Reinitz was about the same height as Huo Shaoheng, so he should also be about 1.88 meters tall. The visual error wouldn't be more than one centimeter.
Also, because of his eating habits, work nature, and years of exercise, Reinitz also had a very strong and fit body, just like Huo Shaoheng.
But this time, Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz, who was wearing a black priest uniform with gold trim, and noticed that he had lost a lot of weight.
His facial features were even sharper, as sharp as a mountain peak. His slightly sunken blue eyes were like the calm surface of the sea, without any ripples.
However, when he suddenly saw Gu Nianzhi, he was slightly moved.
He walked towards Gu Nianzhi and ignored Huo Shaoheng.
Standing in front of Gu Nianzhi, he lowered his head and smiled faintly. "Cereus, I didn't expect our hearts to be connected."
Even without an appointment, they still met here.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Reinitz with a complicated expression. She acutely sensed that his entire aura was different.
In the past, no matter how he pretended to be gentle or cold, he always had a passion that was unique to Reinitz.
But now that she saw Reinitz standing in front of her, she could no longer feel his vigor and enthusiasm. It was as if he had seen everything and nothing could stir up his passion for life.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze moved down inch by inch to look at the shiny brass buttons on Father Reinitz's uniform. She saw them all the way from his neck to his knees.
The tailored priest's uniform accentuated Reinitz's broad shoulders, narrow waist, and tall figure.
A beam of sunlight shone through the stained glass windows of the church and reflected on Reinitz's blonde hair, as if it were a golden crown on him.
His religious sense of asceticism was even more extraordinary, as if he was about to ascend to heaven and become an immortal in the next moment.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed, and she smiled. "Reinitz, what are you up to this time? The last time I saw you, you were pretending to be a woodcutter on a farm in the Alps, and now you're … cosplaying as an Orthodox priest? Oh, no, you must be a Christian priest, right? "
"A Catholic priest. But I'm not cosplaying. " Reinitz was ridiculed by Gu Nianzhi, but he wasn't angry at all. His smile was very gentle, and it was different from the way he usually behaved.
The previous warmth was the temperature of a fire wrapped in ice.
Right now, his gentleness was like lukewarm water that could be seen through at a glance.
Even Huo Shaoheng frowned in surprise.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and waved her hand. "No? If you're a real Catholic priest right now, I'll broadcast you pole dancing live. "
Huo Shaoheng's breath froze for a moment.
For a moment, Reinitz's faith in becoming a priest was almost shaken.
However, they quickly calmed themselves down.
Reinitz laughed heartily this time. "Then I'll wait and see. When are you going to show me? I'll find you a place where you can do pole dancing. "
"!!!"
No way!
What was going on?!
My feet hurt QAQ ~ ~ ~
Gu Nianzhi had always been good at shooting people in the foot, but this time, she had tasted what it was like to shoot herself in the foot.
"Major General Reinitz, please don't tease our Nianzhi. She's a straightforward person and believes whatever people say. It's better not to make such jokes."
Huo Shaoheng spoke for Gu Nianzhi.
What a joke.
He hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi pole dance yet. Who did Reinitz think he was?
Reinitz stopped smiling and looked at Huo Shaoheng calmly. "I'm not joking."
"… You're really a priest?" Gu Nianzhi asked in surprise. "But you just posted on your WeChat moments this morning that you're leading a team to participate in the opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition … I never knew that a priest could be the leader of your country's Special Forces …"
Reinitz drew a cross on his chest and said lightly, "Mr. Li Dexi was supposed to be leading the team, but he met with misfortune in Cape Town, so our bureau recalled me from the monastery. I'm only temporarily replacing Mr. Li Dexi. When they find a suitable candidate, I'll continue to return to the monastery. "
So it was because of Li Dexi.
Gu Nianzhi calmed down and shrugged. "So that's how it is. Then I haven't lost, because you're not a priest right now, right?"
She emphasized the word "right now."
Reinitz stared at her for a while and smiled slowly. "Cereus is still so unreasonable. Okay, this time, you owe me a pole dance. "
Gu Nianzhi pulled a long face. "No way! You were a priest before and were recalled to be the team leader. Of course, you're not a priest anymore. How can you be so unreasonable? "
Reinitz wanted to say that his role as the team leader was only a part-time job. Even if he came to Moscow, he was ordered by the Church to discuss future cooperation with the archbishop of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
But seeing Gu Nianzhi's reluctant face and Huo Shaoheng's sullen expression, Reinitz didn't insist.
He smiled slightly. "Okay, that's all. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Major General Huo. Should we talk here, or should we go out and find a place to talk? "
Huo Shaoheng sighed slightly in his heart and took his hand out of his trouser pocket. He put one hand on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and said, "I'm off today. I don't want to talk about business."
"It's not business. I want to talk to you in a personal capacity." Reinitz paused, and the expression on his face faded again. "There are some things I want to ask you about Li Dexi. There are also some things I want to tell you about Gu Nianzhi. "
Huo Shaoheng tightened his grip on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi thought that Huo Shaoheng was interested, so she quickly said, "Okay then, let's go out and find a restaurant to eat. We can talk while we eat, okay? You sent me a WeChat message this morning saying that you wanted to treat me to dinner! "
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Nianzhi expressionlessly. "… You just had breakfast."
