A few hours later, the military plane and the large transport plane landed at the imperial capital airport one after another.
Zhao Liangze was already waiting to pick them up.
He brought a convoy over to welcome Gu Nianzhi's parents' coffins into the National Martyrs' Cemetery.
Gu Nianzhi and the others got off first and lined up with Zhao Liangze.
The same few soldiers in military uniforms carried Gu Xiangwen and his wife's coffins down from the plane's suspension ladder.
The weather in the imperial capital was starting to heat up. Gu Nianzhi's eyes couldn't help becoming moist again as she watched her parents' coffins being sent to the hearse.
She took a deep breath and looked up at the blue sky. She thought that the weather was so hot that her eyes were sweating.
..
Gu Xiangwen and his wife's coffins were finally buried in the imperial capital's National Martyrs' Cemetery.
In addition to family members being able to pay their respects every year, there was also a public memorial hosted by the state every year.
When Gu Nianzhi had nothing to do, she would go to her parents' coffins at the National Martyrs' Cemetery.
She would talk to them, wipe their tombstones, and deliver some of her favorite dishes and snacks.
Unfortunately, she didn't remember what her parents liked to eat, so she could only deliver what she liked.
That day, Gu Nianzhi came again with two bouquets of night epiphyllum.
She placed the night epiphyllum in front of the grave, then took out a tissue from her backpack and wiped her parents' tombstones over and over again.
"Mom and Dad, are you used to living here?"
"This is the National Martyrs' Cemetery of the Huaxia Empire. The people who live here are all people who sacrificed their lives for this country."
"You must get along well with them. You won't feel lonely."
Gu Nianzhi carefully plucked a fallen leaf from Gu Xiangwen's tombstone as she nagged, "Although you guys might not care, I'll feel uncomfortable if I'm with someone who has a different view of the world, even if it's just one sentence."
After wiping the tombstone, Gu Nianzhi placed the two bouquets of night epiphyllum neatly in front of the two tombstones.
Her perfect symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up slightly. It took her a long time to adjust the two bouquets of flowers into the same angle and shape.
Huo Shaoheng stood behind her and looked at her the whole time. He held a cigarette in his hand and smoked occasionally.
It was rare for him to have such leisure time, but he didn't use it for anything else. Every day when Gu Nianzhi wanted to come here, he would pack his things and come with her.
They stayed from morning until sunset. She never got tired, and he never got tired.
It was the same today.
However, not long after the sun rose, another person appeared in front of Gu Nianzhi's parents' tombstone.
He Zhichu.
He was wearing casual clothes, a white custom-made linen and silk blended shirt with a small checkered collar, smoke gray straight pants of the same material, and white casual shoes on his feet as he slowly walked over.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him calmly and nodded. "Good morning, Professor He."
He Zhichu glanced at him and frowned. "Don't smoke so much in front of Nianzhi."
Second-hand smoke is harmful to health.
Huo Shaoheng's fingers twitched as he held the cigarette. In the end, he raised his hand and tossed the remaining cigarette butt into the bamboo-shaped trash can under the tree.
Gu Nianzhi heard He Zhichu's voice and turned to look. "Professor He? Why are you here? "
He Zhichu didn't say anything else. He walked over to Gu Xiangwen and his wife's tombstones and silently studied them.
Gu Xiangwen's tombstone simply wrote, "Grave of my late father, Gu Xiangwen. An unfilial daughter weeps. "
The photo on the tombstone was a screenshot of Ye Xuan's photo.
He Zhichu glanced at it and didn't comment. He turned to look at his wife's tombstone beside Gu Xiangwen.
He didn't see the photo. He only saw a hand-painted white rose that had been sealed in plastic.
He Zhichu's shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed as he asked coldly, "… Where's her photo?"
"We didn't find a photo of her when she was alive." Gu Nianzhi was angry when she thought of this. "That b * tch, Gu Yanran, destroyed all the photos of my parents."
The family photo that Huo Shaoheng had taken in the Gu villa on the Caribbean island was fake. The man and woman in it weren't Gu Xiangwen and his wife at all.
When they finally saw Gu Xiangwen and his wife, they had already passed away.
Although their bodies were well-preserved and lifelike in a pure nitrogen environment, they weren't what they looked like when they were alive, so it wasn't appropriate to use their deceased photos as the photos on the tombstone.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan's photo of Gu Xiangwen had slipped through the net, so it was captured.
However, Gu Xiangwen's wife wasn't so lucky.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi suggested using a hand-painted white rose as her photo.
She had seen her mother's body. She lay quietly in a cherry-wood coffin. She was as beautiful and clean as a white rose.
He Zhichu pursed his lips and said softly, "… You feel the same way … There's not even a photo. Where did your childish admiration come from?"
Gu Nianzhi was very disgusted by He Zhichu's tone and immediately said, "That's my parents. Where do you think my childish admiration came from?!"
As she spoke, she stood in the middle of Gu Xiangwen and his wife's tombstones, looking like she was protecting her children.
Although He Zhichu wasn't very happy, he was amused by Gu Nianzhi's expression.
He shook his head and chuckled. "… You're quite protective of them."
"Of course I have to protect them. They only have me! "Gu Nianzhi's eyes turned red after she finished speaking. She clenched her fists and glared fiercely at He Zhichu.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and put his arm around Gu Nianzhi's shoulder. He said calmly to He Zhichu, "Professor He, please behave yourself in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law's coffins. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a few lessons on their behalf. "
"You?" He Zhichu glanced at Huo Shaoheng contemptuously. "Did they acknowledge you?"
