Huo Shaoheng retracted his hand and hugged her tightly from behind. Then, he whispered in a deep voice, “Let’s go to lunch first.”
Gu Nianzhi wanted to nod, but she realized that even her neck felt stiff. Huo Shaoheng seemed to have cast a spell on her, rendering her immobile. Being unable to move, she only managed an, “Um,” softly, the ending of that word having a raised tone along with s.h.i.+vers. It sounded as though it were a chord played from an instrument with echoes looping the chord, embracing the person listening to it.
Huo Shaoheng felt himself tensing up listening to her voice. Finally, he became so tense that any small touch would make him explode. Gu Nianzhi’s, “Um,” was all it took. He had initially pushed her away. However, since she hadn’t left his embrace, he pulled her back once again. He supported the back of her head with one hand and kissed her urgently while unb.u.t.toning her clothes quickly with the other. The b.u.t.tons he had b.u.t.toned up just a moment ago were all unb.u.t.toned again.
Gu Nianzhi’s lips were in his mouth. She felt his hands moving around and mumbled, “You’re so annoying. Why are you the one who decides if I should be b.u.t.toned up or unb.u.t.toned…”
Huo Shaoheng ignored her sweet protests and unb.u.t.toned all her clothes in the blink of an eye. Gu Nianzhi’s toes curled. She couldn’t stand properly and was almost hanging onto Huo Shaoheng.
“…Dormitory… In the dormitory… Be gentle…” Gu Nianzhi said intermittently, using whatever rationality she had left with to remind Huo Shaoheng. No one knew how good the soundproofing in the dormitory was. Even though Ma Qiqi wasn’t in the dormitory, who knew if there was anyone next door? She didn’t want her schoolmates to eavesdrop on her…
Huo Shaoheng’s hands paused. His rationality told him that he should stop. He usually had a high level of self control and could control himself in any situation. Just when he was about to let her go, Gu Nianzhi said, “Professor He is still waiting for us for lunch. We shouldn’t let him wait for too long…”
Huo Shaoheng’s hands hugged Gu Nianzhi tightly again and moved her towards the bed. “What are you doing? Don’t…” Gu Nianzhi had no time to talk anymore. Huo Shaoheng had already sealed her mouth with his lips and stopped her from saying anything. He his tongue probed her mouth and found her little tongue. He chased and twirled his tongue around hers, not giving her a chance to talk.
Gu Nianzhi was lightheaded from the kiss, and when she realized she was stark naked, she was already on her rose carpet. Lying on the carpet, even the flesh of a freshly peeled lychee wasn’t as sweet as hers… Huo Shaoheng’s gaze darkened, looking at her fixedly. He looked her over from top to toe, and she got gooseb.u.mps. Gu Nianzhi felt like a lamb awaiting slaughter. However, a lamb wouldn’t turn around and smile sweetly at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng’s gaze darkened further, and he hugged her tightly from behind. Kissing her neck to her back, he said with his deep voice, “Becoming clever, huh? Spill; who did you learn this from?”
“Didn’t learn from anyone…” Gu Nianzhi craned her neck and panted lightly, her voice breaking up.
“Didn’t learn from anyone? Who would believe you now…” Huo Shaoheng’s panting became heavy.
Gu Nianzhi was so embarra.s.sed that even her toes were blus.h.i.+ng. A tinge of pink flushed throughout her body, making her look even more attractive to Huo Shaoheng. In the past, he hadn’t thought about what the woman of his dreams would look like, even after he became close with Gu Nianzhi. However, right at that moment, he knew what the woman of his dreams looked like. Every single thing he liked was on Gu Nianzhi. Her appearance was a miracle to the Army, as well as to him.
Huo Shaoheng felt a warm, fuzzy feeling, and that feeling spread to the rest of his body, making him feel dizzy with bliss. All of a sudden, Gu Nianzhi came to her senses, “…Condom… You’re not wearing one…”
Hugging her shoulders, he kissed her strongly before asking, “You have them here?”
“No…” Gu Nianzhi was stunned. “They’re all at the apartment…”
“Then forget about it.”
“How can we… What if I get pregnant…” Gu Nianzhi stuttered.
Huo Shaoheng hadn’t expected this. Gasping, he whispered into her ear, “It’s okay… Just give birth to the baby if you get pregnant…”
“No…” Gu Nianzhi shook her head. “I’m only 18. I don’t want… a child…” She was still a child herself.
“Um…” Huo Shaoheng acknowledged. “Got it…”
…
Eventually, Gu Nianzhi only felt a sudden wetness on her back and understood what had happened. She definitely wouldn’t get pregnant that way, but… She turned to look at Huo Shaoheng exasperatedly and pouted, looking like she was full of grudges.
“Don’t move. I’ll get a towel.” She had no choice but to remain still on the bed until Huo Shaoheng brought the towel over and wrapped her up, carrying her to the bathroom. They had a shower together before the stickiness was all gone. Coming out from the shower, Gu Nianzhi glared at Huo Shaoheng. “I’m getting some condoms to keep in the dormitory.”
