First update
The sun was shining, the South China Sea was incredibly beautiful, and the wind was calm. Qin Yao and others were allowed to go on deck.
Their sailing speed slowed down as two small fishing boats approached, and the sea breeze carried a salty smell of the sea.
The sky is a light blue, the ground is a colorful blue, so blue that it looks green. When the boat approaches, you can even feel the invisible fishing nets between the boats, entangled with lively fish and shrimps.
Boredom turned into leisure.
The fishing boats belong to the offshore production team. Their boats are small and carry little diesel and fresh water. They come here to exchange fish for fresh water.
Qin Yao saw buckets of sea cucumbers and other unknown sea fish. Theoretically, sea cucumbers will be very valuable in the future, but they are really worthless now. It is said that the comrades guarding the reefs in the South China Sea ate them to the point of tears.
Today the cook on the ship prepared a big pot of braised sea cucumber.
Qin Yao stood by and watched the excitement for a long time, not knowing that she had also become a scenery in the eyes of many people. A young girl in her twenties, with black braids and very fair skin, blowing in the wind, she seemed to be glowing all over.
The atmosphere was conservative at that time, and most gay men didn't dare to look at her directly. They just glanced at her with the corner of their eyes. When their eyes met with another gay man next to them, they coughed to each other and didn't speak to each other.
After exchanging things, we started sailing again. The fishing boats seemed reluctant to leave and threw fish to us enthusiastically.
Qin Yao was standing there watching the fun when she was suddenly hit on the head by a fish.
The fish was still alive. It fell into her arms, jumped up and flicked its tail at her. The wetness and fishy smell of sea fish lingered at the tip of my nose, and I seemed to taste a bit of the salty taste of sea water.
Qin Yao: “!”
Qin Yao looked at the sea fish swinging its tail on the deck and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could this be considered an industrial injury?
A muffled laugh came from behind her. Qin Yao turned her head and caught a glimpse of Gu Cheng in dark blue work clothes.
The dark blue color was a bit dull. Gu Cheng had his back to the others, trying not to smile. He looked more childish than his usual cold expression. Undoubtedly, he had a baby face, or a younger brother's face.
He is obviously very handsome, and his smile looks particularly childish.
Only by keeping a straight face and looking cold can he look like an elite leader.
When Qin Yao saw his smiling face, she cried for help in her heart. Her heart was shamefully moved.
If Gu Cheng had come to her for a blind date in this state, she would never have had the heart to say no.
This is her ideal little brother of the fishing boat company.
Gu Cheng relaxed, put on a mask, bent slightly, and wore a loose ordinary work suit with no other markings. If you didn't look closely at the front, it would be difficult to tell who he was.
Gu Cheng made a gesture to her, and the two of them went to the corner, and he handed Qin Yao a package.
Qin Yao opened it and found canned food, candies and chocolates inside, probably someone's stock.
Qin Yao didn't bother to be polite with him. She peeled a candy and fed it to herself, then peeled another one and fed it to the little brother Gu in front of her.
Gu Cheng frowned slightly, but ate it anyway.
The taste of milk melted in his mouth, and Gu Cheng thought to himself that he was really possessed. He had canned chocolate but no sweet milk candy. He had exchanged this milk candy with someone with a cold face.
Qin Yao's peach blossom eyes curved and she said softly, "Thank you."
"Yaoyao." Gu Cheng said hoarsely, "Let's date."
When he spoke, he did not look at Qin Yao, but turned his head to the side, not knowing where he was looking. There was no expression on his handsome face, but he inadvertently exposed his ears to Qin Yao.
Qin Yao initially thought that his confession lacked sincerity, but the next moment she saw the man's ears turn red, as red as cooked shrimps.
She took small steps forward, tilted her head, walked around to his front, and pulled his arm.
Gu Cheng looked down at him, his face slightly tilted, his expression indifferent and his eyes cold.
Qin Yao couldn't help wanting to laugh. The guy in front of her had a whole face that was hypocritical, except for his ears.
It's so awkward.
Qin Yao resisted the urge to check his favorability.
"I'll think about it." Qin Yao suppressed the urge to agree. It was too unfair for Gu Cheng to confess to her with such an innocent look of little brother Gu.
Her heart was pounding and her head was in a mess. Qin Yao was afraid that she was just being emotional. She liked Gu Cheng like this, but she had no feelings for the cold Captain Gu.
Besides, they really don't know each other well.
Gu Cheng had a cold face and reluctantly said, "How long do you want to consider it? Give me a time limit."
"Then the probation period is three months."
Gu Cheng nodded, and he added in a long tone: "During this period, you are not allowed to agree to go on blind dates with other men."
After saying that, he glared at Qin Yao with a hint of resentment and warning.
A certain Captain Gu doesn't want to receive a third piece of "wedding candy".
Qin Yao nodded, and she asked curiously, "The person that Head Nurse Ge introduced to me that day wasn't you, right?"
"You came here on your own initiative?"
Qin Yao recalled that the entire blind date incident was very strange. Even Head Nurse Ge probably didn't expect to invite Captain Gu to the blind date.
Gu Cheng immediately denied: "No."
Qin Yao turned her head to look at the cabin and said coldly: "I only date honest men."
"……yes."
A mosquito-sized sound rang in Qin Yao's ears.
