960 It Was You!

Gu Nianzhi stared at Huo Shaoheng, her lacquer-like, dark eyes appeared so black they were bottomless.

Pursing his lips, Huo Shaoheng looked at her thoughtfully for some time. Shifting his left hand upwards, he pressed her inclined head and watching eyes against his chest in order to avoid the discussion. “That’s all in the past now.”

“I knew that you were aware of it.” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help laughing, extremely pleased by her own inferences. Leaning against his chest, she heard his heart seemingly beat harder for just one moment. However, it quickly recovered.

Hugging Huo Shaoheng’s neck, she laid there in silence for some time before asking quietly, “Do you still mind?”

Huo Shaoheng was speechless. He didn’t answer, patting Gu Nianzhi’s hair randomly with his left hand.

“So you actually still mind?” Gu Nianzhi seemed to latch onto the issue without wanting to let go.

Closing his eyes, Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, “Isn’t that all in the past now? As long as you don’t think about that, it won’t be able to bother you.”

“How could I not think about ti?” Gu Nianzhi frowned. “That was my virginity! My very first time! I wanted to give it to you…” Gu Nianzhi’s voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally became inaudible.

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t help curling the corners of his lips. He shifted Gu Nianzhi higher up in his embrace, hugging her as he began to kiss her carefully. “Just pretend that you gave it to me.” Huo Shaoheng’s kisses made Gu Nianzhi pant heavily before he finally released her. Pressing his face against hers, he rested his chin on her shoulder. “You weren’t conscious during your first time anyway, so it didn’t count.”

It was Gu Nianzhi’s turn to be speechless. Blinking, her feeling of unease was growing even stronger. Moreover, she discovered a long time ago that Huo Shaoheng had a habit of distracting her whenever he didn’t want to tell the truth. For example, he would kiss her senseless or make love to her until she couldn’t get out of bed.

“How could it not count? I can’t lie to myself.” Gu Nianzhi had an idea, so she fiercely struggled out of Huo Shaoheng’s arms and braced herself on his powerful shoulders. She said solemnly, “If I gave my first time to someone else, then that’s what happened. You can’t lie to yourself. I understand if you can’t accept this…”

Huo Shaoheng felt some awkwardness when he heard this. He draped a hand over Gu Nianzhi’s waist and wanted to pull her closer so he could kiss her until she became speechless. However, Gu Nianzhi used even more strength to fight against him this time.

Huo Shaoheng didn’t want to hurt Gu Nianzhi, so he could only release her and reply dryly, “The sun will be up in a few hours. Let’s sleep now.”

“I have to go shower. I can’t sleep like this.” Gu Nianzhi pushed Huo Shaoheng away and got off the bed to rinse off in the bathroom.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Gu Nianzhi touched her face and something in her mind seemed to constantly try to take form, surfacing from time to time. She recalled the entire incident from beginning to end once again, but unfortunately, she had lost too much of her memory. The last conscious memory she had was of Chen Lie’s anxious face as he squeezed his phone…

Phone?!

Gu Nianzhi blinked. Chen Lie was on the phone with someone at the time. Before she lost consciousness, Chen Lie was calling someone! She could still recall Chen Lie’s expression. Aside from anxiety, he also appeared harried, respectful, and carried a tinge of awe. He definitely wouldn’t have that kind of expression when calling someone below his rank. He must’ve been calling someone of a higher rank. At the time, what person of a higher rank would Chen Lie have called?

The answer already leaped out to her…

So when Chen Lie needed to find a man to have sex with Gu Nianzhi, he had asked Huo Shaoheng for permission?

Gu Nianzhi walked out of the bathroom filled with questions and returned to the bed.

Huo Shaoheng had already closed his eyes and appeared to be asleep. Reaching out, Gu Nianzhi used her hand to trace the bridge of his handsome nose until she outlined his lips below.

Huo Shaoheng grabbed her hand. “Stop playing. Let’s go to sleep.”

Gu Nianzhi laid on the pillow beside him. Her dark and shiny eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. “Huo Shao, you know who slept with me. Is that right?”

Huo Shaoheng’s long eyelashes fluttered instantly. Luckily, Gu Nianzhi had her head down, so she didn’t notice such a minor eye movement.

Huo Shaoheng didn’t make a sound. He flipped on his slide to wrap Gu Nianzhi in his embrace and got into a position that signified that he was very tired and wanted to go to sleep.

However, Gu Nianzhi didn’t let him off so easily. “Huo Shao, you were the one to find a man for me. Is that right?”

If Chen Lie had called Huo Shaoheng, then the candidate must’ve been chosen by Huo Shaoheng. Gu Nianzhi didn’t think that someone with such strong desire for control like Huo Shaoheng would allow Chen Lie, who was the greatest doctor of the nation yet was also unreliable, to help her find someone.

