Chapter 265: Your Brother Is On His Way
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yichen originally thought that studying was boring and even bitter. However, the note that Murong Qiao handed over was like a sweet torture. He really wanted to kiss Murong Qiao, but this was the self-study room, so he had no choice but to hold her hand instead.
“Focus.” Huo Yichen was helpless.
He squeezed Murong Qiao’s weak and boneless hand and Murong Qiao regarded this action as a warning.
Murong Qiao wanted to be mischievous again, but she heard her cell phone vibrate.
“Where are you now?” It was a message from Murong Chuan.
Murong Qiao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the message. She wanted to say that she was in the dormitory, but she was afraid that Murong Chuan would take the initiative to look for her, so she raised her cell phone and took a photo of herself.
“[Picture] I’m studying in the library.” She sent the photo over.
Murong Qiao’s angle was very ingenious. The range happened to not include Huo Yichen, who was beside her. From the information on it, one could only tell that she was in the self-study room.
Meanwhile, Murong Chuan, who was sitting in his office, opened the photo. When he saw the scene inside, the smile on his face disappeared and his brows furrowed.
He could tell that Murong Qiao’s photo was not taken in the self-study room here.
Murong Chuan often went to the library to read materials and borrow books because of his research. Occasionally, he would stay in the self-study room to read something, so he was very familiar with the layout there.
To be precise, with his amazing memory, he could even remember how many bookshelves there were in the self-study room and how many types of books there were.
Therefore, when he saw the photo Murong Qiao sent, Murong Chuan immediately recognized that she was not in the nearby library.
However, the similar layout was very familiar. His thoughts spun in his mind and gave Murong Chuan a new answer.
Could it be that she was with the boy from last time again?
Murong Chuan stared at the picture in silence.
He felt like his family’s cabbage had been stolen by a pig. Such a good sister had been kidnapped by that boy just like that?
Just as Murong Chuan was in a bad mood, someone knocked on the office door from the outside. The rhythmic sound was almost the same even when the time was different, as if the person was serious.
Murong Chuan stood up to open the door. “It’s you?”
He sounded a little surprised, but his expressionless face betrayed his familiarity with the person.
Murong Zheng, who was standing outside the office, raised his hand and greeted him. His eyes met Murong Chuan’s.
“I’m here to look for Little Sister. Do you know where she is?” Murong Zheng asked him.
Due to the fact that he was going out, Murong Zheng took off his favorite research outfit and changed into a casual outfit.
Murong Zheng recalled the time when Huo Yichen went to the hospital with Murong Qiao, so he didn’t have the mood to do experiments these two days.
Murong Qiao hadn’t talked to him much, and Murong Zheng didn’t know how the wound on her hand was. Last time, he realized that Huo Yichen and his Little Sister seemed to have a special relationship. These two reasons prompted him to come over and take a look.
From his observation, Little Sister and that male cla.s.smate were definitely not just cla.s.smates.
“Why are you here?” Murong Chuan was surprised by Murong Zheng’s arrival. They were not people who liked to go out. There was obviously a reason why they could meet here.
The two of them looked at each other. Murong Zheng first explained the reason, and then Murong Chuan also explained the situation.
With this exchange of information, the two of them knew what was going on.
Murong Chuan’s expression was even worse than before. “…1 have a guess.”
He raised his head and looked at Murong Zheng. He had the same premonition. Little Sister is in love!!!
This news was even worse than Murong Chuan hearing that his research project had been rejected. It was like a thunderclap that suddenly blew him up.
Murong Zheng’s expression did not look any better. Initially, he was just guessing in his heart. In the end, Murong Chuan’s words verified his doubts.
“If I’m not wrong, she should be in the Finance Department’s library now.” Murong Zheng pointed out Murong Qiao’s location.
Since she was not in the library here, she must have gone to find another person in the library.
In other words, the opportunity was right in front of him.
The two of them looked at each other and walked out at the same time.
Murong Zheng and Murong Chuan walked out of the teaching building side by side, planning to find Murong Qiao to see what was going on.
One was an aloof doctor, and the other was an abstinent professor. This combination attracted many female students’ attention as they walked. Some even took photos and posted them on the forum.
There were even a few bold female students who held their cell phones and followed behind the two brothers. They were extremely impressive.
Dozens of comments popped up every time the forum was refreshed.
“I don’t want to either, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a handsome man in my life. Moreover, there are two of them!”
“I’m sorry, but they’re too handsome. Who can withstand this…”
“Would you believe me if 1 said that the cell phone had its own thoughts and brought me to follow them?”
At that time, Murong Qiao was still sitting steadily beside him, unaware that “danger” was quietly approaching.
She was still happily reading her book when she realized that her cell phone had suddenly started vibrating crazily.
Murong Qiao was so frightened that she turned it to silent mode before she hurriedly opened it to see what was going on.
“Qiaoqiao, look! [Link] Who is this handsome man beside Professor Murong? Do you know him!!!”
“I’ve never seen him in school before. Could he be a teacher from another department?!”
Yang Xin sent her a message excitedly. Murong Qiao clicked on the post in confusion. In the end, she saw the photo that was located in the Economics and Management Department. The protagonists were his second brother, Murong Zheng, and third brother, Murong Chuan.
Why were the two of them together??
Murong Qiao’s eyes widened as she looked at the post in surprise. She scrolled down and saw that almost all the comments were asking who they were. Her thoughts spun quickly as she came to a conclusion.
Her intuition told her that these two people were probably here looking for her. At the thought of this possibility, Murong Qiao’s heart turned cold. How could she still have the mood to reply to Yang Xin’s question?
She was probably going to die.
“Huo Yichen!” Murong Qiao called his full name anxiously.
She nudged her boyfriend, who was still studying. “I think my brothers are coming to look for me. Leave quickly!”
Murong Qiao told Huo Yichen without thinking. If Big Brother saw Huo Yichen with her, something terrible would happen.
Huo Yichen didn’t move. He had been paying attention to Murong Qiao just now. Seeing that Murong Qiao looked at her cell phone and asking him to leave quickly, his face suddenly darkened.
“Why do you want me to leave?” He sounded reluctant.
The two of them were clearly dating openly, but Murong Qiao sounded like they were doing something shameful. What was wrong with studying with his girlfriend?
Was he that shameful? She actually wanted to chase him away the moment her brothers arrived.
Murong Qiao could hear the strangeness in his words. Only then did she realize that she had said something wrong in a hurry.
Her tone immediately softened. “I’m sorry. 1 was too anxious just now.”
Just now, she was very nervous because she thought that her Big Brothers could arrive at any time.
“Of course I want to stay with you forever. The longer 1 stay, the better—” Murong Qiao took the initiative to lean forward and kiss Huo Yichen’s face.
“But if this bit of greed is exchanged for not being able to see each other in the future, the gains won’t make up for the losses.”
“Chen, can you bear with it? Please-“
