Wu Miao looked stupefied when Huo Yao threw the question at her. Then Huo Yao took the sheet of paper and taught her Laplace’s equation.
“...so this is the result. Do you understand now?” Huo Yao spoke particularly slowly as though she was a teacher coaching a student and was worried that Wu Miao might not understand.
After her explanation, even the live stream room’s netizens knew what the equation was all about, let alone Wu Miao.
[Oh god! Which one of you said she was trying to create hype? She’s a middle school student, but she solved a question that the freshman couldn’t. Can you still call her pretentious?]
[Shen Si and Wu Miao’s faces must be burning in shame now, right?]
[HAHA! She wanted to throw the paper away, but they insisted on butting in. Tsk tsk... Now they ended up embarrassing themselves.]
[Brains are really useful, so I hope Shen Si and Wu Miao can find them too.]
[Huo Xiang’s little sister is awesome. She conducted an online class and showed these villains a thing or two.]
Wu Miao and Shen Si had yet to catch wind of the comments in the live stream room. They had stunned expressions on their faces for a long time. Hence, Yin Hai and Xiao Moling tried to help change the topic and ease the mood.
Shen Si and Wu Miao finally realized that they should not have offended Huo Yao. Despite feeling humiliated, they stopped provoking her.
At lunchtime, Huo Yao did not eat with them as usual.
Shortly after she left the courtyard, someone from the production team invited her to eat with the staff.
Huo Yao contemplated for a moment but did not turn down the offer and headed backstage.
Qu Yi was holding a take-out box when he saw Huo Yao come over. He pointed at the table beside him and handed her a box of food. “Take a seat.”
He sounded rather easygoing.
An employee looked at Qu Yi quizzically. The director always had a cold and eccentric personality. Why was he treating a young girl like Huo Yao so differently?
“Thanks.” Huo Yao nodded politely.
She removed her mask to have lunch.
It was the first time that Qu Yi saw Huo Yao’s face. She looked pretty and had an elegant aura. It was clear that they were siblings judging from the likeness between Huo Yao and Huo Xiang.
“It’s a waste not to work in the entertainment industry with a face like yours,” said Qu Yi after some time.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “You aren’t the first one to say this.”
“Great minds think alike.” Qu Yi nodded in agreement.
Huo Yao smiled politely without responding.
“Would you consider showing your face in the next episode?” asked the director as he raised his head and looked at her.
Huo Yao shook her head and replied without hesitation. “No, thanks. It’s a bother to show my face.”
She paused before adding. “But you can try to minimize my airtime.”
A bewildered expression emerged on Qu Yi’s face. “Most people are dying for more airtime. But you don’t want it.”
“It doesn’t mean much to me since I’m not in this business,” said Huo Yao as she shrugged.
“It’s such a pity!” Qu Yi shook his head.
This young woman was performing well in the show and had become a hot topic. However, she had no interest in entering into the industry.
Qu Yi did not force her and said, “Fine. I get it.”
At worst, he could always give Huo Xiang more airtime.
Huo Yao lowered their head and continued eating quietly.
