Time is merciless and will not stop for a moment because of anyone's reluctance. Soon it was the night before Gu Mingjing was about to leave.
After Gu Mingjing received Jian Shu's call from get off work, the two of them walked home together. However, unlike the usual laughter and chatter, today they were both silent, and their steps were no longer as brisk as before.
Thinking of the upcoming separation, Jianshu felt a little sad. She didn't expect that her first relationship would be a long-distance relationship. Across such a long distance, even seeing each other was such a luxury.
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Alas, she had only been dating for a few days and already had to face the test of a long-distance relationship.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Jianshu initially agreed to date him because she thought he was a good fit in every way. Since she had to find a partner sooner or later, she had to find someone she was satisfied with.
But it’s impossible to say how much affection there was, after all, it was our first meeting.
But after spending so many days together, it was obvious how Gu Mingjing felt about her. To be frank, even if she found another partner, she would not find anyone who treated her better than he did.
Although he was sometimes a bit mean and thick-skinned, which would make her angry, these were some dangerous shortcomings, and these shortcomings even made her more satisfied.
If Gu Mingjing was truly perfect in every way, she wouldn't dare date him. After all, there were no perfect people in this world. There were only hypocrites who were good at pretending.
Jianshu was the same person who would repay others' kindness doubly. These days, Gu Mingjing was attentive to her in every way, caring about her all the time, and even spending money generously. Every day, he would bring her all kinds of candies, snacks, fruits, and drinks. He would also prepare little surprises from time to time, sometimes a straw-woven dragonfly or grasshopper; sometimes a bunch of wild flowers from the roadside. They were not valuable things, but they were all made and picked by him.
Life needs a sense of ritual, but not everything that costs money or is the most expensive is the best. Sometimes the thought behind it is the most precious.
According to reliable sources, Gu Mingjing learned this trick from Zhao Mingze, and learned straw weaving from his neighbor, Uncle Chen. Because of this, Aunt Chen often praised Gu Mingjing in front of Jian Shu, saying that she had found a good partner.
In the past few days, all the relatives and friends around Jianshu have become more fond of Gu Mingjing. If she had not said so beforehand, they would have been urged to get married long ago.
But even though she had talked about the pressure of marriage, she could not avoid separation. Even though she had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help feeling reluctant on the eve of departure.
-
She started preparing things for Gu Mingjing two days ago. She had given so many things to his friends, and she was even more thoughtful when it came to her real boyfriend.
Of the four necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, she couldn't help much with housing and transportation, so she worked hard on food and clothing.
The fabric she had bought a few days ago had been made into clothes after she had worked overnight for the past two days. A shirt, a vest, and a pair of trousers. Although he might not be able to wear them most of the time since he was in the army, he would always have a chance to wear them during his leave.
Initially, Jianshu wanted to give him a surprise and let him know when he left. But for some reason, the surprise was aborted before it was even started.
—She didn't know his size.
She wasn't an experienced seamstress with many years of experience who had developed a pair of sharp eyes and could tell the size at a glance. If she wanted to know, she could only ask the tailor herself.
Although she didn't explain the reason, Gu Mingjing was so smart that he guessed it immediately when Jian Shu asked.
Every time he thought about it these past few days, he couldn't help but smile, his whole face was filled with laughter. He showed off in front of Ding Ming and Lao Tan every day, making Ding Ming, a single man, look bitter when he saw him these past two days.
There is no way. Old Tan has a wife. Gu Mingjing, who feels no sense of existence in front of him, will have to take advantage of Ding Ming alone, right?
So it was very rare that when Ding Ming knew that his brother Gu had to leave, he did not feel sad as usual but instead felt relieved.
He finally had two days of peace and quiet.
Besides clothes, food was also essential. He had prepared a lot of dried fruits, meat jerky, nuts, and other things that were available at home and would not cause any problems.
But perhaps because the separation was imminent, Jianshu felt a little anxious and always felt that this was not enough.
So, after returning home, Jianshu went straight into the kitchen.
She had just thought about the dozens of hours he would have to sit on the train, so she prepared to make some meat sauce and chili sauce for him to take with him. It would be perfect if he could buy some steamed buns and rice on the train to eat with it. After all, in her impression, the food on the train was terrible.
"Shushu, go out and rest. I'll cook." Gu Mingjing saw Jianshu enter the kitchen and hurried over to say. He had been out for something this afternoon and hadn't had time to cook.
Jian Shu shook his head and explained, "No, I'll make you some sauce to take away. Don't you like mushroom and meat sauce? I'll make you some extra so you can eat it on the train and take the rest back to the army."
Only then did Gu Mingjing understand why Jianshu asked him to buy meat yesterday.
"Don't bother. There are boxed lunches on the train. I can eat anything. The weather is hot now, and the meat sauce won't last for a few days." Gu Mingjing didn't want Jianshu to suffer.
Jian Shu ignored him. "You have comrades in the army. You should share some with them. They will definitely be finished in two days. It won't go bad."
Just like when she was in college in her previous life, at the beginning of every semester, she would always bring bags and bags of various local snacks to school. When she got to the dormitory, it was like dividing the spoils, you took one, I took one, she took one, and the whole dormitory ate together, and it was all gone in a few days.
There were only four of them at the time, and it was impossible that Gu Mingjing had only four comrades-in-arms. Moreover, they were all grown men, who usually trained a lot and had big appetites. You could tell by looking at Gu Mingjing's appetite.
So if we bring enough meat sauce, there will only be enough to eat, and there will be no waste.
"There are so many of them, no matter how much food we give them it won't be enough for them. You made all this for me, I can't bear to give it away." Gu Mingjing said righteously.
He wasn't a stingy person, and usually shared whatever food he had. But this time, he couldn't bear to part with the meat sauce Jianshu had made. Didn't he know about that group of people? They all had big appetites, like gluttons. No matter how much they were given, it wouldn't be enough.
Jianshu didn't expect him to be so stingy at this moment, so she gently persuaded him, "Isn't it just meat sauce? Write to me after you finish eating it, and I'll make it and send it to you. Don't be stingy. Aren't you usually the most generous? Who was the one who said I was rich before?"
"That's different." Gu Mingjing snorted.
