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

Chapter 371 [Extra] What Year Is It Tonight? (7)

The space on the ship is quite large; if you don't specifically look for it, you might not come across it for several days.

But Lu Youyou didn't feel that way at all. To her, the size of the ship was only visually impressive, because whenever she appeared on the deck, she could always see Gu Qingye.

In fact, the fleet officers and soldiers are very busy. They often train and work for up to 18 hours a day. They don't even have time to sleep or rest, let alone wander around.

But Gu Qingye always made the most of his spare time to be by Lu Youyou's side, knowing that their time together was running out.

After escorting the evacuation team to Saudi Arabia, they will return to the Gulf of Aden to continue their escort mission, and it is unknown when they will see each other again.

Even if he had absolute confidence, reality is always full of surprises, and time and space are his greatest enemies.

So while most of the evacuees could only entertain themselves by watching the sky, the sea, and the fish to pass the time, Lu Youyou had a full-time "chat companion."

Although each conversation was short and the duration was not fixed, Gu Qingye's presence made her three days adrift at sea incredibly fulfilling.

Lu Youyou was never coy or hesitant, nor was she oblivious to her feelings. Gu Qingye's attitude was so clear that she naturally sensed it.

Although it's still a blur and the future is full of uncertainties, we're young, so why not give it a try?
Do you have WeChat?

Lu Youyou sat cross-legged on the deck, turned her head, and her clear voice drifted into Gu Qingye's ears like a breeze.

He stared at the QR code in front of him, paused for a moment, and then the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

"We can't bring our cell phones when we're on a mission."

Lu Youyou vaguely heard the cries of seagulls, which seemed to be laughing at her.

Very well, your first attempt to take the initiative in life has ended in a Waterloo, so... does this mean rejection?
Hmph, I don't want to add it anymore. Just because the young lady doesn't put on airs doesn't mean she has no airs.

Just a second before she narrowed her eyes and prepared to adopt a pretentious tone, a slender hand took her phone, exited, and left a string of numbers in her contacts.

"This is my phone number and WeChat ID, but I can only accept your request after I finish my task. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."

Lu Youyou's palms were still hot. The moment they touched, she couldn't help but recall those few minutes when they ran hand in hand through a hail of bullets.

That solid, reliable feel still lingers in her palm, remaining vivid even after so long.

"long?"

"Hmm?" Lu Youyou looked up suddenly and saw him holding up his phone and smiling at her. "Hmm, I understand, it's okay..."

She quickly grabbed her phone back, holding it without looking at it. The gazes around her seemed to be burning her, making her too embarrassed to turn around.

Awooo—Awooo—

Even the seagulls seemed to be watching the spectacle, their cries growing louder and louder.

Although Gu Qingye loved seeing Lu Youyou blush, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous since he hadn't won her over yet.

Look over there—

"Huh? What?"

There's a big fish over there.

"Where is where?"

Lu Youyou, channeling her veterinarian instincts, grabbed the railing and peered out as soon as she heard there was a big fish.

She stared at the calm sea for a while, then turned to Gu Qingye with a hint of suspicion. "Are you kidding me?" "Look!" Gu Qingye pointed to the northeast of the bow of the ship.

A huge figure leaped out of the sea, and a faint rainbow appeared in the splashing waves.

"A blue whale?!" Lu Youyou exclaimed in surprise. "How did it end up here?"

Blue whales typically hunt at depths exceeding 100 meters and rarely surface during the day. Furthermore, the Red Sea is a long and narrow area, so few whales venture there.

Although this was Lu Youyou's first time in Africa, it wasn't her first time in the Red Sea. She had tried snorkeling and scuba diving during her vacation, but had never seen a blue whale before. Even her diving instructor said that large fish were rare in the area.

Although she studied veterinary medicine, she had only seen a few of the world's largest mammals. Looking at the big creatures playing on the sea, Lu Youyou's eyes were filled with excitement.

Gu Qingye thought of the Orca-1 from before. If it were that ship, would it still recognize them?

I've heard that orcas are mostly long-lived, and perhaps one of them is still living somewhere in the world. Maybe I'll have a chance to see it again.

"What are you thinking about? You spend most of your time at sea, do you often see whales?"

"No, we can only observe the sea surface for a long time during patrols. Most of the time we work inside the cabin."

"You, studying veterinary medicine, must have come into contact with these things quite a bit, right?"

Gu Qingye already knew where Lu Youyou went to school and what she was studying, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

In her past life, she was deeply loved by animals. Not to mention Little Grey and Chasing Wind, so many dogs in the dog team couldn't walk past her. Orca One also took the initiative to approach her on their first meeting.

It seems she was born with this kind of affability, so it's not surprising that she chose this major.

"Hello, Captain Gu! Hello, Comrade Lu!"

"Captain Gu, the weather is really nice today. Comrade Lu, I wish you a pleasant journey!"

"Comrade Lu, the movie room is open. You can watch movies there. If you can't find your way, Captain Gu can take you there."

Several soldiers on leave took a detour from behind the two men, greeting them and offering advice. They all had dark complexions and their smiles revealed two rows of big white teeth.

No one was so bold on the first day, but on the second and third days, people kept "passing by" like this, and even Lu Youyou got used to it.

She rarely interacted with soldiers, and living and eating together like this was something she had never done before. At first, she was a little shy, but she got used to it later. When someone greeted her, she would respond generously.

As for the teasing in everyone's words, well, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, blushing will never catch up with her.

On her last night on the ship, Lu Youyou dreamed of Gu Qingye.

The person in my dream is him, yet it seems not to be him. He also has a "Lu Youyou" by his side. They are married and have two adorable children, from their youthful days to their old age...

When Lu Youyou woke up, she was still a little confused about reality and illusion. When she saw the familiar military green and dark blue in the cabin, she immediately pulled the blanket over her head.

That's it, she's beyond saving!
Before anything even happened, she had already brought the soldier home in her dreams!

While eating breakfast, she was still immersed in the afterglow of her dream. Usually, she would forget what she dreamed about as soon as she woke up, but today it was the opposite; the images in her mind became clearer and clearer.

As soon as she stepped onto the deck, her gaze automatically locked onto the tall figure in front of her.

What to do? Go there or not?

I just dreamt of being intimate with someone and having children, so seeing the real person now makes me blush and my heart race.

Gu Qingye stood at the bow of the ship. The coastline of the Arabian Peninsula was already in view. The fleet was about to dock, and the time for parting was approaching.
