"Hmm? Could it be that Senior Brother and Brother Xiong are together? "Ma Qiqi asked curiously. She picked up her backpack and went downstairs in high spirits.
Gu Nianzhi was waiting for Yin Shixiong, so she quickly followed him downstairs.
Coming out of the elevator, she saw two men standing in front of the dorm.
One was tall and burly with an imposing appearance, while the other was slender and handsome. Both were very eye-catching.
As expected, the senior who had been pursuing Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong had coincidentally come together.
Gu Nianzhi was anxious and quickly walked up to Yin Shixiong. "Brother Xiong, you're finally here. If you took any longer, I would've starved to death!"
"Are you exaggerating?" Yin Shixiong looked at his watch with a smile. "It's only seven."
"I usually have dinner at five. I'm already two hours late." Gu Nianzhi pointed at her watch. "Let's go. Where are we going to eat?"
Yin Shixiong shook his head with a smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Nianzhi's roommate walking over. He nodded at her and greeted, "Miss Ma."
Ma Qiqi was shocked by the "Miss Ma" and quickly waved her hand. "Just call me Qiqi. Don't call me Miss Ma. I don't deserve it."
Yin Shixiong smiled and readily changed his mind. "Qiqi, we'll be going now." He turned to follow Gu Nianzhi down the steps.
"Who is this? So arrogant. " The senior who had been ignored by both Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong was displeased and tugged on Ma Qiqi's arm.
Ma Qiqi looked away and smiled. "It's my roommate's … relative. Let's go watch a movie?"
The senior was also a bit displeased with Gu Nianzhi and said, "Your roommate is so arrogant. He completely ignores me and doesn't even acknowledge me. He's so rude."
Ma Qiqi's smile froze. "What are you talking about? How did my roommate piss you off? "
"She didn't piss me off, but she ignores me every time. It makes me feel uncomfortable." This Senior Brother was also an arrogant person with good grades and a good family background. He was the target of flattery wherever he went. Gu Nianzhi was the only one who treated him coldly. Although it wasn't to say that she ignored him, eight out of ten times she wouldn't take the initiative to greet him.
Ma Qiqi found it strange and said in confusion, "I don't think there's a problem. Do you want her to cling to you and not let go? "
"That's not what I meant …" The senior quickly explained, "I just think that since I'm your roommate and I'm your boyfriend, shouldn't she treat me better? We're all acquaintances, so why don't you even look at me? "
Ma Qiqi pursed her lips and said with a half-smile, "I don't think there's anything wrong with her attitude. That's pretty good. But Senior Brother, when did I agree to be your girlfriend? "
Ma Qiqi had not made up her mind to start another relationship with this senior brother of hers, and she was still in the process of pursuing him.
She had yet to recover from the trauma of her previous boyfriend cheating on her.
The senior brother raised a brow and took her hand. "Fine, fine. Let's go watch a movie. Don't get angry and fight over unrelated people."
Ma Qiqi opened her mouth and wanted to say that Gu Nianzhi wasn't unrelated, but then she felt like she wasn't "unrelated" either. She had nothing to do with their relationship at all. This senior brother's focus was really strange …
But since they were already downstairs, she still followed him.
She still had to watch the movie at night.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed Yin Shixiong into the car and went to a western restaurant outside the school's south gate.
They chose this place to eat because it was quieter and had fewer people. It was a place to talk.
They didn't ask for a private room. Instead, they sat by the window in the hall.
There were very few people in the restaurant, and each table was separated by a variety of bonsai and a small screen that was half the height of a person. Privacy was well protected.
Gu Nianzhi ordered a cheese fried cod with vegetable salad and mashed potatoes.
Yin Shixiong ordered a medium-rare steak with thick crab broth and a small roll.
Because Yin Shixiong had driven there alone, he didn't order alcohol. He only ordered lemon water and coconut juice.
Gu Nianzhi used her knife and fork to cut the entire headless cod into small pieces. She ate a few bites before asking Yin Shixiong, "Brother Xiong, have you been busy lately?"
"I've been busy. They're not here, so everything is piled on me. How can I not be busy?" Yin Shixiong ate his steak in large bites.
He was really hungry.
After the meeting the previous night, he hadn't slept at all to arrange the follow-up work.
He had also been busy the entire day and only had one meal. Now his stomach was rumbling.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Yin Shixiong had such a good appetite and guessed that he must have been so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. She couldn't help but say, "I wonder if Huo Shaoheng has anything that suits his taste."
"Don't worry. When we went on missions in the past, we stayed outside for a year and a half. We could eat fancy meals and eat at street food stalls. Also, we can cook for ourselves, so we're much better than you. You should worry about yourself more. "Yin Shixiong took a sip of lemon water and carefully studied Gu Nianzhi." You've lost weight. What's wrong? Are you busy too? "
"Of course I'm busy." Gu Nianzhi excitedly explained what she had been doing recently. "Brother Xiong, I'm not only Professor He's teaching assistant now, but I'm also his assistant at the largest law firm in the United States! I'm an official employee of that law firm now! "
"Oh? Really? " Yin Shixiong was truly shocked. He didn't realize it and asked out of habit, "Then did you tell Huo Shao?"
