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

Chapter 365 [Extra] What Year Is It Tonight? (1)

When Gu Qingye woke up, he was lying face down in a puddle, soaking wet. His rusty throat and bellows-like breathing indicated that he was about to run out of energy.

"How many times have I told you? Crawl forward, crawl forward! Do you want to get shot if you stick your butt out like that?"

"Didn't you eat? Don't you want to quit? If you don't want to work, go home and don't waste the country's food!"

"Heads up, all of you get up! The last one will have to do an extra five kilometers!"

The familiar way he was spoken to made Gu Qingye subconsciously want to follow orders, but when he tried to move, he found that his hands and feet felt like they were made of lead and he couldn't lift them at all.

His vision was filled with camouflage, and the deep-rooted military green made him know where he was without even thinking.

This is a military camp. Although it is not any of the places he remembers, Gu Qingye, who has been a soldier for decades, would never mistake it.

The icy cold water and the mouth full of mud and sand—Gu Qingye, who had long since risen to a high position, had not experienced the taste of front-line training for many years.

But his instincts were still there. Even though his limbs were so sore that he could barely feel them, he was still certain that this was not his body, or rather, this was not the body he should have at his age.

How is this going?

He was at home just a moment ago, where is he now?

Where's Youyou?
What about Manxi and Xiuyuan?

"Gu Qingye, what are you doing lying there? If you want to practice more, just say so. You don't need to compete to be last!"

When Company Commander Zhang turned around, he saw one of the top recruits in the company lying motionless at the finish line. The rest of the troops had almost passed by, but he was still lying there like a stone.

A pair of muddy rubber shoes appeared, splashing mud and water all over the faces of the people on the ground.

Gu Qingye looked up upon hearing this and saw a very young face that he had never seen before.

Three years ago, the team had already completely changed to the Type 21 training uniform, so why is he still wearing the old model?

What year is it now?

Despite having countless questions swirling in his mind, Gu Qingye quickly calmed down and swiftly climbed over the finish line to reach his "comrade-in-arms".

The same name, a young body—even the most staunch materialist, Gu Qingye had to accept this unscientific reality.

Filtering out all possibilities of framing, pretense, and pranks, he seemed to have traveled to a parallel world. He was no longer the man who had retired, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and finally had plenty of time to spend with his lover.

The overwhelming sense of loss of control caused his heart to clench painfully, and he swayed almost imperceptibly from exhaustion.

"Are you OK?"

His comrade next to him didn't move his mouth, but his voice reached his ears like a mosquito's buzz.

"fine."

Gu Qingye verbally agreed that everything was fine, but his heart was in turmoil, like a tsunami.

He suddenly disappeared. What will Youyou do?
How can he get back? Is he even able to go back?

Fortunately, his military habits were already ingrained in his bones. Gu Qingye followed the main force to return to base, shower, and eat. After returning to the dormitory, he finally had time to think about his current situation.

His face was exactly the same as when he was eighteen, even the inconspicuous mole on the inside of his arm was exactly the same.

He is him, and yet he is not him.

This "Gu Qingye" also has parents named Gu Bohuai and Song Jinshu. His father works at a certain censorate, and his mother also died young. It seems like everything is the same, except for the absence of Lu Youyou.

He couldn't find the name in his memory; that face, so familiar it was almost unrecognizable, seemed to be nothing more than an illusion from another world.

Gu Qingye didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it.

Since there is another him in a parallel world, there must be another Lu Youyou. No matter where he is, he will always find her!
Having made up his mind, Gu Qingye trained harder than anyone else, and his efforts attracted more and more attention.

As a first-year student at a military academy, he was far too outstanding.

With experience from two lifetimes and no hidden injuries, Gu Qingye stood out from the crowd no matter how much he tried to conceal himself, and besides, he had no need to conceal himself at all.

His status as a second-generation military officer ensures that he will never become a target no matter how he tries to stand out. His lover is waiting for him somewhere unknown, and even if it's just to have a few more days off to go out and search for her, he must do his best.

However, four years have passed, and Gu Qingye has used every minute of his vacation, but he still hasn't found Lu Youyou.

Perhaps she's not in the country?
Otherwise, given Gu Jia's capabilities, if it exists, there's no way he wouldn't be able to find it.

Gu Qingye made a decision, and Gu Bohuai asked him many times but couldn't change his mind.

Africa, Libya
The group traveled across the vast plains in off-road vehicles. There was hardly any shade on the grassland, and the intense ultraviolet rays relentlessly pierced through the car windows, making the people inside drowsy.

Lu Youyou has been here for a month, but she still can't get used to the scorching sun that seems to want to kill you with its intense heat.

As a super-rich second-generation heiress who never had to worry about food or clothing, Lu Youyou could have easily enjoyed coffee in Milan in the morning, a gourmet meal in Paris at noon, and the night view from London Bridge in the evening. But instead, she chose to come to the desolate Africa.

Well, that's just the way rich kids are—capricious.

Her university advisor, Professor Simpson, came here to participate in a wildlife rescue project and handpicked his prized student to be her assistant. Without saying a word, Lu Youyou packed her bags and followed him.

She's only one Africa away from traveling the world, and this trip will solve all her problems with choosing a topic for her graduation thesis. Why not?
After all, I studied veterinary medicine. Without ever going to the African savanna to save lives, my life always seems a bit lacking.

Lu Youyou arrived in high spirits, but after just one day she was half-dejected.

She was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, nor was she afraid of bloody scenes, but she couldn't stand the heat.

She doesn't mind the dark spots on her skin, but she always feels dizzy and her fighting ability drops by 50% after being in the sun too much. Every time she goes out on a rescue mission, she wishes she could wash her face with Tiger Balm to avoid feeling so dizzy and lightheaded.

This time was no different; she applied it to her temples and philtrum, and even replaced the necklace around her neck with a bottle of Tiger Balm.

Every time she smelled it, she would exclaim, "Ah, I am truly the kindest fairy in the world! Why would I give up a life of luxury and come to this godforsaken place to experience the hardships of life?"

Only by finding joy amidst hardship can one endure the rollercoaster-like road conditions and 40-degree Celsius heat.

Soon they arrived at their destination. Before even getting out of the car, Lu Youyou could smell blood. An African elephant, its tusks cut off, lay in a pool of blood, its life hanging in the balance.

Since arriving in Africa, she has witnessed the same scene countless times, yet she still cannot face it with equanimity.

It's hard to control my tears at times like this, but luckily she's a professional, and so are the staff members working with her.

"Lu, let's go over there, I'll get your tools for you." A brown-haired young man wearing a baseball cap picked up a huge medical kit and walked over without saying a word.

Mayor is French and came here to volunteer after graduating from university.

Although she hadn't learned much about it, Lu Youyou keenly sensed that this young man, who didn't need to earn money to support his family and could freely enjoy his youth in Africa, was one of her kind—a damn rich man.

Let's start with the male lead traveling to modern times; this time, it's a soldier who's relentlessly pursuing his wife.
