After Wen Shouyi angrily left the table, only Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu were left at the table of four, facing each other.
He Zhichu remained silent as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. He scrutinized Gu Nianzhi, "Why do you like to pick a fight with Teaching Assistant Wen?"
"Professor He, she was the one picking a fight with me. How can you turn the tables on her?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore, "Or do you think it's normal to install cameras in a student's apartment?"
He Zhichu glanced at the gift box Wen Shouyi had forgotten to take with her, he mused, "I'll find out what the reason is. But before that … "He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi expressionlessly, his voice even colder," You shouldn't show your emotions. To be a good lawyer, the first thing you need is self-control. You need to be able to control your emotions in any situation. You've lowered my opinion of you by a few notches. "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and internally rolled her eyes. She kept a straight face, "Thank you for your advice, Professor He. But I'm still a student, I can't change my expression as quickly as Teaching Assistant Wen, nor can I be as indifferent and indifferent as Professor He. But I will work hard to learn and strive to surpass my teacher in the future. "
He Zhichu couldn't help smiling when he saw Gu Nianzhi's angry expression. He shook his head, "Ok, as long as you remember."
"No matter what, it's wrong to install cameras in private apartments. It has nothing to do with emotions. " Gu Nianzhi refused to let Wen Shouyi off the hook because she could tell Wen Shouyi was targeting her. She didn't hold back.
It was better to put their estrangement on the table than to pretend everything was fine and suffer in silence.
This was the only way Wen Shouyi would restrain herself.
The cost of quarreling with Gu Nianzhi was too high. If Wen Shouyi was a normal person, she would think twice about the cost-benefit ratio.
She wouldn't easily pick on Gu Nianzhi again.
Brother Huang, who had been hiding and patrolling in the distance, finally sauntered back when he saw Wen Shouyi leave.
He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi didn't mention the incident again.
After a while, the waiter brought the dishes they had ordered. Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang ate, drank, chatted, and laughed. The atmosphere from earlier was quickly forgotten.
He Zhichu didn't eat much, but he drank a lot of red wine. His pale face was flushed, complementing his shimmering, sultry eyes.
When he looks at you with rapt attention, his gaze is truly captivating.
Gu Nianzhi was full and smiled at He Zhichu. "Professor He, I didn't know you didn't eat onions either."
The Philly beef wrap was supposed to be served with chopped onions.
He Zhichu raised an eyebrow. "I don't eat onions. What's wrong? You don't eat onions either?"
"Yeah, I don't like the smell of onions. They stink like hell." Gu Nianzhi sniffled and took a sip of the lemonade with a look of disgust.
She wasn't 18 yet and couldn't drink, so He Zhichu didn't pour her any red wine. He only ordered lemon water for her.
"I don't like it either." He Zhichu smiled faintly and quickly finished everything on his plate.
Brother Huang could hold his liquor very well. He was a big drinker in the Hua Xia Empire, so drinking red wine in the United States was a piece of cake.
He excitedly talked about the projects he was working on in the Hua Xia Empire and kept asking He Zhichu for advice.
Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu's frown deepen and couldn't help but smile.
He Zhichu probably had an American work habit of not discussing business during private time.
Brother Huang must have violated He Zhichu's taboo by taking up Professor He's precious private time to discuss business.
"Little Huang, I just told Nianzhi that you guys should rest for two days to get over the jet lag and go back to school on Monday. I'll email you the class schedule when I get back. " He Zhichu interrupted Brother Huang's rambling and set down his knife and fork to wipe his mouth with a white napkin.
Brother Huang saw that He Zhichu had finished his food and quickly finished it as well.
Gu Nianzhi ate the slowest but didn't rush to finish. Instead, she asked the waiter to pack it up for her. She wanted to take it home for supper.
He Zhichu drove them back to the apartment in his Mercedes.
On the way back, Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang chatted and laughed. The two of them made the atmosphere lively.
Although He Zhichu didn't say much, he didn't make the conversation awkward. Every now and then, he interjected and encouraged Brother Huang to continue expressing his opinions on the Sino-American legal system.
When they arrived at the apartment, He Zhichu didn't get out of the car. He only waved at them and drove away.
Gu Nianzhi covered her cheeks and rolled her eyes at Brother Huang. "Brother Huang, why do you have to keep talking? I'm so tired. "
Brother Huang smiled wryly. "Nianzhi, aren't you afraid of Professor He? His face darkened. My legs are trembling. "
"Why? Is he that scary? "Gu Nianzhi was speechless. Brother Huang really didn't know the world …
No matter how scary Professor He was, could he be as scary as Uncle Huo?
But if she wasn't even afraid of Uncle Huo, why would she be afraid of Professor He?
Gu Nianzhi thought she was amazing and wanted to give herself a thumbs up.
The two of them went to the apartment elevator and returned to their respective rooms.
Brother Huang was smart enough not to ask Gu Nianzhi about the cameras.
His instincts told him that this was a minefield. It could be big or small, and it was best for a passerby like him to pretend he didn't know anything.
Otherwise, when the gods fought, the little devil would suffer. He couldn't afford to provoke them, but he could hide …
Yin Shixiong breathed a sigh of relief when Gu Nianzhi returned to her apartment. "You're back?"
Gu Nianzhi changed into slippers at the door. She said listlessly, "I lost. Brother Xiong, you're good."
"Yeah, a hundred bucks." Yin Shixiong extended his hand to her. "I told you to take the cameras. Although you can scare Teaching Assistant Wen, Professor He won't punish her in front of you."
That was why he only allowed Gu Nianzhi to take two cameras and kept the other three from her.
The reason was simple: the Special Operations Forces were used to holding back. They never revealed all of their cards.
Taking out only two cameras and taking out all five gave Wen Shouyi a different kind of shock.
"Not only did he not punish her, he didn't even mention a word about it." Gu Nianzhi said indignantly, "That's so surprising … I always thought he was an upright and plainspoken person …"
Yin Shixiong patted her head unceremoniously. "… Go wash up and sleep. How old are you? How many people do you know? If you bet with me, I'll make you lose half a year's worth of living expenses. "
"Got it." Gu Nianzhi quickly dodged. "I'm going to shower. Goodnight, Brother Xiong!"
Their apartment had two bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms. They were on either side of the living room, so it was very convenient to live together.
…
He Zhichu drove back to his apartment. Wen Shouyi was already waiting at the door.
He Zhichu lived in a single-family house. It was as big as a castle. There were two white marble pillars in front of the door. It looked very grand and majestic.
"You better have a very good reason. Otherwise, I'll send you home right now. "He Zhichu looked straight ahead as he walked up the steps. His expression was very cold.
