Ye Zitan was taken away, and Gu Nianzhi and Chen Lie also left the Department of Discipline building.
Chen Lie was in a daze the whole way. He couldn't focus at all.
In the end, he didn't want to go back to the office and said to Gu Nianzhi, "I'm going back to my dorm to rest for a while. Nianzhi, can you go back to the ward alone?"
Although Gu Nianzhi no longer had a fever, Chen Lie was still worried. He wanted to keep her under observation for two more days, so he didn't allow her to leave the hospital for now.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Brother Chen, have a good rest." She continued, "When you're done resting, can I go back to school?"
"Okay, we'll talk about it when I get back." Chen Lie waved without looking back and turned to another path back to the dormitory.
Gu Nianzhi returned to Chen Lie's office alone and sat down in the single room outside. She let out a long sigh.
Ye Zitan had been taken away and would probably never return.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it carefully and realized that she didn't have any extra sympathy for her. Perhaps she really didn't light up the "Holy Mother" skill point for "hitting the left side of the face and offering the right side up."
Perhaps Ye Zitan's last words had wiped out the last bit of sympathy she had left.
She leaned back on the sofa and covered her forehead with the back of her hand, thinking silently.
Although Gu Nianzhi had rebutted Ye Zitan's last words on the spot, it was impossible for her not to suspect anything.
"That time, you were raped to that state, and you were covered in bruises all over …"
Ye Zitan's words echoed in Gu Nianzhi's ears over and over again. As she recalled the past, her face gradually turned pale.
Gu Nianzhi remembered very clearly that although she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac at her university classmate Feng Yixi's birthday party, she had sought out Chen Lie before the drug had taken effect.
Chen Lie had brought her to the Special Operations Forces base in C City.
She just couldn't remember what happened after she arrived at the Special Operations Forces base.
By the time she woke up, it was already two weeks later, and she had also missed He Zhichu's interview because of this.
If what Ye Zitan said was true, then she could only have been raped during the period when she lost her memory at the Special Operations Forces base.
However, the Special Operations Forces base was Huo Shao's territory. How could something like that happen?
Gu Nianzhi felt that Ye Zitan wasn't telling the truth, no matter if it was logical or logical.
But Ye Zitan also swore that she saw her "covered in wounds," and that after she woke up, it was indeed Ye Zitan who took care of her …
What the hell was going on?
Also, she clearly remembered that her first time was with Huo Shao …
Her thoughts suddenly flew to her first time with Huo Shao. It didn't seem to have been on the bed, but in the bathtub?
That was strange.
Then did she bleed?
Actually, not much time had passed, but she couldn't remember the details.
Rubbing her forehead in frustration, she picked up the iPad on the sofa and started playing games.
When she was in a bad mood, only games could divert her attention.
…
When Huo Shaoheng returned from the execution ground, he couldn't help but go to the medical building at the military base.
He brought Yin Shixiong to the floor where Chen Lie's office was and paced around the elevator for a while.
Yin Shixiong followed behind her for a few steps and suddenly had an idea. He thought, Is Nianzhi arguing with Huo Shao? So Huo Shao never went to see Nianzhi …
Then what was he going to do? To be a big light bulb? Huo Shao would be embarrassed even if he wanted to coax Nianzhi.
Yin Shixiong decided not to go. "Huo Shao, I'll go see how Little Ze is doing. Can you go to Dr. Chen's office alone?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't turn around and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Yin Shixiong sighed in relief and ran to find Zhao Liangze with a face full of gossip.
Gu Nianzhi, who had always listened to Huo Shaoheng like a god, had finally "rebelled." Yin Shixiong was so excited that he couldn't help but want to share it with someone.
He couldn't be the only one scared. Little Ze had to be scared, too.
It was better to scare everyone than to scare him alone.
…
The distance from the elevator to Chen Lie's office was only about 10 meters, but Huo Shaoheng felt like he had walked for a long time.
When he reached the door, he quietly looked at it and opened it after a while.
Gu Nianzhi was playing on the iPad on the sofa when she heard the door open. She thought it was Chen Lie coming back and didn't look up. "Brother Chen, why are you back so soon? Did you rest well? "
No one spoke at the door.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt the air become heavy.
She looked up in surprise but didn't see Chen Lie. Instead, she saw Huo Shaoheng standing at the door.
