Second update
The two held hands and hugged each other for a while under the starry sky, hiding in the shadow of the corner until someone walked by and then they suddenly separated.
"It's getting late. I'm going to go home first. I have to boil water for a bath at night."
Gu Cheng nodded: "I'll take you there."
"No."
Gu Cheng insisted: "I'll take you downstairs."
"Okay, okay."
Gu Cheng lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist, wishing that the seconds would go slower. He clearly did not do anything tonight. He just watched "The Quarrel of Stars" for a while, and time passed by without him noticing.
Compared with his previous performance in training new recruits in ship subjects, Captain Gu gave himself a failing grade based on his efficiency.
After the last blind date, Gu Cheng had inquired openly and secretly about what men and women should talk about on a blind date. It was mostly basic things like "hobbies", "family situation", "income and salary", and another thing was "how many children will you have after marriage"... ahem.
I have read the information about both of them. As for other issues, I will consider them after the Year of the Tiger. For now, I will just look at the stars.
Before saying goodbye downstairs, Qin Yao stood still in the wind. They were still some distance away from the dormitory building and could hear the noisy sounds of children in the family area from afar.
Gu Cheng was wearing a hat and had taken off his mask long ago. One could only barely see his outline in the darkness.
Qin Yao already knew that he had a good-looking standing posture. She found it incredible that she could tell who the person in front of her was just from his shadow. She also noticed that if Gu Cheng didn't deliberately bend his waist and hunch his back, his standing posture would be very straight and beautiful.
When he was not talking, Gu Cheng habitually had a stern face, with excellent control of facial expressions, looking cold and somewhat unapproachable.
Looking at him like this, even Qin Yao herself found it hard to imagine how he had called "sister" in a cacophony just now.
It is still better to have this "flower on the mountain" attitude that keeps people at a distance, which makes it impossible for people to indulge in it.
She couldn't stand hearing this kind of noise every day. She would become as corrupt and ruthless as King Zhou.
So Qin Yao said against her will: "I prefer you the way you are now. You are very dignified, handsome, and admirable. Many young girls like men like Captain Gu."
"Really?" Gu Cheng stared into her eyes with burning eyes.
Qin Yao nodded.
In order to increase the authenticity of her words, she took Gu Cheng's left hand with both hands, shook it, and blinked: "Really."
"You have good taste." Gu Cheng adjusted his hat with his other hand. His expression did not change, his chin slightly raised, but the raised tone of his voice had already exposed his master's thoughts.
Qin Yao pursed her lips and secretly complained: Narcissist.
"Go up, I'm leaving."
The light in the corridor lengthened the shadows of the two people. Gu Cheng stood where he was, watching Qin Yao go up the stairs step by step. She went up to the third floor, waved at him, and walked into the house.
The warmth around him disappeared. Gu Cheng looked up and saw the stars in the sky were still there, twinkling.
All these quarreling stars turned into the shadow of the beloved girl, who had just shaken his hand.
Gu Cheng couldn't help but savor it for a moment, curling up the corners of his mouth. He strode to the shadow, and when his whole body was completely hidden in the shadow of the tree, he jumped forward two steps like a child.
Men's leather shoes are different from children's sneakers. When they fall to the ground, they make a loud "bang bang" sound, as if a heavy object has fallen to the ground and the world is spinning.
After stepping out of the shadows, he became the cold and serious Captain Gu again.
Gu Cheng had a tender face since he was young, or rather, he was born pretty. He looked like a girl when he was young, but his personality was rough, naughty and mischievous. When he grew up, he joined the army. Because his face was too young and he was tall and thin as a bamboo pole when he was a teenager, many people did not respect him and laughed at him for being a green boy. Gu Cheng had a strong personality and in order to increase his authority, he became more calm and his expression was serious. He was scary when he raised his eyebrows. His personal abilities were so strong that no one would ever disobey him.
The only time he would intentionally relax himself was when he was on vacation or pretending.
Although it was called disguise, he himself couldn't tell which one was disguise. He only knew that he could adapt to both states perfectly.
After being tense for too long, it's time to relax.
Unexpectedly, he met this chubby girl when he was relaxing. The girl he liked seemed to like both of his states. They were simply a match made in heaven. This was truly a God-given fate.
On the way back, Gu Cheng was in a good mood. During the night roll call, he didn't say much. Political Commissar Zhou emphasized a lot about discipline. After the team was disbanded, Gu Cheng and Political Commissar Zhou walked into the office chatting.
After entering the house, Political Commissar Zhou took a sip of tea and asked about how his meeting with his girlfriend went today.
Gu Cheng also took a sip of water, blew out white air, and met the serious eyes under the political commissar's glasses.
There are so many gossips hidden in his eyes.
