That night, Huang Ting still gave her a phone number.
This number is stored in the address book. In order to prevent it from being turned over at ordinary times, she marked the name as ZZZ, so it will naturally fall to the end, but in fact, she memorized it at a glance.
Cover your ears and steal the bell, nothing more than that.
Two years later.
Gui Xiao was sitting in a simple lounge at a gas station in Inner Mongolia. "Others hold their wives at night. People like us hold the steering wheel at night," the two truck drivers complained. "It's a snowy night, and tomorrow's road will be tough."
She sat for more than half an hour, unable to stay up early, got up and pushed open the wooden door of the lounge, and walked to the steps covered with snow.
Will he come
The neckline of the black jacket is pulled under the tip of the nose.
"Is that friend of yours really here?" Xiao Cai also ran out from behind and asked shiveringly.
"Should it be?" Gui Xiao wasn't sure.
On the phone just now, she spoke upside down and hung up after asking for the address.
She waited until her feet were dead, and with the last glimmer of hope, she looked out the door. After another half an hour, my fingertips were no longer conscious, and I wanted to go back, but I was not reconciled. Just when Xiao Cai ran out for the fourth time, the pale car lights came in from the snow, and the snow-covered off-road vehicle drove in, did not go around in circles, and braked directly in front of the steps.
The half-opened car window was completely rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat was a thick black padded jacket similar to that of a special | police | operation | war | Recognized him.
"boarding."
This was the first sentence he said after not seeing each other for two years.
Gui Xiao ran to the car window: "The owner of the gas station asked us to go to the grassland first..."
"Get in the car." Lu Yanchen repeated without any emotion.
Gui Xiao was embarrassed, turned around to greet Xiao Cai, and let the remaining three men who were sheltering from the wind come out.
Everyone got into the car, and the four of them occupied the back, so of course they left the passenger seat to Gui Xiao. She hesitated to get into the car, pulled the seat belt to fasten it, and before it was buckled, Lu Yanchen stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
He still had the habit of keeping the car windows open no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.
The wind of the winter night came in, and the few people in the back seat shivered, and they didn't dare to talk much.
"Can the car window be closed?" Gui Xiao was so cold that he couldn't straighten his tongue.
Lu Yanchen glanced at her and closed the window.
When the glass slowly rose, stuck to the highest point, and blocked the wind and snow from the car, everyone in the back seat breathed a sigh of relief. But I couldn't help but muttered, Gui Xiao's "friend" is too cool...
Xiao Cai and the others are in foreign trade business, and Gui Xiao has invested in their company.
This time, I made a large logistics list. The goods will be sent to a logistics distribution center on the border of Inner Mongolia, and then sent to Outer Mongolia early. Xiao Cai and the others took the opportunity to drive and followed, and by the way, they talked about the business of cashmere products. This matter itself has nothing to do with Gui Xiao, but she felt uneasy when she heard the word "Inner Mongolia".
So, here comes.
Last night, when the blizzard hit, they temporarily avoided the gas station, and Xiao Cai's off-road vehicle was lost.
The owner of the gas station is also helpless, but he still advises them in good conscience, and there is an unwritten rule here. Car thieves will throw their stolen cars on the grassland not far away. They have all brands, Gan A and Gan H are the most, and they are thrown away densely and unattended. waiting to sell.
The gas station owner told them to secretly find their car, and then go to the police to claim it together.
This is the fastest way.
Xiao Cai thought it was feasible, but Gui Xiao suggested that he could find a friend for help, and he was here.
Gui Xiao didn't know whether he was discharged from the army or not, whether it was a special police or an armed police
Anyway, it's a job that can help.
In the heavy snow, the car drove for more than half an hour and parked on the snow-covered grassland. There were not only many cars with heavy snow on their bodies, but also large and small haystacks. At a glance, they were all stolen goods...
"Wait a minute, my local friends went to ask." He stopped the car and said the second sentence.
Then, he pushed the door down.
Xiao Cai raised her head in the back seat and said behind Gui Xiao's shoulder, "You friend, it's so cold that I'm too scared to say thank you." Gui Xiao looked at him standing at the front of the car, in the wind and snow, through the car window. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette around the fire with his hands, and said, "He has always been like this."
In the snowy night, the faint light in his hand was fleeting.
That light, falling on the cigarette butt, flickered in the dark night, burning her eyes.
"I'll go down... and have a word with him."
Gui Xiao pushed the door of the car and jumped down.
Because I didn't expect the snow on the grass to be so deep, it sank so deeply that I almost tripped and slammed the door with my backhand. Lu Yanchen followed his reputation and saw Xue Ye looking down at her down jacket, which was not resistant to the wind at all, and then at her obviously wet boots: "Isn't it too cold?"
She was in a trance.
When they were together, the two often stayed by the canal in the winter. One day she sat leaning on the beam in front of his mountain bike, nestled in his arms to avoid the wind, chatting for a long time, but he didn't make a sound: "You What are you thinking?"
He touched her sleeve: "what are you thinking? Why are your clothes wet?"
"Ah" she was embarrassed, "I told my aunt not to wash it, but she didn't listen to me, so I washed it anyway..."
"What did you wear without drying? Isn't it too cold?"
Why is it not cold, the smile is almost frozen on the lips.
