He Zhichu's phone quickly connected, but Gu Nianzhi didn't know where he was. She could even hear the wind whistling in her ears.
He Zhichu's cold voice seemed to come from a faraway place. It was like an icicle on a cold night, with a piercing warmth.
"Gu Nianzhi, have you forgotten everything you promised me?!"
"Professor … Professor He …" Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable after being scolded by He Zhichu. "I … I have a reason."
"What kind of reason?! You better tell me now! I'm about to arrive at the Special Operations Forces headquarters! I'll wait at the door to see when you'll come out! " He Zhichu's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth. Gu Nianzhi could even imagine his extreme rage, the veins on his forehead bulging.
"What?! You're on your way?! "Gu Nianzhi sat up in shock." You're coming to the Special Operations Forces headquarters?! "
"Can't I? Since you didn't call or give me any information, I had no choice but to come see you in person. "
He Zhichu didn't want to talk about how he had endured the past two days. He only had one thought now, and that was to see Gu Nianzhi with his own eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to relax.
"Professor He, where are you?" Gu Nianzhi paused and naturally used her negotiation skills to change the subject. "Is it inconvenient for you to talk outside?"
"It's convenient for me to talk. I can talk to you at any time!" He Zhichu closed his eyes and gripped the steering wheel tightly as he sped towards the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
His expression was grim and his eyes were filled with anger. He was like a barrel of gunpowder that was about to explode.
Gu Nianzhi choked and smiled sheepishly. "Professor He, don't be like this. You really scared me …"
Hearing her voice, He Zhichu's anxious heart finally calmed down after two days.
He had vented most of his anger after yelling just now. The only thing he was worried about was Gu Nianzhi's health.
"… That's enough to scare you? You don't seem that timid … "He Zhichu snorted and slammed on the brakes to slow down the speeding car.
"Professor He, I'm fine. I'm really fine." Gu Nianzhi panicked and opened the Facetime video on her phone. "Professor He, look, I'm perfectly fine. It was my fault yesterday. I promised to call you, but I forgot … "
Gu Nianzhi felt a little guilty and tried to smile at the camera.
He Zhichu held the steering wheel with one hand and accepted the call with the other. He saw Gu Nianzhi's face appear on the phone screen.
He Zhichu scanned Gu Nianzhi's surroundings and frowned. "You're on the bed?"
Gu Nianzhi sat on the bed and raised the phone to face herself. She smiled and said, "As you can see, I did have a reason. I injured my spine, and I just had surgery yesterday. I've been unconscious since then. I just woke up today, but I still can't move. "
He Zhichu looked at her silently for a while before saying slowly, "… Really? He really couldn't get up? Why do I remember that you injured your foot … "
Gu Nianzhi was about to smile and say, "Of course it's the feet, and also the back," when she suddenly remembered what He Zhichu had said to her the other day before she had the X-ray.
"It's best to have your ligaments checked. If there's a problem with the ligaments, it needs to be treated immediately. Otherwise, it won't recover."
Chen Lie also said calmly to her, "Nianzhi, did you injure the ligaments in your ankle before?"
"… It shows that your ankle ligaments do have traces of old injuries …"
Gu Nianzhi finally found the direction and answer to the strange feeling she'd been having for the past two days. She blurted out, "Professor He, how did you know that my ankle ligaments have old injuries?"
He Zhichu didn't answer directly. He looked at her again and ended the video call. He put on his Bluetooth headset and asked her coldly as he drove, "Is your back really injured?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked and realized that He Zhichu had avoided her question.
She looked at the black screen in her hand and pouted. "… Of course it's true. How could it be fake? I couldn't get out of bed because of the pain. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I might have been paralyzed in bed for the rest of my life. "
He Zhichu snorted and said dryly, "You? Paralyzed in bed? That's the biggest joke in the world. "
Gu Nianzhi felt even more strange. "Why can't I be paralyzed in bed? It's human nature to grow old and die of illness. I accidentally hit my back and injured my spine. If it weren't for the doctor's brilliant medical skills, I really wouldn't have been able to get out of bed. "
She paused and continued in a fawning tone, "But I'm fine now. Professor He, you can go back. I'm really fine. But … "
She remembered that Huo Shaoheng wanted her to take two more weeks of leave and couldn't help but sigh.
