After the boy left, Gu Nianzhi put on the other Bluetooth earpiece.
Huo Shaoheng listened quietly for a long time before asking, "You're going to the ball this weekend?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi answered easily.
"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve," Huo Shaoheng said, his thoughts drifting back to last year's Christmas Eve.
He thought of her sitting alone at the bus stop in the middle of the night.
It had been snowing that day, and he had taken a military plane from C City to pick her up …
It seemed like it had happened yesterday, but it had already been a year.
Gu Nianzhi's long legs kicked off, and she got on her bike again. She asked Huo Shaoheng nonchalantly, "Yes, what's wrong with Christmas Eve? I thought Huo Shao didn't like foreign holidays? Oh right, did you need me for something? "
It seemed like she knew him well.
"Only if I need you?" Huo Shaoheng asked with a smile as he drove in the direction of Gu Nianzhi's school. "Did you forget that I'm pursuing you?"
"Oh, I see." Gu Nianzhi curled her lips, and her dark eyes curved. "Good luck, Huo Shao!"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng could almost imagine Gu Nianzhi's sweet and playful smile. Her plump lips must be curved upwards, as if she was tempting him to kiss her …
His throat immediately felt dry.
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly. "You don't have class in the afternoon, so I'll pick you up to the new house?"
The "new house" he was referring to was the second-hand house Gu Nianzhi had bought. It was in the Hepingli District near her school.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Although she didn't have class, she still had to study!
Gu Nianzhi didn't respond.
Huo Shaoheng waited a while before saying, "I was watching the Senate vote yesterday and started working as soon as I got home. I haven't eaten yet."
Gu Nianzhi sighed, thinking that Huo Shaoheng wasn't having it easy. Her voice softened. "Then go eat. Why are you looking for me? I don't know how to cook. "
"Come to the new house. I'll make Spanish seafood fried rice for you."
Huo Shaoheng remembered that Gu Nianzhi liked it, but it was more troublesome to make it authentic. It required a special condiment, saffron.
Saffron was known as the most expensive condiment on the Blue Planet. Of course, this was based on unit value, and there were also good and bad ones. The saffron sold on the market was of average quality.
Coincidentally, Huo Shaoheng had a field agent bring him saffron from Iran. The quality was excellent.
Iran was the origin of saffron and the largest producer of saffron in the world.
Although Gu Nianzhi liked Spanish seafood fried rice, she didn't like to eat onions. However, onions were an essential ingredient in the Spanish seafood fried rice sold in restaurants and hotels.
Only Huo Shaoheng had once figured out a way to make authentic Spanish seafood fried rice without onions.
The method was more complicated, and he had been busy with work in the past. He had only done it for Gu Nianzhi four times in six years.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't forget these four times.
As expected, Gu Nianzhi hesitated.
Huo Shaoheng continued, "Bring your homework and computer over. I'll cook, and you can continue studying."
Isn't this better? Both sides won't hold up?
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything, but she was already a little tempted.
Huo Shaoheng made the decision for her. "I'm already driving over. I'll pick you up right away."
Gu Nianzhi finally agreed and said, "Then I'll be back after eating. I don't need to bring homework."
Huo Shaoheng smiled without saying anything. He hung up and drove over.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to the dorm and saw Ma Qiqi watching TV in the living room with a face mask on.
"Qiqi, do you know there's a Christmas party in class tomorrow?" Gu Nianzhi asked as she put down her bag and changed her shoes.
Ma Qiqi nodded. "I know." She continued, "They looked for me and wanted me to tell you that they invited you, but I thought you must have a date on the weekend, so I didn't tell you. What's wrong? Did they still look for you? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile and sat on the sofa. She poked Ma Qiqi's arm. "Yes, they looked for me. But how can I have a date on the weekend? You're the one who has a date, right? "
Ma Qiqi was happy as soon as she thought about it. She happily leaned over to Gu Nianzhi and whispered, "Brother Xiong asked me to go out tomorrow. We're going to spend Christmas Eve together!"
"We're going to spend the night together?" Gu Nianzhi purposely misinterpreted Ma Qiqi's words. "Do you want me to buy you two sets of sexy lingerie?"
Ma Qiqi was speechless.
