Desperate
Chapter 22 Chapter 22
Liang Qian's car drove into the dark tunnel, and the overhead lights in the tunnel passed over the man's face one by one, illuminating his rarely quiet appearance from time to time.
Dou Huaiye sat in the back seat with some anxiety, folded his hands on his chest, and glanced at Liang Qian's expression in the rearview mirror from time to time.
The man looked as usual, but he was abnormally silent.
If it was normal, Liang Qian would have started chattering a long time ago, and Dou Huaiye was sure that he would probably be able to chat from the uncle who was the gatekeeper of the warship building recently scored twice until "Hemera" was equipped with the latest torpedoes, Dou Huaiye's reaction was also the same Simple enough, just filter out his words as garbage.But today, Liang Qian's uncharacteristic silence made her feel at a loss. Dou Huaiye had never seen Liang Qian like this before, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
As for why Liang Qian is so honest now...
Thinking of this, Dou Huaiye scratched her hair even more irritably, and the originally soft chestnut hair was messed up by her.She still doesn't understand what kind of mentality she has just agreed to Liang Qian.
She obviously annoys him, Dou Huaiye thought, this man seems to have gone in the direction he hates the most, from Liang Qian's face that is more charming than women to his personality with no lower limit.
But ask yourself, do you really hate him?Thinking of this, Dou Huaiye suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Even though his brain was frantically clamoring for an affirmative answer, a certain corner of his heart was filled with hesitation.It was this hesitation that made Dou Huaiye unable to draw a conclusion.
"I say……"
"Dou Huaiye."
The two people who had their own concerns spoke out in the closed space at the same time. Dou Huaiye was startled, and subconsciously backed down: "You speak first."
Liang Qian silently glanced at Dou Huaiye's gem-like green eyes in the rearview mirror. The clear lake green reminded him of the emerald green lake water on the islands he visited when he was a child.He felt that the two pools of water overflowed into his heart silently, and an impulse forced him to ask what he shouldn't have asked: "Dou Huaiye, why did you agree to come to eat with me today? You are not born Am I mad?"
Liang Qian's words almost hit her heart, and Dou Huaiye herself was in a mess, so escaping seemed to be the only way at the moment, she looked away from the window: "You were the one who said you wanted to invite me to dinner to apologize."
Liang Qian opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.The hand on the steering wheel was clenched for a moment and then released, he sighed inaudibly, and felt that what he said just now was really lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
He took a slight step back and stopped forcing her: "Okay, then you can choose what you want to eat."
At this moment the car drove out of the tunnel, Liang Qian stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared on the viaduct, Dou Huaiye subconsciously reached out and grasped the handle of the car, she saw Liang Qian's slender eyes narrowed, and the ear The blue sea is reflected in the window glass.
This profile, this person, has not changed at all from the appearance Dou Huaiye saw for the first time at the southern border.
The sea water reflected the afternoon sun, and the ripples scattered the reflection of the setting sun, sparkling like a handful of gold, which also disturbed Dou Huaiye's heart.
Dou Huaiye is an outlier in this small research institute located in the south.
This temporary research institute is composed of scientific researchers who moved from the north. There are not many people, but they all know each other. Even when the research project is not going well, the atmosphere is not tense.The empire has been fighting continuously for years, and the main battlefield is in the northern seas, so there are many families who fled from the north.The experience of escaping from the dead always brings the small family closer.
But there was only one young woman with a short head, and there was not even half a person who came to visit her throughout the year, which made several caring flower protectors in the research institute feel pity.
This petite woman with a bright face seems to never realize that she is conspicuous, on the contrary, she seems to prefer to hide herself in the crowd.At the beginning, there were not a few people who approached Dou Huaiye because of his appearance, but after a few months, the staff of the research institute, especially the men, began to realize that this skilled beauty seemed to have a bad temper .
Those lake-green eyes seemed to be wrapped in dancing flames, if they approached casually, they would burn themselves at any time.
In addition, there were rumors that Dou Huaiye was just practicing in the research institute, and she was already a technical backbone scheduled by the military, so no one dared to provoke her.
And Dou Huaiye didn't seem to have the slightest plan to change her temper. She just commuted to and from work in silence every day, as if she had made up her mind that I wouldn't come to mess with you and you wouldn't come to me to mess with you, but fortunately, she was very skilled. , coupled with the blessing of rumors, gradually no one bothered her anymore.
It's the end of the year again.Dou Huaiye looked at the scorching sun outside the institute, and the endless sea sparkled under the scorching sun at noon.She sighed, everything here, even the climate was quite different from what she had imagined.Dou Huaiye's hometown is in the north. Whenever the new year comes, it is always covered with snow and silver, instead of being in summer all year round.
