He Zhichu wanted nothing more than to hold a large draft beer and go boating with Gu Nianzhi on the Isar River in Munich.
The case had taken place in the Roslau region of Germany, but due to the involvement of high-ranking Roslau police officers, the case was later handled by the Munich Police Department and the court was moved to the Munich District Court.
He Zhichu was taking Gu Nianzhi and four other American legal assistants to Munich, Germany.
When Gu Nianzhi woke up, she realized she was still on the sofa but covered with a thin blanket. He Zhichu was sitting next to her and had fallen asleep with his head propped up on his hand.
She looked up from the sofa and blankly stared at He Zhichu.
He Zhichu looked very charming as he slept. There was no trace of his usual aloof expression on his handsome face. His shimmering, almond-shaped eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were relaxed. He was clear and handsome, like a gentle boy next door, unlike the temperamental Professor He …
Gu Nianzhi made a face and quietly got up from the sofa.
But the moment she moved, the sofa sunk in.
He Zhichu seemed to be a light sleeper and was immediately startled awake.
His long eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes. He instinctively looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was standing next to him, and happened to meet her large eyes.
He Zhichu's breath caught in his throat.
Those were a pair of sparkling, black eyes …
They could see straight into his heart.
Gu Nianzhi froze and instinctively looked away. He Zhichu finally lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering all his thoughts.
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the sofa and rubbed her eyes. She asked in confusion, "How did I fall asleep? Professor He, you didn't even tell me. "She rubbed her waist and gritted her teeth." Sleeping on the sofa is too tiring. My back hurts. "
He Zhichu opened his shimmering, sultry eyes and said coldly, "You were lying down, but I sat all night. I'm the one who's hurting."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
This conversation sounded so strange …
But seeing He Zhichu's darkening expression, Gu Nianzhi immediately smiled obsequiously and said to him, "Professor He, do you want me to massage your back? Or I can call and find you a professional Level Eight massage therapist? "
"You know how to massage backs?" He Zhichu snorted disdainfully. "I'm guessing that if you hit me twice, it means that you hurt your hand and you're going to sue me for work-related injury, right?"
"Of course not!" Gu Nianzhi giggled and shook her head. "Professor He thinks too lowly of me. How could I?!"
Gu Nianzhi had never massaged anyone's back before. Well, except for Huo Shao, who was one of them.
He Zhichu also knew that she was just coaxing him, but even so, he was happy.
"Alright, you can go back. You don't have to come today. Take a hot bath first before resting. You have a cold, and if it doesn't get better, I won't be taking you to Germany. "He Zhichu looked at the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist." We still have three days. "
"Ah? Yes, Professor! "Gu Nianzhi quickly picked up her laptop." Then I'll go back now. "
She dashed out of He Zhichu's suite and returned to her dorm.
Ma Qiqi interned at the law firm during the day, so Ma Qiqi didn't know that Gu Nianzhi didn't come back last night because she came back late and left for work early in the morning.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door to the dorm in a daze early in the morning and almost floated to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Then she fell into bed and slept like a log.
When Ma Qiqi came back from work that night, she remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi in two days. She knocked on her door to wake her up.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were swollen from sleeping so she groggily opened the door. "Qiqi? What's wrong? "
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You look like you're sick. "Ma Qiqi reached out to touch Gu Nianzhi's forehead.
Gu Nianzhi had slept the whole day and had indeed had a high fever, but it had gone down on its own. Now she was covered in sweat and felt very uncomfortable, but her head didn't hurt anymore.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes. "I had a cold yesterday, but I'm much better today. I'm just tired. "
"This is the aftereffect of a high fever. Hurry and go rest," Ma Qiqi said as she walked Gu Nianzhi back to her room. "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you. "
Gu Nianzhi yawned. "I want to eat porridge."
"Ok, I'll go buy century egg and lean meat porridge. I want to eat it too." Ma Qiqi made a face and moved closer to Gu Nianzhi to ask mysteriously, "Nianzhi, Professor He is going to Germany for a lawsuit. Can you help me get an autograph?"
Gu Nianzhi knew that Ma Qiqi was the most concerned about this case. She thought about it and whispered to her, "Qiqi, I want to tell you something."
"What?"
"I will go to Germany with Professor He and help that female exchange student's parents with the civil lawsuit." Gu Nianzhi smiled as she watched Ma Qiqi's expression change from disbelief to ecstasy.
Ma Qiqi almost turned into a "howling cult leader" in an instant. She hugged Gu Nianzhi's shoulders and shook her vigorously. She shouted, "Nianzhi! Nianzhi! Is this true?! You're really going to Germany to help them with the lawsuit?! "
"It's absolutely true. The visa is already done." Gu Nianzhi hesitated but still reminded Ma Qiqi, "Don't tell anyone, and don't put it online."
Ma Qiqi stuck out her tongue. If Gu Nianzhi hadn't specifically reminded her, she really would have bragged about it online.
But since Gu Nianzhi had already brought it up, she definitely wouldn't tell anyone.
As friends, the most important thing was to respect each other's privacy.
"Ok, I won't tell anyone. When is your flight? I'll see you off. "Ma Qiqi made up her mind to personally see Gu Nianzhi off to show her support, even if she had to take a day off.
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand to smooth her long hair that was messy from sleep and yawned. "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Ok, I'll see you off then." Ma Qiqi stood up. "I'll go buy you porridge. Rest well."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and watched Ma Qiqi leave their dorm room.
But she couldn't rest, either. Ma Qiqi's reaction just now reminded her that she should tell Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze.
Gu Nianzhi originally didn't want to tell them because she was worried they would stop her from going to Germany and that she would cause trouble for Huo Shao …
But after thinking about it, she decided to be honest.
If they objected, she would have no choice but to use He Zhichu.
Picking up her phone to call Yin Shixiong, Gu Nianzhi greeted him and said, "Brother Xiong, I'm going to Germany with Professor He the day after tomorrow."
"Germany? What's up? "Yin Shixiong was busy working and asked casually.
"Brother Xiong, do you know about the case of the Hua Xia female exchange student who was murdered in Germany? Professor He was the lawyer hired by Minister Bai, and I'm his assistant. I'm going to Germany with him for the lawsuit. "Gu Nianzhi said it casually because she didn't want Yin Shixiong to pay too much attention to it.
