Gu Nianzhi had been rescued by Huo Shaoheng at the age of 12 and had grown up with him in the Special Operations Forces base. She had no contact with the outside world.
In the beginning, the Special Operations Forces hired private tutors for her to attend school. The tutors discovered that she was exceptionally smart and a genius, so they taught her very diligently.
They only taught her for two years before she took the college entrance exam at the age of 14 and scored an unbelievable high score. She could attend any university in the country and any major.
But at the time, the military was worried and refused to let her appear in public, so she did not leave the base university. Instead, she attended two years of online courses at a prestigious foreign university.
Until two or three years ago, when Huo Shaoheng and the others couldn't find out where Gu Nianzhi came from, they decided to let her go out and interact with society to see if there was a chance.
If someone was looking for her, they would have a direction.
After all, the Huaxia Empire's Special Operations Forces were too well hidden, and Huo Shaoheng was like an iron wall. People from the outside world couldn't get in at all.
But it was different when Gu Nianzhi went out to university.
No matter what, she finally returned to society from the "iron wall" and returned to a place where people could interact with her.
To not be separated from Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi chose a university in C City so she could stay by his side.
It wasn't until she graduated six months ago and became He Zhichu's graduate student that she left C City and came to the Imperial Capital.
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng and the others also moved the Special Operations Forces headquarters to the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, they would have been separated for real.
After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, she kept a close eye on He Zhichu's expression.
He Zhichu looked down at the coffee cup on the coffee table in front of him. His expression was like ice in winter, and she couldn't see anything.
After a while, He Zhichu's eyelashes fluttered twice, and his clear voice slowly came out of his mouth. Like ice falling into spring water, Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt surreal.
"If I said that I had selfish motives, would you believe me?" He Zhichu said dryly, his face still expressionless. He reached for the coffee cup but didn't drink it. He only gently turned it on the tray and made a soft porcelain sound.
Gu Nianzhi fell silent and didn't dare to ask again.
She had finally returned to a normal teacher-student relationship with He Zhichu. She didn't want to ruin it again and make things awkward for both of them.
"Oh? Is that so? Looks like it's just a time difference … "Gu Nianzhi finally managed to change the topic and didn't want to pursue it any further.
He Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief …
Gu Nianzhi's question was actually too sharp. He Zhichu didn't know how to answer her at first, so he could only reveal half of it. If she was willing to listen, he would strike while the iron was hot.
Unfortunately, she wasn't willing to listen, so he wouldn't say it.
It would be fine as long as she didn't dwell on this reason.
A hint of a smile appeared on He Zhichu's cold face. "It's good that you understand. By the way, you took a few days off. Have you finished the homework you missed? "
Gu Nianzhi grimaced at the mention of her homework. "Professor He, can you give me a few more days?"
He Zhichu looked at her without speaking, his eyes dark.
"Two days?"
"One day?" Gu Nianzhi didn't give up trying to bargain.
He Zhichu finally nodded. "One day. I'll give you one day to finish your homework. Also, you have to fulfill your duties as a teaching assistant. "
"That's too much! How am I supposed to sleep?! " Gu Nianzhi wanted to scream, but she couldn't bear to give up being a teaching assistant because the salary was really high …
Seeing her bank account accumulating every month, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Then how about you quit being a teaching assistant and I'll find someone else." He Zhichu was certain that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't give up the job, so he took a step back in order to advance.
Gu Nianzhi objected as expected. She said seriously, "Professor He, don't worry. I'll definitely finish my homework and do my job as a teaching assistant."
"Ok, I'll wait and see." He Zhichu finished the instant coffee Gu Nianzhi made for him in one gulp.
It tasted terrible.
He Zhichu put the coffee cup back on the coffee table with a look of disgust.
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and stood up to say goodbye to He Zhichu. "Professor He, I'll be going now."
He Zhichu nodded and felt his phone vibrate. Taking it out, he saw it was Gu Yanran calling. He hung up nonchalantly and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Hurry up and finish your homework. Do your job as a teaching assistant. I'll check tomorrow."
He Zhichu only answered Gu Yanran's call after Gu Nianzhi left.
"Mr. He, you asked me for the contact information of Nianzhi and my family doctor and dentist when we were young. Were you trying to confirm Nianzhi's identity?" Gu Yanran asked bluntly over the phone, not beating around the bush at all.
He Zhichu knew that Gu Yanran would ask him, so he agreed. "Congratulations, you found your sister."
"Mr. He, you probably already knew, right? Why didn't you tell me earlier? "Gu Yanran stood in front of the French windows in her villa, her emotions a mess.
This matter was too inconceivable to her. She had been in a daze ever since she had verified it.
Only later did she remember to call He Zhichu first.
