He Zhichu lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nianzhi, his peach blossom eyes showing unabashed appreciation, "You are indeed very smart and you have lived up to my expectations."
Gu Nianzhi: "...Professor He, you haven't returned to my question yet."
He Zhichu raised his cocktail glass and took a sip of wine, with a very happy expression on his face: "Dou Qingyan got into big trouble in the United States. One of my subordinates is her defense lawyer, so he naturally knows her origins clearly. Chu."
Gu Nianzhi frowned slightly and looked at He Zhichu suspiciously: "Really? What a coincidence?"
Just why did he rescue Dou Qingyan at the beginning? It just so happens that Dou Qingyan is Huo Shaoheng's former comrade
Facing Gu Nianzhi's unhesitating questioning, He Zhichu's heart grew colder. He looked at the crowd in front of him coldly and indifferently, and sneered: "Of course it's not such a coincidence. I just know she is Mr. Huo." My former comrade-in-arms, so I saved him. - Are you satisfied with that?"
Gu Nianzhi's mind was a little confused. Her intuition told her that this matter was not that simple, but when she thought about it more deeply, she felt that her intuition was not trustworthy at all.
Why did Professor He do this? Why target Mr. Huo
Gu Nianzhi couldn't think of an answer.
Or she vaguely felt that He Zhichu treated her differently, but she was not that confident yet, thinking that she was a "heartthrob" and that anyone who met her would like her, so the reason for doing this to He Zhichu was even more Not sure.
Seeing the hesitant look on Gu Nianzhi's face, He Zhichu felt better.
He waved a waiter over, put the empty cocktail glass back, and asked Gu Nianzhi, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you?"
Gu Nianzhi was nervous and indeed a little hungry. She nodded, "I'll get it for Professor He. What do you like to eat?"
"No, how could I let a little girl do such a thing to me? That's too ungentlemanly. You know I grew up abroad and am not familiar with the etiquette of your Chinese Empire." He Zhichu did not forget to sarcastic Gu Nian He just said that he didn't understand the Chinese language.
Gu Nianzhi blushed and followed him sheepishly, muttering: "I'm sorry, Professor He, that's not what I meant..."
"Okay, no need to apologize to me, how could I really be angry with you?" He Zhichu said and touched her head again.
Gu Nianzhi looked in Huo Shaoheng's direction uneasily, barely aware of He Zhichu's doting tone towards her.
…
"Shao Heng, how have you been over the years?" Dou Qingyan looked at Huo Shaoheng with a smile and took a plate of food for him.
Charcoal grilled beef tenderloin, crispy grilled chicken tenderloin, cumin lamb, and bacon-wrapped prawns, king crab leg salad, add a few slices of green cabbage, a few small red tomatoes and beans, plus a spoonful Serve the crab meat sauce and place it on the corner of the plate.
"I remember it well, right? These are your favorite foods." Dou Qingyan smiled with crooked eyebrows, and her dignified face actually showed a hint of coquettishness and softness, "... In the past, I prepared these foods for you every night. ."
Huo Shaoheng took it, took out the cumin mutton with a fork, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I don't like mutton."
Dou Qingyan was startled, "Huh? You don't like it? But why didn't you say it in the first place?"
"...Haha, there's no need to say it." Huo Shaoheng ate the food on the plate calmly, without anything amiss.
Dou Qingyan still wanted to say what happened back then, but Huo Shaoheng stopped her: "Okay, although you have retired from the army, do you still remember the discipline?"
"...Oh." Dou Qingyan pursed her lips, stopped talking about what happened at the beginning, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "I was careless. Come, tell me, what have you been doing in the past six years? I heard You said you are already a major general? The Special Operations Department is now your subordinate?"
"Yeah." Huo Shaoheng cut the beef tenderloin into small pieces with a knife and said, "It was originally the Special Operations Department I founded."
"Yes, I was one of your first subordinates." Dou Qingyan winked at him, "I remember the first day I came to the company, you lectured me so much that I cried for half the night, and you even beat me up before dawn. Go and practice physical fitness. Alas, it was such a devilish day at that time... "
Huo Shaoheng also laughed and softened his attitude: "Actually, if you had not retired from the army, your current military rank would not be worse than others."
"I couldn't bear the hardship, so I became a deserter." Dou Qingyan laughed happily, looking very cheerful and generous.
Huo Shaoheng said a casual word, and she burst into laughter. The point of laughter was very low.
…
Gu Nianzhi was watching Huo Shaoheng and Dou Qingyan chatting and laughing in a corner not far away, feeling very strange.
