Chapter 1527: Who Is He
Gu Nianzhi’s big eyes, like stars, dimmed little by little.
Trying to say something, she stared at the man sitting next to her in a daze, but her throat interfered very much. Her plump lips trembled and she couldn’t say a word.
They clearly had the same exact facial features, but they seemed completely different.
The Huo Shaoheng in Gu Nianzhi’s memory was a thick and colorful oil painting. It was full of majestic sublimity. Although he was also so breathtakingly beautiful, he still had human warmth and generosity.
But the person in front of her was more like an exquisite beauty drawn with meticulous brushwork. Every thing about him was perfect and impeccable, but he was as cold as frost, and different from how he was her memory.
In her memory, Huo Shaoheng’s voice, shaking people’s hearts like a subwoofer, was low and magnetic.
The man in front of her had a clear and cold voice that was a typical baritone.
Gu Nianzhi cared about both looks and voices. When the person spoke, Gu Nianzhi knew she had recognized the wrong person.
That voice was completely different.
The initial throbbing gradually dissipated, and more and more differences reminded her that this is not the person in her heart.
Gu Nianzhi gritted her teeth and retracted her gaze. She looked at the card in the croupier’s hand in front of him.
She didn’t have the energy to count the cards anymore. She lost three in a row, and tens of thousands of dollars was gone in the blink of an eye.
Her face was full of pain and unbearable grief. In the eyes of the people monitoring the casino, she appeared sad from losing money, so they couldn’t help but smile.
Fortunately, this person wasn’t strong enough to make them look at her with awe, or get added to the “blacklist”.
And the man next to her, who looked exactly like Huo Shaoheng won a big win, more than she had just won at another gaming table.
“My dear, you are so amazing!” The glamorous woman sitting on his lap embraced him and with big red lip prints covering his face one after another, she kissed him again and again.
He only looked at her with a smile, took out the tissue, wiped his face gracefully. He then stretched the tissue with red lips and lip marks in front of the woman. His voice was pampering and clear, “…Naughty rascal.”
Both of them spoke Russian, and Gu Nianzhi used to learn Russian by herself when she was in the other world, so she could understand ordinary daily conversations. At this time, the blow to her was even worse.
She had a dull expression and her body was stiff. She finally couldn’t listen anymore.
She stood up abruptly, turned around, and rushed out of this specially-concealed gaming table. She did not hesitate to push open the French window in front of her, came to the outside of the deck, and gasped for breath.
When she was inside just now, she felt really suffocated, and she almost forgot to breathe.
She exhausted almost all of her self-control to not lose it in front of that person.
The deck outside was luxurious and comfortable, and a few post-modern sofas produced by the designer were placed in a circle along the railing.
Gu Nianzhi circ.u.mvented the sofa and rushed to the railing. She was holding the railing tightly with both hands and her body was shaking in the night wind.
Not far from her, a tall man with a cigarette in his hand was indifferently watching the moonlight on the sea, and gently exhaling a puff of white smoke as he stood on the deck.
The moonlight was hazy, and his handsome face was more beautiful than the moonlight.
Gu Nianzhi burst out and couldn’t stop her tears.
She was extremely emotional, and she didn’t notice that there was someone standing there at all.
As she stood there with tears in her eyes, the man walked up to her and gently hugged her into his arms.
Gu Nianzhi hallucinated for a mmoment. She snuggled up and mumbled, “Major General Huo, is that you?”
The man froze for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair. His clear and indifferent voice rang in her ear, “No, I’m He Zhichu. Don’t recognize the wrong person.”
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. A stream of tears rolled down again, and wet the front of He Zhichu’s chest.
He Zhichu held a cigarette in one hand, and Gu Nianzhi in the other. With no expression on his face, he took another sip.
Uncontrollably indulging herself, Gu Nianzhi greedily smelled the familiar smell of cigarettes in his arms.
Soothing her nervousness silently, He Zhichu patted her back lightly.
After a while, Gu Nianzhi whispered, “Why are you here?”
He Zhichu looked down at her deeply and said: “…I was worried that you couldn’t accept it, so I come to see you.”
Gu Nianzhi hugged his thin waist, rubbed her face against it, and said, “You knew? Did you see him?”
He Zhichu did not speak, and touched her head.
