Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1405

Chapter 1405: Was it really prepared for her? (second update)

After Chen Lie left, Gu Nianzhi sat alone on the bed, half-wrapped in the blanket, and lowered her head in deep thought.

Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and walked in.

The headboard of the bed sank slightly.

Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw that it was Huo Shaoheng who had sat down.

Huo Shaoheng reached out and caressed her cheek, “… You’ve lost weight.”

Her face wasn’t big to begin with, and now it was even smaller. Her already large eyes seemed even bigger than before.

Her butterfly-like eyelashes were thick and long and naturally curled upward at the ends, making them look like eyeliner.

Her black eyes were sparkling, and as they moved, they attracted people’s attention.

Huo Shaoheng seemed to have been bewitched and leaned in to kiss her.

First, his lips were lightly pressed against hers. Then, he tossed and turned her lips. He kissed her up and down, inside and out, before letting go of her.

Gu Nianzhi looked at him tenderly. Her eyes were filled with love, endless love.

Huo Shaoheng could not resist Gu Nianzhi’s loving gaze.

He had never felt her feelings for him like this.

He pulled her into his arms and pressed her head against his chest, letting her feel his heartbeat faster than usual.

He asked in a low voice,”… What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Gu Nianzhi wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into his arms. She thought for a moment and said softly, “I’m not feeling unwell. I’ve just been having a recurring dream and I’m tired.”

She could still see the color of the bluish-purple seawater. Everything seemed to be covered in a layer of gentle blue light.

Huo Shaoheng rubbed his cheek against her hair and asked, “What dream?”

What’s more, it was a recurring dream…

Gu Nianzhi repeated, “It’s the seawater. The bluish-purple seawater is just like the seawater I saw in the Blue Hole in the Caribbean.”

Huo Shaoheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. So it was just a dream about the seawater in the Blue Hole.

It seemed that what Chen Lie said just now was not without reason.

He lifted her up along with the blanket and placed her on his lap, saying, “Your emotions are fluctuating too much. It’s unavoidable…”

“No.” Gu Nianzhi suddenly wanted to tell Huo Shaoheng how she felt, regardless of whether he understood it or not.

“It’s not like that.” Gu Nianzhi moved back a little and looked up at Huo Shaoheng. “What’s strange is my perspective in the dream. Sometimes, it feels like I’m in the water, but sometimes, I feel like I’m a bystander, watching the water…”

Huo Shaoheng frowned almost imperceptibly. “Different perspectives? That’s not really weird, right? We often dream in different perspectives.”

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and replied lazily, “Maybe.”

She yawned. “I’m sleepy. I’ll sleep again and see if there’s any difference.”

Huo Shaoheng placed her on the bed and said, “Aren’t you hungry? You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.”

“I don’t have an appetite.” Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes. “Give me a glass of water.”

Huo Shaoheng went out for a while and brought her a glass of milk that he warmed.

Gu Nianzhi drank the milk in Huo Shaoheng’s hand and lay down to sleep again.

This time, she slept until eight in the evening.

When she woke up again, she realized that she hadn’t had a single dream this time.

The blue and purple seawater in the morning dream was like a distant illusion, getting further and further away from her.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom to shower, washed her hair, and changed into a new set of clothes.

Huo Shaoheng came in to see her. He found that she was already awake and had gone to the bathroom to take a shower. He immediately went out to order a table full of food and waited for her to come out.

Gu Nianzhi came to the living room and saw the seafood on the long table. She couldn’t help but smile.

There was a bowl of steaming seafood noodles. There were shrimp, abalone, small squid rings that imparted a fresh taste, and small green vegetables to add color.

There were also stir-fried mantis shrimp, crab roe vermicelli, and thick sea cucumber soup.

She was full after just eating the seafood noodles. Huo Shaoheng forced her to drink another small bowl of thick sea cucumber soup. He only put her down after she ate a small sea cucumber.

The rest of the dishes were eaten by Huo Shaoheng alone, along with a large bowl of fragrant white rice.

After eating, Huo Shaoheng took her to the submarine again.

This time, Gu Nianzhi did not feel dizzy.

However, when she followed Huo Shaoheng into the cabin where she had last seen Gu Xiangwen’s hologram, she could not help feeling dejected.

Huo Shaoheng held her hand and stood in front of the sofa around the corner. He said, “Little Ze has taken down the computer system here and sent it back to the imperial capital. You can look at it whenever you want…”

Gu Nianzhi nodded and said softly, “Thank you.”

She could give everything else up, but she couldn’t give up on this holographic virtual human-computer system that her father had left behind.

“Why are you thanking me?” Huo Shaoheng pinched her chin. “Go look at the music box on the desk.”

Gu Nianzhi had already noticed the cylindrical object on the desk.

