It snowed heavily that night, and the entire imperial capital was covered in snow. It was like a Crystal Palace.
Gu Nianzhi was so nervous and excited the night before that when she came back, she fell into a deep sleep, as though she had passed out.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
She hugged the blanket and sat up. She was still in a daze, and her mind was still immersed in the dream from last night.
However, when she woke up, she could not recall most of her dream.
She sat in bed for a while, reached under her pillow, and pulled out her phone to take a look.
As expected, there were a few missed calls. Most of them were from the “King of Drama”.
There was one call from He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and called He Zhichu’s number first.
“Young Master He, were you looking for me?” Gu Nianzhi lay on the bed and did not want to get up.
He Zhichu could tell from her languid voice that she must have just woken up.
He put down the work at hand and turned his chair to face the snow outside the window. He said in a flat voice, “I want to go to Xiangshan to enjoy the snow. Do you join me?”
“Enjoy the snow in Xiangshan?” Gu Nianzhi was indeed interested.
Moreover, she felt that she had been too invested ever since she had decided that Far East Ace was Young Master Huo from the other side.
It would be terrible if the extremely sharp and observant Young Master Huo realizes that she had recognized him.
Therefore, she had to do something to divert his attention.
Gu Nianzhi smiled lightly and nodded. “Okay. I just woke up. I’m going to wash up now. Give me the address.”
He Zhichu had thought that Gu Nianzhi was going to reject him, but she agreed without hesitation. His spirits were lifted.
He stood up from his seat and said as calmly as he could, “I will pick you up.”
Gu Nianzhi: “…”
Looking at the heavy snow outside, she felt a headache.
“There’s so much snow outside, how are we going to get there? Are the roads shoveled-clean?” Gu Nianzhi walked to the window and looked carefully at the situation within the apartment complex.
The sidewalks in the apartment complex had been swept, and salt had been sprinkled to prevent freezing and skidding.
However, she did not know how the sweeping was going for the main road outside.
Gu Nianzhi muttered,”… I’m afraid the road condition isn’t good for driving. I’d better not go… You don’t have to bother…”
He Zhichu laughed, his bright peach-blossom eyes reflecting the white snow that covered the sky. He had a beautiful air about him.
“No worries.” He Zhichu reached for his coat and put it on, then hurried out of the office door.
Xie Qingying was wearing a red cashmere coat and a pair of seven-centimeter-tall Stuart Weitzman boots. She walked up to him.
“Young Master He, are you going to Xiangshan to enjoy the snow?” She asked happily.
He Zhichu’s heart skipped a beat. He said to Gu Nianzhi on the other end of the phone, “Xie Qingying and I are going to pick you up. Just wait at home. I’ll call you when we get there.” He then hung up.
Gu Nianzhi heard Xie Qingying on the other end of the line. Although she had only met and spoke to her once, she remembered her voice very clearly.
Seeing that Xie Qingying was coming along, Gu Nianzhi let her guard down and finally agreed to go.
However, after hanging up, she thought to herself, Xie Qingying is my cousin. Should I go and ask Dad if she can come over?
Gu Nianzhi quickly lifted the quilt and got up. She went to the bathroom to wash up and changed into a handsome stone-white ski down jacket and black, tight cashmere stretch pants.
As she was going to Xiangshan to enjoy the snow, she had specially chosen a pair of calf leather flat-heeled boots made of UGG pure wool.
These boots were very warm and had a non-slip sole. The inner sole is also made of a memory sponge, which made walking and climbing mountains are not tiring at all.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Lu Jin was already in the living room. She quickly said, “Dad, Young Master He will come and pick me up later to enjoy the snow in Xiangshan…”
She then said, “Xie Qingying will also come and pick me up with him.”
Xie Qingying’s mother, Gu Tian, was Gu Xiangwen’s younger sister, which was also Lu Jin’s younger sister.
However, the relationship between the brother and sister is very bad. Because of how severe Lu Jin’s interpersonal disorder is, the brother and sister had not contacted each other for many years.
As a result, Lu Jin’s relationship with Xie Dezhao, Gu Tian, and Xie Qingying’s family was very distant.
He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “Then have fun. If that Xie Qingying, who’s into new media, does anything bad to you, tell Daddy. After all, I’m her uncle. Meeting her uncle is like meeting her mother. I can discipline her on her mother’s behalf!”
Gu Nianzhi was flabbergasted.”… Is this how you use ‘meeting an uncle is like meeting your mother’? !”
“Why not?” Lu Jin shook his head disdainfully. “You can’t just enjoy the benefits of ‘meeting an uncle is like meeting a mother’ and not assume the obligations, right?”
Gu Nianzhi finally understood. She thought about it carefully and realized that there was nothing wrong with it!
The benefit of meeting an uncle is that an uncle can take care of his nephew like your own mother.
The responsibility of ‘meeting an uncle is like meeting a mother’ was that an uncle can discipline his nephew like his own mother.
Gu Nianzhi gave Lu Jin a thumbs up. “Dad, you have the potential to become a lawyer!”
The analysis of rights and obligations was very logical.
“However, if you use your identity as an uncle to teach her a lesson, wouldn’t you be exposed?” Gu Nianzhi said seriously, “So it’s better not to do anything. Don’t you trust your daughter? I’m your daughter, how can I be at a disadvantage?”
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard the roar of a helicopter coming from outside, even the windows were shaking.
Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin walked to the window and looked out. They saw a Bell 407 GXP helicopter descending from the sky and stopping on the platform above them.
Immediately after, Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang again.
It was He Zhichu calling.
“Nianzhi, come to the roof. I’ll take you to Fragrant Hill.”
Gu Nianzhi immediately understood.
He Zhichu came to pick her up in a helicopter…
She smiled happily and quickly put her backpack on her back. She nodded at Lu Jin and ran out quickly without saying anything.
Lu Jin was a little worried and quietly followed behind her. He watched as she entered the elevator and headed to the roof.
The snow on the roof of the apartment building had already been cleared, but with the huge movements from the helicopter propeller, the snow piled up in the corner of the wall was blown everywhere.
Gu Nianzhi pushed open the door to the top floor and was almost covered in snow.
She quickly put on her down jacket and ferret fur hat, and covered her mouth as she hid at the side.
Not long after, the helicopter’s propellers stopped completely. He Zhichu, who was wearing a winter flying leather jacket, jumped out of the helicopter and walked towards her.
“Nianzhi, why aren’t you wearing a mask?” He reached out his hand to her. “I still have a few masks on the plane. Go and try one on.”
Gu Nianzhi held his hand and the two of them boarded the helicopter together.
On the helicopter, Xie Qingying who was dressed in a fiery red dress, nodded slightly at Gu Nianzhi and smiled. “Hello, Miss Gu.”
Gu Nianzhi looked her up and down and nodded with a smile. “Miss Xie looks really beautiful today.”
Xie Qingying’s smile widened. “Thank you for the compliment, Miss Gu.”
“Cousin Xie, we don’t have to be so courteous, do we?” Gu Nianzhi made a funny face at her. “It feels more family-like to call you cousin.”
Xie Qingying saw that Gu Nianzhi was generous and did not want to put on a courteous front anymore. She smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll call you Nianzhi then.”
He Zhichu sat in the pilot seat and began to fly the helicopter.
Gu Nianzhi and Xie Qingying fastened their seatbelts and sat together to chat.
Gu Nianzhi could clearly feel that Xie Qingying was much more intimate than the last time she saw her.
