Chapter 372 [Extra] What Year Is Today (8)
No matter how many deer were running around, they all turned into great surprise when they saw the land in the distance.
Lu Youyou excitedly rushed to the bow of the boat, with half of his body sticking out.
“Is it almost time?”
"careful!"
Gu Qingye subconsciously hugged her waist, then let go as if he had been electrocuted. However, the familiar touch easily stirred up memories of the past few decades.
He put his right hand behind his back, trying to stay as far away from her as possible, but the waist as soft as a willow branch was imprinted in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.
Lu Youyou also froze for a moment. Just now, a pair of big hands tightly wrapped around her waist. The strength was really...
Last night's dream appeared uncontrollably again. If there was a mirror in front of her, Lu Youyou would know how much blush her face was now.
But in Gu Qingye's eyes, she was as beautiful as peach and plum, and as brilliant as clouds.
"Thank you." Lu Youyou said in a low voice, but was too embarrassed to look up.
She wanted to see him out of the corner of her eye, but the person next to him was too tall, and she couldn't see his expression unless she looked up.
Gu Qingye coughed lightly: "It's okay, be careful."
"Saudi Arabia is ahead, right?"
"Well, we will arrive at Jeddah Port soon. The staff of the Saudi Consulate will meet us on the shore. Just follow their instructions."
"What about you guys? Aren't you going down?"
"Fleet officers and soldiers are not allowed to leave the ship without permission."
Only then did Lu Youyou realize that she would have to say goodbye to Gu Qingye in a few dozen minutes. The nearby coastline seemed to be brought closer in an instant, and even the clock hand moved faster.
Time flies so fast. It turns out that just three days are enough for her to miss someone.
When she fell silent, Gu Qingye spoke again.
"Go back to your room and charge your phone first. Contact your father as soon as you have a signal. If you can't get in touch with him, follow the embassy's instructions."
"Um……"
"Remember to let me know you're safe. I'll reply as soon as I get my phone back."
"good……"
Then there was a period of silent silence.
The deer raised its head and crashed into the deep blue sea.
"Will you—remember me?"
A gentle and mellow voice came from my ears, as if a layer of glass was added around it, wrapping up the slightly drunken heat inside and making my earlobes feel hot.
"Um……"
Lu Youyou nodded gently, and the next second a rising sun seemed to appear in Gu Qingye’s eyes, and she seemed to hear the sound of the snow melting on the mountains.
If he had not been wearing a military uniform, if he had not been on the boat, he would have hugged his beloved girl in his arms. After all, they had been so close.
He waited for six years before Lu Youyou appeared, and including his previous life, he had loved her for more than 20,000 days.
A long and two short whistles were sounded, and the military ship was less than a kilometer away from the port.
Gu Qingye looked deeply at his beloved girl, stood at attention and saluted.
"Comrade Lu Youyou, nice to meet you!"
"Me too!"
Lu Youyou took two steps towards the cabin, then stopped, as if she had made up her mind. She turned back like a gust of wind and gently hugged Gu Qingye.
"Comrade Gu Qingye, stay safe. I'll be waiting for your reply. Goodbye!"
Gu Qingye was filled with reluctance and happiness at the same time. The sudden surprise caught him off guard. At that moment, he even wanted to express all his feelings.
Whoosh—whoosh—
Lu Youyou ran all the way back to the room and leaned against the door for a long time before she calmed down.
She has never actively confessed her love to anyone in her life, and she just slept with him in a dream, and hugged him immediately after waking up. When did she become so bold?
When she looked in the mirror again, why were her eyes curved, her mouth upturned, and her whole body covered with pink bubbles?
"Comrade Lu? Comrade Lu?"
Suddenly I heard someone shouting, and then I realized that the rest of the people in the room were still there.
Very good, now my face is getting hot again.
She walked back to her bunk "calmly". As long as she was not embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the deck was full of people again. Welcoming banners could be seen on the dock, and many compatriots cheered loudly and cried with joy.
When she saw Gu Qingye again, he was in the farewell procession. Although he was standing in a military posture and his eyes did not move, Lu Youyou knew that he was looking at her at the moment.
There was an old man in front who was very excited. He held the hand of a young soldier and shook it for a long time without letting go. Many people followed suit and shook hands with the soldiers around them.
Lu Youyou imitated the others and stood in front of Gu Qingye: "Comrade, thank you!"
Gu Qingye saw the teasing in her eyes and shook the hand in front of him without hesitation: "Serve the people!"
Although they had said these words countless times, Lu Youyou somehow heard a hint of tenderness in them.
In fact, no one was looking at her, but she felt that the world was focused on her.
She didn't quite remember how she met up with the embassy people later. Anyway, when she came to her senses, she was already in the embassy's car. She also dialed her father's phone at some point, and heard a series of "Hello, hello" coming from the phone.
"dad?"
"I was so scared. He called me but didn't say anything. How is he? Have you arrived in Saudi Arabia?"
"Yes, I just got off the boat."
Lu Zhiyu on the other end of the phone arrived in Saudi Arabia yesterday, and waited outside the port early this morning. Finally, he saw the person he had been waiting for!
As soon as he saw his daughter who was safe and sound, Lu Zhiyu burst into tears before he could say anything.
He pulled Lu Youyou up and down and looked left and right several times, making sure that her arms and legs were intact and her face was rosy. After a few days of anxiety, he finally settled down in his stomach.
"Let's go back home, your mother is waiting for you!"
Just like that, Lu Youyou had just left the sea and in the blink of an eye was back in the sky.
Nestled comfortably on her own plane, eating hometown delicacies carefully prepared by the chef, and listening to her old father's constant concern for her, Lu Youyou's mind involuntarily drifted to her phone.
She knew that Gu Qingye would not get off the boat so soon, and she would have to wait for a reply. The friend request she sent would most likely expire without a response, but she still couldn't help staring at the black screen of her phone again and again.
This time, Lu Zhiyu finally realized that something was wrong with his daughter and immediately became nervous.
"Youyou, what's wrong with you? Are you scared? Do you want to take a nap first? We are safe now, don't be afraid, we will be able to return home in half a day!"
"Dad, I'm not sleepy, and I'm not scared."
Lu Zhiyu was still worried: "Are you really not sleepy?"
Lu Youyou continued to shake her head. This time she stopped staring at her phone and took out her computer to search for the Chinese military.
Now Lu Zhiyu felt that his guess was correct. See, his daughter was just scared!
She had never paid attention to military affairs since she was a child, but now she began to actively look for information, with the screen full of fleet numbers and ship models...
But then again, he could not repay the life-saving grace, and if the troops participating in the evacuation had not been from the US military, he would have made a large donation to express his gratitude.
Comrade Lao Lu didn't know yet that his juicy cabbage had attracted a mighty pig, and the cabbage had already waving in the wind, sticking out a leaf to connect with the pig...
