He Zhichu's gaze immediately turned cold, not only cold but also sinister.
He turned to look at Wen Shouyi, "… Is that so? What does this have to do with you? "
Wen Shouyi's face paled, she used all her strength to stop herself from trembling.
Gu Nianzhi had surprised her yet again, she had managed to find such a well-hidden camera.
But Wen Shouyi knew she couldn't back down now, or else she would be doomed forever …
Wen Shouyi was no ordinary person, she quickly calmed down after being caught off guard by Gu Nianzhi. She closed the gift box calmly and smiled at He Zhichu, "Professor He, I can explain to you when we get back. This is a misunderstanding. "
She emphasized the word "misunderstanding", so much so that it seemed like she really had a special reason.
Gu Nianzhi was unconvinced, she rested her chin on her hands and leaned forward on the dining table with a smile, "What misunderstanding? Shouldn't Teaching Assistant Wen explain to me, the person in question? As for Professor He, you'll say it eventually anyway, so let's talk now. "
She had only been testing the waters, and although she knew that Wen Shouyi was most likely the culprit, there was also a small possibility that someone else had done it.
But Wen Shouyi's reaction confirmed Gu Nianzhi's suspicions.
Generally speaking, it was impossible to be wrong about something with a high probability.
Brother Huang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
He looked at the stubborn Gu Nianzhi, then at the helpless Wen Shouyi, and suddenly stood up, "… I need to go to the bathroom." He then fled.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Brother Huang didn't want to get involved, and she didn't blame him. She would be grateful if he didn't join Wen Shouyi in trampling on her. She couldn't expect everyone to be on her side unconditionally like Brother Xiong and Brother Ze, could they?
Only the three of them were left at the dining table.
Wen Shouyi smiled, "Nianzhi, if I said I didn't have any ill intentions, would you believe me?"
"Haha, I'll believe you just because you say so? Why should I? Are you stupid? Law students always look for evidence, and when you're caught red-handed, you can't really be innocent just because you say you're not guilty. So don't try to trick me. " Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at Wen Shouyi with a smile, but the corner of her eye fell on He Zhichu.
He Zhichu was silent for a moment before pouring a glass of lemonade for Gu Nianzhi and a glass of red wine for Brother Huang. He said nonchalantly, "You and Little Huang just arrived and spent two days getting used to the time difference. Go to class on Monday. When Goldie comes back, tell him. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect He Zhichu to keep quiet about it. She raised her eyebrows and looked at He Zhichu thoughtfully. Her large eyes looked at Wen Shouyi, who was holding a goblet of red wine. She was a bit indignant and was about to argue with He Zhichu.
Suddenly, someone kicked her lightly under the table.
Although it didn't hurt at all, it gave her a fright.
Gu Nianzhi instinctively yelped and bent down to rub her ankle. She happened to see He Zhichu's black leather shoes slowly shrink back.
The person who kicked her was Professor He?!
Screech! There was no justice in this world!
Was Professor He trying to take sides? Was he siding with his teaching assistant?
Gu Nianzhi's impression of He Zhichu fell to rock bottom.
She had always thought He Zhichu was a very principled and reasonable professor. Why did he turn against her the moment he arrived in America?
It must be because the feng shui in America was bad …
"Nianzhi, what's wrong?" Wen Shouyi immediately looked under the table, but she didn't see He Zhichu's foot shrink back. She thought Gu Nianzhi had been too excited and knocked her foot down. "The table is a bit cramped. Be careful."
Gu Nianzhi bent down and glared at He Zhichu's leather shoes under the table. She straightened up and said angrily, "I was careless. I'm sorry."
He Zhichu's expression remained impassive as he wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and put it back on the table. He picked up his wine glass. "Here, Nianzhi. I hope you have a good time in America for the next six months."
"Whether or not I can have a good time is up to Teaching Assistant Wen, not me." Gu Nianzhi couldn't stand He Zhichu's "protective" behavior. "Professor He, I don't want this to happen again and again. I want to request a restraining order from Professor He. Teaching Assistant Wen must stay away from anything that has to do with me. "
"Gu Nianzhi, don't be so shameless." Wen Shouyi immediately retorted. Her tone was no longer polite. "What do you mean by this? You're just a student. I'm not only Professor He's teaching assistant but also an associate professor at Harvard University. I'll be teaching two of your classes during the two months you're at Harvard Law School. Don't you want to get credits? If you don't get credits, you'll be violating the US F1 student visa rules. It's illegal and you'll be deported. "
"I won't get any credits! Just deport me. "Gu Nianzhi was also angry. She put the lemonade on the table." Professor He, I want to go back. If Teaching Assistant Wen treats me like this, I'll be in deep trouble for the next six months. It's not that I can't endure hardship, but I don't want to be wronged. "Her eyes reddened involuntarily when she said the word" wronged. "
If Uncle Huo was the one who made her suffer, then she could tolerate it.
But who was Wen Shouyi? Why should he be held back by her?
Tears welled up in Gu Nianzhi's inky eyes. A faint blush appeared at the corners of her slightly tilted eyes. It was as if she had applied rouge.
He Zhichu closed his eyes helplessly. He rubbed the space between his brows. His clear voice was tinged with resignation. "… I understand. I'll personally teach all of your classes."
"Professor He?!" Wen Shouyi was shocked. She dropped the napkin in her hand.
"I knew Professor He was the most reasonable person!" Gu Nianzhi beamed with joy. She immediately picked up the glass of red wine and poured He Zhichu a shallow glass. "Professor He, a toast!"
He Zhichu accepted the glass but still chastised Gu Nianzhi. "But your attitude towards Teaching Assistant Wen is also problematic. Apologize to her, hmm? "
Gu Nianzhi knew when to stop and immediately followed Wen Shouyi's advice. She smiled and poured Wen Shouyi a glass of red wine as well. "Teaching Assistant Wen, please don't make things difficult for me anymore. I'm just a student. How can I fight against a local tyrant like you? Don't you think so? "
Wen Shouyi glared at Gu Nianzhi. No amount of self-restraint could suppress the surging hatred in her heart. "You flatter me. Your student is much better than the professor. "
She didn't drink the wine Gu Nianzhi poured for her. She turned to look at He Zhichu. Her eyes were also red. "Professor He, I just remembered that I still have papers to grade. I won't be joining you for dinner today."
"Teaching Assistant Wen, you're leaving already? But what about the salad you just ordered? We can't waste food. We'll be struck by lightning if we waste food. "Gu Nianzhi blinked rapidly. Wen Shouyi thought her expression was asking for a beating.
"It won't go to waste. I'll have the waiter pack it up for me. You guys eat slowly. Professor He will drive you back when you're done. "Wen Shouyi almost ran away.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from slapping Gu Nianzhi's face.
Why was that face so infuriating?
She really didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be this kind of person.
She had planned for Gu Nianzhi out of goodwill, but Gu Nianzhi had taken it all for granted.
She didn't know what was so good about Gu Nianzhi that even someone as cold and aloof as Professor He would give in to her over and over again …