"We can slowly find a restaurant and walk there. Just treat it as digestion …" Gu Nianzhi felt that she was very understanding. She didn't need Huo Shaoheng to say more to understand what he meant.
"I checked the restaurant ratings here when I came. There are a few good Russian restaurants not far away. Of course, it'll take at least half an hour to walk there. "
"Okay, let's walk slowly and talk slowly." Reinitz agreed immediately. "I know a good restaurant about a mile from here. It's less than half an hour's walk. We can listen to music while we eat. It's said that's where Tchaikovsky composed music. "
Tchaikovsky was Russia's most famous musician. The ballets composed by him, "Swan Lake," "Sleeping Beauty," and "The Nutcracker," were world-famous.
Gu Nianzhi immediately nodded. "Okay, okay, then let's go and have a look?"
When she said this, she was asking for Huo Shaoheng's opinion.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and said leisurely, "Since you both agree, I have no objections."
Gu Nianzhi immediately noticed that there was a rare resentment in Huo Shaoheng's words …
This was too unusual. Wasn't he the one who wanted to talk to Reinitz?
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt a little wronged.
She had always put Huo Shaoheng first and thought about what he wanted. She had gone through hardships and hardships for him, but he didn't seem to appreciate it …
The two of them didn't look at each other for a moment.
Reinitz looked at the two of them in amusement and said humorously, "… If you guys have a falling out, I won't be a monk anymore. I can renounce asceticism right away. "
Catholic priests couldn't get married.
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Huo Shaoheng looked down and smiled. "Major General Reinitz must be joking. We aren't having a falling out. This way, please."
He stepped aside and let Reinitz lead the way.
Reinitz glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "Cereus, are you okay?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't even look at Huo Shaoheng and said angrily, "I'm fine! Reinitz, let's go and have a look at the restaurant you were talking about. I won't pay if it's not good! "
"I said it's my treat. Of course, you don't have to pay." Reinitz naturally walked on Gu Nianzhi's other side. He and Huo Shaoheng walked on either side, like Gu Nianzhi's two bodyguards.
Huo Shaoheng followed her quietly.
Along the way, Reinitz looked at Gu Nianzhi several times and said, "Are you okay? Li Dexi went to Cape Town for you. You didn't fall for it? "
Although Gu Nianzhi was angry, she heard that Reinitz was asking about serious matters. She hesitantly glanced at Huo Shaoheng and didn't know how to answer.
Huo Shaoheng kept his eyes straight ahead and didn't seem to be looking at Gu Nianzhi, but he had already noticed her small movements from the corner of his eye.
After a moment of silence, Huo Shaoheng said, "We are also very sorry about what happened to Li Dexi. Father Reinitz, I'm afraid you will be disappointed today."
This meant that Huo Shaoheng wouldn't say a word.
Even if Reinitz had evidence that Li Dexi went to Cape Town to kill Huo Shaoheng and kidnap Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't be stupid enough to confess.
In their line of work, there were many things that could be done but not said.
Even if they were caught on the spot, they absolutely couldn't admit it.
Gu Nianzhi understood Huo Shaoheng's position and also remained silent. She didn't tell Reinitz about what happened in Cape Town.
Reinitz saw that the two of them were still on guard, so he sighed and said, "I have no intention of pursuing the matter. I had no idea that Li Dexi went to Cape Town. I had already entered a convent at that time. "
Gu Nianzhi walked silently, feeling a little down.
Huo Shaoheng sighed softly and understood that he couldn't blame Gu Nianzhi. She had good intentions.
He thought about it, then took the small box containing the ring out of his other pocket and put it in the pocket closest to Gu Nianzhi.
Then he reached out and gently held Gu Nianzhi's hand. Their fingers were interlocked, and he put her hand in his pocket. They walked together on Moscow's Red Square.
The gentle breeze blew gently, and Gu Nianzhi's black hair fluttered in the wind.
As soon as Gu Nianzhi's hand entered Huo Shaoheng's pocket, she felt Huo Shaoheng pull her hand to feel the small square box in his pocket.
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Huo Shaoheng smiled meaningfully at her.
Although Gu Nianzhi didn't know what the small box was, her mood miraculously improved.
Because she understood that Huo Shaoheng was implicitly explaining the change in his mood. It was all because of this small box.
In the past, Huo Shaoheng would never have done such a thing.
Gu Nianzhi squeezed Huo Shaoheng's hand in his pocket to show that she understood. Then she took her hand out and took Huo Shaoheng's arm. She turned to Reinitz and said, "Reinitz, I believe you. But why did Li Dexi encounter misfortune on his trip to Cape Town this time? "
"Because he wants you," Reinitz said bluntly.
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Huo Shaoheng wasn't surprised. He patted the back of Gu Nianzhi's hand that was holding his arm to reassure her not to be afraid. He looked up at Reinitz and said, "Is Li Dexi so determined to target Nianzhi because of the genetic data from the Yamato scientists during the war? But how much does that data have to do with Nianzhi? "
Counting from Gu Haoze, Gu Nianzhi was already the third generation. Almost a hundred years had passed.
Could it be that Li Dexi also knew about Gu Nianzhi's special constitution?
