Yin Shixiong only wanted to chuckle at Gu Nianzhi's confidence in Zhao Liangze.
"Is that true? How come I don't see you pouncing on your Brother Ze? Aren't you a girl? "
"Me?" Gu Nianzhi pointed at herself, "How could I pounce on Brother Ze? He's my brother! My biological brother! "
"Kiss my ass!" Yin Shixiong couldn't take it anymore, "How is he your biological brother?!"
"Oh! Brother Xiong, are you jealous? "Gu Nianzhi teased Yin Shixiong on purpose," I see you as my biological brother too. You two are neck and neck, don't laugh at me! "
"Pfft! You little girl, you're getting all over me! " Yin Shixiong purposely tightened his grip on the towel, causing Gu Nianzhi to protect her hair and glare at him, "Brother Xiong, just say it if you don't want to dry my hair. What kind of hero are you playing tricks behind my back?"
"Fine, fine, I'm just teasing you. Your hair is almost dry, just use the hairdryer and it'll be fine." Yin Shixiong saw that Gu Nianzhi was about to explode and stopped teasing her. He let go and put down the towel to rub Gu Nianzhi's half-wet hair, "Nianzhi, Huo Shao, Little Ze and I watched you grow up. Little Ze and I treat you like our biological sister. Huo Shao also treats you like a junior. Did you forget that he always told you to call him Uncle? Why haven't you called him that recently? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless at Yin Shixiong's words.
It wasn't time for their relationship to be made public yet, and even if it was, Gu Nianzhi would listen to him completely. His status was special, and Gu Nianzhi didn't want to cause him trouble. She trusted him 100%, so she couldn't refute Yin Shixiong's words.
She could only nod perfunctorily, "I know, I know. You're all doing this for my own good, especially Huo Shao."
"That's right." Yin Shixiong slapped his thigh again, "Huo Shao dotes on you as a junior. In the future, when you find a boyfriend and get married, Huo Shao will definitely give you a huge red packet. "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. She was a bit unhappy and stood up to smile at Yin Shixiong, "Brother Xiong, why are you suddenly so concerned about my marriage? I'm only eighteen. Why do you think I'm married? According to the law, the age of marriage for women is 20. Brother Xiong, do you want me to break the law? "
Which girl in the modern society would get married at the age of 18?
Even if she wanted to, the law wouldn't allow it.
Yin Shixiong was caught off-guard by Gu Nianzhi and quickly interrupted her with a smile. "I didn't say you were getting married right away. Find a boyfriend first, spend some time together, and then get married two years later. Isn't that good? "
"I'll only be twenty in two years! I don't want to get married so early! " Gu Nianzhi glared at Yin Shixiong and thought to herself, Unless I marry Huo Shaoheng …
In fact, Huo Shao still refused to acknowledge her as his official girlfriend. It was too early to talk about marriage.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she turned the gun to Yin Shixiong. "I'm so young, so I'm not in a hurry at all. But Brother Xiong, you'll be 27 this year, right? Don't talk about marriage, you don't even have a girlfriend. Tsk tsk, you're not even anxious yourself, but you're actually anxious for an 18-year-old girl like me. "
As expected of a lawyer, she was good at stabbing people.
Her words almost made Yin Shixiong vomit blood. He braced himself against the back of the sofa and leaped over. Sitting on the sofa, he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at Gu Nianzhi. "Who talks like that? Why do you care if I have a girlfriend or not? Why do you care if I'm married or not?! What does it have to do with you?! "
"Tsk tsk! You're starting to get agitated when it hurts. "Gu Nianzhi walked to the bedroom with a towel and laughed." Then don't worry about me! Don't blame me for stabbing you a few more times. "
Yin Shixiong was defeated. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't win against Gu Nianzhi. He could only stand up and call out to the bedroom, "I'm going downstairs. Come down for dinner when you're done."
Gu Nianzhi didn't hear the buzzing of the hairdryer in the bedroom.
However, she didn't need to be so polite with Yin Shixiong. He could come and go as he pleased. He didn't need to greet her.
After drying her hair, she came out of the bedroom and saw that there was no one in the living room outside. She didn't care, knowing that they must have gone out. She went back to the bedroom to apply a facial mask and turned on the computer. She happened to see her roommates were there, so they happily video-chatted.
…
It was past seven, and the reunion dinner was almost ready.
The chef at the official residence called Huo Shaoheng to report to the chief that the reunion dinner would be ready in half an hour.
Huo Shaoheng hung up the phone and rubbed his eyes. He reread the assignment for next year and reorganized the personnel that needed to be adjusted. Then, he called Zhao Liangze over the intercom. "How's the investigation going?"
Zhao Liangze searched the national household registration and identification system for more than an hour before he finished searching the entire database.
He looked at the list of names in front of him with some trepidation.
When Huo Shaoheng's inquiry came in, he was doing further investigation.
"Huo Shao, the preliminary investigation is complete. There are a total of 1,823 'Gu Xiangwen's' still alive in the country. "
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
There were actually so many.
"… What about the list of people who died in the past ten years? Have you checked? "Huo Shaoheng asked again. This was the only way to make it complete and not miss any clues.
Zhao Liangze shook his head. "We haven't searched the database of the deceased yet. Do you want to search it first?"
"Yes, let's do it." Huo Shaoheng leaned back in his chair and thought as he said, "Search for people over 35 years old. The possibility of people under 35 is too low."
"Yes, Chief." Zhao Liangze accepted the suggestion and logged into another database to start searching.
"Since there are so many people, it won't be easy to find them in a short time. Let's go back for dinner first."
