Huo Yao raised her brow when she heard what he said. "You have the other half?"
The shopkeeper glanced at her and said, "Do you know about the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams? You just have to find the other half and put it together. "
Huo Yao had always felt that the shape of the jade was a little special, but she had never thought about the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams. Now that he mentioned it, it made sense.
"If you have the other half, you can sell it for a higher price than if you sell it separately," said the shopkeeper while Huo Yao was pondering over it.
"I'm not selling it," replied Huo Yao lazily.
The shopkeeper went speechless. "..."
Huo Yao took the necklace from the shopkeeper's hand and put it back on before standing up. "I'm leaving."
The shopkeeper was stunned. He did not expect Huo Yao to leave so abruptly. He stood up and said, "Wait a minute."
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways and looked at the shopkeeper.
The shop owner looked at Huo Yao's strange yet familiar eyes and asked her. "Have you been to my shop before?"
"Uh huh. I bought a pair of night vision goggles from you last year," replied Huo Yao without batting an eyelid.
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly at the mention of night vision goggles. He glanced at Huo Yao before he asked her. "Apart from that, did you come here before?"
"No." Huo Yao's eyes were clear and did not seem to be lying.
A look of disappointment flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes.
It had been a few years since Huo Yao had appeared. Moreover, she did not seem to be that old.
He shook his head and sat back in his chair without saying a word.
Huo Yao took in the expression on the shopkeeper's face, but she did not intend to say anything. She opened the glass door and walked out.
The clear and cold figure left without a sound when it came.

It was 10 pm by the time Huo Yao reached home.
Huo Yulin had just gotten home a few minutes ago. He assumed that his little sister was resting in her room, so he was surprised to see her. "Yao, why are you so late today?"
"Uh huh. I had nothing to do, so I went shopping," said Huo Yao honestly.
Huo Yulin glanced at her empty hands and asked her suspiciously. "Why didn't you buy anything?"
Huo Yao went to the fridge to get a bottle of water. She twisted the cap and took a sip before she sighed. "It's expensive."
Huo Yulin's lips twitched.
Huo Yao's phone rang. She did not say a word. Instead, she took out her phone and read the message. Her head started to hurt.
Academician Rong: [Remember to hand in my homework tomorrow. Muacks.]
Huo Yao went quiet for a second before she typed a reply: [The other party has turned on friend verification and is refusing to accept any messages.]
Academician Rong: […]
Huo Yao: [He has turned on his friend request and is refusing to accept any messages.]
Academician Rong: [????]
Huo Yao: [He has turned on his friend request and is refusing to accept any messages.]
Ever since she was tricked into the Physics Department by Rong Jun, he said that he didn't care, but in the end, he gave her a bunch of homework every few days. If she didn't hand it in, he would send her a series of WeChat bombs.
Are all academicians so free?
He had already regretted it more than ten thousand times.
Huo Yao sighed and put her phone away. She raised her head and said to Huo Yulin, "Brother, I'm going back to my room. You should rest early."
Huo Yulin could not help asking her when he noticed that she had nothing to live for. "What's wrong?"
Huo Yao waved her hand and walked to the stairs as she replied. "Don't mention it. I shot myself in the foot."
Huo Yulin's face twitched.
