Xie Qingying was with her best friend at the moment.
Although it was New Year's Eve, her best friend knew that she had broken up with He Zhichu, so she immediately came to accompany her after having New Year's Eve dinner with her family.
The two of them sat on the bed in Xie Qingying's bedroom, chatting as they scrolled through their phones.
Her best friend was worried that Xie Qingying would do something stupid, so she had already planned to accompany her for the next few days.
Xie Qingying, on the other hand, was calmer than she had imagined, but she was always very depressed. Even reading those silly comics couldn't make her laugh.
Just as her best friend was thinking about how to comfort her, she heard Xie Qingying's phone ring.
Xie Qingying took a look and frowned. "Who is this? Is it a prank? "
A strange phone number appeared on her phone. It wasn't the way they were familiar with numbers in any country.
Her best friend poked her head out to take a look and said thoughtfully, "… Could it be Young Master He calling to ask for peace? He's too embarrassed to use his own number, so he used a special device to hide his number? "
Xie Qingying glared at her and said calmly, "I've already given up, but you haven't?"
"I'm just worried about you." Her best friend quickly raised her hands in surrender. "I won't say anything else. You and Young Master He can solve your problems yourselves."
Xie Qingying snorted and stared at the number for a while, hesitating whether to answer it or not.
In just a short while, the number hung up.
She couldn't tell if she was relieved or disappointed.
However, before she could sort out her thoughts, the number called again.
This time, Xie Qingying didn't hesitate and picked up the phone.
A voice that she didn't like but remembered came from the other end of the phone. "… Cousin Xie? This is Gu Nianzhi. Happy New Year. "
Xie Qingying was slightly taken aback. "… Gu Nianzhi? Is it really Gu Nianzhi? Where did you go? You didn't even come back for the New Year? How can you let your brother spend the New Year alone? "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
It was indeed different from what He Zhichu had said.
Her brows twitched slightly, and she said calmly, "How could that be? Doesn't my brother have Cousin Xie with him? I heard that you guys are engaged. I haven't congratulated you yet! "
Xie Qingying's face darkened. She thought that Gu Nianzhi was calling to laugh at her. She said coldly, "I heard that I'm engaged? Who told you that? "
"Of course it was Young Master He." Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "If Young Master He hadn't told me, how would I have known?"
Xie Qingying understood a little, and the anger in her heart dissipated a little. "… You just called your brother?"
"Yes, I just gave my New Year greetings. I said that I wanted to talk to Cousin Xie, but my brother said that you were spending the New Year with your own family and not at the He family's house. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't say everything He Zhichu said. She instinctively felt that she had to save He Zhichu some face.
Xie Qingying was at a loss for a while, then said lightly, "Thank you, Happy New Year to you too. Also, I've broken off my engagement with your brother, so you don't have to call me or wish me a happy new year. That's all. "
She wanted to hang up in a hurry because she really didn't know how to face Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. She knew it.
Seeing that she didn't have much time left, she didn't stand on ceremony and quickly said, "Cousin Xie, even if you broke off the engagement with my brother, you're still my cousin. Can't relatives call to pay their New Year greetings? Alright, I'm going to eat too. Talk to you later. Goodbye, Cousin Xie. "
As soon as she finished speaking, ten minutes were up.
The magnetic field energy was used up, and her phone was disconnected.
She could no longer dial to the other world.
Gu Nianzhi let out a long sigh. She had a headache thinking about it.
How could this be?
Everything was fine, but they actually broke off the engagement and broke up.
She didn't know what had happened.
He Zhichu was still trying to hide it from her..
Gu Nianzhi slammed her fist on the windowsill.
She still wanted to call, but Song Jinning probably didn't have the authority.
She could only wait for her father, Lu Jin, to sober up tomorrow. She would try to ask if her father had a way to contact the other world.
After Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan sent Lu Jin to the guest room, they didn't see Gu Nianzhi and Song Jinning when they came out.
