Novel Full Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
“Huo Shao, you know that I have a room here?!”
Huo Shaoheng acknowledged casually with an, “Mmhm. When Madam Song was renovating this place, she had specially mentioned that she would like to keep a room for you. I did not object to the idea.”
“Would you be able to object anyway?” Gu Nianzhi felt proud the moment she became happy and felt lighthearted immediately. “Auntie is your mother. You’re able to object to what your mother says? Moreover, Auntie merely knew how to appreciate a genius. Didn’t you see how much Auntie doted on me!?”
Seeing that she was so proud of herself, Huo Shaoheng’s lips curled upwards slightly. That fire burning within him because of her was lit again. Coming to her room, he pushed the door open. Huo Shaoheng did not prepare himself for what he was about to see and was almost blinded by the pink in the room. He remained quiet for a while and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. “You’re sure that you would like to live in this room?”
“Why not? You don’t like it?” Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng and suddenly liked the room. “It was love at first sight for this room in my opinion.” As long as she could make Huo Shaoheng be at a loss for words, Gu Nianzhi felt that she had won.
Closing the door like it didn’t bother him, Huo Shaoheng replied, “As long as you like it.” He pulled Gu Nianzhi toward the bathroom. “Come on. Help me with my shower.”
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
“Come in.” Huo Shaoheng looked at her calmly and said matter-of-factly, “We will be visiting General Ji in a couple of hours’ time. You wouldn’t want me to visit him looking like this, would you?” Under the lights of the bathroom, Huo Shaoheng’s forehead had some perspiration on it. There was just a sheen of it coming from his skin, but he looked exceptionally attractive.
Gu Nianzhi looked away and nodded. “Alright, I’ll turn on the water for you.” She walked towards the bathtub and turned on the tap. Beneath that ever-so-slender waist was her exceptionally round and full butt that looked so tender and bouncy, and it was moving right beside his body.
Huo Shaoheng gulped again and undid the topmost hook from his uniform’s collar. When the water was filled to a suitable depth, Gu Nianzhi straightened up and turned around and saw that Huo Shaoheng had managed to undo the collar hook from his uniform and was attempting to remove his outer layers.
“Let me do it.” Gu Nianzhi walked over and sat Huo Shaoheng down on the chair, and began helping him to remove his clothes. She was extremely careful to avoid his right arm.
“I need to change the dressing for my wound. You can go out now. I’ll do it on my own.” Huo Shaoheng remembered how his wound looked and did not intend to let Gu Nianzhi see it. Although the injury was not serious and didn’t hurt his bones, it did not look good on the outside.
Gu Nianzhi looked gloomily at him and replied, “It’s okay. I’ll change it for you.” She took a first aid kit from the bathroom and took out some bandages and ointment. Then, she asked Huo Shaoheng, “Will these do?”
“Yes. Usual medications will do.” Huo Shaoheng looked at her. “You are really not afraid?”
“I’ve seen worse.” Gu Nianzhi remembered the time when she was being hunted in the Alps in Germany. Her arms were grazed by bullets, and she was even shot in her left leg. Therefore, injuries that were bloody and raw were nothing new to her.
“When have you seen worse before?” Huo Shaoheng was unhappy with that remark. He was sure that he had not let Gu Nianzhi see any of his injuries before.
Gu Nianzhi undid his bandages and looked at the injured area, which was slightly charred, and used her hand to probe it softly. Then, she took a bandage and dipped it in antiseptic before cleaning the wound. Then she said casually, “When I was in Germany, of course. I didn’t tell you about it before, did I? When I was shot that time, it was not just in one spot. I was shot in the arm and shin. However…” She laughed mockingly at herself. “My body is too special. Look, it recovered so quickly that no signs of injury could be seen after just a couple of days. No one would believe me, even if I were to tell anybody.” Therefore, after she had returned, she didn’t bring it up with Huo Shaoheng. In the beginning, she was worried that he might be worried about her. After that, her heart was broken. Therefore, she didn’t think of letting him know.
Now, she only said something because Huo Shaoheng looked worried about letting her see his injury. She did not want any form of sympathy nor praise. She was merely trying to show him that she was not as weak as he thought she was and wouldn’t pass out at the sight of blood.
However, Huo Shaoheng held onto her arm and looked at her. His Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he only spoke after a long while. “…Nianzhi.” His voice was extremely low and hoarse. “…It was my fault you went through that.”
She had been so spoiled under his care for six years, she barely even had the slightest chance of falling down. Who would have expected that she had gone through such torture when she was in the Alps? Huo Shaoheng felt so bad that he could find no words. He merely pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips.
