Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi looked around the square and first picked the nearest supermarket, which was said to sell New Year's goods from time-honored brands.
Even a fried melon seed has its origin.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the large introduction at the stall selling fried melon seeds. He laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. He pulled Huo Shaoheng over and asked him: "Master Huo, do you eat melon seeds?"
Huo Shaoheng looked at her but said nothing.
Gu Nianzhi pursed his lips, glanced at Huo Shaoheng, who was wearing sunglasses and not smiling, and said to himself, well, I know that you, the old man, will definitely not eat melon seeds.
Cracking melon seeds will damage your image as an elderly person...
But she had to buy about ten kilograms. She had visitors during the Chinese New Year, and melon seeds were a must-have snack.
"Weigh each of these sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and watermelon seeds at five pounds." Gu Nianzhi pointed happily in front of the stall.
Huo Shaoheng took her hand and pressed it, and said to the salesperson selling melon seeds at the stall: "Weighing each of them two kilograms is enough."
"Ah? Can two jins be enough?" Gu Nianzhi was dissatisfied, "If there are so many people coming, why don't you buy melon seeds now?"
"People come to my house to pay New Year's greetings, not to eat melon seeds." Huo Shaoheng took the melon seeds packed by the salesperson and diverted Gu Nianzhi's attention: "Didn't you say you want to buy rice cakes? Chenji rice cakes over there are a famous time-honored brand. When I was a child I’ve had it, it’s very good.”
"Chen Ji rice cake? Do you like eating it? I want to try it." Gu Nianzhi squeezed towards the stall selling rice cakes.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the three packets of antique melon seeds covered with red paper in his hand, shook his head, and walked silently behind Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi stood at the Chen Kee rice cake stall and looked at it for a while. He had no resistance to that kind of glutinous stuff. At the end of the day, he decided to buy three kilograms...
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to step forward to stop him again: "One pound is enough. It's food, not rice."
Gu Nianzhi was going crazy: "... Didn't you say it's delicious? What's wrong with buying more? It's not like I don't have money... "
Huo Shaoheng ignored her and took a pound of wrapped rice cakes from the rice cake seller. He carried the melon seeds and melon seeds in one hand. He held Gu Nianzhi's hand with the other hand and turned to look at her: "Chen Ji, what's inside the rice cakes?" There is a lot of glutinous rice added, and if you have a weak stomach, it is not suitable to eat too much glutinous rice."
It turns out that he was still thinking about her...
Gu Nianzhi stopped being depressed for a moment and simply held Huo Shaoheng's arm and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, she remembered, "Mr. Huo, are you carrying the heavy one? Let's go rent a shopping cart over there, okay?"
There is a place to rent shopping carts on the pedestrian street. You can push them into every store and the specifications are the same.
"Well, go and push one over." It's not that Huo Shaoheng couldn't carry it, but seeing that Gu Nianzhi was buying more and more things, he might not be able to carry them all in his hands.
Gu Nianzhi happily rented a shopping cart, took the melon seeds and rice cakes from Huo Shaoheng, put them in the shopping cart, and continued shopping.
"Master Huo, are you ready for the New Year's Eve dinner?" Gu Nianzhi saw a supermarket selling fruits, vegetables and meat. There were tender and tender lotus roots inside, and he wanted to eat lotus root stewed with pork ribs.
Huo Shaoheng also saw what Gu Nianzhi was craving for. Lotus root is a healthy food. "If you want to eat it, buy it. If you can't eat it, you can leave it alone."
The kitchen of his official residence not only has a refrigerator, but also a cold storage room, which can accommodate any number of things.
With the shopping cart, Gu Nianzhi's shopping became more convenient.
The official residence has seafood and meat, so she doesn't need to buy them. Vegetables and fruits are also special supplies. What she buys now is just for freshness.
Huo Shaoheng felt that most of the things in the shopping cart would not be eaten by her, so he took her to a supermarket that specialized in traditional desserts.
There are many ancient and traditional sugars here, such as caramel sugar, pine nut sugar, osmanthus sugar, maltose, as well as delicious and beautiful pastries such as Poria cake, rose crystal cake, pea yellow, donkey rolling, etc., which are not found in other places. A unique New Year tradition.