He looked around the house and saw the slightly drunk Song Jinning. After asking, he found out that Gu Nianzhi was in Song Jinning's study and laboratory.
Although Song Jinning had been smiling and refused to say where Gu Nianzhi had gone, Huo Shaoheng didn't need to ask to know what Gu Nianzhi was doing.
He had no intention of stopping her, and of course, he had no intention of encouraging her.
It was good to pretend that he didn't know.
Huo Shaoheng returned to the dining room and chatted casually with Lu Yuan.
After chatting for a while, 15 minutes had passed, but Gu Nianzhi still hadn't come out.
Song Jinning yawned repeatedly and almost fell asleep on Lu Yuan's shoulder.
Lu Yuan's heart ached when he saw this. He said to Huo Shaoheng, "Help yourself. It's too late. I'll send Jinning upstairs."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Don't worry about me. I'll bring Nianzhi home later."
Lu Yuan glanced at him and deliberately said, "It's so late. Let's stay here. We'll go back tomorrow. "
Huo Shaoheng shook his head calmly. "It's fine. It's New Year's Eve today. It's very lively outside. It's very convenient for us to go back."
Lu Yuan smiled and didn't say anything else. He half-supported and half-carried Song Jinning upstairs.
Huo Shaoheng sat alone in the dining room for a while before knocking on the door of Song Jinning's study and laboratory.
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and thought that Song Jinning had come to rush her. She quickly jumped down from the windowsill and walked to the door to open it. She said, "Ms. Song, can I …"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw that it was Huo Shaoheng standing at the door, not Song Jinning.
Gu Nianzhi clasped her fingers awkwardly in front of her and said embarrassedly, "It's Major General Huo …"
"Yes, you seem a little disappointed." Huo Shaoheng looked at her calmly. "Have you finished calling your brother?"
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. "How did you know?! Did Ms. Song say that? "
I didn't expect you to be like this, Ms. Song!
Gu Nianzhi was cursing silently when Huo Shaoheng held her hand and walked into Song Jinning's study and laboratory. He said slowly, "Ms. Song didn't say it. I guessed it."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
"You really guessed it?" She looked at him suspiciously. "How did you guess that? I don't believe it. "
She had never told anyone about this. Could Huo Shaoheng read minds? How did he know?
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and pulled her arm away. He wrapped it around his waist and said calmly, "You took advantage of my absence to coax Ms. Song to come to her laboratory. Could it be that you're here to do a high-energy physics experiment?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She pursed her lips. "How did I coax Ms. Song when you weren't around?"
"I clearly asked Ms. Song for help openly!"
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly. "Yes, so you admit it?"
Gu Nianzhi thought about He Zhichu's situation and felt that she should confess. Perhaps Huo Shaoheng could help her.
Gu Nianzhi said honestly, "I asked Ms. Song for help and called my brother."
"You really don't know until you call him. He was actually engaged to Cousin Xie and then broke off the engagement. It hasn't even been a year! "
Huo Shaoheng wasn't surprised at all. He said calmly, "… Young Master He has been giving Xie Qingying face for so long."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think he's rarely with Xie Qingying because he loves her?" Huo Shaoheng tapped Gu Nianzhi's forehead. "Are you stupid? That's to reassure his father and not force you to continue being with him. He's using Xie Qingying as a shield. "
"Now that his father has passed away, of course Xie Qingying as a shield is dispensable."
"In other words, he no longer has to care about who else is forcing himself to be affectionate with Xie Qingying."
If he didn't know that Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu were biological siblings, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't have said a single word.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a long time. After a while, she said faintly, "… I finally understand where Cousin Xie's faint hostility towards me came from …"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of her eye and smiled faintly. "Cousin Xie has a good temper. If you used me as a shield, I would definitely kill you to the end! "
Huo Shaoheng hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to kiss her passionately. He whispered hoarsely in her ear, "… How could I bear to?"
