"You're exaggerating." Gu Nianzhi smiled until her eyes curved into two crescent moons. She covered her mouth with her hand, and the back of her hand was as white as jade. Her originally pure eyes narrowed and slanted because of her smile, and there was a hint of seductiveness in them that made them look watery.
Although Ma Qiqi was a woman and a straight woman at that, her heart skipped a beat when she saw it. She shook her head and covered Gu Nianzhi's eyes with a smile. "Demon! You're too demon! Nianzhi, don't look at me with such seductive eyes again. Be careful that I don't turn gay! "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed until her stomach hurt.
The two of them joked around in the living room, and their laughter traveled all the way to the hallway.
A classmate from next door poked her head in to look and laughed. "Oh? It's really different now that someone else is living here. This house used to be so lifeless, and everyone had to tiptoe when passing by, afraid to disturb Her Highness's fragile nerves! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Who was she talking about?
Ma Qiqi walked over to push the girl's head and laughed. "You talk too much. It's not as ridiculous as you make it out to be. Oh right, I think you have to speak at the class meeting tonight. Are you ready? "
"Oh! I forgot! Thanks for the reminder, Qiqi! "The girl quickly slipped back to her dorm.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Ma Qiqi and felt that not only was she straightforward, but she also didn't like to talk behind people's backs. She was indeed a good girl with a good character.
Ma Qiqi turned around, but Gu Nianzhi had already looked away. She said to her, "The cafeteria is about to close. Aren't you going to eat?"
"Oh! I forgot! I had too much fun eating the pea cake! " Ma Qiqi almost jumped up as she spoke. She rushed to her room to grab her purse and rushed out the door.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't straighten her back from laughing and slumped on the sofa alone. After a long time, she realized that her cheeks were a bit stiff. She had been smiling the whole time.
The sky gradually darkened. Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It was already seven o 'clock.
He Zhichu's meeting was reportedly pushed to 8: 30 to accommodate one of his doctoral students' schedules.
Class 1's meeting started at 7: 30.
After dinner, Ma Qiqi would go straight to Class One's classroom for the meeting. This meant that Gu Nianzhi would have an hour to herself.
She got up from the sofa and went to her room to continue organizing her books and clothes.
Not long after, Huo Shaoheng's phone suddenly rang.
She hurriedly got up from behind the desk and ran to the bed to get her phone, but she tripped over the stool in the middle of the room.
She rolled on the ground and almost rolled forward to the side of the bed. She grabbed her phone from the edge of the bed and hurriedly swiped it open. "Hello?" She panted. "Is this Huo Shao?"
Huo Shaoheng held a cigarette in one hand as he sat on the balcony of the suite on the second floor of the official residence, lost in thought. There was a cup of tea on the small coffee table beside him, as well as an oval sky-blue Yue porcelain saucer with two small tea pastries on it.
Huo Shaoheng didn't like this kind of sweet and sticky taste, but she wasn't by his side. Seeing what she liked to eat made him feel better.
Taking another bite of the tea was as intoxicating as the taste of her in his mouth.
"Nianzhi …" Huo Shaoheng's voice came from the phone. It was low and magnetic, like a cello by the stream at night. Mixed with the steam, it was intoxicating.
Gu Nianzhi panted and said, "Huo Shao? Have you had dinner? "
"Yes, have you eaten?" Huo Shaoheng rubbed his fingers around the sky-blue Yue porcelain saucer and listened carefully to Gu Nianzhi's voice. He realized she was slightly panting. "What's wrong? Did you just exercise? "
"No, I was in a hurry just now and tripped. I'm sitting on the floor now to call you." Gu Nianzhi laughed and sat cross-legged on the corner of the bed.
"Hurry? What's the hurry? " Huo Shaoheng held a cigarette in his hand and shook the ash in the ashtray. "If it's urgent, then I'm hanging up."
"No!" Gu Nianzhi panicked. "I tripped and fell because I was in a hurry to answer your call. If you hang up again, wouldn't I have tripped for nothing? "
"So you're blaming me?" Huo Shaoheng's low chuckle came from the phone like a small hand playing with her earlobe.
Gu Nianzhi covered her pounding chest with her hand and thought to herself, Huo Shao, can you tease me a little more?
Tease me a little more, or I'll eat you up …
"Of course it's your fault!" Gu Nianzhi said angrily. "If you called me more often, I wouldn't be so flustered when I hear your phone ring."
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips curled up imperceptibly. He deliberately teased her. "Things are precious when they are rare, so you should call even less in the future."
"… No way!" Gu Nianzhi panicked and stood up abruptly. The bruise on her leg hit the corner of the bed again, and she finally couldn't help but groan.
