Chapter 366 [Extra] What Year Is This Night (2)

A local volunteer girl came over and whispered: "Lu, Mayor likes you very much!"

Lu Youyou smiled and shook her head. She was not stupid and of course she could see that Mayol was interested in her.

He is handsome, comes from a wealthy family, has a warm personality, and has a similar educational background... He seems to have everything good, but she just doesn't feel anything!

Her parents don't have any requirements on whether she should find a Chinese or foreigner, and they don't need to consider whether the two families are of equal status. As long as she likes him, everything is fine.

Even in such a vast grassland where sparks could easily arise and in such a relaxed and boundary-free environment for getting along, she didn't have any improper thoughts. Lu Youyou knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility for her and Mayol.

"Lu, come quickly, you will perform the surgery today!" Professor Simpson waved at her from the front.

Lu Youyou responded immediately: "Okay, I'll be right there!"

She quickly put on a mask and gloves and started working.

This African elephant not only had serious facial injuries, but also had shrapnel embedded in its hind legs. If the staff had not discovered it in time, another life would have been lost to the poachers' guns.

The strong smell of blood continued to irritate everyone's nerves, and everyone was racing against death.

With such serious injuries, it is impossible to transport him back to the base. He can only be rescued through surgery on the spot, and the chance of survival is only 50%.

Since coming to Africa, she seemed to have instantly shed her student identity and faced the cruelty of life in the most intuitive way.

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down Lu Youyou's forehead, and just when they were about to drip into her eyes, a piece of clean gauze gently wiped them.

Lu Youyou thanked the volunteer girl and did not notice that Mayor had raised his hand halfway and then retracted it.

The little girl then realized that she seemed to be blocking the way of the girl who was chasing her. She was hesitating whether to give up her seat, and Lu Youyou said again: "Please help me wipe my temple."

"Oh, okay." The little girl moved reflexively, and her half-formed enthusiastic thoughts disappeared in an instant.

In fact, Lu Youyou didn't notice these at all. It was just that the excessive sweat blocked her vision. The little girl helped her wipe it at the beginning, so as not to bother two people.

However, Simpson noticed the hormones floating in the air while observing the students. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It’s so good to be young!

The operation, which lasted an hour, was successfully completed. The transport vehicle sent by the rescue center is now in place. Whether this African elephant can survive depends on the next half month.

Lu Youyou leaned against the car with her eyes closed. At this time, a bottle of mineral water appeared next to her, and Mayor's voice rang out.

"Drink?"

"Thank you." Lu Youyou took it and nodded politely, but did not take over the conversation as Mayor expected. Instead, she looked to the other side.

Several staff members there were discussing how to load the unconscious elephant onto the vehicle.

Mayor sighed silently in his heart. Wasn't his expression obvious enough?

He originally just wanted to travel around the world after graduation, but he didn't expect to meet his sweetheart in Africa, whom he fell in love with at first sight. He kept postponing the time of leaving, but is still stuck at the first step of the pursuit.

He once wondered if he was too ugly or too unkempt after coming here, but no matter whether he cut his hair or shaved, no matter how many girls expressed their affection for him, Lu Youyou's eyes never changed when she looked at him.

She was certainly friendly, but only just friendly.

Mayor shook his head to clear his chaotic thoughts.

Maybe Oriental girls are just so reserved when it comes to relationships? Maybe if he persists a little longer, she will see his sincerity.

Lu Youyou sometimes admires people like Mayor who have full social attributes. As long as he wants, he can talk about one topic after another and never repeat himself.

Even if she responded incoherently, he was always well-informed and not rash at all. He even took the initiative to give her some space to be alone before she became less interested in sex.

Looking at the brown-haired young man who went to help with the tow truck, Lu Youyou also wanted to sigh. What should she do? Should she take the initiative to say to him - Hey, young man, stop trying, it's useless?

When she thought of that scene, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

At this time, Professor Simpson came over and asked, "You will be going back in a week. What are your plans?"

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going back to prepare for the graduation defense, or... Professor, do you have other plans?"

Professor Simpson smiled and said, "I mean, if you want to stay, that's fine. The defense can be conducted online."

As soon as she saw the professor's expression, Lu Youyou knew that he had misunderstood, and waved her hand quickly: "Of course I want to go back with you!"

Professor Simpson laughed and said, it seems that Mayor didn't succeed!

He patted his favorite student on the shoulder and said, "There are still a few days left. You can decide for yourself whether to leave or stay. The procedure is very easy."

Lu Youyou had no intention of changing her plan at the last minute, not because she wanted to escape from her pursuers, but because her Chinese stomach just couldn't take it anymore.

Life is boring without Chinese food. She can endure it for two weeks, but if she endures it for more than two months, it will be like the death of her.

At least you can find Chinese restaurants when studying in the UK, or you can fly back home to eat there. But in this nature reserve where there are few Asians, Chinese food only exists in her dreams.

Here, they only have porridge and beans for every meal, while white people can't even eat good food. She dreams about hot pot and pork elbows every night. This morning, she was awakened by being hit by a roast goose.

Forget it, don’t think about it. I start drooling just thinking about it.

After returning to the base, the African elephant was first arranged, and the resident doctors took turns on duty until it was out of danger.

Lu Youyou took a quick shower and received her lunch with a very sad mood. When she saw that it was an Asida and Combo, her mood finally improved a little.

There is nothing much to say about Asida, it is just a dough made of wheat flour and corn flour. Combo is a stew made of beef, onions, spinach and tomatoes, and is one of the few local specialties that Lu Youyou can get used to.

She skillfully opened her mobile phone and watched food videos while eating, imagining that there was a full banquet in front of her while stuffing colorful stew into her mouth.

Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared on the screen, and the Chinese Embassy in Sudan issued an urgent message -

"Recently, Sudan's security situation has remained tense, armed conflicts have further escalated, and security risks have risen sharply. The Chinese Embassy in Sudan recommends that Chinese citizens in Sudan take commercial flights to leave Sudan as soon as possible. In case of emergency, please contact the embassy for help."

A few minutes later, the phone call from home came in. My parents had seen the news and were extremely worried.

"Youyou, how far is your place from the nearest airport? Can you buy a plane ticket? As long as you can leave, you can go anywhere. Dad is also contacting the airline to see if a private plane can pick you up."

To be honest, Lu Youyou hasn't come to her senses yet. As a child who grew up under the red flag, war has always been quite far away from her.
