Yu Jingchen realized that he shouldn't have peeped into Huo Yuanchen's privacy, but his eyesight was too good. With just a glance, he saw that Wen Li's chat box on the phone screen had not been updated. The latest message on it was, "Professor Huo, I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the venue. When can you adjourn the meeting?"

He couldn't help but ask, "Wen Li almost missed the plane today because he went to the venue to wait for you?"

Huo Yuanchen replied indifferently, "Yeah."

"You didn't tell Wen Li that the meeting was cancelled?"

"Um."

Yu Jingchen nodded sympathetically, "No wonder she was angry."

Huo Yuanchen looked at him again with great displeasure.

Yu Jingchen didn't dare to say anything else and turned to watch TV. After watching for a while, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his head and said, "No, I remember you didn't come to school today, but went directly to the airport?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't look at him or say anything.

Yu Jingchen took out his phone and looked at it, then said with certainty, "You really didn't come. You went to the hospital early in the morning. The mother of the poor student named Li Hong under your command seems to have surgery tomorrow. Did you secretly go to help her pay for the surgery?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything.

He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. Yu Jingchen knew he was right and continued, "Li Hong is also very inspiring. A girl who grew up in a single-parent family, she relied on her hard work to get out of the poor county and study for a master's degree. I heard that she plans to continue to study for a doctorate under you. It's really rare. Her mother is not easy either. She is a rural woman with little education. She relies on setting up a snack stand to support her daughter's education. She gets up early and goes to bed late, and her health is damaged. It's a good thing that you help them. There is nothing to hide."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at him and said coldly, "Just let it be known to you."

Yu Jingchen knew that he didn't want more people to know. He thought about it and smiled, "Are you afraid that Li Hong will pay you back if she finds out? Although she doesn't make money now, with her ability and education, she will definitely be able to pay you back in the future."

Huo Yuanchen glared at him impatiently and said calmly, "Li Hong came to me yesterday and said that she didn't want to study for a doctorate anymore and wanted to start working as soon as possible."

Yu Jingchen was surprised. "Did she really say that? That's a pity. You are a very down-to-earth and careful student. You are a good candidate for scientific research."

He thought for a moment and spoke uncertainly, "Did you forget to inform Wen Li about the cancellation of the meeting because you were rushing to pay Li Hong's mother's fees?"

Huo Yuanchen said calmly, "If I forget, I forget. Why should I make excuses for myself?"

In fact, he still felt that Wen Li was not important. There was no need for him to explain so much to her. She could be angry if she wanted to. What did it have to do with him?

Who is she to him?

Yu Jingchen asked him again, "I heard from Zhou Ying that Wen Li called you and the line was always busy. Were you talking to Li Hong at that time? Convincing her not to give up her doctoral studies?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at him speechlessly and said, "It's not like I'm not going back. Why should I persuade a student to continue her studies when she's worried about her family?"

Yu Jingchen asked curiously, "Who were you talking to on the phone? You talked for so long that your phone ran out of battery."

Huo Yuanchen said without any emotion, "With An Wen. She was worried about me and called to wish me a safe journey."

In fact, it didn't take long. He forgot to charge his phone last night and went to the hospital early in the morning, so he naturally had no chance to charge it. Later, An Wen called and after a few more words, her phone turned off. The power bank was in the suitcase, and it was inconvenient for him to take it out, so he waited until he got on the plane to charge his phone.

But, after all, he did forget to inform Wen Li, which was his fault. So he went to apologize to Wen Li just now and also proposed a remedy.

She even lost her temper with him because she was too petty.

It's not like she hasn't stood him up before, so why can she do it but he can't?

Yu Jingchen didn't know what to say. He understood the whole story and felt that Wen Li's anger was understandable. Anyone would be angry. But Huo Yuanchen didn't mean it.

However, just by looking at Huo Yuanchen's attitude, it was clear that it was completely wishful thinking for him to put aside his pride and coax Wen Li to calm down.

L country is a foreign country, unlike Haishi. Wen Li is a girl who is unfamiliar with the place. Her only support is Huo Yuanchen. The two of them are quarreling now. If something really happens, it will be a disaster.

For Zhou Ying's sake, Yu Jingchen wanted to bring Wen Li and Huo Yuanchen together. He made an excuse, saying he was hungry and needed to eat, and ran outside to buy a bouquet of flowers.

He asked the florist to write a card on the flowers, and the owner asked him, "What do you want to write?"

Yu Jingchen had no experience in sending flowers. Even if he was going to pretend to be Huo Yuanchen and send flowers to Wen Li, he couldn't say anything cheesy. He just said, "Whatever. I wish you happiness every day. The most important thing is..."

He wanted to say that the most important thing is the signature, and the person sending the flowers should sign "Huo".

Before he could finish his words, he was caught by Wen Li. She couldn't sleep, so she wandered around nearby. When she saw Yu Jingchen from a distance, she came over to greet him and asked him, "Professor Yu, who are you buying flowers for? Do you have any friends in Country L?"

Yu Jingchen couldn't pretend anymore. He didn't want Wen Li to misunderstand him and someone else, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "These are the flowers I wanted to give you. I can see that you are not very happy during this journey."

Just as the boss had finished writing the card, Yu Jingchen asked him to give the flowers to Wen Li.

Wen Li took it and smelled it first. It smelled good. Then he saw the words written on the card, "Wen Li, I wish you always smile."

She felt much happier all of a sudden, and was very touched as she thanked Yu Jingchen, "Thank you, Professor Yu, this bouquet of flowers is so beautiful."

Yu Jingchen followed her words and said, "As long as you like it."

The two of them walked around together for a while, and Yu Jingchen asked her, "Have you been to Country L before?"

Wen Li shook his head, "No, this is my first time in Country L."

Yu Jingchen advised her, "Then you'd better be careful. Overseas is different from China. It is legal to carry guns here. You are a girl, and it's your first time here. It's best not to go out alone. It's better to find someone to accompany you."

Wen Li thanked him for his kindness. She knew she had to be careful, but she had no choice. Her parents were old and couldn't come to Country L with her. In order to find her brother's whereabouts, she had to come in person no matter how dangerous the place was.

The two of them walked around for a while and then went back. When they walked to the hotel lobby, they met Huo Yuanchen.

He seemed to have just found the front desk, and no one knew why. When he saw them come in together, he didn't say hello. He looked at them with a distant expression and then looked away.

Later, when they took the elevator, he didn't wait for them. He pressed the close button and went up alone.
