It had been a while before Huo Yanzhao finally withdrew his hand and smiled as if nothing had happened, "Get up, we are to go to the hospital today, remember?"
Yun Xuefei pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Then... you go out first."
Huo Yanzhao did not insist, and softly said "okay" before he turned and left.
When he opened the door, Yun Xuefei's slow yet firm voice followed from behind, "Huo Yanzhao, even if my room door is unlocked, you should not have come in. That is basic courtesy."
Huo Yanzhao's steps halted, and his fingers clenched forcefully.
"This is no longer your home, I hope you can remember that," Yun Xuefei continued, her voice very calm.
Yet every word, like a sharp blade, bled Huo Yanzhao profusely.
"Sorry," Huo Yanzhao huskily spat out these two words.

Huo Yanzhao arrived downstairs, where he heard the voice of Mrs. Wu from the front yard, apparently arguing with someone.
