“…Thank you, Captain Chu.” Gao Fei said sincerely.
As you can imagine, there's nothing good here, but the food is indeed better than in other places in town. After returning home, she washed the lunch box and hesitated whether to return it to him.
If someone else returned her lunch box, she would definitely not accept it, but the conditions here were not good, and Gao Fei was very conflicted.
It made her heart beat faster, and she would unconsciously look for Chu Wensu's figure.
Is it really too long since I last fell in love? Gao Fei wondered doubtfully.
But if she was asked to distance herself from Chu Wensu at this time, she couldn't do it. Influenced by her mother, she also had a sense of destiny. Besides, getting along with Chu Wensu didn't make her feel uncomfortable.
Gao Fei decided to let things take their course. After all, he would be returning home in a week. What seemed like a difficult matter at the moment would, in retrospect, be nothing more than an experience in a few years.
Under constant mental suggestion, her mood gradually calmed down. Subconsciously, she touched her pillow. She had the habit of reading her notebook at all times, so her manuscripts were usually placed under her pillow.
But this time, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the genuine leather notebook.
Gao Fei sat up with a somersault. She searched the small room for a long time but could not find any trace of the manuscript.
She had remembered the inspiration there for a long time!
Gao Fei forced himself to calm down and recall carefully. He remembered that he seemed to have casually put the manuscript into his pocket yesterday, and forgot to take it out when he had dinner today.
She wanted to slap herself twice.
This time, he really couldn't sit still anymore and walked out quickly.
At this time, the training had been completed and the soldiers were walking back in twos and threes. Seeing her so anxious, everyone looked at her curiously.
Gao Fei's eyes swept across one face after another, but he didn't see Chu Wensu.
When she was at a loss, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Why are you standing here?"
Looking back, it was Chu Wensu.
Gao Fei's voice trembled as he spoke, "The manuscript was left in town."
For any writer, recording inspiration in manuscripts is very important. Moreover, I have come all the way to Xinjiang this time. Even if I copy it, I can't remember all the content.
Here, apart from Gao Fei's notebook, Chu Wensu was the most familiar with that one. When he answered Gao Fei's questions, she would always write on it.
It's a very thick notebook, and its importance to her is self-evident.
"Don't panic," Chu Wensu comforted her, "Let's go find it now."
But it turns out that when you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get your teeth stuck.
The jeep was used in the morning and was driven to other troops in the afternoon. There were also several areas outside the border.
The lack of a car meant they had to walk, and even though the daylight hours were long, it was already dark by the time they reached the town.
Wei Qing looked at Chu Wensu. She was conflicted. She was worried that he wouldn't help her, but she also felt that she had no right to ask for such a big favor.
"Let's go." At this time, Chu Wensu spoke.
His tone was matter-of-fact. "Let's walk over there."
Gao Fei's eyes felt a little hot, and he flinched a little, "Won't there be wild wolves on the road?"
"No," Chu Wensu said, "It's relatively flat here. We need to cross the mountains to station our troops there. There are some there."
Having said that, Gao Fei felt no pain and quickly followed Chu Wensu.
The dim sky met the ground. Walking on the road, Gao Fei felt very safe looking at the tall back of Chu Wensu in front of him.
He is different from those vain men.
Gao Fei thought.
It took two hours to walk to the town. The owner of the small shop was cleaning. When he saw her coming, he took the wine out.
He spoke in awkward Mandarin, "I sent him back."
After saying this, he continued with a long string of Tibetan words that Gao Fei could not understand.
Gao Feijing had no time to pay attention to him and quickly opened the book. "Thank God, the manuscript is still there!"
She looked at Chu Wensu, seeing his dusty face, and thinking that she was the same, she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
Chu Wensu said: "He said that a child might have torn a few pages of your manuscript. Take a look."
"Ah?" Gao Fei quickly took it out and opened it. Sure enough, a few pages were missing, and a small piece of paper was still left in the notebook.
Seeing this, the boss continued to speak in words she couldn't understand.
Gao Fei said to Chu Wensu, "Ask where those pages went."
"I can only understand some of it, but I can't speak it." Chu Wensu said.
Gao Fei gave up. She guessed that someone might have taken it. Seeing that there was only paper inside and no valuables, she deliberately tore some of it.
Or maybe the child is naughty.
No matter what the situation is, fortunately not all of it was torn up, except for these few pages... Gao Fei secretly glanced at Chu Wensu. She had just roughly read it and found almost all of his interview content.
There was no place to stay in the town. Chu Wensu had reported this when he first arrived, but that didn't mean he could stay out all night.
He said apologetically, "We can only walk back."
Looking carefully into his eyes, there wasn't a trace of blame in them, and he even looked a little uneasy.
Gao Fei wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh in the end. She hugged herself and said, "It's all my fault for being careless this time. Wensu, thank you."
Unlike before when she always called him Captain Chu, this time she showed an unexpected closeness.
Chu Wensu's pupils trembled slightly, and finally he said, "It doesn't matter."
It was already dark, and the two continued to go back.
But it was different from when she came here. Back then, Gao Fei was very afraid that she would not be able to find the manuscript, so she felt uneasy and uncertain. Although she was tired now, the joy of having lost it and found it again was just as strong.
The wind blew over with dust, and she could hardly open her eyes. She quickened her pace and walked to Chu Wensu, staying close to him.
Chu Wensu turned his head and asked, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
Gao Fei inexplicably wanted to know what he would do if he admitted it.
Since she was curious, she did it, "A little bit."
Chu Wensu squatted down silently.
Gao Fei looked at his broad back, her thoughts drifting far away. She had once had an ambiguous relationship with her husband in college, but walking by the lotus pond a thousand times was not as good as walking in the vast Gobi Desert once.
There was a gleam in her eyes, and she lay down on him without hesitation.
Chu Wensu carried her on his back, and both of them felt the warmth in the cold night.
"Will it be very heavy?" She leaned close to his ear, her breath almost touching his ear.
In the dark night, Chu Wensu looked a little uncomfortable, "It's not heavy."
After a pause, he added, "If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap."
Gao Fei, a screenwriter who has lived in the General Military Region compound since childhood, has won many awards and created countless scripts. He has also written sentimental short stories.
At this moment, she couldn't realize more deeply that perhaps she had really reached the age of settling down.
It's a pity that Yuman is not here, she thought, because Fu Jingchen is not the only good man in the world.
