Chapter 54 Warning Eyes
After dinner, the doorbell rang.
"Hey, it's only one o'clock? So early!" He Jing happily rushed to open the door before Xu Bo.
"Wen Qing... um, hello, who are you looking for?" He Jing looked at the strange girl who suddenly appeared outside the door, a little confused.
"I'm looking for General Gu. I'm his deputy." The other party looked righteous and expressionless as he looked at He Jing.
Gu Zheng came over and asked, "What's the matter?"
The girl's eyes lit up slightly, "I have something to report!"
"Go to the study." After saying that, Gu Zheng patted the little cat's head and said softly, "Take a nap. I'll call you when it's almost time."
He Jing nodded obediently and watched them go upstairs.
The female assistant passed by her and suddenly turned her head to look at her.
There was a warning in his eyes.
He Jing was stunned, wondering if he had seen it wrong, but the other party had already withdrawn his gaze and walked away without looking back.
Uncle Xu appeared without anyone noticing. "Miss, I've cut some fruit for you later. Can you help Uncle Xu deliver it to them?"
"Me?" He Jing hesitated, thinking of the unreal look he had just seen. "That's not a good idea. Will it disturb them?"
"How could that be! This is our way of entertaining guests."
"All right."
"Ms. Si and Xiao Yang are both the young master's assistants, but there's a difference between men and women. Miss Si doesn't come here often, so it's usually Xiao Yang who comes to report. This time might be a special case..."
He Jing followed Xu Bo to the kitchen, watched him cut the fruit, and then went upstairs with the plate.
The corridor was very quiet, and He Jing knocked on the door gently several times.
The door opened and Gu Zheng appeared behind the door. His frosty eyes softened when he saw He Jingrou.
"Uncle Xu asked me to bring you some fruit~"
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Zheng chuckled softly, his tone gentle, "Come in, I'll introduce you to each other."
"Isn't that a bit too much? Don't you have something important to do?"
"It won't take a little longer." Gu Zheng said as he took the fruit plate and brought the person in.
He Jing looked at the woman standing in front of the sofa and looking at her coldly, and confirmed that the previous look was not an illusion.
Gu Zheng asked He Jing to sit on the sofa and introduced her calmly, "This is Si Lan, my assistant, on the same level as Yang Ziang. Yang Ziang is sent out, so she is here to report."
The fruit plate landed on the table with a clatter, and Gu Zheng looked up at her.
"This is He Jing. From now on, her words will be as important as mine."
Si Lan's heart trembled, and she pursed her lips, "Hello, Miss He, I'm sorry to bother you with your sudden visit."
"It's okay, you guys chat, I'm going to rest."
He Jing felt something was wrong and quickly slipped away.
When He Jing returned to the room, he felt confused and couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned.
Forget it, I’m not going to sleep.
He Jing got up, opened the cloakroom and started picking out clothes.
The clothes in the wardrobe are of various styles: cute, mature, casual, intellectual, youthful...
The sizes are also suitable.
Even if she changes her outfit every day, she can wear a different outfit for two months.
He Jing rummaged through the clothes for a long time and chose a casual shirt and jeans.
The loose-fitting sky-blue jeans made her legs look long and straight. She wore a light pink casual shirt, and her hair was braided on the side and draped over her shoulder, with a butterfly hairpin at the end, which made her look very gentle.
He Jing looked at himself in the mirror, and Si Lan's image suddenly appeared in his mind.
Wearing a dark green sportswear and shoulder-length hair, he looks neat and capable.
Looking at myself again, I am at two completely different extremes.
She shook her head quickly to get rid of this inexplicable contrast from her mind.
After packing up, I went downstairs carrying the tablet.
Uncle Xu was preparing afternoon snacks. Seeing that it was still early, He Jing ran to the sunny greenhouse upstairs.
The warm sun shines in, and I nestle comfortably in the recliner to watch today's lessons.
I don’t know if it’s because the course is taught well or she is just gifted at languages, but now she can understand most of the texts in daily life.
You can also turn off the language converter and communicate with Gu Zheng in daily life. His pronunciation is very standard, but his handwriting is not quite right.
After looking at it once, Gu Zheng got the calligraphy copybook from somewhere. Now, in addition to her classes, she has to practice calligraphy for an hour every day.
He Jing quickly immersed herself in the course, when suddenly a cold and hard voice exploded behind her, startling her.
"This is Aunt Shen's greenhouse, you shouldn't mess around."
"Ah?" He Jing held his heart and looked blankly at Si Lan who suddenly appeared.
Si Lan frowned fiercely, looking down on her pretentious appearance. "The captain is just kind-hearted and took you in out of pity, but don't take advantage of his kindness to cause trouble."
"What?" He Jing quickly understood her intention. "I don't think Gu Zheng wants you to say these things to me."
"Are you threatening me? As expected, you are just pretending to be innocent and harmless in front of the captain, right?" Si Lan said, his eyes glancing at the shelf beside him.
"Why is there one less flower pot here?"
He Jing looked at the gladiolus stand and said, "It's been moved to my room."
"How can you touch other people's things casually?!" Si Lan said in an aggressive tone.
He Jing blinked, "It can't be considered someone else's, right?"
"The flowers here were planted by Aunt Shen and I!"
Si Lan was even more furious when he thought about the guardianship. "If you still have a conscience, you should really thank the captain for taking care of you at the training ground and leave on your own when you return to the Central Star."
"Why?"
"You appeared in a military stronghold with an unknown identity, and you have a 3s mental power. Many people are staring at the Gu family and you."
"Without the Captain's guarantee, you would be under investigation in the interstellar prison right now."
"If you return to the Central Star, you will bring him endless trouble!"
…
Gu Zheng came up with a plate of cut fruit. The kitten in the greenhouse looked dazed. The sunlight shone on her body, giving her profile a gentle golden edge.
"Won't you relax today?"
"Well...actually I'm very relaxed every day (￣︶￣)" He Jing came back to his senses, and the dazzling sunlight was blocked by the tall figure.
Gu Zheng chuckled and placed the fruit plate next to He Jing. "Do you like it here?"
"like!"
"There's also a sunroom at Central Star's house. It's bigger than this one, and you can grow your favorite flowers there."
"Auntie really likes flowers!"
“Well, she said flowers are her source of inspiration, and her jewelry is all developed from flowers.”
“Very romantic.”
Gu Zheng nodded and changed his home clothes into casual clothes, which were casual and refreshing, and he looked a few years younger.
Standing among the flowers, he looks like a young man!
He Jing admired it for a while and said seriously, "Very handsome!"
Gu Zheng heard what he wanted to hear, but felt embarrassed by the other party's serious look.
He turned his head and looked to the side. "Were you just daydreaming? What were you thinking about?"
"Should I put that orchid back?"
"Why?"
"Well... I'm afraid I can't take good care of him." He Jing hesitated for a long time and blurted out an irrelevant reason.
"No, Uncle Xu will help take care of it."
He Jing withdrew his gaze and nodded silently.
