[Full-time Chusu] Dreaming of death

Su Mucheng, who was extremely brave, was safe now, but she was terrified of something as if she was still in shock, and her words became hasty, "I drove here and took you back together. I think I can pick you up to the venue tomorrow, you how do you feel--"

"Wait." Chu Yunxiu pinched Su Mucheng's hand and stopped, looking at her worriedly, "...Mucheng? What's wrong with you? Seems a little... nervous?"

Su Mucheng shivered unconsciously beside her as if she had been hit by a rumor, but soon calmed down, and nervously shook her head to deny Chu Yunxiu's guess, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine. , it might be too cold—”

How is it possible——Chu Yunxiu immediately recognized Su Mucheng's clumsy lies, and her subordinates worked harder, their eyes fixed on her, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Su Mucheng raised her eyes and stared at her blankly, her eyes were disturbed and blank, like a frightened child, "...I, I'm very worried..."

Her voice quickly collapsed, "I was passing by Ca Square...then I saw those guys, I didn't want to stop at first, but I felt very uneasy when the car drove away, so I turned around and approached and found you were there ...I didn't think it just now, but now I don't dare to think about what will happen to you if you don't go back...They will really kill people. Many journalists from Western countries were executed before..."

Chu Yunxiu had heard Gao Yingjie say something like this before, and if he listened to it again, it would have lost the impact it had at the time.But in retrospect, she was only a little flustered just now, and there was no real fear in the slightest.She didn't know where the confidence that she should die came from, but at this moment she hoped to give Su Mucheng the same confidence. "I also want to thank you, so much 'hard currency' was spent just to save me... How much is that stack?"

"I don't know." Su Mucheng lowered her head, as if avoiding Chu Yunxiu's gaze, "Take out everything in your pocket, I don't know how much... You must bring money with you when you go out, not I If you don’t want the currency of the country C, you can bring the U.S. dollar, and you don’t need the currency of the country C..."

"Okay, I'll remember." Chu Yunxiu let go of Su Mucheng's hand, gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and half-joked, "But I don't have that much money, do you think they will accept cool oil?"

After Su Mucheng hired a car from Chu Yunxiu's news department, she returned to the embassy of country C. Chu Yunxiu introduced her to Wang Jiexi and briefly explained what happened in Plaza Ca.After Wang Jiexi finished listening, he expressed his gratitude to Su Mucheng very formally in accordance with the etiquette of foreign teachers. Chu Yunxiu took the opportunity to propose to stay Su Mucheng for dinner at the embassy. Originally, such behaviors had special meanings, but the current national ceremony has collapsed. , no one paid attention to who was eating together in the foreign embassy, ​​Wang Jiexi nodded and agreed after thinking for a moment.However, before Chu Yunxiu had time to laugh, the second secretary Xiao Gao, who is usually in charge of cooking, said that he planned to eat hot pot tonight to improve the collective life, but there was not enough material--after speaking, he specifically stated that it had nothing to do with Su Mucheng, and it was not enough if she was there or not. .

After Wang Jiexi listened to Gao Yingjie's report, his eyes flew to Chu Yunxiu who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa.The person who almost got into trouble jumped up suddenly and said repeatedly: "I'll buy it, I'll buy it, I'll try my best to do whatever I want to eat." Su Mucheng was still muffled by Gao Yingjie's overly honest speech, Hearing Chu Yunxiu express his determination, he couldn't sit still.If a news officer followed this person, he would almost be detained. If he didn’t know the way, he would go out to buy groceries without knowing what would happen. “Let’s go with Yunxiu, I know the way better.”

Gao Yingjie was overjoyed, and quickly took out a thick stack of grocery shopping money from his trouser pocket and stuffed it to Chu Yunxiu. He almost bowed three times at the scene, "Thank you, sister!"

Chu Yunxiu was holding the pile of money, her eyes were straight - it was basically all the currency of country I, with a few US dollars in it - the currency might not be strong enough.Su Mucheng stood aside and watched her face almost laughing to the ground, and felt that she should maintain a good image in front of Wang Jiexi, so she couldn't bear it anymore and dragged her away, "Hurry up, if the store closes later, we can only go It's a black market."

Hot pot is originally a simple and delicious food that can bring people closer together. Although the materials available in the I country on the eve of the war were limited, the dinner was still enjoyable for the guests and the host.Gao Yingjie's craftsmanship was highly praised by Su Mucheng, and the young man blushed so frighteningly that he felt extremely embarrassed.Originally, Wang Jiexi kept calm and serious considering his status as an ambassador, so he couldn't help but show his strength after a round of eating, with a gentle smile in his actions and words.

