Xia Cha left the washroom first.
She opened the door and poked her head out to look around.
Seeing that there was no one, she ran out in a panic.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha who looked like she was a thief and couldn’t help but smile.
For her, he had changed a lot.
If that had happened in the past, there was no way she could have left the washroom so easily.
Not long after Xia Cha walked out, Huo Heng walked out.
After a few steps, a figure came from around the corner.
“I’m still curious. Which vixen accepted Young Master Huo?”
Zhou Xiurui looked at Huo Heng with a provocative smile.
Huo Heng raised his eyebrows. “It’s good that you know. Don’t flirt with my woman in the future.”
Zhou Xiurui’s lips twitched. “I asked Miss Xia earlier. She’s still single!”
“Not for much longer.”
Zhou Xiurui walked up to Huo Heng. “Really? My sister is a little interested in you. I even plan to matchmake the two of you.”
Huo Heng said, “Apart from her, I don’t want anyone else.”
Zhou Xiurui looked at Huo Heng. He had not expected him to be such a faithful person.
After Old Master Huo’s birthday banquet, Xia Cha returned to the capital.
She was secretly anticipating how Huo Heng would woo her.
With Xia Cha’s appearance, she was ranked amongst the top no matter where she went.
As such, she had never lacked suitors.
However, she had lived two lives and had experience in the entertainment industry. The people she interacted with were all good-looking, so it was difficult for her to be stunned or moved by them.
She had rejected many pursuers and gradually, the school knew that she looked like an innocent girl, but was in fact an icy beauty.
After that, many people who wanted to pursue her turned away.
But her senior, Chen Yi, who was an economic management major, pursued her for half a year.
In fact, he had not really wooed her. After all, he had never confessed his feelings to Xia Cha. However, he would bring breakfast for Xia Cha’s roommates every morning, or help them reserve seats in the library. He would also bring her medicine in the middle of the night when she had a fever.
Xia Cha had declined him politely, but Chen Yi was not discouraged. He still enjoyed doing it every day.
Her roommate, Xiaofan, had once told her that she could either accept him or find a boyfriend.
After Xia Cha returned to the capital, she hoped that Huo Heng’s appearance would make Chen Yi give up on the idea of wooing her.
But it soon turned into a two-month-long wait.
In the beginning, Xia Cha had been full of anticipation.
She hoped he would suddenly appear at school, or send her messages and call her.
However, ever since Old Master Huo’s birthday banquet, he seemed to have disappeared from her world.
He did not call or message her at all.
Two months had passed and Xia Cha’s passion and anticipation had been worn away by him.
She even felt a little angry and wronged.
She swore silently that she would never give him another chance, even if he wanted one.
Unlike Huo Heng, who had fallen out of contact, Chen Yi still sent breakfast to Xia Cha’s dormitory every day. Although Xia Cha had never eaten it, he would still send medicine over when Xia Cha’s stomach hurt.
Even her other roommate, Hu Manman, felt that if Xia Cha did not agree to Chen Yi, she would never meet such a good man in the future.
To be honest, Chen Yi was really nice.
But because he was too nice, he did not understand her rejection. If he continued to pester her, it would burden her mentally.
That night.
Xia Cha was lying on her bed with Xiaofan, who was the closest to her in the dormitory.
Xiaofan poked Xia Cha’s fair and smooth face. “What’s wrong with you recently? I feel that you’re not too happy.”
Xia Cha pursed her lips and revealed the doubts in her heart.
“I have a good friend in Harbor City. She knew a man for many years. She did not have any feelings toward that man in the past, but later, many things happened and she couldn’t remain indifferent.”
“A while back, that man said he wanted to pursue my friend, but the man didn’t do anything after saying that.”
Xiaofan burst into laughter. “Your good friend is yourself!”
Xia Cha glared at Xiaofan speechlessly.
Even if she had guessed it, she didn’t have to expose him directly, did she? It was embarrassing!
Xiaofan did not joke with Xia Cha anymore. She turned sideways and looked at Xia Cha. “Someone who can move the famous cold beauty in our school must be very outstanding!”
Xia Cha coughed. “Not bad!”
Xiaofan guessed that Xia Cha was being humble. How could someone she liked only be ‘not bad’?
Just take Chen Yi for example. His appearance was one of the best in their school, and he was gentle and considerate. He was deeply in love with Xia Cha and many girls were jealous of her!
But Xia Cha was not moved at all.
“You haven’t answered me yet!”
Xiaofan cupped her cheeks with both hands, acting like she was an expert in relationships. “This is hard to say. He agreed to pursue you but did not take any action. It might be because he’s not confident in catching you, or it might be because…”
“He probably doesn’t care about you!”
