"Ah?" Gu Nianzhi was a little stunned, "You are going to our class Christmas dance? But..."
"But what? Don't they welcome you?" He Zhichu said slowly, putting one hand in his coat pocket and tightening it gradually, "Or, you don't want me to go?"
"Of course not." She denied it subconsciously. She held her cell phone and sat up from the bed, pulled the quilt up to her neck, and said cautiously: "Professor He, this Christmas dance is actually for the classmates in the class to communicate with each other. Get to know each other.”
If the professor went, Gu Nianzhi really didn't dare to think about what that occasion would be like...
He Zhichu sneered, "Are you afraid of dragging you down? Don't worry, I'll go by myself and it won't affect you." He cut off the phone with that.
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly when he heard the blind beeping sound coming from the other side.
She actually didn't care about this, but when she thought about it carefully, there did seem to be something wrong with He Zhichu going to the Christmas ball with her.
He Zhichu is a professor, and she is a student, his teaching assistant and assistant.
Because of work and study, they spend more time together.
Although Gu Nianzhi didn't have close contact with her classmates, she still knew that some people were gossiping about her behind her back.
She was open-minded, so she didn't take it to heart at all.
But if the Yule Ball appears at the same time, the gossip behind the scenes will probably be even worse...
Gu Nianzhi didn't care, but knowing this kind of thing would hurt the teacher's reputation even more.
So she didn't call back.
If He Zhichu had another way to go to their class's Christmas dance, Gu Nianzhi would be quite happy to say it.
After all, she didn't know many classmates in her class, and Ma Qiqi, with whom she had the best relationship, had made it clear that she wouldn't go because she had a date with her boyfriend on the weekend.
Gu Nian went to a Christmas dance alone in a place he was unfamiliar with. It was quite embarrassing when he thought about it.
But if He Zhichu also goes, it would be good to talk to him then.
As long as he didn't arrive at the same time as her, no one would gossip.
After Gu Nianzhi thought it through, he no longer struggled.
He lifted the quilt and got up from bed, grabbed the nightgown from the bedside and put it on, then opened the closet and picked out the clothes for today's dance.
Since it's a dance, you'll probably have to wear a skirt.
Autumn and winter skirts are too thick to dance with.
She searched in the closet for a long time and found a high-slit dress with sloping shoulders and apricot-colored heavy silk.
The quality of the silk was very good, and it was as smooth as clear running water under the light.
The hem of the skirt is inlaid with several bunches of flower branches made of lotus-colored silk, which are lifelike and just like the real thing.
Putting it on her body and taking a look in the mirror, it made her skin more white, tender and delicate.
She shook out her skirt, took off her nightgown, and put it on casually.
Because I wasn't wearing a bra, I just finished adjusting my skirt when I saw two obvious bulges on my chest in the mirror.
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Huo Shaoheng came out of the bathroom, leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms and looked at her.
He was neatly dressed, but not in regular clothes, but in casual clothes.
A white shirt with a small stand-up collar. I can't tell what brand it is. It fits so well. It's probably custom-made.
The slender trousers were as straight as peaks, wrapping his long legs, and even the belt around his waist had an aura of abstinence.
Bind his wild nature tightly.
Gu Nianzhi blinked and looked at Huo Shaoheng in the mirror, chatting up and saying, "... How about wearing this dress to the dance tonight?"
Huo Shaoheng came over, put a hand on her shoulder, bent down slightly, and was eye level with her, and said briefly but firmly in her ear: "... No."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Why not? This skirt will definitely look good when dancing." Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng argued, trying to reason with him: "I can also dance Latin dance. Look at this opening. When the time comes to expose my legs and kick them out, it will definitely look gorgeous. Shocked the whole audience.”
She pointed to the diagonally splayed curve near the thigh under the dress and showed it to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes, then reached out to touch her thigh and said, "If you wear this skirt, it will only make people want to tear it apart..." As he said that, he really grabbed it.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly held his hand, "No! I like this skirt very much! If you dare to tear it, I will..."
"What do you want?" Huo Shaoheng stepped forward and held her slender waist with both hands, his palms feeling slightly hot.
Gu Nianzhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something harsh, but Huo Shaoheng refused to let her speak and lowered his head to kiss her.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly closed her lips, turned her head to prevent him from kissing her, and said vaguely: "Don't... I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."
