Chapter 724: Chapter 721
However, Xiao Yixing didn’t reply to his question. Instead, he slowly added, “If there’s something you don’t understand, perhaps I could take a look for you.”
But it must be said, it was precisely this sentence that changed the way they interacted with each other from then on.
He did share some of the technology industry projects from his company with him. Initially, it was just a casual attempt, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yixing could indeed propose some solutions.
Even in the end, he offered to help him make a breakthrough with a high-tech product.
Because he wasn’t just a geologist; he was also a physicist. High-tech products inevitably involve elements of physics.
Huo Qi later even provided him with a dedicated laboratory and a two hundred square meter loft in the company for him to rest and move around.
This trip to the cinema was also because he was always engrossed in his laboratory research, and Huo Qi couldn’t bear to see it anymore, so he took the initiative to suggest going to the movies to help him relax.
In fact, Huo Qi knew exactly what was going on.
The help this man offered was invaluable; his worth couldn’t be contained by a salary of millions of dollars a year, as he quickly resolved a sharp issue with one of their high-tech products and was researching others.
But Xiao Yixing came here without asking for a penny.
Of course, Huo Qi wouldn’t let him be short of funds, but Xiao Yixing didn’t ask for anything. He seemed willingly to help without any expectations, simply wanting to do some work for him.
This made Huo Qi’s heart subtly shift once again.
On the vast cinema screen, a movie began to play.
Rolling sandstorms swept across the screen, with vast expanses of flying dust and sand, and against this backdrop, a truck pierced through the swirling dust, racing swiftly forward on the highway.
Wen Xian and Lu Xiao chose to sit in the central, core position. According to Wen Xian, the middle provided a clear view and a sense of security.
The light in the cinema had dimmed, and the audience was almost settled, with only a few people still coming in, groping their way through the darkness to find the aisles and their seats.
However, just as the screen started to brighten slightly, more people came in.
Two slender figures, one after the other.
Wen Xian’s gaze was immediately drawn to them, not for any other reason but because… aside from being familiar with the individuals, that scene was somehow inexplicably eye-catching.
Huo Qi’s hair was a bit long and wavy, and his skin was as white as ivory. His face was so beautiful it was almost delicate.
The person behind him had a cold and clear temperament, wearing glasses and exuding a sort of scholarly rigor, yet his features were also superior.
After they entered, they headed straight for the back row.
What made Wen Xian curious was not the fact that men couldn’t go to the cinema together—brothers, classmates, anyone could go. She was curious about when these two became… friends…?
Especially the professor, with such a high IQ… Honestly, could these two even communicate properly?
Moreover, if they were friends, why did Huo Qi hide it from them, claiming he came alone?
He was afraid they would find out he came with Xiao Yixing.
There was no doubt about that.
Wen Xian’s gaze still couldn’t help but follow them, but in the next second, a large hand suddenly turned her face back.
“Craning your neck that long, are they more interesting to look at than me?”
The man’s clear and imperious voice rang in her ear.
