Huo Yao picked up her phone and glanced at it before rejecting the call.
Most people went to the library to read and automatically stayed quiet.
Huo Yao tapped on WeChat and swiped down to her chat with Min Yu and texted: [Yes?]
Min Yu was in the car. After he read the text, he composed a message: [Yang Yi said you were looking for me this afternoon.]
Huo Yao did not expect Yang Yi to tell Min Yu about it since she had merely asked casually.
She replied: [I did, but it’s fine now.]
Min Yu adjusted his posture and texted with his left arm leaning against the car door: [Are you at home?]
[I’m in the library in the city.]
Huo Yao checked the time and stood up after she sent her message.
She gathered the psychology books on the table before she put them back where they belonged.
The librarian in charge of the zone took notice of Huo Yao because she was good-looking. He was dumbstruck after she placed the books back.
He did not expect a visitor to be capable of placing so many books back to their shelf location without error. Even librarians were incapable of doing it by memory, but this young woman did so with ease. The librarian could not help looking impressed.
Her memory was absolutely fantastic.
After Huo Yao put the books away, she walked to the escalator. She took out her phone again to check her messages while going down.
Min Yu: [I happen to be in the area. What a lift?]
Since there was a free ride, Huo Yao replied without hesitation: [Okay.]
Min Yu: [Be there in about ten minutes.]
Huo Yao put her phone away and headed downstairs to the bathroom.

In the car ten minutes later.
“Didn’t you go for an ad shoot today? How did you end up at the library?” asked Min Yu as he looked sideways at Huo Yao.
“I did. I spent the afternoon in the library after it wrapped up. Also, I went to help my friend check on a few books.” Huo Yao drew circles on the window languidly.
Min Yu’s eyes looked profound as he replied casually. “Was it Old Mr. Yi’s grandson?”
Huo Yao nodded. “Yup.”
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and looked preoccupied before he asked again. “Are you two close?”
There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Zhuo Yun furtively glanced at the rearview mirror as he drove up front.
His boss was not the sort who was keen on gossip.
Huo Yao failed to detect anything amiss and replied. “We’re okay. We participated in a contest together previously.”
It sounded like there was a sense of comradeship between them. Zhuo Yun contemplated in his heart.
He observed his boss’s reaction through the rearview mirror and tutted in his heart before he casually interrupted. “Old Mr. Yi’s grandson looks promising. Since he’s quite good-looking, I’m sure he’s very popular in school, right?”
Min Yu raised his head and glanced at Zhuo Yun calmly.
Huo Yao leaned back into the seat and replied. “Maybe. I never took notice.”
Zhuo Yun was unsurprised by the answer. After all, she was a tomboy at heart and was not interested in guys.
His boss’s jealousy was destined to remain unreciprocated.
Zhuo Yun coughed before he changed the subject. “Oh yes. What kind of security system did you install at your place?”
