Qiu Miao: General Gu, please think carefully about whether you want to confess your feelings to me.
Qiu Yanping ate until he was full at the snack street. It was the time to feel sleepy in the afternoon, not to mention he had just eaten and drunk enough. Qiu Yanping was so sleepy that he wanted to find a place to relax, but he was unfamiliar with the place and had to wait for Fang Yun to send them information. Qiu Yanping could only follow Gu Wenye with his eyes open and without focus.
"If Mr. Qiu is tired, why don't we get a room so that he can have a rest for a while?" Gu Wenye noticed Qiu Yanping's slow pace, so he stopped and asked.
Qiu Yanping widened his eyes again and said, "It's okay. It's not worth it to book a room just for a nap. Moreover, we have to wait for the data sent by Fang Yun and others. When the data arrives, we will be ready to move. There is no need to waste a room." It can be said that he is very frugal. After a few seconds, he asked again, "What should we do now?"
Gu Wenye thought for a moment and said, "This should be Mr. Qiu's first time in Star City. How about I take Mr. Qiu for a ride around? Let's sit on the floating boat." He asked Qiu Yanping for his opinion. When Qiu Yanping heard that there was no need for him to walk by himself, he agreed.
Gu Wenye drove the floating boat over and originally wanted to pull Qiu Yanping up, but Qiu Yanping pushed him. Qiu Yanping imitated Gu Wenye's way and stepped forward with his long legs. He also got up easily, without the previous silly way of using both hands and feet. Qiu Yanping thought that it was bad enough that he couldn't drive, but it was really embarrassing to have to rely on a man to help him get into the car.
Seeing this, Gu Wenye smiled slightly and reminded Qiu Yanping to remember to wear a safety helmet. Qiu Yanping nodded and also reminded Gu Wenye to pay attention to the speed.
Gu Wenye coughed lightly to indicate that he understood.
Qiu Yanping first half-hugged Gu Wenye's waist, and after driving for a while, he found that General Gu really slowed down the car this time and was swaying slowly. Even the height of the car suspended in the air was the minimum height stipulated in the Interstellar Vehicle Regulations. He breathed a sigh of relief and changed from hugging to pulling. He pulled the buckle on Gu Wenye's waist, leaned back and relaxed, feeling the breeze on his face, feeling very comfortable.
Qiu Yanping half-closed his eyes, which closed as the wind blew. He lowered his head and dozed off from time to time. Gu Wenye saw Qiu Yanping like this in the rearview mirror, chuckled and shook his head. He knew that Qiu Yanping must want to sleep.
He drove Qiu Yanping slowly towards the beach. He wanted to hang on the beach so that when Qiu Yanping almost woke up, he could see the sunset. It sounded very romantic just thinking about it.
The romance of the elderly.
But he soon found that his Mr. Qiu was a very demanding man. Perhaps he was used to the slight left-right swaying of the floating boat when Gu Wenye stopped, and Qiu Yanping soon moved twice out of habit, showing signs of waking up. Gu Wenye noticed and had to restart the engine, and then drove back and forth on the beach with the person taking a nap in the back.
There were quite a few tourists on the beach. The driver was driving people back and forth on the beach without changing his expression.
So that day, all the tourists on the beach noticed a silver-white floating boat, which was swaying slowly and leisurely in front of them at a very low altitude and at a very slow speed. This looked particularly strange against the backdrop of the ocean where there were exciting attractions such as the speeding boat behind them.
——When they later learned that the driver who was driving so slowly that they wanted to curse him was their General Gu, everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone: General Gu, what are you doing?
General Gu: I’m trying to coax my wife Goose to sleep.
Crowd: Food.
Qiu Yanping woke up from a good sleep, wiped his face to calm down, and saw that they were surrounded by people. Qiu Yanping was shocked and thought that Gu Wenye's identity was exposed again.
"Is Mr. Qiu awake?" Gu Wenye turned around to take a look. He finally stopped the floating boat and found an open space to land. "Mr. Qiu woke up just as we arrived at this beach. The sun is about to set soon, and many people here are waiting to see this view."
Qiu Yanping said "Oh" and nodded. It turned out that so many people gathered here to watch the sunset.
"I didn't expect that watching the sunset is an enduring pleasure no matter what time it is." Qiu Yanping was quite emotional. He thought that the romance that was popular in his era was no longer popular in this world, but he didn't expect that it is still highly respected.
Gu Wenye tilted his head and looked at Qiu Yanping with some confusion. No matter when?
He thought for a moment and explained, "Well, because the atmosphere above Star City is the weakest, the scenery when the sun sets is particularly unique, so this is one of the most famous viewing spots in Star City."
"Oh, I see." Qiu Yanping actually didn't quite understand the connection between the weakening of the atmosphere and the sunset, but nodding and pretending to understand was enough for him at this moment.
Qiu Yanping was about to ask Fang Yun if he had sent the information over when he heard Gu Wenye whisper, "Mr. Qiu, pay attention."