Huo Shaoheng's smile quickly faded and he also stood up. "Nianzhi? What's wrong? "
Gu Nianzhi was in so much pain that she couldn't speak for a long time. She gripped the phone tightly and rubbed her leg as she slumped on the bed. After a long time, she finally said in a muffled voice, "… The bruise just now hit again."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless for a long time before reprimanding her quietly. "Looks like your training will have to resume again. You're staggering in your own room. How long has it been since you last trained? How long has it been since you last ran? "
Gu Nianzhi cried internally. She wanted to hang up, but she couldn't bear to. Her expression was very conflicted.
She simply clutched the bruise on her leg and whimpered. "It hurts … My leg hurts so much … Sob sob sob … It's bruised and swollen …"
Huo Shaoheng understood Gu Nianzhi's little trick very well. She was deliberately changing the topic and exaggerating the pain to make his heart ache.
"It really hurts?"
"It really hurts! It hurts so much! Look, it's all swollen! " Gu Nianzhi rolled up her trousers and revealed her fair calf. The bruise in the middle of her calf was very obvious.
Gu Nianzhi turned on the camera on her phone and took a photo to send to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the photo, his expression still calm. "It's only a little bruise. It's nothing. Stop pretending. If you keep pretending, I'll bring you back. You'll have to run 10 kilometers of cross-country every day and do physical training. The same intensity as the Special Forces."
Huo Shaoheng had to admit that he knew Gu Nianzhi too well.
As soon as she heard this, she immediately pulled down her trousers and walked around the room. Kicking her legs, she said, "Huo Shao, it's fine. I'm fine, really. I just walked around the room a few times and nothing happened. Don't worry about me anymore. Just work hard and protect the country. There's nothing for you to worry about here. "
Huo Shaoheng's smile gradually widened. "Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a little bruise. I'll apply some ointment and it'll be fine tomorrow." Gu Nianzhi patted her legs and pretended to be very proud.
"That's good." Huo Shaoheng lay back on the rattan lounge chair and looked ahead quietly.
The night was dark and cold. The night sky was dotted with stars and the forest in the distance was bleak. Only a rough outline could be seen.
He looked up at the night sky and finally said, "Nianzhi, do you remember the name Gu Xiangwen? Gu as in caring, Xiang as in auspicious, and Wen as in writing. "
"Gu Xiangwen? Who's that? "Gu Nianzhi had no idea what Huo Shaoheng was talking about." Does it have anything to do with me? "
Because her surname was also Gu, and Huo Shaoheng specifically asked, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think in that direction.
"… Is he my relative?" Gu Nianzhi asked again. She thought hard and searched her memory repeatedly, but she couldn't find the name "Gu Xiangwen."
Huo Shaoheng knew this name because Gu Nianzhi had said it while unconscious during the bone marrow transplant surgery for Song Jinning.
When she woke up, she couldn't remember what she had said at all.
Huo Shaoheng was the only one present at the time and heard her mention the name.
Because it was an important matter, he only told Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong. He couldn't tell anyone else, so he didn't even have someone to discuss it with now.
Huo Shaoheng lay on the wicker chair with one arm across his forehead to cover his eyes. The other hand was still holding a cigarette. He hadn't smoked in a long time, so the cigarette ignited silently in the darkness and lit up little by little.
"Nianzhi, you really don't remember knowing someone called Gu Xiangwen?" Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while and asked, "This is very important."
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and entered a meditative state. Her mind was blank as she tried to search for the parts of her memory that she had lost.
After a while, she opened her eyes and took the phone to see that it was still connected.
She said hello, "Huo Shaoheng, are you still there?"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng's voice sounded tired. "Do you remember?"
Gu Nianzhi was now certain that it had something to do with her lost memory, but she really couldn't remember anyone with this name.
She asked carefully, "Huo Shaoheng, can you give me more clues so I can think about it?"
How would she connect the dots if he only gave her a name?
"More clues?" Huo Shaoheng repeated Gu Nianzhi calmly.
"Yes, there are more clues. For example, how old is he, where he's from, what he looks like, what he does for a living, etc. "Gu Nianzhi rubbed her leg as she got up.
Looking at her watch, it was already past eight. She had to get ready to go to He Zhichu's for a meeting.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything.
If he knew how old Gu Xiangwen was, where he was from, what he looked like, and what he did for a living, why would he ask Gu Nianzhi?
Gu Nianzhi looked in the mirror and realized that she had just fallen and wrinkled her pants. It would be very rude to wear it out.
She held her phone in one hand and took off her cashmere sweater and trousers with the other. She changed into a thick cashmere dress, put on thermal stockings, and put on a pair of boots. At the same time, she packed her wallet, keys, and small laptop into a backpack.
When she was done, she realized that Huo Shaoheng was still silent. She quickly asked, "Huo Shaoheng?"
Huo Shaoheng snapped out of his daze. "What's up?"
"I have to go to a meeting." Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. "There's still ten minutes left. I have to run over."