In the past, Gu Nianzhi would report everything to Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and said, "How can I report it? I don't even know where Huo Shao is. "
Her big, bright eyes turned to look at Yin Shixiong slyly. "Brother Xiong, how can I contact Huo Shao and tell him this news?"
Yin Shixiong's lips pressed into a thin line. His eyes flashed before he finally laughed. "Oh you! I almost fell for your trap! I said I can't say it, so I can't say it. You can't trick me no matter what. "
"Pfft, then why did you say that?" Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at him. "You made me happy for nothing."
Yin Shixiong didn't say anything else. He slowly finished the rest of his steak and rinsed his mouth with lemon water before saying, "Nianzhi, don't blame me for not reminding you. When you decided to be with Huo Shao, you should have been mentally prepared. This kind of situation will be a daily occurrence for you and Huo Shao in the future. He will disappear for a period of time from time to time, and during this time, you can't ask him, you can't look for him, and you can't tell anyone. If you can't do this, then don't be with Huo Shao anymore. "
Gu Nianzhi's nose started to sting from his words. Her nose was slightly dry, and she actually felt like crying.
However, she held it in and tried to say in a relaxed tone, "Of course I know! But I thought with Huo Shao's current status, this kind of situation wouldn't happen often, so how could it be a daily occurrence for me and Huo Shao in the future? At most, it would be considered an emergency. "
Yin Shixiong was rebutted by Gu Nianzhi and realized that she made a lot of sense. He was actually speechless.
He rubbed his nose and chuckled. "Nianzhi is still so eloquent. I can't win against you in an argument." He then asked her, "You're now an employee of the largest law firm in the United States, so what do you plan to do during the summer? Will you work in the United States? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and finished the last bite of cod. She took a sip of coconut juice before saying, "I don't think so. This will depend on Professor He's arrangements. He said he'll take on a few cases during the summer for me to try out, but I don't know where. "
Yin Shixiong nodded again and said casually, "Actually, why don't you take more classes during the summer and try to graduate earlier? Also, if Huo Shao comes back and you're not in the country, wouldn't that be a pity? "
Gu Nianzhi grunted. "I'll think about it. But Brother Xiong … "Gu Nianzhi looked up at him." I can't always wait here for Huo Shao. He has his own career, and I have my own job. "
"Of course, of course. Our Nianzhi also has her own job!" Yin Shixiong was extremely emotional and looked at Gu Nianzhi like he was looking at his daughter. "But don't be too tired. You're really too thin. Here, eat some more. "
Yin Shixiong ordered another dessert for Gu Nianzhi. "The tiramisu here is very famous. Do you want to try it?"
Gu Nianzhi agreed and shared a plate of tiramisu with Yin Shixiong.
After dinner, they chatted in the cafeteria for a while before Yin Shixiong sent Gu Nianzhi back to her dorm.
After watching Gu Nianzhi enter the dorm, Yin Shixiong drove to the south gate.
After exiting the south gate, he drove very slowly. He had something on his mind and didn't know what to do when he got back. He just strolled on the road and thought he was taking a stroll to relax.
Not long after, his phone rang. He put on his Bluetooth headset and gripped the steering wheel with both hands. "What's up?"
"Chief, we took down the news about the Tan's daughter. The Tan's are unhappy and came to our public relations department to ask why we're interfering with their internal affairs …"
The position of the Special Operations Forces was an organization based abroad. Although they were directly under the military and had all kinds of privileges, these privileges couldn't be used domestically. They also couldn't interfere with internal affairs.
Yin Shixiong's forehead twitched uncontrollably. He thought to himself that the Tan's must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall. He wasn't even Prime Minister yet, but he was already calling himself Prime Minister?
Interfering with internal affairs …
Did they think they wanted to interfere?
If the Tan's hadn't desperately wanted Huo Shao to personally go on missions, would they have caused such a big mess?!
But now, he couldn't say a single word. If he did, it would be a leak, and General Ji wouldn't let him get away with it.
They couldn't even cause trouble for the Tan's now. They could only rely on General Ji to pressure Tan Dongbang through the Senate and make him explain why his daughter hadn't returned to the Empire in time.
But even this little bit of questioning was used by the Tan's to stir up news and imply that the military and the Senate were working together to suppress them.
After thinking about it for a while, Yin Shixiong said, "Have the legal department step in and find legal evidence to fight back. If the Tan's don't know what's good for them, then go to military court. "
If something really happened to Huo Shao, they would eventually go to military court to sue Tan Dongbang and his wife.
