Gu Nianzhi turned around and gave Chen Lie a thumbs up while Ye Zitan wasn't looking. She mouthed, "Good luck."
Chen Lie winked at her, his round face a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and followed Ye Zitan out.
The door closed with a bang, and the apartment suddenly became quiet.
Gu Nianzhi stood alone in the empty living room for a while, then ran up and down the apartment to turn on all the lights.
She didn't expect that when the lights were on, she would feel even more lonely. It was as if every light was showing how empty the spacious apartment was.
…
At the same time, at the C City airport, Wen Shouyi sent an email before boarding the plane back to the Imperial Capital. "Sorry, you messed with someone you shouldn't have. Our boss won't take your case …"
Wen Shouyi turned off her phone and walked to the special passage for the first-class cabin.
After boarding the plane, Wen Shouyi entered the first-class cabin and saw He Zhichu sitting in the spacious first-class seat. He tilted his head to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
"Professor He." Wen Shouyi sat down next to him and covered him with a blanket.
He Zhichu didn't say anything. He only tilted his body and quietly closed his eyes to rest.
…
Chen Lie and Ye Zitan returned to the base and bumped into Huo Shaoheng, who had just come out of the training ground.
He saw Chen Lie and Ye Zitan and stopped by the roadside.
"Huo Shao, did you run 10 kilometers cross-country again?" Ye Zitan smiled and waved.
Huo Shaoheng wore a black T-shirt and army green camouflage pants tucked into his army boots. He had a cigarette in his hand, and his tall, broad frame stood under the streetlights. His imposing manner made people want to immediately stand at attention and report to their superiors …
Chen Lie and Ye Zitan stood at attention in unison.
"Didn't you go to Nianzhi's place? How is she? Did she go back to school? "Huo Shaoheng raised his chin to signal for them to be at ease.
Chen Lie shook his head. "Nianzhi is in good health. There's nothing wrong with her for now. She hasn't returned to school yet. She said she'll go back tomorrow morning. "He then added," … She was like this last week. "
Huo Shaoheng took a drag and waved at them.
After Chen Lie and Ye Zitan left, Huo Shaoheng stood under the tree alone, the cigarette flickering between his fingers.
He finished the cigarette in silence before walking to his residence at the Special Operations Forces base.
…
After showering, Gu Nianzhi sat alone on the bay window sill of her apartment. She hugged her little doll and quietly looked at the lights outside the window.
His phone had just been charged. When he turned it on, he saw countless missed calls and messages.
Most of them were from Mei Xiawen.
Gu Nianzhi, who was lonely, felt strange when she saw the missed calls and messages.
This feeling of being missed by another person was very novel.
She looked through the messages one by one.
"Nianzhi, where did you go?"
"Nianzhi, call me back if it's convenient for you."
"Nianzhi, if you can't call me, just text me back."
"… Send me an email. I've been waiting for your reply."
"Nianzhi, we've only been apart for 36 hours and 12 minutes, and I'm already visibly aging. For the first time, I understand what it means to not see each other for one day feels like three years … "
"I'm having dinner with a big family at night. Although there are many people and it's bustling, I feel like I'm lost in a busy city. Those hustle and bustle don't belong to me. I just want to be with you until the end of time … "
"Miss you, miss you, miss you …"
There was nothing else in the last message. It was all her name.
"Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi …"
She didn't know how many times he wrote it.
Resting her chin on the head of the doll in her arms, Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that Mei Xiawen, a rich second generation heir, was also a hipster. Even his text messages were brilliant.
Her fingers rubbed the phone for a long time before she finally made a call.
"Nianzhi? You're back?! " The phone only rang once before Mei Xiawen picked up. It was obvious he'd been waiting for her call.
Gu Nianzhi was a bit touched. She hummed quietly and said softly, "Someone from my family came to take me to the mountains as a guest. The signal there isn't good … "
Mei Xiawen sighed deeply and said as he drove, "I'm on my way back to school now. Do you want me to pick you up and we can go back together?"
There was an obvious smile in his voice. His gloomy mood over the weekend had been lifted by Gu Nianzhi's phone call.
Mei Xiawen's suggestion was too tempting. Gu Nianzhi found she couldn't refuse.
She really didn't want to stay here alone for a night.
In the past, Huo Shaoheng had occasional weekends when he had urgent business matters and couldn't be with her. However, she didn't feel lonely at that time.
She subconsciously believed that regardless of whether he was there or not, he would eventually come back.
But in the past week, she had a feeling that Huo Shaoheng was getting further and further away from her …
Gu Nianzhi only hesitated for ten seconds before saying decisively, "Then is it convenient for you to pick me up?"
She didn't want to be alone here. It was better to go back to the noisy dormitory to get a good night's sleep.
Mei Xiawen was overjoyed. He quickly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Fengya Precinct where Gu Nianzhi lived. He said, "I'll be there in about 20 minutes, so it should be around 10."
Gu Nianzhi jumped off the bay window and smiled. "I'll wait for you at the entrance."
She went to the bathroom for a ten-minute shower and packed her things. She put on her backpack and carried a small suitcase out the door.
…
Huo Shaoheng finished his work in the study and looked at his watch. It was almost 10.
He took out his phone and thought Gu Nianzhi was probably asleep. He didn't call her. Instead, he called the Special Ops personnel secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi.
Since Gu Nianzhi had been in danger two weeks ago, Huo Shaoheng had secretly increased her security level.
Because Huo Shaoheng was her guardian, the personnel secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi were from the Special Ops.
The personnel received Huo Shaoheng's call and whispered, "Miss Gu just came out of the precinct. She's standing at the entrance. She seems to be waiting for someone."
"Who is she waiting for at this hour?" Huo Shaoheng turned on his computer and hovered his mouse over a program. In the end, he moved it away and didn't click on the special program.
The person on the other end was about to say he didn't know when he turned to see a Buick driving over. Mei Xiawen, Gu Nianzhi's class monitor, got out of the car.
The person quickly reported to Huo Shaoheng, "She should be waiting for Miss Gu's class monitor, Mei Xiawen."
Huo Shaoheng hung up and tossed his work phone on the desk. He walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette with one hand. He put on a special multi-function Bluetooth headset and finally dialed Gu Nianzhi's number through an external line.
Gu Nianzhi sat in Mei Xiawen's car and was chatting with him when she suddenly heard her phone ring.
She looked down to see it was Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shao probably wouldn't call at this hour. She thought it must be Zhao Liangze again.
Gu Nianzhi lazily unlocked her phone and said hello.
Her voice was slightly raspy because she hadn't slept in the middle of the night. It had a natural charm to it.
