Chapter 368 [Extra] What Year Is Today (4)
Gu Qingye had imagined countless times the scene of reuniting with Lu Youyou. What kind of appearance should he use to meet her? Did she still remember the past like him...
However, none of the scenes should appear in Sudan, which is in chaos and war.
Why is she here? Why is she crying? Is she hurt?
Seeing the familiar black hair and yellow skin, Lu Youyou was so excited that she couldn't speak, and the visitor didn't give her a chance to speak.
Gu Qingye rushed over like a cheetah, scanning the interior of the car with his sharp eyes at the speed of light.
"Are you okay? Are you injured? If you want to evacuate, you can come with us. The military boat has arrived at the port."
Lu Youyou was a little dazed, being stared at closely by such a pair of dark eyes, and countless strong emotions came over her.
Gu Qingye became anxious, thinking that she couldn't speak for some unexplainable reason. He quickly assessed the combat capabilities of everyone in the car and even thought of several ways to rescue them.
"I'll go with you!"
These words sounded like heavenly music to Gu Qingye, and he finally put his mind at ease.
He quickly opened the car door handle and handed it over. Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment before holding it tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
He will continue to fulfill the oath he made in his previous life in this life, the next life, and the life after that.
Lu Youyou never believed that there were fairy tales in the world, and she had never dreamed of the Monkey King riding on a colorful cloud to save her from danger, but today she seemed to have experienced a fairy tale firsthand.
She got off the car dizzy, and only realized she was not alone when her feet touched the ground.
"Wait a moment..." Lu Youyou was a little embarrassed, "Um...Excuse me, can my teacher and the others follow behind?"
She would definitely not make any unreasonable demands in a critical moment, and she asked the professor and Mayor to follow behind the Chinese convoy in the hope of increasing the safety factor.
Mayor took her and the teacher out of the reserve and tried to help if he could.
Gu Qingye once again raised his eyes and scanned everyone in the car, focusing on the two people Lu Youyou mentioned.
"I need to ask for instructions."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Gu Qingye took out the intercom to communicate with the team leader. Lu Youyou listened attentively and didn't notice that the two of them were holding hands.
A minute later, she finally smiled with relief, and the person on the other end of the intercom said yes.
Before she could tell the people in the car the good news, Gu Qingye spoke first, speaking in fluent English.
"You can follow our convoy, but you are not allowed to act on your own, especially not to fire on your own. If you violate the agreement, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Mayor whispered to the security personnel for a few words, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Seeing this, Gu Qingye said no more and looked down at Lu Youyou: "Come with us."
"I……"
If we talk about her true feelings, Lu Youyou would of course want to return to the embrace of her motherland as soon as possible, but leaving like this...
Gu Qingye seemed to understand her concerns and held her hand tighter: "You are a Chinese citizen. We have an obligation to ensure your safety. Let's go. If they don't act on their own, there will be basically no problems."
At this time, Professor Simpson smiled and patted Lu Youyou on the shoulder: "Lu, you can get in the car with him, we are fine."
Although he didn't understand Chinese, he knew that his student was a kind and good girl, and it would be safer for her to be with people from her own country at this time.
"Lu, don't worry. It's a blessing for us to be able to work together." Mayor also spoke.
At times like this, no matter how wealthy you are, it may not be of any use. The best talisman is to have the support of a big country.
"Then I'll go over. Everyone should be careful." Lu Youyou finally made up her mind.
Gu Qingye picked up the luggage and protected her forward, using his body to block her from being exposed to the gun.
Lu Youyou's attention inevitably fell on his broad shoulders and the thin calluses on his palms...
This man might be a military officer of the Liguan. What is his name?
"My name is Gu Qingye."
Lu Youyou then realized that she had actually asked the question directly, and her face turned red.
"Oh, really? Hello, my name is Lu Youyou."
Gu Qingye suddenly smiled and looked against the light. It seemed as if flowers were blooming on the steel.
Lu Youyou didn't know how she got through the second half of the journey. Gu Qingye had to carry her almost all the way to where she needed to climb up and down.
There were still sporadic sounds of woodworking in the distance, but to her, they were no longer audible.
The bus was full. Gu Qingye gave his seat to Lu Youyou. The people who went to communicate with the armed men also came back. The national flag was indeed useful. As long as they were not so cruel, they would not make things difficult for China's evacuation team.
Lu Youyou was nervously watching the back, and fortunately the two off-road vehicles passed smoothly.
When she relaxed, she realized her back was soaked with sweat, and when she leaned back in the chair, she felt sore all over.
At this time, a piece of chocolate was handed to her. Following the familiar slender hands, Lu Youyou saw the smile in Gu Qingye's eyes.
"Thank you," she said softly.
"Refill your energy first. There will be hot meals and dishes on board."
On the road ahead, Lu Youyou would occasionally look towards the figure in front of her, but she was afraid that Gu Qingye would notice her if she looked for too long, so she would look out the window for a while and then at him.
Little did she know that Gu Qingye had to use all his strength to control himself from turning around to look for her.
His lover's gaze had long been engraved in his soul. He knew it the first time Lu Youyou saw her, but he did not look back.
To Lu Youyou, he was just a stranger she had just met today, and he didn't want to scare her.
Soon, they arrived at the Port Sudan dock, and two off-road vehicles stopped, and Professor Mayor and Simpson walked over.
Seeing that Gu Qingye still hadn't left, Mayor nodded to him first, and then said: "Lu, are you going to take the plane with us, or..."
Lu Youyou shook her head and said, "I'll go with the evacuation fleet. My parents are still waiting for me in China."
If it weren't for today's incident, she would definitely fly to France with them first and then transfer back to China, but now that every soldier has arrived, she just wants to return to the embrace of her motherland as soon as possible.
When Gu Qingye heard Lu Youyou say that they would return to China with the evacuation team, his throat moved. In fact, after receiving the evacuees, the Zhoujian team will go to Saudi Arabia first to make arrangements and will not return to China directly.
But he didn't say anything. He just wanted to never be separated from Lu Youyou again, so naturally he wouldn't mention such a disappointing thing.
However, what happened next made him clench his fists.
He had been searching for his lover for six years, but he had never hugged her yet, and yet he was so close to these two foreigners, especially the younger one.
The affection in Mayor's eyes could not be hidden from his eyes.
Gu Qingye was of course aware that this was just a common cheek kiss in the West, but there was nothing he could do. A man who had been alone for a long time was like this, his mind was as narrow as a needle's tip.
