Huo Shaoheng put a hand into a fist and covered his lips with a smile, and said noncommittally: "It seems that we have different understandings of the word 'care'."
"I'd like to hear the details." He Zhichu said lightly to see what flowers he could name.
"Since Nianzhi is following me, what I want to teach her is the ability to live independently, rather than being a 'giant baby' who doesn't know anything when she reaches adulthood." Although Huo Shaoheng said it in an understatement, the irony was palpable.
He Zhichu pursed his lips, suppressed the anger rising in his heart, leaned forward to get his own coffee from the coffee table, held it in his hand and took a few sips, then sneered and said in a cold voice: "Nianzhi is not mentally retarded. No matter how well she is taken care of, she will not become a 'giant baby'. The key is whether the person who takes care of her has the heart."
"Indeed, whether you have a heart or not, the standards and methods of doing things will be very different." Huo Shaoheng said intentionally or unintentionally the situation when he just saved Gu Nianzhi, "When I first saw her, she was only twelve years old. I don't know I had been frightened by something, and had nightmares all night long, and could not leave people. Sometimes when I woke up and saw no one, I would scream and cry immediately. To be honest, I was only in my early twenties at that time, and I couldn’t stand anything. I don’t understand. If it weren’t for the request of the military, and if Nianzhi recognized me, I wouldn’t be able to take care of her.”
Veins gradually bulged on the back of He Zhichu's hand, and the hand holding the coffee cup was so hard that the joints protruded, but his expression did not change at all, his eyes were half lowered, and even his long eyelashes were unmoved. If you just look at his facial expressions, you can't tell any clues.
Huo Shaoheng took a long breath and said as if unintentionally: "She is just a little girl, and she doesn't know where there are so many nightmares."
"Yes, have you ever asked her what kind of dreams she has?" He Zhichu put down the coffee cup and looked up again with a curious look on his face.
"Maybe it's related to her previous experience, maybe it's related to her car accident, who knows?" Huo Shaoheng shook his head, "Does Professor He care about Nian Zhi's past?"
"I'm not that gossipy." He Zhichu denied it, "It's just that I have studied a little bit of psychology. Nightmares are a normal reaction of human psychology and body. If you know Yuan You, you can help her stop having such dreams. -Hasn’t Mr. Huo tried it? If a little girl has nightmares every day and cannot sleep well, it will seriously affect her physical and mental health. "
"Then Professor He thinks that Nian Zhi is a physically and mentally unhealthy person?" Huo Shaoheng smiled and his eyes drifted towards the small study room where Gu Nian Zhi was.
As an adult, Gu Nianzhi is lively and cute, tall and beautiful, speaks humorously, has a cheerful personality, and is not aggressive. No matter how you look at it, he is not a person with mental or physical problems.
No matter how dissatisfied He Zhichu was with Huo Shaoheng, he had to admit that Gu Nianzhi was very good-looking, many, many times better than he could have imagined...
"Then how did you do it?" He Zhichu's eyes drifted towards the small study room, and it seemed that he could hear Gu Nianzhi's soft and charming voice through the door.
Huo Shaoheng sat up straight and said with a smile: "It's very simple. Let her train with my soldiers. She will be tired during the day and can sleep at night. Ten kilometers of cross-country running every day, as well as various simplified physical training , she persisted from the time she was twelve until she left me to go to college when she was sixteen, otherwise how do you think she could grow so tall?"
He Zhichu was speechless for a moment.
Before the age of twelve, Gu Nianzhi's height was below the average for children of his age and his weight was above the average for children of his age. He was indeed not as good as he is now.
But no matter how bad it was at that time, it was still his thought. Now, this thought of everything being good no longer belongs to him...
He Zhichu raised his head and said indifferently: "It turns out that Mr. Huo's care was reckless. She was originally a delicate little princess, but she was trained by you as one of your big soldiers. She didn't grow crooked even after thinking about it. It was really a loss of her good foundation. ."
Huo Shaoheng immediately grasped the clues in He Zhichu's words and asked: "Huh? How did Professor He know that Nian Zhi was a charming little princess before? - You can't tell at all..."
He Zhichu came to his senses at this moment and found out that Huo Shaoheng was also taking the opportunity to find out about Gu Nianzhi's origins from him.
