"W-w-what?! Broke up?! "Ma Qiqi jumped up from the bed in shock." You're not kidding me, are you?! "
"No, don't be so surprised." Gu Nianzhi quickly pulled her to sit down. "Tell me first, then I'll tell you why we broke up."
Ma Qiqi patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Okay, it's like this. That day, Brother Xiong told me he was going to the airport to pick you up. That's Huo Shao, so I went to the airport to stop him, but you know I couldn't get in. Brother Xiong purposely let me in. "
Gu Nianzhi's heart warmed as she squeezed Ma Qiqi's hand.
Ma Qiqi was encouraged and continued to tell the whole story like a storyteller, including what Yin Shixiong told her and how anxious she was when she couldn't get help. Finally, she said, "When I got to the place where Huo Shao and that Tan something had arrived, I happened to see them get off the plane. Guess what I saw? I saw your Huo Shao become that Tan something's flower protector! I was furious and rushed up to yell at him! "
"Huo Shao! Your girlfriend was kidnapped and tortured with electrocution! How could you still be in the mood to be a flower protector?! Nianzhi must be blind! You scum! You'll get what you deserve! "
Gu Nianzhi's heart trembled.
She didn't see what Ma Qiqi said later on in the video!
"Qiqi, you're saying that you saw them get off the plane, saw Huo Shao help that Tan Guiren, and even took the flower from her, and then you rushed out to yell at him?" Gu Nianzhi asked in detail.
Like a jigsaw puzzle with a missing picture, she had to work hard to restore the whole picture.
Ma Qiqi nodded. "Yeah, you know it too. It was a live broadcast on TV, but the director cut it off. After that, I didn't see the part where I scolded people on the internet …" She giggled and poked Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you won't blame me, right?"
Gu Nianzhi snapped back to reality and shook her head. "Of course not."
How could she blame Ma Qiqi for helping her like that?!
She couldn't even thank her enough!
It felt so good to have someone support her and speak up for her …
She hugged Ma Qiqi and rested her head on her shoulder.
"… But you said you guys broke up … Don't tell me he really fell in love with someone else?" Ma Qiqi wondered. "What's going on?"
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt very complicated.
Her feelings and her decision couldn't be explained in a few words.
However, she also took Ma Qiqi's concerns seriously. She thought about it and said concisely, "No, Huo Shaoheng didn't fall in love with someone else. It's my own problem. This time, I've gone through fire and water, and I've come to terms with many things. I won't force things. This way, everyone will be comfortable. "
Huo Shaoheng couldn't be changed, and she didn't want him to change for her. So the best outcome was to break up peacefully. She didn't want to break up after their feelings were completely worn out. That would be too ugly.
Ma Qiqi didn't really understand, but she still nodded. "Yeah, it's good that you know what you're doing. But Nianzhi, you're still young. Even if you're in a relationship, there's no need to be stubborn. Take me for example. I've already hung from many trees. Not only did I not die, but I've also become stronger! "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but giggle at her teasing.
The unwillingness and resentment in her heart slowly dissipated in Ma Qiqi's hearty laughter.
She thought it was just a broken up. Just like Ma Qiqi said, she was still young. The most important thing now was to complete her studies and start her own career. She would be able to truly be independent in this society and not have to worry about being abandoned …
Gu Nianzhi joked with Ma Qiqi for a while and remembered it was Tuesday. She said, "Qiqi, do you have class today?"
"Oh?! Oh no, oh no! I forgot as soon as I saw you come back! I have two classes in the morning! I've already passed half a class! "Ma Qiqi hurriedly put on her backpack that she had already packed and ran out.
Gu Nianzhi only got up to go back to her room when she heard the door outside the dorm slam shut.
She froze as soon as she entered.
Huo Shaoheng had already put her suitcase in the closet and was getting water to clean up for her.
The windows were wiped clean, the floor was mopped, and the bed was covered with new sheets. The old sheets were removed and placed in the laundry basket.
Huo Shaoheng heard the door open and turned to see Gu Nianzhi come in. He straightened up and asked, "Ma Qiqi went out?"
He had just heard the door open and close outside.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "She went to class. She was so excited just now that she forgot she had class. She's going to class now. "
Huo Shaoheng patted the bed. "Come and sit."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
"What's wrong? I won't do anything to you, "Huo Shaoheng said calmly as he stood up from the bed and moved away.
