Chapter 204: Chapter 201: How wicked, do you lack a sensible boy by your side?
Wen Xian looked at the name and immediately raised her eyebrows slightly.
The name reminded her of some university professor’s online handle.
All of his so-called friends had names that were cool or flamboyant in the most ostentatious ways.
Wen Xian’s gaze flickered slightly before she looked up at the door. Finding no trace of Huo Qi, she quietly tapped on his phone screen.
After entering several digits as a password, she succeeded in gaining access.
Lu Xiao, watching her actions, had a ripple of surprise in his dark eyes, “You know his mobile password?”
He didn’t ask her what she was about to do.
After all, she had her own ideas, and even if what she did wasn’t right, he wouldn’t forcibly interfere.
Wen Xian clicked on WeChat to see who that person was and said, “Why would I need to guess the password? He’s been chasing me for two years, clinging to me, so of course, his lock screen password is my birthday.”
Indeed, he couldn’t possibly think of anything more complicated.
Lu Xiao’s expression changed subtly, “…”
At this moment, Wen Xian opened the chat with the person named “Gentle Breeze and Clear Sky” and was momentarily taken aback.
She saw a file in the chat box titled “Kekexili Rare Metals Geological Survey”.
Wen Xian’s brow furrowed instantly. What’s all this about?
Since when did Huo Qi, who had no academic inclination, get involved with scholarly activities?
As there were no prior chat records between the two, Wen Xian decided to enter his Moments.
There was an academic-related article posted last month, and upon clicking it, she was greeted by densely packed English text and an image of a man seated sideways at the beginning of the article.
It looked like he was in a laboratory, wearing a white lab coat, sitting at an experimental table with gold-rimmed silver glasses on, gloves on his hands, apparently extracting some rare substance from metals.
He was seriously engrossed, with no expression on his face. His side profile was sharp and refined, his skin fair and delicate, but his whole bearing exuded an aloof and proud demeanor, full of distance.
Wen Xian was initially stunned when she first laid eyes on him, but as soon as she recognized who it was, her eyes widened.
“Eh, isn’t this—” she hurriedly turned to Lu Xiao for confirmation, eyes wide, “Is this not the man who just left? I’m not mistaken, am I?”
The man had the same detached air as in the photo.
Lu Xiao’s gaze shifted, and he frowned slightly, “He’s a geology professor sent from the Science Academy; what about it?”
Wen Xian was taken aback, looking at Lu Xiao, “He knows… Huo Qi?”
Lu Xiao paused for a moment before calmly responding, “Not sure.”
“Then he’s staying here?”
Wen Xian raised her eyebrows.
Lu Xiao replied somberly, “He’s here to collect some minerals he needs, so he should be staying here for about half a month.”
As he spoke, he hesitated, then slowly looked up at her, “What are you asking all this for?”
Truth be told, she was just curious to see who the person was. But with Lu Xiao asking like that, indeed, a certain… wicked idea flashed across her mind.
And it was becoming increasingly… sinister.
A geology professor, his life must be… quite dull, right? He wouldn’t mind a bit of noise around him, would he?
Right, he definitely wouldn’t mind, especially since he isn’t going to be here for very long.
“Don’t worry about it for now,” she said.
As Wen Xian turned back to the chat, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her smile growing more mischievous. Her fingers swiftly composed a message:
[Wow, big brother, you’re really amazing. A man as incredible as you must have met plenty of sensible girls. How about meeting a sensible boy?]