When she learned from Chen Lie that she actually had sex with a man as the antidote, she assumed that Chen Lie was the one to find a man for her. Because she still thought that Huo Shaoheng was working abroad at the time and Chen Lie couldn’t reach him immediately, she assumed that Chen Lie was the one who found a man for her. But in the memories she recalled just now, she remembered that Chen Lie had been calling someone at the last moment before she lost consciousness.

“Chen Lie called you. So you knew about it, right?” This must have been the only reason that could explain why Huo Shaoheng felt especially conflicted afterwards, or perhaps there were other reasons? Gu Nianzhi’s habit of deeply analyzing situations as a lawyer began to emerge.

Huo Shaoheng’s breathing was even, like he had already plunged into a deep sleep. Gu Nianzhi used her hand to check his breathing but couldn’t figure out if he was actually asleep or not. Flipping over, she laid flat beside him and said quietly, “Who had sex with me? Huo Shao, can you tell me?”

She didn’t actually expect Huo Shaoheng to reply, since he was already “asleep,” but Huo Shaoheng suddenly opened his eyes, his voice heavy with displeasure. “Why do you need to know that?”

Gu Nianzhi lowered her gaze. “I want to know who he is, his name, where he works, what his identity is. He must be a soldier, too? He doesn’t have a girlfriend or wife, is that right?”

Regardless if it had been Chen Lie or Huo Shaoheng who found a man for her, they certainly wouldn’t have found a man with a girlfriend or even a wife to take her virginity, right?

“Yeah, he doesn’t. So what?” Huo Shaoheng’s tone was calm and even. If Gu Nianzhi had neglected to look at his tightly balled right hand, she wouldn’t have noticed anything was amiss. Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi was so worried about hurting Huo Shaoheng’s arm since it was injured, she paid close attention to the condition of his right arm. Huo Shaoheng’s subtle movement didn’t escape Gu Nianzhi’s eyes.

“So I have to thank him.” Gu Nianzhi sat up from the bed. “How about you tell me his name and where he is. I have to go thank him. He saved my life, after all.”

“He doesn’t need you to thank him. Don’t think about nonsense. Hurry up and go to sleep.” Huo Shaoheng flipped over again, turning his back toward Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi laid down and pressed her face against Huo Shaoheng’s broad back. Curling her lips, she said, “How do you know he doesn’t need me to thank him? This kind of thing is considered unforgettable for men, right?”

“He doesn’t remember it. You don’t need to worry about it.” Huo Shaoheng interrupted her musings. “Chen Lie has a drug that allowed him to lose consciousness.”

“There is such a drug?” Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow high. “But I seemed to have remembered something. What should I do? Do I need to go see Chen Lie to ask for some drugs, too?”

Huo Shaoheng’s chest tightened, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably hard. “You remember it? How much do you remember?” Huo Shaoheng sat up from the bed, turning on the bedside light and digging through the bedside table. He finally recalled that this wasn’t his bedroom at his official residence, so there were no cigarettes here.

Gu Nianzhi’s heart also beat rapidly, but she forced herself to remain calm and smiled. “Then how much does Huo Shao want me to remember?”

Huo Shaoheng turned around to look at her, then quickly averted his gaze. “This has nothing to do with me. How much you remember depends on your own ability.” Thinking about Gu Nianzhi’s special body constitution, he felt a shred of uncertainty. What if she remembered by chance. What should he do?

“Oh, I really shouldn’t remember it. Why does my memory have to be so good?” Gu Nianzhi used a very provocative and coy tone. “His skills were really quite good… I heard that the first time always hurts a lot, but he… makes me reminisce endlessly about it.”

Huo Shaoheng violently dragged her over to him and pressed her under his body. He kissed her fiercely. “I think you don’t want to sleep at all.”

“Huo Shao, don’t be like that. I only want to express my gratitude. I don’t even know what he looks like. The person that Huo Shao found for me shouldn’t be bad, right? You know that I am obsessed with faces and voices.” Gu Nianzhi kept speaking to provoke Huo Shaoheng. “No matter who that person is, I am thankful to him. I’ll be thankful for the rest of my life.”

Huo Shaoheng tried hard to secure her with one hand and panted quietly, “You’ll be thanking him as long as you are obedient for the rest of your life…”

Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood it all. As she was laying down, one leg suddenly kicked upwards, and she took the opportunity to roll out from under his body when he frantically tried to avoid the kick. Her face slowly turned pale. “It was you! You’re the man that Chen Lie said I had sex with as the antidote. Isn’t that right?!”
