Huo Yao, who had not heard Lei Xiao's voice for a long time, finished writing the last piece of paper. She raised the A4 paper in the air and aimed it at the phone on the coffee table.
Just as she was about to speak, she raised her eyes and saw that the camera on the top right corner of the screen was all black except for her.
Huo Yao: "?"
Min Yu reached his hand out from behind her. Huo Yao instinctively moved to the side before she realized that someone was sitting behind her.
Huo Yao was slightly stunned. When did this guy come? Why did she not notice him at all?
Her eyes shifted to Min Yu's hand. There was only one piece of apple left on the fruit platter.
Huo Yao finally composed herself and could not help looking away. She raised her hand and pressed between her eyebrows. She did not know whether to praise herself for being too focused or to say that she was so used to being alone that she did not even notice him.
She heard heavy coughing coming from the other end of the line. It was accompanied by the sound of a chair being dragged.
Huo Yao lowered her hand and did not say anything. She quickly hung up the video call on the coffee table.
Min Yu raised his brow slightly when he saw what she was doing. He placed the fruit platter on the coffee table and said in a clear voice, "Are you done?"
Huo Yao nodded without batting an eyelid. She did not even turn to look at him. "More or less."
Huo Yao placed her elbows on the edge of the coffee table and tried to stand up. However, she had been sitting cross-legged on the carpet for too long and was already numb.
Min Yu was standing very close to Huo Yao, so he bent down slightly and reached out to touch her waist. His fingertips landed on her calf and he applied gentle pressure on it.
Huo Yao's body instinctively tensed up as she breathed in.
"Relax."
Huo Yao lowered her eyelashes slightly when she heard his deep voice. "Oh." She lowered her shoulders and looked like she was really relaxed.
The living room was very quiet. After a while, Min Yu pulled his hands back and helped her up.
Huo Yao straightened her body and thanked him.
Min Yu merely looked at her with a half-smile.
Huo Yao seemed to recall something when she met his gaze. She coughed and started to tidy up the stack of papers on the coffee table.
She tore some useless manuscripts in half and threw them into the rubbish bin, leaving only a few useful pages. She then took a photo of those pages and sent them to Lei Xiao.
There was no way they could continue the discussion. Lei Xiao was also tactful enough not to send another voice message. He replied that he received it and slipped away.
It was getting late, so Huo Yao put on her jacket and went to the bathroom to prepare to go home.
When she came out, Min Yu was on the phone. She paused but didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, she saw Min Yu look over. She moved her lips and raised her finger in the direction of the door, indicating that she was going back first.
Min Yu paused. Then he picked up his jacket from the couch and walked over to Huo Yao. "Let me give you a lift."
On the other end of the phone, Min Jian, who was wondering what his nephew was up to, suddenly felt goosebumps on his arms when he heard the word "gentle".
"You have someone on your side? Who are you talking to? "Min Jian asked curiously.
Min Yu had already walked up to Huo Yao. The volume of the phone was neither loud nor low.
