It was already dark when they walked out of the Senate building.
Rows of shining streetlights stood perfectly straight in front of the building, illuminating the wide road in front of the building.
The road in front of the Senate building was considered the internal road of the Senate, and there were Senate offices on both sides.
Reinitz leaned against the door of a very sturdy-looking black Cadillac and lowered his head to light a cigarette.
His blond hair seemed to be shrouded in a faint halo under the streetlights, and his distinctive Germanic features were impeccable.
Glancing at his watch, it was almost 6: 30 pm. Reinitz was a bit impatient.
He frowned as he looked ahead, and when he saw that Gu Nianzhi had already walked over, a smile appeared on his religiously-handsome face.
He walked quickly to Gu Nianzhi and naturally bent down to help her carry her laptop bag.
Gu Nianzhi pressed his arm and smiled. "No need, this bag isn't heavy."
Reinitz didn't insist and nodded like a gentleman. "Ok, it's already so late. Do you often work overtime?"
"It depends." Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz's car and gave a perfunctory reply.
Huo Shaoheng had dropped her off in the morning, so she didn't drive herself.
She had originally wanted to take a taxi back, but now she probably wouldn't have to.
Reinitz opened the car door. "I'll take you back to the Hepingli District, right?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Haven't you been there before?"
"Yes, but if you go back to Major General Huo's place, I can't go." Reinitz smiled very charmingly.
There was a moment of darkness inside the car, but Reinitz's eyes were as blue as a jade spring, and he looked at her affectionately.
Gu Nianzhi sighed emotionally. "Reinitz, do you have a girlfriend?"
"… Girlfriend?" Although Reinitz's Chinese was very good, he still couldn't understand such modern internet slang.
"Girlfriend, girlfriend." Gu Nianzhi explained to him in English. "You're not married, right?"
Reinitz didn't have a ring on his finger.
Reinitz started the car and quickly turned out of the middle of the Senate building, heading for the highway.
He smiled. "I'm not married, and I don't have a girlfriend. But I have a girl I like, and I'm pursuing her. "
"That's great. Good luck!" Gu Nianzhi slyly expressed her support, but maintained her composure and treated herself as an outsider. She then cleverly changed the topic. "You were talking about Hong Kangquan this morning. How did you know?"
Reinitz tilted his head to look at Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, "We'll talk about it when we get to your house. What do you want to eat tonight? I brought the last few Bavarian white sausages and the famous smoked pork trotters from Germany. I went to the supermarket to buy Japanese Kobe steak, the freshest bamboo shoots, and raw salmon. "
Gu Nianzhi swallowed her saliva in disappointment and smiled. "I like everything except salmon that can be eaten raw."
"You don't like salmon?"
"No." Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "It's too unhygienic to eat raw salmon. I heard there are a lot of parasites."
There were indeed very few salmon that could be eaten raw. Even if they were caught from the deep sea, they would have to go through several rounds of freezing to kill the parasites.
However, no matter what they did, with the tenacious vitality of the parasites, it was likely that those freezing methods wouldn't be able to kill them.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi chose not to eat sashimi. It was still edible when it was cooked.
Reinitz himself didn't like sashimi, but after reading the information, Gu Nianzhi's favorite food as a child was sashimi, especially sashimi made from Nordic salmon. He didn't expect her taste to have changed …
Reinitz pursed his lips and said after a while, "… Did Huo Shaoheng stop you from eating it?"
After thinking about it, only Huo Shaoheng could have had such a big impact on Gu Nianzhi and change her eating habits.
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "I think so. I was also quite picky when I was a child. At that time, I was very picky about what I liked and didn't like, but Huo Shao didn't spoil me. I don't even know when I stopped being picky. "
In short, ever since she started growing up with Huo Shaoheng, Huo Shaoheng really treated her like military training.
If she was picky and didn't eat, then she would starve. Later, there was a lot of training, which made her tired and hungry. She no longer had the mood to be picky.
However, she didn't remember liking salmon as a child.
