It was already noon when Gu Nianzhi made the call.
Huo Shaoheng had just returned from the Upper House of Parliament. At this time, he was having lunch in his room and watching the national defense briefing, preparing for the high-level talks of the Ministry of National Defense in the afternoon.
Hearing the ringtone of his cell phone, he glanced over and saw that it was the number of the intercom number from Gu Nianzhi's bedroom at the Special Operations Department station.
Yesterday, Yin Shixiong said that Gu Nianzhi had a sudden vacation and was going to stay at the station for a few days.
Probably she has already moved in.
Otherwise no one will call this phone number.
Thinking of what happened at the Dufeng Mountain Resort last night, Huo Shaoheng slid his phone away with his long and strong fingers.
Before he could speak, Gu Nianzhi's surprised voice came over: "Uncle Huo?!"
"Well." Huo Shaoheng put down the briefing paper in his hand, "Nianzhi, are you here at the station?"
"Yes, Brother Daxiong picked me up at midnight last night." Gu Nianzhi's voice is usually crisp and charming, but now that he has just woken up, his voice is soft and hoarse, sounding like a cat's little padded paws. Scratching and scratching on the ears, most people can't resist the charming charm.
Huo Shaoheng was unmoved at all, and said "Hmm" in a deep and deep voice, "Aren't you up yet?"
"Yes, I just woke up." Gu Nianzhi gradually regained consciousness. She blinked, still holding the phone in her hand. What she saw when she opened her eyes was not her university dormitory, nor her apartment in Fengya Community, but herself in The bedroom in the small building where Huo Shaoheng was stationed was stunned for a moment.
Her gesture of dialing the phone was so innocent, so embarrassing.
However, while Gu Nianzhi despised himself, he still couldn't bear to hang up the phone.
Uncle Huo finally answered her call. Was it stupid to hang up
Gu Nianzhi turned over in bed, with a sweet smile on his face. He almost held the phone in his hands and put it to his ears, not allowing any sound to leak out.
Huo Shaoheng heard the tiredness and hoarseness in her voice, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Then sleep a little longer, I'll hang up."
"Hey! Don't hang up!" Gu Nianzhi suddenly became anxious. Holding the phone, he turned over and rolled down the narrow crotch with a bang.
Huo Shaoheng: "... read it?"
"Uncle Huo, I'm fine! I just fell off the bed..." Gu Nianzhi was extremely nervous, "Don't hang up the phone!"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time, and then said "Yeah" again, his voice became deeper and richer, "Don't worry, I won't worry."
Gu Nianzhi took a long breath, holding the phone and slowly sitting on a small piece of soft sheep's wool blanket spread on the floor in front of the bed, leaning against her crib, and straightened her long legs.
Huo Shaoheng's words kept echoing in her ears. It was just a simple sentence, but it actually made her feel breathless.
Gu Nianzhi held the phone, feeling dizzy, and her nose started to feel sore again. She wanted to cry and act coquettishly, but Huo Shaoheng had never been a man who would compromise if you acted coquettishly...
After following him for six years, Gu Nianzhi was very familiar with this.
She rubbed her nose gently.
Huo Shaoheng waited for a long time and didn't hear her speak. He wondered if she had fallen asleep again, so he lowered his voice and called again: "... Nianzhi?"
"Here!" Gu Nianzhi immediately shouted out reflexively, just like Huo Shaoheng's soldiers.
The corners of Huo Shaoheng's lips raised a fleeting arc, but his voice was still calm and thick, without any difference, "Are you still sleepy? If you are, just continue to sleep."
"No! I'm not sleepy!" Gu Nianzhi hurriedly denied, but her mind felt groggy and like a ball of mush. She had obviously thought of a lot of things to say to Huo Shaoheng, but now she couldn't think of a single word.
She pinched her thigh hard with her hands, and a stinging pain made her finally wake up.
Gu Nianzhi adjusted his breathing slowly, twisted the long phone cord with his fingers, and said, "Uncle Huo, I saw you went to the Dufeng Mountain Resort yesterday."
Huo Shaoheng said nothing.
"Did you see me yesterday? Why didn't you stop the car?" Gu Nianzhi waited for a while, and when Huo Shaoheng didn't answer, he thought he was acquiescing, so he plucked up the courage to ask again.
"...Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll hang up." Huo Shaoheng still didn't answer her, and his tone became even calmer.
Gu Nianzhi's heart suddenly tightened, and he had to change the subject: "Something happened, something happened. Uncle Huo, I want to tell you that Brother Li was injured because of me, and I want to go see him."
"Well, ask Zhang Zhan to arrange it for you." Huo Shaoheng did not stop him.
This time Huo Shaoheng agreed readily. Gu Nianzhi was encouraged and immediately said, "Also, Uncle Huo, I want to return the apartment in Fengya Community to you."
Ever since Huo Shaoheng moved his things from the apartment in Fengya Community last time, Gu Nianzhi never called Huo Shaoheng again.
After finally waiting until now, she had the opportunity to say these words herself.
Huo Shaoheng: "... Do you think that apartment is too small? Okay, I will change it for you to a bigger one."
"No, no, no! No! Of course it's not too small!" Three black lines fell on Gu Nianzhi's forehead, which made him go crazy.
"Since it's not too small, why not?" Huo Shaoheng felt that he wanted to smoke again. He took the cigarette case from the table with one hand, smoked a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then lit it and took a deep breath.
"... Because this is Uncle Huo's house, not mine, and I can't have it." Gu Nianzhi said sternly.
Huo Shaoheng was just a guardian assigned by the military. Gu Nianzhi knew this very well and she didn't want to take advantage of him too much.
"Oh, that's right. When you turn eighteen in October, you won't need a guardian." Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and flicked a cigarette on the table with one hand, "It seems that you can't wait until now." If you want to draw a clear line with me, fine, that’s up to you.”
Nani? !
Gu Nianzhi was so frightened by Huo Shaoheng's words that she almost had a myocardial infarction. It was completely different from what she expected!
Countless reasons that she had imagined before suddenly sprouted little wings and flew out of her mind.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help crying immediately: "No... I didn't... Uncle Huo, I didn't want to draw a clear line with you... I really didn't... wuwuwuwu..."
Huo Shaoheng didn't speak when he heard Gu Nianzhi crying while holding the phone.
He waited quietly for her to finish crying, then put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and asked calmly: "Do you still want that house?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I want it!" Gu Nianzhi choked and nodded hurriedly.
"Well, be good." Huo Shaoheng picked up the national defense briefing in one hand and said, "Go wash your face and wipe your tears."
Gu Nianzhi shook his head: "No, I won't hang up." He wiped it with the back of his hand.
Huo Shaoheng: "..."
"You go and wash, I'll wait for you." Huo Shaoheng turned on the speakerphone of his cell phone, opened the national defense briefing, sat back on the sofa, and started reading from the first page.
