Chapter 369 [Extra] What Year Is Today (5)
The first feeling I had when I saw each military boat was that it was very big. Extremely, extremely, extremely big.
You can't see the top when you look up, and you can't see the edges on the left or right. It's like a moving city wall.
Officers and soldiers lined up on both sides of the gangway to welcome them. The scene of loud gongs and drums and the hail of bullets a hundred miles away seemed like two different worlds.
After seeing their own ships and their own soldiers, the worried people finally felt relieved. They sang and danced, and held hands to sing "My Motherland and I".
It was also the first time for Lu Youyou to board the famous escort ship No. 0XX. To be honest, even though she was powerless, she had a heroic feeling that the world was so big that there was no place that she could not go.
I am surrounded by compatriots and all I hear is Chinese. I never felt this feeling was so precious before, but now I know how rare security and peace are.
She stood on the deck and looked into the distance. On one side was the azure Red Sea, on the other side was the vast desert, behind her were the motherland's powerful ships and guns, and there was even the faint smell of food.
"Comrade Lu——"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and Lu Youyou was stunned when he turned around.
Gu Qingye was wearing casual clothes before, but now he changed into a dark blue military uniform, just like the other officers and soldiers he met.
"You...you are a soldier?"
Gu Qingye stood at attention and saluted: "Comrade Lu, I am XX from the XX ship of the XX Army, performing escort missions in the Red Sea. Nice to meet you!"
Such a formal self-introduction made Lu Youyou nervous, and she couldn't help laughing. She really didn't expect Gu Qingye to be like this.
She didn't know what to do now, how about shaking hands first?
"Nice to meet you too."
Seeing the slender hand reaching out from the other side, Gu Qingye shook it without hesitation.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Lu Youyou didn't ask him why he changed into casual clothes and entered Sudan. It was a military secret, and she understood it.
"Let's not call each other comrades anymore, it's awkward." Lu Youyou said with a smile, "Just call me by my name, just call me Youyou."
Gu Qingye hummed but didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing Lu Youyou looking at him in surprise, he called out softly, "Youyou..."
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Lu Youyou always felt that her name had a different flavor when it came out of Gu Qingye’s mouth.
Well...she couldn't describe it, but her face turned red after hearing it.
"Then you can just call me by my name."
Lu Youyou had never encountered any social difficulties in her life, but she had no idea that a simple name would be so difficult to say.
Gu Qingye considerately changed the subject. There was still a lot of time to go, so there was no need to rush, although he missed Lu Youyou’s blushing face very much.
The evacuation operation had not yet been completed, and Gu Qingye was very busy and could not stay for long. He quickly immersed himself in his work, as if he came here just to say hello to her.
Staff members came one after another to register everyone's subsequent itinerary. It was only at this time that Lu Youyou knew that they would first go to the Saudi Arabian Port of Jeddah, which faces the Sudanese Sea. If they have other plans, they can also arrange their own itinerary after arriving in Saudi Arabia.
Lu Youyou wanted to call her parents and ask the private plane to change route to Saudi Arabia to pick her up, but when she took out her cell phone, there was no signal.
She sighed and said, this is Africa in war.
I can only contact my family after arriving in Saudi Arabia. Anyway, I am safe now.
The Zhoujian team arranged very rich meals for everyone. Lu Youyou had been in Africa for almost a month, and this was the first time she had eaten authentic Chinese food.
She even thought the meal would be in her top ten gourmet food list, and if rarity and history were taken into account, it would be in the top three.
Lu Youyou had a big meal, eating almost twice as much as usual, and then successfully fainted from carbon monoxide poisoning.
She returned to the deck, took out her hat, sat on the ground, hugged the railing and dozed off.
She didn't know how long it had been before a shadow was cast from above. She opened her eyes blearily and faced the sunlight for a long time before she could see who was coming.
"Comrade Gu?"
"You can call me by my name."
"Ah? Oh..." Lu Youyou shook her head and woke up, but the only drawback of waking up was that she still couldn't open her mouth.
In the end, she could only vaguely recite the three words "Gu Qingye". She was dazzled by the sunlight and couldn't open her eyes, so she missed the smile on Gu Qingye's lips.
He leaned forward slightly and asked softly, "Do you want to call home?"
"I tried, but there's no signal. Let's wait until Saudi Arabia. It's just across the Red Sea, so it should be fast."
"Come with me."
"Ah?" Lu Youyou's eyes widened instantly, and she suddenly realized something, "Do you have a way to make a call?"
She suddenly felt that she had asked a stupid question. Of course there was a satellite phone on the military ship, but she couldn't use it.
"Come." Gu Qingye waved.
Lu Youyou had an inexplicable trust in him, perhaps because he saved her from danger, and she unknowingly developed a bit of a fledgling complex for him.
She followed Gu Qingye around, circling left and right, and was very conscious not to look around. If she could, she would have covered her eyes. She really didn't want to find out any military secrets.
Gu Qingye took her to an empty room with a satellite phone on the table.
"You can use this to contact your family, but I need to be present when you call."
"No problem, no problem, you can just play it openly."
Gu Qingye smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation, and Lu Youyou immediately called her father.
She must answer the call, this is a rare opportunity. If no one answers, she would feel embarrassed to trouble Gu Qingye again.
"Hello, who is this?" Lu Zhiyu's slightly tired voice sounded.
Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, thanking God, the motherland and the Party. She did not dare to delay for a moment and briefly explained the situation here. Lu Zhiyu immediately promised to arrange someone to pick her up in Saudi Arabia.
"Okay, Dad. Time is limited. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm safe. Don't worry, you and Mom. We'll contact each other when we get to Saudi Arabia. Bye!"
Lu Youyou spoke rapidly and hung up the phone. She looked up at Gu Qingye, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Um, can you give me the satellite phone? It won't do that..."
Seeing her open a pair of deer-like eyes, Gu Qingye's eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc.
"It's not a violation of discipline. I've applied for it specifically. Don't worry."
"Huh...that's good, that's good!"
Lu Youyou's long sigh made Gu Qingye laugh again, and he had to resist rubbing her hair with great difficulty.
"Come on, I'll take you out. We're about to set sail. The estimated sailing time is 72 hours. We'll arrange accommodation for you on the ship..."
Gu Qingye gave detailed instructions along the way, and many soldiers passing by couldn't help but look back.
Is this still the serious Gu Qingye?
Who is that incredibly beautiful girl?
I’m going to start a new book at the end of the month. This time I’m going to try a new subject matter. It’s still furry and has those cheesy golden fingers.
The extra chapters of old articles will also continue to be updated.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear ones, dear children, please continue to support me!