However, no matter how happy they were, everyone present knew that Su Mucheng was not allowed to stay overnight in the embassy.Therefore, they didn't feel much reluctance when they said goodbye, and Chu Yunxiu, who was most familiar with her, was also the calmest.Tomorrow is the day of the International Anti-Apocalypse Conference, and I will definitely not be able to eat for a whole day with the camera in my arms. Thinking of this, Chu Yunxiu suddenly stood up and stopped Su Mucheng, who was about to open the door and leave, "Mucheng, wait wait."

Su Mucheng paused, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yunxiu lowered her voice subconsciously, she didn't want other people in the embassy to hear their conversation, although there was nothing to avoid, "I'll prepare our food and water for tomorrow."

"Eh?" Su Mucheng was taken aback, she didn't expect Chu Yunxiu to be so enthusiastic, "Then you can go with my car tomorrow."

It sounded like some sort of deal was being made—Chu Yunxiu was a little upset for unknown reasons, "I don't want to exchange anything with you, the Ministry of Information will definitely provide cars for foreign journalists tomorrow, and I'll pay for the car hire." Still affordable..."

In the end, even she lost her confidence, and the $1500 she paid to the refugee camp last time was almost her limit.After arriving in City B, although Wang Jiexi gave her some money, it was still a drop in the bucket. The "hard currency" she could get out was probably only that bag of cool oil.But when she mentioned that when she was preparing food and water, she never thought of taking Su Mucheng’s ride or anything, and it seemed impossible to explain how to explain it after she said the words rashly——

But Su Mucheng waved her hands indifferently, as if she quickly adapted to the different intimacy between the two, "I know you can afford it, but it's better to be with me than those idiots from the news department, yes wrong?"

——Of course it is certain, but Chu Yunxiu still hesitates.She didn't want Su Mucheng to misunderstand her in any way, even though she knew that the other party would not care about these things anyway.Su Mucheng saw her confusion, a smile flashed across her face, and she invited again, "I really want to go with you, do you want to?"

Chu Yunxiu glanced at her in surprise, then smiled and gave an affirmative answer, "Well, okay, let's go together."

The next morning, Su Mucheng drove to Country C's embassy to pick up Chu Yunxiu. The two went to Hotel L to collect a pass and invited a press officer to board their car.This is one of the preferential treatments for journalists in country C. It is not mandatory to hire a vehicle from the news department to travel, as long as they are accompanied by a news officer from party I when they go out—Chu Yunxiu has been using the car of the news department before because all the cars she can use are The embassy of country C registers vehicles, and official vehicles are obviously not allowed to be used by reporters for news use.This time the press officer seemed to recognize Su Mucheng, and knew that this was actually a reporter from his country, so he greeted her first after getting in the car.Su Mucheng was busy driving, so a few casual words were regarded as a return.Probably due to the fact that Su Mucheng's colleague can act as an interpreter during the recent interviews, Chu Yunxiu's Arabic level is still at the same level.After thinking about it for a long time, she gave up her plan to talk to the press officer, and leaned against the car window in a daze.

Due to the tense situation in City B, no one wanted to make more troubles at this time. The International Congress scheduled to be held on January 1 went very smoothly.Foreign journalists who have been working poorly due to restricted movement have seized the opportunity to show their talents, wishing to report on the religious conference as a world-wide grand festival—in fact, this can indeed be regarded as a festival for the residents of City B, at least It can temporarily lighten the shadow over their heads.Every family staying in City B has marked January 9th in the calendar, which is the date mentioned in UN Security Council Resolution 1 on November 15 last year—if before 11:17 on January 678, 1991 The I side's troops have not completely withdrawn from the K area, and the Security Council will authorize "all necessary measures"-they have less than a week left.

But there is no doubt that the president of country I has no intention of withdrawing troops at all-not many people in the whole country have this intention. In their eyes, the K area is completely an inherent territory since ancient times. The so-called independence is basically treason, and it is natural for the government to send troops to suppress and recover the land.When Su Mucheng gave Chu Yunxiu science popularization like this, Chu Yunxiu couldn't help laughing. He panted and said that he understood what was going on. It was fundamentally because the two sides had different views and involved the distribution of interests of big countries. Such a thing—then Su Mucheng covered her mouth with one hand.

Her expression was almost as serious as Wang Jiexi's, "Don't talk nonsense."

It was only then that Chu Yunxiu realized that they were still sitting on the sofa in the lobby of Hotel L, surrounded by reporters speaking all kinds of gibberish.It is not safe to do anything in a crowded place, let alone discuss the international situation. If they are not careful, they may be thrown into prison by the military and police.Embarrassed, she pulled away Su Mucheng's hand and held it, then made a grimace, "I forgot."

Su Mucheng and Ren Chuyunxiu held her hand, looked at each other and smiled, and saw the same tenderness in each other's eyes.At this moment, a noise that could almost blow over the roof spread from the hotel entrance
