In the evening, Wen Shouyi drove over to pick them up for dinner.
Yin Shixiong didn't go. He didn't want to interact too much with Gu Nianzhi's teachers and classmates, so he excused himself to visit a friend and asked Gu Nianzhi to go with Brother Huang.
When they got into the car, Wen Shouyi asked, "Nianzhi, where's your guardian? Ask him to come with us. "
"No, he's busy too. He's been greeting all his friends the moment he arrived in America. He's much more popular than me." Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips into a smile as she placed the gift box by her feet.
Brother Huang slapped his head when he saw it. "Oh my! I forgot to bring the gift. Can you wait for me? I'll go up and get it. "
Wen Shouyi had already started the car. "No need, let's go eat first. There's no rush for the gift. "
Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang sat in the back and curiously studied the summer scenery of Boston's suburbs.
It was close to evening, but the temperature wasn't high at all. A gentle breeze blew, and the roadside was lined with green trees. There were grass, vines, and colorful flowers everywhere.
They took a small road and didn't go on the highway, so there were no windows.
When the wind blew in, they could even smell the faint scent of flowers and the scent of the summer sun.
The magnificent sunset glow shone on the horizon, filling the sky with a fragrance of beautiful purples and beautiful reds.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and closed her eyes to enjoy the fresh air and the fragrance of the flowers. She relaxed completely.
Wen Shouyi took them to an Italian convenience restaurant, Four Seasons.
The United States didn't have its own specialties. Of course, unless you considered hot dogs and barbecue as part of the cuisine …
High-end American restaurants were all French or Italian.
British cuisine was considered a dark cuisine in the United States, so it wasn't classy.
However, although Four Seasons was Italian, it wasn't a high-end restaurant. It was just a regular chain restaurant. Its most prominent feature was that it could be found everywhere, but it was a little more classy than fast food restaurants.
When they entered, He Zhichu was already sitting inside.
Their seat was by the window in the hall. It was a small table for four and didn't have a private room.
There were two rows of double chairs facing each other with a rectangular dining table in the middle.
He Zhichu wore a light blue shirt that fit perfectly, and his black trousers were perfectly straight without a single crease.
One arm rested leisurely on the dining table, the cuffs rolled up, revealing the platinum Patek Philippe watch on his arm.
Gu Nianzhi's sharp eyes caught the words written on the platinum dial. This was the famous Patek Philippe platinum Geneva Observatory watch!
And it was a custom-made model for He Zhichu.
Tsk tsk, this watch alone is worth at least 10 million USD.
So Professor He had the habit of carrying his entire fortune with him?
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she sat down across from He Zhichu. She secretly thought that if one of the kidnappers was blind enough to steal He Zhichu's watch, then that would be a real shame …
He Zhichu's other arm rested on the back of the soft chair. His expression was indifferent, but his peach blossom eyes gently looked up and glanced over. The long ends of his eyes were like hooks, and it made people's hearts pound.
"What are you laughing at?" He Zhichu raised a brow at Gu Nianzhi and turned to look at Brother Huang. "You sit next to her."
Only then did Brother Huang dare to sit down. He was much more polite than Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed.
Why did he have to wait for a teacher to assign him a seat in the restaurant?
Did he sit down too early?
Wen Shouyi smiled as she sat down next to He Zhichu.
He Zhichu nonchalantly withdrew his arm from the back of the soft two-seater chair and tossed the menu to Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang. "You guys order, order whatever you want."
A waiter in a white uniform was already waiting by the side with a notebook and a ballpoint pen in his hand.
Gu Nianzhi casually glanced at the menu. She had never tried any of them before. She closed the menu and looked at He Zhichu with sparkling eyes. "Professor He, just order whatever you think is good. I'm not picky."
Wen Shouyi snickered. "Nianzhi, you're making things difficult for Professor He. I'm usually the one who orders Professor He's dishes …"
"Philly beef rolls, no onions, assorted Mediterranean seafood plate, crab soup. Give me two of each, for me and the lady sitting across from me. "He Zhichu was already ordering before Wen Shouyi could finish her sentence.
Wen Shouyi immediately blushed and added sheepishly, "But Nianzhi, you're different. Professor He has always treated you differently."
"How can you say that?" Gu Nianzhi smiled as she took out the gift box she had prepared. "Of course it's because Professor He cares so much for his students. That's why everyone fights to be his student, right? Professor He? "
Sweat beaded on Brother Huang's forehead. This Gu Nianzhi really had the guts to flatter him in front of his face. She had really gotten to him!
He quickly chimed in, "That's right! Professor He's postgraduate exam has always been the most difficult in our school. It has the highest scores! "
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi and picked up the menu. He also ordered an appetizer, main course, and side dishes for Brother Huang. He also ordered a cheesecake for dessert.
Before the dishes were served, he also ordered a bottle of red wine to whet everyone's appetite.
Wen Shouyi only ordered a Caesar salad for herself. "I'm on a diet." Wen Shouyi winked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile. "I want to be as thin as Nianzhi too."
Gu Nianzhi smiled at her. "I don't like it when people copy me." She picked up the gift box by her feet and presented it to He Zhichu with both hands. "Professor He, this is a gift for you."
The gift box was sapphire blue. It was very large and had a light blue bow tied into it.
He Zhichu accepted it and placed it next to Wen Shouyi for her to put away.
Gu Nianzhi disagreed. She narrowed her eyes and stopped him. "Professor He, why don't you open it? I heard that in American etiquette, gifts have to be opened in person to show courtesy. "
"Is that so?" He Zhichu glanced at her with a slight frown. "You know a lot. Have you been to America before?"
"No. But in the age of the Internet, it's common to travel around the world without leaving home. "Gu Nianzhi didn't mind at all. She insisted that He Zhichu open the gift box.
He Zhichu had no choice but to indicate to Wen Shouyi. "Open it."
Wen Shouyi shook her head internally. She gently twisted her fingers to untie the bow and unwrap the wrapping paper. She then opened the lid of the gift box.
She froze the moment she saw what was inside.
Inside the gift box were two smashed cameras.
The pitch-black cameras lay in the pristine white gift box. The contrast was so stark that it made one's hair stand on end.
"… What gift is this?" He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi in confusion. "You're giving me smashed cameras?"
Gu Nianzhi lifted her chin at Wen Shouyi. "You'll have to ask Teaching Assistant Wen about that. I found these two cameras in the apartment that Teaching Assistant Wen booked for me …"