Qiu Yanping fell silent. He quietly looked at the setting sun in the sky in the direction that Gu Wenye pointed. The round sun began to set. Qiu Yanping squinted his eyes slightly, like salted egg yolks.
As the speed of descent gradually increased, circles of strange-colored halos spread out, and for a moment the sea and sky lost their color.
Qiu Yanping took a deep breath. This kind of scenery was not what he was used to seeing. "It's really beautiful," he said softly.
Gu Wenye smiled and looked at Qiu Yanping. Beside them, couples were kissing against this backdrop. I don't know when, the sunset at the seaside of Star City became the place where couples prayed for a long-lasting love, just like the top of the Ferris wheel.
Gu Wenye said softly, "Does Mr. Qiu like it?"
"Who wouldn't like this kind of scenery?" Qiu Yanping smiled and asked, "Thank you, General Gu. If it weren't for General Gu, I wouldn't have known about this place."
"As long as Mr. Qiu likes it," Gu Wenye said, "I often travel around for work, so I know a lot of rare places. The scenery in those places is also beautiful and there are not many people. If Mr. Qiu is interested, I will take Mr. Qiu there in the future."
Qiu Yanping responded with a smile, crooked his eyes, and said teasingly, "General Gu, are you inviting me to a date?"
Gu Wenye was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Then I should be more formal." He took off his mask and hat, revealing a pair of beautiful obsidian-like black eyes. He looked at Qiu Yanping tenderly and asked, "Mr. Qiu, are you willing?"
Qiu Yanping took a deep breath and thought, isn't it just asking him out to play? Why is he releasing a hormone bomb? It's very destructive.
Before Qiu Yanping could make any response, he heard waves of inhalation around him. Qiu Yanping's face turned dark and he quickly snatched the mask from Gu Wenye's hand and put it on Gu Wenye without any gentleness. He casually put the black duckbill cap on Gu Wenye's head, buckling it crookedly, which was not in line with Gu Wenye's style at all. He said in a rough voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, who told you to take off the mask and cap, have you been discovered?" As he spoke, he put on his safety helmet unconsciously and put his hands on Gu Wenye's waist, "Drive faster." - They were going to race, and Qiu Yanping had to hold General Gu's waist tightly.
Gu Wenye laughed. Without saying anything, he stepped on the accelerator and flew out with a whoosh, leaving behind a group of tourists who were unable to react.
After a while, the entire beach exploded.
"What the hell, was it General Gu just now? General Gu has a boyfriend?!"
"Nonsense, she's still in the pursuit stage! Didn't you hear General Gu just sent out a date request? And the way he addressed her was so unfamiliar and distant!"
"What kind of idiot would refuse a date with General Gu?! It will definitely be done once the date is concluded!"
"No, why do I feel that this title has a kind of interesting feeling... Emmmm, maybe it has already been a long time?"
"Oh my, why was my cabbage pushed away by... another cabbage? Oh my!"
"The other cabbage looks like it's of good quality, too."
"The good cabbage has been digested internally, and what's left is the pig..."
"……" This is really heartbreaking. Who is the pig?
"So, General Gu is coming out to the public now!"
“Aaaaaaah!”
Qiu Yanping hugged Gu Wenye's waist, thinking about what Gu Wenye meant by that sentence. He pouted, thinking a little depressedly, why every time he felt that Gu Wenye had left him or confessed his love, there were always these people who would interrupt him.
"bite--"
"bite--"
Qiu Yanping collected his thoughts and listened to the unfamiliar ringtone. He looked around before realizing that it was the notification tone from the computer on his wrist.
No matter what he was saying, there was always something or someone interrupting him.
Qiu Yanping curled his lips, signaling Gu Wenye to slow down, and then turned on the computer. Fang Yun's secretary had sent the sorted data over. There was a lot of information. Qiu Yanping flipped through it one by one and found the list of on-site employees who participated in the construction project and the list of deaths in the accident.
The accident was initially determined to be due to the distraction of the crane operator, which caused the hook to loosen before it reached the center point that was completely aligned with the building, resulting in the column falling unsteadily, injuring and killing many people on site.
The operators of the crane were a pair of twin brothers. They disappeared after the accident and no one has found their whereabouts until now.
Qiu Yanping motioned to Gu Wenye to look at the photo, "Does she look like Mrs. Bathgate?"
Gu Wenye frowned and said hesitantly, "But the interstellar citizen information collection data shows that Mrs. Bathgate has no children..."
"Is it possible that there was an error in the data collection?" Qiu Yanping asked.
Gu Wenye shook his head, "All babies born must go through the data collection, otherwise their future medical care and other benefits will not be guaranteed. No one will choose to escape the data collection."
The welfare threshold of the Star Interstellar is closely linked to information collection, leaving no room for slackness. This is also because of the population explosion at the beginning of the Star Interstellar, and they had to control the birth of the population.
