Seeing Gu Yanran, He Zhichu's cold and indifferent face also had a trace of movement, but that trace of movement disappeared very quickly, just like a drop of rainwater that quickly merged into the sea and was never traced again.
Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at He Zhichu and saw that he was smiling at Gu Yanran, so he could only nod politely to Gu Yanran, "It's Miss Gu." Then he said to Xue Jingjiang: "Brother Xue, come and accompany Gu. Where’s dinner, miss?”
"Isn't that right? I just came to have dinner with Miss Gu, but she still doesn't appreciate it!" Xue Jingjiang winked at Gu Nianzhi and asked, "Eh? You're not with Mr. Huo?"
This sentence is somewhat ambiguous.
A bad response will make people think about it.
Gu Nianzhi played Tai Chi with him: "Today is Sunday night. Mr. Huo has to work and I have to go to school. How can we have dinner together?"
"Oh haha! I forgot about it!" Although Xue Jingjiang was talking to Gu Nianzhi, he kept looking at Gu Yanran from the corner of his eye.
Somehow, Gu Yanran was very affectionate towards Gu Nianzhi. She stepped forward, took Gu Nianzhi's hand, put her other hand on her shoulder, and pressed it lightly, "Nianzhi, it's great to meet you. After saying that, she looked at He Zhichu and said, "Lawyer He, do you want to share a table with us for dinner?"
"We've already eaten." He Zhichu was also very polite to Gu Yanran. He didn't feel the cold distance like he did to others. He nodded slightly, "You guys eat, I'll take Nianzhi back to school first."
Gu Yanran had no choice but to step aside and turned to watch He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi walking out of the restaurant door.
Xue Jingjiang saw that Gu Yanran's eyes were not on the noble and handsome He Zhichu, but was still looking at Gu Nianzhi reluctantly. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yanran, why are you looking at Nianzhi like this?"
"What is my look?" Gu Yanran turned around in surprise and couldn't help but touch her face with one hand, "Is my look scary? Did it scare Nian Zhi? Oh, what should I do? I don't want her to be afraid. I."
"Tch! Why should she be afraid of you?" Xue Jingjiang shook his head, "Nianzhi is not a petty person, and certainly not a timid person. Let me tell you, a little girl who can grow up with Mr. Huo, You can’t be a coward!”
"Oh? Really? I heard you said it once before, didn't you mean that Nianzhi is a distant relative of Mr. Huo?" Gu Yanran seemed to be very interested in the relationship between Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
Xue Jingjiang finally found something to talk about with Gu Yanran, and of course he would not give up.
The two chatted while walking, and soon walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window, which happened to be where Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi were sitting at the beginning.
After ordering, the conversation continued.
It's a pity that Xue Jingjiang doesn't know much about Huo Shaoheng's affairs, most of them are his subjective assumptions.
Gu Yanran discovered it after listening for a while, but she did not interrupt Xue Jingjiang's rhetoric. On the contrary, she often looked at Xue Jingjiang with a smile and encouraged him to continue talking.
"You mean, she started following Mr. Huo six years ago? How old was she then?"
"Twelve, right? Thirteen maybe? I don't remember clearly." Xue Jingjiang calculated it based on his age. In fact, he didn't know the circumstances under which Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng.
But this bit of news was enough for Gu Yanran.
She was still talking to Xue Jingjiang with a smile, but actually she was thinking about Gu Nianzhi.
Everything about Gu Nianzhi's situation is so similar to her sister's. What's going on
She was thinking, looking aimlessly out the French window, and suddenly froze.
…
Gu Nianzhi followed He Zhichu outside the restaurant, and He Zhichu said to her, "Wait here while I go get the car."
"How about I walk back by myself." Gu Nianzhi hurriedly declined, "It's not far from the school. Qiqi and I just walked here."
"It's okay. Picking up the car will be quick. Just wait for me for three minutes." He Zhichu patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder without any doubt, then turned and left.
He walked so fast that Gu Nianzhi didn't catch up.
It's only a few steps anyway, so it doesn't matter if she waits.
Gu Nianzhi put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood next to a big tree in front of the restaurant, humming a song and waiting for He Zhichu to drive his car over.
After a while, she felt something burning on the back of her neck, as if she was being stared at.
Gu Nianzhi glanced back casually, wondering if he was worrying too much, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and suddenly turned back again, his mouth closed in surprise.
