One Hundred and Seventy First Chapter 18th Birthday (A)

Gu Nianzhi stopped and turned around with a smile on his face: "Professor He, is there anything else?"

He Zhichu was still resting his forehead with his hands, sitting on the sofa, watching her quietly.

Gu Nianzhi didn't speak, and waited patiently for him to speak.

The huge living room was quiet, and the snow-white window screens hung down from the tall floor-to-ceiling windows like a waterfall.

There is a person-high clock in the corner of the room, like an antique, the pendulum is still swinging continuously, with an occasional click, which makes the room even more silent.

The maid and the housekeeper didn't know where to hide, and they couldn't see anyone at all.

The two of them looked at each other quietly, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

He Zhichu pursed his lips, looked away, and said in a calm voice: "I promised you to hold your eighteenth birthday party, and now I have three places for you to choose, one is in the banquet hall of the Capitol, and the other is in the The rose garden on the South Lawn of the White House, and the third place is on the high seas cruise ship on the Caribbean side. ——Which one do you want to choose, let me know tomorrow. Time is running out, it’s time to make preparations.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled, his eyes were a little wandering, "Professor He is polite. I was joking before, don't take it seriously. How can my birthday cost you money? It's not necessary. I will have a cake with my relatives and friends. Just blow out a candle."

For her, although the eighteenth birthday is important, the most important thing is who to spend it with.

If Huo Shaoheng can come to celebrate her birthday in person, it doesn't matter if there is no cake and candles, as long as he can see him standing in front of her and say happy birthday to her personally, her eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony will be perfect.

He Zhichu could clearly see that Gu Nianzhi was absent-minded, his fists were clenched so tightly that veins burst out on the back of his hands, which were very eye-catching on his fair skin, like ice cracks on fine porcelain.

"You don't have to take it seriously, but I, He Zhichu, have never broken my promise." He Zhichu stood up, "You don't need to refuse, and don't think too much. I will hold birthday parties for my students on their birthdays. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

Gu Nianzhi withdrew his thoughts and thought about it carefully.

She once heard from a graduate student brother that those supervisors would indeed celebrate the birthdays of the graduate students she brought, but most of them would go out for a meal in a restaurant and then go to sing K. Said.

Of course, a mentor as powerful as He Zhichu is incomparable to those people.

"It will take time to prepare any of these three choices, so you should choose one quickly." He Zhichu turned and walked towards the spiral staircase, leaving Gu Nianzhi with a tall and lonely back.

Gu Nianzhi bit her lip, and it was obvious that He Zhichu was angry.

Thinking about his ability, these three choices are probably like going to a movie, going to a restaurant, or going to a karaoke to sing K for ordinary people on their birthdays.

"... Will cruise ships on the high seas of the Caribbean be troublesome?" Gu Nianzhi said weakly.

She is selfish.

If her eighteenth birthday ceremony was held in the US Congress or the Rose Garden on the South Lawn of the White House, the possibility of Huo Shaoheng being able to come would be very low.

And even if he overcomes all difficulties and can really come to see her, Gu Nianzhi is reluctant to put him in danger.

She knew that Huo Shaoheng's identity was too sensitive, and the CIA on the American side might not have been keeping an eye on him...

He Zhichu's footsteps stopped, his hands rested on the banister of the stairs, and his two long legs stepped on the stairs, one up and one down, and said without looking back, "Okay, it's a cruise ship on the Caribbean High Seas."

He felt better.

Because he is also willing to use the third method in his heart.

On the cruise ship on the high seas, he can celebrate her birthday without any scruples.

But he still didn't look back, walked up the stairs slowly by himself, and threw Gu Nianzhi downstairs.

Gu Nianzhi sighed, turned around and left the main house, went to the garage to find the driver just now to take him home.

The driver was very talkative and chatted with Gu Nianzhi about a lot of interesting things between He Zhichu and the students.

It turns out that He Zhichu really celebrates the birthdays of the graduate students he brought with him every year.

And they're all big.

In the past three years, he has sent his students on a day trip to Las Vegas, chartered a studio at Universal Studios Florida, and taken them hunting in Africa.

In comparison, the three choices he had prepared for himself were indeed not out of the ordinary.

Gu Nianzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly mocked that he was really petty.

The distance between He Zhichu and her is too far. A girl from an ordinary family like her cannot imagine the way these top elites spend their money.

Back at the apartment where he and Zhao Liangze lived, Gu Nianzhi told him about the 18th birthday gift: "...Professor He gave three options, the US Congress, the White House, and a cruise ship on the high seas of the Caribbean. I chose a cruise ship on the high seas of the Caribbean for my birthday. Is it easier for Uncle Huo to go?"

