Chapter 516: Do You Know This Girl?

Huo Yao’s phone rang in her pocket shortly after she left the villa. She was thinking about where to go to pass the time. She pulled her phone out and saw it was her father calling.
She quickly answered the phone. The sound of the breeze could be heard over the phone. “Hi, Dad.”
“Haven’t you come home already? What are you doing outside?” Huo Jinyan’s voice came from over the phone.
Huo Yao halted briefly and looked puzzled. “How did you know I’m out?”
Huo Jinyan instantly froze. He glanced at the living room before he made an excuse. “I saw you from the balcony earlier.”
Huo Yao felt that something was amiss with her father. She contemplated for two seconds before she replied. “I’m heading to the library.”
Since Old Master Min was around, Huo Jinyan said, “Okay. Take care.”
Huo Yao touched her nose before she went, “Uh huh.”
Huo Yao hung up the phone and left the estate without giving it much thought. She hailed a cab and headed to the library in the city center.
Huo Yao spent the entire afternoon in the library. In her free time, she even found a few books related to Chinese medicine. She took some photos and sent them to Yi Lianfan.
Yi Lianfan felt deeply flattered when he received a text from Huo Yao.
He tapped on the picture to see that they were some book titles and recalled their conversation over dinner last night where Huo Yao offered to recommend him some Chinese medicine books.
Yi Lianfan honestly was not interested in cooking or Chinese medicine. He only did it for the sake of his family heritage.
Yi Lianfan went quiet for a couple of seconds before he thanked her and saved the screenshot.
He opened an online bookstore application and ordered all the books that she had recommended.
Huo Yao was an all-rounder and seemed to dabble in a lot of things. What excuse did he have not to do the same?
Yi Lianfan suddenly saw the light and felt that he was not as opposed to cooking. He even felt the desire to hone his craft.
Class was still going on when Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy suddenly leaned towards him with his phone. He nudged his elbow and asked softly. “Do you know this person?”
Yi Lianfan raised his head and glanced at the phone calmly to see a girl with a black mask on. He glanced away with disinterest. “No, I don’t.”
“Just as I thought,” muttered his desk buddy before taking his phone back.
Just as Yi Lianfan was about to answer him, he suddenly turned to look at his desk buddy. “Hang on.”
“Yeah?” said his desk buddy as Yi Lianfan extended his hand to take his phone.
Yi Lianfan ignored his desk buddy’s reaction. His eyes landed on the photo on the screen and he blew up the photo slightly.
He did not recognize the girl wearing a mask at the get go. In hindsight, he found her features and proud aura to be familiar. Was that not Huo Yao?
When Yi Lianfan kept staring at the phone, his desk buddy coughed before he asked quizzically. “Lianfan?”
Yi Lianfan narrowed his eyes and turned to ask his deskmate. “Where did you get this picture from?”
