Meanwhile, it was dinner time at school.
Huo Yao put down her chopsticks. After she had her fill, she leaned against the couch lazily, looked at Min Yu, and commended. “Your chef is very good.”
During the military training, she was unable to say no to the tempting food he brought. She almost did not eat at the canteen the entire time.
Min Yu raised his brow. As he cleared the table, he said coolly, “If you like it, you are welcome to eat at my place anytime.”
Huo Yao raised her hand to touch her face and said solemnly, “Thanks for the invite.”
Everyone else lost lots of weight during military training. She was probably the only person who had put on weight.
This was simply awkward.
Min Yu smiled. Before he could continue, his phone rang from beside him. His hands halted when he glanced at the phone and saw the caller ID. He said to Huo Yao, “Let me answer this.”
Huo Yao waved her hand and started clearing the table.
Min Yu walked to the side before he clicked on the button to answer. He heard his mother over the phone. “I heard your uncle say you are seeing someone.”
Min Yu turned to glance at Huo Yao before looking away unhurriedly. He said softly, “Then you probably heard nothing’s official yet.”
Mrs. Min stopped flipping through her book. She raised her brow slightly and said teasingly, “Does this mean she doesn’t like you yet?”
Min Yu went quiet.
“Do you have a picture of her? Send it over so I can take a look,” asked Mrs. Min after clearing her throat.
“No, I don’t. Don’t even think about it. I am hanging up,” answered Min Yu expressionlessly before hanging up the phone.
Mrs. Min wanted to say more, but she was stunned into silence.
This stupid boy!
Mrs. Min angrily called back, but all she got was a mechanical recording informing her he was unavailable to answer the phone.
This recording was not new to her.
Every time she got blacklisted, she would get this notification whenever she dialled her son.
Mrs. Min cursed in her heart the moment she heard the familiar voice.
Min Yu put away his phone and went to sit back down on the couch. He looked at Huo Yao’s cool and fair face. Despite undergoing over ten days of military training, her skin was completely unscathed.
Min Yu thought about Madam Nie’s request for a photo before he gathered his thoughts and said randomly, “Oh yes. How was target practice today?”
Huo Yao lazily wiped her hands with a piece of tissue before she nodded humbly. “So so, but I think I ought to pass.”
Min Yu smiled ambiguously. He did not believe her when she said her results were so so. After all, her average results always ended up being mind-blowing.
Huo Yao crushed the tissue paper and tossed it into the bin nearby. She checked the time and stood up. “I have to get back to the dorm. There is a performance tonight.”
The sky outside had started to turn dark. Min Yu looked out of the window and nodded. “Sure.”
He paused before he raised his brow and asked. “Are you performing?”
“Do I have nothing better to do?” Huo Yao waved her hand. She took her cap and put it on before leaving the office quickly.
Min Yu smiled.

Since there were hardly any students in the administration block, Huo Yao did not have to worry about getting spotted. However, it was some distance from the female dormitory.
She finally arrived at the dormitory 15 minutes later.
Everyone was already present there. Jiang Hua, Tang Ruyu, and the other roommate were still having dinner and were happily chatting. The moment Huo Yao entered the room, the chatting stopped abruptly and the smiles on their faces automatically disappeared.