Qin Yao crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Didn't your instructor teach you to speak loudly?"
When her voice fell, there was silence all around. The sea breeze blew through the hall. It was a sunny day at sea, but it was a little cold. Qin Yao got goose bumps on her arms.
Gu Cheng in front of her was still wearing the dark blue work clothes. His eyes seemed to solidify into substance, flying towards her like knives.
Gu Cheng pressed against the wall of the boat, bent down slightly, trapped Qin Yao in a narrow corner, and gritted his teeth: "Do you know which boat this is on?"
"Who is the instructor? Do you want me to remind you?"
"Don't get carried away by the fact that I like you."
Qin Yao glared at him and said coldly, "It won't take three months. I'll tell you the answer now. Comrade Gu Cheng, you failed the assessment. I won't date you. When we get to the hospital, I'll ask Head Nurse Ge to introduce me to other people. I date several people at a time."
"Other men are much braver. They are not like you, a coward who dares not tell others that he likes me."
Sending a love poem with a cold face is like a guilty thief afraid of being found out.
Qin Yao thought she was doomed. She had decided before that she would not be like her mother and marry a chauvinistic man. She should have firmly rejected Gu Cheng.
But when Gu Cheng came to her with this face to talk about dating, she couldn't control her heart.
"I'll give it back to you." Qin Yao handed him the bag. "Captain Gu, we don't interfere with each other. Don't come and deliberately provoke me in the future."
In addition to these, she returned the candy box and the love poems to Gu Cheng and turned back to the medical room.
If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences.
After doing all these things, Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She was very afraid that she would fall into depravity and continue to be entangled with Gu Cheng. She was not the real eighteen-year-old Qin Yao. She was already twenty-four years old before she traveled through the book and did not have the impulses of a teenager.
She already has many views on marriage and the future, and a man like Gu Cheng is not her ideal marriage choice.
Intellectually, she should firmly reject him, and in front of Head Nurse Ge, she could do so firmly.
But emotionally speaking, her love was not fake. Her heart was pounding, and the closer he got, the faster it beat, almost jumping out of her throat.
If you can't afford to offend me, can't you just stay away from me?
Cut off the ties as soon as possible. Once we get off this ship, she will officially go to work at the military hospital. We will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future, and these unreasonable feelings will fade away with time.
Gu Cheng was sitting in his lounge with a gloomy face. He was lying on his back on the bed, resting his hands on his arms.
Anger, shame, annoyance... countless emotions surged in his heart. He had never been in a relationship with a woman. In the past, many beautiful girls had come forward to show their affection, and he had become accustomed to others' active flattery.
Now that he has taken such initiative, this little fat girl still doesn't know how to appreciate it.
After sulking for most of the day, Gu Cheng sat up straight, put on his hat, clenched his fingers, and looked in the mirror. The man in the mirror had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, which showed determination and indomitable spirit.
——Captain Gu, don’t be a cheapskate.
There is more than one woman in the world. Will a man die without a woman? Were there any women when floating on the sea? No matter how many men she goes on blind dates with, even if she goes on blind dates with ten men, it has nothing to do with him.
After making up his mind, Gu Cheng walked out of the lounge and soon ran into the happy Zhao Mingjin.
The department head said he was really shameless and whispered to him, "Tsk tsk, you pretended to be sick and went to the medical room again."
"Captain Gu, why don't we give him a chance? Let's try to match him up with Nurse Xiao Qin. It's hard for unmarried male officers like them to meet someone they like."
"We are all comrades-in-arms, helping each other."
Although they have good conditions, they have no way to find a partner. They either have to rely on their family or the organization's introduction. This is not like young men and women in big cities who can go to the movies, go for a walk in the park, visit department stores or Xinhua Bookstores, and maybe even meet someone for free love.
The department director teased Zhao Mingjin a few times, and Zhao Mingjin smiled and said, "I asked my friend's sister, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. I just found out that nurse Qin weighed more than 150 pounds three months ago, and she lost weight after training."
"One hundred and four."
A sudden voice sounded.
The department head and Zhao Mingjin looked at Gu Cheng in surprise, only to see that Captain Gu had no expression on his face and said indifferently, "Head Nurse Ge said so."
"It's about the same." Men are not that sensitive about women's weight. For men, 140 to 150 pounds is considered a normal weight and not special.
Zhao Mingjin said happily: "It's good to be a little fatter. My parents say that girls with a little fatter are blessed. I don't like girls who are too thin. My little sister is too thin. It's uncomfortable to hug her. She looks like a bag of bones."
"If I give birth to a girl in the future, she will look like her mother. A chubby little tiger girl will be cute."
The department head responded: “Indeed.”
When sailing at sea, we work on a shift basis. After changing shifts, we are really idle. When we have nothing serious to do, it is easy to think about all sorts of things.
Zhao Mingjin thought a lot: "This year is the Year of the Rat, I will find a partner, next year is the Year of the Ox, I will get married, and the year after that I will have a little tiger girl."
The department head laughed: "That's a nice thought."
“We have to plan for the long term.”
"But that's true." The department head sighed, "A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. I wish you success."
"Thank you very much."
"Captain Gu, if you hear this, please say your blessing too."
Gu Cheng remained silent. He thought:
...It's okay to be a bitch.
