Huo Yao detected someone looking at her from inside the car, so she raised her head. However, she could only faintly see someone sitting in the front passenger seat and was unable to see his face clearly.
The passenger was probably looking at her as well.
She quickly veered her eyes and shook her head politely. "It's okay. Don't worry about me, Prof Zhao."
Zhao Lian did not insist. He simply waved to Huo Yao and wound up the car window before gradually driving off.
Before long, Huo Yao disappeared from the rearview mirror.
"Is she a student of yours?" asked the man sitting in the front passenger seat casually, playing with his black ring.
Zhao Lian was holding the steering wheel. The moment the man asked if Huo Yao was Zhao Lian's student, Zhao Lian could not help feeling pleased. He nodded and said, "Uh huh. She's a good kid. Also, she is the top scholar."
The man genuinely felt astonished on hearing this. "Sounds impressive."
