Chapter 209 Southbound CP
Rainy season.
There was a faint sense of farewell in the air.
Nanqiao had already met fifteen blind dates early in the morning, and the last one was said to be a university professor.
Dewdrops slid down through the thick glass, leaving traces one after another. In the rain, a man in a gray suit and holding a black umbrella strode into the cafe. Nanqiao guessed that this should be the last blind date of the day.
Sure enough, the man in the gray suit saw Nanqiao in the photo and walked over with a gentle smile on his face. He extended his hand warmly and politely, "Hello, Miss Nanqiao. I'm Ye Xinzhi, a professor of economics at the University of Finance and Economics."
Nanqiao looked at him for half a second. Ye Xinzhi was tall, his suit fit him well, and he exuded a scholarly air, indicating he was very knowledgeable and talented.
She shook his hand back, only for a second before letting go. "Hello, Mr. Ye, please sit down."
There was a few seconds of silence in the air. The waiter came over and Ye Xinzhi said calmly, "Give me a glass of lemonade, thank you."
Nanqiao lowered his eyes and stirred the coffee, disrupting the beautiful heart-shaped latte art, revealing a well-defined face.
"Miss Nan, are you still running the bar now?"
She looked up and said, "I took the war correspondent certification exam."
Ye Xinzhi was slightly taken aback. The two professions were very different. He stared into her almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to hold many stories. "Why do you want to get a journalist's license? I heard from Master Nan that you studied design before."
"I took the exam when I wanted to, and I got in by accident." Nanqiao returned to the point, "Professors like you should all like women with civil service positions, right? My profession is actually not suitable for me. I'm quite surprised you came."
He read many of Nan Qiao's thoughts and asked, "Miss Nan, are you here today to complete a mission?"
She didn't think Ye Xinzhi's words were inappropriate now. "Yes, complete the mission. I'm only 27 years old and there are still many places I haven't visited. I don't think we are suitable for each other, so let's forget it, right?"
He leaned back in his chair, the corners of his lips twitching. "I'm two years older than you, and my family knows everything about you. I think we can actually give it a try. At least you're not with the person you love yet, so you can give yourself a chance."
Nanqiao's worries were once again exposed, like a dead fish exposed to the air.
"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry."
Ye Xinzhi thought Nan Qiao would at least agree to give it a try because he knew the person she liked.
They were sworn enemies in high school, but he was not a hypocrite. As the ancients said: A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream.
"Okay, now that we've met today, we can be considered acquaintances. From now on, Miss Nan can come to me if you have any questions."
"Thanks."
Ye Xinzhi wasn't being difficult. He left after she rejected him. Nan Qiao sat in the cafe until dusk, and as she was about to leave, she received a call from the Nan mothers. "Qiaoqiao, are any of the 16 blind dates you went on today interested in? My favorite is Xinzhi from your aunt Ye's family. He's a university professor and a nice guy, better than a soldier."
Nanqiao held her heart tightly. The three words "soldier" were like a blade, cutting through her skin.
Three years ago. (Inserted from Chapter 52)
Shencheng Army Special Forces Corps, northern Myanmar border.
She was still a young man at that time, with a buzz cut. The biggest difference in her figure from now was that she was wearing a bra. Everyone in the team thought she was a man.
Nan Qiao followed his leader Tan Wei to the army as a war correspondent.
She had only met Gu Jingxing briefly a few times, and each time they ended on bad terms. However, he was like a seed that sprouted, blossomed, and even bore fruit quietly in her heart.
The sentry saw two reporters coming to report. They were wearing simple white shirts and light blue jeans, with the latest cameras hanging around their necks. Nan Qiao couldn't help but look inside.
He glanced sharply at Nanqiao and reminded them, "Everyone in the team has gone on a mission and hasn't returned yet. I'll have the instructor come out to pick you up first."
Tan Wei has been transferred from one place to another in the army and is very knowledgeable. She looks down on Nan Qiao, who is curious about joining the army for the first time. Relying on his powerful background, she follows him to learn. Her ancestors are really lucky.
