Huo Minxue left his workplace, unsure of where to go.
It's a bit too early to go home at this time. He usually works overtime and comes home late, and rarely goes home early.
To avoid worrying his family, he planned to walk around outside before going home.
But as he wandered around, he found himself on the street where Ruan Wushuang's shop was located.
This street mainly sells furniture, and there isn't much foot traffic. Huo Minxue's gaze was immediately drawn to a red figure across the street.
Ruan Wushuang, wearing a long red dress, was squatting in front of her shop playing with her kitten.
The kitten's spirits have improved a lot, but it's still tiny, constantly flapping its short legs to reach the cat toy in Ruan Wu's hands.
The evening glow bathed the man and his cat, creating a beautiful scene that seemed to juxtapose with the street.
Huo Minxue's previously somewhat agitated mood gradually calmed down, and a certain spot in his chest felt incredibly soft.
While Ruan Wushuang was happily playing with the kitten, she noticed a somewhat familiar gaze. She subconsciously looked up, but there was no one on the opposite street corner.
Ruan Wushuang didn't pay much attention, only wondering if she was imagining things, and continued to paw at the kitten on the ground.
Seeing its white belly showing, I laughed even harder.
Meanwhile, Huo Minxue, his heart pounding, hid in a nearby alley.
But he soon realized that he had no reason to hide at all.
He had nothing to hide, so why did he instinctively hide the moment Ruan Wushuang looked over?
A feeling Huo Minxue had never experienced before welled up inside him, and he turned and quickly left.
"..."
the next day.
Huo Minxue arrived at work a little late and noticed several pairs of eyes on him.
Huo Minxue didn't pay much attention to it, wondering if it was because he left early yesterday and was late today. In addition, he was exceptionally focused when doing experiments, so he put the matter out of his mind.
However, in the following days, Huo Minxue felt that such gazes were increasing.
Even at lunchtime, the cafeteria ladies looked at him with a different expression.
He only managed to scoop out two pieces of meat with one spoon, but when he saw him, his hand trembled, and the two pieces of meat fell back into the pot.
Huo Minxue: "..."
Huo Minxue was puzzled. Could it be that even the cafeteria lady knew he left early and arrived late?
After finishing his meal, Huo Minxue looked puzzled and prepared to return to his post to continue working, but before he could sit down, a hand patted his shoulder.
Huo Minxue subconsciously turned around; it was his teacher.
“Teacher.” Huo Minxue immediately stood up.
"Come with me for a moment," Wu Xingchao said softly.
"good."
Huo Minxue followed Wu Xingchao to his office.
"Close the door," Wu Xingchao gestured to Huo Minxue.
To avoid suspicion, Wu Xingchao usually doesn't close his office door unless it's something particularly important.
Now that he's taken the initiative to speak, it seems he has something rather private to say to him.
Huo Minxue closed the door before walking back to Wu Xingchao's side.
"Teacher, is there a problem with the lab?" Huo Minxue asked earnestly.