What should she do?
She was stuck in a loop of logic.
If she insisted that she was fine, then she had no reason to ask for two weeks of sick leave.
But if she said that her injury was serious and she needed to rest for two weeks, then He Zhichu wouldn't give up. He would definitely come to the Special Operations Forces headquarters to see her.
She also knew that He Zhichu would never be able to enter.
So they were going to leave him alone outside?
That didn't seem very appropriate. After all, he was her instructor. They still had two and a half years to go.
What should she do?
"But what?" He Zhichu pressed her. "What else are you hesitating about? I'm only here to check on your injury. There's nothing else. "
"Professor He, you can't enter this place." Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth. "I'd better get up to see you. Can you stop a hundred yards from the main entrance and tell me the license plate number? I'll come out to see you myself, okay? "
He Zhichu was silent. He thought about it for a while and turned the steering wheel with a squeak. He drove to the shoulder of the road and stopped.
It would be much easier to make a video call.
"Gu Nianzhi, tell me the truth. Is your spine really injured?" He Zhichu stared at the phone screen. He wished his eyes were X-rays and could see through Gu Nianzhi's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to see the condition of her bones.
"It's true." Gu Nianzhi nodded very sincerely. "I have X-rays. If you want to see them, I'll take a picture when you get back and send it to your phone. Is that okay?"
"But you're fine now, right?" He Zhichu confirmed it again.
On the phone screen, Gu Nianzhi had red lips and white teeth. Under the light, her skin was snow-white and delicate. Even with a magnifying glass, he couldn't see any flaws. It was like a kind of kiln-made cherry powder porcelain from his hometown. It had a more translucent pink texture than white jade.
Usually, only the most meticulously cared for babies would have such delicate, flawless, snow-white skin.
People with this kind of skin color shouldn't be seriously injured to the point of not being able to get out of bed.
"I'm really fine now." As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she raised the phone and got out of bed. She walked around the bedroom a few times. "Look, aren't I very normal? And my ankle … "
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she swept her feet side by side for He Zhichu to see. She said proudly, "Can you see which foot is dislocated? It was swollen yesterday, but it's fine today … "
He Zhichu's phone screen showed a pair of similarly pink feet. Her toes were round and plump, like an enlarged baby's foot. It made people want to take a bite.
He Zhichu looked away and breathed a sigh of relief uncomfortably. "Your left foot is recovering well. Remember to watch where you're going next time. Don't walk backwards. You don't have eyes on your back, so you'll end up like this if you hit it." “
Gu Nianzhi giggled. "I know, Professor He. You're so good to me. It's my blessing to have a mentor like you. Thank you."
She became more polite to He Zhichu. She thanked him left and right, and the distance between them grew wider and wider.
He Zhichu said indifferently, "You're welcome. You can rest for two weeks and come back to school after that."
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She didn't expect He Zhichu to relent so easily. She felt that she had gone too far. She quickly said, "Professor He, thank you so much. You don't know how important these two weeks are to me!"
He Zhichu's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel. His eyes were cold as he said dryly, "But you have to promise me one thing."
Gu Nianzhi asked, "What thing?"
She was celebrating too early. How could He Zhichu be so easily dismissed?
"I have a document. I'll send it to you first. Sign it and fax it to me." He Zhichu said as he sent the power of attorney to Gu Nianzhi's email.
Gu Nianzhi opened the email on her phone and quickly glanced at the power of attorney. She froze.
It turned out to be a legal power of attorney. He Zhichu wanted to be her full legal representative. He had the right to help her sue others. Of course, when others sued her, He Zhichu would also be her lawyer.
