about all the pain she had suffered during that time, and could not stand that Huo Ming was still pushing on her. She raised her head and glared at Huo Ming, "I was there when Lou Xiao and Weiwei met. Take care of your own business first, before pointing fingers at your sister. Go, Weiwei is hardly happy nowadays, don't be a nuisance here."

Huo Ming glanced at Huo Wei again, then turned and left, without nostalgia. He loves reading and learning as a child, but Huo Wei did not share the same love and was instead always away playing. Although they are twins, they are not close, despite what everyone thinks.

He didn't think he made that much of a big mistake. He didn't even know that Huo Wei was injured in the woods. That incident was mostly accidental, but Huo Wei decided to end their relationship because of such a trivia matter. Obviously, Huo Wei is more in the wrong for this mess between them, then he might as well just let her be, and care for her less in the future.

Huo Wei watched him leave indifferently, and smiled at Cui Jing: "Mom, can you choose a pale pink outfit for me? I want to look cuter today."

"Okay. You like Lou Xiao, right? That kid is better looking than celebrities! And he is of the same social rank as us. If you do like him, I can ask around and see what his reputation is like in our circle." Cui Jing teased her daughter while taking out a set of pink clothes for her.

Huo Wei covered her face and said in a sullen voice, "Mom, don't worry, there is nothing between us! Yet."

Cui Jing laughed aloud, feeling better at seeing the lively expressions on Huo Wei's face. As long as her daughter is cheerful, she can take other things slowly, as they cannot be compared to Huo Wei.
