“What? Professor He? Why would he want to video call?” Gu Nianzhi hadn’t expected that the words “Your Professor He” would have co She was stunned for a moment, and then slowly, a sht black eyes perfectly, exuding an inexplicably adorable aura

Huo Shaoheng looked away “He got wind of the fact that you were injured He wanted to visit, but I declined So he requested for a video call”

Huo Shaoheng explained the situation quickly, before adding, “Enjoy your conversation,” and leaving the room

Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone and then looked towards the direction in which Huo Shaoheng had disappeared She was full of questions but could not ask hi a robe, He Zhichu stood at the French s of his condo at the view in front of the s and his watch, holding on to the phone on the other hand

Just when he was about to go straight to the hospital, the phone rang It was the custotone for Gu Nianzhi

He answered the call i He Zhichu’s voice, Gu Nianzhi shot Chen Lie a look, that told hilared at her before leaving the ward

Only then did Gu Nianzhi begin talking to He Zhichu “How did you know that I was injured, Professor He?”

Upon hearing Gu Nianzhi’s voice still strong and sweet, he knew that her injury wasn’t as serious as he’d thought A sense of relief washed over him

“The video was spread like wildfire Your Huo Shao is now a famous man,” He Zhichu said coldly as he placed a hand in his pocket and watched his reflection in the

Gu Nianzhi was stunned

“Video? There was a video?”

“You don’t know?” He Zhichu’s brows furrowed “It has already been taken down Someone recorded it secretly from the supermarket and uploaded it onto his Weibo account” He paused, and then continued reluctantly, “There weren’t any of your front profile though Your Huo Shao only had his back recorded as well The hter pair were the ones who becaht”

All of a sudden Gu Nianzhi reri was really ridiculous! I have no idea who on earth gave her the confidence to even do those kind of things in public”

He Zhichu was uncoree with her just in case she got ain

“She has some backup, doesn’t she? If not, I really can’t think of any reasons why she could be so daring,” He Zhichu said indifferently, and then turned on Facetime on his phone to video call Gu Nianzhi

He Zhichu immediately saw her extre a hint of lethargy At the tender age of 18, she had no signs of earthly haggardness

He Zhichu felt a pang in his heart upon seeing Gu Nianzhi pretending to be alright even after being injured

This act of always being careful is the result of being under the wings of others for a long tiht When she was under apprenticeshi+p with o distresses like this?

Perhaps it was also because she was young, and didn’t kno to behave according to how others thought of her It wasn’t due to her not knowing how to; it was because there wasn’t a need to

He Zhichu looked silently at her He caressed her face on the screen, and asked hoarsely, “Where are all your injuries? I didn’t see anything on the video Little Ze said that you’ve sprained your ankleWas that it?”

He Zhichu’s question reminded Gu Nianzhi of her injuries She touched the side of her waist down to her back, and frowned slightly

“There was a dislocation in my ankle, but it has been fixed already But there’s still a sharp pain infor an X-Ray later”

He Zhichu nodded “Go now then Don’t delay things like that”

“I’ll go after our call,” Gu Nianzhi nodded “Thanks for your concern, Professor He”

He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi again “You better get your ankle checked a second tiament is torn Get it treated immediately if it is, or else it won’t fully recover, ” he said after choosing his words carefully

Gu Nianzhi didn’t feel the need to really take his advice to heart, but she was still thankful for his concern “Yes Professor He Thank you”

These ‘thank you’s’ after every sentence were reallyhim throw up The formality was too much, and it emphasized the distance between them, not just physically, he felt, but emotionally as well He wanted to be someone closer to her heart

The corners of hisdown, he finally said, “Call me after you’re done with the X-Ray and let me know that you’re fine”