Political Commissar Zhou smiled slightly, his face was amiable: "Tell me about it. If you have any questions, ask your sister-in-law to help you with the advice."
There are few entertainment activities on the island, and the training in the army is even more boring. The only thing that is interesting is the gossip about family matters and relationships.
Political Commissar Zhou hoped that Gu Cheng would solve his family and marriage problems as soon as possible. He was already thirty years old, and it would be a shame for him not to get married. Some officers who were not much older than him already had children who were already able to help with household chores.
I heard that he still wants to investigate the woman, and I don’t know if Nurse Qin can successfully win over Captain Gu.
This Gu Cheng is a stubborn person who won't listen to any advice.
"I don't need it." Gu Cheng was extremely confident at this time. He picked up the pen on the desk and played with it casually. "None of the things I was worried about happened, but unexpected things kept happening."
He would never tell Political Commissar Zhou that the drill plan he had prepared in his head was completely ineffective, and none of the response plans were used. Captain Gu gave himself a "failing" comment.
However, Gu Cheng was very optimistic. Judging from the current situation, the main factor was that he was not familiar with the "enemy", and was not sure about the specific weapons and equipment she carried. The combat geographical environment was unfamiliar and complex. He also did not know what kind of attack method she would adopt, nor did he know the situation of her friendly forces.
"Failing" means that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. I believe that after several special trainings, he will eventually achieve absolutely excellent graduation results.
Political Commissar Zhou smacked his lips and said, "Something you're worried about? Something unexpected?"
He glanced at Gu Cheng in confusion and thought, you kid are guessing riddles, what are you worried about?
Gu Cheng crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, thinking how could I let people have fun for nothing? Some things just have to be kept in suspense to make people feel itchy.
In this world, no one else knows that Gu Cheng is afraid of being punished by his partner to stand in public and shout "yes" loudly.
"There are many stars tonight," said Gu Cheng.
Political Commissar Zhou sighed, "It smells so sour. It smells so sour. Captain Gu is no exception. I heard that the girl is very beautiful."
"The quarrels are also very bad."
Political Commissar Zhou: “???”
“There are precious things hidden in the sand.”
Gu Cheng quickly finished reciting his freshly written "Three-Line Love Poem". This time it was no longer a rote recitation and he did not need to rack his brains; the verses came out naturally.
Captain Gu began to feel that he had the spirit of a poet.
Forcing himself to resist the urge to pick up a pen and write it down on the spot, he looked at Political Commissar Zhou, who had begun to look at him with an even stranger look.
Gu Cheng: “?”
He remembered that Political Commissar Zhou was also a person who liked to show off his literary talent. He had once written some nonsensical doggerel and insisted on showing it to him.
Now he is just returning the favor and throwing out some ideas.
Political Commissar Zhou frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing." Gu Cheng shook his head and took a deep breath. "I seem to smell seafood and want to eat something from the sea."
Political Commissar Zhou’s face was about to crack.
Stuff from the sea, haven’t you eaten enough after all these years on the boat? It’s only been a few days since we got off the ship? He's about to vomit.
How is this guy dating? Is it possible that he and the girl just can’t get along and they had a fight? How about a single life floating on the sea?
Political Commissar Zhou was speechless. He walked to the desk with his hands behind his back, opened the drawer, and took out a handwritten booklet. "The things we collected today will be destroyed tomorrow. Why don't you take a look at a few pages?"
Officers' and soldiers' dormitories are regularly checked for any hidden prohibited items. A handwritten booklet was found these past two days. It was a romance novel that was secretly circulating at the time, and it was unclear who the author was, but it was circulated through handwritten copies like this.
Political Commissar Zhou flipped through a few pages. It wasn't a big deal. He was from a previous era. Who hadn't read a few romance novels when they were young? Gu Cheng is already at this age, he has to be open-minded and understand the benefits of having a wife as soon as possible.
Gu Cheng refused directly: "I won't watch it."
"Take a look." Political Commissar Zhou pushed his arm with the booklet.
Gu Cheng took it with a frown on his face, he was not interested in such love stuff, he casually opened a page and saw some slightly sloppy handwriting.
"Ridiculous." Gu Cheng closed the booklet and threw it on the table.
Political Commissar Zhou shook his head and stopped insisting.
Gu Cheng tried his best to keep a straight face and suppress the surging heat rushing to the top of his head. Those crooked and vertical characters were like steel stamps, drilling into his eyes.
When he opened it, it depicted a woman's body.
They were not vulgar sentences, just a few words. But when those words could be connected with real people, those stamps instantly turned into addictive enchantments.
Back in the dormitory, Gu Cheng lay on the bed. He originally thought that he could have a more vivid dream tonight.
In fact, I did have a vivid and pleasant dream.
It’s just that there are still factors that are not conducive to physical stability, which affects reality.
