Huo Shaoheng propped an arm on his bent left leg and looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was hanging her head. He looked out the window and smiled faintly. "… What do you want to say?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He shouldn't be like this!
She had already said what was on her mind. How could he not respond?
Gu Nianzhi looked up angrily and bravely said, "I already said I like you. What about you?"
"Oh." Huo Shaoheng nodded and said nonchalantly, "Thank you."
Gu Nianzhi exploded. She was so angry that she got up and threw the pillow in her arms at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng blocked it with his arm and the pillow flew to the other side of the room.
Seeing that the pillow couldn't "attack" Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi could only use herself as a weapon and pounced at him.
Huo Shaoheng reached out to catch her and let her sit beside him. He patted her back and smiled faintly. "Are you crazy? Can't you let me think about it? "
Gu Nianzhi became even angrier. He had already hugged and kissed her and he still wanted to think about it?!
"Think about what?! Are you going to say that you drank too much? That's why you had sex after drinking? " Gu Nianzhi was so anxious that she didn't know what to say. "If you dare say that, I … I'll run away from home!"
Gu Nianzhi glared at Huo Shaoheng fiercely. She was terrified that he would say something heartless.
After all, Huo Shaoheng had always been strict with her and wouldn't agree to unreasonable requests no matter how much she argued.
She remembered that when she was 13 years old, there was a time when she really liked to play games, almost to the point of addiction.
Huo Shaoheng discovered it when he came back from a mission and said he wouldn't let her play. No matter if she cried, threw a tantrum, went on a hunger strike, or ran away, he made her submit without any room for negotiation.
In the end, she got rid of her gaming addiction, but her fear of Huo Shaoheng was still deep in her bones.
She moved closer to Huo Shaoheng and grabbed his arm to look at him nervously.
Huo Shaoheng turned his breathtakingly handsome face and looked at her silently. Then he smiled at her.
Gu Nianzhi was dazzled by the pure white snow floating outside the window. His smile dazzled her so much that she almost lost her mind.
Then she heard his voice, which seemed to come from the sky, "You want to know my answer? — Flirt with me. "
"Seduce … you?!" Gu Nianzhi's breath was stuck in her throat. She was almost scared silly.
He, he, he … How did he know that I wanted to flirt with him?
"That's right. Once you've flirted, I'll be yours." Huo Shaoheng leaned forward and patted Gu Nianzhi's face. He smiled at her dazed expression.
He had never been so relaxed before. He leaned against the large pillow with one arm resting on his bent left leg. His right leg was stretched out on the bay window sill. His gaze lingered on her for a moment before moving out of the window.
"!!!"
She was shocked for a full minute before she found her tongue and stammered, "You, you, you … Are you serious? You can't joke about this kind of thing! "The expression on his face was so nervous that he almost cried.
"I'm not joking." Huo Shaoheng turned his head and reached out a finger to lift Gu Nianzhi's chin. "I've always kept to my word."
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and moved her chin away angrily. There was a little person in her heart screaming, Come on! Hurt each other! Who's afraid of who? It's just flirting …
As she thought this, she heard Huo Shaoheng say leisurely, "But what if you run away from home? You'll never be able to flirt with me."
The little person in Gu Nianzhi's heart had already pulled out a knife and slashed at Huo Shaoheng …
Of course, she was only fantasizing about it in her heart. Huo Shaoheng's powerful aura was evident. Even flirting with him required his consent.
"But you kissed me just now …" Gu Nianzhi was unwilling to be completely suppressed by Huo Shaoheng. She resisted weakly. "Wasn't it because you like me?"
"I already said it was alcohol." Huo Shaoheng carelessly dusted off his pajama pants. "I can't help it if you don't believe me."
Gu Nianzhi was at her wit's end. She silently lowered her head and obediently said, "Then please forgive me if I'm not good at flirting …"
"Ok, work hard to improve your professional skills." Huo Shaoheng patted her shoulder. "I like your perceptivity." He looked like he was very much looking forward to the prospect of being flirted with.
Gu Nianzhi pouted and secretly looked at Huo Shaoheng. However, she couldn't tell what he was feeling at all.
The passionate kiss just now was like a flash in the pan. It was a rare moment when Huo Shaoheng lost control.
It was too short …
Gu Nianzhi sleepwalked out of Huo Shaoheng's bedroom and returned to her own.
She had cried and argued with Huo Shaoheng and even tried to hit him. Gu Nianzhi thought about it now and only felt exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as she fell.
…
After Gu Nianzhi left, Huo Shaoheng didn't sleep. He turned to look out the window, and the smile on his face gradually faded into the darkness.
He took out his phone and played with it for a while. Finally, he opened the address book and found General Ji's number.
It was only nine o 'clock. General Ji was reading in the study. When he saw it was Huo Shaoheng calling, he happily picked it up. "Shaoheng? You're not asleep yet? "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Not yet. General Ji, you're still reading? "
"Yes, there are a few translated military works from abroad. I'm fascinated by them and have a lot of thoughts." General Ji put his reading glasses back on. "Oh right, why are you calling me so late at night? What's the matter?"
He knew that Huo Shaoheng rarely called him outside of work hours. When he did, it meant he had something important to say.
However, Huo Shaoheng only exchanged a few pleasantries with him before asking some personal questions. "General Ji, if I want to get married, how long will the background check take?"
"Get married?!" General Ji almost fainted. He stood up abruptly. "When did you get a girlfriend?! Why are you talking about getting married?! "
Huo Shaoheng laughed. "I'm just asking about the procedure to see how long it will take. You know, I don't have much time to spend on personal matters. If I must get married, of course, it's better to be prepared early. "
He had a special status. He was a high-ranking military official and an important core member of the Special Intelligence Force.
The woman who could marry him had to have all their family and social connections investigated. The background check could sometimes take several years.
"Oh, that's more like it. You scared me so much that my high blood pressure almost flared up. " General Ji slowly sat down. "It's good that you're planning ahead. However, as someone who's been through it, I still advise you not to get married just for the sake of getting married. Find a woman you like, get along with her, and then think about getting married. As for the background check, as long as you find a girl who matches your family background, the background check will definitely be quick. If you're not quick, come find me! "
Huo Shaoheng chuckled. He didn't argue with General Ji. He only asked a lot more questions about the background check procedure.
He used to think that these things were overly sensitive and never paid attention to them.
He never dreamed that he would have to deal with the military's background check organization one day.
After talking about the marriage background check, General Ji had a stroke of inspiration. He actually mentioned Gu Nianzhi. "Shaoheng, how's Nianzhi lately? She's already 18 and doesn't need a guardian. I heard that you brought her back to your home? "
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng put on his Bluetooth headset and spoke to General Ji. He turned on his computer and began to pull up various background check documents from the intranet to carefully study.
"This girl has a good character, but unfortunately, her background is unknown. Otherwise, I would have specially approved her to join the army and follow you as a little follower." General Ji laughed. "What a pity, what a pity."
Huo Shaoheng's fingers tightened around the mouse. He grunted. "We're still investigating her background, so she'll still follow me. Does General Ji have any objections? "
"No, no." General Ji quickly said, "It's best if she's willing to follow you. Don't push her away. I feel that she's very important, so you can't let your guard down. "
"Of course not." Huo Shaoheng's lips curled into a faint smile. "Don't worry, General Ji."
