It was already 9:30 pm by the time Huo Yao got back to the hotel. On her way back, the Dean had already called her twice.
In his first call, he told Huo Yao that she scored full marks in the National Quiz Contest and had qualified for the finals.
In his second call, he told her to take care and not stay out late. He instructed her to come back to the hotel to have an early night and prepare for the finals, which were being held the next day.
Huo Yao assured the Dean repeatedly before he ended his conversation with her.
She took out a change of clothes after she returned to her room, took a shower, and lay on her bed. She stared at the ceiling as she thought about the accident.
She had noticed the motorcycle aiming at her for first, but it changed course after coming closer. It distinctly altered its direction when Min Yu pulled her away.
