Huo Yao came out of the campus after school in the afternoon.
Ablack car pulled up by the roadside, a few minutes in advance as usual. Huo Yao opened the car door and got into the front passenger seat.
Huo Yao looked sideways at the man who wanted to race her while putting on her seat belt. She had been thinking about this all day and could not wrap her mind around it. She finally asked him. “Did you mean what you said this morning?”
Min Yu acknowledged her softly after he started the engine and moved the steering wheel.
Huo Yao touched her nose. “Why do you want to race with me?”
‘When they got to the main road, Min Yu finally raised his head and glanced at Huo Yao. He did not know how to describe his emotions when he saw the puzzled look on her face. In the end, he answered mildly. “Why don’t you think about it yourself?”
Huo Yao was dumbfounded.
Why her? Why was he making it sound as though she was unfaithful to him?
She had done nothing of the sort!
Huo Yao kept trying to squeeze it out of him on the way, but the man in the driver’s seat simply ignored her.
Huo Yao initially did not feel anything amiss. However, slowly, even she was starting to suspect if she had done him injustice, and simply forgot about it.
Before long, the car pulled up at a members-only restaurant.
‘There were already several tables of patrons on the ground floor. Since Min Yu had booked a private room, he pulled Huo Yao’s hand and went upstairs.
Ji Ya was leaning against the window chatting when she looked up and saw Min Yu entering the hall. She automatically paused and looked surprised at the sight of him.
She did not expect to see him here.
Ji Ya quickly noticed a girl walking beside Min Yu.
Since Ji Ya could only see Huo Yao’s profile, she could not make out the girl’s features clearly. However, she could definitely see them holding hands.
Ji Ya was briefly shocked. She inadvertently bumped into the teacup beside her in her daze. Since the teacup was full, its contents promptly spilled onto the table and some of it even landed on her leg.
Ji Ya snapped out of her thoughts when she sensed the heat on her calf. She hurriedly stood up and took some tissue to dry herself.
Ji Ya’s friends sitting across from her quickly got up and asked if she was alright. Ji Ya smiled and shook her head. Then, she called the waiter over to clear the mess before taking a seat.
Ji Ya’s friends continued chatting, but she kept holding her cup distractedly and only answered them occasionally.
She kept thinking about the scene she had just witnessed.

After Min Yu went into the private room on the second floor, he kept talking on the phone. Huo Yao looked at him before calling the waiter over to order some food.
Huo Yao took out her phone as well after the waiter left. Just as she was about to play, she received a text message.
It was from her online friend Don’t Steal My Lingzhi.
[Are you there?]
Huo Yao raised her brow and posed a text message: [Nope.]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi replied: [You certainly have quite a sense of humor.]
Huo Yao said: (Thanks. What do you want?)
Fu Ya bit her lip as she held her phone. After posing a text message, she felt it was inappropriate and quickly deleted it. She posed another text message, but still felt it was off and deleted it again.
Huo Yao looked at the dialog box. She could see Fu Ya taking a few minutes to pose a text message. Huo Yao’s face twitched. Was she writing a position or something?
After watching Fu Ya pose for nearly five minutes, it finally came to a halt.
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi said: [I want to buy medicine from you…]
Huo Yao saw the text message and replied: [Is that all?]
