"He's so handsome!"
"Is it really okay to look at a girl like that under the streetlights?!"
"Yunxiao, didn't you say he's your future cousin-in-law? Then who's this girl? She looks quite old … "
"Go away! How is she old? This is maturity! Maturity! Do you understand? All goddesses are like that! "
Miao Yunxiao's dorm was very lively. Other than her and her roommates, there were girls from other dorms as well. Everyone laughed and joked around, eager to see Miao Yunxiao's phone.
Miao Yunxiao raised her arm high.
A photo was clearly displayed on the iPhone in her hand.
Under the warm yellow streetlights, a man and a woman looked at each other and smiled silently.
The man was tall and mature. Just the side profile of his handsome face was enough to steal everyone's breath away.
The woman was tall and beautiful, looking up with a smile. An older man stood beside her with his hands in his trouser pockets, watching the scene with a wide smile.
It was like a warm family portrait.
Gu Nianzhi felt her eyes water and lips dry. She stood quietly at the door and stared at the phone in Miao Yunxiao's hand.
Miao Yunxiao turned to look at her and smiled, "Oh? Classmate Gu, why are you staring at me? "
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists and told herself not to argue with Miao Yunxiao and to leave. However, her legs seemed to have a mind of their own and refused to leave.
Ma Qiqi didn't know what was going on and popped her head out of curiosity from behind Gu Nianzhi, "What's wrong? What are you looking at? "
"I'm looking at a photo of my future cousin-in-law!" Miao Yunxiao nodded at Ma Qiqi with a smile, then sneered at Gu Nianzhi, "Are you stupid? The organization has never considered you, and you're still daydreaming! "
Gu Nianzhi glared at Miao Yunxiao, her eyes were bone-chilling and made Miao Yunxiao shiver.
She shrank her neck and muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong! My cousin told me herself that the military wanted to introduce her to Major General Huo. General Ji is the matchmaker … Do you think you even have the slightest chance? "
Gu Nianzhi was confused, she didn't seem to understand what Miao Yunxiao was saying.
Miao Yunxiao continued, "Actually, people should be content with what they have and know their place. Don't ask for things that don't belong to you. Even if he could get his hands on it for a while, he was just toying with him. Those men weren't stupid. If they wanted to get married, they would have to find a woman of equal status. Study hard, find a good job after graduation, and then find a good husband among your colleagues. That's better than anything else. "
Gu Nianzhi finally understood what she meant and felt her blood rush to her head. Her head buzzed as she leapt towards Miao Yunxiao.
"What are you doing?!" Miao Yunxiao jumped back in fright.
Ma Qiqi was also shocked. She quickly hugged Gu Nianzhi from behind and urged, "Nianzhi! Nianzhi! Ignore her! Her mouth is dirty, so if we ignore her, we'll dirty our hands! "
Miao Yunxiao was furious at Ma Qiqi's words. She dodged to the side and yelled at Ma Qiqi, "Qiqi! Don't be fooled by her! Why do you think she threw me out? It was because I saw through her adultery! "
"Shut up!" Gu Nianzhi's expression changed as she flipped and twisted her right hand to use the little grappling technique Huo Shaoheng had taught her. She broke free from Ma Qiqi's grasp and slid to Miao Yunxiao's side. She placed her left hand on Miao Yunxiao's right shoulder.
Miao Yunxiao screamed as her right arm holding the phone drooped and the phone fell to the ground.
Gu Nianzhi quickly reached out with her right leg and kicked the falling phone up. She then reached out with her left hand and caught Miao Yunxiao's phone firmly in her hand.
Everyone in the room was stunned by Gu Nianzhi's move and didn't recover for a long time.
"Gu … Gu Nianzhi, you learned kung fu?" Miao Yunxiao's roommate asked in surprise. "That kick was so beautiful!"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at her before looking down at the photo on the phone.
It was indeed Huo Shaoheng. There was also a woman she didn't know but looked very familiar. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
She couldn't help frowning as she tried to recall if she had seen this woman before. Otherwise, why did she look so familiar?
Just as she was lost in thought, Ma Qiqi came over and asked carefully, "Nianzhi? Nianzhi? Are you okay? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't respond and continued to stare at the photo on the phone.
Ma Qiqi followed her line of sight and saw the photo.
She looked at it curiously for a while before saying, "This man is really handsome … Why does this woman look so familiar?" Her eyes darted around and finally landed on Gu Nianzhi's face.
From her angle, Gu Nianzhi was exactly the same as the woman in the photo.
"Ha! Nianzhi! Don't you think the woman in the photo looks a bit like you?! "Ma Qiqi shouted and patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder.
The students in the room immediately rushed over. "Let me see! Let me see! "
"They really look alike!"
"They don't really look alike? Nianzhi is younger and more youthful … This woman looks very mature … "
The students spoke one after another, and the discussion was very lively.
