After Qiqi returned to Tan Palace, she thought everyone would be asleep at night, but who knew that when she walked to the door, she saw someone sitting on the sofa, Qiqi was dumbfounded.
Why is he still sitting in the living room?
Huo Shaoting put down the magazine in his hand and looked at her calmly: "I'm back."
He looked like he had been sitting there waiting for her for a long time, waiting for her to come back.
"Brother Shao Ting, aren't you asleep yet?"
It's very quiet at night, especially in a place like Tan Palace. Qiqi's words echoed in the hall.
In response to her words, Huo Shaoting whispered: "I was still thinking about giving you a call."
Qiqi knew that she had been leaving early and coming back late recently, so she immediately explained: "Our laboratory has been quite busy recently, so I came back very late during this period. I'm sorry, Brother Shao Ting, I didn't call you to tell you."
Huo Shaoting looked at her standing under the light at the door and said softly: "It's okay. Just come back. But don't be too late. After all, it's not safe to come back so late."
Qiqi nodded and said, "I know."
After another short silence, Huo Shaoting got up from the sofa and said, "Then I'll go upstairs first."
Qiqi nodded: "Okay, Brother Shao Ting."
Huo Shaoting left the hall and went upstairs.
Qiqi also waited for him to go upstairs, and then walked in through the hall door. When Qiqi got upstairs, she closed the door and locked herself in the room. She leaned against the door and kept warning herself, They can no longer get too close to each other.
Can't.
She closed her eyes, and her little face looked a little pale under the light.
Qiqi still only had two or three bites of breakfast the next morning. She got up from the dining table. Just when she was about to speak, Huo Shaoting said, "Is there another morning class at school today?"
Qiqi nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Shao Ting."
"Then just one piece."
Qiqi looked at him a little unexpectedly.
"I happen to have something to do and have to go to your school today."
Qiqi wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a reason for a while. She nodded: "Oh... okay."
After that, the two came out of Tan Palace. Qiqi sat next to Huo Shaoting. Huo Shaoting had been answering the phone. Qiqi didn't know what the person on the phone was saying.
I saw him sometimes frowning, sometimes being silent, sometimes saying a few words, but from what he said, it was impossible to guess what the phone call was.
When the car stopped at the school gate, Huo Shaoting's call finally ended. He looked at Qiqi: "Then I won't send you in."
"Okay, Brother Shao Ting."
Because Qiqi came here in his car today, it was still very early before the first class, but she still made herself look like she was in a hurry. After saying that, she opened the car door and got out of the car without looking back. Walk towards the school.
Huo Shaoting sat in the car and looked at her hurried back.
After that, Qi Qi entered the school gate, but Huo Shaoting's car entered another gate of their school. That was the driveway reserved for school directors. General vehicles were not allowed to enter, but Huo Shaoting's car drove straight in.
Because it was still early, Qiqi planned to go to the library to stay for a while. Suddenly a person came out from behind her. Qiqi looked back, and Xu Li waved her hand and hugged Qiqi directly: "What are you doing today?" Coming so early?”
After Qiqi saw that it was Xu Li, her body relaxed. She hesitated for a while: "I haven't been busy with anything else recently, so I came earlier."
Xu Li didn't believe her. She just felt that she was mysterious during this period. However, Xu Li thought of something, put her face next to Qi Qi's ear, and said to Qi Qi: "Did you know? Huo gave her a gift again this time. Our school donated a building.”
When Qiqi heard this, she looked at Xu Li. She had always known that Huo was the biggest donor to their school. There was still a Huo logo standing in the school auditorium. It seemed nothing strange to make another donation.
Just as Qiqi was thinking this, Xu Li said, "Qiqi, do you know? Many people say that Huo's donation this time is to accumulate blessings for your sister."
Qiqi paused and looked at Xu Li.
"Some people say that they are looking for fortune tellers. There is some issue of good fortune involved. It seems that the older the person is, the more superstitious they are."
Qiqi really didn't know about this, but she suddenly remembered that Huo Shaoting answered the phone in the car just now, and she heard the word temple on his phone.
At that time, she thought she had heard wrongly, but she didn't expect that it was related to what Xu Li said.
Is it because she has never been pregnant, so they have already started praying to gods and Buddhas...
Xu Li didn't notice Qiqi's silence or uncertainty at all, and was still gossiping with her: "Our school is your sister's alma mater. Which school is not good for Huo to donate to? Our school donates every year. Our school is really lucky." Your sister's light."
Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "Well, yes."
Seeing her expression of ignorance, Xu Li asked again: "Don't you know about Huo's donation this time?"
Qiqi said: "I don't know, no one told me."
Qiqi only chatted with Xu Li for a few words about this matter, and then went into the library on the grounds that she wanted to look up information.
Xu Li had something else to do and didn't follow her in.
Qiqi was alone in the library. In every corner of the library, she heard someone discussing what Xu Li just said.
It seems...she is indeed the only one who doesn't know.
When Qiqi came out of the laboratory in the evening, she received a call. It was from Huo Shaoting. She immediately said, "Brother Shaoting, are you okay?"
Huo Shaoting said on the phone: "Let's have dinner together tonight."
When Qiqi heard this, she stopped on the steps. She didn't want to, so she was about to refuse.
Huo Shaoting said on the phone again: "We have arrived at the gate of your school. The place to eat is right near your school. Let's eat together."
Qiqi held the phone in her hand and her face was silent for a long time. She didn't know how to refuse again, so she said, "Okay."
"Well, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
After the two of them finished talking on the phone, Qiqi couldn't go to the cafeteria anymore. She had no choice but to turn down her dinner date with Xu Li and walked out of the school gate.
When she got to the gate, she saw the car.
Huo Shaoting kept looking at the time on his watch in the car.
When Qiqi went over and opened the car door, she said politely: "Brother Shao Ting, have you been waiting for a long time?"
It took her quite a long time to get here from the laboratory.
Huo Shaoting put the documents in his hand aside: "It's okay, let's get in the car."
After Qiqi got to the car, she asked again: "Are we two eating?"
The two of them rarely ate alone together, only once or twice.
He whispered: "No, I have a social occasion, so I wanted to be close so I took you to eat together."
Qiqi thought about Huo's donation to the school.