She remembered that Gu Xiangwen’s hologram had said that the cylindrical object was a music box. He had also said that his greatest research results were in the music box. He had also said that the music box had a self-destruct mechanism and that those who did not meet the requirements did not have to bother trying to open it.

Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng to the desk. She reached out and picked up the cylindrical object.

She had thought it was quite heavy, but she realized it wasn’t as heavy as she had imagined when it was in her hands.

She held the music box and looked it up and down, then pressed a round button on the top of the music box.

Huo Shaoheng stood at the side and looked at her quietly.

They had studied the button on the music box, and it should be a fingerprint password lock.

Their fingerprints didn’t work, so Gu Nianzhi’s should work, right?

Just as she was thinking about it, the lid of the music box opened with a click.

Gu Nianzhi said, “…”

It really was a fingerprint lock.

Once the lid of the music box was opened, three beautiful ballerina dolls began to spin and dance on a pink crown.

At the same time, beautiful music flowed out. It was Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”.

Then a gentle baritone slowly read, “A little Girl Needs Daddy.”

“A little girl needs Daddy,

For many, many things:

..

Like giving her the love,

That is her sea and air,

So diving deep or soaring high,

She’ll always find him there…”

It was the voice of the holographic figurine, which was also the voice of her father, Gu Xiangwen.

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and looked up at the ceiling before she swallowed the tears that had almost flowed out.

This was the poem that she had seen on the wall of the Dasi Clinic in India…

This was the clue that her father had left behind, right?

Were they worried that one day they would really disappear, so they had left behind these clues so that Gu Nianzhi, could look for them when she had grown up?

Gu Nianzhi held the music box in her hands and looked at it for a long time.

When the poem was finished, the three ballerina dolls sank down. The pink crown spun once and split open in the middle, revealing a tray.

On it was written a high-energy physics question that required the calculation of the energy of a magnetic field.

Gu Nianzhi said, “…”

Was this thing really prepared for her?

Didn’t her father know that she wasn’t a genius in physics?!

Gu Nianzhi’s face fell.

Huo Shaoheng pinched her little face and smiled faintly. “What’s with that expression? Even if you don’t know how to solve this question, but Ms. Song does…”

Gu Nianzhi thought about it and felt a little guilty. “… Is that cheating?”

Huo Shaoheng seemed to know what she was thinking. He gently held her from behind and said,”… Your father is indeed a genius, but did he predict that you would lose your memory?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said indifferently, “My father isn’t a god, how could he have predicted everything clearly? Besides, even if he could, he didn’t manage to escape from the hands of those people…”

She turned around and waved her fist at Huo Shaoheng. “If I find out who betrayed my father, I won’t let him off!”

Huo Shaoheng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “… I’ve already avenged your father.”

Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of the “Pirate base” that Huo Shaoheng had destroyed on this mission and couldn’t help but be surprised and delighted. “Really? Is it that… that base that was scolded by the Japanese cabinet and military on Twitter?”

Huo Shaoheng lowered his eyes slightly. “Yes, they like to use pirates. I can’t tell whether they’re real pirates or fake pirates.”

Gu Nianzhi was touched as she held his hand and snorted. “The Japanese were born as pirates in their early years. The Japanese pirates harassed our coastal areas for hundreds of years and accumulated a wealth of pirating experience.”

“To be honest, Somali pirates are nothing. They can’t even begin to compare to the long-standing pirating history of the Japanese.”

Huo Shaoheng saw that she was in the mood to mock and knew that she was in a much better mood. He patted her head. “Everything else here has been taken away. If you are agreeable, then this submarine will be left here for them to study. If you don’t agree…”

Gu Nianzhi interrupted him and said with a half-smile, “I’ve even donated the money recovered from the foundation to Ms. Song for her research. Why are you acting like a stranger to me?”

“You can’t say that. They are your inheritance from your father. Of course, you have the final say.”

Huo Shaoheng brought her out of the submarine and went to the military port to complete the handover procedures. Only then did Gu Xiangwen’s advanced “cement submarine” become the precious treasure of the naval equipment experts.

…

Gu Nianzhi carried the black music box and boarded the plane with Huo Shaoheng and the others back to the imperial capital.

Xiao Ye, Chen Lie, and Song Jinning boarded Huo Shaoheng’s private plane with them.

Yin Shixiong took Gu Nianzhi’s parents’ coffins and boarded a large transport plane instead.

On the plane, Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to pass the high-energy physics question she had seen in the music box to Song Jinning.

Song Jinning was mesmerized by the question. She immediately opened her laptop and began to perform some calculations. She lamented, “This question is too coincidental… I’ve hit a bottleneck studying a high-energy magnetic field recently. This question is really enlightening!”

Gu Nianzhi said, “…”
