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

Chapter 370 [Extra] What Year Is It Tonight? (6)

In the evening, the officers and soldiers of each unit let everyone stay in their dormitories. Not only did they have no worries about food and drink, but they could also take hot showers.

Lu Youyou and five other female comrades were assigned to a room with three bunk beds. The beds were narrow and the bed boards were hard, but lying on them made her feel incredibly at ease.

At times like these, having a bed and being able to sleep peacefully is the greatest happiness.

They were probably very tired, as two of them soon started snoring, but the noisy environment did not affect Lu Youyou's good sleep all night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already past ten o'clock, and only the middle-aged woman in the next bunk was still in the room.

“Little girl, you can really sleep. You even missed breakfast. A very tall soldier came looking for you earlier, and I told him you were still sleeping before he left. Oh, by the way, that was the breakfast he brought for you.”

The middle-aged woman pointed to the table, where there was an apple, a bottle of milk, a fist-sized steamed bun, and a boiled egg.

She smiled and leaned closer, asking with a hint of gossip, "Little girl, is that your friend?"

Lu Youyou twitched the corners of her mouth, and without knowing how to answer, she nodded.

The middle-aged woman smiled knowingly and said, "Then you should eat quickly, otherwise it will be lunchtime soon."

Lu Youyou felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to rush to explain. After washing up, she grabbed an apple and walked out, saying, "Auntie, I'm going to eat this to get some fresh air."

"Go ahead, go ahead." The middle-aged woman's smile became even more meaningful, clearly indicating that she thought Lu Youyou was going to find her "friends."

Lu Youyou stepped onto the deck with an apple in her mouth and saw Gu Qingye in the patrol team. She immediately smiled and waved to him, and Gu Qingye nodded almost imperceptibly.

The scenery at sea is all the same; after seeing it too many times, it becomes boring. After standing there for a while, Lu Youyou couldn't help but look away in a certain direction.

Among a group of soldiers who looked exactly alike from head to toe, Gu Qingye always stood out the most, not only because he was the tallest, but also because, from Lu Youyou's perspective, his figure was perfect.

When he stands at attention, he's like a javelin, rooted to the spot. Even though everyone else's movements are the same, he has a certain flair that sets him apart from the others.

Lu Youyou didn't know how to describe it, but she felt that he was more capable than everyone else.

Gu Qingye noticed the subtle, almost imperceptible gaze, as did his comrades. However, they were forbidden from whispering during work hours, so they had to keep their gossipy thoughts to themselves.

Don't think that soldiers don't care about these things. Life on a ship is already boring. Now the news is right in front of them, and it seems to be related to Comrade Gu Qingye, the famous iceberg of the XX ship. This will definitely top the fleet gossip list.

Lu Youyou had no idea that she would be spotted from such a distance. People would glance at her from time to time. Since she had nothing better to do, looking at handsome men was both pleasing to the eye and a way to pass the time.

Lunchtime arrived quickly, and Gu Qingye's shift was about to change. Lu Youyou also prepared to go to the cafeteria to fill her stomach.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she heard footsteps approaching from afar. Turning around, she saw Gu Qingye running towards her, but she didn't notice that not far behind him, there were several heads pretending to be indifferent.

“Youyou—” Gu Qingye’s voice was incredibly smooth, as if he had uttered this name a hundred or a thousand times.

However, those who heard it didn't think so, whether it was Lu Youyou, whose heart was racing, or the row of gossipers with faces full of "I knew it."

Good morning, Gu Qingye.

As Lu Youyou greeted them, she inwardly berated herself.

Isn't this baby bird complex a bit too powerful? How come the lingering feeling is still going strong even after a whole night?

You were just saved by an incredibly handsome guy with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, well-developed chest muscles, firm abs, and a mesmerizing V-line, right? Lu Youyou, you're not that ignorant!
Okay, I admit I'm just that clueless. Even after seeing countless male models at Fashion Week, none of them matched her aesthetic like Gu Qingye. Besides, she'd already seen it for herself—yesterday, while being carried around, her "An Lushan claws" had trotted across Gu Qingye's chest countless times!
Ahem, stop, I can't think about it anymore...

Gu Qingye watched Lu Youyou's subtle changes in expression, his heart felt like it was soaking in a hot spring. Even if the sun were shining brightly tomorrow, he would remain calm and continue her words without changing his expression: "Yes, good morning."

He was able to confirm that Lu Youyou did not remember her past life, but he figured that a person's nature wouldn't change much.

For so many years, she has always made sure to place her hand on his stomach when she sleeps at night, tracing the lines of his abdominal muscles several times before she can close her eyes with satisfaction.

Now...

Seeing the familiar look in Lu Youyou's eyes again, Gu Qingye's lips curled up slightly.

"Are you hungry? The kitchen made sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed pork with rice flour today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Youyou's eyes lit up. These were all the dishes she loved to eat in her past life, and they were still the same in this life.

Lu Youyou took a couple of steps and noticed Gu Qingye standing still: "What about you? Aren't you going to eat?"

“We eat at different times than you,” Gu Qingye said with a smile.

Lu Youyou realized she had asked a silly question. She hadn't seen a single soldier during dinner last night, so how could she have forgotten?

"Ahem, I haven't thanked you yet for bringing me breakfast."

Gu Qingye suddenly felt that it was good to get to know her again. He seemed to have discovered many more adorable aspects of Lu Youyou: "Well, you should go quickly. One apple isn't enough. You need to eat more at noon."

Lu Youyou was furious. Could someone please tell her why she could be spotted even when she was eating an apple dozens of meters away?

"Okay, I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

Lu Youyou's departure was somewhat hurried, but the people who rushed up from behind and surrounded Gu Qingye were even more hurried.

"Old Gu, that's not very kind of you. When did you meet such a beautiful woman? How come we didn't know?"

"Tch, what do you know? You've got such big eyes, it's all for nothing! Old Gu rescued her yesterday, he's the hero!"

"Oh—a hero saving a damsel in distress—"

His comrades teased him while staring at Gu Qingye, but unfortunately, his expression had completely disappeared after Lu Youyou left, and no one could figure out what was going on.

"What, are you all just killing time?" Gu Qingye said coldly.

My comrade is still not giving up. He just wants to have some gossip, why is it so difficult?
"Old Gu, why don't you introduce yourself? You seem so calm and collected, but I'd like to get to know you."

No one expected that this old-fashioned provocation would work, but to Gu Qingye it was tantamount to stealing his wife right in front of him, and the woman he had loved for decades was no exception.

The person who spoke immediately experienced what it meant to be frozen solid with just a glance; the power of the XX ship, famously known as the Iceberg, was indeed well-deserved.

Now everyone understands; even if there's nothing wrong for now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

Since they would be on the ship for another two days anyway, they had plenty of time to observe.
