Yuan Xi devoted all his attention to pushing Huo Yao away, so he didn't pay attention to her movements, just looked at her and asked again: "Is it okay?"
Huo Yao let go of her fingers, didn't speak, but followed the direction she was looking at, and saw two people standing in the corridor.
Coincidentally, both of them knew each other.
Huo Yao withdrew his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yuan Xi, and asked, "What's your relationship with Yuan Huan?"
Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know him?"
"There is a research project in the department, and Yuan Huan is a foreign teacher invited here." Huo Yao said simply.
Just now in the library, the name I heard was really not someone else.
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Huan who had already walked towards her, she paused, then whispered back: "He is my elder brother."
Huo Yao had already guessed it, and glanced at her face thoughtfully, "You two are not on good terms?"
The corners of Yuan Xi's lips twitched, "We are half brothers and sisters."
Half-brothers and sisters have never been too harmonious. This is a true portrayal of many reorganized families.
Huo Yao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Yuan Huan was already approaching. Seeing this, Yuan Xi subconsciously took two steps forward, stood in front of Huo Yao, looked at Yuan Huan, and asked first, "Why are you here?"
Yuan Huan seemed to have long been used to this younger sister's prickly defense, his eyes were deep, but his voice was very gentle, "I called you, but you didn't answer."
Yuan Xi frowned, she didn't believe that Yuan Huan didn't see the wechat she sent before, but it was hard to expose him at this time, and said directly: "My phone is on silent, maybe I didn't notice, what do you need from me? "
Yuan Huan glanced at her lightly.
Suddenly, Yuan Xi only felt a chill down his back, as if the thorns all over his body had been pulled out by this look, and some words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Yuan Huan set his gaze on Huo Yao's face, and smiled politely, "Xiao Huo."
Huo Yao looked calm, nodded politely, and called Teacher Shengyuan.
"I didn't expect you and Xiao Xi to be classmates." Yuan Huan sounded a little surprised.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi pinched his fingertips, and the irritability in his heart became stronger.
Huo Yao hummed, "It's a coincidence."
Yuan Huan pursed his lips, and didn't talk to Huo Yao much. He looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Go home tonight."
"No." Yuan Xi resisted subconsciously.
"Today is Dad's birthday." Yuan Huan said.
Yuan Xi was startled.
"I'll wait for you at the school gate in the afternoon. You can come out directly after class." After Yuan Huan finished speaking, he nodded to Huo Yao, and without waiting for Yuan Xi to speak, he waved to Mu Qing who was standing not far away.
Seeing this, Mu Qing followed. He knew Huo Yao, so he just glanced at her, nodded politely, and left with Yuan Huan.
After the people left, Yuan Xi came back to her senses, her tense nerves relaxed a little, and she let go of her pinched fingers. Only then did she realize that her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Yuan Xi let out a breath, and soon she raised her head and looked at Huo Yao with a serious look in her eyes, "Sister Yao, try to avoid contacting my elder brother as much as possible in the future, he...in fact, he is not as gentle and refined as he looks on the outside."
"Well, I know." Huo Yao responded lightly, "Do you want me to help you get something?"
"What are you taking?" Yuan Xi froze for a moment, but hadn't reacted yet.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.
