Mei Xiawen was focused on driving and couldn't help but shiver when he heard Gu Nianzhi's lazy "Hello". Her voice was so sweet he felt like his ears were about to melt.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the cigarette between his fingers. His voice was even deeper than usual and had an indescribable magnetism that could suck a person's heart in. He slowly called out her name, "… Nianzhi."
Gu Nianzhi sat up straight in surprise, "Uncle Huo?"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng responded dryly.
"Uncle Huo, you're not busy anymore?"
"I just finished."
"When are you coming back, Uncle Huo?" Gu Nianzhi asked quietly, her expression soft and delicate.
Only Huo Shaoheng could make her completely let down her guard.
If there was one person in this world that she could completely trust and rely on, it could only be Huo Shaoheng.
Mei Xiawen couldn't help but look back at her.
He never knew her voice could be so soft. Mei Xiawen felt his body heat up …
Gu Nianzhi's entire attention was focused on her phone.
From the moment she received Huo Shaoheng's call, the night was no longer lonely, and she was no longer alone.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi also knew that this feeling had nothing to do with Huo Shaoheng himself. She was just secretly using him as her spiritual sustenance.
Just like religious people, Huo Shaoheng was her religion.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know what to say.
He wasn't good with words and wasn't very patient. He always acted more than he spoke.
After a moment of silence, Gu Nianzhi's soft breathing came through the earpiece. He could almost hear her heartbeat.
Gu Nianzhi was also very nervous. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly when Huo Shaoheng didn't speak. However, the longer she held her breath, the faster her heart beat.
If Chen Lie were to take her vital signs right now, he would tell her that she was suffering from a high level of hypoxia and the body's self-defense mechanism had activated automatically …
Mei Xiawen was driving and didn't hear Gu Nianzhi speak for a long time. He thought she had finished her call and asked casually, "Is that your guardian?"
Huo Shaoheng heard Mei Xiawen's voice over the phone and opened the study door to walk downstairs. He asked casually, "… Where are you? Who's talking? "
Gu Nianzhi slowly exhaled and relaxed her stiff body. She leaned back in the car seat and watched the flashing lights outside the window. She chuckled. "It's my classmate. He's the class rep at the university. I'm in his car. He's taking me back to school."
With the chatterbox open, the rest was much easier.
Huo Shaoheng grunted and continued to ask, "What did you do this week?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to put down the phone in the first place, so she immediately told Huo Shaoheng everything that had happened at school, in the dormitory, and even about her interview. She told him everything in detail.
She had always been articulate, or she would not have thought of studying law.
As usual, Huo Shaoheng grunted occasionally to indicate that he was listening.
Gu Nianzhi spoke like this the entire way, and when she looked up, she was already downstairs.
Time passed so quickly …
Gu Nianzhi thought happily as she got out of the car with her backpack and suitcase.
Mei Xiawen offered to help her carry it up, but she firmly refused.
Huo Shaoheng was still on the phone, and Gu Nianzhi didn't have time to say anything more to Mei Xiawen. She turned to enter the dormitory building.
Gu Nianzhi got up to walk upstairs when she heard Huo Shaoheng say over the phone, "Nianzhi, Chen Lie told me about you looking for a boyfriend."
Gu Nianzhi's face turned as red as a honey apple. She was about to explain that she wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but that someone was pursuing her. Huo Shaoheng said, "… I don't mind."
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a long time before smiling. "Ok." She then hung up.
She stopped and looked up to see that she was standing at the dormitory door.
So Huo Shaoheng had actually called her the entire way.
She barely spoke to Mei Xiawen in the car, and really treated him like a chauffeur.
How rude. She needed to thank him properly tomorrow.
Gu Nianzhi pushed the door, but it didn't open. It was still locked, so the other three hadn't returned yet.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to take out her keys to open the door.
She turned on the lights and saw the empty room. There were two bunk beds, four desks, and four wardrobes. Her lips curved into a smile.
The call she had been looking forward to for so many days had finally come. To her, it was like the other shoe had finally fallen on the ground.
From now on, she had to get used to living alone.
Gu Nianzhi put down her backpack and suitcase and began to organize her things.
She had already showered when she returned. She only went to the bathroom to wash her face again and put on a face mask before turning on her laptop to continue writing her thesis.
…
The Special Operations Forces personnel who were secretly protecting Gu Nianzhi drove her the entire way, and occasionally contacted the base's communication system.
Before Zhao Liangze went to bed, he opened his computer's tracking and monitoring system to see that Huo Shaoheng had been talking to Gu Nianzhi the entire time.
He lightly clicked the mouse, and a map of C City quickly appeared on the computer screen.
The little red dot representing Gu Nianzhi's position kept moving, and was almost at the entrance of C University.
This meant that Gu Nianzhi was talking to Huo Shaoheng on the phone.
"What the hell?" Zhao Liangze smacked the mouse and muttered to himself, "How could this be? Did something happen to Nianzhi? "
No one knew better than Zhao Liangze how busy someone in a high position like Huo Shaoheng was.
However, the busy Major General Huo had taken the precious time of a Sunday night to call Gu Nianzhi. It had been almost half an hour.
Zhao Liangze couldn't help but call Yin Shixiong on the internal line. "Big Xiong, what's up with Nianzhi?"
Yin Shixiong was already asleep, and groggily awoken by Zhao Liangze. He closed his eyes and said, "Nothing. Nothing's happened to Nianzhi recently. "
If something had happened, how could he not know?
He was actually in charge of Gu Nianzhi's affairs.
Zhao Liangze scratched his head and looked at the little red dot on the computer screen. It had already reached the entrance of C University.
The line on Huo Shaoheng's end was still "busy."
"… Why does Huo Shao keep calling Nianzhi? It's so late, Nianzhi should be on the bus back to campus. "Zhao Liangze stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully.
Yin Shixiong had taken care of Gu Nianzhi for so many years, so he knew better than Zhao Liangze how much Huo Shaoheng valued Gu Nianzhi.
He yawned and said nonchalantly, "You still don't get it? Huo Shao is worried about Nianzhi going back to campus alone in the middle of the night, so he keeps calling to keep her company. If anything happens, Huo Shao can immediately dispatch people without waiting for anyone to report. "
Zhao Liangze was speechless.
A thought flashed through his mind for a while, but he suppressed it and smiled. "That's good. I was worried something would happen. You go to sleep, I'll sleep too. "
There were people on duty at the base anyway.
He could sleep without worry for 24 hours.
Late at night, the base of the Special Operations Forces in C City was quiet and peaceful.
Huo Shaoheng stood under the night sky and looked up at the sky full of stars. He was finally relieved.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked unhurriedly back to the small building he lived in.
