"Two girlfriends?!" Zhao Liangze wanted to cry out, "I haven't even settled one yet, how can I have two girlfriends?! Huo Shao, don't talk nonsense! How can I be human if others find out?! "
He was two-timing, and now he was labeled as a "scumbag." He could forget about being with his sweetheart ever again!
"Huo Shao! The brilliant, mighty, and unparalleled Huo Shao, please don't slap me in the face! " Zhao Liangze bowed to Huo Shaoheng, wanting to prostrate himself to show his complete repentance and surrender.
He was completely subdued by Huo Shaoheng and didn't dare to cause trouble again.
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips, "Isn't that the case? Little Ze, maybe you're confused by the situation, but I'm a bystander. "
Zhao Liangze wanted to sew his mouth shut.
Huo Shaoheng remembered every word that he and Yin Shixiong had said to Huo Shaoheng and Nianzhi back then. Now he was taking the opportunity to slap them in the face!
"Okay, think carefully about which one you like. I don't care how many girlfriends you have in Africa, but you can only have one when you're back in the Hua Xia Empire. "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Zhao Liangze meaningfully.
Zhao Liangze suddenly felt uncomfortable. He felt like he had become bait, or like the peach in "two peaches kill three men" …
"Huo Shao, we have to be clear about this." Zhao Liangze's mind inadvertently flashed with Bai Shuang's red eyes from crying, "What do you mean? Work is work, and feelings are feelings. I know how to differentiate. "
"I don't mean anything. It's best if you can differentiate, but it's okay if you can't. Africa is so far away anyway, so there's not much you can do even if you fail. What I don't see, I don't grieve over. "Huo Shaoheng waved his hand," Go, don't come to say goodbye tomorrow. I'll wait for your Spring Festival message from Africa. I'll help you read the overseas congratulatory telegram at the Spring Festival Gala. "
Huo Shaoheng curled his lips into a half-smile.
Zhao Liangze imagined the awkward overseas congratulatory telegram and video call at the Spring Festival Gala and shuddered, "Huo Shao, spare me! Don't you feel embarrassed! "
He turned to leave, determined not to contact Huo Shao again before he settled in Africa.
Who knew how many more pitfalls were waiting for him!
After Zhao Liangze left, Huo Shaoheng sat behind his desk for a while before standing up and pacing around the office with his arms crossed.
Looking at the sky outside the window, it was already late at night.
He looked at his watch. It was ten minutes to 12. He wondered if Nianzhi had gone back yet.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it for a while, then put on his Bluetooth headset and called Gu Nianzhi.
…
Gu Nianzhi walked He Zhichu to the B University professor's building.
"Professor He, are you alright? Drink some honey water when you get back. It will help you get over the hangover. " Gu Nianzhi was a bit worried about He Zhichu's condition. She kept feeling that he was a bit absent-minded. She wasn't sure if it was because he had too much to drink or because he was in a bad mood.
She looked down to see He Zhichu's slender and clean fingers on the black car door handle. She murmured, "Professor He, I didn't mean to hide it from you …"
He Zhichu turned to look at her, his shimmering, sultry eyes flashing. "Yeah, then you have to tell me if anything happens in the future. I'm different from Huo Shaoheng. I won't scold you. Whatever you want to do, I'll help you achieve it. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and lowered her head even more. "… Professor He, it's not good for you to be like this. You'll spoil me …"
"How could that be?" He Zhichu laughed. His voice was as gentle and warm as the spring breeze. "My little Nianzhi can't be spoiled no matter how much I spoil her. I know that."
Such an affectionate tone and unabashed attitude made Gu Nianzhi's scalp tingle. The high wall she had built in her heart was actually in danger of collapsing.
She closed her eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt more and more familiar with He Zhichu.
Could it really be as He Zhichu had said, that she had known him since she was very young?
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but want to touch the forbidden areas in her memory again. She wanted to break through the haze and see the hidden truth.
But as usual, she couldn't remember anything no matter how hard she tried.
The fire when she was 12 seemed to have burned away her past. Not a speck of dust remained.
He Zhichu saw that Gu Nianzhi's eyes were half-closed. In the dim car lights, her face was pale.
"… Are you thinking about the past again?" He Zhichu held her hand and found that her palms were sweaty. His heart ached as he wiped her hands with a tissue. "Don't think about it anymore. The past is the past. I don't even care about it anymore. What are you thinking about?"
Gu Nianzhi's eyelashes fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes. It wasn't that she wasn't disappointed, but she didn't want to add to He Zhichu's psychological burden.
She quietly leaned against the steering wheel. After a while, she said, "Professor He …"
"I said I'm no longer your professor." He Zhichu finally couldn't help but correct her again.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "But I like to call you Professor He. It's very intimate and considerate. Like a relative."