Zhao Liangze thought it made sense. After setting up the automatic search, he left the office with Huo Shaoheng.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong both had their own houses at the Special Operations Forces headquarters, but they also had their own rooms at Huo Shaoheng's official residence. When they needed to be on duty, they would stay in their own rooms.
Most of the time, they stayed with Huo Shaoheng at his official residence.
There was still Shousui after dinner, so he definitely wouldn't go back. Therefore, he went directly to Huo Shaoheng's official residence with him.
It was getting late. When they came out of the office, they saw the bright lights of the official residence in the distance. It was especially eye-catching in the night sky.
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly. It seemed like Yin Shixiong had given it his all to come up with this idea.
…
"Hello, Chief!" The guard at the door saluted Huo Shaoheng and stood straight.
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly. "Happy New Year. Have you eaten?"
"Yes." The guard was very excited. "There's supper after the shift change!"
Zhao Liangze couldn't help but laugh. He patted the guard's shoulder and walked into the living room with a smiling Huo Shaoheng.
Yin Shixiong sat alone in the living room, wiping his gun with a thin piece of velvet.
Seeing that they had finally returned, Yin Shixiong quickly put his gun back on his waist and stood up with a smile. "Huo Shaoheng, are you done?"
Huo Shaoheng looked around. "Is the reunion dinner ready?"
"It's almost ready." Yin Shixiong walked over and pointed to the dining room. "Dinner will be ready in half an hour."
"Did you inform them?" Huo Shaoheng looked upstairs.
Yin Shixiong knew Huo Shaoheng was asking about Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi. He quickly said, "I just called the internal line to inform them. Mrs. Song said she would be coming down soon. Nianzhi … didn't get through."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "I'll go change." He then walked upstairs.
His room was opposite Gu Nianzhi's.
When he got back, he first went to Gu Nianzhi's door and knocked. No one answered, so he opened the door himself with the key.
Gu Nianzhi happened to be in her bedroom having a video chat with her three former roommates. She didn't hear the internal line ring.
She had just finished the conversation when Huo Shaoheng came in.
"Oh? Huo Shaoheng, why are you here? "Gu Nianzhi took off her headset and turned around." Is the dinner ready? "
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng glanced at her, his eyes lingering on her smooth wrist. "Big Xiong said he called you on the internal line, but you didn't pick up."
"I was having a video chat with someone." Gu Nianzhi explained with a smile. "It was my roommates from university. It's the New Year. They're all greeting me. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't care. "That's good. I'll go take a shower and change. "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help wanting to follow Huo Shaoheng when she heard he was going to shower.
She rubbed against Huo Shaoheng and smiled. "Huo Shaoheng, what are you going to wear today?"
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her and turned to leave. He said dryly, "There are so many clothes. Just wear whatever you want."
"That's not good. Huo Shaoheng, let me help you pick something. "Gu Nianzhi caught up to Huo Shaoheng and grabbed his arm. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
"Come if you want." Huo Shaoheng didn't object. He allowed Gu Nianzhi to grab his arm and walk him back to his suite.
After he went in, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. It was almost time for dinner, so he couldn't take a long shower.
He hurriedly washed his hair and body. It took him less than 20 minutes to get out of the bathroom.
Gu Nianzhi had already found him a new set of clothes and put it on the bed. However, Gu Nianzhi didn't wait in the bedroom. Instead, she played with her phone in the living room.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the clothes Gu Nianzhi had found for him. It wasn't a military uniform, but a casual one.
A dark red cashmere turtleneck and black slim-fit wool trousers. He then thought about the red checkerboard checkered cashmere sweater and black cropped pants that Gu Nianzhi was wearing today. Her intentions were obvious.
He rubbed the clothes for a while and thought about it. He changed into them and took out a small box from his closet. He walked to the living room and tapped Gu Nianzhi's shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw that Huo Shaoheng was wearing the clothes she had picked out for him. It was the exact same color and style as hers. Her eyes curved into crescents as she deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "Huh? Where did this handsome guy come from? Did you come to the wrong door? "
Huo Shaoheng was so irritated by Gu Nianzhi calling him "handsome guy" that he replied calmly, "If you call me that again, I won't give you the present."
"There's a present?!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up. Her large, bright eyes were practically glowing. "Let me see it! Let me see it! "
Huo Shaoheng smiled but didn't say anything. He allowed her to think of ways to beg him for a long time before he finally took out the small box. "I'll put it on for you."
It turned out to be a wristwatch, a Bvlgari women's watch. It had a simple yet elegant mechanical dial and a rose gold strap. Most importantly, it matched the Bvlgari men's mechanical watch on his wrist. It was a couple's watch.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked as she watched Huo Shaoheng put it on her wrist. Her delicate, snow-white skin was a stark contrast to the cold, hard mechanical watch. It had an indescribable sense of seductive beauty.
Gu Nianzhi looked at it again and again, then carefully scrutinized Huo Shaoheng's watch. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Huo Shao, where did you get a watch like this? I don't remember … there being a model like this? "
Even the tips of her ears were flushed when she said this.
That was because she had exposed her hidden thoughts.
Gu Nianzhi had secretly wanted to buy a watch a year ago. She wanted the same style as Huo Shaoheng's watch, but she couldn't find it anywhere. She even called Bvlgari's customer service, but they told her that not every men's watch came with a matching women's watch. Huo Shaoheng's watch wasn't a couple's watch series, so it wasn't available at all.
She didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to actually get it.
Huo Shaoheng nodded without batting an eyelid. "Yes, there isn't."
"Then where did you get it?" Gu Nianzhi was suspicious. She caressed the couple's watch on her wrist reluctantly.
"… I had them custom make it." Huo Shaoheng stood up nonchalantly. "Let's go eat."
