The moment he saw the chocolate, Jing Li couldn't help but feel in a daze for a few seconds. He came to his senses and couldn't help but chuckle out loud. Then he raised his eyes and looked at him, "Did you steal it from Yueyue?"

Everyone knows that Miss Huo Yueyan likes to eat candy. Such a unique and niche chocolate probably only comes from her.

When Huo Qiran heard this, he just smiled slightly and signaled her to taste it.

Jingli opened the candy paper, took out the chocolate inside, put it in her mouth, felt the chocolate melting on the tip of her tongue, nodded, and said, "It's delicious, Yueyue is really good at eating chocolate!"

After hearing this, Huo Qiran wanted to say something, but when he said something, he swallowed it again.

Jing Li continued to look down at the book in his hand. Huo Qiran sat next to him and also picked up a book. As soon as he turned two pages, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked up his cell phone and found that it was a question sent by Tong Jing, a junior sister from the laboratory.

Huo Qiran patiently answered her. Tong Jing took in the same way and raised more questions, so that Huo Qiran could only use his mobile phone to reply.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mu Qian walked downstairs, saw them, and chuckled, “You are here.”

"Aunt Mu." Jing Li came to his senses and raised the book in his hand and said, "This book is beautiful, I am fascinated by it."

"Look, I'll come down to find a material book for Stewart." Mu Qian said as she walked towards the bookshelf, her eyes falling on Huo Qiran who was concentrating on typing on her phone. Suddenly, she took the book from the bookshelf behind her and tapped it gently on Huo Qiran's head, "Are you sitting here just to play with your phone?"

Huo Qiran looked at her helplessly and showed her mobile phone page unreservedly in front of Mu Qian.

"Tong Jing?" Mu Qian seemed to have only seen one name, "The youngest sister in your laboratory, right? I saw it from afar last time and she looks quite cute. What's going on? It's not enough for you to be in the laboratory every day, and you still have endless messages when you get home?"

At this time, whether as a good friend, an old classmate or an ordinary friend, it seems a bit unreasonable to gossip, so Jingli was soon attracted by this topic and leaned over and said, "A very cute little junior sister? Then I want to see, do you have any photos?"

"Yes." Mu Qian said immediately, "Every time they have dinner in their laboratory, there must be a group photo in the group."

Jing Li and Mu Qian looked at each other and smiled, "Maybe...whether there are separate photos on his phone?"

Mu Qian pulled out the book he was looking for, shrugged and said, "Then I don't know, you can ask him yourself."

After saying this, Mu Qian turned around and left with the book.

Jing Li looked at Huo Qiran again, "Let's take a look?"

Huo Qiran is really helpless.

Mu Qian's biological mother has always been helpless, but the key is that Jing Li is actually...?

He spread his hands and signaled that he had no photos.

"Impossible." Jing Li said, "Aunt Mu said that you have photos on your phone, so show me. Don't be so stingy. I only look at the photos, and I won't scare you away..."

Huo Qiran couldn't make a sound, so he could only wave his hands repeatedly.

Seeing his avoidant attitude, Jing Li seemed even more interested. He couldn't help but reach out and grabbed his sleeve, "I'm so unwilling to show it to others. You're not a friend enough? If I leave in a few days, I won't have a chance to see your girlfriend again. If you get married, I will definitely not be able to drink the wedding banquet. What's wrong with you just let me take a look?"

Listening to what she said, Huo Qiran couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, but he couldn't make a sound, which was really frightening. When he was anxious, his throat itched again. He turned his head and coughed violently.

Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Jing Li was startled and quickly reached out to pat his back, slapped him and said, "Okay, okay, I won't look anymore, don't worry..."

Seeing that Huo Qiran's cough finally calmed down, Jing Li picked up the thermos on the table and handed it to him. Huo Qiran drank two sips of water before he calmed down.

Seeing his appearance, Jing Li couldn't help asking again: "Is it really impossible to take a look at him?"

Huo Qiran choked suddenly and started coughing again.

Jing Li hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, just be beaten to death. You can wait for a while."

She sat back to her previous seat, picked up the book she had just now, and continued to open the pages and read them.

Huo Qiran sat next to him, quietly drank a few sips of water, suddenly picked up his cell phone, opened the group chat in the laboratory, flipped over for a long time, and finally got the photo of the latest dinner party, opened it, and handed it to Jingli.

Jing Li was stunned, then took the phone and looked at the person in the photo carefully.

The background of the photo is a barbecue restaurant, with seven or eight people sitting together, the only girl among them is probably the junior sister named Tong Jing. The other men on the table looked a little perfunctory in front of the camera, and she was the only one who even had a styling, and she looked really well-behaved and cute.

Just looking at Huo Qiran in the photo, Jing Li was stunned for a moment.

The two of them didn't sit together, but were separated by two people.

Huo Qiran waited for her to see it almost, and then marked a few more photos forward, and it was time for the last dinner party.

They are still those people, Tong Jing is still the only girl, and there are still others between her and Huo Qiran.

Huo Qiran continued to flip up, flipping through five or six photos in a row, and none of them were sitting next to each other.

After seeing the photos, Jing Li suddenly turned to look at him after a moment of quietness, "Why are you not sitting together? Is it to avoid suspicion? Or are you two underground?"

Huo Qiran coughed twice again, took back his phone and was about to type, brayden suddenly appeared again, and saw the two people sitting there, saying, "Why are you still sitting here? I found a retro game upstairs. The more people, the more fun it is. Let's go up and play together!"

"Okay." Jing Li responded quickly, and when he wanted to put down the book in his hand, he felt reluctant to let it go. Then he turned to Huo Qiran, "Can you lend this book to me first? I promise to return it before leaving Tongcheng."

Huo Qiran paused and nodded slowly.

"Thank you!" Jing Li blinked his eyes and looked brilliant. Then he stood up and followed Brayden's footsteps and left the bookstore.

Huo Qiran did it for a while, finally picked up his phone, opened Jingli's chat box, and sent a message:

"The little junior sister is just a little junior sister, and she has no suspicion and no underground."
