"Let's go." Fu Zhawei whispered, taking the first step and walking in front to lead the way.
Lin Jianxue followed behind him, and the two of them walked one in front and one behind along the winding dirt road towards the educated youth point.
In April in northern Xinjiang, the nights are still cold.
The cold moonlight was like mercury pouring down the ground, sprinkling the country road and stretching the two people's shadows long, sometimes overlapping, sometimes separating.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs from a distance and the slight rustling sound of the two people's feet walking on the sandy road.
Fu Zhawei didn't walk fast, as if he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Lin Jianxue followed him quietly, her eyes fixed on the tall and slightly thin figure in front of her.
Lin Jianxue secretly looked at the young man in front of her in the dim moonlight.
The moonlight outlined the clear profile of his face. His jawline was a little tight, and it seemed that he was not as quiet as he appeared.
Lin Jianxue pulled her light green coat closer.
She knew for whom she had come to this remote and barren northern border without hesitation.
Now, being able to walk quietly beside him, feeling the night breeze and listening to each other's footsteps, she already felt that it was a luxurious happiness.
All the sufferings and hardships of the previous life seemed to be quietly soothed away under this gentle moonlight.
Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent all the way.
This silence was not awkward, but rather it seemed as if there was a silent tacit understanding flowing between the two of them.
After walking for about ten minutes, the outlines of the rows of simple adobe houses at the educated youth site finally appeared at the end of our sight.
A dim light bulb was hanging at the door, emitting a faint light in the night, barely illuminating a small open space in front of the door.
Fu Zhawei stopped a few steps away from the entrance of the educated youth site.
Lin Jianxue also stopped and walked to the steps in front of the dormitory building. She turned around, raised her head slightly, and met Fu Zhewei's gaze.
Standing like this, she could almost look Fu Zhawei in the eye.
She raised her eyes and looked at him.
The young man had handsome features and skin as white as cold jade, which made him seem a little out of place among the young people who worked all day in the countryside.
The dim light and the cold moonlight intertwined, falling on his handsome and fair face, adding a touch of softness to his usually slightly cold and hard features.
Those dark eyes that always seemed distant and indifferent now appeared particularly deep in the night, clearly reflecting her small figure.
Lin Jianxue could feel her heartbeat, which seemed to be a little faster than usual. She gathered her coat around her shoulders, and a slight smile curved her lips.
"Fu Zhewei, thank you for sending me back."
Fu Zhawei seemed a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. His eyes flickered slightly before he pursed his slightly thin lips and whispered, "You're welcome."
Lin Jianxue looked at him, thought for a moment, and added, "Next time I'm free, I'll go see you, Aunt Dong, and Qingqing."
When Fu Zhawei heard this, a faint light seemed to flash across his eyes, so fast that people almost thought it was an illusion.
He nodded almost imperceptibly:
"good."
One word, simple and concise, is his consistent style.
Lin Jianxue curled her lips, feeling like there wasn't anything else to say. Staying any longer would seem deliberate.
She waved her hand gently and said softly:
"It's getting late. Go back quickly and be careful on the road."
