He Zhichu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The moonlight shone in, outlining his handsome silhouette.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets and silently watched Huo Shaoheng wake Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was sleeping so soundly that Huo Shaoheng couldn't wake her up at all.
He called her a few times, but she still hadn't woken up. In the end, he had no choice but to remove the blanket covering her head and carry her up from the sofa.
Gu Nianzhi was finally alarmed by the loud noise of flying into the air.
She opened her eyes to take a look, and immediately fell asleep again.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at He Zhichu, "Professor He, what did you say to Nianzhi? Did you hypnotize her?"
"Hypnotize? Mr. Huo, you think too highly of me. I'm not that good. "
He Zhichu's mood improved when he saw Huo Shaoheng trying to control his anger. "Mr. Huo, I think you can understand how I feel."
He stood proudly in front of the window and looked at Gu Nianzhi's face before quickly looking away to the antique plum vase in the corner of the room. "It's getting late. Please take Nianzhi back to her dorm, Mr. Huo. Remember to close the door when you leave. "
He Zhichu finished speaking and walked back to his bedroom without looking back. He slammed the door shut.
Zhao Liangze didn't even dare to breathe as he followed Huo Shaoheng out of the room and carefully closed the door for He Zhichu.
The two of them took Gu Nianzhi to the elevator. Zhao Liangze hesitated before reminding him, "Huo Shao, it's not good to take Nianzhi back to her dorm like this, right?"
He couldn't just carry her back like this …
Huo Shaoheng seemed to have thought of this as well. He hesitated for a while before finally putting Gu Nianzhi down.
Gu Nianzhi was practically hanging on Huo Shaoheng. Her legs were wobbling and she couldn't stand.
"What happened? Why is she so sleepy? " Huo Shaoheng asked in confusion as he supported Gu Nianzhi's waist with one hand to let her lean against his side.
Zhao Liangze stared at the sound asleep Gu Nianzhi for a while before saying, "She already said she was sleepy around 9. Maybe she's really sleepy. Children do like to sleep more when they're growing. "
"…"
Zhao Liangze's words sounded strange, but he didn't respond. He half-supported and half-carried Gu Nianzhi out of the elevator of the professor's building.
After getting into the car, Yin Shixiong, who was waiting in the car, turned around and scratched his head. "Nianzhi's dormitory should be locked at this hour, right?"
"I don't think so. This is a graduate student dormitory. It's different from the undergraduate dormitory." Zhao Liangze checked the management rules of B University's dormitory building. "It's just that the building manager might have some objections. And … I can't carry her in. "
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the sleeping Gu Nianzhi in his arms. "Then wake her up."
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other and got out of the car together. "Mr. Huo, please call us. We'll wait outside."
Even the driver, Fan Jian, got out of the car.
The three of them stood at the front and back of the car, watching their surroundings like bodyguards.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head speechlessly.
What kind of filthy things were these three people thinking about?
He thought about it in a daze for a while. Finally, he held Gu Nianzhi's wrist and moved it upwards. Finally, he pinched the numb spot on her elbow.
The piercing numbness finally made Gu Nianzhi move. She grumbled and squirmed in Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng had to increase his strength and finally, Gu Nianzhi gradually woke up from her deep sleep.
She moved her arm slowly and murmured, "… Professor He … It hurts …"
"You're awake?" Huo Shaoheng pulled her arm and rubbed it. "You won't wake up if I don't pinch you. Did you take the wrong medicine? You slept so soundly at He Zhichu's place. "
Gu Nianzhi blinked and realized that the person in front of her was actually Huo Shaoheng and not He Zhichu.
She sat up in a daze and looked around. She realized that she wasn't in He Zhichu's living room either. She was in the car.
"Huo Shaoheng, why are you here? Didn't you abandon me and go to the meeting? "She complained softly and snuggled into Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng didn't push her away or hug her. He only asked, "What did He Zhichu say to you? Why did you fall asleep at his place? "
Gu Nianzhi frowned and thought about it. She murmured, "… Professor He showed me the doll. Then I tried to remember what happened before I was 12, but I couldn't remember anything. My head hurt like hell. I thought I was going to die. Then I fainted from the pain."
She propped herself up and looked at Huo Shaoheng. "Then when I opened my eyes, I saw Huo Shaoheng …"
Huo Shaoheng pinched her delicate little nose. "You fell asleep from looking at a doll? Were you hypnotized by him? "
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi denied it. "I remember it very clearly. My head hurt so badly that it felt like it was going to split open. I've never had such intense pain before. The pain I experienced before paled in comparison to this time."
"Is that so?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. "What kind of doll was it? What could make you react so strongly to it? "
"… It was the batch of dolls that Huo Shaoheng custom-made for me. It was exactly the same as the one in my photo." Gu Nianzhi said angrily. "It also looked a bit like Wen Shouyi."
She couldn't understand why she would like a doll that looked like Wen Shouyi when she was a child …
"He Zhichu showed you a doll that looked exactly like the one in your photo?" Huo Shaoheng's brows furrowed slightly. "You didn't ask him where he got it?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I asked, but he told me to think about it myself. Then I became like this …"
She pointed to her head. "I really think I might never regain my memory again."
Huo Shaoheng looked at her deeply. "Let's go back to the dormitory first. I'll take you to Chen Lie's place for a checkup next weekend. We'll see what's going on."
"Ok." Gu Nianzhi rested her head on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder and whispered, "Huo Shaoheng, how I wished you could stay with me just now …"
Huo Shaoheng turned his body to allow Gu Nianzhi to snuggle closer, but he didn't let go. He said calmly, "There's a special military meeting today. I can't stay."
Gu Nianzhi was a bit unhappy, but she knew it wasn't Huo Shaoheng's fault, so she was even more unhappy.
She knew she shouldn't be feeling this way, but she just couldn't control herself.
Luckily, she didn't say anything when she was unhappy. Although Huo Shaoheng sensed it, it was too late now. He couldn't comfort her anymore, so he sent her back to the dormitory.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door to her dormitory to see that Ma Qiqi was already asleep. Her room was dark.
The living room was still the same as when she left it. It was a bit messy, and the cushions on the sofa were all over the place. The few small stools in the room were overturned in the corner.
Gu Nianzhi sighed and walked straight through the messy living room to enter her room.
Huo Shaoheng watched from downstairs as the lights in Gu Nianzhi's room came on. He saw the text she sent him: "Goodnight." He then ordered Fan Jian in the front seat, "Drive."
This meant they were going back.
Fan Jian started the car and drove out of B University.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze didn't say a word in the car.
It wasn't until they returned to the headquarters that they heard Huo Shaoheng say to them, "You guys ask South America how the investigation is going. Since they're so powerful, don't tell me they can't find anything. "
Both of them felt Huo Shaoheng was actually a bit irritated, which was rare.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other and agreed in unison.
…
The next day was Monday, and Gu Nianzhi had morning classes.
She got up early to buy breakfast and put it on the table before heading out.
She was going to class at He Zhichu's suite in the professor's building.
As soon as she entered the elevator, she saw her senior, who was also her counselor, Gui Suyao, run over. "Wait for the elevator! Wait for the elevator! "

From now on, the next three chapters will be released on a fixed schedule. I'm boarding the plane tonight.
I really don't have time lately, so I'd rather write less than make up for the word count. O(∩_∩)O~。
