Five hundred and ninetieth chapters do not want to go back
Autumn in the imperial capital is magnificent and glorious, but also short-lived. The rich colors of autumn do not stay in people's memory for a moment, but disappear in the continuous autumn rain in the blink of an eye.
Since the beginning of autumn this year, the rain in the Imperial Capital has been particularly abundant. It usually starts raining after three or two days of sunny weather. The rain is not heavy, but it lasts for a long time. People who rain feel moldy and just blame God for leaks. Why?
It keeps raining..
"Here... wipe it quickly." Conway pointed with one hand while handing the paper box placed on the back seat to Gong Xue.
Gong Xue, who was wearing regular clothes, had her body and hair soaked by the rain, and looked quite embarrassed. She took the paper box, took out two pieces of paper, wiped her dripping hair and cheeks, tilted her head, and focused on driving.
Conway said: "Thank you."
Conway glanced at her disapprovingly, "If you hadn't met me, would you have been ready to run back to the camp in the rain?"
When I saw her on the roadside just now, she was running alone in the rain, with huge steps and splashing water. I thought something had happened to her.
In fact, there was a special commuter bus from where they were meeting to the dormitory area to serve single soldiers like her in Beijing. I wonder if she was in an emergency, so she didn't wait for the bus with her comrades, but ran back in the rain first.
..
If it wasn't a rainy day, he would have pretended not to see it and just thought she had run an extra five kilometers to practice her legs. But today was different. In addition to the weather, he was also keenly aware of Anjing sitting next to him.
, but her eyes were always staring blankly at Gong Xue outside the window, something indescribably strange...
He coughed lightly and was about to turn towards the camp at the next intersection when Gong Xue suddenly moved and pointed to the straight road leading to the outside world in front of him, "I want to go see Gao Lie's parents."
Conway was stunned for a moment, then he changed the direction and turned the front of the car onto the road, "The weather is bad, are you still going?"
Gong Xue hummed and said nothing further.
Conway touched his nose, stared at the golden ginkgo trees on both sides of the road ahead, glanced at her thoughtfully, and tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible, "Xiaoxue, are you homesick?"
Gong Xue's eyes narrowed, her fingers clasped together, and she whispered: "No... don't make blind guesses."
Conway smiled, sighed again, and patted Gong Xue's shoulder apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxue. The monthly leave I promised Ariel to you seems to have never been fulfilled.
.”
Gong Xue came to the imperial capital in midsummer, and it is now late autumn. The ginkgo trees beside the road have also gone through their most prosperous summer and autumn, from green to golden.
He was sorry for not fulfilling the promise he made to her and Gao Lie.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but there are too many thrilling and complicated tasks, strung together, making them like a fully-stretched bow string, always tense, unable to breathe, unable to rest, unable to live a normal life.
In the hottest days of the imperial capital, Gong Xue and six members of the action team stayed at the mission site with harsh conditions for more than half a month. The dark persistence and fierce fighting took a cruel and realistic toll on everyone.
Just when they successfully sniped the target and thought the nightmare experience was temporarily over, they, a group of seven people, were sent to another mission location by helicopter.
Time and time again, after completing three consecutive missions, they received orders from their superiors to return to the imperial capital...
At this time, more than two months had passed since they left the imperial capital.
Conway will never forget the feeling of shock and sourness when he saw the seven of them.
Although they had done a simple wash on the way back, the seven warriors standing in front of him had big cracks with the shadows in their memories one by one.
Even Gong Xue, who looked most like him, was almost unrecognizable to him.
If it weren't for the pair of black pupils that were as bright as before, still shining with the familiar brilliance, and if it weren't for the tall and straight military posture that refused to admit defeat, which showed her proud ambition, if he only looked at her haggard appearance, he would probably be wrong.
Saw her...
This is Gong Xue...
Fighting in the sky, Snow Eagle went out for the first time and used his impressive record to deliver a perfect answer to Team 530, to him, and to Gao Lie in the distance.
It was these fearless soldiers who taught him what supreme obedience is and the transcendent sense of mission and honor.
Even after three consecutive missions, thousands of kilometers traveled, from summer to autumn, and from winter to summer, and experienced the test of three seasons a year, not a single team member withdrew or asked why.
They successfully completed their missions time and time again with their beyond-the-limit endurance and incomparable fighting power.
Therefore, when he led his team to welcome the seven returning warriors, and when he saw the bright smiling faces of his comrades that he had not seen for a long time, he suddenly felt as if he was in another world...
Not to mention Kangwei, Gong Xue almost forgot that he had made such a promise to Gao Lie...
She was startled, and looked away from the rain-wet car window, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten."
Conway looked at her deeply and said, "What happened? Can you tell me? If it's because I'm homesick, I'll go back and see if I can..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Gong Xue, "I won't go back!"
After that, seeing Conway's inquiring gaze, she closed her eyes, turned her face, and explained: "I want to participate in the mission the day after tomorrow, and I don't want to go back for the time being."
Conway raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and sighed: "I don't understand, what do you think?"
At this point, Kangwei is 100% sure that Gong Xue and Gao Lie have been having problems recently...
At the intersection near the military compound, she asked to park, and Conway personally came down to give her an umbrella. She said thank you, took the umbrella without opening it, waved to Conway, and left.
Conway watched her disappear at the entrance of the supermarket before returning to the car.
After getting in the car, he didn't rush to start it. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, thought for a while, and then pressed the number of one of his contacts.
Gong Xue bought some fresh seasonal fruits in the supermarket, and also bought ten hairy crabs said to be native to Yangcheng Lake, and carried them into the military compound.
When she entered, she was stopped by an unknown sentry who asked her about her unit and name, and asked her to register in the guest book.
She didn't say much to the other party, nor did she pretend to be the commander's daughter-in-law. She just lowered her head and quickly wrote down the number of the Chengdu unit and the household she wanted to visit in her notebook as the sentry requested.
"Okay, take a look and see if there's anything wrong, and I'll write it down again." Gong Xue straightened up and handed the notebook to the sentry.