Zhao Liangze smiled, "The high seas are indeed much easier than entering the U.S. Congress and the White House. I told them that Nobita will come too."

"That's great!" Gu Nianzhi was so happy that her eyes curved into two curves, and her thick black eyelashes flickered on her fair and tender face. They were two disturbing butterflies.

Zhao Liangze looked away, "I'll go talk to them."

...

"Young Master Huo, Professor He plans to celebrate Nianzhi's 18th birthday on a cruise ship on the high seas of the Caribbean." Zhao Liangze sent the news back without using a video call.

When Huo Shaoheng saw the news, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he calmed down quickly.

"Daxiong, you don't need to trouble yourself." Huo Shaoheng called Yin Shixiong, "Nianzhi's eighteenth birthday ceremony was held on the high seas."

Yin Shixiong was happy, "On the high seas? Hahahaha, great, great, we can be unscrupulous in the high seas hahaha..."

...

When Mei Xiawen received the news of Gu Nianzhi's eighteenth birthday party, it was only a week before her birthday.

"...It's actually held on a cruise ship on the high seas of the Caribbean?" He looked at the electronic invitation card that Gu Nianzhi sent him, and was very surprised, "Who made such a big deal?"

Jiang Hongcha lay on his back, hugged his neck, and looked at the electronic invitation on the computer with him, and was also surprised: "Isn't your little girlfriend an orphan? Her guardian is so rich? Give her A birthday party on a Caribbean cruise?"

"Her guardian is an ordinary white-collar worker, how could she have so much money?" Mei Xiawen shook his head absently, with a bad guess in his heart, his face darkened.

Jiang Hongcha paused, thinking of going with Mei Xiawen, a strange smile appeared on her face, and whispered in Mei Xiawen's ear: "Look, no matter how miserable her background is, as long as she With good looks and brains, she has unlimited possibilities. So never underestimate women."

"What do you mean?" Mei Xiawen pushed Jiang Hongcha away, "Nianzhi is not this kind of person."

He refused to believe that Gu Nianzhi betrayed him just like Jiang Hongcha.

"I didn't say what kind of person she is." Jiang Hongcha sat back on the sofa, crossed her slender legs, supported her stomach with her hands, and said lightly: "But a penniless orphan girl can suddenly find her in the Caribbean. The 18th birthday ceremony was held on the cruise ship, didn't you find the sponsor?"

Mei Xiawen walked into the back room without saying a word, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Gu Nianzhi's number.

It was seven or eight o'clock in the morning on Gu Nianzhi's side.

She had just walked into the office of the Appropriations Committee in the U.S. Capitol when she heard her cell phone ring. Seeing that it was Mei Xiawen's call, she swiped the phone in a good mood to connect: "Xia Wen? Have you received the invitation?"

"Received." Mei Xiawen held back his anger, and asked softly: "Nianzhi, why did you think of going to the Caribbean cruise ship to celebrate your birthday?"

"It's not what I thought." Gu Nianzhi said cheerfully, "It's Professor He, he celebrated my birthday and invited everyone to go on a Caribbean cruise."

It turned out to be Professor He.

Mei Xiawen breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, his heart tightened again, "Professor He? He...he...how did he treat you so well? So willing to spend money?"

Mei Xiawen's tone made Gu Nianzhi very unhappy, "What do you mean? Please speak clearly."

She walked into her small office angrily and closed the door.

Mei Xiawen raked his hair irritably, "Don't be stupid, you know what I mean. You said, well done, how could a mentor give you so much money for your birthday? You think I'm stupid ?!"

"Mei Xiawen! Don't humiliate me, but also Professor He!" Gu Nianzhi was furious, wishing he could shake the phone with one hand, "Apologize to me immediately! Otherwise, I won't talk to you again!"

Gu Nianzhi's reaction was so loud that there was even a hint of nasal crying in his voice.

"...Is there really no other reason?" Mei Xiawen was also nervous, "Nianzhi, you know that I love you, I have been waiting for you, and you promised me to be my girlfriend when you come back in half a year, you can't Break your promise!"

Gu Nianzhi was very angry, but Mei Xiawen was so nervous about her, she couldn't continue to quarrel with him, and his worries were not completely unreasonable.

Before Gu Nianzhi knew about He Zhichu's generous treatment of students, didn't she also keep a distance from him cautiously?

