487: Most Bizarre Thing Of The Year

Most Bizarre Thing Of The Year

Tong Yu tapped open his chat with Huo Yao and did not notice anything to be amiss, so he said, "My app looks normal. Can you send me another text?"2

Huo Yao sent him an emoticon but was blocked. "I think you blacklisted me."

Huo Yao suddenly remembered someone whom she had blacklisted.

"Blacklisted? How could I have blacklisted you…"

Tong Yu exclaimed as he shook his head and opened the settings to check the list of blacklisted numbers. The moment he saw Huo Yao's name on the list, his words stopped abruptly.

This was insane!

When did he blacklist Huo Yao?

Tong Yu rubbed his eyes. He seriously felt that he had just encountered the most bizarre thing of the year.

He swiftly unblocked Huo Yao.

"I really don't know why you ended up getting blacklisted. I swear I have never done anything so unethical," explained Tong Yu solemnly.

Even if he blacklisted Huo Xiang, he would never have done it to Huo Yao.

Although Huo Yao found this matter to be strange, she did not harp on the subject any longer. Instead, she said, "It's no big deal. I don't have a problem doing the ad tomorrow. I can take leave from the school."

"Great. I will pick both of you up at 9:00 am," said Tong Yu.

"Bye."

Before long, Tong Yu hung up the phone and stared at its screen for a long time.

He could not wrap his mind around how Huo Yao's texts ended up getting blocked by him.

Tong Yu shook his head. He raised his head perplexedly to look around the living room, dining room, followed by the studio.

Had Huo Xiang not come out while he was on the phone? Where did he go?

Huo Yao texted her homeroom teacher, Chen Yu, after hanging up the call with Tong Yu.

Since Huo Yao was an extraordinary student and incredibly obedient, even though Huo Yao did not give any reason for taking leave, Chen Yu approved it without hesitation.

Huo Yao smiled when she received Chen Yu's reply and put her phone away happily.

Before long, the banquet commenced.

Considering Min Yu's identity, Old Mr. Yi did not arrange for Huo Yao and Min Yu to sit at the main table. Since he did not seat any other guests at their table either, it was deemed as special treatment anyways.

Huo Yao was a little hungry, so she did not hold back and started eating.

Halfway through dinner, there was a toasting session. After the host was done toasting everyone, the guests were free to do whatever they wanted.

Pei Feng looked at Huo Yao and Min Yu's table every now and then. Before long, he walked over with a glass of wine.

His intentions were clear.

"Young Master Min." Pei Feng smiled as he nodded to Min Yu reverently.

Min Yu did not respond to Pei Feng right away. Instead, he continued getting food for Huo Yao. Half a minute later, he set the chopsticks down and raised his head to look at Pei Feng.

"I don't drink. Thanks." Min Yu looked cold.

Pei Feng's hand went stiff and his face froze as well. A few seconds later, he said awkwardly, "T-tea works too."

Min Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip before putting it down. He shifted his eyes away without saying anything.
