Gu Nianzhi nodded softly, her mood suddenly relaxed.
If it was Chen Lie, then she would be relieved. She really didn't want Huo Shao to know she had gotten into such embarrassing trouble …
"That's my Brother Chen …" Gu Nianzhi giggled as she explained, "Where is he?"
"He said he had something to do and just went out." Mei Xiawen got up to pour her a glass of water, "Are you thirsty?"
Gu Nianzhi licked her chapped lips and touched the glass with both hands, but didn't drink it. She thanked him with a smile, "Please sit, Class Rep. I'm a guest, how could I ask you to serve me tea?"
Mei Xiawen smiled, his elegant face filled with gentleness as he asked subtly, "Nianzhi, so you live here? We thought … "
Everyone in the faculty knew Gu Nianzhi was an orphan and only had a distant uncle from an average family as her guardian. She also dressed normally.
Although she was beautiful, the sharp eyes of the C University law students first focused on external things, such as the brands of her clothes, shoes, and bag, as well as where she lived. Gu Nianzhi had always lived in the dorms.
Gu Nianzhi had never used any branded goods and wasn't in the dorms during the weekends. Apparently, she was working part-time to supplement her studies. Everyone thought she came from a poor family and sympathized with her.
Mei Xiawen was also from an aristocratic family, and his family's status was higher than the Fengs'. He could tell that Gu Nianzhi's penthouse in Fengya Precinct wasn't cheap.
If she really was an orphan from an average family, she wouldn't be able to afford a place like this.
The decor was elegant and understated. To a knowledgeable person, everything in the apartment was of high quality.
Even Mei Xiawen couldn't tell the origins of some of the items, but that didn't stop him from estimating their value.
Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and smiled. She wasn't embarrassed at all and said crisply, "Oh, you mean this apartment? It's not mine, I'm helping someone look after the apartment. You know that right? "
"Look after the apartment?" Mei Xiawen didn't quite understand, "Isn't it yours or your relative's?"
If Gu Nianzhi's relative had a house like this, then her family background wouldn't be too bad …
Gu Nianzhi quickly waved her hands. "No, no, it's not my relative's house either. To be honest, this house belongs to someone else. They're overseas, but they don't want the house to be left empty, nor do they want to rent it out. So, they found someone they know to look after the house. Coincidentally, I met them when I was working, so they let me stay for two days every weekend to help them clean up, collect mail, and pass on the property fees and utilities. Look, the master bedroom over there is locked. That's their room. I can't go in there. I can only stay in the smallest bedroom. Also, I can't go upstairs. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't want anyone to know Huo Shaoheng's true identity, because she didn't want Huo Shaoheng's halo, and she didn't want to get used to all this.
She had always felt that this place did not belong to her.
Once she regained her memory, she would leave Huo Shaoheng and return to her circle of ordinary people.
The apartment was under Huo Shaoheng's name, and the master bedroom was also Huo Shaoheng's. However, Huo Shaoheng was very busy and spent most of his time at the Special Operations Forces base.
When Gu Nianzhi came back over the weekend, he moved in with her because Huo Shaoheng was worried about her living alone.
As for the second floor, it was Huo Shaoheng's studio, gun room, and gym.
Gu Nianzhi hated the gun room and gym. Ever since she moved there two years ago to attend university, Huo Shaoheng made her practice shooting and watched the stopwatch to make sure she worked out.
She hated long-distance running the most, so seeing the gym's treadmill was like seeing her mortal enemy.
"I see … No wonder you don't live here every day." Mei Xiawen smiled and nodded, believing Gu Nianzhi.
They all knew that Gu Nianzhi lived in the C University Faculty of Law's female dormitory. She only left on the weekends to work to earn money.
That made sense.
She took care of the apartment for people and cleaned it once a week.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. "That's right."
She looked down at herself. She was no longer wearing the off-shoulder blue-purple organza evening gown. Instead, she was wearing her cherry blossom pink striped velvet Egyptian cotton pajamas with long sleeves and long pants. The collar was all buttoned up neatly. She immediately lifted the thin blanket and got out of bed. She changed the subject without batting an eyelid. "Class Rep, I'm better now. Thank you for coming to see me."
Mei Xiawen finally remembered why he was there when he saw Gu Nianzhi was about to leave. He turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, who was grinning from ear to ear. He said worriedly, "Nianzhi, your graduate student interview …"
"Graduate student interview? Oh no, oh no, how could I have forgotten about that … "Gu Nianzhi suddenly realized and slapped her forehead anxiously. She looked like she wanted to die." What should I do? What should I do? My interview … "
It had already been a week. She had long since missed the interview!
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the door lock click, and Chen Lie's round face popped in. He smiled and said, "Nianzhi, you're finally awake." He was surprised to see Gu Nianzhi jumping around in the bedroom.
She was laughing, messing around, surprised, and upset. She didn't look like a patient who had just woken up after being in a coma for more than a week.
If Chen Lie hadn't personally taken care of Gu Nianzhi for a week, he would never have believed that Gu Nianzhi was a patient who had been in a coma for a week.
"Brother Chen! It's really been a week? "Gu Nianzhi moved closer to him nervously." Then my … My interview … "
Chen Lie wanted to comfort her, but turned to see Mei Xiawen watching them with interest. He was a little unhappy. He coughed and said, "Class Rep Mei, right? Thank you for coming to see our Nianzhi. She has just recovered from a serious illness, and I still have to take her to the hospital for a checkup. How about … "
Mei Xiawen understood what he meant. He quickly said, "I just came to see Nianzhi. It's good to know she's fine." He took out the present he had brought. "This is the present I prepared for you at Feng Yixi's birthday party. I bought it especially for you. Keep it. You can use it if you need it in the future."
Gu Nianzhi felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about it, but it had nothing to do with Mei Xiawen. She couldn't take it out on him. She smiled and accepted the present with both hands. "You're too kind, Class Rep. I'll thank you when I get back."
Mei Xiawen looked at her and remembered how they had been laughing and joking at Feng Yixi's birthday party last Saturday. Now they were completely different people. He suddenly felt a little sad and sighed. "Oh, you still don't know, do you? Our class has become a hot topic on the internet. "
"A hot topic on the internet?" Gu Nianzhi said as she opened Mei Xiawen's present. "Does that mean our class is famous now?"
"Yes, famous. Your best friend, Feng Yixi, is famous now."
