Chen Lie chuckled and cocked his head. "Who is he? He is who? Nianzhi, you keep saying 'him,' and I'm getting confused."
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at Chen Lie. "Brother Chen, you can stay confused, then. I'm not responsible for convincing you or relieving confusion." She walked out of his office and went to the bathroom to wash up and change out of the hospital gown. She put on the laundered, hooded cowl neck, loose fitting sweatshirt, yoga pants, and white Ralph Lauren flats. Looking fresh and clean, she walked out of the bathroom and packed all her things into a large cloth bag to carry to the door.
In the hallway outside the door, Huo Shaoheng's strapping back nearly blocked out all the sunlight shining in from the window. Gu Nianzhi looked down and wanted very badly to sneak quietly past him, but Huo Shaoheng turned around when he heard the door and saw the fresh looking Gu Nianzhi staring down at the ground. He called out to her, "Nianzhi, where are you going?"