He suddenly felt wary, but he also knew that he couldn't turn too harshly. Since he wanted to recognize the memory, Huo Shaoheng had to pass this level, otherwise, there would be many obstacles.
Of course, he must know what to say and what not to say.
And you can't be in a hurry, Nian Zhi is still resistant to him, otherwise you will fall short.
He Zhichu raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Master Huo, how would I know if Nianzhi was a delicate little princess before? I just infer from common sense that as long as little girls today have parents, not all of them belong to the family. Little princess?"
"So Professor He guessed it?" Huo Shaoheng said meaningfully, "I thought Professor He knew about Nian Zhi's previous situation. This time her roommate used her life experience to insult her, which made me very sad. We have been working hard to find out I don’t know what happened to Nianzhi’s parents, but I can’t find them.”
"She's living a good life with you. I don't think she has any intention of looking for her parents." He Zhichu also started to play tacit charades with Huo Shaoheng.
One of them made demands and the other made conditions, both weighing whether the other could maximize their own interests.
Of course, this profit maximization is Gu Nianzhi's profit maximization.
"This is because she is sensible and does not put more pressure on us." Huo Shaoheng sighed, lowered his head and said calmly: "But I know that deep down she really wants to find her parents and family."
"Why do you say that?" No matter how calm He Zhichu's voice was, there was a hint of urgency at this time.
"Because she once recited her parents' names when she had a high fever." Huo Shaoheng deliberately spoke vaguely. In fact, Gu Nianzhi only mentioned her father's name, not her mother.
"Ah? Did you only mention her parents' names? Didn't you mention other names?" He Zhichu endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help showing a look of obvious disappointment.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head, "No, it was only mentioned once, and we searched based on that name, but we couldn't find it."
He Zhichu's face was as cold and cold as an ice sculpture. His eyes fell directly on the door of the small study and he didn't speak for a long time.
Huo Shaoheng didn't rush him. He looked at the coffee that had cooled down in the coffee cup, then got up and walked around the living room of He Zhichu's suite a few times.
When He Zhichu's eyes moved over, Huo Shaoheng bowed and said, "Excuse me, Professor He, is there any more coffee? The cup just now has gone cold."
"Yes, it's in the kitchen over there." He Zhichu pointed to the kitchen, "Young Master Huo can do it yourself."
He had already noticed that Huo Shaoheng didn't drink coffee made by others.
It's a good habit, and he has it too.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and walked into He Zhichu's kitchen. He saw the location of the coffee machine at a glance. He took a ready-made coffee bag, put it in the coffee machine, and started making coffee.
…
After Zhao Liangze finished writing the inspection, Gu Nianzhi copied it again, and then looked at it carefully from beginning to end. When he felt that there were no problems, he said to Zhao Liangze, "Is that all right?"
"Of course, I don't care who wrote it." Zhao Liangze almost raised his tail with pride.
Gu Nianzhi pursed his lips and smiled softly. He gently opened the door of the small study room with the examination in hand and poked his head out. He saw only He Zhichu sitting in the living room. Huo Shaoheng didn't know where he was.
She called out softly: "Professor He? The examination is ready."
He Zhichu came to his senses and nodded towards her, "Show me."
Gu Nianzhi came out with the examination, handed it to He Zhichu with some embarrassment, and murmured: "... My handwriting is not good, don't make me laugh."
He Zhichu held the coffee cup in one hand and the letter paper in the other. When he saw Gu Nianzhi's hand crawling like crabs on it, he smiled speechlessly and whispered: "... After all these years, your handwriting is still the same. Not practiced well.”
"Ah? Professor He, what did you say?" He Zhichu's voice was too soft, and Gu Nianzhi was too busy looking for Huo Shaoheng to hear what he said clearly.
"I said you have to practice calligraphy." He Zhichu put down the coffee cup and folded Gu Nianzhi's examination, "I'll keep this examination for now. Don't worry, your personal information won't be included."
Gu Nianzhi let out a big sigh, with a smile on his face, "Really?! Professor He really won't put this examination into my personal information?!"
"No. The matter between you and Miao Yunxiao is not that simple. So this time, it is not your fault. But the purpose of writing the examination is to let you remember it." He Zhichu's expression was a little cold, "How dare you touch me?" People, let me see how many heads they have!"
