Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi for a while without blinking.
The bedroom was so quiet that it was almost eerie.
Gu Nianzhi blinked, and finally couldn't stand Huo Shaoheng's gaze, so he had to look away, looking at the floor-to-ceiling curtains on the south wall, and murmured: "... You also have floor-to-ceiling windows here? I'm afraid... "
Huo Shaoheng turned his head and glanced, then turned back to tuck the quilt into her, "That window is bulletproof glass, don't be afraid."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
He closed his eyes in frustration and stopped talking.
But a hand quietly reached out from the quilt and grasped the corner of Huo Shaoheng's pajamas.
Huo Shaoheng felt it as soon as he stood up. He looked down at the white and tender little hand. After a while, he took her hand and put it back under the quilt. "I'm not leaving. I'm sleeping on the sofa."
Huo Shaoheng's master bedroom was larger than the bedroom in Gu Nianzhi's small suite. There was not only a desk but also a very large sofa opposite the bed.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, quietly opened his eyes, and watched Huo Shaoheng go to the second bedroom next door and bring a quilt and pillow, put them on the sofa, then turned off the light, and fell down to sleep.
With Huo Shaoheng accompanying him in the bedroom, Gu Nianzhi's nervousness quickly disappeared.
Drowsiness hit her like a mountain, and she almost fell asleep with her head tilted.
Huo Shaoheng looked in Gu Nianzhi's direction on the sofa, his eyes deep and obscure. It took him a long time to close his eyes and fall asleep.
…
The next morning, Huo Shaoheng woke up at seven o'clock.
He is used to getting up at six o'clock, but he went to bed late yesterday and slept for an extra hour.
He took his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up and shower. When he came out, he saw Gu Nianzhi sleeping soundly under the quilt.
Her face was flushed, unnaturally red.
Huo Shaoheng was moved and reached out to touch Gu Nianzhi's forehead and found that she indeed had a fever.
Thinking of the unlocked floor-to-ceiling window in Gu Nianzhi's bedroom yesterday, Huo Shaoheng knew that Gu Nianzhi must have caught a cold at that time, and then got frightened, so he couldn't bear it and had a fever.
Gu Nianzhi rarely gets sick, and usually gets over a fever on his own.
Huo Shaoheng rarely asked her to take medicine. He just called Chen Zhen and asked him how high the fever would be if she needed to be sent to the hospital.
Chen Zhi was surprised that Gu Nianzhi fell ill when he went to Huo's house, and said quickly: "Others would have been sent to the hospital if the temperature was 39 degrees, but it is possible for Gu Nian to survive to 40 degrees."
"Nonsense." Huo Shaoheng retorted, "When the fever reaches 40 degrees, even if you can carry someone, you will be confused. You, a Mongolian doctor, should really go back to the drawing board and rebuild your body."
Chen Chen hated it when others questioned his professionalism. When he heard this, he became furious and rolled up his sleeves to start a fight with Huo Shaoheng.
But Huo Shaoheng immediately hung up the phone and blocked Chen Chen's number so that he could not make harassing calls.
Huo Shaoheng found a thermometer and measured the temperature of Gu Nianzhi's forehead. He found that it was still less than 39 degrees, so he put it down temporarily and went out to have breakfast.
"Cousin is up? Where is Miss Gu?" Huo Jialan was instructing the servants to make breakfast. "I don't know what flavor Miss Gu likes, so I asked Mother Chen to make some breakfast according to the flavor of C city cuisine. See how she cooks it. Don’t you like it?”
Huo Shaoheng wears regular clothes at home, a simple white shirt over a black T-shirt, with the hem tied under a black military belt. The black wool trousers customized by the army make his legs longer. He is 1.88 meters taller than Zhang Wenjie who just came in. Much higher.
Zhang Wenjie is not short at 1.75 meters, but in front of Huo Shaoheng, he looks short.
His body is thin and skinny, like a child's.
He was a little afraid to see Huo Shaoheng, so he greeted him cautiously, and then found a seat far away from him to sit down.
Huo Shaoheng nodded to Zhang Wenjie in a very rare and pleasant manner, and said "good morning", then sat down, looked at the fried buns, rice balls, glutinous rice porridge, fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table, and bowed to Huo Jialan He said: "Thank you." Then he said to Zhang Wenjie: "Do you want to eat?"
Zhang Wenna, who had just arrived at the restaurant, saw this scene and her eyes almost fell to the ground.
The big cousin now is completely different from six years ago.
In the past, I didn't even look at these people, but now I'm so polite to Wenjie and Huo Jialan!
Of course, maybe it's because the official has grown older and knows how to hide his emotions, using superficial etiquette to cover up all his true emotions.
Zhang Wenna also understood this.
She walked over with a complicated expression and nodded to Huo Shaoheng, "It's morning, cousin."
