Gu Nianzhi stood motionless at the door of the study and looked at Huo Shaoheng quietly.
His deep, dark eyes seemed to contain a fire, but it was hidden in a pool of autumn water.
"What's wrong?" Huo Shaoheng took her hand. "Don't you know where the bathroom is?"
He had just gone to see it, but now he said she didn't know where the bathroom was. Did he think she was a dumb girl?
Gu Nianzhi stared at him and broke free of her hand. She rubbed her left wrist with her right hand and said dryly, "If that's the case, I don't want this house anymore. Just treat it as a gift to Huo Shao to thank you for raising me for so many years." She turned to leave.
Huo Shaoheng didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so stubborn and was slightly taken aback.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had already walked to the entrance, Huo Shaoheng strode after her and grabbed her wrist again. "Nianzhi! Stop it! "
"I'm not." Gu Nianzhi stumbled and almost fell.
She leaned back and fell right into Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng wrapped his arms around her from behind. His broad chest was like a mountain, able to shelter her from the wind and rain.
"… Nianzhi, what do you want?" Huo Shaoheng was a little helpless. "Acting out of spite won't solve anything."
"But forcing me to accept what I don't want won't solve anything either." Gu Nianzhi didn't struggle anymore. She looked down at Huo Shaoheng's arms in front of her. They were strong and strong, and he could immobilize her with one hand.
Huo Shaoheng opened his mouth to ask her what she didn't want, but he was worried that she would say something she would regret in the future. So he swallowed his words.
The girl in his arms was fragile and self-abased, but she was smart and proud. Such contradictory emotions gathered on her and had a mysterious charm.
To be honest, Huo Shaoheng knew that she wasn't actually suitable for him when they first started.
In a sense, General Ji, Speaker Long, and his father Huo Guanchen's concerns were all reasonable.
In the beginning, he was mostly responsible for her.
But when feelings developed to a certain extent, it was no longer rational.
The two of them had been together for so long, and she wasn't the only one who had fallen in love.
After he understood her feelings, he immediately set about the marriage.
With Gu Nianzhi's background, it was almost impossible for her to marry someone like Huo Shaoheng.
But he did everything he could to make the impossible possible.
However, Gu Nianzhi didn't understand these things, and what she cared about wasn't whether or not she could get married.
Although she was extremely smart and skilled in her profession, when it came to relationships, she was only a 19-year-old girl.
Compared to him, who was about to turn 30 years old, he did think differently in this regard.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes were as dark as the night sky. He tightened his arms around her and finally compromised. "This is your house. I'll take my things away tomorrow."
Gu Nianzhi thought she had misheard Huo Shaoheng's sudden surrender.
A surge of heat rose in her chest, rising all the way to the bottom of her eyes, almost turning into tears.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a full minute before she blinked and stopped her tears. She turned around in Huo Shaoheng's arms and stood facing him. She didn't miss the flash of sadness in the depths of his eyes.
After being in the military for so many years, she had gone to the highest intelligence agencies in all major countries. When had Major General Huo of the Huaxia Empire ever given in?!
He was an iron-blooded man who wouldn't compromise even in a hail of bullets, but he had backed down to this extent in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi really felt guilty.
Wasn't she going too far?
Had she hurt Huo Shaoheng by being so resolute?
Huo Shaoheng looked intently at her in his arms. He pursed his lips and continued, "Give me some time. I'll get Big Xiong to pack my things tomorrow."
Gu Nianzhi looked down, her full lips moving. Finally, she whispered, "You can still come over in the future, just like Brother Xiong and Brother Ze."
At least she didn't insist on giving up the house …
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to coax the little girl.
He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek. "Ok, go take a shower now. I'll run the water for you?"
"Ok," Gu Nianzhi answered obediently. "I'll go get my clothes."
Huo Shaoheng went to the bathroom while Gu Nianzhi returned to the bedroom to find her pajamas.
She opened the closet and immediately saw the black T-shirt she had been using as pajamas. It was Huo Shaoheng's regular uniform from the army. A brand new stack was placed in the closet's compartment.
She grabbed one and a pair of underwear before going to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, the water was already filled. Huo Shaoheng half-knelt in front of the bathtub and added essential oil to the water.
Gu Nianzhi sniffed. It was her favorite Bulgarian rose essential oil.
Huo Shaoheng tested the water temperature and turned to see Gu Nianzhi standing at the bathroom door. She was still holding his long black T-shirt.
"It's done. You can take a shower." Huo Shaoheng stood up.
Gu Nianzhi stepped aside at the door and watched Huo Shaoheng walk out.
She breathed a sigh of relief again.
Luckily, Huo Shaoheng didn't make any further requests …
Gu Nianzhi closed the bathroom door with a smile and began to take a bath.
Huo Shaoheng returned to the study and checked his email. He then sent Yin Shixiong a message to tell him to pack his things tomorrow afternoon.
Today was Saturday, and tomorrow was Sunday. He still had the whole day.
