Chapter 74 Exposing and Misunderstanding
After getting their food at the cafeteria, Huo Yuhao and his group went to a pavilion not far away.
The cafeteria at Shrek Academy doesn't have tables and chairs, so students usually get their meals and eat back in their dorms, or just find a convenient place to eat.
Since Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao teamed up, the three of them have basically been eating together. They knew exactly which area between the cafeteria and the teaching building was the best for eating.
The pavilion they've come to is a very rare and wonderful place.
Logically speaking, these kinds of places should be very difficult to book. They're especially popular with older couples.
However, due to Huo Yuhao's infamous reputation, many people, knowing that they frequently came here, would voluntarily give up the place in order not to offend anyone or to show goodwill.
Of course, Huo Yuhao and his two companions weren't really aware of the intricacies involved. After all, it was just a meal, and they weren't going to think about it that much.
Huo Yuhao put the soft and tender earthworm tendon stewed in the academy cafeteria into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Xiao Xiao took a small sip of the pheasant and ginseng soup, but her eyes kept glancing at Huo Yuhao. What Wang Dong had said earlier made her even more concerned about what had happened to Huo Yuhao last night.
She put down the porcelain bowl of soup and stared straight at Huo Yuhao, making no attempt to hide her thoughts.
"So, Yuhao, what exactly did you and that senior Ma Xiaotao do yesterday? Wang Dong said you didn't come home all night!"
Wang Dong, who had the same idea, also came over, her fair face showing an undeniable serious expression.
Huo Yuhao knew he couldn't escape and would have to give an explanation. After pondering for a moment, he put down his chopsticks, glanced at the two people staring intently at him, and said calmly, "Actually, it's nothing much. She just had a burst of evil fire, and I helped her suppress it. Then I just cultivated there until this morning."
The two looked at him suspiciously, as if they didn't believe him.
Wang Dong was even more blunt, directly using sarcasm, "It ended in the morning, so why didn't you come to class? There's definitely something fishy going on between you two! Confess!"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Wang Dong discreetly, inwardly wanting to complain. But without a doubt, the most important thing now was to get the truth out of Huo Yuhao. Xiao Xiao carefully examined Huo Yuhao and immediately noticed something fishy.
"Yuhao, I think your school uniform isn't the same one you wore yesterday, is it?" As she spoke, Xiao Xiao boldly moved closer, sniffing Huo Yuhao's scent right in front of Wang Dong. Before Wang Dong could react, she revealed her guess, "You took a shower, and you changed your uniform. So, where's the one you took off?"
Huo Yuhao immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had clearly made preparations, but he still messed up with Xiao Xiao. Now he was backed into a corner and had to spend time explaining himself.
However, lies can only be covered up with countless lies. Huo Yuhao did not just make up lies on the spot. He told seven parts of the truth and concealed three parts of the details, which was often more convincing.
"After my senior's temper flared up, I got all sweaty helping her. Since you guys were in class, I took the opportunity to go back to my dorm and take a hot bath. After all, it's a rare opportunity!" As he spoke, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but give Wang Dong a resentful glance.
Wang Dong immediately looked away, coughed lightly a couple of times, feeling a little guilty, and said, "Alright, alright, let's eat, let's eat!"
Xiao Xiao wanted to ask more questions, but since Wang Dong had already said that, she couldn't continue. Besides, if a girl is pushed too hard, her lover might run away. Xiao Xiao knew this well and wouldn't want to narrow her own path.
Only a fool would pull in the net before the prey has even walked into it!
The three of them didn't continue their previous conversation, so Huo Yuhao was considered to have passed the test safely.
Not long after they finished their lunch, a hot, black-haired girl suddenly walked over. It was none other than Zhu Lu, the Netherworld Cat, whom they hadn't seen for two days.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a puzzled look, unable to understand why Zhu Lu had come to them on her own.
Zhu Lu didn't try to hide it, staring straight at Huo Yuhao, revealing her intentions clearly.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were even more confused. Wasn't Zhu Lu Dai Huabin's fiancée? What did she mean by coming to see Huo Yuhao? Dai Huabin and Huo Yuhao had a grudge against each other, so Zhu Lu's visit to Huo Yuhao was even more baffling.
Before the three could speak, Zhu Lu cut to the chase and revealed her purpose: "If it's convenient, Huo Yuhao, I'd like to talk to you alone."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong immediately glared at him angrily. "A private talk? You already have a fiancé! Why are you still looking for Huo Yuhao? I was here first! Why are you all trying to get on the bus before me?"
Just as Wang Dong was about to burst into a tirade, a cold hand suddenly landed on his neck, and the unexpected attack made Wang Dong shiver involuntarily.
Once he regained his senses, he turned his head and glared at Huo Yuhao, then sullenly turned his head away and turned his back.
Xiao Xiao didn't react as strongly as Wang Dong, but she still scrutinized Zhu Lu, her obvious wariness quite obvious.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself that his godfather really knew how to intensify his problems. The already complicated emotional issues had now been given a blatant external stimulus.
If things ever go wrong, Qian Duoduo will definitely be the one primarily responsible!
With a bitter expression, Huo Yuhao nodded helplessly, then winked at Xiao Xiao before saying to Zhu Lu, "My dad sent you to see me yesterday, right? Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are people I trust. Can we just say what we need to say here?"
Zhu Lu shook her head and said seriously, "I don't want anyone else to know about my situation, so..."
"Alright then. Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, wait for me here for a while." With that, Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu walked towards the nearby grove of trees.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had really followed Zhu Lu, Wang Dong became anxious and was about to follow, but Xiao Xiao stopped him.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see Huo Yuhao leave with that woman?"
"Hmm, so what?"
"So what? What if that guy Huo Yuhao—" Before Wang Dong could finish speaking, Xiao Xiao's words had already reached Wang Dong's ears.
"You like Yuhao, right?"
The truth was revealed on the spot, and Wang Dong stood there stunned as if struck by lightning. He didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Xiao.
"There's nothing wrong with being of the same sex, but I can't let Yuhao be led astray by you like this. So Wang Dong, I may have to stop your actions."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Xiao and took a long time to react.
When he realized what Xiao Xiao meant, his pinkish-blue eyes widened instantly, and Wang Dong could hardly believe his ears!
Xiao Xiao was referring to herself.
