The two of them hugged and kissed in Song Jinning's lab, but that was all.
Huo Shaoheng wouldn't be intimate with Gu Nianzhi in a place he couldn't control.
He picked up Gu Nianzhi, who had gone soft from his kisses, and got into the car. He left Song Jinning and Lu Yuan's West Mountain villa and headed to his official residence at the Special Operations Forces headquarters in the imperial capital.
Gu Nianzhi leaned against the car and looked at him with a smile. She didn't speak, but there were thousands of words in her eyes.
Under her passionate gaze, Huo Shaoheng drove the car at the speed of a fighter jet on the empty highway into the city.
He couldn't take it anymore. His self-control and endurance were greatly tested.
He wanted nothing more than to give her everything, even his life.
…
The first day of the Lunar New Year in the imperial capital was especially cold.
The temperature dropped precipitously. The highest temperature during the day was only -15 degrees Celsius, and the forecast was even colder at night.
Huo Shaoheng had indulged himself the whole night. Even with his strong physical strength, he didn't wake up on time in the morning. The "battle situation" was obvious.
In the warm bedroom, he opened his eyes and picked up Gu Nianzhi's phone from the bedside table to look at it. It was already nine in the morning.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. He was much more awake.
Fortunately, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he didn't need to be on duty or go to the base this year, so it didn't matter if he slept a little longer.
General Ji intended to let him rest for a while, so after he returned to work, General Ji still didn't give him too much work.
However, sleeping until nine in the morning was very rare in the years since he'd joined the army.
He didn't want to move. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. She was still sleeping soundly.
Her thick, long eyelashes were like two rows of beautiful fans, drawing two beautiful arcs on her fair face.
Under her straight and exquisite nose, the curvy lips he'd tasted countless times yesterday were slightly upturned, as if he'd had a sweet dream.
The apricot red silk was tightly covered to her chin, like the skin of a red-coated peanut. Just looking at it, he could imagine the white and supple skin underneath.
No, not peanuts, but soft and chewy jade tofu.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help smiling slightly. He turned to the side and lifted the skin of the red-coated peanut to start eating the tofu …
There was no meat to eat, so eating tofu was good too.
…
Another half a day of absurdity.
By the time the two of them stopped, it was already noon.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were wide open as she stared at the ceiling. She couldn't believe everything that had happened since last night.
Very good, she thought. Her and Huo Shao's bottom line on this matter had been crossed again.
Huo Shaoheng had been dry for too long, and he loved Gu Nianzhi very much, so he didn't control himself.
Now that he saw Gu Nianzhi leaning softly against him, she was like a tender flower bud that had been blown by the wind and snow in the cold of December. If he used any more force, she would fall from the branch.
Huo Shaoheng regretted it a little. He reached out to hug her and kissed her forehead without any lust. His voice was low, and he asked in a slightly flattering tone, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. "
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and said weakly, "… I want to eat osmanthus glutinous rice balls. I ate them at President Lu's house yesterday."
Huo Shaoheng pinched her nose. "I'll go see if there's any in the kitchen. If not, I'll go buy some."
"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Where are you going to buy it?" Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and pulled Huo Shaoheng. "It seems quite cold outside."
She had felt it when she came back last night, but it was still quite warm being held in Huo Shaoheng's arms.
"There are stores in the military headquarters compound that are open all year round." Huo Shaoheng tucked her in. "But Little Glutinous Rice Ball's family should have prepared it. I'll go look."
Although the orderlies had gone home for the Lunar New Year, they should have prepared New Year's goods for him.
Huo Shaoheng put on his casual clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Zhao Liangze was sitting at the dining table eating lunch.
When he saw him come down, he grinned at him, revealing eight white teeth. "Huo Shao, you're amazing!"
He gave him a thumbs up.
Huo Shaoheng had a headache. He tilted his head to look at him. "Why are you here? I thought you weren't on duty this year? "
Zhao Liangze wasn't from the Imperial Capital. His parents and relatives were all in C City.
Zhao Liangze shook his head. "I switched shifts with Big Xiong. He's only been married for less than a year. Let him go to his in-laws' house to show his filial piety. "
"What about your parents?" Huo Shaoheng walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to look for something.
"They went overseas for the Lunar New Year this year. They even video-chatted with me last night." Zhao Liangze ate his lunch without any appetite.
He looked at Huo Shaoheng out of the corner of his eye. "Huo Shao, what delicious food are you making? Can you share it with everyone? "
Huo Shaoheng turned to look at him with disdain. "You always get low marks when it comes to cooking. When Big Xiong comes back, I'll get him to give you special attention and train your cooking skills. "
"It's fine as long as it's edible! I don't want it to look, smell, and taste good! "Zhao Liangze screamed. He finished the food in a few mouthfuls and immediately ran to his shift.
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly. He took out a bag of sesame stuffed glutinous rice balls and found a bottle of sweet osmanthus from the storage room. Judging from the place of origin, it was a specialty from Southern Yunnan.
Using sweet osmanthus to cook glutinous rice balls tasted even better than dried osmanthus.
Soon, a pot of steaming hot glutinous rice balls was cooked with rice wine. He added the sweet osmanthus and stirred it. The sweet fragrance with a hint of intoxicating sweetness instantly wafted from the kitchen.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and had just come downstairs when she was attracted by the fragrance.
"What's that smell? What's that smell? What the hell, why is it so fragrant! It's so appetizing! "
Gu Nianzhi's stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Now that the fragrance was drilling into her stomach, she could barely stand.
Huo Shaoheng placed a bowl of sweet osmanthus rice wine sesame glutinous rice balls on the table in front of Gu Nianzhi. He smiled and said, "I made it casually. Try it."
He paused for a moment and then said lightly, "… It might be a little worse than President Lu's."
Gu Nianzhi took a spoon and scooped a spoonful. The sweet osmanthus and rice wine surrounded a small sesame glutinous rice ball the size of a white jade finger. She swallowed it in one gulp. It was so delicious that she narrowed her eyes and only cared about feeling the tenderness and softness of the glutinous rice ball.
With a gentle bite, the sesame filling inside flowed out and the juices scattered everywhere. It soothed her morning temper.
Gu Nianzhi took a satisfied breath and nodded at Huo Shaoheng. "Delicious! It's even better than President Lu's! "
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng also scooped a bowl for himself and sat next to her to eat.
The glutinous rice ball rolled in his mouth. It reminded him of something else, and his mind was in turmoil as he ate.
However, their warm time didn't last long before Gu Nianzhi's phone rang.
It was Lu Yuan's number.
Gu Nianzhi quickly picked up and asked, "Happy New Year, President Lu! Happy New Year to you and Ms. Song! "
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. "Open the door. I'll give you a red packet."
That nice?!
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She put the last bite of glutinous rice ball into her mouth and rushed out to open the door.
She saw Lu Jin standing at the door happily with a big red packet in his hand. "Happy New Year, girl!"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
At the entrance of Huo Shaoheng's official residence, Lu Yuan sat in the car and made an OK gesture at her. He drove away.
He had sent Lu Jin back to her!
