Chapter 1263 - It’s Difficult To Like Someone
Hello, Mr. Major General
After sending Yin Shixiong a text message, Huo Shaoheng put away his phone and glanced at Gu Nianzhi silently.Playing with her phone, Gu Nianzhi was unaware of it.
She checked Linaâs phone number, and sure enough, she didnât have Wechat.
She felt a little regretful, but didnât press the issue.
This young lady was so aloof that Gu Nianzhi felt that if she continued to ask, it would turn into harassment..
Why would she do such a tacky thing?
Since the other party wasnât interested, she stopped nagging.
The only person she had ever pestered was Huo Shaoheng.
Gu Nianzhiâs mind went back to the time when she tried to test Huo Shaoheng before the two of them started dating.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She couldnât help but smile.
The beauty of romance is that when you reminisce about it, you canât help but smile.
At the moment, exuding a seductive sweetness that people couldnât help but want to savor, Gu Nianzhiâs smile was so sweet it was like honey.
Huo Shaohengâs eyes flashed as he took in her smile. He closed his eyes. Although his mind was still racing nervously, the corners of his lips were already curved into a smile.
At the same time, he reached out and held Gu Nianzhiâs hand tightly.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him. Seeing that his eyes were closed, she asked, âAre you tired? If youâre tired, then sleep for a while. Iâll wake you up when we get there. â
Huo Shaoheng: â ... â
Gu Nianzhi pulled her hand out and patted Huo Shaohengâs shoulder. Then she remembered what Lina had said just now. The driver must have been severely injured.
Her heart skipped a beat. Without even thinking, she moved her fingers and sent another exclusive red packet to the driver.
There wasnât much money left in her digital wallet, so she only sent a red packet of 66.66 with the words âwhether itâs important or not, the red packet will decideâ.
The driver was driving, so he didnât know that Gu Nianzhi had sent him another exclusive red packet.
However, Vladimir was looking at his phone and couldnât help seeing another red packet appear in the button-down discussion group.
He quickly switched over.
It was another exclusive red packet!
Staring at the words âwhether itâs important or not, itâs up to the red packetâ written on the red packet, Vladimirâs good mood instantly sank to rock bottom.
He glanced sideways at the middle-aged driver, snorted, and put his phone away. What was out of sight was out of mind.
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she put her phone away. She said, âmy phone is about to run out of battery. Iâm not going to play with it anymore for the moment. I must charge it as soon as I get off the bus and arrive at my destination.â
There was no one in the car to answer her.
Gu Nianzhi was a little embarrassed.
People who liked to talk were most afraid of sudden silence in the air.
It was like a conversation killer had suddenly appeared in a lively group chat, and then everyone stopped talking.
The driver quickly said, âIs your battery dead? I can charge it here. Cereus, give me your phone, Iâll charge it for you.â
âHuh? Really? Thank you, Uncle Ivan! â Her eyes narrowing, Gu Nianzhi smiled. âIt was worth it for me to give you a red packet just now! â
âAnother red packet? And an exclusive packet?!â The driverâs spirits were lifted, and his mood, which had been down in the dumps after he was deemed as âinsignificantâ, instantly lifted. He laughed heartily.
Such a cheerful person wouldnât suffer no matter where he went.
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself with a smile.
Lina did not speak as she sat next to Gu Nianzhi.
Her presence was now at its lowest, so much so that people could barely hear the sound of her breathing.
Although she was sitting there, she didnât seem to have any emotional fluctuations as a human being. She was like a piece of furniture or car accessorie.
Gu Nianzhi was the complete opposite. Wherever she went, her presence could not be ignored.
The chauffeur happened to be the same sort of person, so the two of them were naturally compatible.
In the jeep, Gu Nianzhi and the chauffeur chatted happily.
âUncle Ivan, how many children do you have?â
âHaha, I have two. One is a son, and the other is a daughter. Vladimir isnât as good as me in this regard. â The chauffeur was very proud of himself, and didnât forget to mention his superior everywhere.
But who would want to be mentioned in such a manner!
Vladimir was infuriated.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the back so she couldnât see Vladimirâs sulky expression. She continued to smile as she said, âHuh? Is that so? Vladimir only has one child, so heâs not as good as you in this regard? â
in terms of the number of children, one definitely wasnât as good as two.
âHahahaha! He doesnât have any! â The driver was so excited that he honked a few times.
Gu Nianzhi: â ... â
She seemed to have asked something she shouldnât have.
Gu Nianzhi didnât want to discuss other peopleâs privacy, so she quickly tried to change the topic.
But the middle-aged driver wouldnât let go of this topic. He giggled and said, âVladamir has high standards! He still doesnât even have a girlfriend! How is he going to have a baby?!â
Gu Nianzhi: â ! ! ! â
This was bad. The demon of gossip was burning. Gu Nianzhi quickly asked, âVladimir doesnât have a girlfriend?! It canât be. Heâs so manly and handsome. Why doesnât he even have a girlfriend?â She cocked her head and looked at Vladimir, then asked, âAre your standards especially high? You donât actually have to be like this. Just find someone you like.â
Huo Shaoheng remained silent on the side. He only pursed his lips when he heard the words âmanly and handsomeâ.
