He Zhichu merely grunted when he heard this to show he understood. Gu Nianzhi was still not reassured on her end and wanted to remind He Zhichu, but she was worried about hurting his self-esteem. After mulling it over again and again, she finally said, "Professor He, please be careful. I think that Gu Yanran has a strange intention behind this action."
"What intention? Tell me directly." He Zhichu noticed Gu Nianzhi was speaking very carefully around him, but his face remained expressionless as he looked down to inhale deeply from the cigarette smoke that enveloped him. Ye Xuan studied He Zhichu and noticed that there was an indescribable gentleness on the planes of his face while speaking with Gu Nianzhi. Although he appeared expressionless, his aura was different.
