Huo Yao walked out of the lift just as Xie was about to ask her what she meant.
Xie scratched his head. He could only suppress his doubt and quickly followed behind her.

"Hi, Uncle Changfeng," greeted Huo Yao. She sat down obediently across from him with her back straight.
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Changfeng, looking genial. "Did your teacher say anything about you coming here?"
"Nope." Huo Yao smiled. After exchanging a few words, she pretended not to know anything and asked. "Uncle Changfeng, what are you doing here?"
"Here for some minor business." When Huo Changfeng mentioned it was work, those words simply rolled off his tongue naturally. It sounded as though he was genuinely here for work and had nothing to do with the laboratory attack.
Huo Yao touched her nose quietly.
