The students in the classroom all looked at them like searchlights. Gu Nianzhi couldn't take it anymore and quietly admitted defeat to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, I was wrong. Can we go now?"
"Wrong? What did you do wrong? " Huo Shaoheng sat there motionlessly and averted his gaze. He didn't look in Gu Nianzhi's direction but kept watching her from the corner of his eye.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it. She admitted her mistake too quickly. Was she really wrong?
She just wanted to try dating like a normal classmate …
But after trying, she realized it really wasn't suitable.
Because Huo Shao wasn't a normal classmate, it was a huge mistake for her to use normal dating standards to measure him.
How could she be so greedy when both ends of the sugar cane were sweet?
Gu Nianzhi's mind raced, and she already understood that she was indeed wrong.
"Huo Shao …" Gu Nianzhi tugged at the corner of Huo Shaoheng's shirt under the desk, her expression timid, "I shouldn't have made such a request … I won't do it again …"
Huo Shaoheng looked over calmly and held her hand, "There's no should, only willingness."
Gu Nianzhi's heart warmed and she glanced at him, "Since when did Huo Shao become so good at talking?"
"Didn't I know how to talk before?" Huo Shaoheng stood up and put his phone back in his pocket as he helped Gu Nianzhi carry her bag.
"The past is different from now." Gu Nianzhi smiled as she put her laptop into her bag and carried it on her back before walking out with Huo Shaoheng.
It was already evening when they returned to Gu Nianzhi's dorm.
Huo Shaoheng walked her out of the car and patted her shoulder in front of the building, "Wait for me to come back."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Take care, Huo Shao."
"Look for Big Xiong if you need anything." Huo Shaoheng reminded her, "Little Ze will go with me. Don't contact him either."
Gu Nianzhi knew they were on a mission and any interference that wasn't part of the plan would cause immeasurable damage.
To Gu Nianzhi, this was especially important.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Huo Shaoheng, so no matter how important it was, she wouldn't disturb him while he was on duty.
"I'll wait for you to come back." Gu Nianzhi ignored the people walking in front of the dorm and tiptoed to kiss Huo Shaoheng's cheek.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her back. "Let's go back to the dorm."
Gu Nianzhi walked towards the entrance of the dormitory building. When she reached the elevator, she turned around to see Huo Shaoheng still standing in front of the car in front of the building, quietly watching her.
She couldn't help but turn around and walk out to stand in front of Huo Shaoheng. "Huo Shao, why aren't you getting in the car?"
"I'll watch you go in." Huo Shaoheng stroked the hair on her forehead. His deep gaze gradually softened. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Good girl."
Gu Nianzhi hugged Huo Shaoheng's waist and leaned against his chest to listen to his steady and powerful heartbeat. She told herself to be brave, to be independent, and to … wait for him to come back.
After a long time, she looked up and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had already calmed down. "I'm going up. Huo Shao, you should go back too. Give me a call when you get back. "
"Okay, then I'll be leaving." Huo Shaoheng looked at his watch and realized that it was almost time. He had to hurry back to the base and bring his equipment and identification. He still had time to rush to the airport.
Huo Shaoheng didn't hesitate anymore. He turned around and got into the car. He waved at Gu Nianzhi and quickly drove away.
In the end, Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the dormitory building and watched him leave.
Gu Nianzhi didn't return to the dormitory until she could no longer see Huo Shaoheng's car.
They hadn't even truly separated yet, but she was already starting to miss him so much.
Gu Nianzhi hit her head and warned herself not to get too obsessed. Huo Shao had a job, and so did she. She couldn't keep thinking about love. It was too much of a hindrance.
But things like love weren't like a faucet that could be turned on and off as one pleased.
Not being able to control yourself was the normal state of a relationship.
Opening the dormitory door, she saw Ma Qiqi walk out of her room with her hair dripping wet.
"Huh? Nianzhi is back? Why do you look so down? "Ma Qiqi looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully." Are you unhappy about something? "
Gu Nianzhi touched her face. "Is it that obvious?"
"Of course. I'm just short of writing the words' I'm depressed 'on my face." Ma Qiqi giggled as she gestured at her face. "Tell me. What are you unhappy about? Just tell me. I'm your caring sister and I can help you analyze it."
Gu Nianzhi pushed her away with a smile. "Fine, go dry your hair. Be careful not to catch a cold. I'm fine. I just have too much homework. I'm tired. "
Ma Qiqi finally saw Gu Nianzhi carrying her laptop bag and school bag.
She gasped and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You're going to study on a Sunday? Nianzhi, you're amazing! You're demonstrating what it means to be smarter than you and work harder than you! How do you expect us mediocre people to live?! "
"How do we live? You're exaggerating. Aren't you living well? "Gu Nianzhi teased her for a bit before entering her room and closing the door.
Ma Qiqi also quickly returned to her room to dry her hair.
She had a date with the senior who was interested in her that night. They were going to watch the Moscow National Ballet's ballet in the lecture hall on campus.
This time, it was her favorite, "The Nutcracker." She had to savor it.
Gu Nianzhi returned to her room, took out her laptop, and continued her homework.
Once she was immersed in her studies, her mind was free of distractions. Time passed especially quickly.
When she finally finished her thesis, it was already past nine o 'clock at night.
At that time, Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze were already on a plane to the United States.
He and Zhao Liangze were already in disguise. Of course, their documents were fake, but their visas were real.
Huo Shaoheng also put on a disguise.
His nose was already very straight, but now it was padded even higher. It looked very out of place, and his attractiveness was greatly reduced.
Both sides of his lower jaw were padded to form a square face. He also wore black-rimmed glasses with special functions. At first glance, he looked like a very ordinary IT engineer.
Even Gu Nianzhi might not recognize him if she stood in front of him.
Zhao Liangze was also in disguise. He also wore black-rimmed glasses with special functions. His nose was a little flat, and the corners of his mouth were always drooping. He was especially talkative.
The two of them sat in economy class on an international flight. They were like ordinary people, and did not stand out at all.
They were now employees of a private company in the Hua Xia Empire in New York. They had L-1 visas for senior employees of a multinational company.
After a full 12 hours of flight, it was past seven o 'clock at night when they arrived in New York.
When they came out of customs, the employee of the private company who had come to pick them up held a large sign and stood at the exit.
Zhao Liangze saw the sign and tugged at Huo Shaoheng's sleeve. "Huo Shao, this way."
Huo Shaoheng walked over with him.
A middle-aged woman in her 40s came to pick them up. She asked curiously, "Are you Mr. Huo and Mr. Zhao?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Excuse me, where will we be staying today?"
"We've already booked the Hilton Hotel for you. You can stay there for a few days until the company finds a good place for you to move." The middle-aged woman was very talkative. She talked non-stop about the company's situation along the way, and repeatedly assured them that the company was operating well and making a lot of money.
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze listened to her attentively and occasionally interjected.
The middle-aged woman was actually also a member of the Special Operations Forces. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent to pick Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze up.
She only knew that the two of them were colleagues from the Special Operations Forces. Because Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze had already altered their appearances, she didn't know their true identities.
"You can rest assured and stay here. We'll talk about anything else tomorrow. "The woman smiled and gave them some instructions before leaving the hotel.
After she left, Zhao Liangze set up all the equipment.
He first checked if the room was safe as usual and if there were any listening devices.
Then he closed the curtains and made plans for the next day.
"Huo Shao, someone will come over tomorrow to take us to Tan Guiren's dormitory at Juilliard." Zhao Liangze reported the next day's schedule to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng grunted. "Hurry up and go to bed. We have a field survey tomorrow. You must be careful."