"Young man at the sentry post, this is because my colleague is ignorant. Please don't mind."
Nanqiao, "......"
At this time.
Instructor Liang Ge hurried out, dressed in a formal military uniform. He saluted the two men and said in a clear voice, "Captain Gu and his company are currently patrolling the border and won't be back until tonight. If you want to interview and film, we can work out a plan first and then have Captain Gu review it when he returns."
When Nanqiao heard the name "Captain Gu", she felt cheerful and completely forgot about Tan Wei's expression. She smiled and said, "Then please ask the instructor to take us inside to put down our things first."
The instructor touched his head embarrassedly, quickly took the two people's suitcases, and pushed them inside.
While introducing their daily life, "This is the training ground. We usually train here. That is the cafeteria. There are special chefs to cook. This is the dormitory. Follow me."
The superior informed Liang Ge that two reporters were coming. Liang Ge thought that since they were a man and a woman, he should stay in separate rooms.
Nanqiao and the men in the army were simply arranged to live in the dormitory on the left, while Tan Wei and the female logistics soldiers lived in the dormitory on the right.
After Nanqiao entered the dormitory, he quickly packed his things and waited from noon to evening.
As the sun set, an armored vehicle arrogantly drove into the army. The sentry blew a horn, which was the sound of a safe return. Nanqiao rushed out, his hair dancing in the air.
The car door opened, and male soldiers jumped out one after another. Their faces were covered in camouflage, and it was impossible to tell who was who. After getting off the car, they gathered into two rows. Gu Jingxing stood in front of the team and said in a deep voice, "Stand at attention! Look to the right! Look forward!"
His gaze was directed forward, but two unfamiliar figures were floating behind him.
Gu Jingxing knew that his superiors had sent two war correspondents here to report the news. He frowned and said, "Disband!"
Instructor Liang Ge stepped forward and saluted, "Captain Gu, these two are reporters."
Nan Qiao and Tan Wei walked up to him and introduced themselves first. Gu Jingxing looked at her with a different expression. At first glance, they were bar waitresses, but in the blink of an eye, they were war reporters.
"I'm Gu Jingxing."
He was wearing a righteous camouflage military uniform, with sharp eyes like an eagle, clear features, a straight figure, and exuding masculine power from head to toe.
Nan Qiao couldn't wait to extend his hand, "Hello Captain Gu, I'm Nan Qiao, the war correspondent for this mission."
Tan Wei extended his hand and introduced himself. Before he could finish his 30-word introduction, he was interrupted by Gu Jingxing, "Liang Ge, have them go to my office in five minutes."
"Yes, Captain Gu."
Tan Wei kept saying to Nan Qiao, "Captain Gu has a strong background. You must not offend him. He's a prominent figure in the imperial city, and his grandfather is the commander. Put your thoughts aside."
Nanqiao didn't refute because she was the leader. Was her intention obvious?
Besides, didn’t Gu Jingxing not recognize her?
The two walked into his office one after the other. In just a few minutes, he had finished taking a shower, changed into a clean shirt and sat in a chair. There was a faint smell of soapberries in the air.
He was already looking at the interview and filming plan for the two of them. After quickly flipping through it, he raised his eyes and looked at Nanqiao seriously again. It was still the slim version. Gu Jingxing said, "There is no problem with this plan. Liang Ge, you cooperate with them."
"Yes, Captain Gu."
The question for the filmed interview was quickly taken up, and there was no point in staying any longer, but he suddenly called out to Nanqiao to stay, and the red painted door of the office was abruptly closed.
From Beijing to Shenzhen.
The total distance is 1,350 kilometers.
Nanqiao's family thought she was crazy. Everyone said that the rebellious period is during adolescence, but her rebellious period came after adulthood.
Gu Jingxing stood up, walked around the mahogany desk, leaned on the edge, looked up and down at her slimming board, and called out in surprise, "Little brother???"