Without waiting for Huo Shaoheng to retaliate, he immediately turned to Gu Nianzhi and asked with concern, "Where have you been these days? I couldn't get through to you on the phone. "
Actually, he knew where Gu Nianzhi had gone.
The GPS on Gu Nianzhi's phone constantly showed her coordinates.
When He Zhichu saw that she had gone to the southernmost port city in the south, he thought she had gone on vacation, so he didn't disturb her.
It wasn't until she came back that she ran between Huo Shaoheng's official residence and the National Martyrs' Cemetery every day that she curiously came over to take a look.
"I went out to pick up my parents a few days ago." Gu Nianzhi combed her hair that had been blown away by the wind with her hand. She was feeling down. "They're here now, so I can come and accompany them every day."
With that, she picked up the small broom that had been placed there for a long time and started sweeping the two tombstones back and forth.
He Zhichu stood to the side and watched Gu Nianzhi busy herself with a complicated expression.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at He Zhichu and said calmly, "You're very disappointed."
He said it in an affirmative tone.
He Zhichu crossed his arms lazily and leaned against a big tree in front of the grave. He sneered. "Yes, I'm very disappointed. I thought you were the one who moved in … "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and said, "Pfft, pfft, pfft! Bad things don't work, but good things do! Professor He, if you keep talking nonsense, my parents don't welcome you to visit them! "
He Zhichu's expression changed. He turned around and left, saying coldly, "… Who cares!"
His clear and cold voice was filled with a strange anger and suffocation.
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu's back and said childishly, "Hmph! I'm not asking you! I'll suffocate you to death! "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
He suddenly had a headache.
After the two of them returned from the National Martyrs' Cemetery, Gu Nianzhi was still a little worried. She tried calling He Zhichu, but found that she couldn't get through.
She was silent for a while and whispered to Huo Shaoheng, "… I think brother He seems to have blocked me."
Huo Shaoheng looked up at her from the military magazine. "I couldn't ask for more."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
..
Time seemed to pass especially quickly when two people in love were together.
Not long after, Huo Shaoheng's vacation was almost half over.
That day, after Gu Nianzhi got up in the morning and washed up, she saw Huo Shaoheng sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper. She asked casually, "What are you reading? Why are you so engrossed? "
Huo Shaoheng put the newspaper down and pressed it to the side. He picked up the knife and smeared blueberry jam on the bread. Then, he placed the bread in front of Gu Nianzhi and said, "The big report on your parents' deeds is finally out today."
Calculating the time, it was the 35th day after her parents' bodies were found. It was the most important day of funerals for southerners.
Gu Nianzhi didn't understand this tradition, but she had carefully looked up information about sacrifices and funerals.
Although no one around her taught her about it, she could look it up on her own.
Online children were fearless.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. She knew that this kind of timing was definitely not a coincidence. It must have been arranged by Huo Shaoheng.
"Thank you. That's very kind of you," Gu Nianzhi said softly. She also poured black pepper sauce on Huo Shaoheng's steak.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her without batting an eyelid. His slender fingers dragged his plate over. "You're still being polite with me? They're also my father-in-law and mother-in-law. "
The word "father-in-law and mother-in-law" came out of Huo Shaoheng's mouth naturally and sincerely.
Gu Nianzhi instantly felt a wave of warmth rise in her heart and flowed into her limbs. Her mood, which had been gloomy for almost a month, instantly improved.
Just as she was about to drink the milk, her phone rang.
She took it and saw that it was actually the great beauty Xiao Ye.
She picked up the phone and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Miss?"
Because Huo Shaoheng was on vacation this month, Gu Nianzhi stayed with him at the official residence and gave Xiao Ye a break.
With Huo Shaoheng as her "personal bodyguard", she didn't need anyone else by her side.
Xiao Ye took the opportunity to go home and live with her parents.
She had been on missions for many years. From a young girl who had just graduated from university, she was now almost 30 years old.
Her parents were extremely anxious and started to arrange blind dates for her.
Xiao Ye had been very annoyed these past few days. She called Gu Nianzhi early in the morning to complain. She wanted to cancel her leave and go back to "work" as soon as possible.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help laughing when she thought about the valiant and beautiful "killing machine" Xiao Ye going on a blind date.
She shook her head and smiled. "No, Miss. You've been working hard for so many years, and it's not easy for you to get a big break. You'd better spend more time with your uncle and auntie. Don't be like me, who can't even be with my parents if I want to. If my parents were still alive, I would do anything they asked me to do. "
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment. Her annoyance at her parents forcing her to go on a blind date lessened a lot.
She sat cross-legged on the bay window of her room and smiled. "What if your parents asked you to go on a blind date? Would you be willing to let Major General Huo go? "
Gu Nianzhi stole a glance at Huo Shaoheng and saw that he was focused on cutting the steak. He probably didn't hear her talking to Xiao Ye.
She pretended to pick up something and slipped down from the chair. She hid under the table and hugged her phone with both hands. She whispered, "… If they ask me to go, I'll go …"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of long legs appeared in front of her.
Looking up, she saw Huo Shaoheng's handsome face looking down at her from above. With a half-smile, he said, "Don't hide under the table when you're talking big. Is your skin itching again? "
