Chapter 803: We'll be together even if it means death!
Upon entering the base, Gu Yin was led to a conference room where the base's leaders were seated. The conference room screen displayed Cheng Dong, who was conducting research in Dabai Mountain. There was no one else around.
Gu Yin looked puzzled: "Commander, is there some experiment that requires my help?"
Then he looked at the screen and said, "Teacher."
The two nodded, and the leader spoke first: "We called you over not because we have an experiment that we need you to do. Of course, we have always hoped that you would graduate early and come here, but your teacher is not willing. He said that you need to settle down and develop your skills. But even if he is trying to hide it, he still has to hand you over."
Gu Yin was still puzzled. What did this mean? Not Base 101? Then where was it?
Cheng Dong then spoke up: "Remember what happened at Harbin University? The higher-ups are launching a project about future space warfare. Your talent has caught their attention, and they think you can join. So they asked us to let you know in advance. In an hour, you and the commander will be secretly heading to the base. I'll go there after I finish what I'm doing here."
Space war? At this time? Gu Yin frowned. Before she died in her previous life, there seemed to be such a project circulating online, but at that time everyone said it was a game and not real. Given the current situation, it means that the project was started and developed more than ten years ago. By the time the news appeared online, it was already almost ready!
"Earth's resources can no longer meet the needs of human development. All countries are vying to enter space. Our country did not join the International Space Station before, and we did not receive any technology sharing and were even restricted. But we have never been discouraged. It's okay not to join. If we don't have a space station, then we will build our own! We not only need our own space fighters, but also our own space carriers! The battlefield of the future will never be on the ground, but in the sky! We don't know when this plan will succeed. Although it has been underway for a year, there will be many difficulties ahead. Once you enter, you can't easily come out. It could be four or five years, it could be more than ten years, it could be most of your life. Are you prepared?"
Cheng Dong's questions weren't just simple questions. Gu Yin was still young, unlike the older folks. Besides, she loved money and probably preferred the ordinary life of everyday people, getting married, having children, and having a happy family. Judging from her past behavior, she was indeed the kind of person who was quite attached to home.
Gu Yin thought of many things: her family, Chu Yan, 001, and her own experiments.
"001, if I join this plan, will you be discovered?"
001 shook her head: "No, there might be unexpected gains."
With Gu Shu and the others at home, and Gu Le by her side, Gu Yin doesn't have much to worry about. But things might be a bit difficult for Chu Yan.
"Can I make a phone call?" Her phone had been taken away after she came in, and she wasn't sure if Chu Yan had seen her message. She decided to make one more call before going in.
The commander nodded: "Okay, but we have to fight here. That's the rule, you know that."
Knowing about the confidentiality agreement, Gu Yin didn't hesitate.
After the others brought the phone over, Gu Yin turned it on and immediately called Chu Yan.
The call was answered almost immediately after the first ring.
"Ayin, I saw your message. I'm at your house now." Chu Yan seemed to realize that things were not simple, so he kept it brief.
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "You've returned to China?"
“I was at the airport when you called me. I saw your message as soon as I got off the plane. I called back but your phone was off, so I came home. My uncle and aunt also happened to be back. We told them about it. Are you okay? We support whatever decision you make. Your safety is the most important thing!”
Chu Yan was unaware of what had happened and assumed that Gu Yin's experiment had been discovered.
Gu Yin squeezed her phone, thinking for a long time, though it had only taken a minute, but she found it difficult to make a decision.
Chu Yan noticed her predicament and said gently, "I will support whatever decision you make, except leaving me."
Gu Yin: "...I, I have to go on a mission. The time is uncertain. The shortest time may be ten years, and the longest time is unknown."
"When, now?" Chu Yan immediately stood up upon hearing this.
He looked at Gu Qinglang beside him and said, "Uncle, could you please go and get your family's household registration book? Please be quick, thank you."
Gu Qinglang was bewildered, but seeing how anxious he was, he didn't ask any questions and immediately ran to get it.
After instructing Gu Qinglang, Chu Yan asked again, "Can you still come out?"
Gu Yin knew his plan in an instant, and her previously hesitant heart immediately calmed down: "Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Chu Yan took the household registration booklet that Gu Qinglang handed him and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to be with you when I die, and that your name won't be on my tombstone. You're so smart, you're sure to achieve great things. Could you make a request to the higher-ups later, that we be buried together? I don't want to be separated from you, not even in death. And you shouldn't think about giving up on me. Even if we never see each other again in this life, you'll still be my wife! Also, you're still a little short of 20, but according to the year, you're already over 20, and if we're talking about the lunar age, you're even older. So, could you make an exception?"