The door to the study wasn't closed. After a while, he heard the bathroom door open and close.
Huo Shaoheng knew Gu Nianzhi was done.
He sat in the study and didn't move until Gu Nianzhi came to say goodnight. He then turned to look at her and said, "It's late. Go to bed."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled as she returned to her bedroom.
This was the first night she had spent in the house she had bought. It was truly a memorable day.
Gu Nianzhi returned to bed and pulled back the blankets to lie down.
The bed, blankets, and sheets were all the brands and models she was used to using in the Special Operations Forces. Therefore, she didn't feel like choosing a bed at all. Soon, her eyelids were heavy, and she fell asleep.
…
Gu Nianzhi woke up in the middle of the night from the fever.
She had a dream that she was sleeping next to a grill. In her dream, she kept fanning herself and muttering, "… Why is it so hot? Isn't it already the end of October? "
In the Imperial Capital, the end of October and the beginning of November was almost the day when central heating would be installed.
Finally, she woke up covered in sweat and found that there was an extra person in her bed. It was Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger.
How could this person be like this?!
They had already agreed, but he was going back on his word!
But when she saw what Huo Shaoheng was wearing, she was instantly speechless.
Because Huo Shaoheng hadn't changed his clothes. He was still wearing his military uniform. He was sleeping outside her blankets and hugging her tightly with the blankets.
No wonder she felt so hot …
But Huo Shaoheng's hands were a bit cold.
The air conditioner in the bedroom would automatically be lowered at night. Because he had to sleep with the blankets, the temperature would be the same as during the day.
Gu Nianzhi was fine with the blankets covering her, but Huo Shaoheng was only wearing a military shirt and trousers. It was still a bit cold at night.
Gu Nianzhi stared blankly at Huo Shaoheng's sleeping appearance.
His features were exquisite and had a kind of fierce handsomeness. He was especially attractive when he was silent.
Now that he was asleep, he didn't have the intimidating aura he had when he was awake, but he was even more handsome and extraordinary.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him for a while and reached out a slender finger to gently push him.
Huo Shaoheng didn't wake up.
Gu Nianzhi pushed him again, this time with more force.
Huo Shaoheng seemed to finally wake up. He didn't even open his eyes as he muttered, "Nianzhi, stop it." Then his hands lifted the blankets as if they had a mind of their own. He squeezed under the warm blankets and sighed with satisfaction.
Gu Nianzhi froze because the next moment, Huo Shaoheng had already hugged her in his arms and found a comfortable position.
Soon, she could hear his breathing even and gentle, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless and used her hand to push him again. "Huo Shao, go sleep in the study …"
"Stop it, I haven't slept for four days …" Huo Shaoheng mumbled again, then couldn't wake up at all.
Gu Nianzhi was just about to yell in his ear for him to leave, but when she heard this, she suddenly couldn't yell anymore.
He hadn't slept for four days …
He wasn't made of iron!
How could his body take it?
At this time, Gu Nianzhi was no longer worried that Huo Shaoheng would "go wild" and do something indescribable to her that she didn't want to.
She was only worried that she would wake up Huo Shaoheng's hard-won sleep.
So she obediently lay in Huo Shaoheng's arms, closed her eyes, and even slowed her breathing for fear of waking him.
After counting a few hundred sheep like this, Gu Nianzhi also fell asleep.
Not long after she fell asleep, Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes and stared fixedly at Gu Nianzhi. The corners of his mouth twitched, then he hugged her tightly with satisfaction and kissed the top of her head. He rested his cheek on her hair and really fell asleep.
He wasn't lying. He really hadn't slept for four days.
The German Federal Intelligence Service was retaliating against them, and only then did Huo Shaoheng realize that many of their things were actually in the hands of the Germans.
However, the Germans hadn't made a move yet, probably because they were waiting for an opportunity.
Huo Shaoheng spent a lot of effort to transfer all the Special Operations Forces field personnel out of Germany without any casualties.
He planned to wait for the news to die down before sending new people over.
Fortunately, the information Gu Nianzhi sent back gave them a deeper understanding of the German Federal Intelligence Service and made it easier to crack their passwords.
Of course, the Germans knew that their encrypted files had been stolen, so all the passwords were immediately changed. However, the principles behind their passwords didn't change.
Gu Nianzhi's achievement was no longer in getting them ready-made passwords, but in getting all the system files back for them.
Zhao Liangze led a 20-person cutting-edge technical team to deal with the millions of emails Gu Nianzhi had sent back day and night.
They needed to categorize, integrate, decipher, summarize, and then give the specific intelligence unit in charge to interpret and analyze.
None of these things could be done in a day or two.
However, for Huo Shaoheng, not sleeping for four days wasn't unbearable.
His highest record was not sleeping for seven days and seven nights.
…
On Sunday morning, the sun shone through the gauze curtains into Gu Nianzhi's bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to get up and wanted to go back to sleep.
She hugged the quilt and arched her body sideways in the quilt. Suddenly, she was hit by something hard behind her …
