Chapter 1116 Avoid Contact with Yuan Huan
Yuan Xi was so focused on getting Huo Yao out of the way that she didn't notice her movements. She just looked at her and asked again, "Is it okay?"
Huo Yao loosened her fingers and said nothing. Instead, she looked in the direction she had just looked and saw two people standing in the corridor.
Coincidentally, the two knew each other.
Huo Yao retracted his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yuan Xi, and asked: "What is your relationship with Yuan Huan?"
Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and instead of answering, she asked, "Do you know him?"
"There is a research project in the department, and Yuan Huan is an invited foreign teacher." Huo Yao said simply.
The name I heard just now in the library was indeed none other than Mr.
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Huan who was already walking towards her. She paused and then whispered back, "He is my eldest brother."
Huo Yao had actually guessed it, and glanced at her face thoughtfully, "You two don't have a good relationship?"
Yuan Xi twitched the corners of his lips, "We are half-siblings with the same father."
Half brothers and sisters never get along well with each other, and this is the true portrayal of many reconstituted families.
Huo Yao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Yuan Huan had already approached. Seeing this, Yuan Xi subconsciously took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Yao. She looked at Yuan Huan and asked first, "Why are you here?"
Yuan Huan seemed to have long been accustomed to his sister's thorny defense. His eyes were deep, but his voice was gentle, "I called you, but you didn't answer."
Yuan Xi frowned. She didn't believe that Yuan Huan hadn't seen the WeChat message she sent earlier, but it was not a good time to expose him at this time. She said directly: "My phone was on silent mode, so he might not have noticed. Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Yuan Huan glanced at her indifferently.
Suddenly, Yuan Xi felt a chill down his spine, as if all the thorns in his body had been plucked out by this look. Some words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
Yuan Huan cast his gaze on Huo Yao's face and gave him a polite smile, "Xiao Huo."
Huo Yao looked calm. He nodded politely and called out "Teacher Yuan".
"I didn't expect that you and Xiaoxi would be classmates who know each other." Yuan Huan's voice sounded a little surprised.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi, who was standing next to him, pinched her fingertips and felt even more irritated.
Huo Yao hummed, "What a coincidence."
Yuan Huan pursed his lips, and didn't talk much with Huo Yao. 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 stunned.
"I'll wait for you at the school gate in the afternoon. Come out directly after class." After Yuan Huan said this, 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 her clenched fingers loosened. Only then did she realize that her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Yuan Xi exhaled, and soon she raised her head and looked at Huo Yao, her eyes full of seriousness, "Sister Yao, try to avoid contact with my eldest brother in the future. He... is actually not as gentle and elegant as he looks."
"Yeah, I know." Huo Yao responded softly, "Do you still want me to help you get something?"
"What do you want to take?" Yuan Xi was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, turned and walked towards the teaching building.
