"I'm lucky to have it. Not my life? "Gu Nianzhi muttered and shook her head." Negative, too negative. You'll lose those little sisters who truly love you like this. "
If she had thought that way back then, she would never have had the chance to be with Major General Huo.
He Zhichu was amused by Gu Nianzhi's serious expression. He gently rubbed her head and said with a half-smile, "If someone who truly loves me gives up so easily, then it wouldn't be considered sincere. Don't mind my business. If you care so much about me, be careful that you won't be able to get rid of me again. "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"Then we can't even be normal friends anymore?" Gu Nianzhi sat up straight and frowned. "If even the concern between friends can be misunderstood, then what's the point? What happened to treating me like a sister? "
He Zhichu retracted his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly. He regained his cold and aloof expression and said aloofly, "Then can't we even joke around as normal friends? If a joke has to be taken seriously, then we shouldn't be friends anymore. As for siblings, if you're willing to call me brother, I'll naturally protect you for the rest of your life. "
When Gu Nianzhi heard He Zhichu say that, she seemed to be angry. She also wondered if she had gone too far just now..
It was clearly just a joke.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want He Zhichu to be angry. She held her red grape juice with both hands and lowered her head in embarrassment. "Young Master He, I was wrong."
He Zhichu didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to apologize directly.
He stared at her in a daze for a while, and a smile appeared on his face. It was like the spring breeze blowing across the surface of the ice. There were still ice shards in the ripples, but he still smiled in the end.
However, his sparkling almond-shaped eyes were dead silent.
He Zhichu raised his head and drank the cocktail in his hand in one gulp. He placed the empty glass on the bar counter and gestured for the bartender to bring him another glass of red wine. He patted Gu Nianzhi's head. "Good, you even know how to apologize. I didn't dote on you for nothing."
"Brother He is the best." She looked up at He Zhichu's cold profile and smiled sweetly. She was like a little kitten that had done something wrong and was trying to act cute to get away with it. Her big black eyes were bright and watery, and all that was missing was a soft cat tail wagging around.
He Zhichu couldn't be angry at that smiling face no matter what.
At this moment, he smiled again. This time, his smile reached the bottom of his eyes, like sunlight, breaking through the dead silence in his peach blossom eyes.
The bartender looked at He Zhichu, then at Gu Nianzhi. He shook his head without batting an eyelid. He made He Zhichu a cocktail with a higher alcohol content and placed it next to his glass of red wine.
He Zhichu saw this but didn't say anything. He picked up the red wine and drank it first.
Not long after, more and more people gathered around He Zhichu.
They greeted him, greeted him, and talked about things. They could also greet Gu Nianzhi.
They were all elites among elites. They chatted at the right time and didn't make Gu Nianzhi feel out of place, nor did they make her feel left out. It was as if she was also old friends with them. There was a sense of harmony and harmony that made her feel at home.
Gu Nianzhi was also a very talkative person. She had met many important people over the years with Huo Shaoheng, so she didn't have stage fright and could talk about all kinds of topics.
In addition, these people all avoided the topic of the Qin family and Qin Yaoguang, so Gu Nianzhi didn't feel embarrassed or stuck.
However, the side effect was that Gu Nianzhi couldn't find out anything related to the Qin family at all.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
If He Zhichu hadn't been watching from the side, Gu Nianzhi believed that she would have been able to dig up more information related to the Qin family.
Unfortunately, he clearly didn't like Qin Yaoguang and didn't want to have anything to do with the Qin family. His childhood friends knew what he meant, so they naturally wouldn't offend him.
Gu Nianzhi chatted and laughed for a while, then gradually fell silent.
Because most of the people here were men, it was a little inappropriate for a woman like her to be stuck in the middle.
The living room happened to be in two circles with He Zhichu and Xie Qingying as the center.
One circle was mainly made up of men, and the other was mainly made up of women.
Gu Nianzhi was feeling bored when Xie Qingying saw her. She quickly helped her best friend over and waved at her with a smile. "Nianzhi, come and have a chat with your cousin. Our cousins need to get to know each other better. "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up. She thought that women were the best at gossiping. Going to Xie Qingying's place to chat with those women should be more rewarding.
She quickly looked at He Zhichu and said, "Young Master He, I'll go talk to Cousin Xie?"
