Huo Yao looked at Yuan Xi sideways. She took her laptop from under her pillow and placed it inside her luggage before she asked. "Where is your hometown?"
"I am a local," replied Yuan Xi.
Huo Yao was a little surprised. She always thought that this young woman was from out of town. After all, Yuan Xi had a slightly different accent.
"Aren't you going home for the holiday?" asked Huo Yao.
Yuan Xi lowered her eyes slightly and seemed unenthusiastic about the topic. "I'll pass. I am sick of staying home. It is more fun staying on campus, so I prefer to live here."
Huo Yao noticed something amiss with Yuan Xi's expression, but simply acknowledged softly without probing.
After Huo Yao was more or less done packing her luggage, her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Chen Ming calling, so she promptly answered it.
"Huh? Is Uncle Changfeng in town? In that case, I will be out in a minute."
