Hearing Huo Yanting's explanation, Su Miao's inner walls began to crumble little by little. She could tell that Huo Yanting had no reason to lie to her, but what had happened?
"What happened that's causing you trouble?" Su Miao couldn't help but ask. Actually, she still cared about him. If his explanation was plausible, she could actually forgive him.
Huo Yanting looked down at her. The woman's eyes were a little red, but her face still showed concern, which made Huo Yanting want to laugh. This woman was clearly worried about him, so why was she still bothered by these trivial things? Did she really have the heart to let him wait for so long at the school gate?
If he doesn't find a way to see her today, will she obsess over it all night? Doesn't she even think of calling him?
"This matter is a bit complicated. You'll find out in a few days. Just focus on your studies these next few days. If any strangers come looking for you, don't go with them," Huo Yanting instructed.
He was afraid that the old man would secretly approach Su Miao, and if Su Miao was unprepared, she would definitely suffer. He knew what kind of person his grandfather was!
"A stranger? Why would a stranger contact me?" Su Miao asked, puzzled.
"Don't worry about these things. Just listen to me. If there's anything you can't handle, remember to call me. I won't ignore you again," Huo Yanting said.
"All right."
"Then... you forgive me?" Huo Yanting leaned closer and asked in Su Miao's ear.
The sudden intimacy caught Su Miao off guard. She pushed Huo Yanting away, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Who forgave you? I won't forgive you so easily for not answering the phone today."
Huo Yanting chuckled. Judging from her expression, she didn't care. But if that's what she wanted to say, then so be it.
"Then what do you want in return for your forgiveness? I'll do anything you ask!" Huo Yanting unconditionally forgave her! After all, it was indeed his fault in this matter!
Su Miao's eyes darted around quickly. "Hmm... I'm punishing you by making you treat my roommate to two big meals. Also, you have to set my ringtone to something special and you're not allowed to ignore my calls anymore. And... take me out to eat now, I'm hungry."
Su Miao was indeed hungry. She hadn't eaten much at the restaurant with Deng Jiajia and the others today because of Huo Yanting, and she had been feeling depressed ever since she got back. She hadn't even eaten dinner while lying in bed, and now her stomach was growling loudly.
"Hmm? You didn't eat dinner?" Hearing this, Huo Yanting frowned. Does this girl even know how to take care of herself? She didn't even eat?
Feeling a little guilty under Huo Yanting's gaze, she said, "Yes, I was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat."
Sometimes people's emotions are like that; when they're in a bad mood, they don't want to eat, but when they're in a good mood, they really want to eat.
So now that Su Miao's worries were relieved, she naturally started to feel hungry.
"I'm sorry, I'll take you to eat something delicious now." A hint of guilt flashed in Huo Yanting's eyes as he immediately pulled Su Miao away from the office.
Su Miao followed Huo Yanting as they walked through the school campus and left the school.
"Huo Yanting, where is your alma mater?" Su Miao couldn't help but ask on the way. She felt that Huo Yanting was so amazing, his alma mater must also be a very prestigious school.
"Why are you asking this?" Huo Yanting asked curiously, wondering why Su Miao suddenly brought this up.
"I want to know, I want to know more about you," Su Miao replied with a smile.
Huo Yanting smiled. Since she wanted to know, he would answer her and satisfy her curiosity. He hoped she wouldn't feel inferior.
"I am a Harvard University PhD graduate, and I graduated from Harvard at the age of 24." Huo Yanting still felt a little proud when he talked about this.
"Huh? Harvard?" Su Miao's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that Huo Yanting was from such a prestigious university, and even a PhD graduate.
As expected, these big shots are all unattainable!
