Chapter 1639: Shows My Sincerity
Huo Shaoheng placed his hands on the railing in front of him and looked at the group of young men and women who were having a snowball fight. He said slowly,”… if I remember correctly, when Young Master He was engaged to Miss Gu, you didn’t mind that he was much older than her, did you?”
He Zhichu smiled faintly, then he said meaningfully, “That’s why I broke off the engagement. I didn’t want to delay the young lady from finding a suitable man. As for you… can you be like those young men and women who don’t care about their identity and status and have a snowball fight with them without any scruples?”
He quickly sized up the man beside him who was exactly the same as Huo Shaoheng in the other world, but he also discovered many subtle differences.
For example, this Ace of the Far East, Peter, was aloof and detached, completely different from Major General Huo, who was calm and low-key.
Huo Shaoheng, who was on the other side of the world, would never say what he just said to Gu Nianzhi about pursuing her.
On the other hand, his father, He Chengjian, insisted on suspecting that this Ace of the Far East, Peter, was Huo Shaoheng on the other side. He had even set up a scheme to kill him at all costs, but in the end, he did not kill this Ace of the Far East, but almost killed Gu Nianzhi instead. He had even personally snuffed out the last glimmer of hope between him and Gu Nianzhi.
The light in He Zhichu’s eyes instantly dimmed.
He stopped smiling and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.
Huo Shaoheng shrugged nonchalantly and said, “It’s just a snowball fight. What’s so hard about it? Do you believe that I’ll end up burying those men who dare to dream about Miss Gu in the snow?”
He Zhichu choked and glanced sideways at Huo Shaoheng. “You? A dignified Soviet Union diplomat wants to have a snowball fight with those young men who are only in their early 20s?!”
The KGB’s Ace of the Far East wanted to fight these brats?
He Zhichu found it laughable. How could this person be the Special Operations Forces’ shrewd and scheming great general, Huo Shaoheng?
He couldn’t help but lament that his father had been too paranoid. He had let Nianzhi suffer so much for nothing.
He loved Gu Nianzhi dearly. Sometimes, he couldn’t even tell what kind of feelings he had for her that made him so worried.
But the moment Gu Nianzhi stopped breathing in his arms, he knew what he had to do.
No matter what kind of feelings he had for her, he had to extinguish them all.
Because in his heart, nothing was more important than Gu Nianzhi’s life.
As long as she was alive and kicking in this world and able to happily fight in the snow with others, he was content.
On the snowy ground in front of them, Gu Nianzhi seemed to be having a good time. She even took out her phone, then called Luo Piaopiao and a few of her friends over. She held up her phone and wanted to take a selfie with them.
Luo Piaopiao’s friends carried selfie sticks with them and quickly ran over to take a selfie. They held Gu Nianzhi’s camera and the group of young people looked at the camera with cute expressions and poses.
Luo Yaozu even sneaked up behind Gu Nianzhi and made a gesture of hugging her with both hands to take a selfie with her.
Of course, he did not touch Gu Nianzhi. He was at least a meter away from Gu Nianzhi and only made a gesture of hugging her from behind.
Huo Shaoheng saw this and snorted. His tone was defiant and disdainful. “Can’t I have a snowball fight? Only then can I show my sincerity in pursuing Miss Gu.” He lightly propped himself up on the railing of the pavilion with one hand and jumped over the railing.
Jumping down from the barbecue pavilion, Huo Shaoheng soon arrived at the place where the snowball fight was taking place.
The photo of Gu Nianzhi and Luo Piaopiao had just ended when the snowball fight started again.
Huo Shaoheng found Gu Nianzhi and said with a smile, “Come, I’ll be with you. We’ll beat them down!”
Gu Nianzhi happened to dodge a handful of snow from Luo Piaopiao. She turned her head and saw Huo Shaoheng coming. He even grabbed a handful of snow with an eager expression, as if he wanted to have a snowball fight with her!
Gu Nianzhi was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Her mind was completely blank. She had no idea that Luo Yaozu was throwing a handful of snow at her.
Huo Shaoheng saw this and pulled her away to protect himself. He flipped his hand and threw the snowball that he had just grabbed into the air.
The handful of snow that Luo Yaozu threw landed on Huo Shaoheng’s chest. Huo Shaoheng’s snowball was as fast as the wind. It was powerful and smashed into Luo Yaozu’s face with a loud bang!
“Ow!” Luo Yaozu cried out. He was hit by the handful of snow and fell back on the snow. The back of his head hit the hard ground and he couldn’t get up for a long time.
Luo Piaopiao thought he was joking and ran over to kick him. She smiled and said, “Second brother! Get up! They’re attacking us!”
Luo Yaozu saw stars and groaned, “Piaopiao, I can’t take it anymore. My eyes are going blind and my head is hurting. Help me find a doctor…” Then he vomited.
Luo Piaopiao was scared out of her wits. She quickly waved her hand to stop them and said anxiously, “My second brother is hurt! We need to find a doctor!”
Gu Nianzhi poked her head out from behind Huo Shaoheng and saw the situation with Luo Yaozu and Luo Piaopiao. She wondered what was going on?
Huo Shaoheng turned around and spread his hands at her. “It was just a snowball fight. I didn’t expect him to be so weak.”
