Reinitz had received special training since he was a child, and his skills were among the best in the German Special Forces.
But he didn't dodge He Zhichu's punch.
He only had time to turn his head and avoid the sharpest part of He Zhichu's punch. He tried his best to protect his head from being hit.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood.
She remembered the time He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng fought fiercely at her house. Reinitz wasn't stronger than Huo Shaoheng, so He Zhichu didn't have to use much effort to beat him.
Gu Nianzhi's large, intelligent eyes looked between He Zhichu and Reinitz.
He Zhichu's words just now made her wonder if they knew each other …
He Zhichu's tone and meaning made it seem like he was talking to an acquaintance.
All sorts of thoughts raced through her mind, but before they could take root, He Zhichu had already pulled her over. He tore off the German military jacket she was wearing and threw it back to Reinitz. At the same time, he took off his thin cashmere coat and draped it over Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi felt even warmer.
She smiled apologetically at Reinitz. "I'm sorry, I'll be going now. Good night, Major General Reinitz. "
Reinitz held his military jacket in the crook of his arm as he stared at He Zhichu. His eyes were dark, and his expression was a bit gloomy. He was probably in a bad mood after being punched for no reason.
The guards standing at the entrance of the building didn't move, as if they didn't see what was happening.
He Zhichu pointed in Reinitz's direction. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he snorted coldly and took Gu Nianzhi's arm to walk down the steps of the building.
"My car is parked outside. Come with me to my place today." He Zhichu didn't look at Gu Nianzhi when he spoke. He was obviously in a bad mood.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
But at this time, she only wanted to go home.
Gu Nianzhi said tactfully, "Professor He, it's already past ten. I'll go home." She was worried He Zhichu wouldn't agree, so she quickly added, "I'm not feeling well. Really, I already left early today."
He Zhichu put his hand on her forehead to feel it. She seemed to be having a fever.
He was even more insistent. "Go to my place. If you continue having a fever at night, someone will take care of you."
"I can go find Brother Chen." Gu Nianzhi blurted out, but she immediately remembered that Chen Lie was at the Special Operations Forces headquarters base. She had heard that the Special Operations Forces headquarters base had been stricter recently, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Huo Shaoheng wasn't there, so it might not be convenient for her to be there.
Before Gu Nianzhi could finish her thoughts, He Zhichu stopped her. "Chen Lie? You've had enough. Come to my house for one night. Are you worried that Huo Shaoheng will be unhappy? Then tell him not to go on a mission! "At the end of his sentence, his voice had already raised, and it was obvious that he was in a terrible mood.
Gu Nianzhi didn't dare argue with him anymore. She said sheepishly, "… That's not it. Huo Shao won't be unhappy. He's just worried that Professor He won't be able to …"
"What's inconvenient about it? You're even wearing a stranger's jacket, and you still think it's inconvenient? "He Zhichu's words were especially vicious when he was in a bad mood.
Gu Nianzhi shut her mouth and wisely stopped adding fuel to the fire.
She obediently followed He Zhichu into the car and drove in the direction of the B University professor's building.
He Zhichu's sports car's performance was very good. It was fast and stable, and it didn't have the typical roar of a sports car at all.
They soon arrived at B University. From the car, Gu Nianzhi saw the female law graduate student dormitory that she used to live in. She rubbed her phone and almost called Ma Qiqi.
But looking at the time, it was almost 11 o 'clock. She decided not to disturb her sleep.
She followed He Zhichu to his suite in the professor's building.
He Zhichu pointed in the direction of the guest room. "You'll be staying here. Your toiletries are all new. They're in the bathroom. I have some clothes for you to change into. "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She was silent for a while, then asked, "Professor He, why do you have clothes for me here?"
He Zhichu turned his head uncomfortably. "I bought them a while ago. I didn't want to give them to you …"
Gu Nianzhi laughed and didn't refuse pretentiously.
She rubbed her increasingly hot forehead and mumbled, "Thank you, Professor He."
She knew He Zhichu's apartment very well. After all, she had been there for the past year, even though she was a student teaching assistant.
She went to the guest room and first went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out, she found that He Zhichu had already placed her sleeping robe and clothes on the bed in the guest room.
Gu Nianzhi yawned and changed into her robe before falling asleep.
Because of the series of shocks from before, she didn't sleep well that night.
When He Zhichu came to check on her in the middle of the night, he found that her face was flushed as if she was having a nightmare.
She was mumbling something, but he didn't know what she was saying.
He Zhichu reached out to touch her forehead and found that it was burning.
He took out his medical kit and took out an electronic thermometer to touch Gu Nianzhi's forehead.
The temperature … was off the charts.
However, He Zhichu didn't seem surprised at all. He calmly returned the temperature to normal and tucked Gu Nianzhi in. Then he put an ice pack on her forehead to cool her down.
While he was waiting, Gu Nianzhi's brows furrowed even more.
"… Daddy … Daddy … I want Daddy …" She began to whimper and cry. Her hands reached out from under the blanket and scratched wildly.
He Zhichu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed her hand and shoved it back under the blanket.
Gu Nianzhi sobbed in her dream for a while. Perhaps He Zhichu's approach made her feel something, but after a while, she called out pitifully, "… Brother …"
It was the tone and tone she used when she was with He Zhichu when she was young.
He Zhichu's nose suddenly ached.
With trembling hands, he touched Gu Nianzhi's head and whispered in her ear in a gentle tone that he had never used before, "… Brother He is here. He won't go anywhere. He will always be with you."
His comfort gradually took effect. Gu Nianzhi didn't continue to cry in her dream.
Although her teeth were still tightly clenched and her brows were tightly furrowed, she didn't cry uncontrollably like before.
For a dreamer, this meant that the dreamer had control over the dream. There would be no more dreams that she couldn't bear.
He Zhichu propped his head up and sat by Gu Nianzhi's bed to look at her. From time to time, he changed the ice pack on her forehead.
After an unknown amount of time, a phone suddenly rang in the silence.
"Priest, Temple, War, Bow and Arrow, Whose Past Did You Belong To Me In The Crowd …"
He Zhichu was speechless.
He had heard this ringtone before. It was the exclusive ringtone that Gu Nianzhi had set for Huo Shaoheng on her phone.
He Zhichu looked around and found the direction of the ringtone. He walked over to pick up Gu Nianzhi's phone.
Seeing that the caller ID on the phone was "Mr. A," He Zhichu's lips twitched as he picked up the call.
"Nianzhi, where are you?" Huo Shaoheng's deep and magnetic voice came from the phone, but he sounded slightly anxious.
He Zhichu's shimmering, sultry eyes flashed as he said slowly, "… I'm here."