I saw a tall and handsome man standing under another tree, wearing a black windbreaker, it was Huo Shaoheng!
When Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi looking over, he was slightly startled and slowly walked out from the shade of the tree.
The two of them stood under two trees. You looked at me and I looked at you. I don't know if I was too shocked or too entangled. They didn't walk over, just looking at each other across a small flower bed.
The street lamps in front of the tree shades emit bright incandescent light, making the bright places brighter and the dark places darker.
Between black and white, light and shadow, the two looked at each other silently.
The noisy restaurants and bright red lanterns have become their background.
It took a while, until the sound of brakes broke the silence between the two of them.
Without thinking, he subconsciously glanced in the direction where the braking sound came from. It turned out that He Zhichu had returned from picking up his car.
He parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, walked to Gu Nianzhi, and said to Huo Shaoheng behind the flower garden, "Mr. Huo, are you here for dinner too?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded towards He Zhichu, "Good evening, Professor He." After saying that, he concentrated for a moment and stretched out his hand to Gu Nianzhi: "Nianzhi, come here."
Gu Nianzhi bit his lip, and after a while, he said to He Zhichu: "Professor He, please go back first. I have something else to do."
He Zhichu was keenly aware of Gu Nianzhi's embarrassment, and detected a hint of something unusual in her and Huo Shaoheng's attitudes.
But he didn't say anything more and bowed to Huo Shaoheng, "Mr. Huo, please take Nianzhi back to the dormitory later." After that, he said to Gu Nianzhi: "Is half an hour enough for you to solve the problem? If it’s enough, I’ll call you in half an hour to see if you’ve returned to the dormitory.”
Huo Shaoheng calmly watched He Zhichu fight back at him, still stretched out his hand towards Gu Nianzhi, and said again: "Nianzhi, come here." His voice became deeper and deeper.
Gu Nianzhi knew that this was a manifestation of Huo Shaoheng's accumulated anger, and quickly said to He Zhichu: "One hour, one hour is enough."
"One hour is not enough." Seeing that Gu Nianzhi couldn't come over, Huo Shaoheng finally strode over, "Professor He, Nianzhi will have class on time tomorrow." As he said that, he had already held Gu Nianzhi's hand and turned to leave.
Gu Nianzhi was pulled by Huo Shaoheng and staggered, and couldn't help but look back at He Zhichu.
I saw He Zhichu standing there alone under the bright street light. The light tilted down from the top of his head, and only an unusually dignified figure could be seen. His face was hidden in the dark area formed by the light, and could not be seen. Check out his expression.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt a little soft-hearted and waved back to He Zhichu, "Professor He! You go back first! I will go to your office tomorrow morning!"
Huo Shaoheng's hand tightened, but he didn't look back, pulling Gu Nianzhi and striding away.
He Zhichu's face brightened slightly, he raised his arms to Gu Nianzhi and made an "OK" gesture, then opened the door of the car parked on the roadside, got in the car and drove away.
Huo Shaoheng held Gu Nianzhi's hand and walked to his Hummer SUV parked on the opposite side of the street. He opened the door and said coldly to Gu Nianzhi: "Get in the car."
"Master Huo, it's already very late. I want to go back to the dormitory." Gu Nianzhi dared to reject Huo Shaoheng with almost trepidation.
She actually had no confidence in her heart. If Huo Shaoheng left without saying a word, she felt that she still had to catch up...
"It won't take you a lot of time." Huo Shaoheng looked away and said calmly: "If you don't want to, forget it."
He stopped urging Gu Nianzhi, and with great perseverance, he pulled himself away from Gu Nianzhi, walked to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in.
After inserting the key and starting the car, Huo Shaoheng held the steering wheel with both hands without looking in Gu Nianzhi's direction, just like he had done various temptation-resistant training in the Special Operations Department before.
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was not joking, Gu Nianzhi hurriedly opened the car door and got in.
…
In the E restaurant, through a floor-to-ceiling window, Gu Yanran and Xue Jingjiang took in this scene.
Huo Shaoheng's Hummer SUV drove Gu Nianzhi Juechen away, but Gu Yanran couldn't take her eyes back for a long time.
Xue Jingjiang coughed lightly and said, "Yanran, they have left..."
Gu Yanran came back to her senses and smiled at him, "Master Huo seems to be very strict with Nian Zhi, which makes me feel bad."
