Chapter 266: caught but not caught
He was a little bit irrational because of Murong Qiao's hasty tone just now, and he was naturally able to understand the reason behind it.
"So that we can meet often in the future?" Murong Qiao stretched out his hand like a hook.
It was obviously a very nervous situation, but seeing her childish behavior, Huo Yichen also showed indulgent pampering in his eyes, and reached out to make the agreed action with her.
His voice is low, and a single word is reassuring.
"good."
Thinking that his brother might be on the way, Huo Yichen, who had promised Murong Qiao to leave, got up immediately.
He didn't have anything to take with him, he only needed to collect all the materials on the table, and the tidying up was neat and pleasing to the eye, making Murong Qiao look back and forth between him and the door.
The whole process took less than ten seconds, and Huo Yichen got up with the book in one go, and when he left at the end, he kissed the corner of her lips by the way, with some reluctance.
The superficial kiss was fleeting, and Murong Qiao said goodbye to him in a low voice. "See you later."
Huo Yichen nodded in agreement with silent yet smiling eyes, and the next second his figure disappeared around the corner of the door.
"Huh—" Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
She just wanted to be thankful that Huo Yichen didn't run into her brothers when she left, but before she could catch her breath, she saw the figures of the second brother Murong Zheng and the third brother Murong Chuan appearing at the door, which scared her almost The pen fell to the ground without holding it.
If Huo Yichen walked a second later just now, he might have bumped into the two older brothers who came over.
As soon as he thought of that extremely impactful picture, Murong Qiao suddenly didn't dare to think about it any further.
She raised her eyes to look at her brothers, and the eyes of both sides just collided in the air. Murong Qiao's eyes froze for a very fast moment and then returned to normal, bending them to hide her guilty conscience.
"Second brother and third brother? Why are you here?" She decided to preemptively strike and looked at the two brothers in feigned surprise.
Murong Qiao's premonition was right, the second brother and the third brother really came to find him.
Murong Zheng, who had just gone upstairs, saw his sister's surprised expression in his eyes. He didn't speak first, but glanced around.
His sharp eyes, like a falcon, see almost every minute and every inch here, as if not even a tiny speck of dust can escape his eyes.
There are quite a few people in the study room, but Murong Qiao is the only one who is completely empty around him, and his sister said that he came to the library for self-study, but he clearly holds a collection of poems in his hand...
In just a few seconds, Murong Zheng's brain was spinning rapidly, carefully beating and calculating every doubtful point.
"Third brother?" Seeing that the second brother had been silent, Murong Qiao, who was uncertain, turned his eyes to the third brother Murong Chuan.
Murong Chuan responded, "Why did you travel so far to study?"
He originally thought that Murong Qiao was staying with Huo Yichen at the moment, but when he saw his younger sister sitting here alone with a book in her hands, he lost half of his vigilance.
Seeing Murong Chuan's furrowed brow, Murong Qiao thought something was wrong in his heart, and quickly added something as if to make amends.
"There are too many people over there~" She softened her voice, trying to pass the test by being cute.
While Murong Qiao was speaking, the second elder brother Murong Zheng moved away from Murong Qiao without saying a word.
He was originally born with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and those long legs against the sky reached the position Huo Yichen did just now with a slight exaggeration.
Murong Qiao thumped in his heart, and then he saw his second brother Murong Zheng take out a handkerchief as a barrier, and his light touch on the chair came into view.
The chair is still warm, which proves that someone sat here not long ago.
Upon realizing the most direct evidence, the second elder brother Murong Zheng's expression suddenly became intriguing. Instead of searching everywhere, a pair of speculative eyes fell on his sister with a half-smile, obviously waiting for an "answer".
Murong Qiao laughed dryly, "There was a girl sitting next to me just now."
As long as the heart rate can be measured, Murong Qiao feels that he can break through 200 soon.
It is clear that the second brother Murong Zheng didn't say anything, but when he saw his eyes, Murong Qiao felt his heart beating in his chest, and he had the illusion of being seen through.
Murong Zheng didn't comment on his younger sister's answer, he just frowned and sat beside him. Murong Chuan and Murong Chuan who were standing on the other side looked at each other tacitly.
It's probably because the kid didn't run away.
They are all on the side of the finance department, and the two elder brothers are not easy to fool. Seeing Murong Qiao's reaction, he immediately understood.
"Then when you finish studying, we will have dinner together." Murong Chuan glanced at the time.
Although it was a bit of a dead end, it was not too late to stay by my sister's side. Anyway, he was here today and the two of them would never want to see each other.
As soon as Murong Qiao heard what the third brother said, he immediately packed his things. "I just finished my brother, why don't you go now?"
As soon as Huo Yichen left, she didn't even have the mind to read. She was originally a drunkard, but now that these two brothers appeared by her side, Murong Qiao didn't plan to stay here anymore.
Moreover, Murong Zheng and Murong Chuan were handsome, and just now they came in to say a few words, and already several girls didn't bother to study and took pictures.
Murong Zheng glanced at the time, "Yes."
Today's calorie intake has not exceeded the standard, and it happened that he hadn't eaten with his sister for a long time, so Murong Zheng nodded understandably.
Murong Qiao heard the tone of the second brother Murong Zheng so plain that he couldn't find anything wrong, and the expression of the third brother Murong Chuan who didn't react too much, and inexplicably felt a bad premonition in his heart.
She always felt that these two people were thinking about Huo Yichen. Although there was no evidence, Murong Qiao's intuition was clamoring for this.
So the three of them left the study room and walked in the direction they came from.
Taking advantage of the two elder brothers walking in front without looking back, Murong Qiao seized the opportunity to send Huo Yichen a message.
【Seeking good luck. 】
She was afraid of being discovered, so she only sent these four words.
【? ] Huo Yichen replied with a question mark.
He pondered and was confused by the four words Murong Qiao sent, not understanding what happened after he left.
And this confusion lasted until the second day when the finance department was in class, and Huo Yichen suddenly realized it.
"Hi everyone, I'm Murong Chuan, and I'm your substitute teacher." A familiar person stood on the podium and introduced himself.
Murong Chuan pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at someone in the classroom meaningfully, and slightly curved his mouth.
"Mr. Li, who was in charge of this class, was ill and asked for leave from the school temporarily, so I will be in charge of this class for the time being." He explained briefly.
The students below also whispered what Murong Chuan said, most of them found it strange.
"Teacher Li will also ask for leave? He has always had the highest attendance rate, I remember."
"That's right, it stands to reason that no one who asks for leave, Mrs. Li, can't ask for leave, right? She values her class more than anything else..."
No matter what the students below talk about, the established facts are right in front of us.
The eyes of Murong Chuan and Huo Yichen met in the air amidst the discussion of the crowd, which made Huo Yichen more sure that Murong Chuan came for him.
Sure enough, in the following whole class, in every questioning and problem-solving session, the names Murong Chuan called were all Huo Yichen without exception.
