After eating, Huo Yao sat in the living room with the TV still on in front of him.

The phone in my pocket rang.

It was Yuan Xi's call.

Thinking about the relationship between Yuan Huan and her, Huo Yao paused for two seconds before pressing the answer button.

"Sister Yao, I just found out that you have also taken sick leave these days, are you alright?" Yuan Xi on the other end of the phone was still coughing when she spoke.

Hearing the low cough, Huo Yao raised his eyelids, "I'm fine, but you, are you still sick?"

Yuan Xi coughed a few more times and calmed down, before frowning and complaining, "Actually, it's almost healed, it's just that this cough is like an addiction, it's endless."

Huo Yao nodded, "Drink more hot water."

"I know." Yuan Xi smiled. She gently moved the figure on the table with her fingers, and her face with some baby fat was thinner now. "By the way, are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Let's rest for two more days." Huo Yao thought for a while and replied.

"Yeah." Yuan Xi replied softly.

Her throat was always sore, and it was endless when she coughed, so she hung up the phone without saying a word.

Yuan Xi put down her phone, got up and walked out of the room, covering her mouth with her hands, suppressing her cough and going downstairs.

Downstairs, Mother Yuan and Father Yuan were talking, and both of them had sad expressions on their faces, but when they saw Yuan Xi coming down, their expressions became somewhat restrained.

"Dad, Mom, what happened to you...?" Yuan Xi originally wanted to pour a glass of water, but seeing the strangeness of the two, he walked directly towards them.

Mother Yuan looked at her and hesitated. After a while, she said, "It's your elder brother who has an accident."

As soon as Yuan Xi heard this, the whole person froze in place, "Come on, what happened?"

Yuan's mother's eyes were a little red, and she always treated Yuan Huan as her own, "Yeah, what kind of leaked information is it, and now it's locked in a special security bureau."

The father Yuan next to him has been sitting on the sofa, with his hand on his eyebrows, he can't do anything, the whole person looks like he is ten years old.

"Then what's the situation now?" Yuan Xi squeezed his fingers involuntarily.

asked.

"I asked your father for a relationship and said that he committed a serious crime, and the chance of being released is very small..."

Yuan Xi didn't listen carefully to what Mother Yuan was saying behind her. At this moment, only the words "the chance of being released is very small" swirled in her ears.

Since she accidentally bumped into Yuan Huan dissecting a living person for experiments a few years ago, she can no longer treat him as a normal person.

To this day, she still remembered his eyes without any waves, as if human life was an ant to him, and the only value was for him to do research.

She didn't know why Yuan Huan could disregard his life so recklessly without being punished. She had thought about exposing his hypocritical mask, but in the end she still dared not do that.

Because she didn't dare to gamble with her family's life, she had tried desperately to escape from him all these years, but... she couldn't escape.

Yuan Xi covered her mouth and coughed again, as if something was about to come out of her throat. She was obviously uncomfortable, but at this moment she felt unusually relaxed.

People like her big brother should have been arrested long ago.

Yuan Xi lowered her head, and the corners of her lips twitched in relief that she didn't know how to describe.

It's alright if she can't get out... That way, she no longer has to worry about it all the time, fearing that she will wake up one day and lie on his experimental bench.
