Chapter 406 Meng Hu, My Roommate
Before Gu Yuehuai could smile, Xu Chuangu said, "But the marriage leave is only three days. I'm afraid it won't be enough for the round trip. Forget it. Let's wait for the team to arrange this matter."
After saying that, Xu Chuangu picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Yuehuai, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Gu Yuehuai looked at Xu Chuangu with complicated eyes, his face pale and red, and said unhappily: "Uncle Xu, you said this in three parts. Are you really not afraid of choking me? Forget it, I will reply by myself."
It just so happened that she was planning to go to Feng City when she returned, and it would be inconvenient for Yan Shaoyu to go with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Yan Shaoyu grabbed her wrist and said, "I applied for ten days of leave."
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai's mouth twitched: "You really can hold your breath, teaming up with Uncle Xu to tease me."
Yan Shaoyu paused, his tone a little aggrieved: "The leave has not been approved yet."
Gu Yuehuai's breath was stuck in her throat, choking her and making her unable to speak.
"Hahaha." Xu Chuangu laughed heartily. If he was not afraid of pulling the wound on his lower abdomen, it would have ruptured. Uncle Ping on the side was anxious, but in the end he had no choice but to laugh along with him. There was a bit of relief in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yuehuai.
Ever since the incident with the Yan family, the smiles on the faces of the chief and Shao Yu disappeared, and both of them hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
At this moment, the landline phone on the coffee table next to him suddenly rang.
Xu Chuangu's smile faded and his face became slightly solemn.
He walked up to pick up the phone, his tone calm but somewhat serious: "This is Xu Chuan Gu, go ahead."
The person on the other end of the phone talked for a long time, and Xu Chuangu's face became colder and colder. In the end, he only said: "Escort him back. This matter cannot be tolerated. It must be suppressed with thundering means!"
Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu looked at each other, and their faces darkened.
Xu Chuangu hung up the phone and sat down on the sofa with a heavy heart. He looked up at Yan Shaoyu and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but thinking of Gu Yuehuai beside him, he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back. When you have time, take Xiao Gu to sign. I'll approve your leave. Go back home with Xiao Gu in a few days and take care of things before coming back."
Yan Shaoyu looked at Xu Chuangu deeply, said nothing, and took Gu Yuehuai with him to say goodbye and leave.
On the way, Gu Yuehuai originally wanted to ask about the phone call just now, but seeing that Yan Shaoyu seemed in a bad mood, she didn't say anything. Halfway through the walk, she suddenly heard someone calling Yan Shaoyu's name. She looked up and saw it was a young man.
"Shao Yu Shao Yu! I finally found you. You really went to the leader's place?" The man trotted over. Although he spoke to Yan Shao Yu, his eyes were staring straight at Gu Yue Huai, and the curiosity in his eyes was almost bursting out.
This man is a big and strong man. When he grins, he looks silly and doesn't seem to be very smart.
Gu Yuehuai smiled at him politely. Yan Shaoyu had a rebellious and cold temperament. The person who knew him by name must be someone he had more contact with in the army. If she guessed correctly, he should be her roommate.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at him and introduced him to Gu Yuehuai: "Meng Hu, my roommate."
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai paused slightly, then suddenly looked at Meng Hu, with a faint light in his eyes.
"Hello, comrade. Hello. I'm Meng Hu, Shao Yu's best roommate. You can just call me Hu Zi. I'm from Huaihai City. By the way, do you have any sisters or anything like that? The unmarried kind?"
"Hehehe, I'm a loyal and honest person, and I treat people kindly. If you ask Shao Yu, you'll know that I'm very reliable!"
Meng Hu borrowed the donkey to go up the hill and promoted himself.
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm the only girl in my family."
Meng Hu, like Li Dongdong, has a carefree personality, the only thing is that they both want to find a partner.
Upon hearing what Gu Yuehuai said, Meng Hu's face visibly fell.
He forced a smile and said, "No, it's okay. If you meet a suitable girl in the future, you can introduce her to me."
"Okay." Gu Yuehuai nodded and agreed without hesitation.
She had heard of Meng Hu in her previous life. Like He Lanzhang, he was a close comrade-in-arms that Yan Shaoyu often talked about.
However, his final fate was to be buried on the front line, torn to pieces by bombs, and even his body could not be found.
What she remembered clearly was that when Yan Shaoyu talked to her about Meng Hu, he drank a lot of wine. That was the first time she saw him so listless, and his voice was low and lonely: Hu Zi said that when the mission is over, he will get married when he returns.
"Comrade, you are such a good person!" Meng Hu was full of gratitude. If Yan Shaoyu hadn't been beside him, he would have pulled Gu Yuehuai's hand and shaken it. Is this his roommate's partner? No, this is the benefactor who is going to introduce him to someone!
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips and said, "The afternoon training is about to start. I'll take you home first."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "We've come this far, I can find my way back, don't worry about me, go ahead."
Yan Shaoyu glanced at Gu Yuehuai, hummed lightly, and turned away without saying goodbye to Meng Hu.
"Hey! Wait for me, wait!" Meng Hu shouted, turned back embarrassedly and smiled at Gu Yuehuai before catching up. The two figures soon disappeared around the corner.
Gu Yuehuai suppressed the smile on his lips, let out a light breath, and went back to the dormitory.
As soon as she left, Yan Shaoyu came out from the corner again. Meng Hu poked his arm with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with you? Not only did you not send someone off, but you also lied to them. How can someone like you find a partner?"
"Don't follow me." Yan Shaoyu glanced at him indifferently and went towards Xu Chuangu's residence.
Meng Hu was so angry that he punched Yan Shaoyu's back twice and muttered in dissatisfaction: "If you don't want to follow me, then don't follow me. Who cares? Just wait, I will definitely expose you in front of my benefactor!"

Gu Yuehuai returned to the dormitory, sat on the thin bed, pursed his lips, and looked a little unhappy.
She knew Yan Shaoyu too well. He would not give up any opportunity to earn military merit, and the call that Xu Chuangu received was obviously an opportunity. She saw it, and Yan Shaoyu saw it too.
After a while, Gu Yuehuai gave a bitter smile. He had known that he was such a person. What was the point of sulking?
She understood him. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she should respect his choice. After all, Yan Shaoyu had a lot to shoulder and had to move forward step by step. All of this had to be experienced in the hail of bullets.
He didn't say it because he was afraid that she would worry, and she knew it in her heart.
After comforting himself, Gu Yuehuai's cheeks regained some redness. There was nothing to worry about. After all, so many years had passed in his previous life and nothing happened to him. He walked safely to the end. The most terrifying thing was to scare himself.
Forget it, she wanted to see how Yan Shaoyu would talk when he came back in the evening.