The hot weather did not weaken the festive atmosphere in the research institute at all. Recently, news of the empire's success has spread frequently, and the researchers are all discussing that the day to go home is coming soon, so the stalls of this kind of festival are even more lively.Although it is stipulated that there should not be any holidays during this special period, the boss gave everyone a half-day holiday just talking to himself, and everyone went back early to celebrate the new year.
Only Dou Huaiye turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to work from the dawn of the sun until the dusk.It wasn't until after staying in the laboratory for eight hours that Dou Huaiye raised his head from the smell of diesel and shook his sore neck from side to side.The woman in a white coat glanced out the window, only to realize that the sky was covered with the blood red of the setting sun.
Dou Huaiye quickly closed her eyes, she only felt that the bloodshot eyes hurt her, and her beautiful appearance was full of boredom.Women suddenly start to feel tired, tired from the chattering superiors, tired from the never-ending tasks, and even more tired from the status quo of being alone.
The face of that gentle and kind man appeared in front of Dou Huaiye again, and Dou Huaiye had to admit that no matter how hard she worked to numb herself, she would never forget him for a moment.
What can I do if I can't forget it, he will never come back again.
Dou Huaiye shook his head self-consciously, as if he could put these annoying emotions behind him.She turned off the welding torch, put the model back in the cabinet and locked it, and then took out the electronic key of the laboratory from the boss' drawer familiarly.
Dou Huaiye watched coldly as the iron fence of the research institute slowly closed——she couldn't remember how many times she left the lab for the last time.
Dou Huaiye dragged his heavy legs and walked out step by step.She was surprised to find that there was a military truck parked in the parking lot that should be empty at this time on weekdays.
When Dou Huaiye saw the military vehicle reflexively, her whole body became stiff, and the fatigue all over her body disappeared in an instant, replaced by the fear that made her unable to move.
The appointed time has come?Are they here?
The door on the right side opened, and a khaki Martin boot stepped carelessly on the concrete floor.A tall man came out of the cab, and his huge sunglasses blocked most of his face.He turned his neck and looked around for a week, then suddenly cursed unexpectedly: "What kind of broken place is this, let girls live here?!"
Dou Huaiye was stunned.
This...how is it different from the officer in her impression?
Is it a fake and shoddy product?Dou Huaiye came back to his senses and looked at the man's epaulettes. There were indeed three silver stars emitting a faint brilliance.
The man's disgusted eyes were blocked behind the sunglasses, and he finally turned his attention to the visitor after he finished complaining about this rural place in his heart.He raised his chin slightly, looking at Dou Huaiye from head to toe.
Well, not bad.In addition to not being distracted by his attire, the man pouted at Dou Huaiye's dirty white coat. Overall, he was considered a beauty, and it was not in vain that Liang Shao had waited here for three hours.
He waved to her in a good mood: "Get in the car. I'm here to pick you up." After speaking, he opened the passenger door on the left for her in a gentlemanly manner.
Dou Huaiye's heart sank heavily, she numbly walked to the side of the car, glanced at the smiling man with his arms on the car door, bit her lips, and decided to fight for the last bit of dignity for herself: "Can I... go back Pack your bags...it won't be long."
Even though he knew that he was guilty, Dou Huaiye still wanted to go back and put away his things and take them with him.The woman thought humiliatingly, the big deal would be to be rejected by this person, and then, like last time, be blindfolded and stuffed into the car, and be taken to a ghostly place where birds don't lay eggs again, just obey their arrangement.
Looking at his huge pair of sunglasses, Dou Huaiye's heart was in a state of ups and downs. If he couldn't see his expression, how could he guess the mind of this military man.
"Are you in such a hurry to pack things?" The man raised his eyebrows.
This time it was Dou Huaiye's turn to be suspicious: "Didn't you come to escort me to transfer?"
Only then did the man understand what Dou Huaiye meant, and laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny: "Yes, yes, I am here to escort you. But I am here to send you to the military academy, no? I will send you to the execution, so you don't have to worry."
While talking, the man saw Dou Huaiye's eyelashes fluttering, and that little appearance that felt humiliating and tried not to let himself show timidity made his heart itch, so the man viciously pulled the girl who was propped on the car door The hand moved a little closer to the girl, and the chest almost forced her to lean against the car: "We have several days to prepare."
His tone was ambiguous. Ever since he took up his post, Young Master Liang has stayed in a barracks full of men. Not to mention women, he has never seen a mare in the whole camp. Now that he has such a good job, if this man He doesn't mind having fun with her.
But obviously Dou Huaiye wanted to disappoint him: relying on her short stature, the woman escaped from under the two arms that imprisoned her like a slippery loach.
Liang Qian took a breather, and waited for the woman to get into the car angrily. After getting into the car, she slammed the door, and the truck roared towards the road.
Dou Huaiye sat in the back seat with some anxiety, folded his hands on his chest, and glanced at Liang Qian's expression in the rearview mirror from time to time.
The man looked as usual, but he was abnormally silent.
