Huo Yao cleaned up the traces on the laptop. She stood up and walked up to the printer. She folded the printed documents and placed them in her coat pocket.
She paid the printer and walked out of the shop.
The sky darkened early in winter, so it was still bright when she stepped out of the house. Now that she had left the shop, it was much darker outside. The street lights on the estate were already on.
Huo Yao wore a black coat that wrapped around her slender body. Her legs were long and slender. She walked slowly with her hands in her pockets. She looked casual and handsome at the same time.
Huo Yao's phone rang in her pocket. It was Min Yu. She quickly picked up the call.
"Are you busy?" asked Min Yu in a clear and cold voice.
Huo Yao raised her eyes and looked ahead. The estate entrance was not far away. "Not really."
Min Yu was standing on the balcony on the second floor of the villa. His eyes were distant and his handsome face looked gentle. "I sent you a WeChat message, but you didn't reply, so I thought you were busy."
Huo Yao lowered her phone from her ear and tapped on the screen. Sure enough, there was an unread message sent two minutes ago. She tapped it open and replied after a while. "My phone was in my pocket, so I didn't notice."
A car passed by on the side of the road, and the sound of a horn could be heard from the phone.
"Are you outside?" asked Min Yu in surprise.
"Uh huh. I'm taking a walk in the estate." Huo Yao did not hide the truth and replied softly. She paused before she asked him. "Is there something you need from me?"
Min Yu leaned against the railing lazily. "Old Mr. Yi's birthday is tomorrow. He invited you over for dinner."
Huo Yao's eyes narrowed. Old Mr. Yi had asked his grandson to send her an invitation, and now he had asked Min Yu to invite her. It was obvious that she could not turn them down.
She contemplated for a moment before she replied. "Okay. I'll go."
Min Yu detected the helplessness in Huo Yao's voice. He raised his brow slightly and said, "Don't worry about the gift. I'll prepare it for you."
Huo Yao instantly fell silent. He made it sound like she was a stingy person.
"Thank you, Boss. You're such a nice person," praised Huo Yao sincerely.
On the other end of the line, Min Yu was speechless.
"I'll pick you up after school tomorrow," said Min Yu after some time.
Huo Yao walked into the estate briskly. "Is it too much trouble?"
"No." Min Yu's eyes landed on the courtyard below the balcony. He added. "It's on the way."
Huo Yao's lips twitched. No.1 Middle School was located in the opposite direction of the Yi family mansion. "... Fine then. I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Alright." Just as Huo Yao was about to hang up, Min Yu said, "Go home early. It's not safe for a girl like you to be out."
Huo Yao adjusted her coat with a deep look in her eyes. Her delicate appearance could deceive everyone.
Everyone liked to say such unsafe things to her.
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone in her pocket and walked home unhurriedly.
After walking for a while, Huo Yao suddenly came to a halt. She turned her head and glanced behind her from the corner of her eye.
Someone was following her?
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and deliberately slowed down.
