Huo Shaoheng’s incredibly handsome side profile appeared so close before Gu Nianzhi’s eyes that she couldn’t help inching up to kiss it. She giggled in his ear, “That’s right. If I ignore you, then you can come to me instead.”

“You wish.” Huo Shaoheng chuckled and smoothed her hair, “I don’t the spare time to coddle you. So it’s best that you can figure it out yourself.”

“Of course I know.”” Gu Nianzhi served Huo Shaoheng some food with a giggle, “I was just saying that. If you really ignored me then I’d cry for you.”

“Yeah, I already know all about it.” Huo Shaoheng calmly took a bite, “In the beginning you followed me no matter where I went. When I had you go back to your room at bedtime, you would get up quietly and lean against my door to sleep the whole night.” At the time Gu Nianzhi was still a terrified little girl, and not only was she anxious, but she also only trusted Huo Shaoheng. She saw him as her only life line. Truthfully speaking, Huo Shaoheng wasn’t an especially patient person with children, but he made Gu Nianzhi an exception.

“I was young back then and too naive. Huo Shao was so understanding.” Gu Nianzhi replied as she poured Huo Shaoheng a glass of red wine, “Here, Huo Shao. I toast you.”

Huo Shaoheng accepted the glass and took a sip as he glanced at her casually. His handsome eyes were incredibly seductively so Gu Nianzhi’s heart almost stopped.

“Hurry up and eat, stop staring. We still have to shop after lunch.” Huo Shaoheng pointed to her bowl, “It’s going to get cold soon.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and picked up her chopsticks to start eating. The pair didn’t speak much during the meal so the private room was very quiet, as though no one was there. Huo Shaoheng personally taught Gu Nianzhi her eating manners, so they even held chopsticks the same way. They occasionally served food with communal chopsticks or poured soup for each other, painting a portrait of peacefulness. After the meal, the waiter took away the dishes and served a fruit basket. Seeing a bunch of large and purple grapes inside, Gu Nianzhi plucked one to pop into her mouth and squinted happily, “So sweet, it’s too sweet.”

Huo Shaoheng watched her eat fruit with his head propped and a cup of tea set in front of him. Gu Nianzhi ate two grapes when she thought of Huo Shaoheng and plucked a big one for him, “You want one?”

Huo Shaoheng crinkled his eyes into a smile and shook his head, “That one’s no good, I don’t like it. Find another one.”

“No good?” Gu Nianzhi looked at the grape–its skin was not broken, it was round, big, and cleanly washed. What was not good about it? She popped it into her mouth and tasted the same sweetness as before, it was too sugary but she still liked it. After eating that one, she began rummaging through the basket to find another one for Huo Shaoheng, but no matter how hard she looked Huo Shaoheng rejected every one. “What do you even want?” Gu Nianzhi grew frustrated, “I kept giving you the biggest and most purple ones, those taste the best.”

“Who said?” Huo Shaoheng leaned over and looked through the basket for a while before selecting the tiniest grape. It wasn’t as dark coloured, so it must be not ripe enough and a light pink. Rubbing the small grape between his fingers and examining it for a long time, he replied dryly, “This one looks about right, but it’ still not nice enough and the color is not good enough.”

Gu Nianzhi ws confused, “What’s so great about that one? It’s small and pink, so it can’t be ripe yet. It can’t be sweet.”

“It’s really not that good.” Huo Shaoheng spoke as he put it into his mouth and looked at Gu Nianzhi without swallowing it. He mumbled, “I’ve had even better ones.” His gaze fell on Gu Nianzhi’s voluptuous chest then swallowed slowly.

Finally understanding what Huo Shaoheng was implying, Gu Nianzhi flushed red. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so she pretended to continue eating fruits nonchalantly, but didn’t touch the grapes again.

Huo Shaoheng smirked at her and draped his arm over the back of her chair. He asked her deliberately, “Are the grapes not good? You ate a lot just now.”

“Yeah, it’s too sweet and cloying.” Gu Nianzhi replied dryly, yet her cheeks burned. She had a habit of chattering non-stop whenever she got nervous and she didn’t even know what she was saying anymore. This was something she did since first being cared for for Huo Shaoheng from six years ago until now.

Huo Shaoheng was getting a headache from listening so he leaned back on the chair to stretch his legs, “You’re awfully chatty today.”

