Chapter 970 It Has Become a Habit
Huo Yao, who had not heard Lei Xiao's voice for a long time, finished the last step in his hand, held the A4 paper in the air, and aimed it at the camera of the mobile phone on the coffee table.
Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw that except for the camera on her side in the upper right corner of the phone screen, the other party's screen was black.
Huo Yao: “?”
At this moment, Min Yu's hand reached out from behind. Huo Yao reflexively moved to the side, only then did he realize that there was someone sitting behind him.
Huo Yao was slightly stunned. How could she not even notice when this guy came?
Then her eyes moved to Min Yu's hand. There was only one apple left in the fruit plate.
Huo Yao seemed to have finally come to his senses. He silently withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to press his brow. He didn't know whether to praise himself for being so focused on his work, or to comment on how he had become so accustomed to a person's breath that he didn't even notice it.
At this moment, a heavy cough was heard from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the creaking sound of a chair being dragged.
Huo Yao put down the hand that was pressing on his forehead without saying anything, and quickly hung up the video call on the coffee table.
Min Yu saw her movements, raised his eyebrows slightly, put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and said in a clear voice, "Are you done?"
Huo Yao nodded calmly without looking back at him, "Almost... almost."
She supported herself with her elbows on the edge of the coffee table, preparing to stand up, but because she had been sitting cross-legged on the carpet for too long, her legs were numb and she couldn't stand up.
Min Yu was already very close to Huo Yao, and seeing this, he just leaned over slightly, stretched out his hands from behind to her waist, and finally his fingertips landed on her calves, pressing on her with a force that was neither light nor heavy.
The breath sprayed near his ear, and Huo Yao's body subconsciously tensed up.
"Relax."
When a deep voice came, Huo Yao's eyelashes drooped slightly. She said "oh" and lowered her shoulders, seeming to relax.
The hall was very quiet. After a while, Min Yu withdrew his hand and pulled the person up.
Huo Yao stood up straight and thanked him.
Min Yu just looked at her with a half-smile.
Meeting this gaze, Huo Yao seemed to remember something. She coughed and began to pick up the pile of drafts on the coffee table.
She tore some useless manuscripts into two halves and threw them into the trash can, leaving only a few useful pages. She then took photos of those pages one by one and sent them to Lei Xiao via WeChat.
It was definitely impossible to continue the discussion. Lei Xiao on the other end was also tactful and did not send any more voice messages to inquire. He just replied with a received message and left.
It was already late, so Huo Yao took his coat and put it on, then went to the bathroom and prepared to go home.
When she came out, Min Yu was holding his cell phone and answering a call. She paused, but didn't say anything. She waited for Xiao Xu, and when she saw Min Yu looking at her, she moved her lips and raised her hand to point towards the door, indicating that she would go back first.
Min Yu paused, then said "wait a minute" to the person on the other end of the phone, then took the coat on the sofa and walked towards Huo Yao, "I'll take you there."
Min Ji'an, who was wondering what his nephew was doing on the other end of the phone, felt goose bumps on his arms when he heard these three words that could be described as gentle enough.
"Is there someone over there? Who are you talking to?" Min Ji'an asked curiously.
Min Yu had already walked to Huo Yao's side. The volume of the phone's speaker was not loud, but it was not low either.
