"Oh, I didn't have my phone with me just now, so I didn't hear it. Now I have to use my phone to see it." Gu Nianzhi's tone softened a little.
Her mood was very complicated. She had a really bad impression of Gu Yanran at first because what Gu Yanran did to Huo Shaoheng was unreasonable.
Now, the impression can't be said to be good, but it is not as bad as it was at the beginning, because after all, she is Gu Nianzhi's sister. Regardless of whether he remembers her or not, the legal relationship is there.
Moreover, this time when they went to Barbados to take Gu Xiangwen back to China, Gu Yanran did not obstruct her as much as they imagined, so Gu Nianzhi's bad feelings were even less aroused.
Gu Yanran also noticed the change in Gu Nianzhi's tone. The corners of her lips turned up slightly, her narrow eyes narrowed, and she showed a very charming smile, "Oh, that's right. I thought you didn't want to answer my call..."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi smiled, "What did Ms. Gu do to think that I won't answer your call?"
Gu Yanran was choked by Gu Nianzhi, her heart moved, and she smiled slightly and said: "Nianzhi, I am more and more convinced that you are my sister now. You were so good at talking when you were a child."
Gu Nianzhi obviously choked Gu Yanran, but she said that he could talk, and his tone was still affectionate, and he was generous enough not to take her words seriously. He really looked like a competent person. Good sister.
Gu Nianzhi held her cell phone and leaned against the wall beside the dormitory window, looking at the scenery outside the window.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark. The street lamps were lit up in rows, emitting a warm yellow light in the night sky. People were coming and going downstairs, and everyone had a relaxed and happy smile on their face.
This situation affected Gu Nianzhi, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and smile.
"Really? What was I like when I was a child?" Gu Nianzhi asked softly, holding the phone in his hand, his tone softer.
"Don't you remember? When you were a child, you were very smart and well-spoken. Your parents and I loved you very much." Gu Yanran picked up the photo with one hand and put it in front of her, looking at the chubby little girl in the photo. , tutted twice.
With such a huge difference in appearance, I can only admire the wonder of the Creator...
Gu Nianzhi couldn't remember how she got along with the Gu family and Gu Yanran when she was a child. Gu Yanran's words echoed in her ears, but she couldn't piece together the image.
"Nianzhi, why didn't you speak?" Gu Yanran waited for a while, but when she saw that Gu Nianzhi still didn't speak, she couldn't help but ask.
When Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses, her stomach growled loudly. She smiled and said, "Oh, I'm a little hungry. I was just about to order takeout."
"Ah? You haven't had dinner yet?" Gu Yanran looked at her watch, "It's already past nine o'clock in the evening. How come you kid can't take care of yourself?"
Gu Nianzhi returned to his laptop with a smile, clicked the mouse with one hand, and simply went to the website to order food. He said at the same time: "There is a lot of homework today, and there is nothing I can do to meet the deadline."
"Oh? Too much homework? Your tutor is Professor He, right? How could he give you so much homework?" Gu Yanran said in a reproachful tone, "I'll ask him."
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Ms. Gu, it's because I've taken a leave of absence, so I accumulated homework. It's not that Professor He assigned a lot of homework."
Hearing that it was because of asking for leave, Gu Yanran nodded clearly and her tone became more kind: "There is a reason for that. He should be considerate of you. - Sister, help you tell me."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Nianzhi to respond, he sighed and said: "Poor Nianzhi, you have been living under someone else's roof for these years, and you have been unable to tell anyone about your grievances, right? Don't be afraid, now you have a sister, what's wrong with you? , you can tell your sister, and she will help you resolve it. If someone offends you and treats you badly, you can also tell your sister, and she will help you resolve it."
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, she just wanted to touch her forehead. She had been following Huo Shaoheng for six or seven years, but she had never felt like she was "beholden to someone else."
"Ms. Gu, I..." Before Gu Yanran could finish her words, Gu Yanran interrupted her again and said, "Nianzhi, you should call me sister."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Well, the takeout I ordered is here. I won't say more. We'll talk when we have time later." Gu Nianzhi still couldn't call her "sister". She didn't want to talk any more and found an excuse to hang up the phone.
Gu Yanran looked at the screen of her phone, shook her head, and sent a text message to Gu Nianzhi: "I'll pick you up for dinner tomorrow."
Not long after Gu Nianzhi put down the phone, her takeaway actually arrived.
I hurriedly went downstairs to get it back, and sat on the dining table in the living room. Just after it was set, the door lock clicked, and Ma Qiqi pushed the door open and came in.
"Nianzhi? Are you having a late-night snack?" Ma Qiqi also carried a box of takeout in her hand, "I bought Spanish paella, do you want to eat it together?"
The Spanish paella has a strong taste. Gu Nianzhi didn't want to eat such strong food at night. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, you can eat it yourself. I have almond tofu, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, and a mushroom and cabbage dish." , do you want to try it?”
"Well, they are all light." Ma Qiqi pouted, "I'd better eat my Spanish paella..."
The two set the tableware and sat down across from each other, eating and chatting.
Ma Qiqi actually wanted to ask Gu Nianzhi where he had been these past few days and what he was doing, but Gu Nianzhi didn't take the initiative to ask, so she couldn't ask directly. She just went around and said, "Have you finished all your things? You are leaving that day." You were in such a hurry that some teachers in the department even asked about you."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "It's okay, I just went out to visit my relatives, and I'm fine now."
"Oh." Seeing that Gu Nianzhi still didn't want to talk, Ma Qiqi stopped asking and started talking about things in the department.
The two of them happily finished their supper and returned to the same state of getting along before Gu Nianzhi asked for leave. Their moods improved.
After Gu Nianzhi returned to his room, he did his homework for a while. Seeing that it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, he turned off the computer and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After she came out, she couldn't sleep again. She sat in bed and played with her phone, wondering whether to call Huo Shaoheng.
But as she stroked Huo Shaoheng's name on her phone, she felt a little aggrieved.
Huo Shaoheng didn't even call her all day today.
It would be fine if he was out on a mission or had an emergency meeting, but he was clearly just holding some regular meetings today.
He could take advantage of the opportunity to call her or send her a text message during the meeting, but he didn't.
She shouldn't take the initiative to call again.
Gu Nianzhi angrily turned off her phone and went to sleep in bed.
…
At the same time, Huo Shaoheng was still awake. He had just returned from the regular meeting of the Military Supreme Committee. He had a lot of things on his hands, but he was still thinking about the marriage application report. He took out his mobile phone and made another call to General Ji. .
"Admiral Ji, have you seen my application?"
"I saw it, the organization has already discussed it. But, Shao Heng, why did you apply for it without even taking care of your own family members?" Admiral Ji quietly said to him, "Your father is opposed..."
