Gu Nianzhi was not used to physical contact with strangers, and couldn't bear even holding hands.
When I first went to University C to study and live in the dormitory, it took half a year for me and my roommates to get to know each other well.
It was for the sake of Huo Shaoheng that Gu Nianzhi resisted not taking his hand out of Zhang Wenna's hand when they met for the first time.
However, Huo Shaoheng knew these unknown "quirks" of hers very well. He stood next to Gu Nianzhi, took her hand out, nodded slightly to Zhang Wenna, and asked Zhang Wenna's mother Qian Shihui: "Aunt Zhang, Is Nianzhi’s room ready?”
The tone was very polite and courteous.
Qian Shihui hurriedly smiled and said: "My eldest son, your room and Miss Gu's room were decorated by Miss Jialan herself. They have been prepared a long time ago." As she said that, she looked around and said, "Where is Miss Jialan?" ?Didn’t you just say that we would go together to pick up the young master?”
Huo Shaoheng's grandfather, Huo Xuenong, stood up on crutches and glanced at Huo Shaoheng with a frown, but said nothing, but the look on his face was not very good.
Zhang Wenna looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully and marveled at her appearance. Of course, what was even more amazing was Huo Shaoheng's attitude towards her.
She knew that her eldest cousin Huo Shaoheng had been out on missions for the past six years. It was said that he adopted a little orphan girl who was rescued from a car accident. She should be this Miss Gu Nianzhi.
And judging from the posture at the door just now, Huo Shaoheng must be very fond of this little orphan girl, otherwise he would not tie a scarf for her with his own hands.
Zhang Wenna lowered her eyes.
She will never forget that when she and her brother first came to Huo's house when she was a child, Huo Shaoheng not only didn't look at them, but also didn't allow any of them to come within three feet of him. Except for the two old servants at home, no one else was allowed. Anyone who touches his things will be kicked out by him, life or death...
The eldest cousin at that time was a terrifying existence like a devil in the eyes of her and her younger brother.
It wasn't until he was admitted to the military academy at the age of sixteen and joined the army and left home that he restrained himself a lot.
But when he came back for vacation every year, he still didn't allow others to touch his things, not even the two old servants. He would rather wash clothes and clean the house by himself than let anyone set foot in his room.
Later, when he was a junior in college, he secretly enlisted in the army. He had no idea what he was doing in the army. He only knew that his military rank was getting higher and higher, and his official position was getting bigger and bigger. In ten years, he was promoted from second lieutenant to major general. He was in the army of the entire Chinese Empire. This is also the first time in history.
Of course, the higher my cousin's official rank is, the more calm and calm he becomes. All the quirks he had before are gone, and he can't fault anything in his way of dealing with others.
But Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie, who had been with him for many years, could still easily feel the slight sense of unfamiliarity and distance.
Therefore, his concern and praise for Gu Nianzhi, an orphan girl, was very shocking to the Zhang family.
They used to think that the reason why Huo Shaoheng didn't want to see them was because he looked down on their status, but now that Gu Nianzhi, who had a status far inferior to theirs, was in front of him, Huo Shaoheng didn't mean to look down on her at all.
Not only did he not mean to look down on her, but he also took good care of her.
Six years of being a guardian has really made my eldest cousin change a lot.
Zhang Wenna thought with emotion, and was about to take Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi to the room prepared for them when she heard rapid footsteps coming from the stairs.
A woman with a curvy figure and a face as gorgeous as a peony hurried down the stairs.
"Cousin, are you back?" She was wearing a lotus-colored cashmere cardigan, a silk shirt collar with a bow tie, a dark gray thin woolen skirt, and even the slippers on her feet were with heels. She walked gracefully. , and soon stood in front of Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi.
Mr. Huo's expression softened a lot. He walked over with a cane, "Jialan, what are you doing?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what to call him, so he turned to look at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng squeezed her hand to tell her not to panic and introduced: "This is my uncle's daughter Huo Jialan. Just call her Aunt Lan."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help lowering his head, twitching the corners of his mouth, and secretly thought to himself, Aunt Lan, how about calling that woman ten years older!
The beauty, who was clearly in her twenties, was younger than Huo Shaoheng, but she was promoted to a higher level by Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Jialan was also a little embarrassed. She rubbed her hands and said to Mr. Huo: "Grandpa, it's time to go to bed. It's already two or three in the middle of the night. Have you taken your medicine?"
Mr. Huo's attitude towards Huo Jialan was obviously much better than towards Huo Shaoheng. He nodded, "It's time to go to bed, so I'll go first. You can help settle Shao Heng and the others. It's too late. We'll talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."
Huo Jialan agreed with a smile, called two orderlies over, and helped Mr. Huo to the second floor.
Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, glanced at Huo Jialan and asked, "Did you go to the third floor just now?"
Huo Jialan nodded hurriedly, looking nervous: "Something happened, so I went up to clean it up. I didn't expect that I missed my cousin's return."
Huo Guanchen frowned tightly and waved his hand, "Help them settle, Shao Heng, you come up with me first." After saying that, he glanced at Huo Shaoheng and hurried upstairs.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at the location of the stairs, turned to Zhao Liangze and said, "Leave the suitcase and take them back to the station."
Zhao Liangze quickly put his feet together and saluted, then handed the suitcase to Gu Nianzhi, nodded to her, and turned around to go out.
Huo Shaoheng patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder, "You and Aunt Lan go to the guest room. I'll go and talk to my father first."
Except for official business, father and son had not sat together and talked for six years.
Gu Nianzhi said hurriedly: "Uncle Huo, go quickly, I'll just go with... Aunt Lan."
"Be good." Huo Shaoheng touched her head and followed her upstairs.
Gu Nianzhi keenly noticed that Huo Shaoheng's steps up the stairs were a bit urgent. Although others seemed to be very steady and calm, to Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng's every move was already familiar to her, so she could feel every change. .
However, she felt that it was normal for the father and son to be a little agitated after not seeing each other for six years. This made Huo Shaoheng more like a flesh-and-blood person rather than a cold war machine.
The four members of the Zhang family said goodbye to Gu Nianzhi and followed Huo Shaoheng upstairs.
Huo Jialan kept looking at Gu Nianzhi carefully, and saw that her eyes were lingering on Huo Shaoheng's figure. He came over and took her hand affectionately, "Your name is Nianzhi, right? What a good name. Come with me, I am Huo Jialan. My father is my eldest cousin’s uncle, but I am younger than my eldest cousin, and my eldest cousin is the eldest in our family.”
Gu Nianzhi calmly picked up the suitcase, broke away from Huo Jialan's hand, and said with a smile: "Merry Christmas Aunt Lan, thank you for your hard work Aunt Lan, where is the guest room?"
Huo Jialan smiled, pointed to the stairs and said, "Go up that way. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang and I live on the second floor. The old man and his second uncle live on the third floor. Half of the first floor is the guest room and half is for the cousin. house."
After saying that, she led Gu Nianzhi through the incredibly spacious living room, to the corridor on the left side of the living room, turned a corner, and came to the door of a small suite.
Opening the door, Gu Nianzhi saw that the room was filled with pink decorations, and he couldn't help but have three black lines fall on his forehead.
Why do these people think that all girls should wear pink and princess colors? ! That’s enough…
But she only dared to complain in her heart, still with a sweet smile on her face, and said: "There is Aunt Lauran."
Huo Jialan chuckled and said: "Don't call me Aunt Lan, just call me Sister Lan. Aunt Lan makes me ten years older!"
Gu Nianzhi laughed as well, she thought so too, and she immediately felt close to this Huo Jialan.
