Min Yu ignored the look in her eyes. He walked over and cleared the table unhurriedly as he said, “You can take a nap on the couch.”
This was the university director’s office. Min Yu enjoyed a high status and his family had donated two laboratory buildings to the university. Hence, arrangements had been made so that he could use the best office during his time here.
Even the carpet and couch were brand new.
Huo Yao yawned and was not shy about it at all. She got up and walked over to the three-seater couch and settled down. However, she did not lie down and simply leaned against its armrest sideways.
After clearing the coffee table, Min Yu raised his head and heard Huo Yao’s even breathing coming from the couch. He went to the side to retrieve a thin blanket from a paper bag.
He walked up in front of Huo Yao and gently covered her with the blanket. Since she was leaning on her arm sideways, some of her hair had scattered over her face. She had flawless skin and it felt as though time had stopped while she slept.
Min Yu leaned forward slightly, but his hand froze in mid-air as he gazed at Huo Yao’s face. After some time, he curled his fingers slightly and did not continue doing anything to her. Instead, he quickly straightened his body before going to sit down behind the desk.
Min Yu took out his phone and sent a text message telling his subordinate to take his time and not to interrupt him.
Min Yu turned off the computer and walked over to wake Huo Yao up at 1:30 pm.
Huo Yao had genuinely fallen asleep. The moment she opened her eyes, they looked drowsy. She glanced at the time and quickly woke up.
The blanket slid off her body when she sat up. Huo Yao placed it by the side before she stood up and looked at Min Yu. “I have to go.”
She had to report to the field at 2:00 pm.
Min Yu nodded and handed her a rectangular box.
The box was unlabeled. Huo Yao glanced at it and asked without opening it. “What’s inside?”
Min Yu’s eyes landed on her face. Her snow-white skin was slightly pink because she had just woken up. He cleared his throat and answered. “It’s just sunblock.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Although I already have sunblock, I appreciate it.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she took her cap from the couch and waved to Min Yu. “See you.”
Min Yu watched from behind until she was out of sight before he finally veered his eyes. He folded the blanket and placed it back into the paper bag.

After Huo Yao left the office, she headed back to the dormitory. Since she was only temporarily staying here for the military camp, she did not have a key, so she had to call Yuan Xi to let her in.
Before long, Yuan Xi opened the dormitory door. “Are you all done?”
Huo Yao acknowledged softly before entering the dormitory.
The three other roommates were also present. The moment Huo Yao entered the room, they nodded at her perfunctorily before continuing to chat among themselves.
From the looks of it, they were rather cold towards Huo Yao.
But Huo Yao could not be bothered by how they felt about her.
She walked up to her bed and sat down before opening the box in her hand and saw a bottle of unlabeled sunblock inside. She opened its cap and raised her brow after taking a whiff.
The contents of the sunblock were exactly the same as the bottle which her third older brother had given her.
From the looks of it, they came from the same source.
Yuan Xi sat down in a chair and placed both her arms over the chair’s backrest as she looked at what Huo Yao was holding. “Is that sunblock?
Yuan Xi was speaking at a normal volume, so the three other roommates heard what she said as well and turned to look at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao nodded. She glanced at Yuan Xi’s face and raised her brow as she asked. “I will give you one more chance. Do you want to use some?”
