"Hello?" Gu Xiao Xiao was strangely nervous as she took the call.

"Where are you?"

This is the first phone call between Gu Xiao Xiao and Chu Yi Chen. His low voice from the phone didn't seem to carry the coldness he emitted when they had met in person.

"My tutoring session just ended. I am taking the subway back to campus now," Gu Xiao Xiao answered honestly.

"I'm at work. Walk over, I'll drive you back."

It was a short statement and Chu Yi Chen hung up right after making it, not giving Gu Xiao Xiao the chance to reject him. As her phone screen dimmed down, Gu Xiao Xiao thought about it and ultimately ran her way back to the office.

The condo area truly isn't far from her office. Normally, by walking, it would only take around 20 minutes.

When she arrived, Gu Xiao Xiao stopped her steps while huffing and puffing. A grey BMW was parked before Feng Yang Corporation. It was a common model, Not exactly high class, but not low key either.

She walked over to look at who was in the driver's seat and saw it really was Chu Yi Chen. Gu Xiao Xiao opened the door and got inside. She buckled her seatbelt and sat there unmovingly.

"Really, there is no need to trouble you. School isn't far from here and it's not exactly on the way for you." Gu Xiao Xiao answered in a soft voice with her head lowered.

Chu Yi Chen ignored her and turned on the heater. The temperature in the car began to rise, warming Gu Xiao Xiao up and allowing her body to relax. She snuck a peek at the person beside her. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Chu Yi Chen did not speak. Gu Xiao Xiao also could not find an excuse to speak so she merely watched the incoming traffic from the window. The high temperature inside the car fogged up the car window. Gu Xiao Xiao subconsciously doodled on it using her finger.

Chu Yi Chen peered at the words she wrote on his window and smiled.

"How do you feel about Feng Yang?"

"How do I feel?" Gu Xiao Xiao thought about it and answered, "Feng Yang Corporation is a top-notch company even internationally. You go to work around there, so you should know."

"That's right. I am familiar with Feng Yang. Maybe we will even get the chance to collaborate in the future." Chu Yi Chen spoke and peeked at Gu Xiao Xiao from the side of his eyes.

Compared to the day when they ran into each other on campus when she wore a panda hat, today, Gu Xiao Xiao had without a doubt, transformed into a young woman.

A light grey matching pantsuit that was simple but cool, matched with a beige colored long jacket that made her look efficient and badass. Her delicate and pale white face was starting to redden due to the temperature inside the car.

Gu Xiao Xiao nodded at that thought. He has heard from Chu Xiao Xi that Chu Yi Chen works in a foreign corporation. Though she wasn't sure which company it is, if it collaborates with Feng Yang, it's not just any ordinary company.

This person truly is as he looks… he is capable…

Gu Xiao Xiao mumbled to herself and exclaimed silently. She suddenly remembered their last encounter at University B.

"Did you graduate from my school as well?"

"No." Chu Yi Chen knew why she asked this and explained, "The professor I had while I studied abroad was hired by University B. I haven't seen him for a long time so I went to pay him a visit that day."

Pausing, Chu Yi Chen looked over to Gu Xiao Xiao while taking advantage of the red light.

"You have to run around every day like this. Have you thought of moving out?"

The air inside the car suddenly solidified. Gu Xiao Xiao shifted her body around uncomfortably. She suddenly recalled that he had a condo in this area.
