Only if he really had her in his heart would he remember everything related to her, right?
Even if it was just a trivial matter, she would only know what he had done for her back then …
But he had never said it.
If Lu Jin hadn't asked her today, Gu Nianzhi would never have known about Huo Shaoheng's silent care and protection for her.
During the years when she had thought it was hopeless to have a crush on him, he had already built a wall of love to protect her from the wind and rain.
He had allowed her to do whatever she wanted in the circle he was watching over.
Gu Nianzhi felt like she was eating vanilla ice cream under the scorching sun. Although it was already so sweet that it had melted, the refreshing and warm feeling made her heart and bones soften. She wished she could snuggle into Huo Shaoheng's arms right now.
Huo Shaoheng quietly moved his arm off the sofa behind Gu Nianzhi and wrapped it around her soft waist.
Gu Nianzhi's body trembled slightly. Although the expression on her face didn't change much, her blushing cheeks gave away some clues.
Only Lu Jin was unaware of the sudden sweetness in the room. He was still carefully thinking about the identity of the ordinary-looking girl.
"Nianzhi, if your former undergraduate classmate didn't have the surname Mao, then how do you feel about that person just now?"
"Is there anything about her tone of voice and behavior that you find familiar?"
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and quietly pinched Huo Shaoheng's arm that was tightening around her. She smiled and said, "This is in the game, Dad. It's different from seeing the real person."
"If the real person was standing in front of me, I would be able to recognize her even if she had changed her appearance."
Was her camera's memory just a decoration?
"I just checked her game data, but I couldn't see anything." Lu Jin tsked. His hands were itching to completely destroy the server and source code of the large-scale online game.
However, he also knew that the large-scale online game was currently an important clue for them. If it was destroyed just like that, it wouldn't be worth it.
It would allow the person behind the scenes to hide even better.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed as she began to reason. "Although I can't figure out her true identity for the time being, we can do the reverse."
"First of all, we can't see her data at all. Even a plug-in won't work. There's only one reason, and that's because her data is directly hidden by the system."
"This means that she's an insider of this game company."
"Moreover, it's not an ordinary employee of the game company, but an executive of the game company, or someone who has a very close relationship with the executive or even the boss behind the game company."
"Because only with such a strong relationship would the game's programmer or system maintenance open such a huge backdoor for her."
"Secondly, she knows my undergraduate classmates very well, or at least knows my dormitory roommates. This means that she is very likely to be my classmate in the same department."
Lu Jin interrupted, "Don't the students from other departments and grades know you? My girl is smart and beautiful. Everyone in the school should know you. "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
You have too much faith in your daughter …
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Dad, I was very low-key during my undergraduate studies. At that time, Huo Shao gave me the identity of a distant relative of his. I lived in C City and was looking after houses for relatives …"
Lu Jin's gaze instantly darkened. He looked at Huo Shaoheng unkindly, as if he had mistreated his girl.
Huo Shaoheng, the "relative" sitting next to her, coughed uncomfortably and explained, "… Nianzhi was young at that time. She was only 16 years old, and she was in class with a group of third-year classmates. It was better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, how would Nianzhi study well if all the lascivious girls pounced on her?"
A girl who was smart, beautiful, and had a family background and status would indeed attract many boys in school.
Lu Jin reluctantly accepted this reason, but he still felt very guilty. He said, "Sigh, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Nianzhi would have followed Young Master He over there. Whether it was school or work, she would have been comfortable and smooth sailing. Why would she need to keep a low profile?"
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Was she deliberately stabbing him in the heart to draw blood?
Seeing this, Gu Nianzhi quickly changed the topic and said, "Dad, I haven't finished analyzing yet. Do you still want to know who this girl who bragged to me that I can't escape is?"
"Oh, go ahead." Lu Jin raised his hand. "I'm listening."
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and moved closer to the front of the sofa, slightly avoiding Huo Shaoheng's burning arm around her waist. Only then would she be able to clear her head.
She stretched out her finger and continued, "Based on how familiar she was with my roommates in the game, I still think she's a classmate in the same department as me, or at least temporarily, a classmate in the same department as me."
"This person shouldn't have cared about me in the first place. As soon as she spoke, I couldn't suppress her desire for me to be unlucky. Even if she was a game character, I could feel the malice and disgust coming from her."
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking and thought about it seriously for a while. She shook her head and said, "No, it shouldn't be."
"What's wrong?" Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng asked in unison.
Gu Nianzhi almost pinched her fingers and posed like a fortune-teller.
She frowned slightly and said, "I've thought about it carefully. There were actually very few people who had a problem with me when I was an undergraduate. There were much fewer weird people and things than when I went to B University in the imperial capital for graduate school."
At that time, she had met Wen Shouyi, the weirdo among weirdos, in order to take the exam for He Zhichu's graduate school.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and retracted her thoughts from Wen Shouyi.
"Isn't that good? The scope is smaller again. How could that be wrong? "Lu Jin asked in confusion.
"It's because the scope is small. There were only a few people who had a problem with me when I was an undergraduate, but none of them had the time or conditions to commit the crime …"
Gu Nianzhi spoke smoothly and even used legal terminology.
"That doesn't matter. Let's see if they have the motive first, and then see if they have the objective conditions." Huo Shaoheng immediately decided. "Who else has a problem with you that I don't know about?"
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She had forgotten that Huo Shaoheng probably knew more about her than she did.
However, when it came to what happened back then, she couldn't avoid talking about their first time …
With Lu Jin glaring at her covetously to hear the details, Gu Nianzhi felt that her face was so hot that it could burn.
Huo Shaoheng turned his head and glanced at Gu Nianzhi. Seeing her suddenly blush, he was slightly stunned and also thought of that matter. His heart trembled slightly, and he quickly changed the topic. "I think the person who had a problem with you the most during your undergraduate years was your ex-first boyfriend, Mei Xiawen, right?"
Lu Jin's eyes suddenly widened. "First boyfriend?! Nianzhi, your first boyfriend wasn't Huo Shaoheng? "
Gu Nianzhi quickly waved her hand. "Dad, don't listen to Major General Huo's nonsense! Of course my first boyfriend was Major General Huo! "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Although he was still sitting next to Gu Nianzhi without batting an eyelid, his iron bones were about to be warmed by Gu Nianzhi's words.
