Hello, Mr. Major General

Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng quietly. Even though her heart was racing and her emotions were on the verge of breaking down, she tried her best to hold it in.

It couldn’t be helped. A person’s endurance and self-control had grown through training over and over again.

Gu Nianzhi was no exception.

The living room was very quiet and the lights were bright. But with the addition of the white paper lampshade, the light was made softer.

Huo Shaoheng’s back was facing the light, and his muscular body leaned forward, casting a huge shadow.

Although he did not press her down, she can feel his presence strongly.

They were very close, but didn’t sit together, still keeping a little distance between them.

They were almost together, and yet no one moved be closer.

Gu Nianzhi’s sharp and bright eyes gradually became gentle and hazy.

She slowly reached out her hand and started caressing the side of his face.

Her slender fingers caressed his temples and slowly moved down until they reached his lips.

Huo Shaoheng did not move. He lowered his head and allowed her fingers to caress his face gently.

Her hands were very soft, her fingertips delicate. It was indescribably comfortable to have her caress his face.

It was not until her fingers reached his lips that Huo Shaoheng turned and kissed them.

From the tip of her fingers down, he kissed her soft and boneless finger.

He did not kiss her hard. His lips only touched her fingers gently. When reaching the the roots of her fingers, he started to go up slowly and rub his nose against her finger.

Gu Nianzhi was both a voice and a face lover, but very few people knew that she was also a nose lover.

A straight and perfectly shaped nose was something she could never resist.

When Gu Nianzhi saw Huo Shaoheng behaving like this, she felt both angry and amused.

She withdrew her hand and wiped her fingers with a tissue from the coffee table. She lowered her eyes and said slowly, “Mr. Peter, you asked me if I have feelings for you. Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear the lie?”

Huo Shaoheng: “…”

He sat down next to Gu Nianzhi and rested his elbow on the sofa. He looked at Gu Nianzhi from the side and smiled. “What if I want to hear the Truth and the Lie?”

“Then I’ll tell you both.” Gu Nianzhi chuckled and started moving away from him until she was at the other end of the sofa and kept a safe distance from Huo Shaoheng.

She took a deep breath and looked at Huo Shaoheng. “Mr. Peter, if I am lying to you then of course have feelings.”

“What about the truth?” Huo Shaoheng smiled even wider.

“The truth is, I do have feelings.”

Although Huo Shaoheng was still smiling, and his expression did not change at all, deep down he was not so sure any more.

He tilted his head and quietly moved towards Gu Nianzhi and asked, “It doesn’t sound like there’s a difference between what the lie and truth you just told.”

They both meant one thing: she had feelings for him.

Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. “How could there not be a difference? There’s a big difference.”

She pressed her finger against the dimples by her lips and frowned. She thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Peter, to be honest with you, everything you’ve done has been my dream.”

“I used to hope that the person I loved would be like you, able to say nice things and always put me first in every situation. If there’s anything I need, come and help me immediately, not to let me shoulder it.”

Huo Shaoheng: “…”

He felt his uneasiness deepened.

What did she mean by “used to” ?

Could it be that everything he had done as Peter was not what Gu Nianzhi wanted?

“I was also regretful that he didn’t say those nice things and do things that I thought were necessary like other men.”

“So after you made up for all my regrets, how could I not feel anything?”

Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “So you admit that you have feelings for me? Then why do you keep rejecting me?”

Gu Nianzhi waved her hand. “Don’t worry, the feelings I’m talking about are not feelings between a man and a woman, but pure feelings of understanding and enlightenment.”

Huo Shaoheng: “… Enlightenment?”

“That’s right.” Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded at Huo Shaoheng. “Thank you, Mr. Peter, for helping me understand my heart and letting me know what I really want in a relationship and the person I truly love.”

Huo Shaoheng could only smile bitterly. “… What am I supposed to say? Should I say that ‘you’re welcome?’ — No, the Committee of State Security (KGB) never admits defeat.”

Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “You really shouldn’t waste your time on me.”

“What’s wrong with me?”Huo Shaoheng tried to pretend to be angry. “You said you have someone you love. Does this person really exist? If he’s in this world, why didn’t he come to you? Why did he make you go through so much by yourself?”

Gu Nianzhi almost stopped feigning her emotions. She quickly turned her head and averted her gaze so that Huo Shaoheng couldn’t see the real emotion in her eyes.

She looked at the other corner of the living room and tried not to laugh. “You don’t have to worry about where he is. As to whether or not he will come looking for me, that has nothing to do with you.”

This person was really addicted to acting, wasn’t he?

Who couldn’t put on an act?

Gu Nianzhi turned around and looking at him, she said in the most sincere tone, “Mr. Peter, thank you for everything you’ve done. I’m not a cold-hearted person. How could I not feel it?”

“But the more I feel, the more I understand that you’re not the person I love.”

“The person I love won’t say in public that he wants to pursue me, but he’ll quietly get rid of those who want to do me harm.”

“He won’t make those vows about forever love, but he’ll use every day to tell me that he’s right here with me.”

Gu Nianzhi was silent for a moment. She pressed her hand against her chest to suppress the surge of love that had nowhere to go.

She realized that she wasn’t putting on an act. Every word she said was from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and continued, “Everything you said, everything you did made me realize that you’re Peter and you’re not him. If he were like you, he wouldn’t be him.”

“Any man can be as sweet and attentive as you.”

“I used to think that it was a pity that he didn’t pursue me like any other man.”

“But now, what you’ve done has made me realize that there’s nothing to be sorry about. I didn’t even know that I didn’t care.”

“Mr. Peter, don’t laugh. relationship is like drinking water. You have to experience it before you know what you really want.”

“I thank you for letting me go through all this without hurting him. I also thank you for letting me see my true feeling.”

Gu Nianzhi nodded slightly at Huo Shaoheng to express her gratitude.

Huo Shaoheng was deeply shocked by Gu Nianzhi’s words.

Indeed, he did not care who Gu Nianzhi loved, whether it was Huo Shaoheng or this Peter.

It was him anyway. Why would he care?

However, no matter what he had done here, he was very clear-headed. It was Peter who had done these things, not Huo Shaoheng.

As the senior head of intelligence agents, the Great General’s habit was deeply rooted in his bones. He didn’t even realize that there was anything wrong with it.

It wasn’t until Gu Nianzhi sat there and told him softly and clearly that it wasn’t Huo Shaoheng who had done it, therefore, she wouldn’t take it…

Huo Shaoheng’s eyes were a little bitter. He held his breath as he looked at her. The love in his eyes couldn’t be suppressed any longer.

Gu Nianzhi placed her hands on her chest and thought back to the time they had spent together. She said sincerely, “Thank you for letting me understand that I love him so much.”

“I love everything about him, his strengths and weaknesses. I know the things that are better than others, and the things that are not as good as others.”

“I know that I am not the first in his heart, but I still love him. I love him as a whole, from inside out, his thoughts, his words and actions.”

“He’s unique. You’re not him.”

“I’d also like to thank you for not trying to imitate him.”

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t control himself at all. Before he even noticing it, he had already sat next to Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi was already sitting next to the armrest of the sofa; she had nowhere to retreat to.

She simply looked into Huo Shaoheng’s eyes and said word by word, “I wish it was him who was with me. Even if it’s just eating, walking, talking, and chatting together.”

“Say good night to each other when go to bed.”

“Wake up and smile at each other and say good morning.”

“This is the happiest and best life I can think of.”
