1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 272 Why are foreigners like this?

Lu Youyou's eyes were a little red.

The first person she saw upon arriving in this world was Gu Qingye. From her initial helplessness to her current deep affection, the two have never been apart.

She knew it was just going abroad, not a matter of life and death, but when it came time to say goodbye, she was more reluctant than she had imagined.

Lu Youyou hugged Gu Qingye tightly in return, the strong heartbeat resonating in her heart.

"You also need to take good care of yourself. If you get sick or injured, go to the hospital immediately. Don't push yourself. Don't take things lightly just because I'm not here..."

She had already said these words before, but she couldn't help but repeat them again. The closer it got to parting, the more she wanted to say.

Scenes of parting and sorrow often unfold at airports. At such times, most Chinese people are reserved and do not hug each other much. It is quite unusual to see a man and a woman embracing tightly.

Lu Youyou and Gu Qingye talked for several minutes before letting go of each other's hands, which stunned all the teachers and students.

Everyone knows that Lu Youyou is not an ordinary student. Even if they haven't spoken to each other, they've become familiar with her through various meetings over this period of time.

Everyone knows that she has excellent grades, especially outstanding research ability, and she is proficient in two majors. Tsinghua University and China Agricultural University both speak highly of her.

Besides, Lu Youyou has such a stunningly beautiful face that it's hard not to recognize her.

I've heard she's married, but I never imagined her husband would be so outstanding.

Hugging in public is indeed a bit too unrestrained, but the two of them are both incredibly good-looking and have great figures, making them a very pleasing sight to behold.

After speaking to the older one, Lu Youyou squatted down and hugged the two younger ones.

Zhuifeng stood upright on its hind legs, looking quite human, and gave her a big hug. It rubbed its head against her face, and if Little Grey hadn't been pawing at it, it could have kept hugging her like that forever.

Once Little Grey successfully regained his mother's attention, everyone present witnessed what a true chatterbox was.

"Gurgle gurgle, gurgle gurgle chirp, gurgle gurgle gurgle, chirp chirp chirp..."

No one could understand what Little Grey was saying; all they could see was Deer Youyou stroking its fur and nodding, occasionally replying with a few words.

What a rare sight! If they hadn't been short on time, they would have loved to watch for another half hour.

Lu Youyou returned to the group with her suitcase. Gu Qingye, along with Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui, followed the group at a distance until Lu Youyou's figure disappeared into the airport terminal.

He stood there motionless, and the two younger ones showed no sign of moving an inch.

"I want to wait until the plane takes off before I leave, what do you think?"

Chasing Wind barked and sat up straight, as if it intended to take root in the airport.

Little Grey rolled its eyes. "Hmph, you jerk, go if you want to leave."

If Mom hadn't repeatedly told it that flying near the airport was prohibited, it would have chased the metal box as far as it could.

As Little Grey thought about it, half of the two tufts of fur on its head fell down again. It was already missing its mother even before she left!

So sad, so depressed!

Domestic flights to the United States have only recently resumed, with only one direct flight route: Beijing – Shanghai – San Francisco – New York.

The schools that everyone is going to are mostly located on the East and West Coasts, so it's a good opportunity to send one group to San Francisco and another to New York.

With dozens of students and quite a few teachers leading the group, the team of nearly one hundred people was quite conspicuous at the airport.

It was already late at night, but there was no sign of sleepiness on anyone's face. Apart from a little worry about being away from home, there was more anticipation for a new life.

Some people were still physically in line, but their minds had already flown far away. Putting aside whether it was America or not, most of them were seeing a commercial airliner for the first time. Some were standing on tiptoe to look out, some were staring wide-eyed at the big plane, and there were also a few foreign faces passing by, making the airport and the outside world two completely different worlds.

Perhaps because they were too engrossed in watching, a female classmate suddenly exclaimed.

"oops!"

The female student tripped over her suitcase, pushing the male student in front of her. The male student, who was standing on tiptoe looking out the window at the Boeing 747, stumbled and bumped into the teacher in front of him.

The teacher was almost sixty years old, a very thin old man. Suddenly bumped into, he staggered and fell straight to the ground.

Lu Youyou happened to be nearby and quickly grabbed it. In her haste, she couldn't exert much force and was also pulled forward a few steps.

The people around them realized what was happening and quickly helped the teacher to his feet before helping the other two unfortunate students.

The female classmate twisted her ankle, clutching it as she lay sprawled on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She was furious and went to find the careless person walking by, but when she looked up, she froze in shock.

They were two foreigners!
A man and a woman, probably in their thirties, the man wearing a suit and a wool coat, the woman wrapped in a mink coat, seemed to be on a different level from the black, white and gray surroundings.

The question that the female student was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck in her throat.

"Teacher Zhang, are you alright?"

Lu Youyou didn't look behind her; she was first concerned about the teacher who almost tripped and fell.

"It's alright, it's alright!" The old man steadied himself and quickly waved to the students.

Although he's not exactly an old man, a sudden fall could easily cause serious injury. If he were to collapse before even leaving the airport, such an important matter as a government-sponsored study abroad program, he would definitely be devastated.

The old man, without bothering to straighten his disheveled clothes, got up and went to ask the two students how they were doing.

The male student should be fine, but the female student is in so much pain that she can't get up.

Seeing that many people were staring at the two foreigners, the old man frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The female student hesitated to speak, but someone next to her couldn't help but say it for her: "Teacher Zhang, it was that foreign comrade who hit Li Mingyue."

The foreign man was supporting his female companion's waist and asking her in English if she was alright.

The matter is actually quite simple. It was all because the man was walking too fast and bumped into Li Mingyue, causing a whole bunch of people to get hurt. Then the woman in high-heeled boots was frightened.

But when it comes to foreigners, things get a bit complicated.

After settling his female companion in, the man turned around, his eyes filled with an indescribable unease, like a nobleman looking down on a commoner.

The old man looked up and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He wanted the perpetrator to apologize and say sorry so the matter would be over, but the man showed no intention of apologizing at all.

"Chinese people are so rude, don't they apologize when they bump into someone?"

The students were stunned by these words.

Many people learn "mute English," meaning they can only read and write, but their listening and speaking skills are extremely poor. However, they can understand the meaning of such simple sentences with just a few keywords.

Why are they turning around and blaming others?

Why are foreigners like this?

Many people were angry, but because the other party was a "foreign friend," they didn't say anything. They were about to go to the United States, and no matter who the man was, most people didn't want to cause trouble.