Miao Yunxiao finally realized that the woman in the photo looked a lot like Gu Nianzhi …
She suppressed the soreness in her chest and rubbed her shoulder. "It's right that they look alike. Someone is just a substitute. Otherwise, why would Major General Huo lower himself to such a high position? "She opened her hand at Gu Nianzhi." Give me back my phone! "
Gu Nianzhi slowly reached out and placed Miao Yunxiao's phone back in her hand.
The phone seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. It was so heavy that it almost broke her arm.
"Do you understand now? It's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep is lost. " Miao Yunxiao put the phone away and smiled at Gu Nianzhi. "I won't be harsh since you're so upset. We're all adults and law students, so of course we know what's right and wrong. "
Gu Nianzhi tried her best to keep her eyes open and not let the bitterness in her eyes turn into tears.
"Miao Yunxiao, can you speak with a straight face? Don't be so sarcastic. " Gu Nianzhi replied sternly, "You said it yourself, we're all adults and law students. How can you make groundless accusations like this? You must be imagining a melodramatic drama after seeing this photo, right? It's a shame you didn't become a screenwriter with this kind of talent. "
Miao Yunxiao didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to still be in the mood to bicker with her after seeing her sweetheart in another man's arms!
"Don't be so stubborn, your nose is almost red. Cry if you want to, we're all classmates and won't laugh at you." Miao Yunxiao pouted and returned to her room. "Fine, I'll stop messing around with you guys. I have a date tomorrow, so I'm going to bed early today. "
Miao Yunxiao slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Everyone looked at each other and Miao Yunxiao's roommate said awkwardly, "Fine, fine, that's all. Let's go back and get some rest and a beauty sleep. We still have dates tomorrow!"
Ma Qiqi took Gu Nianzhi's hand as they left Miao Yunxiao's room. She noticed that Gu Nianzhi's hand was cold and sweaty. It was all cold sweat.
"Nianzhi, are you okay?" Ma Qiqi asked with concern. "How about we go back? I'll heat up a glass of milk for you. "
Gu Nianzhi's mind was filled with the photo she saw earlier.
Why did Huo Shaoheng look at that woman like that?
Why did that woman look so much like her?
They looked so harmonious and loving when they stood together …
Gu Nianzhi felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her chest and suffocating her.
"No … Qiqi … I can't stay with you today …" Gu Nianzhi gripped her hand tightly and murmured, "I … I want to go home … I won't come back today …" She quickly walked back to her room to pack her things and prepare to go back to the Special Ops headquarters to ask Huo Shaoheng about it.
She wanted to ask him about the photo as well as what Miao Yunxiao had said about the military introducing Huo Shaoheng to Cousin Miao Yunxiao.
She had questions in her heart for a long time.
Although the days since she confessed to him had been sweet, there was also a growing shadow looming over her head.
Why didn't Huo Shaoheng reveal their relationship?
Was there an insurmountable barrier between them?
If there was, then he should let her go …
As Gu Nianzhi packed her things, she gritted her teeth and told herself not to cry, not to throw a tantrum, and to be reasonable.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand and hurriedly put her laptop and belongings into her backpack. She put on a knee-length down jacket and left the room.
Ma Qiqi chased after her and followed her down the elevator. She looked at her worriedly and asked, "Nianzhi, are you okay?"
Gu Nianzhi held her hand, "I'm fine, but there are some things I want to ask. If it's impossible, then at least let me give up. "With that, she plunged into the night.
Ma Qiqi didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to really have a relationship with the "Major General Huo" in the photo.
She crossed her arms and stood in front of the dormitory building, extremely worried.
…
Gu Nianzhi carried her backpack and walked quickly through the forest on campus.
The early spring nights in the Imperial Capital were still very cold, and the cold wind cut her face like knives.
Gu Nianzhi wrapped her entire face with a scarf, revealing only her eyes.
Although the weather was cold, her entire body was hot, and her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
When she arrived at the campus gate, she called a taxi company to rent a car to the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
However, when the companies heard where she was going, they didn't want to send a car.
Gu Nianzhi almost threatened to sue them if they didn't want to give her a ride.
After arguing for a while, Gu Nianzhi noticed her phone was ringing again. Looking closely, she saw it was Huo Shaoheng.
"Nianzhi? Are you asleep? "Huo Shaoheng's voice came from the phone. In the quiet night, it was exceptionally touching.
The tears Gu Nianzhi had held back all night finally burst out. She clutched her down jacket in the cold wind and choked out, "No …"
"Classmate, don't stand at the school gate to make a call." A security guard had been watching her for a long time and walked over to let her leave. "You can either go in or go out. What are you doing blocking the entrance?"
Huo Shaoheng heard the security guard's loud voice over the phone and froze. "Nianzhi? Where are you? "
Gu Nianzhi was forced to leave the school gate. She walked to the wall and stood still. She gritted her teeth and didn't answer. She only asked, "Huo Shao, I … I have something to ask you."
