"What do you want?"
"I don't know either, you'll find out when you get there," Zhang Da said meaningfully.
Su Li stood up and followed Zhang Da.
When they arrived at Gu Huanian's tent, he was waiting outside the door.
Looking at the tall man in front of her, Su Li thought to herself, "He's so handsome! It's just that his face is always so cold, which makes him hard to like."
"Battalion Commander Gu, you were looking for me?"
The man's eyes were dark and fixed on Su Li. "I can stay here for five more days. After five days, I will return to Beijing."
"Does that mean we won't have to go up the mountain to cook in five days?"
Gu Huanian didn't expect that she only focused on this point. Didn't she feel any reluctance when he left?
"Is that all you're interested in?"
Su Li; "?"
Otherwise, what else would she care about?
"Well, I'm leaving in five days. Aren't you going to ask me if I'll be back?"
Su Li; "......."
Whether he comes back or not is none of her business.
But since they'd already asked, she just went through the motions; "So when are you coming back?"
"Next April, when the weather warms up, the mines here will continue operating for a few more months."
"oh"
Gu Huanian was even angrier when she simply replied with an "oh".
Su Li has absolutely no feelings for him. What if someone takes a liking to her while he's been away for the past few months?
For the first time in his twenty-five years, he felt the pangs of longing for a woman. Her image filled his nights, and he didn't want to continue this one-sided love forever.
But confessing now would be too abrupt, and judging from her expression, she wouldn't agree.
This matter needs to be considered carefully.
Seeing that the man hadn't spoken for a long time and his eyes were devoid of emotion, Su Li broke the silence and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"etc"
"Battalion Commander Gu, is there anything else?"
"Shall we go pick some more nuts?"
Su Li's eyes lit up; "Do you know where else there are nut trees?"
"Yes, I saw it yesterday when I was walking around in the mountains."
He already knew, but he just wanted to spend more time alone with her.
The two arrived at the nut spot Gu Huanian had mentioned, which was still red pine.
Having learned from his previous experience, he picked the snakes quickly this time. However, as Gu Huanian was climbing down the tree, he caught a glimpse of a small green snake near Su Li's feet.
It was a bamboo viper, and Gu Huanian's heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly.
"Su Li, there's a snake near your feet, get away!"
