He Zhichu's fingers were slender and warm as he held Gu Nianzhi's small hand in his palm.
His expression was cold, but his shimmering almond-shaped eyes looked at Gu Nianzhi with great concern.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Yin Shixiong and tried to free her hand from He Zhichu's grasp, but he reflexively held it tightly.
"Are you the car owner? Our sheriff has something to ask you. "Just then, a police officer walked over to call Yin Shixiong over for questioning.
Yin Shixiong put an arm around Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and tilted his head to look at He Zhichu. "Professor He, I'll entrust Nianzhi to you. When I'm done here, I'll pick her up at the law school building. "
"Ok, no problem. I have a few assistants over there, and we're going to discuss her case. Come over later and listen in. "He Zhichu nodded and tightened his grip on Gu Nianzhi's hand.
Yin Shixiong let go of Gu Nianzhi. "Go, I'll come find you in a bit."
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him again before following He Zhichu's strength to turn around and walk to his car.
He Zhichu opened the door and helped her in.
Gu Nianzhi's face was pale, her eyes wide and lifeless. Even her reactions were slower than before.
He Zhichu didn't say anything else. After getting in the car, he started it and drove to his office.
When they arrived at He Zhichu's office at the law school, he personally made her a cappuccino with double milk and sugar.
"Here, have some." He Zhichu placed the plain blue and white coffee cup in front of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi didn't take it. She only looked up at him with timid eyes. There was a storm brewing in the depths of her eyes, but it was hidden by the fog. Her mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. She always felt some memories stirring and wanting to break through the soil, but when she really tried to think, she found it was empty. There was no trace at all.
Could it be that I'm someone without a past?
For some reason, this thought suddenly flashed through Gu Nianzhi's mind.
He Zhichu held the coffee cup and didn't get a response from Gu Nianzhi for a long time. He carefully looked at Gu Nianzhi's eyes and had an idea. He took her to sit on the two-seater sofa and let her sit in his arms. He called her quietly. "Nianzhi? Nianzhi? "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes followed his voice and looked at him in confusion.
"Would you like a cappuccino? Didn't you say this was your favorite? "He raised the coffee cup to Gu Nianzhi's lips.
The cappuccino with double sugar milk exuded a strong milky fragrance that lingered in Gu Nianzhi's nose. It was the best way to soothe her mind.
She slowly opened her mouth.
He Zhichu pursed his lips and let her lean against his chest as if he were feeding a baby. He supported her head and brought the cup of coffee to her mouth. "Drink it."
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and began to sip the coffee in He Zhichu's hand.
From He Zhichu's angle, he could see that her long eyelashes were like two rows of small fans that covered her inky black pupils.
Under the tall and delicate bridge of her nose, her lips, which were like water chestnuts, were tightly pressed against the edge of the coffee cup as she gulped down the warm cappuccino.
Coffee, sugar, and milk, each of which could soothe a nervous, restless mind, and the combined effect was even better.
Gu Nianzhi's heartbeat and pulse gradually returned to normal.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi like this, He Zhichu's expression instantly changed. There was anger, anxiety, and unwillingness, but also heartache, pity, and affection. There was even a trace of emotion that he didn't want to think about.
After finishing the entire cup of cappuccino, Gu Nianzhi raised her head and lifted her lips from the cup. She pushed the coffee cup with her hand to indicate that she had finished.
He Zhichu placed the coffee cup on the small coffee table beside the two-seater sofa but didn't leave. He still held Gu Nianzhi in his arms. His large hand pressed against the center of her back as he looked down at her. His cool voice was almost right next to Gu Nianzhi's ear. "… What happened? Are you scared? "
Gu Nianzhi blinked and finally woke up from the "aftereffects of the car accident."
When she saw He Zhichu's enigmatic and handsome face so close to her, she instinctively reached out and pushed his face away. She stood up and said, "Professor He, you can sit. I'll just stand."
He Zhichu leaned back from Gu Nianzhi's push, and when he turned around, she had already jumped away from his position.
The tall girl stood in front of him and looked at him with a frown, an unhappy expression on her face.
"Not scared anymore?" He Zhichu simply took up the entire two-seater sofa. He crossed his legs and rested one hand on the back of the sofa. "Why are you standing? Sit over there. "He pointed to the single-seater sofa across from him.
Gu Nianzhi had been in a daze ever since she saw the fire from the car accident.
He Zhichu had brought her back, made her coffee, and fed her. She had felt it, but it hadn't entered her mind.
Now that she was fully awake, she said unhappily, "Professor He, don't treat me like a child. I'm already an adult. "She thought about it and continued," I'll be 18 in two months. "
He Zhichu had been completely treating her like a child when he fed her coffee. He had only stopped short of burping after feeding her …
Also, he was a professor. A teacher for a day was a father for life. Was it really okay for him to sit so close to her?
Gu Nianzhi just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. She took a few steps back and sat on the single-seater sofa across from him.
He Zhichu dialed the intercom nonchalantly and called a few people over. "Nianzhi is here. Come to my office for a meeting."
He had originally planned to take Gu Nianzhi to the conference room for the meeting.
But seeing that she had just been frightened, He Zhichu decided to let her stay in a familiar environment. That way, it could soothe her fear and anxiety.
Soon, four or five men in suits and leather shoes appeared at He Zhichu's office door with laptops and briefcases.
"Let's go over there." He Zhichu stood up and walked to the small conference area in his office.
His office was very large. Other than the outer office, there was also a small suite, a small conference room, and a guest room.
Gu Nianzhi followed him in and sat down.
He Zhichu sat next to her. His long, slender fingers tapped on the table. "What do you guys think about this case?"
He Zhichu's subordinates were all elite lawyers from the largest law firm in the United States.
Gu Nianzhi's case wasn't considered big or small. The key was the military's attitude.
However, the military's attitude was currently unclear, so they also felt that it was a bit tricky.
The plans they came up with were all superficial. One look and it was obvious that they didn't know the right direction to go.
Gu Nianzhi propped her head up with her hand and listened silently. Her eyes fell on the sunlight that leaked in through the blinds.
Dust danced in the beam of light. She listened absentmindedly.
"Nianzhi? Nianzhi? "He Zhichu called her twice before she came back to her senses." Professor He? What is it? "
"What do you think about this case?"
"… I'm the defendant. Does Professor He want me to defend myself?" Gu Nianzhi glanced sideways at him with a kind of fearless calmness.
"Of course I won't let you defend yourself. Just assume that this is someone else's case. How are you going to deal with it? "He Zhichu leaned toward her." This is also an excellent opportunity for training. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled. Her eyes swept across the uneasy faces of the elite lawyers. She sat up straight and clasped her hands together on the table. "Then I'll be straightforward. The things you prepared are all rubbish. "