Huo Shaoheng's official residence chef didn't know how to make these things, so he just bought them for Gu Nianzhi to try.
Gu Nianzhi smiled so brightly that his big bright eyes curved into two crescents, and his long eyelashes flickered like butterfly feathers. When he looked up at Huo Shaoheng, his eyes were focused and caring, and he leaned against him very dependently.
Huo Shaoheng pushed a shopping cart and walked on the street of the shopping plaza. There were many pedestrians on the road, but he didn't look away. He put one hand on the handle of the shopping cart and held Gu Nianzhi tightly with the other.
He is tall and powerful. Even if they don't know his status, just by looking at his appearance, many women will turn to look at him.
Gu Nianzhi felt hot after leaving and planned to buy a small ice cream to eat.
Although it was New Year's Eve, the shops on the shopping street had sufficient heating. After getting in the car and returning to the mansion, the central air-conditioning at a constant temperature of 25 degrees did not freeze her.
Huo Shaoheng didn't object. He sat alone in front of a cafe on the street, ordered a cup of black coffee, lit a cigarette, and sat there calmly, smoking and waiting for her.
A beautiful young woman in a mink coat walked over, holding a cigarette in her white fingers. She raised her eyebrows at Huo Shaoheng, "Sir, can you lend me a light?"
Huo Shaoheng blew out a white smoke ring and said lightly: "...No."
The woman didn't expect to be rejected, so her expression changed, and she simply sat down opposite Huo Shaoheng, "Sir, do you want to be so cruel? It's just a way of making fun of you, do you want to be so ruthless?"
Huo Shaoheng wore sunglasses, looked at the woman, looked away, and looked into the distance as if nothing had happened, with no intention of answering.
The woman sat there awkwardly for a while, but in the end she couldn't resist Huo Shaoheng's indifference. She snorted softly, stood up and walked away, deliberately muttering: "... Bad virtue! Why are you dragging..."
Huo Shaoheng ignored her and pretended not to hear her at all.
Not long after, another young girl dressed as a student came over, smiled lively at Huo Shaoheng, and said: "Handsome guy, I made a bet with my classmate that you will be more handsome if you take off your sunglasses! Do you want to cooperate with me? If we win the money, we will Half and half?”
Huo Shaoheng remained motionless and still had no intention of speaking, as if the girl standing in front of him speaking did not exist.
"Handsome guy..." This girl was even bolder than the beautiful young woman just now, and she actually wanted to come up to him and help him take off his sunglasses.
When a young girl presses close to her chest, few men are willing to push her away.
Huo Shaoheng raised his head and looked over. Even though she was wearing sunglasses, the girl felt that the aura was so powerful that she almost stopped breathing. She was enveloped in his gaze and could not move.
Huo Shaoheng said calmly: "...Get out."
The words were like thunder hitting the little girl's head. Her face suddenly turned blood red, and she burst into tears without caring about the bet she made with her classmates, and ran away.
Gu Nianzhi had only been away for less than ten minutes when four or five women tried to strike up a conversation with Huo Shaoheng.
Handsome men are a scarce resource these days, and young girls are already bolder than grown men, openly striking up conversations in the street.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head speechlessly, feeling glad in his heart that Gu Nianzhi grew up with him and was not so bold as to openly flirt with people outside...
When Gu Nianzhi came back from buying ice cream, he happened to see Huo Shaoheng chase away another beautiful woman who was trying to strike up a conversation with a fluttering word "fuck".
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Huo, you are too merciless." Gu Nianzhi sat opposite him, took an ice cream cone in his hand, licked it, and asked him, "Do you want to eat it?"
Huo Shaoheng put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can under the street tree. He took a sip of black coffee and smiled at Gu Nianzhi, "Yes."
"Do you really want to eat it?" Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed. She was just being polite. She had never seen Huo Shaoheng eat ice cream before, and she never thought about buying it for him. "Then I'll buy you another one."
"No need to buy any more." Huo Shaoheng raised his fingers at her, "It's just you."
"Ah? But I've eaten this before..." Sweat was pouring from Gu Nianzhi's head. Not only had she eaten it, but she had already licked this ice cream cone from top to bottom, front to back...