“When I saw him at first sight, I thought I was going crazy from thinking about him so much that I was having hallucinations.” Gu Nianzhi whimpered, “But when he opened his mouth, I knew it wasn’t…it wasn’t him…”
Because the Major General Huo she loved won’t look at her with such cold and indifferent eyes.
Because the Major General Huo she loved doesn’t look at other woman with such doting eyes.
Because the Major General Huo she loved will not flirt with another woman in front of her….
Gu Nianyi couldn’t bear the situation just now.
Even though she knew that he wasn’t him, watching him talk to other women in front of her with that face made Gu Nianzhi want to die.
She leaned in He Zhichu’s arms and whispered, “Before, I looked down on people who had to live or die for the sake of romance, but just now, when I rushed out for a moment, I really wanted to jump down from this ten-story building.”
“If you die, I’ll be dead with no headache, no heartbreak, no need to face that kind of embarra.s.sment…”
“I’m a hypocrite, a coward who says things that are easier said than done.” Gu Nianzhi constantly denounced her own cowardice and incompetence.
He Zhichu stayed silent for a long time, then said, “You can’t be blamed either. Everyone will overestimate their ability to bear and underestimate their ability to endure.”
So only you know if the shoes fit.
After Gu Nianzhi cried, and her gloominess was released to a certain extent, her mood gradually calmed down.
Buried in He Zhichu’s arms, she muttered, “Who is that person? Do you know him?”
Since He Zhichu was able to rush over, he must have some understanding of that person’s ident.i.ty.
He Zhichu first thought about it, but didn’t hide it from her, because he was worried that concealment would cause her more trouble.
He lowered his head and said in a very low voice in her ear, “…He is the Soviet Union’s KGB’s Ace of the Far East, Peter. His Chinese name is also Huo Shaoheng.”
Gu Nianzhi trembled uncontrollably when she heard the name.
She remembered that she had asked Xie Qingying about Xie Ziyan’s whereabouts. Xie Qingying said that Xie Ziyan went to the Soviet Union in her early years.
Then she asked her why not ask the Soviet Union’s KGB to help find her….
A casual remark comes true unexpectedly afterwards.
It is like no matter how the gear of fate turns, it can bring the same people to the same situation.
Gu Nianzhi’s face became paler and paler. She didn’t know how to face all this.
He first held her tighter, and continued to whisper in her ear, “What’s the matter? You can’t stand it when you hear his name?”
Gu Nianzhi gave him a hard jab, pushed him away, turned her head back and stroked her hair, then said uncomfortably, “No, I just saw him so I was a little surprised.”
He Zhichu narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and looked at her for a while, as if to gauge how true her words were. “Really? Just surprised? Don’t want to say h.e.l.lo?”
Gu Nianzhi gave him a blank look. Replaying the scene from just now in her mind, she suddenly recovered, and said in surprise, “That woman is Xiao Ye?!”
She quickly remembered that Xiao Ye had also worked as an agent in the Russian KGB before, but at that time, she used a disguised appearance, so she appeared very ordinary.
And Xiao Ye’s real appearance was very beautiful, just like that woman with long curly hair.
She had been with Xiao Ye day and night for more than a month and was very familiar with her.
But when she first saw a man who looked exactly like Huo Shaoheng, she was shocked, extremely emotional, and her attention was completely attracted by him. She didn’t realize who the beautiful woman sitting on his lap was.
He Zhichu looked back, nodded, took a cigarette, and said, “Yes, she is Xiao Ye and Linda. She is the bombsh.e.l.l of the Soviet KGB in the Far East.”
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. “Huo Shaoheng became Peter and Xiao Ye became Linda?”
She remembered Peter of the other dimension. He was a man who always had his eyelids drooped, as if he was barely awake all the time, and he looked very ordinary.
And in the other dimension, Xiao Ye used to be undercover in the KGB. Her Russian name was Lina, not Linda.
“Hmm.” He Zhichu nodded and gently dusted the soot into the sea. “Theoretically, because we don’t have Huo Shaoheng here, he became Peter of the KGB’s Far East Bureau.”
“…He is the counterpart of the other dimension’s Major General Huo, right?” Not letting go of his expression, Gu Nianzhi stared at He Zhichu closely.
