Chapter 377 [Extra] What Year Is This Night (11) End
"So you are from Beijing?" Lu Youyou paused holding the chopsticks.
He speaks standard Mandarin, without any Beijing accent.
Gu Qingye nodded. He was used to speaking Mandarin in his previous life. Although he was a registered citizen of Beijing in this life, he was already in a military camp when he woke up, and there were not many people around him with a Beijing accent.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh. She originally thought that meeting again in the capital was a coincidence and it would be difficult to see each other again in the future. Now that she knew Gu Qingye's home was here, she felt inexplicably relieved.
Gu Qingye poured a bowl of soup and placed it next to her: "Drink some soup, I'll help you roll the roast duck..."
"You eat too, no need to take care of me."
Unfortunately, there was no way to stop her. Lu Youyou only stretched out her chopsticks a few times, but her bowl was never empty, and it was all what she wanted to eat, and she didn't even miss the order.
The two chatted casually, and the slight awkwardness when they first met had long disappeared.
They obviously have completely different life trajectories and completely different personalities and backgrounds, but they get along very well for some reason, it doesn't seem like they have just met, nor like they haven't seen each other for over a month.
Lu Youyou even felt that they had known each other for a long time, otherwise why would they be so compatible?
"Youyou, are you free tomorrow?"
"Hmm?" Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment and raised her head. She was stared at by Gu Qingye's focused eyes. The temperature on her face rose quietly. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"
Lu Youyou burst out laughing. She had said before that she would treat him today and let him come next time, but she didn't expect that next time he would come so soon.
Gu Qingye knew that this would seem too hasty, but he had waited too long and he didn't want to waste every day since he came back.
Lu Youyou looked at him with curved eyebrows. The feeling of running towards each other in both directions seemed better than she had imagined. Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow!
"Okay." She nodded in agreement.
"Would you like to try my cooking?"
Lu Youyou widened her eyes. This time, she really didn’t expect this: “Your cooking skills? Are you saying you want to cook it yourself?!”
How can someone who has been drifting on the sea for years know how to cook? The key is that he dares to cook for her to eat!
Even though they had only known each other for a few days, she could tell that Gu Qingye was not a boastful person. Since he was so generous in inviting her, he definitely wasn't a novice in the kitchen.
She didn't even consider whether it was too fast for a single man and woman to get married on their third meeting, and she had already agreed before she had any concerns.
"Okay, if you dare to make it, I dare to eat it!"
Gu Qingye smiled and said, "You don't have to be so reckless. My cooking skills are pretty good."
Lu Youyou's eyes sparkled: "You are amazing. You can still learn to cook even though you are so busy. Unlike me, I can only make soup, but the food I cook is basically inedible."
"It's okay. I can do it."
Lu Youyou blinked, and the temperature of her cheeks began to rise rapidly again.
This sentence...could it be what she meant?
This, this, this is like running at double speed!
She didn't know that even so, Gu Qingye still felt it was not fast enough.
If possible, he would rather decide on it today, visit the couple tomorrow, and get the certificate the day after tomorrow.
He didn't say anything because he was afraid of scaring Lu Youyou.
On the way back, Lu Youyou held her breath, fearing that Gu Qingye would continue to play straight, but she had a secret desire in her heart.
She didn't know why this happened. She had never experienced such turbulent emotions in her life.
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and we can go grocery shopping together?"
"Um."
"Is ten o'clock okay?"
"Um."
"long……"
"Um?"
"I like you."
Lu Youyou's mind went blank for a moment, as if her thoughts had suddenly been interrupted, and she didn't even notice that the car had pulled over.
"long?"
The call in her ear seemed to be far away and near. She turned her head blankly, and the next second she fell into those dark and deep eyes.
She looked up at Gu Qingye, her eyes flashing with tiny starlight that she was not aware of.
Maybe after a few seconds, maybe after a few minutes, her hands were covered by a pair of broad, dry palms, which gently held her in their palms.
"Youyou, I like you, are you willing to be with me?"
Lu Youyou seemed to hear a slight tremor in his voice, but he was so confident, as if he would never be defeated by difficulties and would always be so calm and composed.
Gu Qingye waited quietly for her answer. He knew he shouldn't be so anxious, but at that moment, his love almost rushed towards her uncontrollably.
"Are you... serious?"
Lu Youyou seemed to hear a voice from the unknown telling her that this question did not need to be confirmed, as it had been deeply imprinted there and would not fade no matter how time passed.
But she couldn't help asking.
Gu Qingye pulled her hand up and put it against his chest, thump—thump—thump—
Lu Youyou felt as if she had heard this sound somewhere before, the same rhythm, the same frequency.
Her fingertips trembled slightly.
"Do you feel it?" Gu Qingye asked her.
His heartbeat was as boiling as in his previous life, no, it was even more turbulent and surging now than then.
Finally, Lu Youyou curled the corners of his lips, and a bright light flowed in his eyes.
“I feel it.”
"Then...are you willing?"
"Yes, I do!"
The aura around Gu Qingye changed instantly. She didn't know how to describe his smile at this moment. It was like the scenery of lakes and mountains after the rain, or like the other side reached after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Can I hug you?"
Lu Youyou smiled and opened her arms, and the next second she was tightly held in the arms by those strong arms.
Gu Qingye hugged her tightly, his hot body temperature ironing her skin through the fabric, and his head was buried in the crook of Lu Youyou's neck, as if a lost wolfhound had finally found its owner.
Youyou, I miss you so much!
Finally, we can be together again!
When Lu Youyou felt the force on his back loosen a little, he didn't know how much time had passed.
All her anxiety and excitement were finally covered by joy and embarrassment. During the rest of the journey, she couldn't help laughing and turning her head to look.
Gu Qingye had not let go of her hand from the beginning till now, his ten fingers were tightly clasped together, fitting perfectly like mortise and tenon joints.
"Do you like it so much?" Lu Youyou asked him.
"Yeah, I like it even more than this."
It turns out that straightforward love words can be so touching!
Lu Youyou shook their clasped hands, feeling a warmth and generosity that was completely different from his own.
He appeared in her life like a shooting star. He did not choose to streak across the night sky, but fell towards her without hesitation, so firm and so persistent.
It seemed as if she was destined to have such a person appear, to occupy her heart, to affect her emotions, and to share every minute and every second of the rest of her life with her.
For the rest of my life, I will know your warmth and coldness and accompany you in your joys and sorrows.
The mountains and rivers are vast, the world is full of fireworks, everything is you, everything is you.
The end point has arrived. I wish you all happiness, health and all the best. See you in the next story!
