On this end.
Mu Qing and Jiang Mingyue had come into the canteen with some other friends and were ordering their food. After they received their food trays, they tried to find a seat, but the canteen was very crowded at this hour.
Jiang Mingyue glanced around and noticed a few empty seats, so she said, “Mu Qing, let’s go over there.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Mingyue choked when she saw Huo Yao sitting there.
She frowned. This was absolutely annoying. Why did she keep bumping into Huo Yao everywhere?
There was simply no escaping Huo Yao.
Mu Qing looked at Jiang Mingyue quizzically when she suddenly stopped talking. He caught her looking in a particular direction, so he looked there as well.
Since Huo Yao was a stunning girl, and had an elegant aura, it was hard to forget her.
Mu Qing glanced over and spotted her right away. He could not help feeling surprised to see her. He recalled that she had guaranteed placement at Tsing University, so his expression quickly went back to normal.
He only cared about research and rarely got distracted, including the top scholar for the national college entrance exam.
Thanks to their brief encounter at No.1 Middle School, Mu Qing had a rather good impression of Huo Yao. Also, Principal Yu had asked them to help take care of Huo Yao, so he said to Jiang Mingyue, “I think it’s Huo Yao. Shall we go over and say hi?”
Jiang Mingyue was not keen on seeing Huo Yao. The sight of Huo Yao made her annoyed.
Since Mu Qing was around, she could not blatantly show her disdain. Moreover, she had something to ask him over lunch. After pondering briefly, she nodded. “Sure. Let’s go say hi. It just so happens there are empty seats over there.”
Mu Qing acknowledged her softly before they headed towards Huo Yao and Yuan Xi.
**
Yuan Xi wanted to ask Huo Yao if she knew Mu Qing and Jiang Mingyue when she saw them walking over. She automatically tightened her grip on her chopsticks and said softly, “I think they are coming towards us.”
Huo Yao was not interested in Mu Qing and Jiang Mingyue. She simply glanced sideways at Yuan Xi without saying a word.
After Mu Qing and Jiang Mingyue walked over, Mu Qing was the first to greet Huo Yao. He smiled as he said, “Hi, Huo Yao.”
Jiang Mingyue simply glanced at Huo Yao and nodded distantly before she pulled out an empty seat and placed her food on the table.
“Hi, Mu Qing,” greeted Huo Yao courteously.
Mu Qing nodded and pulled out a chair and took a seat as well. He glanced at Yuan Xi and asked out of courtesy. “And you are?”
Yuan Xi was stunned to see Mu Qing sitting right in front of her, and was still in a state of shock.
Mu Qing was one of the top five legends at school and a campus heartthrob!
Huo Yao shook her head when she caught Yuan Xi in a daze and answered. “She is my classmate from the same division, Yuan Xi.”
Mu Qing introduced himself briefly before he turned to look at Huo Yao. “We did not manage to exchange numbers when we met at No.1 Middle School, so I didn’t get the chance to ask what faculty you signed up for.”
“Bioinformatics,” answered Huo Yao before lowering her eyes to check the time.
“Biology?” Mu Qing turned to look at Jiang Mingyue. “If you are in Biology, doesn’t it mean you are in the same faculty as Ming Yue?”
Jiang Mingyue had not spoken much throughout the conversation. Now that Mu Qing had brought this up, what else could she say? She simply nodded. “Although we are in the same faculty, we are not in the same…”
Huo Yao stood up before she could finish her sentence. “Enjoy your lunch, guys. I have to go.”