He Zhichu glanced over and was a little hesitant. "… Are you okay? You only know Xie Qingying over there. "
"It's okay. I'll know her when I get there." Gu Nianzhi smiled and jumped down from the high chair. She turned around and waved at He Zhichu. "Alright, Young Master He, you talk. I'll be right back."
She skipped over to Xie Qingying and said, "Cousin Xie, don't come over. Your foot hasn't healed yet."
Xie Qingying stopped in her tracks and waited for her to pass. She held her hand and returned to their circle.
She let Gu Nianzhi sit next to her and introduced her to her friends. "Gu Nianzhi, a very capable lawyer. Even if you haven't met her before, you've heard of her name, right? She's very young. She's only 20. "
The women who could be friends with Xie Qingying all had similar personalities as her, so they all nodded at Gu Nianzhi and said, "I've long heard of your famous name."
Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, "Ladies, don't mock me. I'm new here. If I accidentally offend you, you must tell me. I'll apologize immediately!"
Her lively and cute attitude quickly won the favor of Xie Qingying's friends. Everyone started chatting and started chatting.
Xie Qingying listened with a smile. After a while, she clapped her hands and said, "It's almost time. Let's go out for a barbecue and enjoy the snow."
"Sure, sure! I heard that there's authentic venison today, and there's a copper wire cover. Everyone can try roasting it like the venison in the dream. "Xie Qingying's best friend was the first to stand up. She then turned around and carefully helped Xie Qingying up.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think of Ma Qiqi when she saw how close the two of them were …
She also had good friends, but unfortunately, they were now far apart.
Gu Nianzhi turned around to look in He Zhichu's direction. She was a little depressed.
Xie Qingying immediately sensed it.
She didn't say anything and whispered to her best friend to bring everyone to the barbecue pavilion outside. She fell behind and walked slowly with Gu Nianzhi.
Qin Haoshan gave her a walking stick that could shrink into a small wooden stick. It could support half of her body weight.
Gu Nianzhi slowed down when she saw this. She held Xie Qingying's arm and whispered, "Cousin Xie, don't blame me for talking too much, but it's really not suitable to wear these high-heeled boots on such a snowy day."
Not to mention climbing a mountain, even on flat ground, the road might freeze after the snow. If they weren't careful, they might fall to the ground.
Xie Qingying smiled bitterly and said, "Since you said that, I'll be honest. I'm wearing these clothes for Young Master He. I'm only 1.65 meters tall, so I'm not as tall as you. If I'm not tall enough, I won't be able to hold up this dress coat. So even if it's snowing heavily, I still can't help wearing high-heeled boots. "
To put it bluntly, a woman would dress up for the person she liked.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood and quickly nodded. "I understand, I understand. Cousin Xie is so beautiful, so she looks good no matter what she wears. It's not like Young Master He doesn't have eyes. He can see … "
Xie Qingying pursed her lips and smiled shyly, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Nianzhi, you really don't like Young Master He? I don't mean anything else. If you still like him, I definitely won't get involved between the two of you. "
Gu Nianzhi was also a magnanimous person. Seeing that Xie Qingying had said it clearly, she admired her and felt that she liked her even more. She turned around and glanced at He Zhichu. Seeing that he had also brought his group of friends out, she laughed softly and said, "… Cousin Xie, I'll tell you the truth. I've always treated Young Master He as my brother. In the past, engagement was done by my parents' generation. Do you know how old I was back then? How could I have feelings for Young Master He? "
"Really?" Xie Qingying's heart was pounding. She looked at Gu Nianzhi intently. She saw that Gu Nianzhi's smile was bright and her expression was calm. She didn't look like she was pretending at all.
Although she was young, she had been in the new media industry for several years. She was best at reading people's expressions.
Xie Qingying believed that Gu Nianzhi was sincere.
Gu Nianzhi nodded heavily. "Why would I lie to you? I'll also tell you that there are many women who like Young Master He, but at the moment, only Cousin Xie's overall qualities are the most outstanding. "
At least she was much better than Wen Shouyi, who clearly had a crush on He Zhichu but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Gu Nianzhi thought about how Wen Shouyi had harbored evil intentions towards her in the other world and took it to heart.
