Wu Miao had called up a junior in No.1 Middle School to ask her in detail about Huo Yao after her conversation with Lu Xia. Judging from the things he had told Wu Miao, Lu Xia was not lying about Huo Yao being a famous straight-A student.
She did not anticipate Huo Yao to have such fantastic grades.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at Wu Miao when she detected her gaze while she was chatting with Yin Hai and the others.
Wu Miao had been secretly looking at her all day.
She could tell something was wrong with the way Wu Miao kept looking at her.
Wu Miao contemplated for a few seconds. She glanced at Huo Yao who was wearing a mask and said to her gently, “Oh yes. The live telecast is over and the cameras are off. Even though we have worked on so many episodes together, we have yet to see you with your mask off. It’s the perfect time to show us now.”
It made sense for Huo Yao to refuse to show her face when the cameras were on. However, Wu Miao was making the request in private. If Huo Yao turned Wu Miao down, it would make Huo Yao seem pretentious.
Wu Miao smiled ambiguously.
The atmosphere instantly intensified the moment she finished her sentence.
Yin Hai glanced at Wu Miao and frowned. This young woman was certainly a troublemaker.
If Huo Yao was keen to show her face, she would have done it eons ago. What made Wu Miao think Huo Yao wanted to do it now?
Wu Miao was undoubtedly putting Huo Yao in a spot by asking hard to do it.
Yin Hai paused before he spoke up for Huo Yao. “I think her mysterious aura is pretty good.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at Yin Hai. The veteran actor was a very thoughtful man.
Although Xiao Moling and his brother were equally curious about Huo Yao’s appearance, they could sense how inappropriate Wu Miao’s suggestion was. They stepped forward and agreed with Yin Hai.
Wu Miao could not help feeling annoyed. Were all of them blind? Why did they like someone as pretentious as Huo Yao?
Huo Xiang suddenly sneered. “If my little sister takes off her mask, some people might develop an inferiority complex.”
He was clearly calling Wu Miao ugly.
Since no filming was going on, Huo Xiang did not bother being nice. Also, he could not stand by and watch as they put his little sister in a spot.
Were they fit to see his little sister’s face?
Wu Miao instantly looked utterly embarrassed. For a moment, she bit her lip and did not know what to say.
“Let’s go. Tong is waiting for us outside,” said Huo Yao to Huo Xiang as she put her phone away.
She did not even glance at Wu Miao.
Huo Yao turned to say bye to Yin Hai, Xiao Moling, and the others courteously. “My brother and I will be making a move. After the show is over, we should meet up and have dinner.”
Yin Hai and Xiao Moling instantly knew what she was driving at. They glanced at Shen Si and Wu Miao before they agreed.
Before long, Huo Yao and Huo Xiang left.
Shen Si and Wu Miao were utterly disregarded and felt extremely awkward.
*
Before long, the two of them got into the car angrily.
“Why did you have to lose your cool and make trouble for the country bumpkin? Wasn’t that embarrassing?” said Shen Si angrily as she pressed her forehead.
Shen Si had told Wu Miao repeatedly not to be bothered by Huo Yao. Things finally went smoothly today, but Wu Miao ended up causing trouble and causing embarrassment for the two of them.
Shen Si shook her head. Sometimes, she was really blown away by how stupid her cousin was.
Wu Miao bit her lip. “How was I to know that Yin Hai and the others would leap to Huo Yao’s defense?”
“You idiot,” scolded Shen Si uncontrollably.
She lost all her grace and composure.
Wu Miao knew Shen Si was annoyed, so she kept her mouth shut and did not retort. Instead, she lowered her head to look at her phone.
