"Okay, okay! Nianzhi, I'll be waiting for you to urge Huo Shao to find a girlfriend! Did you know, he's actually already … "
Yin Shixiong's tongue slipped and he almost blurted out that Huo Shao had already "lost his virginity."
But when he remembered that Gu Nianzhi was still a minor, he swallowed the words.
He had an indescribable feeling that if he told Gu Nianzhi about Huo Shao losing his virginity, Huo Shao would beat him to death!
Gu Nianzhi acutely caught onto Yin Shixiong's words and leaned towards him. Her large, dark eyes were focused on him, full of curiosity and a flash of slyness.
She asked in her sweetest and most charming voice, "Brother Xiong, what happened to Uncle Huo? You didn't finish … "
Yin Shixiong suddenly slammed on the accelerator and sped forward. Although Gu Nianzhi was wearing her seatbelt, she was thrown to the other side near the car door.
"Nianzhi, are you okay? There was a car passing by without turning on its lights just now. It gave me a fright … "Yin Shixiong hurriedly explained. He planned to get away with it quietly and hoped that Gu Nianzhi would forget his slip of the tongue in her shock.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't so easily dismissed.
She tilted her head to look at him and pointed at the display beside his steering wheel, "Brother Xiong, your car has an automatic detection system, how could you not know that a car was changing lanes?"
Yin Shixiong was speechless.
He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and freed a hand to rub Gu Nianzhi's head, smiling, "Little girl, don't be so sharp! You have to be soft, silly, and stupid, only then men will like you! "
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes internally and said exasperatedly, "Then Brother Xiong wants to find a soft, silly, and stupid girl as a girlfriend?"
Yin Shixiong silently fantasized about his future girlfriend.
A silly, silly, and stupid girl as a girlfriend?
Just thinking about it made him drunk …
Yin Shixiong smiled but didn't say anything. He pretended to be focused on driving.
Gu Nianzhi snorted, "Brother Xiong, why aren't you saying anything?"
Yin Shixiong looked left and right as he exited the highway and pointed to the surroundings, "Remember this place? You haven't been back in two years. "
Ever since she started university two years ago, she had left the base and moved to the penthouse in Fengya Precinct with Huo Shaoheng.
She thought of the apartment and said, "Oh, right. Brother Xiong, I want to transfer the apartment back to Uncle Huo's name. Can you help me with the paperwork?"
Yin Shixiong was astonished. "You don't want a house? Are you stupid?! "
"But that's Uncle Huo's, not mine. I've graduated, so I can find a job and earn enough money to buy a house. "Gu Nianzhi mustered up her courage and snuck a glance at Yin Shixiong before quickly looking away.
"Alright, alright. Just take it." Yin Shixiong stopped his car at the entrance of the encampment and took out his identification.
The guard at the gate checked and let them in.
Yin Shixiong continued to persuade Gu Nianzhi as he drove towards Huo Shaoheng's building. "Also, with Huo Shao's wealth, an apartment is a piece of cake. Don't be embarrassed."
"No matter how rich Uncle Huo is, he owns it. It has nothing to do with me." Gu Nianzhi looked down at the backpack on her knees and used her hand to pick at a little bunny ear hanging from her backpack.
Yin Shixiong saw that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't listen no matter what he said. He had no choice but to say, "But if you want to transfer it to Huo Shao's name, you have to get his signature. As long as you can convince Huo Shao. "
"… Why?" Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "But when Huo Shao transferred the apartment to me, he didn't ask me to sign it!"
Her expression suddenly became fervent. "Is it because the paperwork wasn't completed? So that means the apartment isn't mine yet? Haha, then I don't have to drive around. "
Yin Shixiong looked at her sympathetically. "Nianzhi, you're different from Huo Shao. Huo Shao can transfer the apartment to your name without your signature, but you can't transfer the apartment back to him without his signature. Do you understand? "
Gu Nianzhi understood the crux of the matter and was dealt a heavy blow.
Yin Shixiong stopped the car in front of Huo Shaoheng's building and came out to open the door for Gu Nianzhi. "We're here. Go in yourself."
Huo Shaoheng's building at the Special Operations Forces base in C City had a very high level of security.
Gu Nianzhi used to be within his security perimeter. Now that she hadn't been back for two years, he didn't know if she could still get in.
She walked to the metal door of the building with some apprehension and pressed her palm on the round display screen in the middle of the door.
The screen opened with a whoosh and began to read the data.
After a while, a gentle and standard female voice sounded from the speaker on the screen. "Welcome home."
The door slowly opened to both sides. It was all automatic.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and carried her backpack and suitcase inside.
The door closed behind her, and Yin Shixiong started the car and drove away.
Gu Nianzhi returned to the building she had lived in from the age of 12 to 16. She actually felt like she was returning home.
After all, her memories started from the age of 12, and it started from the burning car.
Walking into her bedroom on the third floor, Gu Nianzhi put down her suitcase and backpack and sat on her small bed in a daze.
The room was full of memories.
When she was 12, Huo Shaoheng, who was 22, became her guardian and brought her to the Special Operations Forces base.
In the beginning, she was too frightened and often woke up screaming in the dark at night. She couldn't sleep anymore.
Huo Shaoheng put her small bed in his bedroom and always had a warm yellow light on in front of the bed.
Gu Nianzhi later heard from Chen Lie that Huo Shaoheng used to be a light sleeper and couldn't sleep at all, but he changed for her.
As soon as she woke up screaming from nightmares at night, he would immediately come to her bed to accompany her.
Every time she opened her eyes, she would see Huo Shaoheng's silent face and dark, concerned eyes. Only then would she feel safe and be able to sleep peacefully again.
It wasn't until a year later when her night terrors improved that she moved her small bed back to her bedroom, which was the room opposite his.
He knew she was timid and afraid of the dark, so as long as she slept, his door would always be open and there would always be a light on.
From her bedroom, she could see the warm yellow light in the opposite room. She felt very warm and safe, and could also sleep well.
Gu Nianzhi walked to her closet and half-squatted to open the bottom drawer.
Although she hadn't lived here for two years, it was still full of sanitary pads that she was used to …
When she was 14, Gu Nianzhi had her first period.
Huo Shaoheng asked Yin Shixiong to buy various brands of sanitary pads and put them in her room to see which brand consumed the fastest. In the future, she would only buy that brand.
Later, the imported brands were no longer available in the Hua Xia Empire, so Huo Shaoheng asked someone to buy them overseas and send them over for a year each time.
The bottom drawer of the closet was still the brand she was used to.
Gu Nianzhi reached out and slid her hand over the sanitary pads one by one. Sighing, she closed the drawer.
Returning to her familiar place, she quickly felt sleepy. She yawned and went back to her small bed to sleep.
She slept peacefully until noon the next day. Gu Nianzhi didn't want to get up, so she reached for the bedside table and grabbed her phone. She instinctively called Huo Shaoheng.
