Chapter 376 [Extra] What Year Is This Night (10)

After Gu Qingye finished his mission and got his phone back, the first thing he did was to add Lu Youyou’s WeChat.

After the message was sent, every second seemed like a lifetime.

Had she forgotten him?

Would you treat him as an unexpected encounter in a foreign country?

After the dopamine and adrenaline secreted due to tension fade away, will she feel that he is just an ordinary passerby, whom she met because of the mission and separated because the mission was over?

After waiting for so many years, he thought he could face everything calmly, but when Lu Youyou really appeared, within reach, his heart still jumped with joy and nervousness uncontrollably...

The moment his phone vibrated, he instinctively knew it must be the person he was waiting for, but he held onto the screen and didn't dare turn it over.

Soon another vibration came. Gu Qingye closed his eyes and clicked on the screen firmly.

It's her!

Lu Youyou quickly approved his friend request, and it took less than a minute for him to click send.

[Gu Qingye, is that you? Are you back? ]

Gu Qingye stared at the simple line of words, and his eyelashes suddenly trembled.

He had heard the words "You're back" countless times and missed them countless times. Finally, they appeared in his world again, truly and vividly.

He seemed to be able to see Lu Youyou's face, as if it was right in front of him. She smiled and said, "You're back" in the tone he was most familiar with.

【It’s me, I’m back! 】

He subconsciously wrote "I miss you very much", stared at the dialog box for a long time, and finally pressed the delete key silently.

On the other side, Lu Youyou was not much better off.

After not contacting each other for a long time, she was inexplicably excited, yet also a little unfamiliar and nervous. It was the first time in her life that she felt what it was like to have her heart beating fast.

I used to think that the descriptions in romance novels were very childish, but when I was really in the situation, I realized that the more vulgar the adjectives, the more appropriate they were.

It only took her less than a month to go from being a military novice to being familiar with all types of ships.

Lu Youyou is not a naive little girl. She knows very well what this means.

She knew how special Gu Qingye's profession was. Perhaps the next time he went out to sea, she didn't know when she would hear from him again.

Lu Youyou has never been a person who is shy and procrastinates. She made up her mind and picked up her phone and typed out a line of words.

[Where are you? Are you free? Do you want to meet? ]

Gu Qingye never knew that a person's mood could be brightened in an instant.

A smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he had to take a deep breath to calm the joy and restlessness in his heart.

He thought he was the one running at full speed, but when he ran again, Lu Youyou was still as brave and free as ever.

[I am in Beijing and have 20 days of vacation. I am free anytime. ]

When Lu Youyou saw these words, her eyes curved into the shape of the moon.

[Then I'll treat you to a meal. I haven't formally thanked you for saving my life yet. ]

[I should have been the one who took the initiative to invite you.]

[Yours will be left for next time, this time it must be my treat! ]

Lu Youyou didn't even realize that she had naturally thought about next time.

She was so excited that she watched another military film. When she woke up the next day, she had two big dark circles under her eyes. She forced herself to take a nap, and in a blink of an eye, it was already ten o'clock.

She spent a long time choosing clothes, but finally succumbed to the temperature in Beijing, wearing short-sleeved shirt, shorts, high ponytail, and sunglasses that no one would love.

"Mom, Dad, I have a date with friends and won't be home for dinner tonight!"

"Hey, where are you going? It's so hot, I'll ask the driver to take you!"

"No need, my friend will come to pick me up!"

As soon as Lu Youyou finished speaking, she ran out of the house like a gust of wind. Lu Zhiyu felt a pain in his temples and felt as sad as a pig in an archway.

"Do you think my daughter is..." Lu Zhiyu tried to hold back, but still couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.

Lin Nanxing glanced at him with a smile and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"I haven't said what it is yet...!" Lu Zhiyu became even more sour.

"No matter what the answer is, it's this." Lin Nanxing picked up the teacup and took a sip elegantly.

Lu Zhiyu: The pigs are coming and the cabbages are about to fly. The old father can’t stop them and feels so sad.

Lu Youyou walked out of the hospital and then she remembered that Gu Qingye had not registered and might not be able to come in. Just as she was about to make a phone call, a black SUV stopped in front of her.

The passenger window rolled down, and the face that she had thought of countless times during this period appeared in front of her.

After such a long time, it was inevitable that they felt a little unfamiliar with each other, but when she heard Gu Qingye say "Long time no see", a smile suddenly appeared in the corners of her eyes.

She opened the passenger door and replied briskly, "Well, long time no see!"

"Where do you want to eat?"

"I want to ask you, I'm inviting you to dinner, of course you can eat whatever you like."

Gu Qingye smiled softly: "Then it's sweet and sour spareribs, roast duck, pickled pork with preserved vegetables and steamed pork with rice flour."

Lu Youyou turned his head blankly, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Why are all of them her favorite dishes?

Gu Qingye curled the corners of his lips. In his previous life, when they just got married, he asked her what she wanted to eat, and he could cook it all, and even if she didn't know how to cook, he could learn it.

That’s what she said at the time. Oh, and we also wanted to add mutton hotpot, but that can be put off for next time.

"I have a present for you. It's in the back seat. Want to see it?"

Lu Youyou came back to her senses in a daze, looked back, and saw a brown paper bag without a logo on it on the back seat.

"Can I see it?"

"certainly."

Lu Youyou stretched out her arm to take it. It was much heavier than she thought and she almost couldn't lift it with one hand.

She glanced at the driver's seat: "So I opened it?"

"Go ahead. I don't know if you like it."

Lu Youyou smiled and said, "How can I not like it if there is a gift to receive?"

She carefully unpacked the package. There were no patterns or logos on it from the outside to the inside. She had no idea what was inside without opening it.

When she removed the last layer of cover, an exquisite ship model stood there quietly.

It turned out to be the XX ship where Gu Qingye served!

Moreover, it is a simulation model that is scaled down in proportion to the shape, structure, and color of the real ship!

Only 10 sets of this model were issued on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the PLA. Each set has a specific destination and ordinary people have no chance to see it.

In the past, Lu Youyou would not be interested in these things at all, but now she has become an absolute fan of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and this gift undoubtedly touched her heart.

She touched the model shell carefully, and the surprise in her eyes had not yet faded.

"Thank you, I like it very much!"

Gu Qingye smiled with relief: "As long as you like it."

They lived together on the boat for three days, and their lifelong bond began on the boat.

He hopes that this memory will be like this 1:1 replica of the ship, never dispersed, never separated, never faded, and never wavered, and will remain in their hearts forever.