The lights in the hallway shone from behind him and cast a tall silhouette. He stood at the door, his deep, dark eyes staring at her without moving.
How long had it been since they last saw each other?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't figure it out at the moment.
She looked at him but realized that she didn't feel as elated as she used to when she saw him.
On the contrary, as soon as she saw him, she recalled the scene when he and Tan Guiren got off the plane.
That casual smile, the way he subconsciously helped her up, and the way he accepted the bouquet — all the scenes flashed through Gu Nianzhi's mind. What little was left of her nostalgia was instantly shattered.
She originally thought that when she saw him again, she would cry and make a fuss. She would vent all her grievances before breaking up with him, but she realized that her heart was as calm as a mirror.
She nodded at Huo Shaoheng. "Mr. Huo is here."
Huo Shaoheng looked up at her. "Nianzhi, must you be so distant?"
"Then call you Uncle Huo?" Familiar enough, right?
Huo Shaoheng felt a lump in his throat.
The corners of his lips couldn't help twitching. He finally walked in and closed the door. Walking to Gu Nianzhi, he asked calmly, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, much better. Thank you for your concern." Gu Nianzhi turned off the iPad and stood up to give Huo Shaoheng her seat. "Please sit. Do you want some tea? Or coffee? "
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued to ask her, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
"No, I'm fine." Gu Nianzhi was polite. "Thank you for bringing me to Brother Chen's place."
Huo Shaoheng sighed and his voice became even lower. "Nianzhi, don't be like this …"
"I'm just like that. I'm sorry, but I don't fit your expectations." Gu Nianzhi turned around and looked at Huo Shaoheng with clear eyes. "I actually have something to talk to Mr. Huo about. I originally thought that you were so busy that it would take a year and a half before you could take the time to see a nobody like me. I didn't expect to see you in just one day."
"Stop it." Huo Shaoheng reached out to hold Gu Nianzhi's hand. "You know that I'm always free to you."
"I really don't know when you'll be free." Gu Nianzhi took a step back, and Huo Shaoheng's hand missed.
Gu Nianzhi thought she would cry, but she didn't. She didn't want to be too sarcastic and make it seem like she was jealous. She didn't want to continue leaving that impression on Huo Shaoheng.
Perhaps it was because Huo Shaoheng's impression of her was too poor, so no matter how hard she tried, he only thought she was throwing a tantrum …
She had risked her life in Germany, but he only left the impression of her as "throwing a tantrum."
Gu Nianzhi finally felt her heart ache. Her nose felt dry, and tears gathered in her eyes, but she didn't cry.
Lowering her head and taking two deep breaths, Gu Nianzhi recalled what Ye Zitan had said.
The question that had been rolling around in her mind just now couldn't come out when she faced Huo Shaoheng.
It wasn't that she was embarrassed, but Gu Nianzhi subconsciously felt that with Huo Shaoheng's abilities and abilities, he could easily fool her.
So if she really wanted to find the answer, she definitely shouldn't start with Huo Shaoheng. She should start with Chen Lie.
Chen Lie had a big mouth, so it would be much easier to get information from him than from Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi was lost in her thoughts, and Huo Shaoheng grabbed her hand.
She quickly struggled. "Let go."
"Nianzhi, let's talk this out." Huo Shaoheng used a bit of strength to pull her back to sit on the sofa.
Gu Nianzhi used more strength and finally broke free from his hand. Turning around, she took the iPad and hugged it. She thought she should cut the Gordian knot quickly. It was better to get the pain over with than to prolong it.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was inches away from him. He really wanted to hug her, but seeing that she was about to explode at the slightest touch, he restrained himself.
They hadn't seen each other for a few months, yet she was like this when they met again.
Huo Shaoheng propped up his elbow and leaned against the sofa's armrest. His long legs stretched out lazily, and his other arm was draped over the back of the sofa behind Gu Nianzhi, wrapping his arms around her.
Gu Nianzhi turned those words over in her mind a few times. Looking down, she finally said with difficulty, "Mr. Huo, thank you for taking care of me all these years. I'm very grateful."
"Nianzhi, look at me. What did I teach you in the past? It's impolite not to look into the other person's eyes when you speak, "Huo Shaoheng said calmly. He quietly sat closer to Gu Nianzhi.