Gu Nianzhi didn't go over. She leaned against the door and lowered her head for a long time without saying anything.
Ma Qiqi's words just now made her think a lot.
Ma Qiqi had scolded Huo Shaoheng at the airport, but Huo Shaoheng hadn't mentioned a word to her. Perhaps a man like Huo Shaoheng wouldn't care about such a small matter.
They only cared about national affairs and the world. People like Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi weren't even worth mentioning in their eyes. Naturally, they wouldn't care if you scolded him, praised him, or loved him.
As for him, he was indeed not a match for her. Their families didn't match, and she was the one who forced it. It was too hard for her.
It wasn't necessarily a bad thing to be able to extricate herself from such intense feelings.
Gu Nianzhi said calmly, "Huo Shaoheng, I apologize for my attitude before. I really felt very uncomfortable and wasn't in a good state of mind. I hope you can be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. "
Huo Shaoheng froze and narrowed his eyes at Gu Nianzhi. He didn't feel happy about her calm attitude. Instead, he felt even more depressed.
"… I know you had your difficulties, but you also know that I … I really … really couldn't be that magnanimous in that kind of situation. I'm … very tired. "Gu Nianzhi looked down and brushed away a strand of hair that had fallen.
"I know. You don't have to apologize." Huo Shaoheng walked to her and held her shoulders. "I'm the one who needs to apologize."
"… I don't blame you." Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "I know, I don't blame you. Although I'm really sad, I know I shouldn't blame you. "
"You can blame me." Huo Shaoheng felt even worse. It was worse than when Gu Nianzhi argued with him and when she stabbed him with her words.
He leaned forward and pulled Gu Nianzhi into his arms. He patted her back. "… Nianzhi, you're not angry anymore, right?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and gently pushed Huo Shaoheng away. "Huo Shaoheng, I said I'm not angry anymore."
"Then are we still breaking up?"
"Of course, we're breaking up."
"… Why?" Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time before asking.
"No reason. If you really want a reason, you can say that Qi Da is not a match. "Gu Nianzhi raised her head, and the sparkling light in her eyes instantly disappeared.
"… You think I'm old." Huo Shaoheng let go of Gu Nianzhi's shoulders and took a step back. He looked at Gu Nianzhi's face and clenched his fists behind his back.
Gu Nianzhi was slightly sullen. "… Huo Shaoheng, is that how you explain Qi Da is not a match? You know it's not like that. "
Huo Shaoheng didn't dwell on the topic anymore. He looked away and looked around the room. "I'll take you to buy a phone and some daily necessities. Your fridge is empty. "
"… I can buy it myself. Huo Shaoheng, thank you for today. Goodbye. "Gu Nianzhi opened the door and was already about to leave.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly smiled at her. It was like a spring breeze blowing through a sleeping valley. Everything was awakened and full of life.
Gu Nianzhi only felt that her eyes were dazzling and full of prosperity.
"Let's go. I'm free today." Huo Shaoheng took her hand and naturally led her out of the dormitory just like before.
Gu Nianzhi was immersed in the shock of that beautiful smile. After a while, she came back to her senses and broke free from Huo Shaoheng's hand. However, they were already in the car.
He was too cunning …
Gu Nianzhi's lips twitched. She silently followed Huo Shaoheng to buy a phone.
She used her bank card when she paid the bill. Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything. He only helped her turn on the phone to look at the contents. He didn't say anything before putting it down.
Gu Nianzhi bought the phone and installed the SIM card. Huo Shaoheng was the first to call. He took the phone from Gu Nianzhi's hand and saved his number as A.
That way, his number would always be at the top.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Gu Nianzhi took back her phone and called He Zhichu.
It was an unknown number. He Zhichu wouldn't pick up.
As expected, the call went to voicemail.
Gu Nianzhi happily left a message. "Professor He, it's Gu Nianzhi. This is my new phone number. I'm already back for class. Can you send me your class schedule? "
Gu Nianzhi wasn't only He Zhichu's teaching assistant, but also his assistant at his American law firm. She was officially on the payroll.
Huo Shaoheng drove quietly and drove Gu Nianzhi around the campus. He asked casually, "Nianzhi, you said you saw a house near the campus. Where is it?"
