She walked side by side with Gao Zheng, then moved her arms, hesitated for a moment, mustered up her courage, and grabbed Gao Zheng's arms with both hands.
It was so dark and she was very tired. Gao Zheng had long legs and walked so fast that she was afraid that she would not be able to keep up and be left behind by Gao Zheng.
Holding him, I feel safe.
Gao Zheng was only wearing a thin black shirt. He suddenly felt the girl's soft and innocent little hand grabbing his shirt sleeve.
Then, I touched his strong arm.
His body suddenly tensed.
She...what is she going to do?
Tang Jingyue was afraid that he would throw her off, so she said softly, "Let me hold on for a while, I'm scared."
Hearing the girl's cautious voice, Gao Zheng finally did not break free and let her hold his arm.
Afraid that she would not move, he slowed down his pace, and the two of them walked on the deserted road.
Tang Jingyue grabbed his arm, and their bodies were so close that she could even smell the fragrant soap coming from him.
Gao Zheng didn't seem to smoke. There was no smell of tobacco on his body, only a faint fragrance.
I didn't expect that he, a soldier, would smell so good.
Tang Jingyue just held him like this, and gradually, she forgot the tiredness, the fatigue, and even the fear.
There is only satisfaction and happiness in my heart.
She didn't even expect her family to come and pick them up.
It would be so nice if we could just keep going like this.
This is how life goes on all my life.
The two of them walked leisurely for about an hour.
I saw car lights ahead, getting closer and closer.
The two stopped and stood on the side of the road.
Gao Zheng said, "That should be the car that picked us up."
Gao Zheng was afraid that the car would miss him, so he stood in the middle of the road and waved vigorously at the approaching vehicles.
The car stopped two meters away from them.
"Jingyue."
It was Tang Jianye's anxious voice.
Tang Jingyue quickly responded, "Dad."
Tang Jianye got out of the car, along with two young men.
Under the light of the car lights, Tang Jianye recognized the man standing next to Tang Jingyue.
He walked up to them and asked in surprise, "Xiao Zheng, why are you with Jing Yue?"
Gao Zheng said, "Brother Jianye, let's talk later."
"Where's the car?"
Tang Jianye asked.
Gao Zheng explained, "We dumped the car on the road, and we couldn't wait for you to come to rescue us, so we walked here."
"How long have you two been together?"
"It's been more than an hour, he should be drunk."
"Well, let's get in the car now that we're here. Let's drive across the road first. Let Xiao Huang and Xiao Liu fill up the gas and drive the car. It's not safe to leave the car on the road at night."
Tang Jianye was worried about leaving his beloved car on the road late at night.
If he was dragged away overnight, he would be heartbroken.
So Gao Zheng and Tang Jingyue got in the car together.
Zhe Xi opened Santana.
This car was not Tang Jianye's, but a van he borrowed from someone else. He called two fast drivers from the driver's office to come over, fetch some gasoline, and keep him company.
Tang Jingyue sat in the car and asked, "Dad, I sent a pager message to Xiaomin a few hours ago. Didn't she tell you?"
"Don't mention it."
Tang Jianye sighed, "Xiao Min had an exam today, and she turned off her pager in class. After the exam, when she got home from school in the afternoon, she found the pager you sent her, and then she hurriedly called me, but my call didn't go through, so she rode her motorcycle to my house to look for me.
It has been delayed until now.
Xiao Min was very worried and wanted to come with me, but I didn't let her.
This place is quite far away. It’s so dark and raining, I’m afraid the road is not safe.”
"That's really unfortunate. I called you but the call didn't go through."
Tang Jingyue's tone did not sound any complaints or displeasure, on the contrary...
Very pleasant.