Huo Shaoheng looked back at her, "Morning."
Zhang Wenna sat down next to Zhang Wenjie and glanced at him.
Zhang Wenjie shrugged, made an "I don't know either" gesture, and then looked at Huo Shaoheng: "Cousin, where is Miss Gu? Why don't you come out for breakfast?"
Huo Jialan also wanted to ask, so he followed up: "The fried buns won't taste good when they're cold."
Before Huo Shaoheng could answer, the orderly had already delivered his special breakfast.
His meals were specially cooked by army servicemen, and even the kitchen stove was in a different place from the ones used by the rest of the Huo family.
Looking at the large piece of medium-rare steak, cheese pancakes, and a plate of beef buns, the corners of Huo Jialan's mouth twitched twice, "Cousin, it's not good to eat these things early in the morning."
High calories, high fat, and high protein can also lead to high blood fat and high cholesterol.
But she never thought that with Huo Shaoheng's level of activity in the military, he would have to eat like this to ensure his nutritional supply.
Huo Shaoheng didn't explain much, just said lightly: "This is how I have eaten since I joined the army."
Zhang Wenjie was so envious that he looked at his bacon and wished he could eat a piece of steak or beef buns.
Huo Shaoheng caught a glimpse of his envious eyes and pushed the fried buns in front of him, "Wenjie, eat this."
Zhang Wenjie was flattered, "Is it really for me? Not for Miss Gu?!"
"She is sick and won't eat these things." Huo Shaoheng picked up a knife and fork to cut the steak, and told the orderly beside him: "Ask the military doctor to come over and treat Nianzhi. From now on, she will eat with me. Remember to make an extra portion for her. "
The orderly responded loudly and asked, "What does Miss Gu taste like?"
"It's better if it's fresher. Now that I'm sick, the taste can be a little stronger." Huo Shaoheng casually ordered, quickly finished the steak in front of him, and started eating beef buns.
Huo Jialan rubbed her hands uneasily, "Cousin, Miss Gu is sick? What's wrong?"
"Fever. I was cold last night." Huo Shaoheng finished breakfast, drank another cup of coffee, stood up and said, "Eat slowly."
Huo Shaoheng had just walked out of the restaurant when the Zhang siblings' father Zhang Baochen and mother Qian Shihui came in.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang." He nodded slightly, paused, and went out.
Huo Jialan also said hello to Zhang Baochen and Qian Shihui, and went upstairs with a box of breakfast.
…
Huo Shaoheng returned to his suite, turned on his computer and worked for a while, then heard the doorbell ringing and the intercom saying that the military doctor had arrived.
Huo Shaoheng stood up, opened the door, and welcomed a female military doctor in.
"Red sandalwood?" Huo Shaoheng was a little surprised, "Why is it you?"
"Nianzhi was coming to the imperial capital to study, and Chen Chen had already sent me here to help." Ye Zitan said with a smile, "But we didn't expect that we would get sick when we arrived."
Huo Shaoheng understood that it must have been him who called Chen Zhi just now and told him about Gu Nianzhi's fever. Chen Zhi immediately informed Ye Zitan, who was already in the imperial capital.
Gu Nianzhi's doctor has always been Chen Chen, and occasionally Ye Zitan helps.
Ye Zitan walked in, took out a thermometer and stethoscope from the medicine box, and tested Gu Nianzhi for a long time before saying, "It should be fine, it's 38 degrees 5 now."
Huo Shaoheng nodded, "It was 39 degrees just now. It seems that the fever has gone away."
Ye Zitan agreed with him, "It's best to reduce the fever on your own. If you can't resist it, take medicine. I put these antipyretics here just in case."
Knowing that Gu Nianzhi was fine, Huo Shaoheng went to work in the study with confidence.
But not long after he entered, Huo Jialan said on the intercom that he had something to say to him.
Huo Shaoheng opened the door and let her in. The two of them were talking in the living room, which was used as a small living room.
"Cousin, Nianzhi stayed at your place yesterday?" Huo Jialan poked his head in the direction of Huo Shaoheng's bedroom.
"Well, she will live here from now on." Huo Shaoheng said no more, "It will only be more than a week."
"This is not good." Huo Jialan objected tactfully, "Although my cousin is Miss Gu's guardian, Miss Gu is already eighteen years old and a grown-up girl, and she still lives with you..."
"Is there something wrong?" Huo Shaoheng said calmly, not taking it seriously at all, "Her situation is special and she cannot be frightened. This has been proven by a doctor."
"Can't be frightened?" Huo Jialan was stunned, "Does she also have...?"
"She didn't." Huo Shaoheng interrupted her without hesitation, his eyes became serious, "She's just timid, she's still a little girl, don't think so dirty."