"It's okay. I don't dislike you." Huo Shaoheng's lips showed a faint smile, and his long legs stretched leisurely, almost reaching Gu Nianzhi's feet. He fiddled with the coffee cup in front of him, lowered his head slightly and asked: "Won't you give it?"
"Here! Why don't you give it!" Gu Nianzhi hurriedly put the ice cream cone in front of Huo Shaoheng, "Here, here it is."
Huo Shaoheng did not take it with his hands, but looked at Gu Nianzhi steadily, opened his mouth slightly, "Feed me."
At this moment, not only Gu Nianzhi was petrified, but Zhao Liangze on the other side of the monitor and Yinshi Xiongdu, who could hear the conversation through headphones, were all messed up in the wind...
I'm in a big trough!
Is Mr. Huo possessed by evil spirits? !
Gu Nianzhi's face was so red that it could bleed, and even the tips of her ears were red, spreading all the way to her neck.
"Huo... Mr. Huo... you..." Gu Nianzhi's hands were trembling, but Huo Shaoheng had already reached out to hold her wrist, and calmly, step by step, pulled the ice cream cone in her hand toward him, then lowered his head and took a bite. He bit off the tip of the ice cream cone.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her ice cream cone and lost a large mouthful in the blink of an eye. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, but the next moment, she was sluggish again.
Because Huo Shaoheng held her wrist again and fed the ice cream cone in her hand to her own lips!
The ice cream cone with a strong milky aroma but also a cold chill lingered on Gu Nianzhi's lips. She subconsciously took a bite, right on the spot where Huo Shaoheng had bitten just now.
This is an indirect kiss in public...
On the morning of New Year's Eve, although there was sunshine, it was still dry and cold outside the shopping mall in Nancheng District, the imperial capital.
But Gu Nianzhi felt that her whole body was extremely hot, and even a few bites of her favorite milkshake and ice cream cone couldn't cool her down.
…
Zhao Liangze, who was far away at the headquarters of the Special Operations Division, subconsciously cut off all contact with the sunglasses that Huo Shaoheng was wearing, and completely erased all the images from the central monitoring computer without saving any of them.
His heart was pounding, and the slight awkwardness and inappropriateness he had noticed these days finally had an answer.
But when did these two start
Or is it only one party who is intentional and the other party is just playing along
…
Yin Shixiong found that there was no sound in the earphones, but he didn't care. He just stared at the beautiful man and woman at the door of the cafe not far away. You take one bite and I eat an ice cream cone.
When did these two hook up...
Yin Shixiong was a little sad.
Damn it!
Are the boss he respects with all his heart like a god, and the little girl he loves with all his heart like a daughter together like this? !
Where is this going to put him? !
What will he call them in the future? !
Even if we are together, what does it mean to publicly show affection and abuse them singles on the street? !
In anger, Yin Shixiong raised the newspaper in his hand higher, blocking his sight completely, out of sight!
But not long after, he quietly lowered the height of the newspaper and secretly looked at Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi from the top edge of the newspaper without blinking.
…
"... Mr. Huo, don't you like sweets?" Gu Nianzhi's face was burning. He had no choice but to find something to say. He lowered his head and only dared to look at the ice cream cone in his hand.
Huo Shaoheng simply pulled her wrist towards him, "Come here."
Gu Nianzhi was pulled over by him, hugging her waist and sitting on his lap.
The sun has risen high in the sky, and the sunlight is shining on the pedestrian street. There is no temperature. The clear and transparent light sets off the bright blue sky and white clouds, making people feel extremely happy.
Gu Nianzhi's body stiffened for a while and finally softened.
Why be afraid
Isn't this what she wanted all along
And holding hands in the sun, hugging, kissing...
Gu Nianzhi thought this, licked his lips, and boldly stepped forward to kiss Huo Shaoheng on the lips. Then, before he could respond, he quickly tried to pull away and run away.
But she underestimated the extent of Huo Shaoheng's reaction.
His big hands were around her waist, and she couldn't move at all, even if she wanted to run.
"You want to run away after teasing you?" Huo Shaoheng looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you very courageous?"
He came closer to her and spoke, his hot breath lingering in her ear. He did not say any sweet words, but his tone was the most intimate whisper between lovers.
Gu Nianzhi was shaking so hard that she almost fainted. The happiness came so suddenly, she couldn't believe it was true...
