Hearing Gu Nianzhi's sneezing, Huo Shaoheng immediately touched her hand out of habit.
Her hand was soft and boneless, but also very cold.
"You're cold?" Huo Shaoheng reacted immediately and told Fan Jian in the driver's seat, "Turn the heat up to the max."
"No need." Gu Nianzhi pulled on Huo Shaoheng's hand and said worriedly, "I'll just wear a down jacket. You'll be hot if the heat is turned up, and it'll be cold when we go out later. You'll catch a cold. "
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and felt a new sensation.
Gu Nianzhi, who had grown up under his care, now knew how to take care of people, and the person being taken care of was himself.
It had to be said that this was a new experience and he wasn't used to it, but he didn't dislike it at all.
Fan Jian felt that Gu Nianzhi had a point, so he didn't turn the heat up right away. He only looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "Chief, do you still want to turn the heat up?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "No need, I'll wear a down jacket." She grabbed the down jacket beside her and put it on.
She hadn't worn it earlier because she thought she could handle it and didn't want Huo Shaoheng to know she was cold.
Huo Shaoheng would definitely understand once she put on the down jacket.
Now that he found out she was cold without it, there was no need to be conflicted.
Gu Nianzhi quickly put on the down jacket and immediately warmed up.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her deeply, his large hand wrapped around her small hand and squeezed it. He reached out with one arm to pull her into his embrace while still holding her hand with the other. "Are you still cold?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect Huo Shaoheng to hug her like this in front of Fan Jian and Yin Shixiong. She was very nervous and wanted to struggle but couldn't bear to.
Huo Shaoheng's embrace was as hot as fire, and she craved his heat and warmth.
Fan Jian and Yin Shixiong didn't say anything in the front.
Fan Jian didn't think it was too much. Gu Nianzhi had grown up with Huo Shaoheng, and they had also watched her grow up. It wasn't a big deal to warm her hands.
However, Yin Shixiong was different. He knew that Gu Nianzhi liked Huo Shaoheng so much that she couldn't help herself. Not only did she love him, but she also idolized him. She was his die-hard fan, so he didn't doubt Gu Nianzhi's feelings for Huo Shaoheng.
However, he had no confidence in Huo Shaoheng's feelings for Gu Nianzhi.
He still remembered that Huo Shaoheng had already been intimate with a woman, and Huo Shaoheng wasn't someone who would just sleep with anyone.
With Huo Shaoheng's abilities, he had kept that woman a secret until now. He must have loved her deeply.
Moreover, with Huo Shaoheng's status, it was impossible for him to marry Gu Nianzhi. It would be difficult even for them to publicly be together.
Gu Nianzhi's past was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, ready to fall and take their lives at any time.
Yin Shixiong took out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Liangze.
[Daxiong]: "Little Ze, how's your investigation on Gu Xiangwen going?"
[Xiao Ze]: I'm checking. What's wrong? You have news?
Zhao Liangze replied very quickly. It was obvious that he was working online.
Yin Shixiong sighed softly. His fingers flew across his phone as he typed and sent another message.
[Daxiong]: "No. I'm taking Nianzhi to school. I'm in the car. The Chief is here too. "
Zhao Liangze saw the message and instantly understood what Yin Shixiong meant.
He sat in front of his computer and scratched his head in frustration. He muttered, "The target has been narrowed down to a few hundred people, but from what I can see, not a single one of them meets the requirements …"
Did he really have to get these few hundred people to test their DNA?!
He couldn't even think about it.
Once too many people were involved, news would definitely leak out, and it would be impossible to keep it a secret.
The Huaxia Empire divided the confidentiality of information into five levels: Top Secret, Confidential, Secret, Sensitive, and Public.
Each level was further divided into five levels, and each level was indicated by an asterisk. Five stars meant the highest level, and one star was the lowest.
Gu Nianzhi's past was classified as a secret in the Huaxia Empire. Two stars wasn't particularly high, but to ordinary people, it was already information that the general public couldn't access.
But even though the mission was difficult, he couldn't back down.
For the sake of Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng, he had to find a way to filter out useful information from these few hundred people and further narrow down the scope of testing.
He thought for a long time before sending Yin Shixiong a message.
[Little Ze]: "I'll narrow down the scope as soon as possible and get a list."
Yin Shixiong saw the message and was slightly relieved. He put his phone away.
In the back seat, Gu Nianzhi was already much warmer. She poked her head out of Huo Shaoheng's arms to look at the scenery outside the window and the bustling traffic. She suddenly remembered something and whispered to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, will you always be working in the Imperial Capital from now on?"
In the past, Gu Nianzhi had attended university in C City, so Huo Shaoheng had moved his main work base there.
To make it easier for Gu Nianzhi to interact with her classmates, Huo Shaoheng had bought her an apartment. She would return to the apartment on weekends and only return to the Special Operations Forces base during the winter and summer breaks.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her. "Yeah, I'll be here from now on, unless I'm on a mission."
Huo Shaoheng's rank was already very high, but the work of the Special Operations Forces was rather special. As the highest commander, he had to personally go on special occasions and couldn't always sit in the office.