“Weak?!” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “What did you do?!”
The other person who had been in a snowball fight with them earlier whispered, “… He almost knocked Yaozu out with a snowball.”
“I think it’s a concussion. Look, he’s throwing up…” The other person spoke in an even softer voice and looked at Huo Shaoheng with awe.
Gu Nianzhi really didn’t know what to say.
She glared at Huo Shaoheng, turned around, and ran back to the barbecue pavilion. She whispered a few words to He Zhichu.
He Zhichu laughed so hard that he couldn’t even straighten his back, but he still agreed to call Luo Yaozu a doctor.
He sent a few orderly soldiers to carry Luo Yaozu to the small lounge next to the manor’s Hall, then waited for the Doctor to come and treat him.
The rest of the people didn’t fight in the snow anymore and followed him back to the main hall.
The barbeque master simply moved the barbeque equipment to a small banquet hall. It was bright on all sides and one could admire the snow and see the plum blossoms. However, the view wasn’t as good as that of the Barbeque Pavilion.
Xie Qingying limped over with her walking stick and asked about Luo Yaozu softly.
He Zhichu couldn’t help laughing and teased, “That Soviet diplomat is too strong. No wonder they are known as a fighting tribe. They are even more valiant than others in a snowball fight.”
Gu Nianzhi followed Luo Piaopiao to Luo Yaozu’s side and was very apologetic.
She just wanted to get to know these two people so that she could ask about the Qin family and Qin Yaoguang. She really didn’t expect Huo Shaoheng to use such a “dirty trick”…
Why hadn’t she noticed that this person was so prone to jealousy before?
Even so, she was still happy in her heart.
The person she loved cared so much about her. It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy.
However, she still had to put on an angry expression on the surface. It was truly unacceptable.
Gu Nianzhi was now in awe of the actors. Of course, she was even more in awe of the soldiers on the special battlefront.
They were experiencing this discomfort every moment, but they had no complaints.
Luo Yaozu laid on his side on the sofa. His head was spinning and his chest felt nauseous. He wanted to throw up, but seeing Gu Nianzhi beside him, he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of a beautiful woman. He resisted the urge to throw up, and his handsome face paled.
Luo Piaopiao saw Gu Nianzhi’s worried face and how much she cared about Luo Yaozu. She, thinking that there was actually someone who didn’t like the handsome Soviet diplomat just now, but liked her second brother instead, was secretly amazed.
Her eyes flashed, and she pretended to say casually, “Cousin Gu, that Soviet diplomat is too strong, isn’t he? He can knock someone out with a simple snowball. Won’t one be subject to domestic violence in the future if one stays with someone like that?”
Gu Nianzhi came back to her senses and glanced at her. She also said deliberately, “That’s for sure. I heard that the two favorite things of Soviet men are drinking vodka and beating their wives.”
Huo Shaoheng, who had just walked over, was speechless.
Luo Piaopiao saw the Soviet diplomat walking over from the corner of her eye. She immediately changed her expression and became shy.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and carefully sized up Luo Yaozu. After confirming that he was fine, he said to Gu Nianzhi bluntly, “I moved to your apartment complex today. You didn’t pick up when I called you, so I had to come here to look for you.”
Luo Piaopiao was instantly discouraged.
This person was chasing Gu Nianzhi so hard, so how could anyone else have any hope?!
Luo Yaozu was about to vomit blood when he heard that. He suddenly felt dizzy and couldn’t help vomiting again.
Huo Shaoheng immediately put one hand on Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder and the other hand covered her eyes. He pulled her away almost forcibly and said, “This gentleman vomited when he saw you. Do you still want to stay here and look after him?”
Gu Nianzhi was originally quite happy, but Huo Shaoheng’s words made her a little angry. “He wants to throw up when he saw me? He was fine just now, but he threw up when he saw you coming over!”
She pushed Huo Shaoheng’s hand away and saw that he had already pulled her into the VIP lounge where He Zhichu was. She had no choice but to sit down angrily and take out her phone to look at the photos she had taken just now.
Huo Shaoheng leaned against the armrest of the sofa next to her and looked down at the photos she had just taken on her phone. He felt a little uneasy when he saw that she had been staring at where Luo Piaopiao and Luo Yaozu were standing in the photos.
However, when he took a closer look at Luo Piaopiao, he suddenly felt that she looked a little familiar.
From the angle where she was smiling at the camera, she actually looked a little like the doll that Gu Nianzhi had held in her hands when she was young…
Huo Shaoheng was too familiar with Gu Nianzhi’s doll. They had used various instruments to analyze it, but found nothing. They had only concluded that it was just a doll.
But he couldn’t say that.
He would be exposed as soon as he said it.
Because it was impossible for the Ace of the Far East to know about the doll that Gu Nianzhi had brought to the other world when she was 12.
Only Huo Shaoheng, who was in the other world, knew about it.
Therefore, Huo Shaoheng averted his gaze and walked quietly to the door. He put on his sunglasses and pretended to look around at the snowy scenery outside the door. He aimed at Luo Piaopiao, who was in the small lounge next to him, and took a few more photos.
His sunglasses were actually a small camera with the ability to connect to the internet and synchronize with the cloud.
