He Zhichu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The moonlight shone in from the window, outlining a clear and elegant silhouette.
He put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched Huo Shaoheng wake up Gu Nianzhi in silence.
Gu Nianzhi was sleeping very deeply, and Huo Shaoheng couldn't wake her up just by shouting.
He called her several times, but found that Gu Nianzhi still didn't wake up, so he finally had to pull away the blanket covering her head and pick her up from the sofa.
The huge sound rising into the sky finally alerted Gu Nianzhi.
She opened her eyes hazily, took a look, and immediately fell asleep again.
Huo Shaoheng raised his head and glanced at He Zhichu, "Professor He, what exactly did you say to Nianzhi? Did you hypnotize her?"
"Hypnosis? Mr. Huo, you think too highly of me. I'm not that good yet."
Seeing the way Huo Shaoheng wanted to be angry but could only endure it, He Zhichu's mood improved, "Mr. Huo, I think you can understand my mood."
He stood proudly in front of the window, his eyes falling on Gu Nianzhi, and then quickly moved away to look at the antique plum vase in the corner of the room, "It's getting late, please trouble Mr. Huo to take Nianzhi back to the dormitory. Before leaving, Remember to close the door."
After He Zhichu finished speaking, he walked back to his bedroom without looking back and closed the bedroom door with a bang.
Zhao Liangze didn't dare to express his anger, so he followed Huo Shaoheng out of the room, and then carefully helped He Zhichu close the door.
The two of them took Gu Nianzhi to the elevator. Zhao Liangze hesitated for a moment and then reminded him: "Master Huo, isn't it a good idea to take Nianzhi back to the dormitory like this?"
You can't just take her back like this...
Huo Shaoheng seemed to have thought of this as well. He hesitated for a while and finally let Gu Nianzhi go.
Gu Nianzhi was almost hanging on Huo Shaoheng, his legs were dangling and he was so weak that he couldn't stand at all.
"What happened? Are you so sleepy?" Huo Shaoheng said in confusion, holding Gu Nianzhi's waist with one hand and letting her lean against him.
Zhao Liangze stared at the sleeping Gu Nianzhi for a while and said, "She already said she was sleepy at around nine o'clock. Maybe she is really sleepy. Children do tend to be sleepier as they grow older."
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
It was strange to hear Zhao Liangze's words. He didn't answer, and just half-supported and half-carried Gu Nianzhi out of the elevator of the professor building.
After entering the special car, Yin Shixiong, who was waiting in the car, turned around to see him, scratched his head and said, "At this point, Nianzhi and their dormitory have locked the door, right?"
"Probably not. This is a graduate student dormitory, which is different from undergraduate students." Zhao Liangze checked the dormitory management rules of University B. "It's just that the building management aunt may have some opinions. And... you can't carry her in."
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was sleeping in his arms, "Then wake her up."
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other and got out of the car together, "Master Huo, please call, we will wait outside."
Even the driver Fan Jian got out of the car.
The three people were positioned at the front and back of the car, watching the surroundings like bodyguards.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head speechlessly.
What dirty things are these three people thinking about
He thought for a while, and finally took hold of Gu Nianzhi's wrist, moved it upward, and finally pinched the numb area of her elbow hard.
The biting soreness made Gu Nianzhi finally move. She muttered and twisted in Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to increase his efforts and finally made Gu Nianzhi gradually wake up from his deep sleep.
She moved her arm belatedly and murmured: "... Professor He... it hurts..."
"Are you awake?" Huo Shaoheng took her arm and rubbed it, "I can't wake you up without pinching you. Did you take the wrong medicine? Why did He Zhichu sleep so deeply?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked and realized that the person in front of him was Huo Shaoheng, not He Zhichu.
She straightened up again in a daze, looked around, and found that she was not in He Chu's living room, but in the car.
"Master Huo, why are you here? Didn't you leave me and go to a meeting?" She complained softly and snuggled into Huo Shaoheng's arms.
Huo Shaoheng did not push her away, but he also did not reach out to hug her. He just asked: "What did He Zhichu say to you? Why did you fall asleep at his house?"
Gu Nianzhi frowned and thought about it for a moment, then murmured: "... Professor He showed me the dolls, and then I wanted to recall what happened before I was twelve years old, but I couldn't think of anything. I had a terrible headache. I thought I was about to die, and then I fainted from the pain.”
She stood up and looked at Huo Shaoheng, "Then I opened my eyes again and saw Mr. Huo coming..."
Huo Shaoheng pinched her delicate little nose, "Can you fall asleep just by looking at a doll? Are you hypnotized by him?"
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi denied it. "I remember clearly. I had a headache that was about to split open. I have never had such severe pain. The previous pain pales in comparison to this time."
"Really?" Huo Shaoheng glanced at her, "What kind of doll is that? Can you react so violently?"
"...the dolls you ordered for me, Mr. Huo, are exactly the same as the ones in my photo." Gu Nianzhi said bitterly, "They also look a bit like Wen Shouyi."
She couldn't understand why she liked a doll that looked similar to Wen Shouyi when she was a child...
"He Zhichu showed you a doll that was exactly the same as the one in your photo?" Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly, "You didn't ask him where he got that doll?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "I asked, but he asked me to think for myself, and then I did this..."
She pointed to her head, "I think it's really possible that I'll never regain my memory."
Huo Shaoheng took a deep look at her and said, "Go back to the dormitory first. After next week's weekend, I will take you to the display to check and see what is going on."
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi put his head on Huo Shaoheng's shoulder and whispered: "Master Huo, I just wished you could stay with me..."
Huo Shaoheng turned his body sideways so that Gu Nianzhi could lean on him better, but he did not let go and said calmly: "Today is a special meeting of the military department. I can't stay."
Gu Nianzhi was a little unhappy, but he knew it was not Huo Shaoheng's fault, so he became even more unhappy.
In fact, she knew she shouldn't have such emotions, but she just couldn't control herself.
Fortunately, she just kept silent when she was unhappy. Although Huo Shaoheng noticed it, it was too late now and he couldn't comfort her anymore, so he sent her back to the dormitory.
Gu Nianzhi opened the door of his dormitory and saw that Ma Qiqi was already asleep and the lights were dark in her room.
The living room was still the same as when she left it, a little messy, the small cushions on the sofa were swaying here and there, and a few small stools were tumbling in the corners of the room.
Gu Nianzhi sighed, walked straight across the messy living room, and entered his room.
Huo Shaoheng watched the lights turn on in Gu Nianzhi's room downstairs, and then saw the text message she sent him: "Good night", and then ordered Fan Jian in the front row, "Drive."
This means going back.
Fan Jian started the car and drove away from University B.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze didn't say a word in the car.
It wasn't until they returned to the headquarters that they heard Huo Shaoheng say to the two of them: "You urge the South American side to see how the investigation is going. Since it is such a powerful force, don't tell me that nothing can be found."
The two of them felt that Huo Shaoheng was a little irritable, which was rare.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze looked at each other and responded in unison.
…
The next day was Monday, and Gu Nianzhi had class in the morning.
She got up early, bought breakfast, put it on the table, and went out first.
The place where he wanted to go to class was still He Zhichu's suite in the professor's building.
As soon as she entered the elevator of the professor building, she saw her senior sister and counselor Gui Suyao running over, "Wait for the elevator! Wait for the elevator!"

This is the first update. Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes.
From now on, the next three chapters will be released regularly, and I will get on the plane tonight.
Dear friends, I'm sorry, I really don't have time recently, so I would rather write less than just cram the word count. O(∩_∩)O~.
Second update at 7pm.
