Huo Yao nodded as she played with his hand. “Almost.”

Min Yu looked at her and did not stop her. “When are you leaving town?”

“In a couple of days. I want to go back and see Grandma first.” Huo Yao had already made plans to call Old Madam Yang and inform her about it.

Min Yu acknowledged softly. “I will prepare some gifts so that you can take them to her.”

“Sure.” Huo Yao knew her grandmother adored Min Yu, so she did not turn down the offer.

“Let’s eat.” Min Yu squeezed her hand before pulling it back and leaving school.

Meanwhile, Huo Yao’s phone rang in her pocket with a text message notification.

She took out her phone for a look and noticed it was a text message from her senior brother from the Physics department, so she straightened her back and replied to his text message: [I’ve already left school. Yes?]

She recalled accepting a red packet from him, but she did not give him anything yet.

Li Chenhui scratched his head and replied: [Someone helped me at the lift. Was it you?]

Huo Yao had indeed helped someone carrying lots of boxes earlier and she did not expect it to be Li Chenhui: [If you didn’t run into anyone else, then I think it was probably me.]

Li Chenhui found his little junior sister rather humorous: [I wanted to buy you dinner, but I got held up. Do you have time to hang out in a couple of days?]

Huo Yao was getting ready to visit her grandmother, so she reckoned she was not free anytime soon and typed: [Why don’t we do it next year when the term begins?]

Li Chenhui accepted her proposal. He reminded her to call him if ever she needed his help.

Huo Yao could not help feeling puzzled after seeing his text message. She did not understand why he felt she would need his help.

She did not bother to ask though and simply agreed and thanked him for it.

After putting away her phone, Huo Yao looked out of the car window. Her eyes paused for a few seconds at the side mirror. She veered her eyes, looked at Min Yu, and said nonchalantly, “Why are you so popular?”

“Huh?” Min Yu felt puzzled by what Huo Yao said, so he raised his head and glanced at her.

Huo Yao looked into the rearview mirror again, so Min Yu did the same. A few seconds later, he finally caught her drift.

He took out his phone, sent a text message, and told his subordinate to take care of the tail. After he was done sending a text message, he said to Huo Yao, “I’m not sure if I’m popular, but I’m happy enough to know that you like me.”

Huo Yao went speechless.

Ever since he started acting shamelessly, it just grew exponentially worse.

Huo Yao shook her head. She adjusted her posture and placed her hands on the car window. “Sometimes, I really wonder how you managed to survive to such a ripe old age.”

People kept targeting Min Yu.

The moment she brought up his age, Min Yu recalled her older brothers mocking him for the same thing and his face instantly looked annoyed.

He said nothing and simply kept driving with his eyes looking straight ahead.

Huo Yao raised her brow and tutted.

The two of them disregarded the car following them and were quiet.

Before long, the car pulled up in front of the restaurant.

He had already booked a private room, so the waiter came downstairs and showed them to the room on the second floor.

After entering the private room, Min Yu sent the waiter away and told him to give them a minute. The door closed with a thud from behind.

Huo Yao took a couple of steps forward. When she heard the door closing behind her, she instinctively turned to look at the man behind.
