517: You Have Blown Your Cover

You Have Blown Your Cover

Yi Lianfan's desk buddy touched his nose and said, "Someone from the boys' hostel sent the screenshot in the group chat. The girl has become a real hit off late. I heard she was a student here, so I asked if you knew who she was."0

Since Yi Lianfan studied like a fanatic and did not waste time watching television, he was unaware that Huo Yao had joined this live stream program.

Yi Lianfan did not respond to his question and only asked. "Is she very popular? What do you mean by that?"

"Have you watched 'Countryside Life With My Family'? She became a hit after joining the program. Also, I heard she studies here," explained his desk buddy in brief.

"No, I haven't watched it." Yi Lianfan shook his head before he returned the phone. He retrieved his own phone and searched on the internet. Sure enough, a bunch of video clips popped up in his search.

He tapped on one of the videos and took a close look. It was undoubtedly Huo Yao.

Huo Yao surprisingly appeared on an entertainment program.

Yi Lianfan was stunned.

His friend could not help asking when he noticed Yi Lianfan's reaction. "Did you recognize the girl?"

Yi Lianfan snapped out of his daze. He contemplated before he replied. "Nope."

Since Huo Yao did not show her face on the program, she must have had no intention of letting the people at school know about it, so he could not admit to recognizing her.

"I see. I thought you suddenly reacted that way because you knew her identity." Yi Lianfan's friend was unsuspecting. After all, he was keenly aware that Yi Lianfan was only interested in studying.

Yi Lianfan's friend coughed before he continued gossiping., "A guy at the hostel started to ask around about the girl after he watched the show. He is trying to find out whether she is from our school."

Even though Huo Yao was ranked first in school, she usually kept a rather low profile and did not mingle around much.

Also, she was like a goddess when it came to studying, so no one would join the dots and think that she was the girl on 'Countryside Life With My Family'.

Yi Lianfan turned his phone nonchalantly and said after some time, "She doesn't look like a student from our school."

"Maybe." His desk buddy shrugged.

Yi Lianfan glanced at him. He looked unusually concerned and said, "Rather than wasting your time chasing gossip, you should revise more."

Yi Lianfan spoke even more seriously as he thought about the pile of test papers he had sitting at home which he received from Huo Yao. "I will bring some test papers tomorrow. Can you collate a list of people in the class who didn't do well during the last test? They have to work harder so that they don't make our class look bad."

Yi Lianfan's friend looked at him speechlessly. After some time, he finally said, "You are such a monster."

He was also one of the people who did not do as well in the last test.

Yi Lianfan pursed his lips and smiled. "Thank you for the compliment."

Yi Lianfan looked away happily. He pondered for two seconds before he tapped his phone again and texted Huo Yao.

[Friend, your cover is about to be blown.]

Huo Yao found it puzzling that he would say this, so she replied: [?]

Yi Lianfan said nothing after she sent the message and seemed as though he was deliberately not replying to her.

Although Huo Yao found this odd, she stopped probing. Instead, she sat in the quietest corner in the library and continued to read.

Her phone vibrated at the table after 4:00 pm.
