Gu Nianzhi looked at him suspiciously and refused to walk over at all.
He Zhichu waited for a while, and when he saw that Gu Nianzhi still hadn't come over, he turned his head to look at her, then took out a revolver from his waist and put it on the coffee table.
Gu Nianzhi's face turned pale with fright, and he asked tremblingly: "He... Professor He, what on earth do you want to do?!"
He Zhichu looked at the revolver and said coldly: "You don't have to be afraid. I said what happened just now will never happen again, and it just won't happen again. If you don't believe it, this gun is loaded with bullets. Hold it in your hand and point it at me. I know your shooting skills are very good. No matter how strong I am, I can't beat the gun. - Are you relieved?"
The corner of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched twice, and he had a deeper and more intuitive understanding of He Zhichu's moodiness.
She looked up at the recessed ceiling light on the ceiling and regretted for the first time why she had to take the postgraduate entrance examination of He Zhichu...
But at that time, she didn't know that He Zhichu was such a person!
Of course, He Zhichu's reputation has always been very good. I have never heard of him harassing female students. There are many jokes in the school about how female students tried their best to seduce him, but were despised by him...
Why did He Zhichu treat himself like this
Gu Nianzhi reflected on herself, did she give He Zhichu a signal that something was wrong? Make him feel that you are interested in him
I made it very clear...
"Professor He, what happened today makes me very scared. I really don't want to talk anymore. I want to go home." Gu Nianzhi was very determined and refused to walk over.
He Zhichu didn't force it anymore. He sat alone on the sofa, looked at the revolver on the coffee table, and said indifferently: "I came to the Chinese Empire to find someone. You... are very similar to her... "
"It's very similar?" Gu Nianzhi touched his face, "Really? Do you have any photos?"
He Zhichu shook his head, nodded again, and said, "The photo is at my hometown... I didn't bring the photo here."
"Didn't you bring it here?" Gu Nianzhi still had a tone of disbelief.
If you keep claiming to be looking for someone but don’t bring a photo, who will believe you
She cursed in her heart.
He Zhichu seemed to know what she was thinking, smiled sadly, and said to himself: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I take her with me or not, I can't find her..."
He covered his head, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, and bent his body into a bow on the sofa.
He didn't have his usual coolness and dignity, nor his regular indifference and loneliness. He only looked helpless and panicked.
This was the first time Gu Nianzhi saw the powerful Professor He showing such a weak gesture.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head silently. Feeling strange, she asked again, "Who is she to you? Is she a relative?"
"...So be it."
I understand, it turns out that the preferential treatment I have received in He Zhichu in the past six months is because I have been someone else's stand-in.
No wonder He Zhichu was so kind to her...
Gu Nianzhi held the backpack, looking for things inside, and whispered: "Professor He, don't be discouraged, maybe things will turn around in the future?"
He Zhichu turned to look at her: "Will you?"
"How will you know if you don't try it?" Gu Nianzhi took out a wet tissue from her backpack and wiped her face, wiping away the tears on her face. Fortunately, she didn't put on makeup, otherwise it would have been even worse.
He Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nianzhi, you really don't need to be so wary of me. I was so sad just now. I deceived myself for so long, and I only realized it today... I won't force myself anymore. Really, I will definitely do it in the future. It won't happen again."
"...It's hard to say..." Gu Nianzhi muttered, not quite believing what He Zhichu said.
"What did you say?"
"I said... it's hard to say..." Gu Nianzhi mustered up his courage, "If you don't find the person you are looking for, I will not rest assured..."
"Haha, you are thinking too much." He Zhichu raised his head, the sourness in his eyes about to turn into tears, "Actually, I only really accepted this fact when I saw you crying so sadly today. Although it is cruel, I still want to say, I can't find her anymore."
He Zhichu turned his head and looked at Gu Nianzhi, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with water.
Gu Nian was startled, the indifferent Professor He was actually about to cry.
When she looked over carefully, He Zhichu had already looked away.
Gu Nianzhi asked him tentatively: "Professor He, do you want me to help you find a way? Mr. Huo and the others know many people and have a wide range of paths. Maybe they can help you find the person you are looking for."
He Zhichu turned to look in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window and shook his head, "No need. Thank you. Please don't tell Mr. Huo and the others. This is a private matter between me and her. I don't want others to know."
"Why?"
"Because she is someone I can never let go of in my life." He Zhichu lowered his head, his voice seemed to come from deep in his heart, full of regret and self-blame: "She has been following me since she could walk. I never thought She would leave me later. But one day, when I went out and came home, I found that she had... disappeared. I started looking for her, looking for her everywhere. After searching for so many years, I thought I had found traces of her. But when I came here, I found everything was different.”
"Ah? Really? Then you... found her?" Seeing He Zhichu in such pain, Gu Nianzhi felt even more uneasy. She was always curious, but this time she didn't want to ask anymore.
"Haha, it's not what you think. She... should no longer be in this world." He Zhichu smiled miserably and apologized to Gu Nianzhi again: "I'm sorry, Nianzhi, I shouldn't have thought of you as soon as I saw your photo. Her substitute. I really miss her so much... "
Gu Nianzhi smiled awkwardly, "Professor He, just think about it clearly. Now I know that all my good luck is all thanks to that girl in your family. Don't give up, if one day you find her , say hello to her and thank her for me."
"You are a good girl." He Zhichu breathed out, "Although I don't have any hope of finding her, if one day comes, I will definitely take your word for it."
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you Professor He."
He Zhichu stood up and said, "I'm sorry for frightening you today." He paused, "Are you sure you don't want to show me your preparation notes and discuss the case with me?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head, "No, Professor He, I want to go home." After a pause, she whispered: "... I won't... tell anyone about what happened today."
This means that she will not complain to the school.
Harassment of students by professors is a very serious accusation in the United States, and professors may lose their teaching positions or even be imprisoned.
The punishment in the Chinese Empire may not be that severe, but the blow to the professor's reputation is fatal.
He Zhichu was very clear about these rules, so when he heard Gu Nianzhi take the initiative to say that he would not report him, he was still shocked.
He walked up to Gu Nianzhi and stopped one meter away from her.
Gu Nianzhi immediately showed a vigilant expression.
He Zhichu smiled bitterly, put his hands behind his back and said, "You see, you are still very wary of me."
"... It will get better after a while, but today, I can't be the same as before." Gu Nianzhi said frankly, "Professor He, you really scared me just now."
"I'm so sorry." He Zhichu put his hands in his trouser pockets and stared at Gu Nianzhi's bright face, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his mind...
"I don't want to say it's okay now." Gu Nianzhi said with a smile, avoiding He Zhichu's burning gaze, "Can I leave?"
"I'll take you down." He Zhichu reached out to press the code on the door lock and opened the locked door.
Gu Nianzhi quickly strode out, waving his hand back: "Professor He, you are busy, so there is no need to see me off."
"It's okay, let's go." He Zhichu walked silently beside her and walked out of the suite door with her. As a result, Wen Shouyi's door opposite opened at this time.
Wen Shouyi was wearing a creamy white sweater and home clothes and saw Dou Aiyan and her two friends out at the door.
Seeing He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi also coming out, Wen Shouyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Professor He is going out?"
"I'll send you off." He Zhichu took Gu Nianzhi into the elevator without looking at her.
Dou Aiyan was so surprised that she rushed into the elevator and stood next to He Zhichu: "Professor He, I am Aiyan, do you remember?"
He Zhichu nodded calmly: "Miss Dou Er."
At the dinner at the Prime Minister's Office that day, Dou Aiyan was always by He Zhichu's side. How could he not remember it
