Gu Nianzhi had mesmerizing eyes and dark pupils that practically took up her entire face; those same eyes were now directing an incredibly alluring gaze at him . Huo Shaoheng was about to get up, but Gu Nianzhi suddenly hugged his neck . This position forced him to keep balance while straddling over her upper half . He was silent and quietly watched her . Gu Nianzhi was drifting in and out of consciousness, but she still remembered what she had to do .
"Huo… Huo Shao…" She finally spoke, her soft voice had a trace of drunkenness that sounded especially intoxicating .
"Yeah?" Huo Shaoheng replied as he supported himself, with his hands on either side her head . His dark jade-like eyes stared at her so intensely she could see her own reflection in them .
"Huo Shao…" Gu Nianzhi called again, her eyes blurred, "You…you… I . . . I want to ask you something . "
"What is it?"
Gu Nianzhi's tongue felt parched and couldn't help licking her lips as she muttered, "Do . . . do you have a girlfriend?" She finally asked the crucial question . Compared to all the seduction methods Little Temptress was telling her, Gu Nianzhi thought that this was more important . She had to figure out whether or not Huo Shaoheng had a girlfriend before she decided what she would do .
Huo Shaoheng froze . "Girlfriend?" He frowned deeply . "Why are you asking that?" Hadn't he told Big Xiong a long time ago that he didn't have a girlfriend? Had he not told her? His expression was getting increasingly serious .
Gu Nianzhi didn't know what Huo Shaoheng was thinking and quickly clung onto his neck, terrified he might leave her . "I . . . I just wanted to know . "

"So what if you knew?" Huo Shaoheng's eyes grew darker, as though they were hiding secrets Gu Nianzhi wouldn't understand . She reached a hand out to gently caress around Huo Shaoheng's eyes, her face open and worried . "Then you say it first: do you have one or not?"
"So what if I have one? And so what if I don't?"
"You're so annoying! Just tell me straight! This is not a multiple choice question!" Gu Nianzhi pouted . She was speaking in a flirty way and acting much bolder than usual . Huo Shaoheng laughed when he realized alcohol was truly liquid courage—Gu Nianzhi would never touch his face when she was sober, let alone talk back at him . She was always extremely obedient in front of him .
"Mmm, no . " Huo Shaoheng humored her and gripped the hands that were wandering on his face, pressing them back onto the pillow .
Gu Nianzhi giggled, her eyes sparkling as though a starlit sky was reflecting in them . "No? That's great . "
"Great how?" Huo Shaoheng pressed down a little to gradually move close to Gu Nianzhi on the bed .
Gu Nianzhi concentrated on staring at Huo Shaoheng's despairingly handsome face and sighed with satisfaction . "Of course it's great that you don't . Now I'll ask, have you ever liked anyone?"
Huo Shaoheng was speechless .

"Tell me… do you like anyone?" Gu Nianzhi was still cradling Huo Shaoheng's head and gave it a shake .
It was rare that Huo Shaoheng saw Gu Nianzhi be so affectionate . She hadn't acted this way since she turned 15 and couldn't bear letting go . He sank his body lower and held Gu Nianzhi to flip them both over so that he was sitting on the bed . Now Gu Nianzhi was lying on his body and his characteristically deadpan face broke into a small smile; the magnetism in his voice was enough to tug at her heart . "Are we talking about people we like? Ok, you go first . "
Gu Nianzhi's mind refused to work for a moment . "I go first? Talk about what?"
"The person you like . Didn't you say we're going to talk about that?" Huo Shaoheng smiled at Gu Nianzhi .
Gu Nianzhi supported herself on her arms and looked up, her delicate eyebrows scrunched up . "I have to talk about the person I like? That's not right . Wasn't I asking you about the person you like?" She poked at Huo Shaoheng's chest . "Don't change the subject, Tell me . . . tell me about the person you like . "
"You say it first . "
"But you don't even care about the person I like! Why do I have to go first?"
It was obvious that Gu Nianzhi had a tight lip even when she was drunk; she refused to say anything . "So you'll say it if I care?" Huo Shaoheng teased .
"Yep . " Gu Nianzhi nodded seriously . "Of course . "

"Ok, then I do care . " Huo Shaoheng continued to humor her .
"What do you mean you care?" Gu Nianzhi muttered unhappily, then counted off with her fingers as she talked about the person she liked . "He has to be handsome, has to be tall, good looking, be amazing, know everything there is to know, and be good to me and respect me, most importantly . "
Huo Shaoheng suddenly felt hopeless . That was the type of person she liked? According to these standards, there were at least a thousand or even ten thousand candidates in all of the Empire; The young lady could fool people even when drunk; had he, Big Xiong, and Little Ze taught her to resist leading questions too well?
"Mhmm, me too . " Huo Shaoheng began to repeat her words, "The person I like has to be pretty, know how to be coy, be powerful, know everything about everything, and be good to me . "
Gu Nianzhi's brain froze again as she looked at Huo Shaoheng in a daze . "What a coincidence! We like the same type?"
"That's not a coincidence . You grew up with me, so what's strange about us liking the same type . " Huo Shaoheng put his hands behind his head and sat casually on the bed .
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her head; she felt that she still had something to say . She squatted forward and climbed up Huo Shaoheng's body to lay on his chest . Her dewy eyes sparkled right in front of his face . "Huo Shao, have you thought about getting a girlfriend?"
"What are you so interested in my girlfriend today?" Huo Shaoheng squinted at her and circled his arms around her slender waist so that she wouldn't tumble off the bed .
"Your girlfriend? Didn't you just say that you didn't have one?" Gu Nianzhi's heart wrenched . "How can you lie? You're a liar! Big! Fat! Liar!" She was so upset she started bawling .
Huo Shaoheng looked up at the top of the bed, speechless . This young lady was even harder to deal with she was drunk . He took a few deep breaths and shifted his body to move a certain "reacting" body part away . He grabbed a few tissues from the nightstand and handed them to Gu Nianzhi . "Don't cry so easily . I already said I didn't have one! Ok? So stop crying . "
"You really don't have one?" Gu Nianzhi took the tissue and blew her nose . "You really can't lie to me; this is really important to me . "
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long moment before asking, "Why would whether not I have a girlfriend be important to you?"
"Nevermind that . " Gu Nianzhi dried her tears and seemed to feel much better she laid on his chest again and stared adoringly at him .
Huo Shaoheng remained motionless and let her stare for a long time before picking her up to have her lay beside him . He asked casually, "Did you not end up with Mei Xiawen because you already liked someone else?"
Gu Nianzhi let her guard down and accidentally spoke from her heart . "Yes, I do love someone . I'll only love him for the rest of my life and I won't be with anyone else even if I can't be with him . I'd rather be alone forever . "
"Is there someone that great?" Huo Shaoheng tried asking calmly, his expression still deadpan .
"Of course he's great, everything's great about him . He's basically perfect…" Gu Nianzhi sighed as she leaned her head against Huo Shaoheng's shoulder . She felt very satisfied .
"There's so such thing as a perfect person . " Huo Shaoheng laughed . "Nianzhi, don't put too much hope into a man . " He paused before he asked, "Who is he?"
