"Whose past did the priest and temple battle bow and arrow belong to? I like the image of you only belonging to me in the crowd …"
Huo Shaoheng's personal ringtone began to ring. It was one of the more unpopular songs in Jay Chou's repertoire, but the melody was especially charming. Gu Nianzhi especially liked the mood expressed in the song, so after she and Huo Shaoheng got together, she set it as his personal ringtone.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the melodious ringtone. She reflexively took the phone out of her trouser pocket and nimbly swiped the screen with her slender, fair fingers to answer the call.
There was no sound from the other end.
Gu Nianzhi could only hold the phone and say apologetically to He Zhichu, "Professor He, I need to take this outside."
"Can't you just take it here?" He Zhichu raised a brow and asked nonchalantly.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head, "I don't want to disturb Professor He and Qiqi. Isn't that right, Qiqi?" She gave Ma Qiqi a look.
Ma Qiqi understood and quickly waved her hand, "Hurry up and make the call! Don't disturb us! "
Gu Nianzhi nodded slightly and looked at He Zhichu with a casual smile.
He Zhichu had no choice but to stand up and move out of the way to watch Gu Nianzhi walk past him.
Gu Nianzhi arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and stood under a tree. She picked up the phone again and said hello.
But there was no sound from the other end.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone and realized Huo Shaoheng had already hung up.
He couldn't even wait for a little while?
Gu Nianzhi was exasperated. She glared at her phone and had the urge to smash it to the ground. Only by smashing it into pieces would she be able to vent her anger.
…
Huo Shaoheng hung up the moment Gu Nianzhi said, "Professor He, I need to take this outside."
He was a bit surprised that Gu Nianzhi was with He Zhichu at this time.
He looked at his watch and saw it was almost six in the evening. Was it dinner time or had they just eaten?
What were they doing?
Huo Shaoheng played with his phone and thought about it for a while before tossing it aside and opening a tracking app on his computer. He confirmed Gu Nianzhi's location and found she was outside the south gate of B University.
She wasn't even in school at this time.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and quietly connected to the surveillance camera system near Gu Nianzhi's location.
The streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital were all equipped with surveillance cameras, forming a dense network.
However, it was up to everyone to decide whether there were surveillance cameras outside of public places or where to install surveillance cameras. The state agencies could not interfere.
For example, if you wanted to install a surveillance camera in your own house, you could. However, the government had no right to access this part of the footage online. They wouldn't even know if someone had installed a surveillance camera or not.
The situation in B University was the same. This was their private property. If the people in the internal system did not say anything, outsiders would not know that there were surveillance cameras there.
It was all thanks to He Zhichu that Gu Nianzhi knew about the inner workings of B University. That was why she was able to help Huo Shaoheng and the others uncover the truth about Miao Yunxiao and Dou Aiyan.
However, the street outside the south gate of B University was a public area, so Huo Shaoheng had access to the surveillance system there.
On the computer screen, he saw Gu Nianzhi standing under a tree. Behind her was a Hubei restaurant with red lanterns hanging in front. It looked like it had just opened.
Huo Shaoheng could clearly see He Zhichu sitting by the window of the Hubei restaurant.
He Zhichu was staring at Gu Nianzhi through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gu Nianzhi was annoyed that Huo Shaoheng had hung up. However, when she turned to see He Zhichu's concerned expression, she suppressed her annoyance and waved at him with a smile before returning to the restaurant.
Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu chatting and laughing together. He Zhichu even put some food in her bowl.
Huo Shaoheng turned off the screen and stood by the window.
He remembered Yin Shixiong saying that he saw Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu having breakfast together that morning. Now they were even having dinner together. Did that mean they were eating together three times a day?
Huo Shaoheng felt the urge to smoke again.
He had already decided to quit smoking in order to be with Gu Nianzhi. He wanted to have a healthy, beautiful, smart and cute baby with her. But now …
Huo Shaoheng expressionlessly found a pack of cigarettes and walked to the balcony outside to smoke.
…
Gu Nianzhi sat in the Hubei restaurant and continued eating. Although she felt uneasy, she suppressed the urge to call Huo Shaoheng and tried her best not to think about it.
She had a hard time holding it in. If it wasn't for He Zhichu's mocking smile, she wouldn't have impulsively taken out her phone to call him back in order not to embarrass herself in front of him … Ma Qiqi was the happiest.
Ma Qiqi was the happiest eating. She was talkative, and she was having dinner with her idol, Professor He Zhichu. She was so happy she felt like she was about to fly. Her eyebrows danced as she spoke, and she described a very simple matter vividly.
"That day, I heard a few boys indignantly defending a certain case. Although I felt that there were some problems with the case, it wasn't to the extent of what they were saying, so I argued with them. In the end, one of the boys angrily said to me, 'If you were in that person's position one day, wouldn't you want someone to avenge you?'"
Ma Qiqi mimicked the way the boy spoke and furrowed her brows. She even winked from time to time. It was so funny that Gu Nianzhi almost collapsed on the table from laughing.
