Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 888

Chapter 888: I Will Never Leave You

Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. She faced the door to the bathroom and could not understand what else there would be to talk about between Huo Shaoheng and herself.

She already knew that she still had feelings for Huo Shaoheng. How could she not?

She had, after all, loved him for so many years. However, this love for him was already different compared to how she had loved him in the past.

Before she had faced attempted murder in Germany, she loved him wholeheartedly and with passion. She would even die for him. However, she had never realized that such love would not last forever.

Therefore, when she was on the brink of death, when she was feeling extremely hopeless, the careless attitude that Huo Shaoheng had given her woke her up. Her love for him died there and then.

Feelings usually worked that way. They came all of a sudden and left all of a sudden.

Gu Nianzhi inhaled a deep breath and turned around, facing Huo Shaoheng. She could see very clearly. This man, Huo Shaoheng, was a totally different person compared to He Zhichu. He Zhichu looked cold and aloof on the outside. However, when you got to know him better, you would realize how passionate he was. He was a classic example of not looking like how he really was; a completely different person inside and out.

Huo Shaoheng, however, looked like he was easygoing and generous. He could talk to anyone and hold a conversation well. He would not be rude to ladies and would never embarrass them. However, only people who truly knew him would know that he was someone who was scarily determined. His coldness was something that had been etched within him, just like his silence.

Perhaps it was due to work habits that made him hide many things that he wanted to say deep in his heart, which he would never spill even upon his death. The senior officers in the army were willing to put Special Forces, such an important department, into the hands of a young Huo Shaoheng then, purely because of this reason.

Most likely, no one in this world would be able to enter his heart. Gu Nianzhi had thought that she could in the past, but after that, she felt that she could not, either. After chasing after him for a long time, she felt drained.

“Huo Shao, let us just let go. Three years from now, we will each have our own lives and be happy on our own. Wouldn’t that be better?” Gu Nianzhi pried his hand off her arm, finger by finger, looking calm and solemn, and almost emotionless.

Huo Shaoheng’s palm was hot—almost scalding. He let go of Gu Nianzhi’s arm but held her face gently. His hands were almost as hot as her face. So they were both nervous, weren’t they?

Gu Nianzhi realized that she was too lost in her thoughts. The smell on him was so nice. That uniform on him gave her an unmistakable sense of security as well. It was to the extent that she did not wish to retaliate.

Seeing that Gu Nianzhi did not try to push him away again, Huo Shaoheng lowered his head and rubbed his nose against her exquisite one. A hot and tense atmosphere surrounded and mesmerized her. She almost could not think rationally anymore, so much so that she did not realize Huo Shaoheng was moving his face closer to her lips.

He kissed her. Gently.

Her lips that had nothing but a thin layer of lip balm felt his lips, and he kissed them until they looked red and attractive. He was feeling so hot that he was about to lose control. He just wanted to devour her right there and then.

Her full lips were almost swollen by his kisses. He had to relax a little before Gu Nianzhi could catch her breath. Gu Nianzhi felt lightheaded after all his kisses. She only managed to snap back to her senses after a while. She held onto his hands that were holding her face and mumbled, “Didn’t you want to talk? This is the thing you wanted to talk about?”

Holding onto her face, Huo Shaoheng pulled her to him and kissed her with vigor. Then he let go of her and rested his chin on her head. His light panting sounded slightly hoarse, and it had an attractive base to it, attracting her heart and soul altogether. Hugging her to his chest and resting his face on her jet black hair, he remained silent, not knowing how to begin.

Huo Shaoheng knew that he was a cold person through and through. Perhaps, others could be deemed as heartless, but if he were to be compared to them, he had no heart to begin with.

Well, he had thought so.

All along, he could be friends with ladies. He could also be colleagues, comrades, or many other things, but they would never cross that boundary to become anything more.

If he had allowed his life to progress as per normal, he would most likely give his entire life to his country and army.

No one could go near his heart, much less enter it.

He did not have a rebellious stage growing up and had felt that romantic relationships were meaningless and a waste of time…

Until Gu Nianzhi fell from nowhere and entered his life.

Before he knew it, she became the only one who walked into his heart. He knew that he would never let go of her in this lifetime.

Huo Shaoheng repeated Gu Nianzhi’s words softly, with his deep, sexy voice in her ear, “…each have our own lives and be happy on our own? Did you think you were acting in some play?”

Gu Nianzhi was slightly annoyed. “Can you talk properly now?! Do not mock me!”

“I’m not mocking you.” Huo Shaoheng took the clothes that Gu Nianzhi was holding in her hands and threw them onto the bed. He brought her to the bed and sat down.

Gu Nianzhi felt paranoid and did not wish to sit on the same bed as Huo Shaoheng. Pushing his hand away, she walked to the single seat sofa beside the bed and sat down.

Huo Shaoheng did not insist she sit right beside him. He only took a look at her and said seriously, “I shall just be honest today. I cannot bear to leave you. You cannot bear to leave me, either.”

Although he had hurt her heart, and she had been throwing a tantrum that she wanted a breakup, how could two people who were still in love with each other not know what the other party was thinking?