"Nianzhi! How can you say something that's not appropriate for children?! " Ma Qiqi suddenly grabbed Gu Nianzhi's ear. Of course, she didn't use any strength. She only pretended to be angry and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Gu Nianzhi pushed her hand away with a smile and escaped from the sofa. "What's wrong? Are you blushing? Oh right, are you and Brother Xiong committed? "
"He said he wants me to be his girlfriend." Ma Qiqi was a bit shy. "But we haven't really spent time together yet. You know, they're all so busy …"
"Yes, I know." Gu Nianzhi looked at Ma Qiqi and felt like she was seeing herself in the past. "Qiqi, I've been through it. Let me give you a piece of advice from the bottom of my heart. If you really love Brother Xiong and Brother Xiong loves you back, you must cherish the time you spend together. Although they're very busy and can't spend much time with you, one hour with them is equivalent to a month or even a year with someone else. "
But if the other person didn't love enough, then every minute and second they spent together was torture.
Ma Qiqi was stunned and only said after a while, "Nianzhi, you're talking about yourself, right?"
Gu Nianzhi laughed and smoothed her hair before turning to walk back to her dorm. "Of course not. I'm talking about you. You have to be mentally prepared to date Brother Xiong. "
Gu Nianzhi walked to her dorm room to wash her face and reapply cream.
She opened the closet and saw the red Hermes Berline bag Huo Shaoheng had bought for her. She took it out and put her phone, wallet, and keys inside.
Not long after, she heard her phone ring. It was Huo Shaoheng coming to pick her up.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door and said to Ma Qiqi in the living room, "I have something to do and need to go out. Don't wait for me for dinner tonight."
"Got it." Ma Qiqi waved at her. "I'm going out with Brother Xiong early tomorrow morning. I won't say goodbye."
Gu Nianzhi stayed up all night to study and revise her thesis. She would definitely sleep in tomorrow, and Ma Qiqi was already used to her routine.
Gu Nianzhi waved back and opened the dorm door to go down.
Huo Shaoheng's low-key silver Bentley SUV was parked not far from the dorm.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and knocked on the window. She smiled and waved at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door to let her in and quickly drove out.
"You didn't bring your homework and computer?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi and saw she was only carrying a small bag.
Fortunately, she had daily necessities and a change of clothes. Otherwise, Huo Shaoheng wouldn't even be able to keep her for the night seeing her like this …
Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and smiled mischievously. "A phone is enough. Why would I need a computer?"
Huo Shaoheng didn't look at her. He turned the steering wheel and drove into the parking lot of the Hepingli District.
When she got out of the car, she saw that Huo Shaoheng was still carrying his briefcase. She couldn't help but sympathize with him. "… You still have to work overtime?"
"Tomorrow is the weekend. I'm worried that something might happen, so it's more convenient to bring it with me," Huo Shaoheng said vaguely as he entered the elevator with her.
The room facing the elevator door was the second-hand house Gu Nianzhi had bought.
Huo Shaoheng swiped the key card to open the door and entered with Gu Nianzhi.
Throwing the briefcase onto the sofa, he took off his coat and hung it up. Rolling up his sleeves, he said, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare. Do you want to rest?"
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and tossed her bag onto the sofa. "I'll help you."
"Eh? Why do you want to learn how to cook? " Huo Shaoheng was very surprised. In the past, Gu Nianzhi had learned it a few times, but her cooking was still passable, so she stopped going into the kitchen.
"I can't always eat what you cook, right?" Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. "It's better to learn on my own. Whenever I want to eat, I can make it myself."
Her words sounded a little awkward.
Huo Shaoheng patted her head. His voice was deep and had a rare hint of sensuality. "As long as you want to eat, I'll always make it for you."
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head but smiled without saying anything.
Who knew what would happen in the future?
It was better to learn how to cook on her own.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her deeply and understood what she was thinking.
Did she think that if she didn't say it, he wouldn't know?

The more monthly votes my dear friends vote, the more chapters I'll get. Isn't this a virtuous cycle?
PS: I'm conflicted like this every day.
"Should I ask for monthly votes?"
"Why don't I ask for it? I'm tired of asking for it every chapter … "
"But I won't forget to ask for it!"
"So asking for monthly votes is just a reminder."
"Then I'll ask for it …"
Looking at the monthly votes again, I'll definitely ask for it ~ ~ monthly votes ~ ~ ~