Gu Nianzhi buried her head into his embrace and whispered, “At that time, I really missed you so much… However, I didn’t blame you at all. I knew that you had way more important things on hand. I just didn’t expect that the thing that was more important was to accompany…”
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head, stopping Gu Nianzhi with another kiss. They both remained in that position and kissed for a good while. By the time they let go of each other, they were both panting slightly. Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were dazed. As she looked at Huo Shaoheng under the lighting in the bathroom, they sparkled like stars. Huo Shaoheng supported the back of her neck and kissed her again, as he couldn’t control himself.
Seeing that he was nowhere near stopping, Gu Nianzhi had no other option but to push him away, complaining, “The water is getting cold. Are you going to bathe or not?”
Huo Shaoheng laughed and stood up as he removed his belt, revealing his strong waist.
The muscles on his hips were on display, and Gu Nianzhi’s face flushed. However, she didn’t look away.
Huo Shaoheng unfolded his long legs and got in the bathtub. Gu Nianzhi lathered him up and bathed him quickly. She was shocked that Huo Shaoheng did not take advantage of her. However, she didn’t show it. Very quickly, she took the shower head and washed the bubbles off Huo Shaoheng, then threw him a towel before the bath was over. Gu Nianzhi felt like her back was on the brink of breaking.
Huo Shaoheng got out of the bathtub with a smile and said, “Thank you. I’ll give you a massage later.”
Gu Nianzhi shook her hands. “No thank you. I’ll be even more tired and worn out if you give me a massage. Just let me have a nap.” She walked out and changed into her sleepwear. Huo Shaoheng didn’t remain in her room. He returned to his own room after giving her a goodnight kiss.
Of course, Song Jinning had done up a room for Huo Shaoheng in her apartment as well. Huo Shaoheng was unexpected today. Gu Nianzhi felt like the Huo Shaoheng who had been keeping a distance from her in the past had returned. She lay in her bed and realized that she couldn’t sleep. Therefore, she began playing with her phone again.
She began replying to everyone who had wished her a happy new year one by one.
There were texts from Ma Qiqi, Yin Shixiong, her classmates Green Tea Fang, Little Temptress, and Lady Cao from her days when she was still studying for her bachelor’s degree. There were also colleagues from the law firm in America. The latest texts were from He Zhichu and Chen Lie.
Gu Nianzhi replied to He Zhichu’s greetings first before opening Chen Lie’s text. Other than wishing her a happy new year, Chen Lie had given her a huge red packet! Seeing that Chen Lie had sent the text just a minute ago, Gu Nianzhi called him immediately. “Brother Chen? Are you asleep?” Gu Nianzhi greeted him with a smile.
Chen Lie was not asleep. He was sitting in his bed, reading a medical book in English while chatting with Gu Nianzhi on the phone.
“Brother Chen, what do you think about my body’s recovery system? Why would it recover almost immediately after getting hurt? And there are no scars at all. You couldn’t even tell that I was injured.” Gu Nianzhi actually sounded upset.
Chen Lie was exasperated. “My dear Miss Gu, how many people in the world wish for that, you know? And you’re not content?! How is it not good that you are able to recover immediately? I am still doing research on it, though. When I’m able to have a hypothesis and able to produce medication on that, I’ll be awarded the Nobel Prize!”
“Of course it’s not good!” Gu Nianzhi flipped over and said angrily, “Do you know? Without injuries, there is no impact. I told Huo Shao that I was injured when I was in Germany, but there’s no proof at all, because there are no scars on me at all!”
“You’re angry about that?” Chen Lie truly didn’t understand how girls’ minds worked. “Your body is special. From the time you got infected with H3ab7, Mr. Huo already knew about it. Therefore, you don’t have to look too much into it.”
Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. This had been bothering her for a long time. She began probing, “Really? Brother Chen, do you know a lot about H3ab7?”
“Yes, kind of. With Oda Masao’s death, I’m the one who knows the most about it!”
Chen Lie was proud of himself for a minute. “Ask away, little girl. Your dear brother Chen will answer all your queries!”
“Really? Then can the effects of this aphrodisiac be removed only through doing that with someone?” Gu Nianzhi asked casually, her tone light, and Chen Lie did not sense her nervousness at all.
He actually fell for her trap. Going along with her lightheartedness, he answered, “Of course. Other than having intercourse with someone, there are no other ways to stop the drug from working. However, you were the only one who lived through the aftermath of the intercourse. Others did not.”
“Really?” Gu Nianzhi’s heart thumped. “So someone had intercourse with me then?”
“That is definite!” Chen Lie replied quickly and loudly.
