Chapter 371 [Extra] What Year Is Today (7)
The space on the ship is very large, and if you don’t look for it deliberately, you may not see it for several days.
But Lu Youyou didn't have that feeling at all. To her, the size of the ship was only reflected in the visual effect, because whenever she appeared on the deck, she could always see Gu Qingye.
In fact, the officers and soldiers of the fleet are very busy. They often have to train and work for 18 hours a day. They don’t even have time to sleep and rest in the remaining time, and they have no time to wander around.
But Gu Qingye always seizes every spare moment to appear by Lu Youyou's side, because he knows that they don't have much time left to spend together.
After the escort evacuation team arrives in Saudi Arabia, they will return to the Gulf of Aden to continue their escort mission, and it is unknown when they will see each other again.
Even if he has 10,000 percent confidence, reality is always full of surprises; time and space are his biggest enemies.
So while most of the evacuated people could only entertain themselves and pass the time by looking at the sky, the sea and the fish, Lu Youyou had a full-time "chat companion".
Although each conversation was short and the time was not fixed, Gu Qingye's presence made her three days drifting on the sea extremely fulfilling.
Lu Youyou has never been a shy person, nor is she emotionally dull. Gu Qingye's attitude was so clear that she naturally felt it.
Although it is still hazy and the future is full of uncertainty, you are still young, so why not give it a try?
"Do you have wx?"
Lu Youyou sat cross-legged on the deck and turned her head. A clear voice floated into Gu Qingye's ears like a gust of wind.
He looked at the QR code in front of him, was stunned at first, and then the curve of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
"We can't bring cell phones when we're on duty."
Lu Youyou vaguely heard the cry of seagulls, as if they were laughing at her.
Very good, the first time I took the initiative in my life, I suffered a Waterloo, so... does this mean rejection?
Humph, forget it if you don’t want to join. Just because a young lady doesn’t put on airs doesn’t mean she has no airs.
Just before she narrowed her eyes and was about to speak in a pretentious manner, a slender hand took her phone away, left a string of numbers in her address book.
"This is my phone number. The WeChat number is the same, but I have to wait until my mission is over before I can pass it. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."
Lu Youyou's palms were still hot. At the moment of contact, it was hard for her not to recall the few minutes when the two of them ran hand in hand in the hail of bullets.
That solid and reliable touch still remained in her palm, still clear after all this time.
"long?"
"Hmm?" Lu Youyou looked up suddenly and saw him holding up his phone and looking at her with a smile, "Well, I get it, it's okay..."
She quickly took back her phone and held it in her hand without even looking at it. The gazes from the people next to her seemed to be hot, so hot that she was too embarrassed to look back.
Oh——oh——
It seemed that even the seagulls were watching the fun, and their cries were getting louder and louder.
Although Gu Qingye really loved to see Lu Youyou blushing, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous now that he hadn't caught up with her yet.
"Look over there—"
"Hmm? What?"
"There's a big fish over there."
"Where is it?"
Lu Youyou was possessed by the soul of a veterinarian. When he heard there was a big fish, he grabbed the railing and looked out.
She stared at the calm sea for a long time, then turned to Gu Qingye with a little suspicion, "Are you kidding me?"
"Look!" Gu Qingye pointed to the northeast of the bow.
I saw a huge figure leaping out of the sea, and a faint rainbow was printed in the splashing waves.
"Blue Whale?!" Lu Youyou exclaimed, "How could it appear here?"
Blue whales usually hunt at depths of more than 100 meters and rarely surface during the day. Moreover, the Red Sea is long and narrow, so few whales come here.
Although it was Lu Youyou's first time to Africa, it was not her first time to the Red Sea. She had tried snorkeling and deep diving during her vacation, but had never seen a blue whale. Even the diving instructor said that large fish were rare here.
Although she studied veterinary medicine, she had only seen the world's largest mammals a few times. Looking at the big guys playing on the sea, Lu Youyou's eyes were full of excitement.
Gu Qingye thought of the former Killer Whale No. 1. If it were it again, would it still be able to recognize them?
I heard that most killer whales are long-lived. Maybe it is living somewhere in the world now, and we may have a chance to see it again.
"What are you thinking about? You are at sea all year round, do you often see whales?"
"Not really. We can only observe the sea surface for a long time when we are on patrol. The rest of the time we are mostly working in the cabin."
"What about you? You must have come into contact with these things a lot since you study veterinary medicine, right?"
Gu Qingye already knew where Lu Youyou went to school and what major she studied, and he suddenly felt that this was how it should be.
In her previous life, she was loved by animals. Not to mention Xiao Huihui and Zhuifeng, so many dogs in the dog team couldn't walk when they saw her. Orca No. 1 also took the initiative to approach her when they first met.
It seemed like she was born with this kind of affinity, and it was not surprising at all that she chose this major.
"Hello, Captain Gu, hello, Comrade Lu!"
"Captain Gu, the weather is great today. Comrade Lu wishes you a pleasant journey!"
"Comrade Lu, the video room is open. You can watch a movie here. If you can't find the way, let Captain Gu take you there."
A few soldiers on leave chose to "pass by" from behind the two of them, greeting them and offering advice. They all had dark complexions and showed two rows of white teeth when they smiled.
No one was so bold on the first day, but on the second and third days there were always people "passing by" like this, and even Lu Youyou got used to it.
She seldom came into contact with soldiers, and had never lived and eaten with them like this before. She was a little shy at first, but later she got used to it, and when someone greeted her, she responded generously.
As for the teasing in everyone's words, ahem, as long as she isn't embarrassed, blushing will never catch up with her.
On the last night on the boat, Lu Youyou dreamed of Gu Qingye.
The person in the dream was him, but it seemed not to be him. There was also a "Lu Youyou" beside him. They were married and had two lovely children. They had lived together from their youth to their old age...
When Lu Youyou woke up, she was still unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. When she saw the familiar military green and dark blue colors in the cabin, she immediately pulled the quilt over her head.
It's over, she's beyond help!
Before anything happened, she had already brought the soldier home in her dream!
While eating breakfast, she was still immersed in the afterglow of her dream. Usually, she would forget what she dreamed about as soon as she woke up, but today it was the opposite. The images in her mind became clearer and clearer.
As soon as she stepped onto the deck, her eyes automatically locked onto the tall figure in front of her.
What to do, should I get over it or not?
I just had an intimate relationship with someone and had children in my dream, and now I see him in person and I feel a little embarrassed and my heart is beating fast.
Gu Qingye stood at the bow of the ship. The coastline of the Arabian Peninsula had appeared in his sight. The fleet was about to dock and it was time to say goodbye.