If she guessed correctly, He Zhichu was the reason why Huo Shaoheng was able to obtain evidence to prove Gu Nianzhi's identity.
That was because the records of the family doctor and dentist coincided with He Zhichu asking for the contact information of her family doctor and dentist not long ago.
"I didn't know much earlier. Just like you, I didn't even think she was your sister at first," He Zhichu said slowly. The smile on his lips wasn't genuine. Fortunately, Gu Yanran couldn't see it. If she could, she would definitely explode.
He Zhichu also walked to the window and looked down from the 28th floor. The people and cars passing by were like ants. He couldn't tell which one was Gu Nianzhi. He said dryly, "It wasn't until later that I thought I could use Nianzhi's childhood family doctor and dentist records to confirm it, that I asked you for the contact information."
"Then it's a coincidence?" Gu Yanran held it in for a long time before saying, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"It is. You have no choice but to believe it." He Zhichu's smile had a hint of mockery. "So? Miss Gu, have you thought about taking your sister home? "
"Home?" Gu Yanran paused. A trace of emotion flashed through her heart. She smiled slowly. "Now that it's confirmed that she's my sister, of course she has to go home. She's the daughter of the Gu family, of course she has to go back to the Gu family. "
"Yes, she's already a citizen of the Huaxia Empire." He Zhichu reminded her as if he wanted to see the world in chaos. "If your home is still in Barbados, I'm afraid she won't go back with you."
Gu Yanran choked. "Got it. I'll talk to her first."
Gu Yanran looked down at the photo in her hand in frustration. She walked back to put the photo back in the frame and carefully placed it in her YSL handbag.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to her dorm and saw Ma Qiqi sitting at the dining table eating as soon as she entered.
Ma Qiqi froze for a second when she saw her come in. Then she let out an earth-shattering scream and pounced on Gu Nianzhi. She grabbed Gu Nianzhi's shoulders and looked her over. Laughing, she said, "Nianzhi! You still know to come back! They all said you transferred schools! "
"No way? It's only been a few days? How can this kind of rumor spread? " Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at Ma Qiqi with amusement. "Tell me who spread the rumor, and I promise I won't beat them to death!"
"Hehe … Beat them to death? You're so small, you can't even beat me …" Ma Qiqi laughed and teased Gu Nianzhi for a while before letting her go. "Okay, I'll stop teasing you. You've been out for a few days, so you must be very tired. I can see that you've lost so much weight that your chin is pointy."
Ma Qiqi's slender fingers tapped Gu Nianzhi's delicate chin. "See, I can't help but feel sorry for you."
"Come on, you only know how to use idioms." Gu Nianzhi snickered and pushed Ma Qiqi's hand away. "Hurry up and go to class. I have to catch up on my homework. Professor He only gave me one day. I have to stay awake for 24 hours to finish everything. "
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore." Ma Qiqi tactfully let go of her. "I'm going to the library. I'll treat you to dinner tonight?"
"No, the day after tomorrow. I have to work like crazy today and tomorrow. "Gu Nianzhi made an" OK "gesture." Okay, I appreciate it. "
Ma Qiqi nodded. "Then I'll leave you to it. I'll be going now."
Returning to her room to pack her bag, Ma Qiqi went to the library to study. Gu Nianzhi was alone in the dorm and began to catch up on her homework.
Her phone rang a few times, but she heard it was a stranger's ringtone, so she didn't answer.
In her phone, Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu both had their own exclusive ringtones. Other than them, other acquaintances had another ringtone that could be used. There was also a built-in ringtone that was prepared for strangers to call.
She lost track of time when she was so busy that her stomach was rumbling. She was going to faint if she didn't eat, so she stood up to call for takeout.
Glancing at her phone, she saw that there were a few missed calls from strangers. Her phone showed that it was already nine o 'clock at night.
She had returned to the dorm at noon and had been working on her thesis without eating or drinking. Nine hours had passed in one go.
No wonder her neck was cramping.
Rubbing her neck, Gu Nianzhi looked at the stranger's number and pressed the button to return the call.
Someone quickly picked up.
"May I ask if this is Miss Gu Nianzhi?" The voice sounded familiar.
Gu Nianzhi froze and asked tentatively, "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Gu Yanran, your sister. Have you forgotten already?" Gu Yanran's crisp laughter traveled over the phone. Gu Nianzhi sighed.
Pressing her hand to her chest to calm herself, Gu Nianzhi adjusted her tone and asked calmly, "Miss Gu, you're already in the Imperial Capital?"
The number displayed on the phone was a local number in the Imperial Capital, so she was certain that Gu Yanran had already arrived in the Huaxia Empire.
It had only been … two days?
Gu Yanran nodded with a smile. "Yes, I just arrived this morning. I was anxious to find you, but why didn't you pick up?"