Perhaps this was also a part of her memory that was lost …
Gu Yanran used to say that she liked to eat dishes related to lotus root, such as lotus root stewed with spare ribs, fried lotus root, glutinous rice osmanthus lotus root slices. She didn't remember, either, as if she had never eaten it before.
However, after actually eating it once, she found that it really suited her taste.
But salmon, she politely declined it and didn't want to try it at all.
It was quite interesting to think about these things.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't stop talking as soon as she started.
Reinitz listened to her quietly.
He had always hated using all kinds of fragrances in the car, so his car had always only had the original smell of leather. However, this time, he actually felt the smell of chocolate wafting in the car. It was sweet and fragrant, but also a little bitter. It was this bitterness that made the sweetness even more luscious, so he couldn't let go of the sweetness in his mouth.
The taste of love was the taste of chocolate, perhaps.
Just like listening to her speak and watching her do things, he always felt a trace of bitterness on top of the sweetness and touching feeling.
Every word of hers could make his heartstrings tremble endlessly, and the aftertaste lingered.
He was a little absent-minded, and even the car couldn't help slowing down.
This subtle change was quickly captured by someone.
With a loud whoosh, two large trucks suddenly sped up from behind and drove to the left and right of Reinitz's car.
Reinitz quickly came back to his senses and shouted at Gu Nianzhi, "Fasten your seatbelt! Get down! "
As he spoke, he freed one hand to press down on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and make her lie down.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly startled, and before she could react, she was pressed down on the seat by Reinitz.
As soon as they laid down, they heard a few gunshots hitting their car windows!
The window quickly cracked, and it was as if a dense layer of spider webs had suddenly appeared on the window.
Reinitz stepped on the gas pedal, and his car roared as it sped up quickly. It shot out like an arrow from a bow and instantly left the two large trucks far behind!
His car sped up too fast, and Gu Nianzhi was pressed down on the seat again. Her body crossed the horizontal bar between the two seats, and she was almost lying on Reinitz's thigh.
Although Gu Nianzhi tried her best to endure it, she was about to throw up from the sudden jolt of the car.
"What happened?" She asked with a pale face, still lying motionless on the seat.
She had heard the gunshots just now, but she didn't dare look up at all. She didn't know where the enemy was shooting from.
Reinitz said in a low voice, "Someone wanted to kill you, but it's fine now."
From the rearview mirror, she saw that the two large trucks had already exited from a highway exit.
Gu Nianzhi propped herself up and turned to see the dense "spider webs" on the window next to her. She was shocked. "Your car is actually equipped with bulletproof glass?!"
Reinitz curled his lips. "You know what's good for you."
If Gu Nianzhi hadn't suddenly worked overtime, Reinitz felt that they could have perfectly avoided the enemy's pursuit.
Because there were a lot of cars on the road at the end of work, the enemy couldn't have squeezed into the lane next to them. Also, there were so many cars that the enemy couldn't successfully escape even if they opened fire.
Therefore, Reinitz's original plan was to avoid the enemy when the traffic was congested after work. In the end, Gu Nianzhi happened to be working overtime, so they perfectly avoided rush hour.
It could only be said that they were lucky that he reacted in time, so the enemy didn't succeed.
If Gu Nianzhi had driven herself or taken a taxi, Reinitz didn't dare to think about it …
It was almost seven o 'clock, and there were fewer cars on the highway. Reinitz drove faster and soon got off the viaduct. He drove towards the Hepingli Precinct where Gu Nianzhi lived.
It was a densely populated area with residential areas on both sides.
There were rows of small shops along the street. There were restaurants, cafes, hairdressers, beauty salons, bookstores, video stores, and all kinds of barbecue stalls. They were spread out on the sidewalk and flashed with colorful lights. The atmosphere was like the smoke of the world.
After experiencing the sudden shock on the highway, Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt that the smoke of the world was especially precious.
She took a deep breath and felt even hungrier. Her stomach growled twice.