When the Gu family heard him say this, they all knew that Gu Yin's mission this time was so important that they might never see her again in their lifetime.
I felt sad all of a sudden, but I also understood.
Gu Qinglang loved his daughter, but he couldn't bear to let someone else's son wait in vain. He pursed his lips and said, "Ayan, do you want to discuss this with your family? After all, it's such a big deal."
"Uncle, no need. I can make this decision, and my family will support me."
Seeing his reaction, Gu Qinglang didn't know what to say.
"Ayin, can you come out? It's just to get the marriage certificate, it won't take long." Gu Yin didn't respond, and Chu Yan was a little worried.
The phone was on speakerphone the whole time, so the two of them heard what Chu Yan said.
Gu Yin looked at the leader, who checked the time and nodded: "Have him go to your courtyard house. We'll meet there. I'll have someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau bring the necessary documents and process your application directly. We'll get the certificate for you first, but it won't be uploaded to the system yet. When it's Gu Yin's birthday, have him go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get it done." The courtyard house is closer, which will save time.
Chu Yan heard this too and immediately said, "I'm coming right away! Wait for me!"
Gu Yin also quickly took a car back.
After Gu Yin left, the leader shook his head with a smile: "Why are you still a little touched? Hahaha, but I hope that kid from the Chu family won't regret it. It's not like we won't see each other for a year or two."
Cheng Dong snorted: "If he dares to regret doing something to betray A Yin, I'll kill him. But this kid is still trustworthy. Although they are young, their relationship is very strong. You don't need to worry about him. You go ahead first. Remember to take good care of A Yin. This child has a very stubborn temper. I'm afraid that if a fight breaks out, others will suffer. Keep an eye on her."
The leader snorted: "She's one of our 101 people, so I have to keep an eye on her. Anyone who dares to bully her will have to get past me first! We're not pushovers! Besides, those people from the Gobi Desert have come out too, haven't they? Your eldest apprentice and Xiaosheng are there too. Ayin is his savior, so don't worry. The old guys aren't that bad-tempered!"
Cheng Dong wasn't entirely at ease, mainly because Gu Yin was young. Many young people are naturally defiant and will likely be sidelined at first. He worried that Gu Yin's temper would lead her to confront the situation head-on, and things might get complicated then.
Gu Yin was unaware of her teacher's worries. When they arrived at the courtyard, everyone from the Gu family, except for Chu Yan, was there, as were the four patriarchs of the Chu family.
Gu Yin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had abducted someone's son and occupied the position of daughter-in-law, but she could not see him for many years.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Chu smiled and stepped forward to lead her inside: "Today is a joyous day, don't overthink it. No matter what Ayan does, we will support him. Besides, we've been family for a long time! You can focus on your work. I'll keep an eye on Ayan and make sure he doesn't do anything to betray you! Just be careful, you're still young, so take good care of yourself and don't worry us."
Speaking of this, Grandma Chu felt sad. She was happy and proud to have such a capable granddaughter-in-law, but at the same time, she felt particularly sorry for her. At her age, while others were traveling abroad and shopping everywhere, A-Yin was nowhere to be found and isolated from the world!
Even though Chu Yan didn't say anything, they all knew about it.
"Time is of the essence, Comrade Zhou, let's hurry." The person next to him urged.
Upon hearing this, the others who were about to speak immediately told the two to go change their clothes.
“Time is tight, and we haven’t had time to prepare formal attire. It’s not appropriate for this time of year either. Let’s just go with the normal style and wear white shirts, okay?” Chu Yan took out the prepared shirt. Although it was simple, Gu Yin could tell it was different just by touching the fabric.
"Can."
After changing into a shirt, Gu Yin only applied a little lipstick; she didn't need to do any makeup. The two of them sat down and started taking photos.
She's naturally beautiful; even simple photos of her look extraordinary.
The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were very efficient and finished everything in no time. Gu Yin and Chu Yan didn't even have time to look at their brand-new marriage certificate before everyone pulled them aside to take photos, like a family portrait.
Half an hour later, everyone watched Gu Yin get into the car and drive away, their eyes filled with reluctance. But they also knew that the day they would reunite would be the day when their motherland was even stronger!
