"Are you having a nightmare?" An orderly who was following behind muttered in a low voice, feeling a little weird.
They have been serving as orderlies in Huo Zhai for many years, and this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.
There are extremely strict security measures inside and outside this house. No outsiders have ever broken in. How could a woman suddenly break through their defenses
Gu Nianzhi walked to his bed in a daze, lifted up only one corner of the quilt, and found that the sheets were as smooth as if no one had slept on them...
She knew something in her mind, and turned back to look at Huo Shaoheng with a serious face: "Uncle Huo, do you believe me?"
"I believe it." Huo Shaoheng stood at the door of the bedroom with his hands behind his back. He did not go to Gu Nianzhi's bed, but walked to the south wall of the bedroom where the floor-length curtains were hung.
Lifting a corner of the curtain, Huo Shaoheng put on the handle of the floor-to-ceiling window and pushed it open a crack.
The cold wind and flying snow immediately rushed into the bedroom.
"The window is not closed." Huo Shaoheng looked back at the orderlies, "Who cleaned up this room today?"
The orderlies shook their heads: "Report to the leader, these are all taken care of by the servants, we don't do this."
They are only responsible for the daily safety of two military figures in the Huo family, Huo Xuenong, the retired former vice-chairman of the military, and his son Huo Guanchen, the current director of the political department of the military. The meals these two people eat are cooked by specialized orderlies. , we don’t eat in the same pot as the rest of the Huo family.
Now that Huo Shaoheng is back, of course there is one more service target for these orderlies.
Gu Nianzhi is not a member of the military, so her affairs should be taken care of by the servants of the Huo family.
Huo Shaoheng turned to look out the window. He remembered that there was a row of wrought iron street lamps along the flowerbeds and gardens, which were as bright as day at night. Therefore, the curtains in Huo Zhai's room must have a very strict light-blocking effect.
But now all the street lights outside are out.
This is not an ordinary thing.
"Why are the street lights outside gone?" Huo Shaoheng silently closed the window, locked it, then lowered the curtains and looked back at the orderlies.
The leading orderly turned pale, and he did not notice the problem.
The small apartment where Gu Nianzhi lives is a long-vacant corner of Huo's house. No one has lived in it for more than ten years.
This time, because Huo Shaoheng temporarily ordered someone to call back and say that he was going home for the New Year, the Huo family hurriedly packed up.
The streetlight outside this suite is not an important location, so it doesn't matter whether it's off or on.
But today is different.
"... Chief, what do you mean, someone came in through the floor-to-ceiling window?" The leading orderly hurriedly put his feet together and saluted, "I'm going to find someone to repair the street lamp."
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand, as if he didn't want to pursue it, "We will repair it tomorrow. Lock this place and no one is allowed to come near."
"Yes, Chief."
Huo Shaoheng walked to Gu Nianzhi and said, "Pack your things and go live with me."
Gu Nianzhi got what he wanted, so he hurried to the bathroom, put his toiletries back in the suitcase, and followed Huo Shaoheng out.
Huo Shaoheng walked a few steps and heard the sound of her slippers clicking and the sound of the suitcase dragging on the ground. He turned around and took the suitcase from her hand. He held her hand with his other hand and led her away. Enter your suite.
The door to the suite slammed shut, and of course the orderlies did not follow.
They discussed it and sent a few people to guard the door of the bedroom where Gu Nianzhi had just lived, not allowing anyone to come near.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed him into the apartment where Huo Shaoheng lived, and then he had time to look around.
She was carried in by Huo Shaoheng just now and went directly to Huo Shaoheng's master bedroom before she had time to take a closer look.
"What are you looking at instead of going to bed?" Huo Shaoheng pointed to his bedroom, "You sleep there, I'll sleep next."
His suite has three bedrooms and two living rooms, including a master bedroom with bathroom, two secondary bedrooms that share a bathroom, a spacious living room as a living room, and a well-equipped study room.
Gu Nianzhi refused, lowered his head and followed Huo Shaoheng, whispering: "Uncle Huo, do you really believe me?"