Gu Nianzhi did not expect that she would have the opportunity to hear Huo Shaoheng say something like, “I can never leave you” in this lifetime. Her cold heart skipped a beat and warmed up like crazy. She felt like a hot air balloon that had just been filled with loads of hot air, and she was already almost floating. She could almost see the fireworks in the dark skyline, and they were so grand that even a sky full of stars could not be as beautiful.

However, before she had enough of imagination, she heard the next sentence from him: “You cannot bear to leave me as well.” The moment she heard that, she fell back to earth from the clouds and almost rolled her eyes.

“Ha…” Gu Nianzhi chuckled coldly while looking at Huo Shaoheng but did not say anything.

Huo Shaoheng stopped after he got his point across. When it came to relationships, it would not mean much the moment you said too much. He still preferred to show his feelings through actions, not words.

Standing up, Huo Shaoheng walked to Gu Nianzhi and bent down, supporting his arms on the armrests of the single seat sofa. His tall physique covered Gu Nianzhi entirely.

“What was that laugh for? You do not believe me?” Huo Shaoheng pushed his hands into the cushion of the sofa and picked Gu Nianzhi up.

Huo Shaoheng carried Gu Nianzhi into the air just like that, and her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck. “Let go of me!” Gu Nianzhi whispered fiercely into his ear.

Huo Shaoheng laughed. “You are hugging me. How can I let go of you like that?”

Gu Nianzhi looked at her arms and let go in shock. She got off of him and pushed him away. She did not expect that it already was the bed behind him. Huo Shaoheng fell backwards but pulled Gu Nianzhi along. She had not been expecting that and fell onto the bed with him.

The big bed seemed to not have taken so much weight in a long time. Huo Shaoheng smiled, looked at Gu Nianzhi, and said slowly, “…Such passion. What do you want tonight?”

Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

Almost immediately after, his warm lips met hers. Just like the other time, he was gentle and considerate while kissing her, allowing her to feel that she was being treasured and protected, never to be given up on…

Her hands that were initially pushing him away loosened up and grabbed onto his collar tightly. Knowing that she liked being treated gently like this, Huo Shaoheng drew upon all the patience he had, just for her.

…

However, when it was the most important time, Huo Shaoheng stopped and panted heavily, remaining silent.

Gu Nianzhi was almost at her peak, but since everything stopped all of a sudden, Gu Nianzhi was left hanging. She glared fiercely at him and rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

Huo Shaoheng laughed bitterly. He had not intended to do anything today, initially. However, he did not know why, but he just could not control himself when he was alone with her.

Huo Shaoheng got up, straightened his clothes, and left Gu Nianzhi’s room. However, he returned about a minute later. He had already changed into civilians’ clothing and had something in his hand. He pushed the door to Gu Nianzhi’s bathroom open.

Gu Nianzhi was not soaking in the tub but was in the shower instead. The moment Huo Shaoheng entered, she got a shock. “…Did… Did…Didn’t I lock the door?” Gu Nianzhi stammered.

“Fingerprint lock,” Huo Shaoheng replied simply and pulled her out of the shower.

Gu Nianzhi was dripping wet, and the water droplets on her body made her skin look even more attractive.

If Huo Shaoheng held onto her slightly tighter, he would leave hand marks on her. Her skin looked like it could break at any moment, but Huo Shaoheng wanted to break it…

He kissed her again.

His breathing was hot, and in his deep, sexy voice he asked Gu Nianzhi, “…Give it to me? Okay?”

Gu Nianzhi shivered and relaxed. She could not control herself any longer. She allowed herself to be immersed in his gentle kisses.

After being together again, Huo Shaoheng was so excited that he almost lost himself. “…Did you miss me?”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless.

“I will take it that you missed me if you keep quiet.”

“…Nonsense!” Gu Nianzhi was dizzy but still remembered that she had to retort.

“But I do miss you.”

Gu Nianzhi could not speak anymore. If he had said this without any other intentions other than his heart, Gu Nianzhi felt that she would still be slightly touched. However, he was too passionate—so passionate that his kisses stopped her from talking altogether…

Fine, we shall do this the entire night like there’s no tomorrow… I love you, but I am afraid to be with you. If I do not have hope, then I will not be disappointed anymore. I just can’t take disappointments anymore…

Eventually, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t remember how she was feeling, because she was so out of breath that she blacked out from fatigue.

…

The next morning, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Shaoheng smiling gently at her. In the morning rays of sunlight, his handsome face was even more attractive, and one would not be able to help but be attracted. However, Gu Nianzhi felt that she had already become immune to it. Sitting up, she nodded towards Huo Shaoheng. “Morning.”

Huo Shaoheng hugged her by the waist naturally. “Are you okay already?”

Gu Nianzhi put on her clothes peacefully. “Why would I not be? Let’s not lump everything up.”

Huo Shaoheng was speechless.

Gu Nianzhi looked back at Huo Shaoheng, who was looking stern, and laughed. “Major General Huo, we are adults. What is wrong if we sleep together just because both of us have needs? Please don’t tell me that you want me to be responsible.”