After struggling for a long time, she let out a white mist and whispered: "I bought this new one, I want to wear it for you to see." When I came to see him in winter wearing half-dry clothes, I was moved to death just thinking about it.
He smiled down then.
At that time, the canal was full of old forests that had been raised for more than ten years. The wind was strong, and there were no people. Occasionally, people would ride bicycles to the sound of the car bell, and I was not willing to take a look at the two of them in winter. Young people fall in love. Gui Xiao shrank in front of him to avoid the wind with peace of mind: "Do you think it looks bad?"
"good."
good? Frozen to death, is it alright? She grabbed the neckline of his down jacket: "you never praised me, praised me for being good-looking, hurry, praised me for being good-looking."
He smiled, his pupils particularly bright in the moonlight.
…
Lu Yanchen looked away and continued smoking.
"Thank you, help me." Gui Xiao struggled to squeeze out these words.
"polite."
The cold air was blown into the bones by the wind, and she shivered uncontrollably, "How many years have you been here?"
He pinched the front of the cigarette with two fingers, took a deep breath, and let the smoke penetrate deep into his heart: "Nine years."
"Have you been discharged yet?"
"This year."
"Go back?"
"The resident public security special police detachment is specially recruited," he suddenly looked directly at her, "it's still in Erlianhot."
Later that day, he didn't stay long.
When his "local friends" came, he handed it over to the local police and drove away. The police drove the car directly and handed it over to Xiao Cai, and asked them to go back and make a record.
Because of Lu Yanchen's relationship, the policeman was very polite to them.
He closed the notebook of the transcript and formally started gossiping.
A few of Xiao Cai are in foreign trade, and they are the most knowledgeable. After ten minutes of chatting, the topic naturally turned to the cool and almost inhumane man.
"... After the new year, the road team was transferred from the anti-terrorism front line to the police training department."
"... From now on, he trains more than 1,000 special police officers every year. The road team really joined the army to fight terrorism. He took off his military uniform and continued to defend the people. He is a real man."
"... The doctor at the Armed Police Hospital said that the terrorists used a spear to directly put a spear into his mouth and sent it over. He was covered in blood. Later, I joked with him. You have such a sign on the road team, you have to be careful in the future. ."
"... Their squadron is full of top anti-terrorists, and dozens of EOD experts came out, but they were all robbed by the locals."
"... Team Lu broke down the bombs in thirty seconds without breaking a sweat. It's not a movie, it's a real thing."
…
These are all things she doesn't know.
In fact, since the separation, she didn't know everything about him.
Because the separation was so unpleasant that she couldn't have the cheek to ask his cousin Huang Ting. She could only occasionally hear from her aunt's family, oh, Huang Ting's family has a relative's son, who is a good college student. Go to the army. In the end, I went to Inner Mongolia, so it was so biased that it was difficult to transfer back.
Before they left the police station, the policemen didn't talk about it. In fact, it was because someone in their squadron was injured on a mission this time and was treated at the nearby Armed Police Hospital before Lu Yanchen could come here.
The police finally copied their mobile phone number to Gui Xiao, saying that Lu Yanchen was in the armed police squadron after all, and he could not come out at any time. If he encounters any troubles related to law and discipline next time, he can be found directly.
Gui Xiao took it and said thank you, but also said, please rest assured that I will not trouble him again.
After all, she really can't think of any chance to come to Inner Mongolia in the future.
But when he arrived at the hotel, Xiao Cai was still soft and hard, wanting to meet Lu Yanchen while he was still in the city, and thank him for having a meal. The remaining few partners also echoed.
Here, whether there is hero worship, whether you really want to thank him, or want to be covered in the future, in short, everyone is too enthusiastic, Xiao Cai still picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lu Yanchen.
"Don't fight, I'm not familiar with him... I'm afraid of embarrassment."
"What's so embarrassing, Gui Xiao, you are just ignorant, and they have done so much for you."
Because she was using China Telecom's network, and the signal at the gas station was not good, the previous call to Lu Yanchen was from Xiao Cai's mobile phone. Now that Xiao Cai has a phone number, Gui Xiao can't stop her even if he wants to.
"Hello? Road team?"
Gui Xiao was suffocated.
Xiao Cai winked at her and asked with a smile, "I want to invite you to a meal to express my gratitude. You don't know how important that car is to me. It was given to me by my husband just now. If I lose it, my family will change. Thank you so much."
…
"Just tonight, don't delay!... Okay, okay, I'll send you the hotel address later."
When the call was hung up, Xiao Cai was very happy: "Quick, change me into clean clothes and have a good meal."
Gui Xiao pulled out the clothes he had brought temporarily, hesitantly squatted in front of the box and didn't know which suit to wear. This kind of feeling, only people who loved someone deeply when they were young would understand. Finally, she wore a pair of sky blue trousers and a white sweater, a black ankle-length cashmere coat, and black short boots.
Looking in the mirror, he remembered that he was also wearing black military boots in the afternoon.
Go to the hotel and open the private room door.
There was only a little boy sitting inside, about seven or eight years old. He raised his head and saw Gui Xiao, his big eyes flickered, staring at her. Everyone was surprised and didn't know where the kid came from.
Xiao Cai said to the waiter, "Whose house is that, you ask, don't let the child go wrong, the parents are worried."
"Auntie, I belong to Lu Yanchen's house," the little boy grinned, "My dad went to smoke, so I stayed here to wait for the guests."