“No need.” Huo Shaoheng rejected her naturally. “Today’s an accident. There won’t be a next time.” What was putting condoms in the school dormitory about? Huo Shaoheng would never agree to that.
“Accident?” Gu Nianzhi turned to look at Huo Shaoheng as she was blow-drying her hair. “I don’t believe you.” Gu Nianzhi felt that Huo Shaoheng was someone who would never lose control, be it of himself or the things he was handling. Every single thing he did was planned.
“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me.” Huo Shaoheng put on his belt in front of the mirror and tucked the ends of his white s.h.i.+rt into the belt. His s.h.i.+rt was slightly wrinkled, but it wasn’t obvious. However, his hair was still slightly wet.
Gu Nianzhi blowdried her hair until it was semi-dry before turning to Huo Shaoheng. “Huo Shao, let me blow-dry your hair for you?”
Huo Shaoheng wiped himself with the towel again and shook his head. “It’s okay. It’ll be dry in no time.” Gu Nianzhi thought that it was true his hair would dry quickly since the weather had warmed up, so she did not insist. Her phone rang while she was drying her hair.
Huo Shaoheng took a look at her phone on the study table. Realizing that it was He Zhichu, he answered the call. “Professor He?”
Hearing Huo Shaoheng’s voice, He Zhichu’s expression was not friendly at all. He asked coldly, “Where’s Nianzhi? She won’t be coming, either?” When Ma Qiqi sent a text saying that she couldn’t make it anymore, he had replied, “Okay. I’ll treat you again next time.” However, when he arrived at the Hubei restaurant, he waited for half an hour but still did not see Gu Nianzhi.
“Nianzhi just had her shower. She’s drying her hair. We’ll be there once she’s done,” Huo Shaoheng said casually as he folded his arms and leaned against the windows, opening the curtains.
He Zhichu felt his heart break a little. Closing his eyes, he controlled his anger and replied coldly, “Quick. I’ve already placed orders.” Then he hung up and threw his phone onto the table in the VIP room.
…
Gu Nianzhi was finally done drying her hair and changing her clothes. She went to Huo Shaoheng and asked, “Who called?”
“Professor He. He’s already at the restaurant. Let’s go,” Huo Shaoheng said naturally. Grabbing her Hermes bucket bag, Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng out of the dormitory. They came down from the dormitory building and entered Huo Shaoheng’s car, arriving at the Hubei restaurant shortly after.
They entered the room after each other. There was a beautiful chandelier. Gu Nianzhi’s gaze looked slightly fl.u.s.tered under its light, and her body looked soft. She clearly looked like she had just “showered.” Seeing red, He Zhichu punched Huo Shaoheng. “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Huo Shaoheng was abnormally quick. He dodged He Zhichu and managed to avoid the punch to his face. However, He Zhichu was quick as well. The moment Huo Shaoheng dodged his punch, his left punch followed and hit Huo Shaoheng squarely in the back. Huo Shaoheng did not expect a cla.s.sy-looking guy like He Zhichu to have such strength. His punches were clearly professional, as well. He had studied this before.
Bam! The sound was so loud that it caused echoes in the VIP room. Gu Nianzhi was shocked. She was still in shock when a couple of punches were exchanged between the two men. “Stop! Stop! Don’t fight anymore!” Gu Nianzhi snapped back to her senses and stood in front of Huo Shaoheng.
He Zhichu laughed coldly at Huo Shaoheng. “Letting a woman stand in front of you as a s.h.i.+eld? Are you still a man?”
Huo Shaoheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly, “It’s my fault. You’re right for hitting me.” He was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He Zhichu was right, and he was right to hit him, too. That was why Huo Shaoheng did not retaliate. He was merely dodging the punches meant for his face.
“She’s only 18! How could you… How could you…!?” He Zhichu had thought that with Huo Shaoheng’s ident.i.ty and character, he wouldn’t move so quickly in a relations.h.i.+p, even after confirming their feelings for each other. However, looking at the two of them, and Huo Shaoheng’s hair that was intentionally left damp, would there still be things that he didn’t understand?!
Gu Nianzhi blushed. She was embarra.s.sed by He Zhichu’s words, but she didn’t understand how he could tell… I showered! I even dried my hair and ensured that I didn’t smell like that before leaving the dormitory.
Taking a step in front, Huo Shaoheng s.h.i.+elded Gu Nianzhi and told He Zhichu, “It’s my fault. I’ll be responsible.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her head to look at Huo Shaoheng from behind his back. She wished she could look at his heart and understand what he was thinking… Did he only want to be responsible for her? Why should she allow him to be responsible for her? She was a willing party; he had not forced her…
Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable. She lowered her head and pulled at the corner of Huo Shaoheng’s clothes. “Huo Shao, Professor He, let’s eat? I’m starving…”