It seemed like he had to increase Nianzhiâs vocabulary. Huo Shaoheng thought to himself silently. She had to praise everyone with the words âmanly and handsome.â Canât she be a little more creative?
Vladimir was initially very disheartened by this topic and had the urge to shut the two of them up a few times. However, when he heard Gu Nianzhi say that he was âmanly and handsomeâ, he felt like he was on cloud nine.
He smiled and said, âYes, itâs good to find someone you like. But itâs too difficult to find someone you like... â
As he spoke, he deliberately turned to glance at Huo Shaoheng, then said to Gu Nianzhi earnestly, âCereus, do you know that men in our line of work are almost immune to women? Itâs not easy to fall in love with someone.â
âAh? How can you be immune? â Gu Nianzhi didnât understand. âHave you never fallen in love with another woman? Never?â
âItâs not that I havenât. Itâs just that Iâve been in this line of work for a long time, and sometimesââI canât tell if Iâm earnestly in love or if Iâm faking it. â Vladimir emphasized, then he chuckled teasingly. âIf you donât believe me, you can ask Major General Huo. Back when he was on missions, he probably had seen many beautiful women and handsome men. Itâs too easy to fall in love for real while faking it. Also, anti-beauty training is also a standard part of our line of work... â
His words of advice were indeed from personal experience. He trusted Gu Nianzhi with all his heart, but at the same time, he was also badmouthing Huo Shaoheng in front of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi instantly grasped his insinuations. She wouldnât let him succeed.
She patted Vladimir on the shoulder, then said sympathetically, âDonât be discouraged. This means that your level of expertise isnât good enough. You need to practice more before you can differentiate between real love and fake love. For example, Major General Huo would never be like you, unable to differentiate between true feelings and fake acting. â
She then added, âNo wonder the KGBâs reputation has changed so much recently. Itâs been surpassed by our countryâs special operations forces. ââLike the saying goes, fish begins to stink at the head.â
Vladimirâs smirk froze on his face.
How could Gu Nianzhiâs words be so hurtful? !
She had even deliberately stabbed him in the heart!
On the other hand, the middle-aged driver, snickered and laughed so hard in front of them that he almost drove the car into the ditch.
Vladimirâs embarrassment turned into anger, and he turned around in fury. He waved his fist at the driver and said fiercely, âDrive properly! How dare you laugh! â
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow.
Ha, how dare he speak ill of Major General Huo in front of her. Did he think she was that dim-witted or that much of a pushover?
Huo Shaoheng still had his eyes closed, but the smile on his face gradually widened.
Lina finally gave Gu Nianzhi a serious look and contemplated it for a while, then she said stiffly, âLieutenant General Vladimir is very popular, and there are many women who like him. Lieutenant General Vladimir is willing to devote all his attention to his job, so he has no spare time to think about personal matters.â
Gu Nianzhiâs eyes widened in surprise.
She didnât expect that such an aloof young lady also knew how to be obsequious!
Although the flattery was rather stiff, as long as it worked, it was good.
At least Vladimir liked it.
Gu Nianzhi could tell that Vladimirâs ears were blushing and were twitching secretly..
The driver hadnât expected Lina, who was usually a quiet assasin, to actually speak up for Vladimir!
As far as he knew, Vladimir was a little interested in Lina..
Emmmmmm... interesting..
Gu Nianzhi looked at Vladimir and then at Lina. She seemed to have sensed that something was off as well.
However, it would be a bit too much to gossip further.
Gu Nianzhi would rather die than admit it, but she was actually afraid that the young lady who could launch the RGP-7 rocket launcher on her shoulder would get angry and give her a shot as well. What should she do?!
Of course, she had to quickly change the topic.....
Gu Nianzhiâs gaze shifted to the scenary outside the car window. Looking at the scenery outside, she suddenly nudged Huo Shaoheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said in surprise, âMajor General Huo! Look! That lake is so beautiful! Itâs so blue that itâs shining! Itâs even bigger than the lake I saw in the Alps, and even more beautiful! â
The driver also looked out of the window and said with a smile, âThatâs Baikal Lake. â
Baikal Lake was the largest freshwater lake on the entire Blue Planet. Naturally, the small lakes in the Alps could not be compared to it.
The scenery was picturesque, and the green springs were verdant. The blue sky was reflected in the lake, and it was even more intense and clear than the blue color of the sea.
In fact, this was only the northernmost corner of Baikal Lake. After crossing the northernmost tip of Baikal Lake, they entered the Tungusi area.
It was only a fleeting glance, but it had already left a deep impression.
It was like a peerless beauty shrouded in a veil. The gentle breeze blew the veil up, revealing the flawless jawline of her jaw. Itâs sublimity was enough to awe people.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue. âIf we have the chance, letâs go for a walk by the lake. â
The middle-aged driver quickly said, âQhy donât we go now? â
âGo where? Do you really think youâre here for a sightseeing trip? â Vladimir said snappily, âOur countryâs physicists, as well as those from the Huaxia Empire, have already met up in the Tunguska area. Yet we, who are supposed to protect them, are still wasting time on the road! Wonât your conscience feel guilty?!â