"Well, let's go to bed first. We have something to talk about tomorrow." Seeing that she was not moving, Huo Shaoheng picked up her suitcase with one hand and held her arm with the other, carrying it to his master bedroom.
Putting down the suitcase, he took Gu Nianzhi to his big bed, "Don't think about it, just go to sleep."
"But I really saw it. It wasn't a dream." Gu Nianzhi raised his head and grabbed Huo Shaoheng's wrist, "...and after I ran out, someone entered my bedroom."
"how do you know?"
"Because the sheets are too flat." Gu Nianzhi was still trembling and spoke intermittently, "... I got up from bed all at once and didn't even look back to straighten the sheets. But when I went in just now, Uncle Huo also saw it, The quilt was neatly put up and one corner was lifted, but I remember I got up in a hurry and dragged half of the quilt to the ground when I ran out."
Huo Shaoheng kept looking at her and listening to her quietly. His dark eyes were as bright as jade, and he seemed to understand everything, but maybe he didn't care about anything.
After she finished speaking, Huo Shaoheng reached over her body, bent down and shook off the quilt on his bed. He saw some messy wrinkles on his bed sheets. Yes, this was the look of someone who had gotten up in a hurry.
Gu Nianzhi's bed should indeed have been made again.
Huo Shaoheng calmly put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt, "Be good, go to sleep."
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to close her eyes and felt Huo Shaoheng leave the master bedroom, turn off the light at the door, and go out.
After he left, Gu Nianzhi opened his eyes in the darkness.
If she sleeps alone, she is used to having a night light on.
She couldn't sleep alone in complete darkness.
She rolled around in bed for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.
And still a little scared.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't understand why he encountered such a thing on the first night at Huo's house.
She recalled the appearance of the woman in white robe over and over again, and she always felt that she looked familiar.
She has a very good memory, almost a photographic memory.
She had just caught a glimpse in the dim light, and she still firmly remembered some typical features of the woman.
For example, her eyes were long and narrow phoenix eyes with very thick eyelashes, because she remembered that when she lowered her eyes and looked at her, her eyes seemed to have eyeliner.
Her nose is tall and delicate, with the smoothest lines.
The lips were beautifully shaped, and the skin color should be very, very white, because under such dim light, Gu Nianzhi felt that the woman was as white as snow, so beautiful that it made people speechless.
There seemed to be a timid look on his face, but also curiosity.
When she reached out, didn't she mean to have any ill intentions toward her
Gu Nianzhi turned over again in bed and couldn't sleep anymore.
Finally he sat up, beat the bed helplessly, and then held his hair in a daze.
Huo Shaoheng did not fall asleep in the second bedroom.
He could hear any noise next door because he didn't close the door.
Finally he heard the sound of Gu Nianzhi beating the bed, and he couldn't sleep anymore. He opened the quilt and got up, went to his master bedroom and turned on the light. He saw Gu Nianzhi sitting on the bed with his legs in his arms and his head between his knees.
When Gu Nianzhi noticed someone coming in, he immediately raised his head alertly. The lights turned on immediately, and Huo Shaoheng had already walked over from the door of the master bedroom.
"Can't sleep? Choose a bed?" Huo Shaoheng sat on the edge of the bed, and the mattress sank deeply. Gu Nianzhi felt that his center of gravity was about to lose balance.
She moved towards Huo Shaoheng and murmured: "The room is too dark..."
Both the ceiling lamp and the bedside lamp in Huo Shaoheng's master bedroom are very bright, and there is no dim night light specially used at night.
Gu Nianzhi fell asleep in the suite over there just now because he was tired and sleepy, but he fell into a dream not long after he slept.
But now that she has been making trouble for a long time, she is almost awake.
"I'll ask someone to buy a night light tomorrow." Huo Shaoheng lifted the quilt and said, "Go to sleep."
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to slip under the quilt again and looked at Huo Shaoheng helplessly: "...then don't leave, okay?"