He Zhichu was speechless.
He opened the car door and got out without a word. He closed the door and walked to the lobby of the professor's building without looking back.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. She locked the car door and drove to her apartment in the Hepingli District.
It was almost midnight. The B University campus was quiet. Most of the students had already gone home for the winter break. A few people stayed to study or work.
But at this time, most people were already asleep.
Gu Nianzhi yawned and also felt a bit sleepy.
As soon as she drove out of the south gate of B University, she heard Huo Shaoheng's personal ringtone.
She put on her Bluetooth headset and answered the call.
"… Huo Shao?"
Her voice was a bit hoarse and carried a sense of lethargy.
Huo Shaoheng froze. "… Still outside?"
He thought he could hear the sound of the wind, but it was actually his imagination.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the car with the windows down. Where did the wind come from?
Gu Nianzhi grunted. "I just sent Professor He back to the professor's building."
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and deliberately ignored what Gu Nianzhi said. He said directly, "Did Professor He invite you to his house for the New Year this year?"
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. "… Why would he invite me to his house for the New Year?"
"Ha …" Huo Shaoheng laughed and said calmly, "Didn't he want to pursue you? Isn't it perfect to take you home to meet his parents during the New Year? "
His tone was very normal, so it was impossible for Gu Nianzhi to detect any jealousy in it.
Huo Shaoheng had deliberately not mentioned celebrating the New Year with Gu Nianzhi this year because he was observing He Zhichu's reaction and whether he would take the opportunity to take Gu Nianzhi back to his house.
Of course, the result was beyond his expectations.
He Zhichu had gone back for the New Year, but he had gone alone and did not take Gu Nianzhi home.
"Ha ha, Huo Shao is overthinking it. Professor He is not Brother Xiong in a hurry to take his girlfriend home …" Gu Nianzhi sneered and turned the steering wheel to the main road in front of the Hepingli District.
After a short drive, they entered the Hepingli District.
Huo Shaoheng was about to continue the conversation when he suddenly remembered something and immediately stopped talking about why He Zhichu did not take Gu Nianzhi home to meet his parents. He quietly changed the topic. "Nianzhi, how do you plan to spend the New Year this year?"
Gu Nianzhi had always spent the New Year with Huo Shaoheng in the past. Now that they were still broken up, she was too embarrassed to mention spending the New Year with Huo Shaoheng.
Especially since Huo Shaoheng did not seem to have any intention of inviting her.
Gu Nianzhi parked the car in the parking lot. After turning off the lights, she looked around to make sure there was no one else in the parking lot before opening the door and getting out. She carried her small bag into the elevator and said dryly, "I'm spending it alone. I finally graduated and became independent, so of course I have to enjoy the New Year by myself."
Huo Shaoheng walked to the balcony and placed both hands on the railing. He thought for a while and said, "I have to be on duty during the New Year. Why don't you come to the base and spend it with me?"
"Ha …" Gu Nianzhi took out her key card and opened the door. She shook her head and refused. "No need. You can't be distracted when you're on duty. I'm fine by myself. I still want to go on a trip during the New Year! "
Huo Shaoheng heard that she had already entered the house and nodded. "Ok, then we'll talk about it when the time comes." He hung up.
Gu Nianzhi threw her small bag on the sofa and lay down for a while.
After a tiring day, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Gu Nianzhi did not even have time to wash up before falling asleep on the sofa.
She slept soundly and didn't wake up until noon the next day.
She habitually took out her phone and saw that He Zhichu had already called her a few times. She had missed all of them. He Zhichu left her a message saying that he had already taken his private plane back to the United States. He told her to enjoy the New Year and not to run around. He also told her to remember to call his personal number if anything happened.
Then, Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong happily went to Yin Shixiong's hometown to celebrate the New Year with his parents.
Gu Nianzhi found it funny when she saw their messages. Her mood immediately improved.
For the next few days, she lived a very fulfilling life.
She cleaned every corner of the house and went to the flower market to buy a lot of New Year's flowers to decorate her room.
She also bought a lot of ingredients and put them in the fridge. She planned to cook New Year's Eve dinner alone this year.
However, her plan did not succeed.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, she was startled awake by a knock on the door.
She put on her sleeping robe and looked at the screen to see that it was Song Jinning standing at the door.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door in surprise. "Auntie Song, why are you here? It's New Year's Eve today! "
Song Jinning looked at her with a smile and pushed her into the bathroom. "Quick, take a shower and get changed. We're going to the new house I bought. Nianzhi, I'm all alone. I don't even have anyone to spend New Year's with. Do something good and spend New Year's with me, okay? "
