Huo Yao glanced sideways at Yuan Xi before she placed the laptop under her pillow into her suitcase. She asked her casually. "Where do you live?"
"In this city," replied Yuan Xi.
Huo Yao was surprised to hear this. She had assumed that the kid was from another province. After all, the accent of a local was slightly different.
"Aren't you going home for the holidays?" asked Huo Yao.
Yuan Xi lowered her eyes slightly. She was clearly in low spirits. "Nah. I'm sick of staying at home. It's new to live on campus. I like it."
Huo Yao noticed that Yuan Xi's expression did not seem right. She acknowledged it and did not probe further.
Huo Yao's phone rang in her pocket when she was almost done packing. She took it out and saw that it was Cheng Ming. She answered the call.
"Uh huh. Uncle Changfeng is in the capital? Okay. I'll be right back. "
Huo Yao pondered for two seconds after she hung up. Then she texted Min Yu to tell him not to wait.
Huo Yao put her phone away and looked at Yuan Xi. "I'm off."
"Okay." Yuan Xi waved at her.
Huo Yao nodded and headed out with her suitcase.

The female dormitory building was a distance away from the east gate of Tsing University. Outsiders were not allowed to enter without a pass or a student from Tsing University.
Huo Yao had just left the dormitory building and walked out of the glass door with her suitcase. She was stopped by a middle-aged man after a few steps.
Huo Yao stood still with her hand still on the handle of her suitcase. She looked at the middle-aged man and found him somewhat familiar.
Thanks to his good memory, he didn't need to think too much to remember where he had met this person before.
Two months ago, her parents were holding a banquet for her to celebrate her becoming the top scorer in high school. She had seen him briefly.
He had been standing by the roadside when she walked over. However, when he saw her approaching, he suddenly reached out to stop her.
It was obvious that he was waiting for her.
Huo Yao looked indifferent and did not speak.
Xiao Zhu looked at the little girl in front of him and was slightly surprised.
He had felt that she was extremely rude and uncultured the last time they bumped into each other. However, she seemed a little different today.
She seemed to have an aura similar to Miss Ji Ya's.
Xiao Zhu quickly recalled his purpose of coming here today and collected his thoughts. He cleared his throat and said, "Miss Biao, Miss Huo would like to see you."
Miss Cousin?
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand how he addressed her.
Xiao Zhu sensed her confusion and explained, "Our Second Miss is called Song Qi. She's your mother's younger sister."
It was no wonder that the other party would call her cousin.
Huo Yao remained expressionless. "Why are you looking for me?"
Xiao Zhu did not know if Song Ning had mentioned the Song family to Huo Yao. However, Huo Yao's reaction was rather unfamiliar. He contemplated for a few seconds and decided not to mention Grandpa Song's illness for the time being.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu put on a smile and said in a gentle voice, "Your aunt knows that you came to the capital to study and has been talking about meeting you."
Huo Yao looked at him sharply and said straightforwardly, "My mom never told me that I have an aunt."
Song Ning had never mentioned her family in front of her. It was as if she had no family at all.
The person who was not mentioned could only mean that she was not important. Furthermore, if this man really wanted to see her, then the person standing in front of her right now should be her so-called aunt.
