1271 Inseparable

The rising sun on Lake Baikal shone on the land and casted a golden light on the two people embracing each other by the lake.

Gu Nianzhi had no other thoughts at the moment. She only wanted to be immersed in Huo Shaoheng’s embrace and never wake up…

The gentle kiss felt like the best time in their lives.

The sun gradually rose above their heads. Huo Shaoheng finally pulled away from their long kiss. The last kiss landed on her forehead.

Gu Nianzhi buried herself in his arms and asked reluctantly, ” … Are you going back?”

“How long do you want to stay here? ” Huo Shaoheng chuckled. “You haven’t had breakfast yet. Aren’t you hungry?”

Gu Nianzhi’s stomach growled just in time. She couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere else to watch the sunrise. It’s even more beautiful than here.” Huo Shaoheng held her hand and took the reluctant Gu Nianzhi back to the jeep.

He looked at his watch. It was only 5:30 in the morning.

It was probably the longest day of the year in this area, so the sun rose early.

If it was winter, the sun would only rise at around 8:00 in the morning here.

Gu Nianzhi fell into a deep slumber as soon as she got back into the car.

She had been exhausted from last night until early dawn. She was both excited and exhausted in the morning, and had exhausted all her energy so she immediately had enough sleep to make up for it.

..

The jeep quietly parked in the parking lot of the Tunguska resort.

Huo Shaoheng carried the sleeping Gu Nianzhi out of the jeep and all the way to the tent before putting her down.

She, whose stomach had been growling with hunger moments before, was unable to resist the magic of sleep.

Huo Shaoheng came out of the tent and covered the tent. When he got up, he saw Vladimir leaning against a big tree not far from the tent, and smiling at him as he said, “Shouldn’t you return my car keys to me now? I didn’t expect Major General Huo to be so romantic. You’re really adept at chasing women!”

Huo Shaoheng smiled and threw the jeep’s car keys over. He said, “It’s my duty towards my wife.”

How could he say that he was using romance to chase a woman?

He made him sound like a playboy.

Vladimir reached out to take the car keys. He seemed jealous and envious. “Major General Huo is so lucky. We aren’t lucky enough to meet such a good girl like Cereus.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the middle-aged driver, who had rushed over to ask for the car keys, blurted out, “Boss, do you know how sad Lina will feel if she hears your words? ”

Vladimir froze for a moment. When he saw Lina walking behind the middle-aged driver with her head lowered, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. He scolded the middle-aged driver, “Why did you come here instead of going to work?! You borrowed a car from the police station without permission. Do you think I won’t hit you?!”

With his hands on his head, the middle-aged driver hid behind Lina and shouted, “Haven’t you hit me enough? ! How dare you say such words. Don’t you have a conscience?”

“I think you’re rebelling! You’re rebelling! I’m going back! ” Vladimir rolled up his sleeves and pounced on him.

Huo Shaoheng shook his head and said calmly, “Cereus is still sleeping. Can’t you guys go fight somewhere else? If you wake her up, I won’t stop her from venting her rage on you guys.”

Avoiding her gaze and not daring to look at her, Vladimir rushed in front of Lina. He only glared at the chauffeur, who was hiding behind Lina, and said fiercely, “Just you wait! ” Then he left without looking back.

While covering his head, the middle-aged driver jumped out and asked Huo Shaoheng, “Where are my car keys?”

Huo Shaoheng raised his chin at Vladimir’s receding figure. “Your boss took them away.”

“Huh? ! How cunning! He didn’t even tell me!” The middle-aged driver angrily turned around to chase after Vladimir, and the two of them bickered as they left.

Only Lina and Huo Shaoheng were left in front of the tent.

Lina looked up at Huo Shaoheng. She still had that same lifeless poker face, and there was no expression on her face.

She spoke in Standard Oxford English, “Lieutenant General Vladimir asked me to protect scientist Song.”

Huo Shaoheng was very gentle, and he said politely, “Then thank you for your trouble, Major Lina.”

Lina nodded. “Of course, it’s my duty.” As she spoke, she also turned around and left.

Huo Shaoheng walked around the tent area alone. There were about 20 tents of various sizes. On the left were scientists from the Huaxia Empire, and on the right were scientists from Russia.

Of course, they had rooms at the resort, but they were closer to the place where they were going to investigate. Some tests had to be done in the middle of the night, so they set up tents and slept in them when they were tired.

It was still early, but the tent area was almost empty.

..

Gu Nianzhi slept until 10 am.

She opened her eyes and stared at the tent roof in front of her for a moment.

She had a momentary illusion that following Huo Shaoheng to Lake Baikal to watch the sunrise in the early morning was just a dream.

She hadn’t actually gone anywhere; she had been sleeping here the whole time.

She stretched and sat up from her sleeping bag. She looked at the clothes scattered around her and thought about the “signature” from last night. Gu Nianzhi quickly covered her face with her hand.

Oh my oh my!

Huo Shaoheng opened the tent and said with a smile, “Isn’t it time to get up? It’s already ten o’clock.”

With her face still covered, Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I’ll get up right away. You can go out first.”

Huo Shaoheng covered the tent and put away the tablet in his hands.

Huo Shaoheng had been busy for the past few hours waiting for Gu Nianzhi to wake up. He had used the tablet to deal with many things.

The most important matter was that Yin Shixiong had sent him a message saying that Zhao Liangze had returned to work. However, he didn’t stay in the imperial capital. Instead, he returned to the small island in the Cape of Good Hope to continue working.

Huo Shaoheng had been mulling over this for the entire morning. In the end, he only sent Zhao Liangze a message saying, “I’m sorry for your loss”.

Zhao Liangze replied: “Don’t worry”.

After all, they were his soldiers. He hadn’t been disappointed.

With an ambivalent expression on his face, Huo Shaoheng sighed.

Gu Nianzhi put on her clothes and tidied up the tent before opening the curtains and coming out.

Breathing in the fresh air outside, she felt a little hot.

“This coat won’t hold.” Gu Nianzhi complained. “I need to change.”

“Let’s go eat something first. If we don’t eat soon, we’ll starve.” Huo Shaoheng held her hand as they went to the resort’s restaurant for brunch.

It would take more than an hour to walk from the tent area to the resort. It would take more than half an hour if they walked fast.

Of course, it would only take about 10 minutes to get to the car.

They arrived at the parking lot and saw the middle-aged driver playing video games on his phone.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but laugh. She walked over and patted him on the shoulder. “Uncle Ivan, thank you for the car.”

The middle-aged driver turned his head and smiled at her. He blinked. “Thank you for the big red packet!”

When he saw the big red packet of 1888.88 in the morning, he instantly felt invigorated.

Of course Vladimir had been sighing since he woke up.

Huo Shaoheng ignored the red packet interaction between the two of them. He patted the driver on the other shoulder and said, “Cereus hasn’t eaten yet. Send us to the restaurant.”

“Okay! ” The driver put away his phone and opened the car door for them to get into the car.

When the few of them got into the car, Vladimir jumped out of nowhere and briskly got into the car. He smiled and said, “That’s great! Send me to the giant pit quickly! I heard that the scientists have made a new discovery!”

The middle-aged driver: ” … ”

No way?

His boss was really going all out to stop Cereus from eating!

Just as he was about to mock him, Huo Shaoheng’s phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Song Jinning calling.

As soon as the call was connected, Song Jinning’s excited voice came from the phone. “Shaoheng! You must come and see this! You can bring Nianzhi too! This is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle!”