He Zhichu patted her on the back and poured her another glass of coconut juice.
Ma Qiqi continued, "I was shocked and asked them, 'Do you all put yourselves in that person's position?'"
"They said, 'Of course!'"
"I said, 'But that person got into trouble because of * * *. So you all hope that when something happens to you while * * *, someone will uphold justice for you. Is that what you mean?"
Ma Qiqi returned to the way she spoke. Her eyebrows were raised and lowered, and her expression was full of mockery.
Pfft –!
Gu Nianzhi actually spat out a mouthful of coconut juice. Luckily, Ma Qiqi was sitting across from He Zhichu and not Gu Nianzhi. Otherwise, Ma Qiqi would have spat all over her face.
"Nianzhi! Your aim is pretty good! "Ma Qiqi giggled as she wiped the wet table with a tissue." Keep up the good work! "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at her. "Go away! Don't be sarcastic. Oh right, after you said that, how did the boys respond? "
Ma Qiqi threw the tissue into the trash can and made a very conflicted expression. It was as if she had been constipated for 10 days to half a month. Her expression was sour as she said, "They just looked at me like that and couldn't say anything for a long time!"
"Hahahaha! Qiqi, you can do it! "Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
Ma Qiqi waved her fist and said with a serious expression, "Also, I'm sorry to all the righteous people here. If anything happens to you because of this, I don't care if you've been framed, baited, or deceived by law enforcement, I will never uphold justice for you. You should be thankful that I won't add insult to injury!" Ma Qiqi waved her fist with a serious expression.
Gu Nianzhi finally put her hand down and nodded. "So this is why men and women see things from different angles. Qiqi, from a professional's point of view, your answer is indeed a bit problematic. But hey! We are all people, and people have their own emotions and choices. Even professionals have their own standpoint and what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. There's no need to use a standard to measure things. "
He Zhichu listened quietly for a long time and finally shook his head. "Nianzhi, Qiqi, there's something wrong with both of your explanations. As professionals, you have to be responsible for your own profession. When you appear as a professional, you should forget about your own existence as an independent subject. You represent the fairness and justice of the law. "
Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi instinctively sat up straight as if they were listening to He Zhichu's lecture.
However, He Zhichu had no intention of continuing. He picked up his draft beer and downed it. "Remember the statue of the Goddess of Justice? She was blindfolded and held a sword in one hand and a scale in the other to show that everyone is equal in the face of justice and justice. The Goddess of Justice will not be blinded by her own subjective judgment. "
Ma Qiqi blushed a bit and mumbled, unable to speak.
However, Gu Nianzhi habitually argued and smiled. "That's why we're not the Goddess of Justice. We're just normal law students. Professor He, you're asking too much of us. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough!"
He Zhichu thought about it carefully and realized he couldn't refute Gu Nianzhi's words.
"Fine, you're right." He Zhichu stood up. "I'll excuse myself for a moment."
After he left, Ma Qiqi quietly asked Gu Nianzhi, "How dare you talk back to Professor He. Do you want to die?!"
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and also leaned over to whisper, "This is called putting myself on the edge of death!"
"You're so naughty, Nianzhi! How dare you say Professor He is on the edge of death. I'm going to tell on you! " Ma Qiqi stood up with a smile and extended a hand. "Unless you bribe me with delicious rolling donkey and pea cake!"
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Those boys really asked the wrong question. They should have asked you if you could still swear not to help them with rolling donkey and pea cake as a reward?!"
"Hahahaha! Nianzhi knows me the best! " After Ma Qiqi finished speaking, she heard the sound of a text message coming in. Opening it, she quickly grabbed her backpack and put 100 RMB on the table. "I have something to do, so I have to go now. Help me pay the bill. We'll calculate it when we get back. I'll refund you any overpayment."
When He Zhichu returned, he saw Gu Nianzhi sitting there alone drinking coconut juice. He waved for the waiter to come over. "Another five bottles of freshly squeezed coconut juice to go. Thank you."
Gu Nianzhi stood up in embarrassment. "Professor He, it's okay. I'll just finish this bottle."
"It's fine." He Zhichu gestured for her to leave. "I've already paid the bill. Where's Qiqi?"
"Qiqi had something to do and just left." Gu Nianzhi picked up the 100 RMB Ma Qiqi put down. "Professor He, this is Qiqi's money. Please accept it."
Then she also took out 100 RMB. "Is this enough?"
He Zhichu looked at her with disdain. "Gu Nianzhi, do you need to be so clear with me?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly. "That's a different matter. We can't take advantage of Professor He."
"Your Professor He has a lot of money, so there's no harm in taking advantage of him." A warm hand rested on Gu Nianzhi's shoulder, and a cheerful female voice spoke into Gu Nianzhi's ear.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't used to strangers being so close to her. She instinctively took a step away from He Zhichu and turned her head to see that it was actually Gu Yanran. Standing behind her was Xue Jingjiang, whom she had met several times. He was Huo Shaoheng's childhood friend.
