"Wh … Wh … What report?" Gu Nianzhi thought she was hearing things and struggled out of Huo Shaoheng's arms to pick her ears.
However, Huo Shaoheng pressed her against his chest and his voice floated down from above her head. The lights in the car weren't turned on, and the street lamps outside emitted a warm yellow light that made the car even darker. It felt surreal.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. She only wanted to be in a good relationship. Why did they suddenly talk about marriage?!
They hadn't even reached the stage where they were passionately in love and couldn't stop themselves from exchanging their hearts for each other. How did they suddenly jump to the end of their relationship?
The end of love was either a breakup or a happy ending. They both meant the same thing.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed against Huo Shaoheng's chest and hugged his strong waist tightly. She muttered, "Marriage is the grave of love … Huo Shao, are you sure you want us to go to the grave before our love has even bloomed?"
"Nonsense." Huo Shaoheng patted her head. "Where did you get all these sour and twisted theories from?"
"It's true. I've seen psychologists talk about the three stages of love." Gu Nianzhi finally looked up from Huo Shaoheng's arms and looked into his eyes that were as deep as the night sky. She murmured, "The first stage is the ambiguous stage. The second stage is the stage of passionate love. The third stage is the stage of emotional transformation …"
"Emotional transformation?" Huo Shaoheng looked down at her. "What do you mean?"
"It's the transformation from love to love. It could be friendship or family, or it could be nothing." Gu Nianzhi spoke eloquently and drew a hook on Huo Shaoheng's chest with one hand. "There's very little love between a husband and wife. There's more family. The existence of love is short-lived and dazzling. Huo Shao … let me enjoy the sweetness and excitement of love … "
"… You just want to do it a few more times." Huo Shaoheng lifted her chin with one hand and asked calmly, "Is that right?"
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi denied it flatly. She tilted her head and moved her chin away from Huo Shaoheng's fingers. "Huo Shao, I …"
Huo Shaoheng raised a finger and pressed it against her lips, successfully stopping her from continuing.
"Let me finish. I just submitted the marriage application, and the organization is having a meeting to discuss it. They still need to vote on it, and then there will be a background check." Huo Shaoheng explained the entire process in detail for the first time.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned by what she heard.
In the past, she only knew that there was a background check, but now she understood that the background check was an investigation carried out after the marriage was agreed.
If the application was rejected, there would be no need for a background check.
Her big, bright eyes stared at Huo Shaoheng without blinking. Her focused expression was childish and serious.
Huo Shaoheng continued, "According to normal procedures, it may take half a year for the Standing Committee of the Military Supreme Council to discuss and vote on the final decision."
(⊙ o ⊙)
"After the vote is passed, there will be a background check. The process can take anywhere from one to three years." Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. "So you don't have to worry. You're not getting married tomorrow. You can still take your time and continue to enjoy the sweetness of love."
Gu Nianzhi's face heated up, but she didn't want to be suppressed by Huo Shaoheng. She said unhappily, "What's wrong with enjoying love? Huo Shao, how can you slander me? "
"I slander you?"
"Yes, you're saying that I'm pretentious to enjoy love …" Gu Nianzhi glared at Huo Shaoheng, but her big eyes were too watery.
"You've always been pretentious." Huo Shaoheng laughed. Seeing that she was about to explode, he whispered in her ear, "… Okay, it's okay to be pretentious in front of me, just don't be pretentious in front of others."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng. She couldn't tell from his faint smile whether he was joking or sincere. "You really don't find it annoying?"
"I find it annoying, but I don't find it annoying," Huo Shaoheng said honestly.
Gu Nianzhi choked and turned her head angrily. "You think I'm annoying now? Then why did you submit the marriage application?"
"It's for the sake of the people. Just annoy me. Don't annoy others. " Huo Shaoheng locked her against his chest. "Be good. I might have to go abroad for a mission soon."
Gu Nianzhi froze. "You have to go abroad for a mission? You're a Major General now, not a soldier. Why do you have to do it yourself? "
"Because it's a mission that requires a Major General to do it himself."
Gu Nianzhi's lips parted. She really wanted to ask what kind of mission it was for Huo Shaoheng to do it himself, but she knew that Huo Shaoheng's work couldn't be told to others. He was already being lenient by telling her that there would be a mission.