Huo Jialan was choked by Huo Shaoheng as if he had eaten a fly. He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists angrily, and said, "Excuse me. Cousin, I am doing this for your own good. You are a major general and you cannot make mistakes. How much? Eyes staring at you..."
"I know." Huo Shaoheng said lightly, "You don't have to mind my business, just go out."
Huo Jialan persuaded her a few more times, but Huo Shaoheng went to the study without looking back, leaving Huo Jialan alone in the living room.
She chatted for a while, not daring to go to Huo Shaoheng's bedroom to look for Gu Nianzhi, and finally left gloomily.
…
Gu Nianzhi slept until the sun went down and didn't wake up until almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
She was sweating all over and her fever was completely gone, but she felt uncomfortable due to the sweat all over her body.
Her mind was still a little dazed after a high fever, so she sat up and stretched lazily, taking off her sweat-soaked pajamas like a skirt.
Huo Shaoheng heard her getting up and hurriedly walked in to tell her something. When he entered the door, he saw her white breasts swaying like a little rabbit. He immediately turned around and backed away, closing the bedroom door tightly at the same time.
When Gu Nianzhi heard the sound of the door closing, he realized that he was not in his own bedroom, but in Huo Shaoheng's bedroom...
She hurriedly put on her sweaty pajamas again, got out of bed and opened the bedroom door, "Uncle Huo, what's the matter?"
Huo Shaoheng stood with his back to her. When he heard her coming out, he didn't turn around and said, "It's already evening. Hurry up and change clothes and get ready for dinner." After saying that, he walked directly to the study and closed the door with a bang. .
Gu Nianzhi was a little surprised, "It's already evening? Did I sleep all day?"
Seeing that the door to Huo Shaoheng's study was closed tightly, she didn't bother to disturb him. She hurriedly found her suitcase, opened it, took out the underwear and coat inside, and took her to the bathroom to take a shower.
After washing himself cleanly and coming out, he found that the door of Huo Shaoheng's study had been opened, but he was no longer inside.
It's time to go have dinner.
Gu Nianzhi found his slippers, put them on and left Huo Shaoheng's suite, intending to go to the restaurant for dinner.
It was the time for the orderlies to change their guard at this time. When Gu Nianzhi came out, she didn't see anyone standing guard at the door. She followed the path in her memory and walked to the living room.
If she remembered correctly, the dining room was on the other side of the living room.
After walking through a long corridor, she was about to turn right when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a woman wearing a complicated pink woolen sweater and pink woolen skirt standing at the end of a small branch on the left.
She took a few steps forward, suddenly remembered something, and turned her head sharply to look again.
That woman was obviously the woman in white robe who appeared in her bedroom yesterday!
Gu Nianzhi blinked. The woman was still standing in front of the window at the end of the road, looking at her with a smile.
"Who are you?" Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but walked over, "Are you also from the Huo family?"
Looking closer, Gu Nianzhi found that this woman must be a little older, but she was definitely not over thirty years old.
With delicate fair skin, bright and moving facial features, and a hint of innocence and shyness in her expression, she looks like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
If it weren't for the slight crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, Gu Nianzhi would really have regarded this woman as his own peer.
The woman saw Gu Nianzhi approaching and said softly, "Your skirt is so beautiful."
What Gu Nianzhi had just changed into was a light smoke purple Chanel herringbone skirt that she took out from the suitcase.
Chanel's clothes are naturally extraordinary. Young people don't look old when they wear them, and older people wear them with an elegance and calmness that doesn't reveal their age.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her envious eyes and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful person. Are you from the Huo family?"
The woman blinked, "Huo family?" A trace of blush appeared on her face, and her voice became softer, "I also want to be a Huo family... But Guan Chen said that you can't get married at the age of eighteen, and you have to wait until the age of twenty-two. Only then can you get married..."
Gu Nian was startled.
Guan Chen
If she remembered correctly, Huo Shaoheng's father was named Huo Guanchen.
But no matter how you look at this woman, she is more than eighteen years old!
"You mean, you're only eighteen years old? So you can't get married?" Gu Nianzhihu asked, and then said, "What's your name? Were you the one who went to my bedroom yesterday?"
The woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, "What's my name? My name is... Song Jinning, yes, that's my name. Should I go to your bedroom? No, that's my own room."
Gu Nianzhi was surprised, thinking that she was going to have dinner, so he simply said to the woman: "Miss Song, right? Have you had dinner? Come to have dinner with me." As she said that, she extended her hand to Song Jinning.
Song Jinning hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and took Gu Nianzhi's hand.
Her hands were indeed cold.
Gu Nianzhi took her to the restaurant.
The two walked into the restaurant hand in hand, and everyone inside stood up in shock.
Huo Jialan even hurried over, took Song Jinning's hand from Gu Nianzhi's, and said, "Second Aunt, why are you down again?" Then she scolded the servants: "How do you do your work? You can't even look down on a patient. !”
