Hello, Mr. Major General

“Yeah, in with the new and out with the old. The past doesn’t matter because we only care about the present and the future.” Huo Shaoheng kissed Gu Nianzhi’s cheek again. “Hungry? Let’s go out for breakfast!” Although the house’s renovations were finished and daily necessities were also arranged, the fridge was empty except for some bottled water. Huo Shaoheng planned to take Gu Nianzhi shopping and buy groceries to make something for her.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to go out with Huo Shaoheng. She got up from his leg and frowned. “I need to go take a shower and then go back to school.” She was unbearably humiliated at the thought of the collapsed bed. At a time like this, she didn’t want to face anyone and only wanted to huddle up in her own little world…

Huo Shaoheng looked at her quietly for a while before nodding. “Okay, go shower and I’ll drive you back.” Gu Nianzhi was sweaty and uncomfortably sticky after playing around with Huo Sgaoheng all morning. She went to the bathroom to shower.

Huo Shaoheng fiddled with his phone in the bedroom for a while before calling Yin Shixiong. “We’re leaving right away. Remember to order another bed when you’re here to clean up. Just get the same one as before.”

Yin Shixiong had just come back from morning exercises and was eating breakfast. He wore his Bluetooth headset and nodded. “Okay, Chief.” Then he asked, “Is the bed for the guestroom?” That room was originally a guest room, but Huo Shaoheng had changed it into a study during renovations. There was no actual bed in there, only a futon that could be opened up and used as a bed.

“Bedroom.” Huo Shaoheng hung up.

Yin Shixiong was tongue-tied. Wasn’t there a bed in the bedroom? Why did he need to order another one? But Huo Shaoheng was the Chief and the Chief was the biggest authority, so whatever he says, goes. Yin Shixiong immediately ordered another bed to be delivered to the address in Heping Li.

Gu Nianzhi came out of the shower and changed into simple cashmere pants. She put her purse on and saw that Huo Shaoheng had already changed. He stood up straight in front of the French windows. With both hands in his trouser pockets, he looked at the scenery outside. She had no idea what he was thinking about. “I can go back by myself,” Gu Nianzhi said coolly. “It’s only a few steps and I can walk.”

“I’ll drive you.” Huo Shaoheng turned back to glance at her and walked over. They didn’t speak to each other again as they got in the elevator to go down to the parkade. Huo Shaoheng then drove Gu Nianzhi to the school.

Not long after they left, Yin Shixiong brought two orderlies over. When they got inside the house, Yin Shixiong directed the two orderlies to pack up Huo Shaoheng’s things from the study. He went to the bedroom and was a bit curious about why he needed to order another bed for the bedroom. Could Gu Nianzhi have forbidden the Chief from sleeping on her bed, so he must prepare another one? Nianzhi really had guts! Yin Shixiong secretly supported the fearless and brazen Gu Nianzhi. Opening the bedroom door, he slowly walked inside. As soon as he walked in, he saw that the bed had snapped in two.

Yin Shixiong instantly whistled as he imagined countless erotic scenes. “Hehe, their battle was too fierce. The Chief didn’t even take it easy…” The bed had a solid wood structure and was imported from overseas, so Yin Shixiong knew more than anyone just how sturdy it was. But such a sturdy bed had collapsed after one night with these two people… Yin Shixiong smiled wickedly as he imagined all this.

The two orderlies finished cleaning up the study. They came into the bedroom to ask Yin Shixiong for further instructions. They looked shocked and stunned when they saw the collapsed bed. Their eyebrows seemed to talk for them.

Yin Sixiong kicked them as he chuckled. “What are you imagining?!”

“…That’s amazing… It was the Chief?” The two orderlies’ eyebrows wiggled at the collapsed bed.

“Of course. It makes sense that he is the Chief and you are only an orderly.” Yin Shixiong rolled his eyes. “Hurry up and get rid of this collapsed bed. I already ordered a new bed and it’ll be delivered soon.”

“…Colonel Yin, can we ask the bed manufacturers to add some reinforcements?” one orderly suggested. “It won’t be good for the Chief if he’s constantly changing beds.”

“So what? He can get a new one every day if he wants!” Yin Shixiong flicked the forehead of the orderly giving the suggestion. “Won’t be good for him?! I’m telling you now, if this gets out, there’ll be no question as to who is responsible! When the time comes, I won’t go after anyone else. I’ll put you two in isolation! I’ll send you to military court!”

The two soldiers immediately deflated. “Colonel Yin, we certainly won’t say anything!”

“This is an order! We will never violate an order!”

“Good that you know that.” Yin Shixiong glared at them. “Fine, go clean it up and carry it down to the truck.”

The two orderlies began to tidy up quietly. Yin Shixiong helped them lift the bed frame. Although the bed had collapsed, it’s weight hadn’t changed at all. The mattress was fine, but the bed frame underneath had completely snapped into two. Yin Shixiong knelt down and studied the breakage for a long time. His final conclusion was that only the pressure of a jack could have crushed the bed to this extent!

Huo Shaoheng didn’t drive directly to B University. He parked in front of a congee shop and went inside to buy a breakfast set which he brought to Gu Nianzhi. “Eat this first, don’t go hungry.” Gu Nianzhi was actually a bit hungry but she wanted to refuse. However, her stomach rumbled as soon as she smelled the delicious food. Huo Shaoheng opened the congee box. “You want me to feed you?”

Gu Nianzhi was petrified and quickly grabbed it. She began eating immediately and asked Huo Shaoheng, “What about you? You don’t want to eat it?”

Huo Shaoheng shook his head. “I don’t have any appetite.”

Gu Nianzhi wanted to say something else but managed to hold back. She quietly took out a tiny beef bun from the breakfast box and passed it to Huo Shaoheng. “Eat one to fill your stomach.”

Huo Shaoheng opened his mouth to swallow the entire beef bun in her hand. The beef bun was small and exquisite, only a bit larger than a soup bun. Gu Nianzhi finished half a bowl of congee herself and ate two more beef buns with a cup of soy milk. The remaining half bowl of congee was taken by Huo Shaoheng to finish off. He also cleared up the rest of the dim sum. He then got out of the car to throw away the garbage before taking Gu Nianzhi back. It was about 10 A.M. when they arrived at Gu Nianzhi’s dorm.

Huo Shaoheng didn’t want to leave right away and made small talk by picking up their earlier topic. He continued to question Gu Nianzhi. “Nianzhi, think about it again. What was strange about Germany? Speaking of that, why did you go visit the Königssee by yourself? I never heard you mention liking to visit tourist attractions so much before?”

As a member of the new generation of internet children, Gu Nianzhi’s favorite hobby was staying home and going online. She had grown up with Huo Shaoheng, so Huo Shaoheng understood this very well. Speaking of that, Gu Nianzhi recalled what had happened. Turning around to stare at Huo Shaoheng, she said somewhat sheepishly, “Huo Shao, someone pretended to be you and sent me a box of Hermes silk scarves for my birthday. They were sent from Germany, so I thought you were in Germany and then… I went there for the lawsuit.”
