No one knew the temperature at the bottom of those eyes that reflected the cold light.

The next moment, the book he was holding snapped open in his hand.

“I said I don’t need it.”

Qingya’s voice grew even colder.

He turned around, but Huo Qi quickly stopped him again. He rubbed his sore wrist, a hint of displeasure appearing in his beautiful, peach-blossom eyes:

“No offense, man, but what do you mean? Do you really think I’m a beggar?!”

With that, he squinted his eyes: “If you don’t let me do this today, I won’t let you leave!”

Man: “…”

His lips pressed together, as if he had never seen such impoliteness.

Finally, the bus arrived at the station and, with no other choice as he was blocked, the man pulled out his cellphone.

“Hey, now that’s more like it. You help me, and I’ll repay you tenfold. I won’t let you lose out!”

Huo Qi quickly scanned his WeChat QR code to add him as a friend.

Hmm?

What appeared was an avatar of a tree he had never seen before, named—”A Gentle Breeze Blows.”

Huo Qi licked his lips, pondered for a moment, and nodded. Indeed, intellectual people have different ways of naming things.

He had noticed him reading a book in English since he got on. Was he trying to make it hard for him to sleep?

After the man got off the bus, he saw a friend request with the name:

[Your Little Cutie]

“…”

His eyes stiffened for a moment, and three black lines slid down his forehead.

He then ignored it completely, put his phone in his pocket, and walked away.

The bus continued to move slowly.

Huo Qi leaned against the window and saw a few muscular men picking him up.

What does this guy do?

…

“Professor Xiao, we are from the Kekexili jurisdiction. You’ve had a rough journey. Please come with us from here,”

Ga Zhuo spoke as someone took his luggage.

His voice was gentle and soft: “No worries, I can manage on my own.”

This man was none other than the geologist and physicist dispatched by the Science Academy, Xiao Yixing.

Several hours later, an SUV blocked a bus.

As the bus started to leave, Wen Xian quickly aimed a kick at Huo Qi:

“Can’t you stop causing trouble for me for even one day? What’s a delicate young master like you doing adding chaos here!”

Huo Qi agilely dodged, “Oh, my Xianxian, what trouble could I possibly have? You underestimate me, young master!”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw someone and his eyes widened slightly, “Eh…!? You came along as well, bodyguard!?”

Lu Xiao just stood by a nearby car, arms crossed, his face expressionless.

Upon hearing this, he paid no heed but merely gave him an icy glance.

Huo Qi walked over and circled him, eyeing him up and down. He suddenly frowned and said:

“Xianxian, did you know this bodyguard before?”

Wen Xian paused when she heard this.

She glanced at Lu Xiao, whose gaze was indifferent, showing no emotion.

Her eyes flickered and she sharply said: “Wasn’t he the bodyguard you found for me?! Why ask such a question!”

It’s not that she wanted to deceive Huo Qi, but she knew he would definitely throw a tantrum if he found out, making it known that she had a man.

Huo Qi frowned, staring at Lu Xiao, and somberly said: “I just feel something is off—could I have been used?”

Wen Xian’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly patted his shoulder: “No way, only useless people get used!”

Upon hearing this, Huo Qi instantly brightened up and laughed: “Right, no issues there. I’m too smart to be useless!”
