Chapter 139: A Different Huo Yichen

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yichen’s sudden appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Soon, someone recognized that the girl Huo Yichen had stopped was Murong Qiao, the first place freshman.

The popularity of the two of them was not small. Now that they were together in front of everyone, it made everyone’s imagination run wild.

“I’m not free.” Murong Qiao pursed her lips and refused.

She had a feeling that Huo Yichen was looking at her with an indescribable feeling in his eyes, but they had clearly been very unhappy before.

What was this? A Memory Vanishing Spell?

Murong Qiao couldn’t help but ask in her heart.

“Nan Qiao,” Huo Yichen said bluntly. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid of being alone with me?”

Murong Qiao snorted and glanced at Huo Yichen.

“I changed my name,” she explained.

“My name is Murong Qiao now. I’m no longer the Nan Qiao of the past.”

Murong Qiao corrected him on her name, telling Huo Yichen to stop calling her that.

The name Nan Qiao carried many bad memories, but since she had changed her name, it meant that she would no longer need to think about the past.

When she saw Huo Yichen appear on stage, Murong Qiao was already determined to draw a clear line with him.

However, that was not Huo Yichen’s main point. Seeing Murong Qiao talking to him seriously made him feel better.

“Okay.” Huo Yichen nodded. “Then can 1 treat Young Miss Murong to a meal?” He used the new name that the other party had mentioned and extended an invitation again.

Huo Yichen brought the conversation back to the beginning.

“…Alright.” Murong Qiao frowned and agreed when she saw Huo Yichen’s unwillingness to give up.

It seemed that she had no choice but to agree today.

After agreeing to have a meal with Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao said goodbye to her roommates and walked out of the school.

On the way, when they saw Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen walking together, many people started discussing.

These discussions did not stop even after the two of them disappeared from sight.

Murong Qiao followed Huo Yichen into a well-decorated cafeteria and found a seat.

Huo Yichen walked to the other side and pulled out a chair for Murong Qiao to sit down. Then, he sat on the other side.

“We’d like a taste of these dishes.” The menu was handed to Huo Yichen. He glanced at it and picked out several dishes.

A few minutes after the attendant agreed, the dishes were served.

Murong Qiao glanced at the dishes on the table. They were all her favorites. Puzzled, she glanced at Huo Yichen, who was sitting opposite her and smiling. “I could tell based on the breakfasts you had given me previously.” He answered her question as if he knew what Murong Qiao was thinking.

Murong Qiao was stunned that her thoughts had been seen through, but she did not say anything.

She had almost forgotten about her high school days, but now that Huo Yichen had mentioned it, the memories of her and Huo Yichen began to surge again.

However, Huo Yichen didn’t say anything more.

Actually, he didn’t just know her favorite dishes.

Huo Yichen’s gaze fell on Murong Qiao’s actions. He even knew what color

Murong Qiao liked and what style and type of clothes she liked to wear. He even knew the places she frequented the most.

He could accurately point out the other party’s favorite dishes because he had investigated Murong Qiao.

The other party’s information clearly stated that she liked meat. It was even to the extent that she only likes certain dishes and flavors.

Therefore, when the dishes were served, the meat dishes were placed in

Murong Qiao’s area, and the vegetables that were more vegetarian were placed in Huo Yichen’s area.

Murong Qiao didn’t expect the other party to be so observant and even know what she liked to eat. Moreover, he was able to remember it after so long.

This made her intention to distance herself from the other party to soften a little. She stared at the food in front of her and did not say anything.

She just felt that she and Huo Yichen were on two different paths. Even if they met again at Hui University, they wouldn’t be able to return to their old friendship.

Perhaps it was not a bad idea to make things clear to him during this meal.

However, she still didn’t understand why Huo Yichen took the initiative to look for her.

Murong Qiao pondered in her heart and ate silently.

Then, a piece of meat suddenly appeared in the bowl. Murong Qiao subconsciously looked at the owner of the chopsticks.

However, Huo Yichen didn’t seem to feel it. He put two more pieces of meat into her bowl as if it was a matter of course.

Murong Qiao felt like she was being fed, but when she thought about how it was Huo Yichen who placed the food for her, she felt a little strange.

Moreover, if she hadn’t seen wrongly just now, one of the spicy dishes had even been deliberately removed of chili.

He had even considered this point. Murong Qiao really did not like to eat chili.

It was shockingly meticulous.

“Eat more. You’re too skinny,” Huo Yichen added.

His tone was so straightforward that Murong Qiao choked on her food.

Her throat was itchy, causing Murong Qiao to cough subconsciously. Then, a tissue was handed to her immediately.

It was Huo Yichen.

After ordering, Murong Qiao was not as surprised as she was at first. However, she felt like she was being watched as she ate under Huo Yichen’s gaze.

She looked at Huo Yichen. His behavior made her hair stand on ends.

It was hard for Murong Qiao not to think too much about it.

Is this person up to no good?

Although she thought so, Murong Qiao still reached out to take the tissue from Huo Yichen.

She used the tissue to calm her cough and waited for the itchiness in her throat to subside before returning to normal.

The fragrance of the food wafted to the tip of Murong Qiao’s nose. Even though Huo Yichen gave her a strange feeling, Murong Qiao had to admit that these dishes really suited her taste.

The tissue was still in her hand. Murong Qiao’s gaze subconsciously landed on it as she stared at the white paper.

Ever since she entered the cafeteria, Huo Yichen’s behavior had made her feel a little different about him.

From knowing her favorite dishes to handing her tissues, it all showed Huo Yichen’s meticulousness.

This feeling of being predicted and understood should have been repulsive, but

Huo Yichen’s considerate actions diluted this feeling and only made Murong Qiao feel comfortable and taken care of.

His sharp observation was also very useful. Murong Qiao even felt that the meal was not as awkward as she had imagined.

As for drawing the line, Murong Qiao had also forgotten about it.

Being taken care of so carefully made Murong Qiao unable to act tough even if she wanted to.

The atmosphere between the two of them was obviously much more harmonious. This scene was also secretly captured by the girl sitting at the next table with her phone.

The girl was also a partic.i.p.ant in the opening ceremony, so when she saw Huo

Yichen, she recognized him as the freshman who had spoken on stage earlier.

From her angle, she could see Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao eating.

The girl did not expect to meet the new school hunk of Hui University while eating. After secretly taking a photo, she posted it on the forum of Hui University students.

This photo received attention not long after it was posted.

Ever since his appearance at the school opening ceremony, Huo Yichen had been designated as the new school hunk of Hui University and had thus become an influential figure.

With Huo Yichen’s popularity, the photo began to climb to the top trending list and entered the eyes of more people..
