She was finally asking about what had happened last night

“You had a serious headache last night and it hurt soout” He Zhichu waved his hand “It’s fine to go rest for a week; don’t overwork yourself”

Gu Nianzhi still wanted to find out about the doll She rested her hand on the door handle, hesitant to leave, then made the decision to ask, “Professor He, can you tell me why you would have that kind of doll and also, why that doll… looks so , it resembled Wen Shouyi when she was a child, Gu Nianzhi had realized then Although she was now an adult, her features were still very siht away

“You really want to know?” He Zhichu was silent for a long tiht? You just want me to confirm it for you”

“If I could recallProfessor He about it But, Professor He clearly knows and yet refused to tell ed at the corners of Professor He’syou? Is that totally my fault? Who is the one who bolts like a rabbit whenever they see me? I couldn’t even find a chance to tell you, but now you’re saying I’ you?”

Gu Nianzhi flushed cri else She pushed her embarrassment aside and insisted, “I didn’t think tooabout it now?” He Zhichu was not easily fooled; each of his state at the deepest parts of Gu Nianzhi’s heart Sos she couldn’t say to even Huo Shaoheng, but looking into He Zhichu’s intense eyes, she blurted out, “I need to know right now”

“For what purpose?” He Zhichu’s voice grew colder

Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi’s face grew redder and she staether with Huo Shao! if ated, I’m afraid…” she trailed off helplessly

So this was the reason He Zhichu felt his heart being torn to pieces He looked at Gu Nianzhi steadily and finally said, “Why? Why does your background have to be investigated before you can be together with him?”

“This is a rule with his work,” Gu Nianzhi answered honestly “Since I want to be with hi about his that you’re reluctant to follow?” He Zhichu keenly pointed out “Don’t you think you’re the one sacrificing toothis kind of relationshi+p will last?”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart stung at his words It wasn’t as though she too hadn’t worried about this over and over She also felt that the screening of a e candidate was outdated and suppressive She raised her head though, and said levelly, “Tomore We both contribute to our respective happiness first while pursuing the happiness of our relationshi+p together”

Gu Nianzhi’s words was a sharp blade that carved into He Zhichu’s chest It left his heart a bloody mess, ounds he was sure would never heal

He Zhichu rolled back his shoulders and answered stiffly, “I see You rew even more flustered

“Professor He! You still haven’t toldyet”

“I have to think about it and also get someone else’s permission before I can answer you”

Gu Nianzhi froze She’d originally thought that He Zhichu knew the entire truth and that, as long as he illing, her lost memories would quickly be recovered She had never expected him to not be personally involved So had he come to find her at the request of someone else? Gu Nianzhi’s head started to hurt but she stubbornly stared at He Zhichu

“Professor He, do you or do you not know about my past?”

He Zhichu looked at her and walked two steps towards her before resu his typical sharp tone “You didn’t know the truth before and were fine all these years Now, because of a man, you can’t even wait one day? Did you ever think about how your family felt? Did you ever search for the her head She was deeply ashamed by He Zhichu’s words In the past six years, she truly hadn’t thought about her parents She wasn’t a cold-hearted person and she had always made it a point to care for others, a child who’d been bullied for being an orphan At school, for example, she would rehtest kindness to her; it didn’t make sense for her to shun her family to this extent She mumbled, “Professor He, I really made mistakes with this situation, but if it’s possible, I want to rew at these words Why as harder for ht

“Ok, I know Go back first and prepare for the teaching assistant exa on this other matter”

With He Zhichu’s promise, Gu Nianzhi left in relief When she returned to her dor about how no matter what happened, she would still be one step closer to her goal…right?

One could only hope, and Gu Nianzhi was hoping with all her heart
