“Huo Yao, the Dean asked me to tell you this. He managed to pick up the Acceptance Letter from that security guard. The guy was suffering from diarrhea and had forgotten to take his phone with him, which led to that big confusion in the morning. Don’t let it bother you.”

Chen Yu told Huo Yu what the Dean had instructed her to say.

Huo Yao thought about it and said, “Ms. Chen, I understand.”

Huo Yao’s answer was polite. Chen Yu could not help but say a few more words. “You have just come to our school, and may need to adjust yourself. Also, the teaching method which we adopt here is different from that in the county school. The senior year is the most important year of all. If you have any questions, make sure that you ask me. Alright?”

Huo Yao gazed at Chen Yu.

The latter was just one step away from saying the words, “I know that you are poor in studies, and I am just trying to help you.”

Huo Yao grinned in return and said, “Ma’am, you can trust me a bit more.”

Huo Yao sounded confident.

Huo Yao’s grin took Chen Yu’s breath away. After a moment, Chen Yu was about to say something, only to notice that Huo Yao was gone.

This student… might not be as bad as Wei Mingzhe had suggested.

As soon as Huo Yao stepped out of campus, her phone began to ring. She took it out and saw that it was an unknown number.

At the same time, she heard someone honking a car. A familiar black sedan fell into her sight.

Huo Yao raised her eyebrows. She didn’t pick up the call and strode towards the car.

The window lowered, and the person whom she had met this morning, revealed himself. “Want a ride?”

“Why? Are you buying me dinner?” Huo Yao didn’t get in just yet. She didn’t ask him if he was waiting for her on purpose, either.

Min Yu put on a faint smile, which washed away some of the coldness on his face. “Sure, no problem.”

Huo Yao pulled the back door open and replied. “Fine. But I have to get back home right after dinner. My parents will be worried if I go back too late.”

After she got into the car, Huo Yao texted Song Ning.

“Since when have you started to behave yourself?” Min Yu started the car. He looked at Huo Yao in disbelief. He was thinking of that neighborhood girl who would often climb over the wall at night, just to have fun.

Huo Yao turned around and looked into his eyes. Instead of answering him, she asked him, instead. “When did I not behave myself?”

Min Yu burst into laughter and shook his head. If he told her that he had seen her in action, she might accuse him of stalking her. Therefore, he chose not to answer the question.

Not long after, Min Yu pulled the car in front of a private home-cooking restaurant. The decoration of the place looked quite exquisite.

They went to a private room. Huo Yao put her bag down and picked up the menu. She had ordered a few dishes before she remembered the man sitting across her.

Min Yu added two more dishes and told the waiter to go, leaving only him and Huo Yao in the room.

Huo Yao was playing on her phone when she asked him in a casual voice. “How did you get my phone number?”

She didn’t remember having given him her number.

Min Yu poured himself a cup of tea. The enshrouding steam dispersed in the air.

He said, “Your grandma told me to take care of you.”

Huo Yao looked up at Min Yu in surprise. She never thought that she would hear such words from his mouth.
