Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arms. Her porcelain white and delicate skin was slightly flushed. Her eyes were bright like water, and they were full of life.
Every inch of her face and expression had long been engraved in the depths of his heart. They were incomparably familiar.
"I'll call you when I'm free in the future." Huo Shaoheng gave in again because he subconsciously didn't want to see Gu Nianzhi frowning and unhappy.
"Then remember. Don't forget." Gu Nianzhi pouted her small, plump lips and looked up at Huo Shaoheng. Her eyes were filled with his figure. "I think our classmates in long-distance relationships want nothing more than to live on their phones. You haven't even called me once in the past few days."
So that was the reason.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How could he be on the phone all day like her classmates?
"It's impossible to call every day," Huo Shaoheng said calmly and patted Gu Nianzhi's head. "I'll try to call when I'm free. Okay, stop fooling around. Let's go eat. "
He naturally held her hand and walked out of the small room.
Gu Nianzhi sighed. She felt that Huo Shaoheng still didn't understand what she meant.
"Huo Shao, I'm not asking you to call every day." She frowned, and her expression was a little depressed. "But when you love someone, don't you want to see them more, listen to their voice, and even spend more time with them?"
For example, she wanted nothing more than to stick to Huo Shaoheng every day. Unfortunately, she wasn't a child anymore. Back then, she could ignore everything and follow Huo Shaoheng every day and be his leg pendant.
Now that she was older, she would be a joke if she continued to be like this.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "Okay, I understand."
He still held her hand and walked with her into the large single room.
There was a long table in the middle of the room with all kinds of exquisite dishes and a few bottles of sake.
Gu Yanran, Zhao Liangze, and Yin Shixiong were already sitting at the table and chatting happily.
She looked up to see Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi walk in hand in hand. Huo Shaoheng's expression was normal, but Gu Nianzhi's expression was a bit ugly.
However, after entering, she smiled faintly and sat next to Gu Yanran with Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong.
Huo Shaoheng knew that his girl was throwing a tantrum, so he didn't mind and sat on the other side of her.
Only then did Gu Nianzhi reveal a hint of joy, and the gloominess in her eyes was no longer so obvious.
Huo Shaoheng took the serving chopsticks and picked up some of Gu Nianzhi's favorite dishes: shrimp tempura, pork rolls in ginger sauce, and a tender piece of wagyu steak. He placed it on her plate, which was decorated with carps.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the tempura prawns on the other side of the table. "I want that too."
Huo Shaoheng reached out with his long arm and placed a few on her small plate. "Eat less fried food. It's not healthy."
Tempura had a nice name, but it was actually a fried food.
Gu Nianzhi ignored him and happily ate.
Gu Yanran saw it and quickly said, "Then eat less. Nianzhi, Mr. Huo already said it, why are you still eating? "
"I rarely eat fried food. It's fine if I eat it once in a while today, right?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng, then at Gu Yanran. She felt that both of them were controlling her.
Yin Shixiong quickly helped her out and winked at her. "Of course it's fine if you eat it once in a while. Also, our Nianzhi is a natural beauty. She won't get pimples or gain weight no matter how much fried junk food she eats! "
He really had to rub it in …
Gu Nianzhi had been anxious for the past few days, so she did have a small pimple on her forehead.
The delicious shrimp tempura instantly changed its taste in her mouth and tasted like wax.
She swallowed it with all her might and didn't touch the tempura on her plate again. She only ate the wagyu steak. Huo Shaoheng gave her two sweet potato, glutinous rice, and red bean pastries to fill her stomach.
Gu Yanran took a sip of sake. Her face was bright red, and her eyes were rippling like water. She watched Huo Shaoheng continuously pick food for Gu Nianzhi and smiled. "Why aren't you eating, Mr. Huo? Is it not to your taste? "
"Yeah, I'm eating." Huo Shaoheng had a piece of wagyu steak in front of him. He ate two bites before putting it down.
Although wagyu was known as the best beef in the world, Huo Shaoheng just didn't like it.
Gu Yanran then said to Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, you're also half the host. Don't just eat by yourself. Help Mr. Huo get food too. Mr. Huo has already gotten you a lot. "
Gu Nianzhi looked up. "How am I half the host? Am I not a guest today? Sister, didn't you say you were treating me today? "
"But you're my sister, so of course you're also half the host." Gu Yanran said as she used serving chopsticks to pick up another piece of wagyu steak for Huo Shaoheng. "Everyone eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
"Thank you." Huo Shaoheng nodded and used a knife to cut the steak into small pieces. He ate it slowly.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "We're all friends now. Sister doesn't have to keep calling him Mr. Huo, right? It sounds so unfamiliar. "
"Ok, then I'll call him Huo Shao like you do." Gu Yanran immediately changed the way she addressed him.
Of course, calling him Huo Shao was more familiar than calling him Mr. Huo, but it wasn't very intimate because everyone called him that.
Gu Nianzhi was very satisfied with Gu Yanran's reaction. She looked at her with a smile and started eating the sweet potato glutinous rice balls.
Huo Shaoheng was halfway through eating when his phone rang.
He unlocked it and looked at it before standing up. "I'm going out to take a call." With that, he left the room.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong immediately put down their chopsticks and followed him out.
Only Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran were left in the room.
Gu Yanran comforted Gu Nianzhi softly. "Nianzhi, did you fight with Huo Shao? Don't be so hot-tempered … "
"Oh? I didn't … "Gu Nianzhi looked away guiltily. She didn't dare to meet Gu Yanran's eyes.
"You're still denying it? Look at how guilty you look!" Gu Yanran was angry and amused at the same time. She held her wine glass and spaced out for a while. "Huo Shao is such a rare good man. Nianzhi, you have to take advantage of him. Between the two of us, one of us has to be happy. "
Gu Nianzhi was confused and tilted her head to look at Gu Yanran. "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand. "
"You're still young. You'll understand in the future." Gu Yanran downed the wine in her glass. "It's not easy to meet a good man. Once you meet him, don't let him go."
Gu Nianzhi felt even more guilty. She smiled sheepishly and poured wine for Gu Yanran. "What's wrong, Sister? Are you drunk? You're talking nonsense. "
"No, I'm not drunk." Gu Yanran looked at Gu Nianzhi and reached out to lift her chin with a finger. She studied her face for a long time and sighed. "You're so beautiful. Nianzhi, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Yeah, that's what everyone says. I really don't know how ugly I was when I was young!" Gu Nianzhi made an amused expression. Gu Yanran giggled and took out a photo from her handbag. "Here, look at what you looked like when you were young."
Gu Nianzhi took it.
It was a family photo.
A gentle and elegant man and a quiet and gentle woman sat in the middle. There were two girls standing next to them. The older girl was about 16 or 17 years old, and the younger girl was about 11 years old.
The older girl was definitely Gu Yanran, because her current appearance was not much different from when she was 16 or 17 years old. However, the younger girl was definitely Gu Nianzhi from seven years ago!
Gu Nianzhi looked at the little girl in the photo. She looked exactly the same as in the photo of her holding a doll. She immediately sat up straight and asked excitedly with her eyes wide open, "This … Is this our family?"
"Yeah." Gu Yanran looked at her strangely and asked carefully, "This is Mom and Dad. Also, Nianzhi, look, my appearance hasn't changed much, but why didn't you recognize me when you saw me? Is there a reason? "