She must have felt uncomfortable. Just like the last time she saw Huo Shaoheng casually smiling at a woman in a video, she felt uncomfortable for several days.
But she was surprised because she had never seen Huo Shaoheng behave so casually with other women.
In Gu Nianzhi's impression, Huo Shaoheng had only two attitudes towards other people, one of his own or the enemy.
He has no concept of men and women, except of course Gu Nianzhi.
So when she saw Huo Shaoheng and Dou Qingyan chatting and eating like old classmates, she felt that this feeling was valuable. It could at least prove that Huo Shaoheng was also a living person, not a war machine without emotions, or a person lacking emotions. war machine.
He Zhichu brought a glass of Canadian ice wine over, stood next to Gu Nianzhi, and followed her gaze to Huo Shaoheng and Dou Qingyan leisurely.
Dou Qingyan performed better than he expected, and did not reminisce about the old relationship with Huo Shaoheng in a miserable way.
He Zhichu is a man, and he knows that for men, the old person they have abandoned crying in front of them is not as touching as a stranger touching them.
Therefore, for this kind of man, you should not bring up the old relationship, but should start from the relationship of ordinary friends.
Although Dou Qingyan and Huo Shaoheng broke up, they once had a comrade-in-arms relationship that went through life and death together. This relationship was sometimes even stronger than that of a couple.
"It's normal for a man of Mr. Huo's age and position to have several ex-girlfriends. Don't stare so wide." He Zhichu brought a bottle of warm milk and stuffed it into Gu Nianzhi's hand.
Gu Nianzhi felt that he was in a bad mood and needed warm milk to soothe his little mind. He took it and sucked it slowly with a straw, muttering: "My eyes are already big, but you have bad eyesight. Why should I stare at you?" Already?"
"No? How big are your eyes? Show me..." He Zhichu looked sideways at Gu Nianzhi's face with a smile.
The pair of big eyes with almost perfect outlines looked over. They were filled with water and hidden clouds. Just one look at you can make you fall deeply in love.
He Zhichu forced himself to look away and took another sip of thick and sweet Canadian ice wine.
This wine is so sweet that it becomes bitter and astringent.
Ice wine is originally made from frozen grapes, and it has been refrigerated when drinking. There is still frost hanging on the wall of the bottle. Drinking it in your mouth is like having a basin of cold water poured on your head. It is exactly the feeling that He Zhichu needs most.
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes, feeling that He Zhichu was getting more and more strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, He Zhichu was just her mentor, and she didn't want to have too many personal entanglements with her mentor.
…
Huo Shaoheng finished a plate of food and was about to bid farewell politely to Dou Qingyan. At this time, Dou Haoyan came over and smiled at Huo Shaoheng: "Major General Huo is here today. We did not welcome you from afar. It is really rude and rude!"
"Young Master Dou made strong remarks." Huo Shaoheng laughed, "Thanks to Young Master Dou's invitation, I wish you a happy New Year and all the best."
"You're welcome." Dou Haoyan glanced at Dou Qingyan, "I have something to tell Mr. Huo, please help me greet the guests."
Dou Qingyan agreed with a smile, said goodbye politely to Huo Shaoheng, and walked to the other side of the living room.
Dou Haoyan took Huo Shaoheng a few steps and asked in a low voice with great respect: "Major General Huo, my father actually invited me. Can you follow me to meet my father? He is in the office building behind."
"Oh, it's okay." Huo Shaoheng nodded and glanced at Gu Nianzhi, who was talking to He Zhichu.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze again and saw that they were both in the crowd in the living room. He winked at them calmly and then followed Dou Haoyan to the Prime Minister's office building with confidence.
Not long after Huo Shaoheng left, He Zhichu was also called away. Gu Nian was the only one standing next to the screen in the corner.
She felt a little bored. She originally wanted to find Brother Daxiong and Brother Ozawa, but she found that Brother Daxiong was having a heated fight with a strange woman, and Brother Ozawa was talking to Bai Yueran and Bai Shuang, looking very happy.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't bear to disturb them, so he went behind the screen alone, and found that there was a cave there, and there was a very comfortable and beautiful L-shaped sofa.
She leaned over and sat on the sofa, took out her mobile phone and played games.
Not long after, a man sat down next to her.
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyes and saw Dou Qingyan who was talking to Huo Shaoheng just now.
"Are you Gu Nianzhi?" Dou Qingyan looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Shao Heng is your guardian?"
