Chapter 1210: I Was Just Helping

Mi Wei opened the medicine bottle and a strong lotus scent could be smelled. He narrowed his eyes as he inhaled it. Moments later, he put the cap back on and looked happy.

Other than Yu, no one else was capable of refining this medicine.

Mi Wei tightened his grip on the pill bottle slightly. He was relieved that she was still alive. He was glad to know that the technology which the family ancestors had painstakingly developed, worked.

Mi Wei quickly composed himself. He took out his phone and checked the calendar.

He decided to head back to the clan in a couple of days.

As for Yu… Mi Wei sighed and decided to find her after he was done sending the medicinal pills back home.

Meanwhile, at the campus.

After the exams were over in the morning, Huo Yao went straight to the self-study class.

Yuan Xi went back to the dormitory and heard her next-door neighbors discussing something excitedly, so she signed into the school forum.

Before long, she clicked on the Biology department section and saw a post about the National Research Institute of Science and Technology collaborating with the department.

Yuan Xi was always a nosy parker especially since the news was related to the Biology department. After looking at everyone’s posts, she quickly accessed her WeChat and asked Huo Yao where she was.

Before long, Yuan Xi headed over to the self-study room.

Since there were hardly any people there, Yuan Xi quickly spotted Huo Yao sitting right in the corner. She entered from the back door and walked straight upto her.

“Yao.” Yuan Xi sat down beside Huo Yao and called her softly.

Huo Yao gradually raised her head. She was unsurprised to see Yuan Xi. “Uh huh.”

Yuan Xi told her about the hot topic on the school forum. She took out her phone and tapped on it before asking. “Are you really on the research team?”

Huo Yao remained calm. She was unsurprised that people already found out about the research project, so she simply nodded calmly. She replied in a cool voice. “It’s no big deal. I was just helping.”

Yuan Xi’s lips twitched. “In that case, why didn’t anyone ask me to help?”

Huo Yao raised her brow. “Did you come all the way here just to ask me this?”

“Nope. I just felt happy that our department has finally made an important academic contribution.”

Yuan Xi rested her chin on both hands and said, “It’s the institute we are talking about. Even the other more popular divisions have yet to partner up with the institute all these years. Our division is finally going to be a hit!”

They used to be an unpopular division, but they were now the hottest topic in school. It was just a matter of time before they changed the fate of the division.

“That’s great.” Huo Yao nodded before veering her eyes and continuing to read the book on the table.

Yuan Xi noticed her composure and suddenly lost all her excitement. She cleared her throat and lay prone on the table, continuing to swipe through her phone.

Two more people entered the self-study room.

They were none other than Jiang Mingyue and Mu Qing.

Jiang Mingyue was carrying two books in her hands. She glanced around the self-study room and was about to tell Mu Qing about empty seats in the third row when she inadvertently caught sight of Huo Yao sitting in the back row. The smile on her face froze instantly.

After pausing briefly, she quickly snapped out of her thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Mu Qing. Just as she was about to suggest using some other self-study room, Mu Qing had caught sight of Huo Yao.

“Mingyue, it’s Huo Yao. Why don’t we sit with her?” suggested Mu Qing.