“Because I want you to shut me up. –Using this.” Gu Nianzhi extended her forefinger to tap on Huo Shaoheng’s lips. So he wanted to seduce her? Who’s afraid of who… Gu Nianzhi thought smugly because she assumed Huo Shaoheng was under her control. Everytime she teased him, he would return the favor–it always made her body week and completely helpless.

Huo Shaoheng raised his brow, “You wish…” He looked at the fruit basket and found a large, long and thick banana. Peeling the skin slowly, he offered it to her lips, “I’ll shut you up with this.”

Gu Nianzhi quite liked bananas so she cheerfully took a bite. Huo Shaoheng looked down at the bitten banana and seemed to think of something. He instantly took it away to throw into the garbage can, then got up, “Are you done eating? Let’s go now.”

Gu Nianzhi sadly looked at the barely eaten banana in the garbage with a shake of her head, “What a waste, what a terrible waste. Huo Shao, why did you throw the banana away?”

“You think it was a waste?” Huo Shaoheng saw this little girl didn’t even know what she was getting into and even wanted to start discussing banana eating with him. Bending down, he whispered in her ear, “You like eating bananas?”

“Yeah, I love them.” Gu Nianzhi nodded quickly, “Just look at that banana–it’s big, yellow, thick and long. It’s very sweet too, but you threw it away. What a waste of good food.”

“Really?” Huo Shaoheng laughed but saw that she had no clue what he meant and didn’t want to corrupt her just yet. He dropped the subject and pushed the door open to leave.

The waiter quickly bowed to him, “Have a good day, sir.” Huo Shaoheng gave him a bill as tip and thanked him politely. Gu Nianzhi followed behind and also thanked the waiter at the door for his hard work.

They left Jiuloufengyue in Scion Plaza then headed to the brand name stores on the eighth floor. Gu Nianzhi was accustomed to wearing imported, discernable brands of lingerie. The size no longer fit so she needed one bigger. Standing in front of the racks, Gu Nianzhi frowned in concentration and finally picked two styles. She took two sizes for each one and wanted to go try in the fitting room.

Huo Shaoheng stopped her, “Buy it all, don’t try them here.”

“But these are two different sizes and only one might fit.” Gu Nianzhi hesitated in front of the displays, “Why can’t I buy after trying them on?”

“I said don’t try them on here.” Huo Shaoheng was a little unhappy, “Are you disobeying?”

“…Fine. You’re handsome so I’ll do whatever you want.” Gu Nianzhi muttered and took eight bras to pay.

Huo Shaoheng passed her a card, “Use this.”

“How can I use your card to buy lingerie?” Gu Nianzhi felt somewhat guilty saying that because Huo Shaoheng was still the one who paid off her card anyway… What’s the point of refusing to accept it?

Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly, “It’s a man’s honor to buy lingerie for his girlfriend.” THe words were so sweet that not only did Gu Nianzhi’s ears melt, but her heart did too. She no longer objected and took Huo Shaoheng’s card in a daze to pay. It was already 3pm after they finished shopping. Just when they go in the car, Huo Shaoheng received a call from the base. He listened grimly for a while and nodded, “I’ll be back soon, you can continue for now.”

Gu Nianzi knew Huo Shaoheng had business again and said thoughtfully, “How about I hail a cab since you’re busy? You can leave first.”

Huo Shaoheng pulled her into the car, “We still have time to drive you back, let’s go first.” They didn’t speak to each other in the car and one of Huo Shaoheng’s orderlies who was driving didn’t even dare to breathe too loud. Normally Fan Jian was Huo Shaoheng’s exclusive driver, but he didn’t come today since Huo Shaoheng made the sudden decision to see Gu Nianzhi. Huo Shaoheng finally spoke when they got out of the car at the arrival to her dorm building, “I ordered a car for you and I also emailed you the model and style. See what color you like.”

Another surprise. Gu Nianzhi grabbed Huo Shaoheng’s hand and looked up with a smile, “Is this a gift for the new semester? I’m so happy today!”

“Yeah.” Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, “The car is custom made and once you choose the color it’ll ship from abroad in two days.”

“Huo Shao, you’re too good to me. I have no way of repaying you other than using myself.Would you accept it?” Gu Nianzhi squeezed his hand and cocked her head with a smile.

Huo Shaoheng was about to speak when the room to the dorm behind Gu Nianzhi opened loudly. Her roommate, Miao Yunxiao saw them standing at the entrance and hesitated before asking, “Are you guys coming in?”

Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng. He patted her shoulder, “Go inside now, I’ll call you tonight.”
