Su Nian opened the plastic bag and took out apples and cucumbers to share with everyone. "These noodles are too salty. Eat some fruit to balance it out!"
The driver, Xiaochi, took a big bite of the cucumber, and the unique aroma of cucumber filled the car. "Let's eat quickly, otherwise Chief of Staff Liu will come and say something weird!"
Chu Beichen shook his head: "This person is really indescribable!"
Su Nian comforted everyone: "It's okay, just send her to Dunhuang!"
The three of them shared the fruit and drank some water before Liu Yi slowly walked over. The people in the car deliberately ignored her, which made her angry and resentful.
The car rushed into the vast Gobi Desert again. A strong wind blew in the afternoon, and the big poplars on the roadside were bent. Su Nian closed the car window tightly. From time to time, small stones were blown up by the wind and hit the window with a clatter.
"Beichen, will this car be blown over by the wind?" Su Nian shrank back and asked Chu Beichen in a low voice.
Chu Beichen looked towards the front row and saw Xiao Chi driving without looking away. Liu Yi was bored and fell asleep on the seat again.
Chu Beichen quietly reached out and hugged Su Nian. This was the first time he took the initiative. There was a strong wind outside, and Su Nian must be very scared!
"No, the car will be fine with me in it!" Chu Beichen leaned close to Su Nian's ear and whispered in comfort.
Chu Beichen's big hand was warm and was placed on Su Nian's waist, but Chu Beichen's hand was very honest, just pressing on her waist without any further movement, which meant that his action was just to comfort her. Su Nian did not pull his hand away and silently accepted Chu Beichen's kindness.
The driver was very experienced. Despite the bad weather, he managed to enter Dunhuang City before dark.
Liu Yi became lively again: "Captain Chu, my parents are here, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Chu Beichen shook his head: "Staff Officer Liu, we'll only stay in Dunhuang for one day. You should go stay with your parents! We'll part ways here!"
Liu Yi was unhappy: "How can we separate? If we separate, how will my parents get back to the base?"
Chu Beichen said patiently: "Actually, my transfer order has already arrived, and the departure procedures have been completed. I will board the train directly from Dunhuang Railway Station, and I will not be going the same way as you!"
Liu Yi was stunned: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Su Nian interrupted: "You didn't ask!"
Liu Yi got out of the car feeling aggrieved, looked at Su Nian, then at Chu Beichen, his eyes moving around, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chu Beichen felt that Liu Yi was very clingy, so he signaled Xiao Chi to drive quickly. He was not a savior, they were just colleagues, and he had done his best by doing this!
Xiaochi drove straight to the Dunhuang Hotel. It was February and the weather was still cold. There were not many tourists in Dunhuang, so they didn't make a reservation and they all checked into the hotel smoothly.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. Xiao Chi was tired from driving and just wanted to sleep after eating. He said goodbye to Chu Beichen and Su Nian early and went straight to the room.
"Come on, I'll take you to the night market!" Chu Beichen found a coat, put it on Su Nian, and wrapped her face with a scarf.
Su Nian clumsily walked to the mirror and found that the person in the mirror had been wrapped up like a little bear.
"Beichen, is it that cold outside?" She grabbed her scarf with her hands, "I can't breathe!"
Chu Beichen quickly stopped her: "Don't move, if you want to go to the night market, you need this outfit!"
Su Nian could only pull Chu Beichen and stagger out of the restaurant. As soon as they walked out, a cold wind blew in their faces. Su Nian suddenly felt that she was blown through by this cold wind from inside to outside!
"Oh, it's so cold!"
