The moment she saw the chocolate, Jing Li couldn't help being in a daze for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but chuckle. Then she raised her eyes and looked at him, "Did you steal it from Yueyue?"
Everyone knows that Miss Huo Yueyan likes to eat sweets. Such a unique and niche chocolate would probably only come from her.
After hearing this, Huo Qiran just smiled slightly and motioned for her to have a taste.
Jing Li opened the candy wrapper, took out the chocolate inside, put it in her mouth, felt the chocolate melting on her tongue, nodded and said, "It's delicious. Yueyue is really good at eating chocolate!"
After hearing this, Huo Qiran wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Jing Li continued to look down at the book in her hand. Huo Qiran sat next to her and picked up a book. Just after turning two pages, her phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked up his phone and found a question sent by Tong Jing, his junior sister in the laboratory.
Huo Qiran patiently answered her questions, while Tong Jing took in the questions and asked more questions, so that Huo Qiran could only answer endless questions on her phone.
I don't know how long it took, but Mu Qian came downstairs, saw them, chuckled and said, "You are here."
"Aunt Mu." Jing Li came back to her senses, raised the book in her hand and said, "This book is beautiful, I was fascinated by it."
"Look, I'll come down and help Stewart find an information book." Mu Qian said as she walked towards the bookshelf. Her eyes fell on Huo Qiran who was concentrating on typing on his mobile phone. Suddenly, he took a book from the bookshelf behind him.
He tapped Huo Qiran's head lightly, "Are you sitting here just to play with your phone?"
Huo Qiran glanced at her helplessly and showed his mobile phone page in front of Mu Qian without reservation.
"Tong Jing?" Mu Qian seemed to only see a name, "Is that the junior sister in your laboratory? I saw her from a distance last time, and she looked quite cute. What's going on? You guys do it every day?
Working all day and night in the laboratory is not enough, what if you have endless messages to send when you get home?"
At this time, no matter as a good friend, an old classmate or an ordinary friend, it seems a little unreasonable not to gossip, so Jing Li was quickly attracted by this topic and probed her head and said: "What a cute little junior sister? Then I want to take a look,
Do you have a photo?"
"Yes." Mu Qian said immediately, "They take photos every time they have a gathering in the laboratory. There must be group photos together."
Jing Li and Mu Qian looked at each other and laughed, "Then maybe... he still has separate photos on his phone?"
Mu Qian took out the book she was looking for, shrugged and said, "Then I don't know, you can ask him yourself."
After saying this, Mu Qian took the book and turned around and left.
Jing Licai looked at Huo Qiran again, "Let's take a look?"
Huo Qiran was really helpless.
Mu Qian, his biological mother, has always been helpless, but the key is that Jing Li now also...?
He spread his hands to indicate that he didn't have any photos.
"Impossible." Jing Li said, "Aunt Mu told me that you have photos on your phone. Show them to me. Don't be so stingy. I only look at the photos and won't scare you away..."
Huo Qiran couldn't make a sound and could only wave his hands repeatedly.
Seeing his avoidant gesture, Jing Li seemed to be even more interested, and couldn't help but reach out and pull his sleeve, "You hide every photo and refuse to let anyone see it, are you not a friend enough?"
If I leave in a few days, I will never have the chance to see your girlfriend again. If you two get married, I will definitely not be able to drink the wedding wine. Why do you just let me take a look? "
Listening to what she said, Huo Qiran couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. However, the fact that he couldn't make a sound was really annoying. When he was anxious, his throat became itchy again. He turned his head and coughed violently.
Seeing his reaction so strongly, Jing Li was startled. She quickly reached out and patted his back, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't watch anymore. Don't worry..."
Seeing that Huo Qiran's cough finally subsided, Jing Li picked up the thermos cup on the table and handed it to him. Huo Qiran took two sips of water before he finally calmed down.
Seeing his appearance, Jing Li couldn't help but ask again: "Is it true that you can't even take a look at him?"
Huo Qiran choked suddenly and started coughing again.
Jing Li hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't watch it until I die. Just take it easy for a while."
She sat back to her previous seat, picked up the book again, and continued to open the pages and read.
Huo Qiran sat next to him, and after quietly drinking a few sips of water, he suddenly picked up his mobile phone, opened the group chat in the laboratory, scrolled through it for a long time, and finally found a photo of the latest dinner party, opened it, and handed it to Jing Li
before.
Jing Li was startled, then took the phone and looked at the person in the photo carefully.
The background of the photo is a barbecue restaurant. Seven or eight people are sitting together. The only girl among them is probably the junior sister named Tong Jing. The other men at the table looked a little perfunctory when facing the camera. She was the only one who still posed.
The shape looks really cute and cute.
Just when she looked at Huo Qiran in the photo, Jing Li was stunned again.
The two people were not sitting together, but two people apart.
Huo Qiran waited until she had seen it all, then moved forward a few more photos until it was time for the last dinner party.
It's still those people, Tong Jing is still the only girl, and there are still other people between her and Huo Qiran.
Huo Qiran continued to scroll up and found five or six photos in a row. In none of them were two people sitting next to each other.
Jing Li looked at the photo and after a moment of silence, she suddenly turned to look at him, "Why don't you two sit together? Is it to avoid suspicion? Or are you two underground?"
Huo Qiran coughed twice more, took back his phone and was about to type, when Brayden suddenly appeared again, saw the two people sitting there, and said: "Why are you still sitting here? I found a retro game upstairs, people
The more, the more fun, let’s go up and play together!”
"Okay." Jing Li responded quickly, but felt reluctant to put down the book in her hand. Then she turned to Huo Qiran, "Can you lend me this book first? I promise to return it before leaving Tongcheng."
Huo Qiran paused and nodded slowly.
"Thank you!" Jing Li blinked, her face bright, then she stood up and followed Brayden's footsteps and left the library area.
Huo Qiran worked for a while, and finally picked up the phone, opened Jing Li's chat box, and sent a message:
"Junior sister is just a junior sister, there is no need to avoid suspicion and there is no secret."