She struggled in her mind for a long time, but finally decided not to mention it. She hugged Huo Shaoheng's neck and reminded him, "Be careful and come back soon. I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay." Huo Shaoheng patted her head and tucked her messy hair behind her ear. "You have to be good too. You have to restrain yourself when I'm not in the country. You have to wait for me to come back if you want to be pretentious. "
"Then you have to come back. If you don't, I'll be pretentious with someone else." Gu Nianzhi sniffled and threatened.
"Don't you dare." Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. "You'll be punished according to the family rules when I come back."
"Family rules? Do we have family rules? Why don't I know about it? "Gu Nianzhi refused to back down and insisted on getting back at him.
"You want to know?" Huo Shaoheng lowered his head to her ear. His voice was husky and suggestive. "Do you want to come back to the apartment with me today? I'll show you the 'family rules.'"
Gu Nianzhi's face flushed. Fortunately, it was dark in the car and she couldn't see his face clearly. Otherwise, she would be even more embarrassed.
"No." She shook her head. "I have to go back to the dormitory. I've taken so many days off, and today isn't the weekend. I still have class early tomorrow morning … "
If she went back with him to "enforce the family rules," she would definitely not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
Huo Shaoheng was indeed the number one ace of the Special Operations Forces. His stamina was not just for show. After a night of torment, even though Gu Nianzhi's body was stronger than the average person's, she still couldn't withstand his repeated torment.
How would she be able to attend class tomorrow?
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to skip class anymore.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Huo Shaoheng still had something to do today. Even if she agreed, he actually couldn't accompany her.
Huo Shaoheng was able to spare an hour to have a meal with her. It was already a tight schedule.
"Ok, then I'll owe it to you for now. I'll make it up to you when I come back." Huo Shaoheng chuckled, his fingers gently caressing the edge of Gu Nianzhi's cheek.
The pads of his fingers were slightly calloused, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder between his fingers. It was the smell of a gun. It was a bit pungent, but it made her feel safe.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi finally grunted and said again, "You have to be careful."
In the past, Huo Shaoheng had also gone on missions, but Gu Nianzhi didn't have this mentality of worrying about personal gains and losses.
Their relationship was different now, and so was their mood …
Huo Shaoheng walked her out of the car, and the two of them walked to Gu Nianzhi's dormitory door. Gu Nianzhi looked up at him and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"When it's time to go." Huo Shaoheng could only say that much.
Gu Nianzhi watched his car drive away before feeling like she was floating back to her dormitory.
Ma Qiqi was already asleep, and the lights in her room were dark.
Gu Nianzhi threw herself on the bed as soon as she entered and buried her head in the pillow. Her heart was full of thoughts. "Oh my god! Huo Shao is going to marry me! "
"But he hasn't even proposed yet … How can he just marry anyone he wants?!"
"Ok, Huo Shao does have the right to marry whoever he wants. Am I going to marry myself just like that? "
She couldn't sleep for almost the entire night. The two little people in her mind continued to fight, and the dark circles under her eyes were especially serious the next day.
When she arrived at He Zhichu's office for class, He Zhichu immediately saw her sleep-deprived face and asked coldly, "What's wrong? Did you steal last night? "
"Oh? Steal? No? I was sleeping in the dormitory the whole time. " Gu Nianzhi was so sleepy that her brain was slow. She actually didn't understand what He Zhichu was implying.
He Zhichu snickered and brought her a cup of warm milk. "Drink some milk to relax."
Gu Nianzhi drank the warm milk and actually felt even more sleepy.
She sat on the sofa and listened to He Zhichu explain a case and actually fell asleep in a daze.
Fortunately, she was the only one in class today, so He Zhichu didn't say anything else. He covered her with a thin blanket and went to the study to prepare for class.
…
After Huo Shaoheng sent Gu Nianzhi back to B University that night, he went to the Senate.
Speaker Long and General Ji were waiting for him there.
There were many things that weren't explained clearly over the phone, so he had to come for a meeting with them to carefully understand the mission this time.
※ ※ ※
This was the second night …
He had to vote for the guaranteed monthly votes of his loved ones!
And the recommendation votes.
