"She's grown up and has to learn to be independent. She can't rely on others anymore."
Huo Shaoheng usually didn't explain himself, but he made an exception this time.
He turned a corner and walked towards Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
Zhao Liangze followed behind and continued to express his dissatisfaction. "You're right. But can you not be so simple and crude? She's not like me and Big Xiong who can be beaten up and shameless. She's also not a Special Forces soldier! She'll cry if you don't want to see her like that, okay?! "
"I have plans. You don't have to worry." Huo Shaoheng said nonchalantly. He stopped in front of Gu Nianzhi's bedroom and turned to glance at Zhao Liangze.
Although he was expressionless, his eyes were like the latest laser weapons developed by the Imperial Army. One look and countless people would die …
Zhao Liangze shrank back in fear and muttered unwillingly, "But Nianzhi is very timid. She was so scared that she lost her memory … Aren't you afraid she'll be scared again and forget about you?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't answer this hypothetical question at all. His eyes swept across Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
The little girl's bedroom was very clean and tidy.
A large, comfortable bed was covered with 1,800 cream-colored, bamboo-patterned Egyptian cotton sheets.
There were a few dolls at the head of the bed. They were dressed in a misty pink and purple princess dress, with thick bangs, long and narrow eyes, silver plate-like faces, and plump figures. They looked like little girls who had walked out of ancient paintings. They were not the common western dolls, but the dolls with the ancient characteristics of the Empire. Reading Books
An expert would know that these dolls weren't available on the market. They were custom-made.
Huo Shaoheng's mind flashed to the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi hugging these dolls tightly.
He was as busy with work then as he was now and couldn't be with her every day. She would break down as soon as she couldn't see him.
Later, Chen Lie suggested that according to child psychology, giving her something she was familiar with should ease her nervousness.
These dolls were the ones Gu Nianzhi had hugged in the photo. They should be things she was familiar with.
So they made her a batch of dolls based on the ones in the photo …
"Have you seen this room?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at the dolls and turned to look at Zhao Liangze. "Take everything that belongs to me."
"This is Nianzhi's bedroom. How could your things be here?!" Zhao Liangze resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and stood tall and straight. He said expressionlessly, "This is a military order."
Zhao Liangze was tongue-tied and had no choice but to answer loudly, "Yes, Chief!"
Military orders must be obeyed. How could he dare to argue?
But this was Gu Nianzhi's bedroom. Was it okay to let the orderlies search it?
Zhao Liangze was hesitating when he heard Huo Shaoheng say slowly, "… We can't leave any traces."
Zhao Liangze sighed. He'd better do it himself.
Since he had to search the house without letting anyone discover any traces of the search, he could only rely on this unfortunate personal secretary who was exceptionally meticulous and capable. Want to Read
Zhao Liangze coughed and walked in with his head held high.
There were actually very few things in Gu Nianzhi's bedroom and it was very organized.
Zhao Liangze carefully looked around the room. He even looked in the small cupboard in the bathroom where she kept her things. He didn't see anything that belonged to Huo Shaoheng.
"Pfft … What an idiot … Why would there be a man's things in a little girl's bedroom …" Zhao Liangze kept cursing Huo Shaoheng in his mind as he walked out of the bathroom.
He looked up to see Huo Shaoheng sitting on Gu Nianzhi's bed. He quickly put his feet together and said loudly, "Chief! There's nothing for you in this room! "
"You looked everywhere?" Huo Shaoheng looked up at Zhao Liangze. "Everywhere? You didn't miss a single inch? "
Zhao Liangze scratched his head. Had he missed something?
Usually, when Huo Shaoheng asked questions like this, it was when he caught them making a mistake.
Zhao Liangze pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak.
Huo Shaoheng looked at him and reached under Gu Nianzhi's pillow to pull out a black T-shirt. He waved it at Zhao Liangze. "What is this?"
Zhao Liangze's eyes bulged!
What was going on?!
Why was there a men's T-shirt under Gu Nianzhi's pillow?!
Huo Shaoheng didn't understand why his T-shirt was there either. Of course, he also didn't understand why he had lifted Gu Nianzhi's pillow …
"Take it." Huo Shaoheng threw the large black T-shirt at Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze wanted to be brave and argue, "How did you know this was your T-shirt? Are you the only person in the world who wears a black T-shirt like this?! "
But when he looked closely at the logo on the T-shirt, Zhao Liangze could only shut up.
The black T-shirt really was Huo Shaoheng's.
This was a uniform issued by the military. With Huo Shaoheng's rank, all of his items had special numbers …
Zhao Liangze rubbed his nose and had no choice but to search Gu Nianzhi's closet again.
Huo Shaoheng got up and went back to his study. He opened the safe and put something in it.
Zhao Liangze looked carefully a few times to make sure there were no more of Huo Shaoheng's things. He then secretly called Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, why is Huo Shaoheng's T-shirt under your pillow?"
Gu Nianzhi was waiting to eat in the cafeteria. "Oh? That's my pajamas! Where else would I put it? "
"You used Huo Shaoheng's T-shirt to make pajamas?!" Zhao Liangze was even more shocked. "No way? Huo Shaoheng didn't even prepare pajamas for you?! "
Gu Nianzhi blushed. "Brother Ze, don't make a fuss … It's not what you think."
"What am I thinking?" Zhao Liangze shoved the T-shirt into the suitcase. "I'm going to ask Big Xiong how he takes care of you. Huo Shaoheng is busy, but he's not! "
Gu Nianzhi quickly covered her phone and turned to the window. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Ze, you misunderstood. I like to use men's T-shirts as pajamas. They're cotton, breathable, and comfortable. I've been wearing them since I was 12. I'm used to it."
Gu Nianzhi's words were half-truths.
The truth was that no one had prepared pajamas for her when she first moved in with Huo Shaoheng. Huo Shaoheng was a man, and he wasn't as attentive and thoughtful as a woman. To save trouble, he simply tossed her a brand new black T-shirt from the Special Operations Forces as pajamas.
She wasn't used to it at first, but she liked it after wearing it for a while.
Other than the one under the pillow in the apartment, she also secretly hid three or four brand new black T-shirts that the military later distributed to Huo Shaoheng to change into.
Huo Shaoheng probably didn't remember these things anymore.
In the past two years, Gu Nianzhi had never appeared in front of Huo Shaoheng in her pajamas.
Huo Shaoheng also never went to her bedroom.
Zhao Liangze said, "Oh." He was confused. "Is it really that comfortable? Why don't I feel like … "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Why don't you try it and you'll know?" She suddenly realized something. "Huh? How did you know I had pajamas under my pillow?! "
Zhao Liangze chuckled and quickly closed the box in his hands. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "I still have something to do. Talk to you later." He hung up.
