Chapter 191 Returning on a Snowy Night
"Did you have a nightmare?" An orderly following behind muttered in a low voice, feeling a little unbelievable.
They had worked as orderlies in Huo Zhai for many years, and this was the first time they encountered such a situation.
There are extremely strict security measures inside and outside the house, and no outsiders have ever broken in. How could a woman suddenly break through their defense line?
Gu Nianzhi walked to his bed in a daze, and lifted the quilt that was only lifted at one corner, and found that the sheets were as smooth as if no one had slept on it...
She knew it in her heart, and turned her head to look at Huo Shaoheng seriously: "Uncle Huo, do you believe me?"
"I believe it." Huo Shaoheng stood at the door of the bedroom with his hands behind his back. He didn't go to Gu Nianzhi's bed, but walked to the side where the floor-to-ceiling curtains hung on the south wall of the bedroom.
Lifting a corner of the curtain, Huo Shaoheng took the handle of the french window, and with a slight push, the french window was pushed open a crack.
The cold wind and snow immediately rushed into the bedroom.
"The windows are not closed." Huo Shaoheng looked back at the orderlies, "Who cleaned up this house today?"
Those orderlies shook their heads: "Report to the chief, this is all cleaned up by the servants, we don't do this."
They are only responsible for the daily safety of the Huo family's two military figures, the retired former vice chairman of the military department Huo Xuenong, and his son Huo Guanchen, the current director of the political department of the military department. The meals for these two are cooked by special orderlies , Don't eat in the same pot with the rest of the Huo family.
Now that Huo Shaoheng is back, of course there is one more service target for these orderlies.
Gu Nianzhi is not a member of the army, her affairs should be taken care of by the servants of the Huo family.
Huo Shaoheng turned his head and looked out the window. He remembered that along the flower bed and garden, there was a line of wrought iron street lamps lighting up, which was as bright as day at night. Therefore, the curtains in the rooms of Huo Zhai must have a very strict blackout effect.
But now the street lights outside are all off.
This is not unusual.
"Why are the streetlights gone?" Huo Shaoheng silently closed the window, locked it, then lowered the curtains, and looked back at the orderlies.
The lead orderly turned pale, and he didn't notice the problem.
The small apartment that Gu Nianzhi lives in is a corner of Huo Zhai that has been vacant for a long time, and no one has lived in it for more than ten years.
This time, because Huo Shaoheng temporarily ordered someone to call back to say that he was going home for the New Year, the Huo family hurriedly cleaned up.
The street light outside this suite is not an important location, so it doesn't matter whether it is off or on.
But today is different.
"... Chief, what do you mean, someone came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows?" The leading orderly hurriedly saluted, "I'll find someone to repair the street lamp."
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand, as if he didn't want to pursue it, "I'll fix it tomorrow. It's locked here, and no one is allowed to come near."
"Yes, Chief."
Huo Shaoheng walked to Gu Nianzhi's side, "Pack up your things and live with me."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't get what he wanted, rushed to the bathroom to put his toiletries back in the suitcase, dragged him out behind Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng walked a few steps, heard the sound of her clattering slippers, and the rumble of the suitcase dragging on the ground, turned around and took the suitcase from her hand, took her hand with the other hand, and brought her into his suite.
The door of the suite was closed with a bang, and of course the orderlies didn't follow in.
They discussed it and sent a few people to guard the door of the bedroom where Gu Nianzhi lived just now, not allowing anyone to approach.
...
Gu Nianzhi followed into the apartment where Huo Shaoheng lived, and only then did he have the time to look around.
Just now she was brought in by Huo Shaoheng, and she went directly to Huo Shaoheng's master bedroom, and hadn't had time to take a good look at it.
"What are you looking at, don't you go to bed?" Huo Shaoheng pointed to his bedroom, "You sleep there, I'll sleep in the second bedroom."
His suite has three bedrooms and two living rooms, including a master bedroom with a bathroom, two secondary bedrooms sharing a bathroom, a spacious living room as a living room, and a well-equipped study.
