Chapter 100

The convoy jolted forward amidst the flying sand and rocks.

Ning Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, held onto the handrail and swayed as the road conditions changed.

Normally, she would have felt sick to her stomach.

But this time, I was so immersed in suffocating anxiety that I couldn't pay attention to anything else.

Is Wei okay? Why did she worry so much before?

Huang Yitong is only 18 years old and she hasn’t even had time to celebrate her birthday.

What about the other comrades? Are they all safe?

Countless questions repeated in her mind. She didn't know how long it had passed. Just when Ning Yu suspected that her sanity was about to be devoured by anxiety and worry, the car suddenly stopped.

Then, the company commander in the main driving position took out the key and said, "Reporter Ning, we're here. The deminers go first, and you follow behind. Remember not to run around."

Ning Yu knew the rules, so she nodded randomly, then quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car.

The surrounding environment was bad, and the air was filled with choking dust. Ning Yu pulled the scarf covering her mouth and nose, squinted her eyes, and anxiously wandered around in the blurry environment, trying to find the person she was thinking about.

...but no.

Within the range of movement, there was no familiar figure anywhere.

Just as Ning Yu stood there in the dust, her chest slowly hollowed out by emptiness and helplessness, a heavenly voice reached her ears:

"Sister Xiaoyu, you are here too?"

Ning Yu felt as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer. She turned around suddenly, and when she was sure that the figure approaching her was not an illusion, tears instantly filled her eyes.

Huang Yitong, who had already walked over, saw the situation and said in a panic: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't cry, we are all fine, and Brother Wei is not injured."

In fact, when Ning Yu saw the relaxed look on the little girl's face, she guessed that everyone was safe.

But, perhaps because her tense emotions suddenly relaxed, she became vulnerable instead.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu felt a little embarrassed again, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "Where did you go just now?"

Huang Yitong smiled and replied: "In the car, there is too much wind and sand outside."

That's right... In such a hurry, he even lost the ability to think. Ning Yu pinched his brows and asked again: "Is everyone unharmed?"

Hearing this, Huang Yitong shook her head: "The first car was blown over, but rescue was timely and the people were only slightly injured... Sister Xiaoyu, are you going to look for Brother Wei?"

Ning Yu shook her head. She had more important things to do right now.

After surrendering, the Y Army continued to lay mines and ambushes. Was there any unusual signal behind this foolish behavior that was almost provocative?

She must get the report out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu raised the camera in her hand and her expression became serious: "I'm glad you're safe. I have something else to do. I'll come find you later."

Seeing this, Huang Yitong expressed her understanding: "Work is urgent, we are in the second to last car over there."

Ning Yu looked in the direction of the other person's finger and said, "I see. Don't tell Lu Wei that I'm here yet."

Huang Yitong: “Okay.”

Photographing, interviewing, writing...

By the time Ning Yu got away from her busy schedule, two hours had passed.

The soldiers' work was not yet finished, so Ning Yu took the opportunity to go to the art troupe.

There were eight or nine people sitting in the small carriage, and under the scorching sun, everyone's expression looked a little wilted.

Lu Wei was sitting in the last row reading a book when his sweetheart suddenly appeared in front of him, looking very frightened.

Although he was a little surprised, he quickly connected the cause and effect.

So he didn't ask anything, but stood up and led the others to the back and sat down. Then he unwrapped his water bottle and passed it to them, saying with some concern, "Drink some water, your lips are dry."

They came out in a hurry, and the water in Ning Yu's water bottle, which was filled when she went out in the morning, was long gone. She was very thirsty at the moment, so she took the bottle and drank two sips without delay.

Li Wei urged: "Drink a few more sips."

Hearing this and feeling the curious gazes of the people in the carriage, Ning Yu pursed her lips uncomfortably, but still raised her head and took a few sips again.

So good... Li Wei's mouth curled up into a nice arc, and he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wet it halfway with water from the kettle, and said in a gentle tone: "Wipe your face, you've become a little cat."

"hiss..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who had been watching quietly gasped.

That's Wei!

Although he looks gentle and good-tempered, he is actually very distant, especially when it comes to lesbians.

So...what is happening?!

If it were in the past, Ning Yu would have probably run away, but after a series of events that happened before, she has thought it through.

No one knows what the future will be like, so what she should do is cherish the present.

So, even though her ears were getting hot, she still naturally took the handkerchief and wiped them.

Luo Wei was very smart, and his peach blossom eyes were instantly filled with joy.

So, seeing that she failed to wipe a certain spot after several attempts, he became more aggressive and reached out to take the handkerchief to help wipe it.

"Hiss..." Another, more intense gasp sound was heard.

Ning Yu, who was stunned, came back to his senses and leaned back subconsciously.

After being interrupted several times, Wei Wei's smile faded slightly, and he looked at everyone with a cold look: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your throat?"

"Not really, it's just that reporter Ning asked you... ahem... Lao Ru, could you introduce us?" They were all familiar comrades-in-arms, and no one was afraid of his cold face. Instead, they all looked gossipy.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others began to ask questions.

You talk, I talk, and we both look like we won't stop until we get an answer.

Lu Wei did not rush to answer, but looked at Xiaoyu, obviously giving the right to speak to the other party.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter again, laughing at him, a grown man and a big star, but being controlled so strictly by his partner.

