"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Huo Shaoheng remembered it was already past 11: 30 when he came in. "You still need to rest. Although Chen Lie said you're fine, who knows?"
Huo Shaoheng walked over and naturally held Gu Nianzhi's hand as he led her back to the bed.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at Huo Shaoheng. Her eyes were focused and calm, and they sparkled in the darkness like dazzling obsidian of the highest quality. However, perhaps because it was dark, her eyes weren't as pure and clear as they were during the day. Instead, they were dark and bottomless.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help holding her waist and bending down to kiss her eyelids.
Gu Nianzhi's body couldn't withstand Huo Shaoheng's strength. She was as supple as a willow tree and bent back slightly.
Huo Shaoheng's kisses slid down from her eyelids, past her delicate nose, and to her plump, red lips.
He sucked on her lips like she was a delicious candy and couldn't stop loving her.
Gu Nianzhi gently nestled in his arms. Only his hot chest was the safest place for her.
The unknown was faintly discernible and gradually revealed the outline of a large body in front of her. She didn't know what she would face if she peeled away the thick fog.
But she knew one thing. Whether it was good or bad, her life would definitely be different from now.
She could no longer hide under Huo Shaoheng's wings and ignore the storms of the outside world.
Perhaps it was because Huo Shaoheng gave her such a strong sense of security and love that she never thought about what it would be like if she had parents.
But now, she had no choice but to force herself to find everything she'd lost. Memories, family, and a clear identity.
Because if she didn't find them, she couldn't be with Huo Shaoheng forever.
And she couldn't lose Huo Shaoheng. She didn't want to lose him.
Huo Shaoheng kissed her as he carried her to the bed and covered her with the blanket.
Leaning against the bed, he turned on the bedside lamp. Under the warm yellow light, Gu Nianzhi's small face revealed a slightly yellowish ivory whiteness.
Huo Shaoheng touched her face and asked, "Nianzhi, how does He Zhichu normally treat you? Big Xiong and Little Ze said he treats you very differently from other people. What do you think? "
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes … Luckily Brother Xiong had reminded her. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to answer.
In the few hours after Yin Shixiong left, Gu Nianzhi had already mentally prepared herself.
She subconsciously felt that there were some things that she couldn't say because she couldn't explain it clearly. She was also afraid that Huo Shaoheng would be unhappy …
"… Professor He treats me quite well. Brother Xiong and Brother Ze should have already told you about what happened in America." Gu Nianzhi blinked, her eyes sparkling under the light. Huo Shaoheng looked down at her and reached out for her, but he retracted his hand halfway and adjusted the blanket for her instead.
"Yes, Professor He does treat me differently. Sometimes he seems to care about me, but sometimes he treats me strangely. For example, when I was in America, I didn't know how I annoyed him, but he chased me out without saying anything. I even injured my leg at the time, but he didn't care. "
At this point, Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, she also injured her leg in America last time. Although it wasn't as serious as this time, He Zhichu didn't seem to care. He directly chased her out and didn't even ask for a car to take her home.
She was upset and angry. She cursed He Zhichu countless times in her heart. Later, she met Mei Xiawen, who had flown over from the Hua Xia Empire to look for her. She was finally touched by his pursuit …
And this time, she said she "might be paralyzed." He Zhichu's tone was extremely disdainful. It was like he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Why was he so sure that she would be fine?
Even Chen Lie couldn't guarantee it.
Huo Shaoheng was even more nervous. He practically tied her to the seat in the car so she couldn't move.
But it would be a lie to say that He Zhichu didn't care about her at all.
He Zhichu was always furious when he found out that someone had hurt her.
She still remembered the time in America when the American campus police officer's greasy hand was about to reach out to her face when He Zhichu walked in with a gun.
Seeing him like that, Gu Nianzhi didn't doubt that He Zhichu would kill someone. If someone dared to touch her, he would kill them …
At the time, she didn't think too much about it. She only felt that He Zhichu had saved her when she was in danger and was extremely touched.
If it weren't for He Zhichu's mood swings and her sensing of his unusual feelings for her, she wouldn't have felt so distant from him.
But thinking about all these things together, was He Zhichu's feelings for her really as simple as romantic love?