Gu Nianzhi refused, and followed Huo Shaoheng with his head down, whispering, "Uncle Huo, do you really believe me?"
"Well, go to sleep first, I have something to say tomorrow." Seeing that she was not moving, Huo Shaoheng picked up her suitcase with one hand, supported her arm with the other, and walked to his master bedroom.
Putting down the suitcase, she took Gu Nianzhi to the side of her big bed, "Don't think about it, go to sleep."
"But I really saw it. It's not a dream." Gu Nianzhi raised his head and grabbed Huo Shaoheng's wrist, "...and after I ran out, someone came into my bedroom."
"how do you know?"
"Because the sheets are too flat." Gu Nianzhi was still trembling all over, and he spoke intermittently, "...I got up from the bed all at once, and I didn't go back to tidy the sheets. But when I went in just now, Uncle Huo also saw it, The quilt on the bed was neatly set up, and only one corner was lifted, and I remember that I got up too hastily, and when I ran outside, I dragged half of the quilt to the ground."
Huo Shaoheng has been looking at her, listening to her quietly, his black pupils are like jade, with brilliance inside, he seems to understand everything, but maybe he doesn't care about anything.
After she finished speaking, Huo Shaoheng stepped over her body, bent over and shook off the quilt on the bed, and saw some messy wrinkles on his sheets, yes, this is the appearance of getting up in a hurry.
Gu Nianzhi's bed should indeed have been remade.
Huo Shaoheng put her on the bed calmly, covered her with the quilt, "Hey, go to sleep."
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to close her eyes, feeling that Huo Shaoheng left the master bedroom, turned off the light at the door, and went out.
After he left, Gu Nianzhi opened his eyes in the dark.
If sleeping alone, she is used to having a night light on.
She couldn't sleep alone in total darkness.
She rolled on the bed for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.
And still a little scared.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't understand why such a thing happened on the first night at Huo's house.
She recalled the appearance of the woman in the white robe over and over again, always feeling a little familiar.
Her memory is very good, almost photographic.
Just now, she had a glimpse in the dimness, but she still firmly remembered some typical features of that woman.
For example, her eyes are narrow and long phoenix eyes, and the eyelashes should be very thick, because she remembers that when she looked down at her, her eyes looked like she had her own eyeliner.
Her nose is tall and delicate, with the smoothest lines.
The lip shape of the lips is beautiful, and the skin color should be very, very white, because under the dim light, Gu Nianzhi only felt that the woman was as white as Bai Xue, so beautiful that people could not speak.
There seemed to be a timid look on his face, but also curiosity.
When she reached out her hand, shouldn't she be malicious to her?
Gu Nianzhi turned over again on the bed, unable to sleep anymore.
Finally sat up, thumped the bed helplessly, then hugged his hair in a daze.
Huo Shaoheng didn't fall asleep in the second bedroom.
He could hear a little noise from the next door because he didn't close the door.
He finally heard the sound of Gu Nianzhi beating the bed, and he couldn't sleep anymore. He lifted the quilt and got up, went to his master bedroom and turned on the light, and saw Gu Nianzhi sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, with his head between his knees.
Gu Nianzhi noticed that someone was coming in, and immediately raised his head vigilantly, the light was on immediately, and Huo Shaoheng had already walked over from the door of the master bedroom.
"Can't sleep? Choose a bed?" Huo Shaoheng sat on the edge of the bed, and the mattress was deeply sunken. Gu Nianzhi felt that his center of gravity was going to be unstable.
She moved towards Huo Shaoheng and murmured, "It's too dark in the room..."
In Huo Shaoheng's master bedroom, both the ceiling light and the bedside light are very bright, there is no dim night light that is specially used at night.
Gu Nianzhi fell asleep in the suite over there just now because he was tired and sleepy, but he dreamed after not sleeping for long.
But now, she has been making noise for a long time, and she is almost awake.
"Tomorrow I'll send someone to buy a night light." Huo Shaoheng lifted the quilt, "Go to sleep."
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to slip into the quilt again, and looked at Huo Shaoheng eagerly: "...Then don't leave, okay?"