Lu Wei was not annoyed and continued to stare at the girl next to him, with a satisfied smile at the corners of his eyes.

Ning Yu's cheeks turned red from being stared at, but she still tried to keep a straight face and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Ning Yu..."

"I know, I know! A war reporter!"

"Yes, we all admire you!"

"Really, Ning is a female reporter who is as brave as any man. She is a female hero!"

"A hero is a hero, why add a gender?"

"Oh, yes, he is a hero worthy of admiration!"

"..."

There was admiration, ridicule, and kindness in people's words.

Ning Yu gradually relaxed. She glanced at the smiling man beside her and continued, "I am the object of Lu Wei's affection."

"Oh!!!" Although they were prepared, everyone still cheered.

Some of the people who had the best relationship with Wei even joked: "That's good. Now that the annoying guy has found a partner, we can rest assured."

"Yes, yes, reporter Ning, you don't know how crazy Lao Rui is. As long as he doesn't have a partner, lesbians won't see us."

"That's right, thank you reporter Ning for taking this disaster!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, reporter Ning, for taking this disaster!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey...that's enough, don't scare away our Ning reporters who are here to help people in need, and stop telling the truth..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again. The commotion was so loud that soon his comrades came over out of curiosity.

As a result, the news that the handsome man Lu Wei had a girlfriend spread quickly.

It brings some relief to the dull and depressing environment.

Of course, after all the hustle and bustle, knowing that the young couple was facing separation, everyone quickly dispersed to other cars to make room for the two of them.

"The convoy will leave in half an hour. I will write to you when we arrive in Tianjing?" Lu Wei did not ask Xiaoyu why she suddenly agreed. Some things do not need to be explained in words. He reached out and held her hand, pinched the thin silk thread on her fingertips, and his tone was full of satisfaction.

Ning Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the two people's clasped hands. She fluttered her eyelashes uncomfortably and said suddenly, "You are much whiter than me."

"What...what?" Lu Wei was confused for a moment, then he couldn't stop laughing.

Ning Yu had never expected that she would blurt out what was in her heart. She was embarrassed and flustered. "No... no need to write a letter. It could be transferred at any time. Just wait for me to contact you."

After finally stopping his smile, Wei pinched his cheeks, which were sore from laughing, and said with emotion: "Okay, but... don't turn around and forget that you already have a partner."

How could I forget this, the first and probably the only time in my life that I fell in love with someone...

Thinking of this, the girl, who had always been indifferent, softened her expression, shook the man's hand, and promised in a serious tone: "I won't forget it."

Li Wei has always been a pushy person. When he found that his partner had responded, he changed the handshake to a clasp of fingers: "So, should we tell Tingting that we are dating?"

Ning Yu thought for a few moments and then shook her head: "I'll tell her in person when I return to Tianjing."

Hearing this, Lu Wei did not force it, but said with a smile: "According to how busy you are, I hope you can return to Tianjing before you are thirty years old."

Although this was just a joke, it was not impossible. Ning Yu felt guilty and said, "I will call my parents later and tell them that I am dating someone."

Speaking of this, Lu Wei was a little curious: "I don't know what your parents do. Are they also in Tianjing?"

When talking about her family, Ning Yu's smile faded a little: "They are not in Tianjin at the moment. My father is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of Province X, and my mother went with him. They...you don't have to worry too much."

The target's family background was somewhat unexpected, but that was not the most important thing to worry about. Wei Wei tightened his hand and asked worriedly, "Are your parents not good to you?"

Ning Yu hesitated for a few moments before saying, "Actually, we... don't interact that much. They like my brother more."

Got it... Lu Wei's eyes darkened, but his hands were gentle. He raised his hand and rubbed the target's head, smiling and teasing her: "Then let's ignore them and don't tell them that you found a big star."

Ning Yu was no longer at the age where she longed for her parents’ approval. She laughed out loud and said, “That’s what I thought, too.”

The two did not spend much time together.

After about twenty minutes, a soldier came to inform us that the front was safe.

No matter how reluctant she was, Ning Yu did not delay. She put on her face scarf, stopped Lu Wei from sending her off, and quickly jumped out of the car.

After getting off the car, she quickly walked to the back of the car.

The two people in the car looked at each other without saying anything, but they both smiled.

They had long since learned to say goodbye with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Soon, someone shouted from the front, followed by the sound of engines starting one after another.

Ning Yu took a few steps back before narrowing her eyes, waving her hands, and shouting at the top of her lungs, "Have a safe trip!"

Li Wei also waved his hand and said loudly: "Go back to the car! Remember to write me a letter or call me!"

Ning Yu: “Okay!”

The convoy moved forward amid the roar, and the sand and stones it brought up started flying again.

Ning Yu squinted her eyes and watched the traffic disappear in the rolling dust, then she trotted back to the car she had come in.

Unlike the dullness when they came, the company commander smiled with all his white teeth and sang military songs loudly when he started the car.

Emotions are the most contagious, and soon, the soldiers in the car also started singing along.

The singing spread out of the carriage and drifted to the rear.

Then, the long convoy of cars joined in.

Military songs are loud and bold!

Ning Yu didn't sing along, but looked out the car window at the withered yellow sky with a smile on her face...

The car was still bumpy, but at this moment, she felt sincerely that the mountains and rivers were magnificent and the sand dunes were like gold!
