Chapter 1115 Yuan XI b.u.mps Into Yuan Huan
Huo Yao nodded. “Uh huh.”
w.a.n.g Jing promptly introduced herself to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi quickly did the same as she straightened herself in the chair.
“This is an unusual surname. One of our guidance teachers happens to go by the surname Yuan as well.” w.a.n.g Jing smiled and replied when she recalled this. Yuan Xi did not see this coming. “It’s not as rare as you think.”
“Uh huh.” After w.a.n.g Jing and Yuan Xi chatted briefly, she looked sideways at Huo Yao sitting beside her. She was stunned when she saw the book Huo Yao was reading.
Then again, Huo Yao was great at Math, so it made sense for her to read Physics books.
w.a.n.g Jing snapped out of her surprise quickly. She recalled the messages she saw in the group chat earlier and said to Huo Yao, “Yao, have you seen the group chat?”
Huo Yao raised her head. She had set the chat group to ‘do not disturb’ mode. “Nope. What’s
up?”
“Nothing really. Just that Mr. Yuan mentioned coming over in the afternoon.” Since w.a.n.g Jing knew Huo Yao was not a fan of Yuan Huan, she told her about it.
Huo Yao promptly stopped flipping through the book. Her face remained calm and she said, “Okay.”
“Why don’t you just don’t come to the lab this afternoon? Considering your efficiency, I am sure you do not need as much time as us,” said w.a.n.g Jing sadly. Huo Yao shook her head. “I’m good. Thanks.”
“Welcome.” w.a.n.g Jing smiled without speaking further. She proceeded to lower her head and went back to reading.
Neither of them noticed the change in Yuan Xi when they mentioned Yuan Huan.
She was not sure if w.a.n.g Jing was talking about her older brother, but it was rare for someone to have the same first and last name.
Yuan Xi raised her head and glanced at w.a.n.g Jing and Huo Yao. Her lips parted wanting to speak. Since the two of them were engrossed in their books, she swallowed her words.
Yuan Xi gave up reading since she was in no mood. She took out her phone, tapped on the screen, and opened WeChat to send her older brother a text message. However, he did not reply after a long time, so Yuan Xi put away her phone angrily.
The three of them finally left the library after spending some time there.
After leaving the library, w.a.n.g Jing wanted to go back to the dormitory, so she went separate ways with Huo Yao and Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi was preoccupied, so she was distracted even when she was walking. She nearly missed her footing twice when she went down some steps. Fortunately, Huo Yao was there to help support her.
“Is there something on your mind?” Huo Yao glanced at Yuan Xi and asked.
Yuan Xi lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head. “Nothing.”
“If you have any problems, you can tell me.” Huo Yao did not continue asking Yuan Xi and stopped there.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Yuan Xi softly.
The two went back to the Biology department. When they got to the cla.s.sroom, they saw two people standing in the corridor. Yuan Xi automatically halted when she saw one of them.
What was her older brother doing here?
Did he come to see her?
Yuan Xi pulled out her phone and checked it. There were no missed calls or new messages.
Yuan Huan and Mu Qing were chatting when Yuan Huan detected someone’s presence. He raised his head and looked over. His face looked refined.
Only Yuan Xi alone knew how cold and heartless her older brother truly was inside.
Yuan Xi suddenly pulled Huo Yao’s arm and stopped her. She hurriedly made an excuse. “Huo Yao, my stomach hurts. I think my period is coming. Can you go to the dorm and get me some pads?”
Huo Yao halted in her steps. She looked sideways at Yuan Xi and raised her brow when she saw how pale she looked, so she held Yuan Xi’s wrist to check her pulse.