"I don't dislike you." Huo Shaoheng grabbed her head and kissed her anyway.
While kissing, he took out his mobile phone, took a look at it, and slid it open to open an application-controlled app.
Not long after, a distant and warm music sounded in the house.
When this house was renovated, surround sound Bluetooth speakers were installed in the bedroom and living room.
Gu Nianzhi heard it was Carpenter's famous "Merry-Christman, Darling" (Merry Christmas, my dear baby).
The voice of Carpenter, a singer from half a century ago, has been baptized by the years, like crystal polished by time, becoming more pure and affectionate, without impurities.
Huo Shaoheng took a step back, stretched out his hand, looked down at her, and said softly: "May-I?"
It was actually the prelude to the invitation to dance.
His gaze was so focused that no one could ignore it, and his jade-like eyes seemed to be able to absorb souls.
As if being bewitched, Gu Nianzhi placed her hand in his.
Huo Shaoheng held her soft little hand with one hand and put the other on her waist. He took a step forward and led her to spin in the not spacious bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi never knew that Huo Shaoheng was also a master of ballroom dancing.
His sense of rhythm was very strong and his arms were strong, leading her to dance slowly and smoothly to the slow three-step beat.
Spin and stagger, you advance and I retreat, you advance and I retreat.
The palms of her hands were sweaty and a little wet. Her heart was pounding and her steps were almost panicked. She almost stepped on Huo Shaoheng's feet several times.
But with a little force of his arms, he was able to pick her up and spin her around.
He felt her nervousness, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
The warm lips gradually calmed down Gu Nianzhi's heart. She composed herself and began to dance to Huo Shaoheng's rhythm.
She also learned it. She practiced secretly with Enchantress and the others when she was an undergraduate, but she never had the chance to skip it with others.
She also once had a small selfish wish that her first dance must be with Huo Shaoheng.
If it weren't for Huo Shaoheng, she would never know how to dance in her life.
As a result, so many things happened, she decided to leave him, and her previous wishes disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Huo Shaoheng would quietly fulfill her dream in this way.
Gu Nianzhi lowered his head to hide the moisture in the corners of his eyes.
The music slowed down and only four sentences were repeated:
"All the cards have been sent,
“The busyness of the festival is gradually fading away,
"But I still have one wish I haven't made yet,
"Leave it to the most special you,
"Merry Christmas to you, darling."
When the music finally stopped completely, Huo Shaoheng also stopped.
He picked up Gu Nianzhi, let her feet stand on his, lowered his head and said in her ear: "Merry-Christmas, my-darling."
The pure Oxford accent coupled with his magnetic and deep voice made Gu Nianzhi's heart feel like it was rolled in powdered sugar and poured over with honey. It was so sweet.
Gu Nianzhi hugged Huo Shaoheng's neck tightly, his whole body trembling with emotion.
Huo Shaoheng didn't move and let her hug him tightly. His arms were intertwined behind her to protect her in his arms. He didn't use any force, but it made her feel extremely safe.
The sense of security she cherished most seemed to be returning bit by bit.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi said in a hoarse voice: "... If you don't celebrate foreign festivals, I won't celebrate them either. You won't have to... do this in the future."
Besides, this rare time is just once, she can reminisce about it for a lifetime.
Too much will make it boring.
Huo Shaoheng patted her on the back and said, "It's okay at home."
It's not like going to church to make a big fuss. When they are two people, Huo Shaoheng doesn't mind satisfying Gu Nianzhi's small wishes.
Gu Nianzhi arched her arms in his arms and said softly, "Hmm."
Huo Shaoheng added: "Just keep this dress at home and wear it when dancing with me."
"Okay." Gu Nianzhi agreed obediently. Even if Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything, she planned to keep this skirt as a souvenir.
This is the dress the two of them danced with for the first time, the kind of dress they can remember for a lifetime.
"Let me help you choose an outfit." Huo Shaoheng let go of his arm, "My Nianzhi is so beautiful, she will definitely stun everyone today."
Although the tone was the same as coaxing a child, Gu Nianzhi was content with it and followed Huo Shaoheng to watch him choose the dance skirt for her to wear tonight.
Huo Shaoheng opened her closet and looked at it, picking out a suit from the hanging skirt suits with tags.
