Huo Yao sat down at the canteen table after taking her food. When she saw the text message from Chairman Wang’s disciple, she did not take it to heart. Instead, she sent an okay emoticon to He Shu and put the phone away.
Yuan Xi noticed that Huo Yao was no longer using her phone, so she asked curiously while eating. “Where have you been going to, in the afternoon? I noticed that you even skipped a couple of classes.”
Huo Yao had cut classes because of the research project previously, so she said, “The teacher wanted to see me.”
Yuan Xi nodded. “I see. No wonder then.”
She knew very well that Huo Yao was a diligent model student. Since Huo Yao loved studying, it was unlikely for her to cut classes.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao without going into detail.
“Oh yes. Shall we go to the library after lunch?” Yuan Xi raised her head and asked.
Yuan Xi’s roommates kept gossiping about Huo Yao all the time, so she found it very annoying. Since Huo Yao Was planning to head to the library, she agreed right away.
Yuan Xi smiled and continued eating.
Her phone vibrated in her bag, so she took it out. The moment she saw the caller ID, the smile on her face disappeared instantly as she held her phone tightly. Huo Yao glanced at Yuan Xi. “What’s wrong?”
Yuan Xi smiled sheepishly and hung up altogether. “Nothing. Just a scammer.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. It certainly did not seem like a call from a scammer, but Huo Yao did not probe her.
After Yuan Xi hung up the phone, she placed her phone on the table and clearly seemed distracted during lunch. Fortunately, her phone stopped ringing, so she felt slightly relieved.
The two of them walked over to the school library unhurriedly after lunch.
Since it was in the afternoon, the library was quite empty. Other than a few random people sitting around, it was very quiet.
Yuan Xi found herself a couple of books and went to sit near the window. When she saw the books Huo Yao had picked out for herself, she promptly sighed in envy.
Was it not enough for Yuan Xi to feel depressed about her studies in class? Did Huo Yao have to continue making her feel bad in the library as well?
Yuan Xi lay prone on the desk miserably with her arm hugging her book.
Huo Yao glanced at Yuan Xi, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Yuan Xi promptly realized something. She leaned toward Huo Yao and asked softly. “Yao, isn’t that a Physics book?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao as she flipped through the book.
Yuan Xi scratched her head. She recalled Huo Yao often writing complicated equations in class, so a bold notion emerged in her mind. “Don’t tell me you plan on taking a second major?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Kind of.”
Yuan Xi shook her head upon hearing this. “I haven’t even wrapped my mind around my major, but you are already preparing to take on your second major. Sigh. I feel so sad.”
Huo Yao smiled without saying a word.
After lunch, Wang Jing also came over to the library. She spent some time checking the shelves before finding the books she wanted. Just as she was about to head over to the seating area, she saw Huo Yao sitting in the third row from the window.
Her eyes lit up and she headed over.
“Oh, Yao.” Wang Jing walked over and sat down beside Huo Yao.
Huo Yao raised her head in surprise when she heard the voice. “Hi, Wang Jing.”
“I did not expect to see you at the library.” Wang Jing raised her brow and turned to look at Yuan Xi sitting across from her and asked. “Is she your friend? Is she from our department as well?”
