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

Chapter 97 Can you sleep with me tonight?
Gu Qingye's gaze paused slightly.

The cold touch of the key fell on the palm of my hand, like a stone falling unexpectedly into a deep pool.

He held the key as if he were holding his heart.

Zhu Hongbing on the side was thanking the young clerk, and Gu Qingye's gaze had already shifted to the other side of the yard.

Lu Youyou was checking the bodies of Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui. The two little guys looked fine, but due to her professional habit, she couldn't feel at ease unless she checked them herself.

Zhuifeng remained calm, and only the wagging tail showed how excited he was about this sudden action.

Little Huihui is not so introverted. Every feather on his body says "praise me, praise me, praise me" written on it.

Lu Youyou would of course choose to satisfy such a great kid.

Seeing that no one was around, she took out some dried meat and stuffed a piece into it: "I'll give you the official reward when we get to your new home. I'll prepare a luxurious meal for you."

The golden finger that had no sense of existence forced her to become an all-round academic master, but its only advantage was that it was a storage room, which contained all kinds of top-quality ingredients, most of which ended up in the stomachs of Zhuifeng and Xiaohuihui.

The two of them ate with relish, which aroused Lu Youyou's appetite.

I ate half of my lunch and drank only a few sips of water in the afternoon without eating a single grain of rice. Now that the problem is solved, I feel anxiously hungry.

She wanted to ask Gu Qingye how to solve the dinner problem, but when she looked up, she met a pair of eyes like black jade.

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment, then she stood up when she saw him approaching, smiling, "Are you done?"

"Ah."

As he walked, the key in his pocket pressed against his skin through a layer of cloth, and every step he took reminded him that there was a sudden accident tonight.

"We have to stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

Lu Youyou was not surprised at all. After all, it was the 70s and there was not even a national highway on the road they were traveling. It was indeed unsafe to drive at night.

With Gu Qingye around, she didn't worry about these things. What mattered now was her empty stomach.

Lu Youyou raised her head and asked with a smile, "I'm hungry. What shall we eat?"

The setting sun cast a warm halo on her face, and her eyes were as bright and clear as glass.

Gu Qingye swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and smiled gently: "Are we still going to the same restaurant as at noon?"

Lu Youyou's eyes lit up instantly, they were in sync!
"Just the two of us? Where are your comrades?"

Gu Qingye asked Zhu Hongbing and Li Guoqiang if they wanted to join them. They both shook their heads in unison, saying that they didn't want to be a third wheel and that the Armed Forces canteen was pretty good.

The two of them walked along the same street they had walked on at noon. The scenery was the same, but Lu Youyou felt that everything was different.

She subconsciously moved towards Gu Qingye, and the distance between them shortened from half an arm's length to a fist's length.

Thanks to the motherland, she had never seen many criminals in her previous life. Moreover, she had bodyguards when she went in and out, and there was also a dedicated person in charge of security at the pet hospital.

Now suddenly she was told that a drug dealer passed by her at noon, how could she not be nervous? To be honest, she even wanted to hang on to Gu Qingye.

She keeps her eyes open when walking and her ears alert when eating. She watched too many police and gangster movies when she was a child, so her nervousness is subconscious and she can't control it for a while.

Lu Youyou sighed. The lunch was still the best. The half bowl of noodles that she didn’t finish would make her remember it for a long time.

After dinner, the moon came out. There were no street lights in the small county town, and the dark night was like a ferocious ghost.

Lu Youyou felt that even the distance of a fist was too far, and only felt safe when sleeves touched each other.

The clothes blocked the body's heat, but this barrier could not block Gu Qingye's perception.

He stopped and turned around. The distance was too close, and the faint fragrance invaded his nerves wantonly.

"The room in the guesthouse is ready." His voice was low and seemed to blend into the moonlight.

"What's wrong?" Lu Youyou was a little confused. "You said you wouldn't leave tonight."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from some house on the street, which was particularly frightening in the silent and deserted night.

Lu Youyou threw herself on Gu Qingye without thinking, and only after hugging his arms did she feel her heart land steadily on the ground.

She shuddered at the thought of having to spend the night in an unknown guesthouse in this small county town full of drug dealers.

"Can you do me a favor?"

She looked at Gu Qingye embarrassedly, her hands still tightly wrapped around him, with no intention of letting go.

"Can you sleep with me tonight?"

The already quiet streets became even quieter.

How could someone make such a big mess by mistakenly saying “live” as “sleep”!
Lu Youyou quickly explained: "I'm just afraid that the bad guys will retaliate, provoke trouble, break into the house, kill or burn people..."

She said a lot, but still couldn't hide the yellowness of her face.

For a moment it was difficult to tell whose heartbeat was causing the deafening sound.

Gu Qingye didn't expect the problem to be solved like this. He originally thought that if Lu Youyou minded, he would open another one.

It seems that it is not necessary now, but unreserved trust is the most profound test.

The Qingyang County Guesthouse was not far from the Armed Forces Department. The two of them went back to take Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui with them, and when they turned a corner they saw the two-story building of the guesthouse.

There was a middle-aged woman in her forties at the front desk, who seemed to be waiting for them.

"Comrade Gu and Comrade Lu, right? Please register."

The leader specifically instructed us to take good care of the four distinguished guests. Although we don’t know what the specific matter is, there were both police and militia members present in the afternoon, so there must be a big case.

Two young soldiers had just arrived and had already checked in. They were a married couple and were arranged to stay in the room at the eastern end of the second floor. As for the extra dog and eagle, they just pretended not to notice them.

"The room is ready. Please come this way," the middle-aged woman said enthusiastically. "The water room has hot water from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The toilet is at the end of this way..."

Lu Youyou looked around curiously. She had never stayed in a guesthouse before, so these words were almost like the dust of history to her.

Like most buildings in Qingyang County, the guesthouse is mottled and dilapidated, but fortunately it is cleaned fairly well and there is no smell of dampness or mold.

"This is the room. Please come in." The middle-aged woman opened the door and said carefully, "The sheets and quilt covers have just been changed, and the kettle is full. Is there anything else you two need?"

Lu Youyou smiled and said, "No, thank you."

"As you should." The middle-aged woman handed her the key. "There's someone on duty at night. If you need anything, just shout downstairs."

"I know, thank you."

"Then I'll go down, you two have a good rest."

The middle-aged woman closed the door and left, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Zhuifeng sat quietly, and Xiao Huihui stopped jumping around and stayed obediently in Lu Youyou's arms.

The room is not big, with two armchairs, a coffee table and, of course, the most important thing is that there is only one bed in the room.

A narrow, slightly cramped wooden double bed, the most common type of bed in this era.
