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

Chapter 372 [Extra] What Year Is It Tonight? (8)

Even the most fluttery heart turns into immense joy upon seeing the land in the distance.

Lu Youyou excitedly rushed to the bow of the boat, leaning half of her body out.

"Is it almost time?"

"careful!"

Gu Qingye subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, then released her as if he had been electrocuted. However, the familiar touch easily stirred up memories from the past few decades.

He put his right hand behind his back, trying to keep it as far away as possible, but the image of her supple, willow-like waist was imprinted on his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.

Lu Youyou froze for a moment; the strength with which those large hands had firmly encircled her waist was truly...

Last night's dream resurfaced uncontrollably. If there were a mirror in front of her, Lu Youyou would know how much blush had settled on her face.

But in Gu Qingye's eyes, they were as beautiful as peach blossoms and as radiant as rosy clouds.

"Thank you," Lu Youyou said softly, but she was too embarrassed to look up.

She tried to catch a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, but the person next to her was too tall, and she couldn't see his expression without looking up.

Gu Qingye coughed lightly: "It's alright, just be careful."

"That's Saudi Arabia up ahead, right?"

"Yes, we'll be at Jeddah port soon. Staff from the Saudi consulate will meet us on shore. Just follow their instructions."

"What about you? Aren't you going down?"

"Fleet officers and soldiers shall not leave the ship without permission."

Lu Youyou then realized that in a few tens of minutes she would have to say goodbye to Gu Qingye. The coastline that was so close seemed to be pulled closer in an instant, and even the clock seemed to move faster.

Time flies so fast; it turns out that just three days was enough for her to feel reluctant to part with someone.

Gu Qingye spoke again when she fell silent.

"Go back to your room and charge your phone first. Once you have a signal, contact your father as soon as possible. If you can't reach him right away, follow the embassy's instructions."

"Um……"

"Remember to let me know you're safe. I'll get back to you as soon as I get my phone back."

"it is good……"

Then came a silent stillness.

Lu Youyou raised her head and plunged into a deep blue sea.

Will you remember me?

A gentle and mellow voice came from beside my ear, like adding a glass dome around me, enveloping the slightly intoxicating heat inside, making my earlobes feel hot.

"Um……"

Lu Youyou nodded gently, and the next second, it was as if a rising sun appeared in Gu Qingye's eyes, and she could almost hear the sound of the snow-capped mountains melting.

If he weren't wearing a military uniform, and if he weren't on a ship, he would have embraced his beloved girl, after all, they had once been so close.

He waited six years for Lu Youyou to appear, and including his previous life, he had loved her for more than 20,000 days.

One long and two short whistles sounded, and the warships saw that they were less than a kilometer away from the port.

Gu Qingye gazed intently at his beloved girl, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Comrade Lu Youyou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Me too!"

Lu Youyou took two steps toward the cabin, then stopped, as if she had made up her mind. She turned back like a gust of wind and gently hugged Gu Qingye.

"Comrade Gu Qingye, please take care. I'll wait for your reply. Goodbye!" A mix of reluctance and joy filled Gu Qingye's heart. The sudden surprise caught him off guard; for a moment, he even wanted to pour out all his feelings.

huh-huh-

Lu Youyou ran all the way back to her room and leaned against the door for a long time before she calmed down.

She has never confessed her feelings to anyone in her life, and she had just slept with someone in her dream, and immediately hugged him when she woke up. When did she become so bold?

Looking in the mirror again, why were her eyes curved, her lips upturned, and her whole body radiating pink bubbles?
"Comrade Lu? Comrade Lu?"

Suddenly, I heard someone shout, and then I realized that everyone else in the house was still there.

Great, now my face is getting hot again.

She calmly walked back to her bunk; as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the deck was once again filled with people. Banners welcoming them could be seen on the dock, and many compatriots cheered loudly and wept with joy.

When Lu Youyou saw Gu Qingye again, he was in the farewell procession. Although he was standing at attention and his gaze did not move, Lu Youyou knew that he was looking at her at that moment.

An elderly man was very excited and held a young soldier's hand for a long time without letting go. Many people followed suit and shook hands with the soldiers next to them.

Lu Youyou stood in front of Gu Qingye, mimicking what the others were doing: "Comrade, thank you!"

Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, Gu Qingye grasped the hand in front of him without hesitation: "Serve the people!"

Even though it was something they had said countless times, Lu Youyou inexplicably sensed a hint of tenderness in it.

Even though no one was actually looking at her, she felt like the whole world was focused on her.

She doesn't quite remember how she met up with the embassy staff after that. In any case, when she came to her senses, she was already in the embassy's car, and she didn't know when she had dialed her father's number, and a series of "hello, hello, hello" came from the other end.

"dad?"

"I was so scared! They called but didn't say anything. How are things? Have you arrived in Saudi Arabia?"

"Yes, I just got off the ship."

Lu Zhiyu, who was on the other end of the phone, arrived in Saudi Arabia yesterday and waited outside the port early this morning. He was finally able to see the person he was looking forward to!

Upon seeing his unharmed daughter, Lu Zhiyu burst into tears before he could even speak.

He pulled Lu Youyou around and looked her over several times to make sure that her arms and legs were intact and her complexion was rosy. The anxiety he had felt for the past few days finally subsided.

"Come on, let's go back to China. Your mother is waiting for you!"

And just like that, Lu Youyou left the sea and was in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Comfortably nestled on her own airplane, enjoying the hometown delicacies carefully prepared by the chef, and listening to her father's constant concern and care, Lu Youyou's mind involuntarily drifted to her phone.

She knew that Gu Qingye wouldn't get off the ship so soon, and that she would have to wait for a reply. The friend request she sent would most likely expire without a response, but she still couldn't help staring at the black screen of her phone again and again.

Lu Zhiyu finally realized that something was wrong with his daughter and immediately became nervous.

"Youyou, what's wrong? Are you scared? Do you want to take a nap? We're safe now, don't be afraid, we'll be back in the country in half a day!"

"Dad, I'm not sleepy, and I'm not scared."

Lu Zhiyu was still worried: "Are you really not sleepy?"

Lu Youyou continued to shake her head. This time, she stopped staring at her phone and took out her computer to start searching for "Huaguo Meijun".

Now Lu Zhiyu was even more certain that he had guessed correctly. See? His daughter was scared!

She had never paid attention to military affairs before, but now she's actively looking for information, her screen filled with fleet numbers and ship models...

However, he felt he could never repay the life-saving grace. If it hadn't been the military that participated in the evacuation, he would have donated a large sum of money to express his gratitude.

Old Deer had no idea that his plump, healthy cabbage had attracted a mighty, powerful pig, and the cabbage had already swayed in the wind, stretching out a leaf to connect with the pig's head...
