He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi with undisguised admiration in his shimmering, sultry eyes. "Very astute. You never fail to live up to my expectations."
Gu Nianzhi: "…Professor He, you haven't answered my question."

Gu Nianzhi frowned slightly. She shot He Zhichu a skeptical look. "Is that so? That must have been quite the coincidence."
He Zhichu "just so happened" to bail Dou Qingyan out when she was in trouble? And Dou Qingyan "just so happened" to be Huo Shaoheng's former comrade-in-arms?