Of course, he had far fewer opportunities to go on missions than his subordinates. He would only go on top-secret missions.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and asked, "Then what will I do on the weekends? Go straight back to your official residence? "
Huo Shaoheng patted her head. "Where do you want to go?"
"I'm fine with it. Of course I'm willing to go to your place." Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "Then at school … at school … how should I tell my classmates and professors?"
He Zhichu and Wen Shouyi already knew Huo Shaoheng's true identity. Gu Nianzhi probably couldn't pretend to be an "orphan girl adopted by distant relatives" anymore at B University.
She smiled slyly and asked, "Do you want to change my identity?"
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to adjust her down jacket and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to change. Your parents are working far away and you were fostered in our home. That's the truth. "
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
Fan Jian: "…"
Yin Shixiong: "???"
The other three people in the car were momentarily speechless.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi asked again, "Then what do my parents do for a living?"
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her. "What do you mean?"
"You said my parents are working far away. Then what if my classmates ask what your parents do for a living? How am I supposed to answer? Or should we say the same thing so we don't get caught? " Gu Nianzhi tilted her head as she spoke. Her red, moist lips parted, revealing her perfect, white teeth. She was the epitome of "red lips and white teeth."
Yin Shixiong giggled from the front passenger seat and turned to ask, "Nianzhi, are you going to write a script for all of us to memorize?"
"I'll write it. Who's afraid?" Gu Nianzhi winked at Yin Shixiong. "How about we write it like this. My parents are … professionals. As for their profession, I'll look it up when I'm in school and perfect my persona."
Huo Shaoheng ignored her and Yin Shixiong's nonsense. His gaze was attracted to her teeth. He reached out to lift her delicate chin and swept his thumb over her lips. He said dryly, "From your teeth, you must've had braces when you were young. Families that had braces before the age of 12 were at least well-to-do. Why don't we say your parents are doctors? "
"Doctors?" Gu Nianzhi nodded. "That's good. Doctors are professionals."
"Then where do they work?" Gu Nianzhi propped up her chin and leaned against Huo Shaoheng. Her large eyes blinked and made people want to count her long and dense eyelashes.
"You can say Europe as the place of work." Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly. "You don't have to be too detailed."
"What if someone asks where exactly in Europe?" Gu Nianzhi continued to let her imagination run wild.
Huo Shaoheng lost interest and turned to look out the window. He didn't want to get involved with Gu Nianzhi's wild imagination.
Yin Shixiong clicked his tongue from the front seat. "Nianzhi, how did you get such a gossipy classmate? You're not talking about yourself, are you?"
"Pfft! You're the one talking about yourself! "Gu Nianzhi was interrupted by Yin Shixiong and didn't dwell on the issue.
Fan Jian slammed on the brakes and said loudly, "We're here."
Gu Nianzhi looked up slightly and saw the south gate of B University was already in sight.
"Nianzhi has a lot of stuff. Let's drive in." Yin Shixiong turned to ask Huo Shaoheng for his opinion.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "We'll drive directly to her dorm."
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "I haven't even registered yet. I don't even know the dorm number. How would I know where I live?"
"I know." Yin Shixiong turned to make a face at her. "Huo Shao asked me to complete your admission procedures yesterday. I also got the dorm key." As he spoke, Yin Shixiong took out a key and waved it at her.
Gu Nianzhi gasped and was extremely grateful. She shook Huo Shaoheng's hand. "Huo Shao, you're so thoughtful."
"Hehehe, I was the one who ran the errands. Nianzhi, you can't be this biased, can you?" Yin Shixiong pretended to be jealous and rolled his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi laughed and leaned her head on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder. "I'm biased. You'll die if you don't like it."
"Pfft! You'll die if you don't like it! " Yin Shixiong turned around and made a knife-hand gesture. He then took out a pass and showed it to the guard at the south gate of B University.
The guard looked at it for a while before letting their car in.
There were some private cars that couldn't enter B University's south gate. When they saw the SUV in front of them enter, they all asked who it was.
The south gate of B University was famous for only recognizing license plates and not people.
The car in front of them didn't have a B University license plate at all.
Everyone asked about it, and someone recognized it and said, "That license plate looks like it has a military number on it."
"Oh!" The crowd let out a long sigh of relief, indicating that they understood immediately.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what was going on outside. She looked around curiously at the B University scenery and didn't look away until the car stopped in front of a dormitory building.
There were several types of dormitories for graduate students at B University. Gu Nianzhi's dormitory was specially arranged by He Zhichu. It was on the sixth floor of the newly built graduate student dormitory. It was a suite with two bedrooms and a living room facing south. It only housed two people and had its own bathroom.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car and watched as Fan Jian and Yin Shixiong helped her move her things into the building.
Huo Shaoheng didn't come out. He sat in the car and said to Gu Nianzhi, "I'll pick you up this weekend. You can stay at my place for a while. When the new apartment is ready, you can move there. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. Her heart was in turmoil for a long time. She asked sheepishly, "Am I going to be living alone in the new apartment?"