“Impossible!” Xia Cha herself was stunned when she blurted out the words.
How could she be so sure that Huo Heng cared for her?
It had been so long since she had broken up with him. She had even said such harsh words to him when breaking up. She was not a fairy, so why wouldn’t he forget about her?
She had never had a man who could make her feel so uneasy.
“Since that’s impossible, let’s wait a while more!”
Xiaofan’s curiosity was piqued. She really wanted to see what that man, who could make a cold beauty be moved, looked like!
Huo Heng spent two months finishing the projects he had on hand.
During this period, he slept only four hours every night.
When he woke up, he headed straight to work, business trips, and meetings.
It had only been two months, but the Huo Corporation was shocked that he had managed to settle the projects that should have taken half a year.
Old Master Huo was in disbelief.
Old Master Huo called Huo Heng to his office. Seeing his slightly red eyes and slightly thinner face, he was confused. “Why are you working so hard? Do you want to finish half a year of work in such a short time?”
Huo Heng loosened his tie, his long fingers pressing against his temple as he hummed tiredly.
Seeing that he was really going to finish his work for half a year, Old Master Huo was even more confused. “What do you want to do?”
“Go on vacation.”
Old Master Huo was speechless.
“For how long?”
“Three months.” Actually, he had already arranged everything.
Unless it was an emergency, he might stay in the capital for the next three months.
Jian Ming would bring urgent documents to him.
Grandfather Huo looked at Huo Heng’s tired face and seemed to have a guess in his heart. “What are you going to do during your three months off?”
“Grandpa, this is my private matter.”
“Then tell me where are you going?”
“It’s my private matter.”
“Going to chase after a woman?”
“It’s my private matter.”
Given Old Master Huo’s temper back then, he might have thrown an ashtray at the brat’s forehead.
He waved his hand. “Get out!”
Huo Heng got up and left.
When he was at the door, he heard Old Master Huo say, “Three months. Are you sure you can get her?”
Huo Heng turned back and glanced at Old Master Huo. “Grandpa, I find that you’ve become very gossipy recently.”
The Huo Heng from the past would definitely be able to woo her within three months.
But now, he was not hundred percent sure. After all, he would have to face a woman who did not like him.
Huo Heng asked Jian Ming to buy him the earliest flight to the capital.
Huo Heng returned to the villa to take a shower, took his luggage, and headed to the airport.
Since the Huo family had a branch office in the capital, the chauffeur was already waiting at the airport for him.
When they arrived at the capital, Huo Heng checked into a hotel.
He wanted to look for Xia Cha, but when he saw the man with bloodshot eyes in the mirror, he decided to rest first.
The next evening, Huo Heng asked the driver to send him to the entrance of Harbor City University.
It was his first time here.
At the school gate, he got out of the car and entered the school.
He was wearing a blue coat with a custom-made white shirt inside. He was tall and handsome, exuding a dignified aura as he walked on campus.
Many boys and girls looked at him.
He did not send a message to Xia Cha. He knew her major and asked a girl who was passing by. After finding out where the female dormitory was, he walked over.
After the girl who was being asked about had left, she said excitedly to her companion, “Oh my god. He’s so handsome! Is he a celebrity?”
Huo Heng did not care about the gazes on him and walked to the female dormitory.
He took out his phone and called Xia Cha.
But the call did not go through.
Had she blocked him?
Huo Heng frowned slightly.
But then he thought of the reason and his lips twitched.
She had blocked him, which meant that she was a little angry and bothered about him not appearing.
Xia Cha, Xiaofan, and Hu Manman walked toward the dormitory with their books.
When she was about to reach the dormitory, she found that there were many girls standing by the flower bed. They were stretching out their necks and looking at something.
“Did something happen?” Human asked.
“Who knows? They might have seen another handsome man,” Xiaofan said.
“Cha Cha, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I heard that there’s a good buffet restaurant opposite the school. I’ll treat you to it!” Chen Yi rode his bicycle and stopped Xia Cha and her friends.
Xia Cha looked at Chen Yi, who looked expectant. She did not know what to feel. She had been avoiding him recently. Could he not read her mind?
“Senior, I…” Before Xia Cha could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
She seemed to have frozen.
She looked at the figure in disbelief, her eyes widening slightly.
The girls who were looking at Huo Heng all made way for him.
“Oh my god, I told you that a handsome man was here waiting for someone from our dormitory!”
“Thank god you didn’t ask for his contact!”
“I don’t know who he has set his eyes on. If I can get such a handsome man, I would do anything for him in my next life!”
Chen Yi saw that Xia Cha stopped talking halfway and looked shocked. He turned around.
It was as if he was facing an enemy.