"Xia Wen, Professor He's status is unusual. He always spends such a big time celebrating students' birthdays. I'm not really out of line this time." Gu Nianzhi endured his anger and explained to Mei Xiawen, "He once sent Professor He paid for his students’ one-day trips to Las Vegas, chartered tours at Universal Studios Florida, and taking them hunting in Africa.”

"Ah?!" Mei Xiawen realized at this moment that he was wrong. He was ashamed and thought to himself that he was really a frog in a well. It seems that people like Professor He are richer than the rich second generation from his aristocratic family.

"Read it, I was wrong, I shouldn't have thought this way without knowing it." Mei Xiawen sincerely apologized, "Look, it's different to be a student with Professor He. Such a big deal has never been seen in our country. Which professor would do this for his graduate student?"

Gu Nianzhi still appreciates Mei Xiawen's attitude of correcting mistakes and not quarreling overnight, and the two are in different places and are still in the early stage of contact, so this kind of timely explanation is even more necessary.

She hasn't promised Mei Xiawen to be his girlfriend yet, and Mei Xiawen is so nervous about her, is it really an expression of love?

"Okay, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now." Gu Nianzhi then gave Mei Xiawen a step down, "Then will you come or not?"

"Come on, of course I'll come, definitely come!" Mei Xiawen rubbed his fists, planning to take the opportunity to get close to Professor He, let him know that Gu Nianzhi is his girlfriend, will he take care of him more?

After hanging up the phone, Mei Xiawen pushed the door out and saw Jiang Hongcha standing up from his computer.

"What are you doing?" Mei Xiawen didn't like others touching his computer.

"Played minesweeper." Jiang Hongcha shrugged, "How is it? Did you ask?"

"Well, it was her mentor who held a birthday party for her." Mei Xiawen threw the phone on the computer table, "You are overthinking."

"Tutor?" Jiang Hongcha's eyeballs rolled around, "Xia Wen, when I was studying at the Juliet Conservatory of Music, I once knew that some of our female classmates slept with professors in exchange for a good score and scholarship..."

"Professor He is not that kind of person." Mei Xiawen thought it over at this moment, "And for others, going to a cruise ship for a birthday is like getting your nails done, do you think getting your nails done will ruin your fortune? "

Having known Mei Xiawen for so long, Jiang Hongcha felt that this time was the most ruthless time he had been blackmailed by him.

She endured it and endured it, and in the end she still endured it, and stayed with Mei Xiawen as if nothing happened.

Mei Xiawen planned everything well, but he didn't expect that in the morning when he was going to fly the next day, Jiang Hongcha, who stayed overnight with him, suddenly complained of a stomachache and rolled all over the bed in pain...

"Black tea? Black tea? How are you doing?!" Mei Xiawen panicked and picked up the phone and started calling an ambulance.

Half an hour later, ginger black tea was rushed to the operating room.

Mei Xiawen sat alone outside the operating room, no one dared to say anything, because the doctor told him that Ginger Black Tea had a miscarriage...

He watched helplessly as his plane flew away.

Two hours later, ginger black tea was pushed out of the operating room.

The obstetrician and gynecologist with a loud voice looked at Mei Xiawen reproachfully: "You too, your girlfriend has a child, and you still don't know how to control yourself. Now that the child is gone, are you happy?"

Mei Xiawen couldn't say a word.

He quietly guarded Jiang Hongcha's hospital bed until she woke up in the afternoon.

"Xia Wen?" Jiang Hongcha looked at him apologetically, "Your flight is delayed, you should hurry up and buy another flight before it's too late."

Mei Xiawen shook his head, "No need. I will celebrate her birthday next year when she returns to China. I will be with you for a few days."

Miscarriage also has to do confinement.

...

Soon, Gu Nianzhi, who was far away in a foreign country, received a text message from Mei Xiawen, saying that he had something to do these few days and couldn't come.

Gu Nianzhi looked at her mobile phone, she didn't feel particularly disappointed, she thought for a while, and replied a text message to Mei Xiawen, expressing her understanding very politely.

And He Zhichu is not in Washington DC these days.

According to Wen Shouyi, Professor He rushed back because of an urgent matter in his hometown. He might not be able to attend the birthday party this time, but he entrusted everything to Wen Shouyi Yunyun.

Gu Nianzhi didn't completely believe Wen Shouyi's words, but the night before her birthday, He Zhichu hadn't come back yet.

Gu Nianzhi sat in her bedroom with her little panda pillow in her arms, holding her head up and thinking, this time, probably only Uncle Huo and the others will be by her side to celebrate her birthday.

Zhao Liangze came over and knocked on the door, and said with a smile, "Go to bed early, I have to go to the airport early tomorrow morning."
