There are always times when people deeply doubt their choices.
Gao Fei sat on the Gobi Desert, guarding his luggage and jeep, waiting for the PLA comrades who would return in an unknown amount of time.
The border guard team she came from was very remote. Although someone met her when she came out of the train station, unfortunately, the car broke down halfway and the comrade driving had to go back to find someone. Now she was the only one guarding here temporarily.
Looking at the deserted surroundings, even though Gao Fei was brave, he gradually felt a chill on his back.
She had heard from Yuman that there were wild wolves in areas outside the border area. What should she do if it got dark and the comrades who were supposed to pick them up had not arrived yet?
There was no one around, and it was so quiet that only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard. At this moment, Gao Fei really regretted it.
Seeing that it was getting later, she decided to get in the car and wait. She had been sitting for too long, and her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. The moment she opened the car door, she seemed to hear the dull sound of military boots hitting the ground.
Looking back, I saw five people running towards this side in a line in the distance. Just as they stood firm, two of them went to check the situation in the car.
The leader was tall, with sharp and serious eyes. When Gao Fei met his gaze, he felt a little nervous.
"Battalion Commander, the car can't be repaired in a short time." At this time, the voices of two people in the car were heard.
The man called the battalion commander looked at her the next moment.
The car couldn't be repaired, so Gao Fei's wish to go back by car was dashed, and he could only walk back with them.
She had lived in the capital for so many years and was not used to walking on gravel-covered ground. After only half an hour of walking, she was sweating profusely, relying entirely on her perseverance to persevere.
The tall and silent man suddenly said, "If you're not used to walking, I can carry you."
Gao Fei opened her mouth to agree, but at this moment, she saw the deep coldness hidden in her eyes.
Did they think she had no perseverance, so there was no suspense?
Gao Fei refused in anger and followed the others without complaining along the way.
It was not until dusk that they arrived at the army. Gao Fei's residence was a very shabby house, but it was considered very good here.
She walked for almost two hours and her feet were covered with blisters. When she entered the house, she wanted to lie down on the ground.
I had just made the bed and was lying down when there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door and saw the familiar tall man, Gao Fei rolled his eyes in his heart, until he saw the Band-Aid handed to him, he was stunned for a moment.
She looked at the man carefully again and found that even when he was doing a good deed, he still had the same look in his eyes.
Gao Fei realized one thing belatedly: this person might not be looking down on her, but was just born with a fish eye.
I felt that I had misunderstood.
She thanked him, pricked the blister and applied the patch, then almost fell asleep on the bed.
Two days later, Gao Fei learned the man's name, Chu Wensu.
Gao Fei looked at Yan Yilu, whose body was restrained by the neat military uniform. Although he looked cold, he had a kind heart. Inspiration gradually came to his mind.
She did not observe the other soldiers, but instead focused all her attention on Chu Wensu and boldly asked questions.
Chu Wensu would answer most questions honestly, but would keep silent when he encountered something he didn't want to say.
Later, Gao Fei summed up a rule: any place involving the family is a minefield.
So she gradually focused the problem on daily training and the surrounding environment. The soldiers often saw the two of them walking together, one in front and one behind, with Gao Fei writing and drawing in a notebook.
"Is the battalion commander going to make his mark?" The soldiers couldn't help but gossip privately.
Chu Wensu was in his thirties, a time when men were indeed strong and prosperous. However, he had no family and lived in a remote area where lesbians were uncommon. Everyone worried that he would remain single.
This time, a female screenwriter came to the capital, and everyone was surrounding Captain Chu. No one said anything on the surface, but they wished they had a pair of eyes on their backs.
"I mean to ask some questions." Someone answered.
As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on his face. "We forgot to ask you, what happened when the car broke down that day?"
Being stared at by so many eyes, the man had no choice but to speak the truth.
The others' eyes lit up as they listened. "The battalion commander volunteered to carry that female comrade?"
"She was carrying a lot of luggage, and it was already very late." The man scratched the back of his head. "The battalion commander must be afraid that he wouldn't be able to arrive before dark."
But these words were ignored by everyone else. Everyone was immersed in the relief that the battalion commander had come to his senses.
Gao Fei is not really stupid. Although she has never been in love, as a literary and artistic worker, she is very sensitive to emotions.
Noticing that everyone looked at her and Chu Wensu with strange eyes, she thought carefully about what she had done in the past few days and felt extremely upset.
Fortunately, she had a good understanding of the outside world, and she gradually began to distance herself from Chu Wensu. She seemed to have noticed this as well, and the two of them kept their distance tacitly.
It was a rare cool day, and Gao Fei learned that the troops were going to drive to the town to get supplies. He wanted to go get the letter, so he went to tell them specifically.
When she got in the car the next day, she found out that the driver was Chu Wensu. There was no third person in the car except them.
This was the first time the two had been so close since they had avoided each other, but they didn't speak.
Not sure if it was Gao Fei's illusion, but Chu Wensu glanced around her, as if to confirm whether she had any luggage.
When she was in her twenties, there were many people pursuing Gao Fei in Beijing. It would be a lie to say that she didn't notice anything.
What's strange is that she is now in her thirties, but she still feels uncomfortable because of Chu Wensu's gaze on her.
Soon, we arrived in town.
Gao Fei took the letter. As usual, his mother expressed her concern in the letter. In a foreign place, these nagging words seemed to have shed the previous annoyance and turned into a warm current flowing into his heart.
In the letter, Gao's mother urged her to go back as soon as possible. She was a very traditional woman and believed that her daughter must get married and have children.
Gao Fei had heard these teachings countless times. He glanced at them and put the letter in his arms.
This small border town was remote, yet possessed a certain regional character. Gao Fei was starving, but she wasn't used to the food here. She ate a couple of quick meals and then left to return to the agreed location.
Chu Wenzhou was leaning against the car, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had the seriousness of a soldier and an unconcealable masculine charm. He opened the car door only when he saw Gao Fei coming.
Gao Fei walked around to the passenger seat, stepped on the pedal and prepared to get in the car, but when he looked at the things on the seat, he froze in place.
It was an aluminum lunch box.
"You may not be used to the taste of the food here, but there is one restaurant that tastes okay." Chu Wensu turned his head and explained.
Gao Fei didn't move yet, staring at the lunch box.
Chu Wensu said, "I've never used a lunch box."