Gu Nianzhi took a look and saw that it was a red cocoon-shaped skirt with a very stylish design by Dior. The style was a bit exaggerated, especially on the chest and waist.
Her chest is high and her waist is thin, her legs are long and straight, and even her knees are rare and flawless.
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"Is this too exaggerated?" Gu Nianzhi was a little uneasy.
In fact, this body is too mature and noble, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
It's enough to attend the White House dinner. If you wear it like this for a small class Christmas dance, it's over-dressed.
Boys wearing ordinary clothes would not dare to stand next to her.
"Are the bulges in your skirt just now exaggerated?" Huo Shaoheng said calmly, and went to find jewelry for her again.
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Okay, Gu Nianzhi touched his nose and wisely stopped refuting.
By the time Huo Shaoheng hung the dove egg-sized ruby and diamond necklace around her neck, Gu Nianzhi had already resigned herself to her fate.
It's so glittering, it's probably the right time to let her make a Christmas tree...
After picking out her clothes, Gu Nianzhi went to the bathroom to wash up, took a bath and did some body care.
If a woman takes care of herself, she always feels that there is not enough time.
Fortunately, Huo Shaoheng was busy himself and didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Nianzhi spending three hours in the bathroom.
He sat on the sofa at the door of the bathroom, working on his laptop and keeping an eye on her to prevent her from falling asleep in the bathtub.
Gu Nianzhi finished packing and when she came out of the bathroom, she found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
She was sitting in front of the dressing table blowing her hair. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "Master Huo, how come you are so good at dancing? When did you learn it? Why didn't I know?"
Huo Shaoheng calmly closed his laptop, touched his nose, and looked around, "What time is your dance party tonight? What do you want to eat?"
"Go to the Golden Collar Bar at six o'clock. I'm not hungry now." Gu Nianzhi frowned, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Huo Shaoheng came over, took the hair dryer from her hand, held it in his hand to dry her hair, and said calmly: "This is something that Secretary must learn, everyone can do it. If you don't believe me, ask Nobita and Ozawa."
In fact, Huo Shaoheng didn't want to tell Gu Nianzhi about the content of their training.
It is better to do less than to do more. As a man, he naturally knows how to avoid unnecessary trouble for himself.
Especially for a person like Gu Nianzhi who has a very good brain, not only has a good memory, but also can draw inferences from one instance to another. Huo Shaoheng's intuition is that if he explains everything clearly, there will be endless troubles.
His answer really convinced Gu Nianzhi. She smiled and said, "Then everyone in your department should be a master at flirting with girls. Why are Brother Daxiong and Brother Ozawa still single now?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "We don't flirt with girls, that's our mission."
Just because I know too much, I don’t want to use these things in my life.
They know better than the average person what is true and what is false.
Gu Nianzhi smiled knowingly.
…
Time flies very fast when the two of them are together.
Soon it was half past five. In the winter in the imperial capital, it gets dark very early.
Huo Shaoheng called Fan Jian to come over and drive.
"I'll ask Fan Jian to give you a ride." Huo Shaoheng squinted and handed the necklace around Gu Nianzhi's neck, "Call me when you're done."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, put on his coat, and followed Huo Shaoheng downstairs to the parking lot.
Fan Jian was already waiting in Huo Shaoheng's Bentley SUV.
The two got into the car and sat in the back seat.
Fan Jian quickly drove the car to the road in front of Jinling Bar.
Gu Nianzhi got out of the car, and several classmates waiting at the door of the bar happily waved to her and called her: "Gu Nianzhi! This way!"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and was about to walk over when Huo Shaoheng stopped her from the car, "Nianzhi."
Gu Nianzhi turned around and found that the window of the Bentley had been lowered. Huo Shaoheng was wearing sunglasses, revealing half of his profile, and he was so handsome that it made people heart-throb.
There were no lights on in the car, only the light from the street lamp fell down, making it half-dark and half-dark, making his aura even more mysterious and broad.
"Is something wrong?" Gu Nianzhi walked back, came to the car window, bowed slightly, and looked at Huo Shaoheng sitting in the car in surprise.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly stretched out his hand, grasped Gu Nianzhi's neck, and gently pulled it down.
In front of classmate Gu Nianzhi, he kissed her in front of the bar where the Christmas lights were twinkling and the music was looming.