"Mr. Huo, didn't you say that I have seduced you and you are mine? Then what you are doing today means that I have seduced you?" Gu Nianzhi stretched out his finger and poked Huo Shaoheng's chest. His hard chest muscles were also good. feel.
"Did I say that?" Huo Shaoheng tilted his head and looked around nonchalantly. Fortunately, the evergreen tree in front of the cafe blocked the sight of many pedestrians, so not many people were seen.
He hugged Gu Nianzhi and stood up, "Do you still want to buy something?"
"Of course, I haven't finished shopping yet. But not here, let's go to Cylon Plaza." Gu Nianzhi was in such a good mood that he held Huo Shaoheng's hand tightly and never let go.
Just like a couple, the two of them left the Nancheng District Shopping Plaza of the Imperial Capital with their fingers clasped together.
Arriving at the parking lot, Huo Shaoheng put the things he bought today in the trunk, and then drove Gu Nianzhi to Cylon Plaza to buy gifts.
There was no familiar alternating sound of electricity in the earphones. Huo Shaoheng probably knew the impact Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong had received, and had no intention of comforting them or explaining to them.
But he didn't explain, and he didn't intend for Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong not to ask.
At this time, Yin Shixiong also got in the car and was having a heated argument with Zhao Liangze through headphones.
"Nobita, what else did you see?!" Zhao Liangze asked on the phone, "I just cut off all contacts, so that Mr. Huo doesn't leave any records, how can it be easy for me?!"
"What else can you see?" Yin Shixiong said angrily, "Isn't it just you and me? Nianzhi even kissed Mr. Huo, tsk tsk, this kid is really brave."
Zhao Liangze: "!!!"
Damn it!
He suffered a huge loss!
If I had known earlier, I would have pinched it later!
"Really? Is it Nian Zhiqin's Huo Shao, or Huo Shaoqin's Nian Zhi?"
"Of course it's Nian Zhi's Mr. Huo." Yin Shixiong remembered clearly that Gu Nianzhi's kiss wasn't even called a kiss, it just swept across Huo Shaoheng's lips like a fleeting glimpse.
Unfortunately, from his perspective, he couldn't see clearly whether Gu Nianzhi was really there.
After all, he still had great confidence in Huo Shaoheng's skills. Even at such a close distance, if Mr. Huo didn't want Gu Nianzhi to kiss him, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't be able to kiss him even if he lay on his body.
Yin Shixiong himself has such ability, Huo Shaoheng is only faster and stronger than him.
"Ah? Is he really Nian Zhi's Mr. Huo?" Zhao Liangze's heart sank, thinking of the look in Nian Zhi's eyes that he saw in the interrogation room that day. It was a deep-rooted love...
But with his age and experience, can a person like Mr. Huo be controlled by an eighteen-year-old girl like Gu Nianzhi
And she has always worshiped Mr. Huo as a god.
Besides, her feelings for Huo Shaoheng, is it really love
Zhao Liangze thinks more and further than Yin Shixiong.
To put it bluntly, even if Gu Nianzhi really loved Huo Shaoheng, it would be impossible for Gu Nianzhi to pass the political review alone!
There's no way these two can be together, so why waste time
More importantly, everyone in the military knew that Huo Shaoheng was Gu Nianzhi's guardian. If the two were together now, then Huo Shao... would really have another stain...
Zhao Liangze was in a very irritable mood. After not smoking for a long time, he finally walked to the open space outside, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
Yin Shixiong was still talking to him in the earphone: "Ozawa, when did you say these two got along? We two life secretaries are really derelict in our duties. We don't know anything about the chief's love life."
Zhao Liangze blew out a smoke ring, nodded cruelly, and said, "Yes, we are too slow, so Mr. Huo used this method to expose it to us, otherwise we wouldn't know how long we would have been confused."
"Ah? You said Mr. Huo did it on purpose?!" Yin Shixiong was horrified, "Then, if Mr. Huo knew we were peeking, he let Nianzhi kiss him?!"
"Are you stupid?!" Zhao Liangze put his hand in his trouser pocket and took a long drag on his cigarette, "Young Master Huo didn't do anything! It was Nian who took the initiative! You have to remember, it was Nian who took the initiative!"
