"Xiao Yu! Are you okay? How can you faint right after you wake up? Haven't you been eating?" Huo jinyu opened her eyes and saw her mother's worried face. She also saw next to her, her two sisters...
In front of all of them, she burst out crying as she hugged her mother. They all looked at her surprised. Huo jinyi looked over at Liu Shen who looked very much confused. Se Mulan gently caressed and coaxed her as she asked "What's wrong dear?"
Huo jinyu had felt very stifled after seeing so many people she hasn't seen for a very long time. After a few hot minutes of her letting everything out, Se Mulan asked again. "Is everything alrighty now?" While wiping the tears off her eyes, she gently nodded. "Why we're you crying?" Huo Xiaomi asked in a kind voice. Huo jinyu looked at her 'lovely sister' and had some bad memories. She looked so much younger now. She bit her lip and thought of something to say. "I.. had a bad dream... " The room was stunned. "You were crying because of a dream?" Huo jinyi asked and she nodded sighing in her heart. This was something she could remember herself doing when she was younger and true, the room took it as something normal.
Then a voice spoke that hadn't spoke since. "Ladies, do you mind if I leave now? I have business to take care of." Liu Shen acquired from the room. "Sure sure. Take your time. We'll take her home with us." Se Mulan answered politely. "Well... when is she coming back?" Liu Shen took a glance at Huo jinyu. "Well... " "I'll be back before tonight." Huo jinyu interrupted before her mother got to speak. Everyone else looked surprised at her. "Um... alright. I'll be leaving now. " Liu Shen said finally before exiting the room.
Huo Xiaomi quickly went by Huo jinyu's side and asked cautiously. "Xiao yu, are you sure nothing happened over there? It's okay to tell us." Feeling Huo Xiaomi hold her hand made her feel a sense of nausea. She quickly pulled her hands away pretending to cover a cough. " No. Nothing happened. I'm perfectly fine." However, Huo Xiaomi didn't seem convinced had she kept asking. Soon Huo jinyi spoke telling her to keep quiet. "She said she's fine. What else would you like her to say. She fine and that's what matters. Besides, what would you like her to say? What are you implying?" "you... " Huo Xiaomi immediately retorted. "Hey hey! It doesn't matter what she implied. She was worried. But your sister is fine so everything's fine." Se Mulan immediately tried to to break off the argument. She turned to Huo jinyu and said. "I'm calling a driver so we can go home now. You haven't been taking enough rest I believe. We'll go home and you'll go straight to bed." Huo jinyu nodded and soon they were at home.
