“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Huo Shaoheng remembered it was already past 11:30 pm when he’d come in “You still need to recover,” he said “Even if Chen Lie says you’re fine, who knows?” Huo Shaoheng approached Gu Nianzhi, took her hand, and walked her back to the bed

Gu Nianzhi looked up at Hup Shaoheng, her eyes intent yet calm They shi+mmered in the dark like the finest obsidian and, unlike the innocence they showed during the dayti couldn’t help holding her waist and bending to kiss her eyelids Gu Nianzhi’s supple body yielded to his powerful arhtly His kisses traveled down from her eyes past her delicate nose and finally to her full red lips He savored her lips like they were his favorite candy Gu Nianzhi gently nestled into Huo Shaoheng’s eainst his warue yet reachable, it was finally revealing its full expanse to her Still, she didn’t know everything it held nor what she faced ahead She was certain about one thing— whether the future was good or bad, her life would never be the sas and ignore the storiven her too much security, and she’d never had to wonder what it would be like to have parents But now she knew she had to force herself to recover everything she’d lost: her memories, her family, and her complete personal history If she couldn’t recover the She couldn’t and didn’t want to lose hi continued to kiss her as he placed her onto the bed and drew the blankets over her Leaning against the bed, he adjusted the nightlight, and Gu Nianzhi’s tiny face appeared like crea caressed her face and asked, “Nianzhi, how does He Zhichu treat you nor and Little Ze said he treats you differently than the others What do you think?”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart tre had given her a heads up otherwise she wouldn’t have kno to answer In the few hours since Yin shi+xiong had left, Gu Nianzhi had already s were too difficult to explain and shouldn’t be said Plus, she orried Huo Shaoheng would get upset

“Professor He is quite nice toand Brother Ze should’ve already told you what happened back in the States,” Gu Nianzhi said She blinked, and her eyes glittered like stars in the di looked at her and was about to touch her when he stopped halfway and drew his hand back He straightened her covers

“Yeah, Professor He does treat me differently,” Gu Nianzhi said “Sometimes it’s like he really cares about me and other times he’s weird to ered hi another word I had a foot injury back then, but he didn’t care” Gu Nianzhi’s heart treain Yes, she had also injured her foot the last tih it wasn’t as serious as this tiht away and didn’t even call a car to drive her back She was angry and in pain and she cursed He Zhichu countless times in her head On the way back, she ran into Mei Xiaho had flown all the way to see her That was the tihtly moved by his attempt to woo her Another time, she’d told He Zhichu there was a possibility she’d beco like she wasa joke Why was he so sure she would be fine? Even Chen Lie couldn’t guarantee that Huo Shaoheng had been so anxious he’d nearly tied her down to the seat so she couldn’t move at all

But it would be a lie to say that He Zhichu didn’t care about her at all He was furious whenever so American campus policeman who had almost placed his hand on her face and how He Zhichu had coun Gu Nianzhi had no doubt from his expression that he was capable of murder If that policeman dared to touch her, He Zhichu would certainly have killed him At the tirateful he’d saved her If it wasn’t for the dras that followed and the way she discovered his peculiar feelings towards her, she wouldn’t have distanced herself froether, she had to wonder if He Zhichu was merely romantically interested in her Would noro to such extremes for her? Could he care for her this ht his concern even rivaled Huo Shaoheng’s

“He didn’t really care last ti pondered “Can you think of any possible reasons?”

Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a longHe Zhichu’s had given her regarding “her previous ligament injury” She wanted to confir to Huo Shaoheng Even the ss beca Gu Nianzhi turned over and laid on her side so she could lean against Huo Shaoheng’s leg She rested her head on his strong calf and muttered, “Hoould I know? He’s always beenwrong His eyes turned lethal…”

Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time then he patted Gu Nianzhi’s head, “If that’s the case, how about you stop being his postgrad student and find a different professor?”

“No!” Gu Nianzhi instinctively objected She looked up to see Huo Shaoheng’s silent gaze, and her heart dropped She had fallen into Huo Shaoheng’s trap

Huo Shaoheng gracefully took back his hand, and his expression grew stern He replied cal you haven’t told me?”
