Countless emotions rose in Gu Nianzhi's heart. They tumbled, surged, and overlapped in her mind, as if they were about to ferment. However, the fog was always in front of her, and it blocked her way back.
She couldn't remember, she still couldn't remember …
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything from before she was 12 years old …
When she tried hard to remember, the moment she thought of the car accident when she was 12 years old, her head began to ache violently.
But in He Zhichu's presence, she couldn't make a sound. She definitely couldn't.
It was really too painful. It was like someone was holding a hacksaw and cutting into her brain bit by bit.
She could even hear a sizzling sound, which was accompanied by waves of intense pain.
Gu Nianzhi's tolerance for pain was stronger than the average person's, but at this time, she couldn't help it anymore. She covered her head with both hands and curled up on the sofa in the corner, moaning in pain.
He Zhichu was slightly taken aback, but he quickly reacted.
"Nianzhi? You have a headache? Then don't think about it. Don't think about it. Don't think about anything … "
He Zhichu's eyes reddened as he watched Gu Nianzhi's face turn pale. Her hands were cradling her head as if she was spasming. Her entire body was curled up like a shrimp, and she kept twitching on the sofa.
He rushed over and hugged Gu Nianzhi tightly in his arms. His large hand gently stroked her back, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top. It was just like when she was young, snuggling in his arms and watching the blooming epiphyllum with him in the middle of the night.
But now there was no blooming epiphyllum. There was only Gu Nianzhi, who couldn't help but have a severe headache whenever she thought about the past.
He Zhichu's embrace was as hot as Huo Shaoheng's.
Gu Nianzhi was tortured by the severe headache so much that she couldn't think or sense anything outside.
She just wanted to close her eyes and die from the pain.
This kind of torture surpassed any headache she had ever had before. She didn't think she could take it anymore.
What would he do if he died from the pain?
She still had so many things to tell Huo Shaoheng. She still had so many wishes that she hadn't fulfilled. She still wanted to marry Huo Shaoheng and have two children with him. One boy, like Huo Shaoheng, and one girl, like her. Then their family would be intimate for the rest of their lives …
Was this also an extravagant wish?
Gu Nianzhi let out a low sob, then her sobs grew louder and louder. She was actually showing signs of losing control of her emotions.
He Zhichu hugged her even tighter. Lips trembling, he planted a kiss on the top of her head before letting go of her. He rushed to his bedroom to retrieve a medicine bottle and poured out two pills. He pried open Gu Nianzhi's lips and forced them in.
Gu Nianzhi unconsciously swallowed her saliva and swallowed the two pills.
Not long after, the medicine took effect and Gu Nianzhi's pain stopped. She curled up on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
He Zhichu covered Gu Nianzhi with a blanket and put a pillow under her head so she could sleep more comfortably.
Then, he sat back on the single sofa and turned off the ceiling light in the living room, leaving only a floor lamp beside the sofa that emitted a warm yellow light.
He propped his chin on one hand and stared at Gu Nianzhi's sleeping face without moving. It seemed like he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time, Gu Nianzhi's phone rang.
He Zhichu woke up from his thoughts and walked over to look at Gu Nianzhi's phone.
It was Huo Shaoheng calling to check on her.
He Zhichu's lips curled into a mocking smile. He didn't slide open the phone and still answered Huo Shaoheng's call.
"Mr. Huo?"
Huo Shaoheng had just finished his meeting. Two hours had passed, and it was already past 11pm. Gu Nianzhi should have already gone back, but he didn't know if she was asleep or not.
Huo Shaoheng had previously told Gu Nianzhi to call him when she returned to the dormitory, but she hadn't. He didn't know what was going on.
In the end, when he called, the person who answered was He Zhichu.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips tightened, but his voice was still calm and low. "Professor He? Why are you holding Nianzhi's phone? Where's Nianzhi? "
He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the corner. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and smiled mysteriously. "Nianzhi is asleep."
Huo Shaoheng stopped in front of the elevator. His voice became even lower. "Professor He, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. "
"You didn't hear me clearly? Then I'll say it again. Nianzhi is asleep. Do you want to watch a video? " He Zhichu pretended to want to use his phone to take a video, but he couldn't actually unlock Gu Nianzhi's phone, so he couldn't use her phone to take a video. Unless he used his own phone …
"Professor He, where is Nianzhi sleeping? Please wake her up, I have something to ask her. "Huo Shaoheng's expression gradually became serious, and his handsome back became even straighter.
"But she's sleeping so soundly. Do you have the heart to wake her up?" He Zhichu narrowed his shimmering, sultry eyes as he looked at the sleeping Gu Nianzhi.
"Fine, you don't have to wake her up. I'll come over directly." Huo Shaoheng hung up without another word and ordered Zhao Liangze, "Prepare the car. We're going to B University."
Zhao Liangze heard bits and pieces of what Huo Shaoheng said on the phone and knew something was wrong. He quickly agreed and turned on his headset to make an emergency transfer.
Three minutes later, Huo Shaoheng was already in the car on the way to B University.
The driver, Fan Jian, did his best this time. Whether it was taking shortcuts or cutting corners, it was all top-notch. Most importantly, he didn't run a single red light and completely obeyed the traffic rules.
Just like that, they arrived at the south gate of B University in less than 15 minutes.
It was twice as fast as usual.
Huo Shaoheng's car drove straight through the south gate and headed directly to the professor's building where He Zhichu lived.
The car parked below the professor's building, and Huo Shaoheng quickly got out of the car and walked into the building's elevator without a word.
The elevator quickly reached He Zhichu's 28th floor.
Huo Shaoheng didn't make another call and directly pressed the doorbell.
He Zhichu glanced at the video call at the door and saw that it was Huo Shaoheng. He smiled and slowly walked over to open the door. "Mr. Huo, you're so busy every day, yet you've come to my humble home twice today. It's truly an honor."
"Open the door." Huo Shaoheng only had two simple words, but they were powerful.
Opening the door, He Zhichu smoothly turned on the ceiling light in the living room.
The bright white light suddenly slanted down.
Gu Nianzhi, who was sound asleep, subconsciously shivered. She mumbled and turned over to cover her head with the blanket.
Huo Shaoheng almost rushed into the room to see Gu Nianzhi asleep on He Zhichu's sofa.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but the way he looked at He Zhichu was already very unfriendly.
"Professor He, don't you think it's embarrassing to play tricks like this?" Huo Shaoheng said as he walked over and leaned over the sofa to pat Gu Nianzhi's face. "Nianzhi, wake up. It's time to go back."
