Chapter 948: Closer
Huo Yao straightened her back with her eyes on the LCD screen in front as she answered modestly. “Not really. After all, I am just a vulnerable young woman.”
Min Yu’s lips twitched slightly. He glanced at the back of her hand through the corner of his eye. He was familiar with injuries incurred owing to physical overexertion. Or else, he might have bought her words.
“Why did Song Zhi want to see you?” asked Min Yu without exposing her.
“I do not know who Song Zhi is. However, my mother’s family name is Song, so she is probably related to the Song family.” Huo Yao shrugged without even asking how he knew about it.
The moment Min Yu heard what she said, he was caught by surprise. He did not expect her to be related to the Song family. In that case, it made sense that she was able to escape unscathed.
Huo Yao raised her hand and glanced at her watch. She recalled that Chen Ming did not manage to pick her up at school and must be waiting for her, so she stood up and said, “I have to get back now.”
Her third older brother had probably found out that Chen Ming was unable to pick her up at school.
Min Yu pondered before he nodded and stood up as well. “Let me walk you back.”
Huo Yao glanced at him. In the end, she did not turn down his offer and simply acknowledged gently.
The two of them were living nearby and their places were just 100 to 200 meters apart, so Min Yu walked her home without taking the car.
After Huo Yao placed her finger on the lock and opened the door, she turned to look at him. “Thank you.”
Min Yu raised his brow. “Considering our ties, you don’t have to thank me.”
“Huh!” Huo Yao looked at him sideways with her beautiful eyes lazily.
Min Yu smiled as he raised his hand to squeeze her ear lobe nonchalantly.
Huo Yao went quiet as she pondered over his actions. She felt he was flirting with her.
“Goodnight.” Min Yu watched as Huo Yao went stiff. The moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave.
His cool silhouette gradually disappeared into the distance before he completely disappeared into the night.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and veered her eyes. Just as she was about to enter through the gate, she raised her head and saw Huo Yulin walking out. She was briefly stunned, and quickly put her injured hand behind her and greeted him before closing the gate.
Huo Yulin scrutinized her carefully. Since she was fine, he finally felt relieved.
When he learned of what happened from Chen Ming, he did not dare imagine what his little sister might have encountered.
The two of them entered the villa one after another. Huo Yulin wanted to ask Huo Yao about the events that had transpired at the Song residence, but he was interrupted.
“Brother Yulin, I have something to show you.”
The moment Huo Yao finished her sentence, she opened her backpack and took out the computer she had borrowed from Prof Zhao, and turned it on.
Huo Yulin opened his mouth in surprise. The moment he saw the computer, he was stunned. “Is this a biological computer?”
Huo Yao nodded. “My professor lent it to me. This is probably the best one available in the country.”
She tapped on the keyboard as she spoke. Biological computers were all about the fusion between computers and the human brain. This biological computer’s simulation of the human brain was starting to take shape.
Huo Yulin was all eyes on the computer and he automatically sat beside Huo Yao.
Huo Yao glanced at the data saved on the computer. Since there was nothing confidential on the computer, she handed it to Huo Yulin.
She knew that he would be very interested in it.
Huo Yulin glanced at the computer before he raised his head and looked at his little sister. “Are you sure it’s okay? I’m sure there is some confidential data on the computer.”
Huo Yao smiled. “It’s okay. Since the computer is available for loan, there is nothing confidential on it.”
Otherwise, Prof Zhao wouldn’t have lent her the computer today. Huo Yao knew this fully well.
