Gu Nianzhi nervously sat down on the sofa in the corner.
She stared at the small round coffee table in front of her for a while and realized it was made of frosted glass. She hadn't noticed these details before.
Now that he was so nervous, he even noticed these small details.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally heard He Zhichu's cold voice coming from behind her.
Gu Nianzhi turned around and saw a very familiar thing in He Zhichu's hand.
It was a doll wearing a misty pink and purple princess dress. She had thick bangs, narrow eyes, a face that looked like a silver plate, and a plump body. She looked like a little girl who walked out of an ancient painting. She was not a common western doll, but a doll with the ancient characteristics of the Empire. An expert could tell at a glance that these dolls weren't available on the market, but were custom-made.
These identical dolls had been with Gu Nianzhi since she was 12 years old.
There were several of these dolls in her apartment, scattered on the corner of the bed, the sofa, or in the open bookcase.
She used to really like these dolls. When she first started working for Huo Shaoheng, she had to hug these dolls to sleep at night. Although she still had nightmares, she couldn't sleep without these dolls.
Later, Huo Shaoheng made her undergo military training for three to four years before she gradually stopped needing these dolls to sleep.
However, these dolls were supposed to be the most beautiful memories of Gu Nianzhi's youth. Perhaps they were also the most beautiful memories of her forgotten childhood. But ever since Wen Shouyi appeared, she felt like her youth (childhood) memories had been completely destroyed …
These dolls, without exception, somewhat resembled Wen Shouyi's facial features and demeanor.
Gu Nianzhi's dolls in her room had long been locked away in the cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind.
Now that she saw these dolls in He Zhichu's hands, Gu Nianzhi didn't know what to say.
He Zhichu sighed in relief when he saw Gu Nianzhi's shocked and conflicted expression.
He walked over with the doll and handed it to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, do you still remember this doll?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at the doll in He Zhichu's hands, then back at him. She thought about it for a long time before asking seriously, "Professor He, where did you get this doll?"
As far as she knew, this was the doll she had been holding in her childhood photo. This kind of doll had never been sold in the Hua Xia Empire or any other country.
Huo Shaoheng had gotten someone to custom-make her dolls based on her photo.
Could it be that He Zhichu had also taken it to be custom made?
But how did he know what the doll looked like?
Or did someone from Huo Shaoheng's side leak the secret?
In the blink of an eye, countless possibilities flashed through Gu Nianzhi's mind, but none of them were what He Zhichu had envisioned.
When He Zhichu heard Gu Nianzhi ask all her questions, he was so speechless that he almost threw the doll off the 28th floor.
"… Do you think I stole a doll from you and made it for you?!" He Zhichu sneered and threw the doll onto the sofa. "So you really don't remember anything. Not only do you not remember anything, but you can't tell right from wrong! "
Gu Nianzhi blinked. "Professor He, don't be angry. Can't we talk this out?"
Her heart pounded. She had sensed that He Zhichu might have something to do with her forgotten memories, but now that feeling was even more obvious.
She felt very flustered. Without Huo Shaoheng by her side, she had no backbone. She didn't dare to make her own decisions or judgments, especially when it came to such an important issue related to her past.
But Huo Shaoheng had been here just now, and he had clearly sensed that He Zhichu might have something to do with her forgotten memories. He clearly knew how much she relied on him, but he still left her here and let her face this situation alone …
Deep down, Gu Nianzhi discovered that she actually felt a trace of resentment towards Huo Shaoheng …
No, she had to get rid of that thought as soon as possible.
Gu Nianzhi secretly warned herself that Huo Shao had done enough for her, so she couldn't push her luck. She also couldn't put all the responsibility and burden on Huo Shaoheng.
But how she wished that Huo Shaoheng could be by her side at this time. He was the only person she trusted in the world.
Why did he have to leave?
Why did he have to leave her alone?
Gu Nianzhi struggled between blaming herself and trying her best to pull herself together. She saw He Zhichu's expression grow darker and darker until it was so dark that it actually dissipated. He returned to his usual indifference and politeness.
"Nianzhi, don't you feel that this doll is familiar at all?" He Zhichu had frozen all his emotions in the depths of his heart. Even Gu Nianzhi was isolated by him. At this time, although he was a thousand miles away from people, it couldn't be better for Gu Nianzhi.
It was easier for her to accept He Zhichu like this.
Gu Nianzhi could no longer feel He Zhichu's fluctuating emotions. She also calmed down. She tried not to be emotional and said objectively, "Familiar, of course it's familiar. I have many dolls like this at home. They all wear the same clothes and look exactly the same. If it wasn't for the fact that this doll looks a bit old, I would have thought that Professor He borrowed my doll from Huo Shao. "
"You can still tell that this doll is a bit old. That means your observation skills are indeed very sharp." He Zhichu handed the doll to Gu Nianzhi again. "Look at it again. Look carefully."
Gu Nianzhi hesitantly reached out and finally took the doll from He Zhichu's hands.
She held it in her hands and turned it over to look at it. She discovered that the doll was indeed very old. The misty pinkish-purple princess dress had faded, and the edges of the dress were frayed. It showed that it had probably been rubbed countless times. There was even a layer of abrasion on the doll's cheeks.
After turning the doll over, Gu Nianzhi saw the words "Gu Nianzhi" written crookedly on the back of the doll's neck …
It must have been written with some kind of ink used for tattoos. The ink was deep into the doll's skin. Although so many years had passed, the ink hadn't faded.
Gu Nianzhi stared at the words and even held her breath.
She threw the doll on the sofa like a hot potato and moved far away. She quickly averted her eyes and didn't dare to look at the doll again.
Because that was her handwriting!
She had just copied a copy of the inspection report. Only she would be able to write that kind of crab-like handwriting!
Of course, she couldn't rule out the possibility that someone had deliberately imitated her handwriting.
But why would that person imitate her handwriting and write her name on the doll?
"What's wrong? Why do these three words look familiar? " He Zhichu slowly took out the inspection that Gu Nianzhi had just written and placed it next to the overturned doll on the coffee table. "Doesn't it look like it was written by the same person?"
Gu Nianzhi turned her head and said stubbornly, "… Maybe someone imitated my handwriting? My handwriting isn't some kind of treasure. It's not hard to get it. "
"Yeah, it's not hard to imitate your handwriting, but it's not easy to get your handwriting many years ago and imitate it." He Zhichu's fingers tapped on the coffee table. "Also, why would someone imitate your handwriting? Six years ago, you were only 12 years old and didn't have the ability to be criminally responsible. Even if you were rich, your signature would have no legal effect. "
To put it bluntly, if someone wanted to fake it, they wanted money and power.
If neither was possible, then what was the point?
Was it for a brainless person to do something brainless?
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a moment.
Yes, she was an orphan girl with no money or power.
Even if someone wanted to fake her handwriting, they would have to do it after she was an adult and put in a lot of effort to fake a minor's handwriting. After all, what about her IQ?
Did she not want it anymore?
Gu Nianzhi also felt that her hypothesis didn't hold up, so there was only one possibility. The handwriting on the doll wasn't fake? It was real?
Many years ago, when she was young, she used to hold a pen and solemnly write her name on her favorite doll stroke by stroke to indicate ownership of the doll?
It really did look like the childish things that a brainless little girl would do …
Gu Nianzhi hung her head and didn't speak for a long time.
He Zhichu saw Gu Nianzhi's expression and felt his heart soften for some reason.
He also knew that the doll had a big impact, so he didn't say anything and waited for Gu Nianzhi to digest the results on her own.