Ordinary romantic love, or even love at first sight, would he go that far for her? To this extent of caring?
Sometimes, it was really on par with Huo Shaoheng …
"He didn't really care about it last time. Why is he reacting so strongly this time?" Huo Shaoheng mused. "Have you thought about the reason behind this?"
Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a long time but still didn't tell him about He Zhichu's "old ligament injury." She wanted to confirm it with He Zhichu first before telling Huo Shaoheng.
Because when it came to Huo Shaoheng, it was no longer a small matter, but a huge matter.
Gu Nianzhi turned over on the bed and lay on her side next to Huo Shaoheng's leg. She simply rested her head on his hard thigh and muttered quietly, "How would I know? He's always been a moody person … Once in his office, I said something wrong, and his gaze almost killed me … "
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time. He patted Gu Nianzhi's head. "If that's the case, why don't you stop being his graduate student and transfer to another professor?"
"No." Gu Nianzhi instinctively objected. She looked up and saw Huo Shaoheng's silent gaze. Her heart skipped a beat. She knew she had fallen into Huo Shaoheng's trap.
Huo Shaoheng quietly withdrew his hand and put on a business-like expression. He said calmly, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. She knew she couldn't hide it anymore.
After struggling for a while, she stammered, "… Once, he lost his temper at me and almost strangled me. He said he couldn't find me … It wasn't his fault … He'd been looking for me for so many years …"
Huo Shaoheng sat up almost immediately and pulled Gu Nianzhi out of the blankets. His expression changed. "What did you say? He really said that to you? When did this happen?! "
Gu Nianzhi was frightened by Huo Shaoheng's gaze. She quickly said, "It wasn't that long ago. It was when the semester started."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Huo Shaoheng's voice became lower and lower. His eyes were dark and his expression was dark. It was like the sky was about to storm. It was full of oppressive pressure.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and glanced at Huo Shaoheng. She looked down and twisted her fingers. "I didn't think much of it … I thought he took the wrong medicine and went crazy …"
Huo Shaoheng didn't know what to say.
He Zhichu had already exposed so many flaws, but this little girl pretended she didn't exist. She didn't even tell him.
If Yin Shixiong hadn't suggested starting with Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng didn't know how much more important information Gu Nianzhi would have hidden.
"From now on, whatever He Zhichu says or does to you, you have to write it down and send it to me every day. Do you understand?" Huo Shaoheng gave her an order. He treated her like she was his soldier, and he never disobeyed.
Gu Nianzhi blinked. She was a bit reluctant. "But I'm his student. Do I have to write down the contents of his classes?"
"Don't interrupt me. You know what I'm talking about." Huo Shaoheng stood up from the bed. His eyes were stern. "Don't let me know you're hiding this information again."
He looked at Gu Nianzhi. "Go to bed early. I'm leaving now."
Huo Shaoheng strode out. He didn't return to his suite across the street. Instead, he went straight to the office building.
Zhao Liangze, who was on duty, saw him and asked in surprise, "Huo Shao, why are you back? What's the matter? "
Huo Shaoheng walked past his desk without looking back. "Come to my office."
Zhao Liangze quickly followed him in.
He closed the office door and went to Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, what are your orders?"
"Monitor He Zhichu. From now on, don't miss a single second." Huo Shaoheng sat behind his desk. His expression had already returned to normal.
Zhao Liangze couldn't see anything wrong with his expression. He could only accept the order. "Yes, Chief!"
He returned to his seat and opened the surveillance program. He began to search for information about He Zhichu's phone, as well as his landline number and IP address. He then installed the Trojan horse program he used. That way, he would be able to control all information about He Zhichu's external contacts.
He knew his program well. It was highly confidential. Even monitoring the phone of an important CIA person would be a piece of cake. It wouldn't leave a single trace.
…
Late at night, He Zhichu didn't sleep. He sat alone on the single-seater sofa in his bedroom. He held a glass of red wine and was about to drink.
The bedroom lights were off. His face was hidden in the darkness. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
In the silence of the night, the phone suddenly made a soft "ding" sound.
He Zhichu lazily took the phone and glanced at it. It was a notification that a Trojan horse had invaded his phone. He sneered. "… They're actually monitoring me. What a joke."
