Chapter 65 A Dream for Eight Years, Full of His Face (7)
Qin Zhi'ai stopped in her tracks, puffed her cheeks, and was just about to turn her head when she said to him in annoyance, "Can you stop calling me a little do-love?"
But before she could say that, he said, "I'm going to enlist in the army next Wednesday."
Qin Zhi'ai's movement of turning her head stopped instantly.
Enlisting in the army...is it going to serve in the army? He graduated from high school, did not go to college, but actually served as a soldier? The dreams he told her were not just dreams, but he really wanted to realize them.
It took a while for Qin Zhi'ai to come back to her senses, and slowly looked at Gu Yusheng. The word enlisted in the army was squeezed out of her mind when she was about to speak to him angrily.
When Qin Zhi'ai looked at Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng had just exhaled a puff of smoke. The lingering smoke covered his face, preventing Qin Zhi'ai from seeing his expression clearly. It is especially pleasant to listen to: "I will go away for five years, at least five years, and I will not be able to return to Beijing."
Five years... Five years, can't you come back to Beijing? In other words, five years, five years and won't he see her?
Qin Zhi'ai's hand gripped tightly on her clothes. She stared at Gu Yusheng, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that if she did, tears would fall.
Gu Yusheng turned his head slightly, and stared at the streetlight not far away for a while. He seemed to have something else to say to Qin Zhi'ai, but in the end he just turned around and said to Qin Zhi'ai, "See you on the weekend."
Then, he took two puffs of the cigarette in his mouth, extinguished it, threw it into the trash can, and turned back to the car.
By the time Qin Zhi'ai recovered from what Gu Yusheng said about "walking away for five years", Gu Yusheng's car had disappeared.
During those few days, Qin Zhi'ai was happy and sad at the same time.
Happy to have a date with Gu Yusheng, but sad that Gu Yusheng is leaving Beijing soon.
At that time, Qin Zhi'ai always felt that Gu Yusheng might be interested in her, otherwise why would he know where her home is? Otherwise, why would he fight for Jiang Xianxian when she asked her to apologize? Otherwise, why would he try his best to protect her from being beaten by his father? Otherwise, why would he tell her about his passionate dream of mountains and rivers? Otherwise, why would he ask her to meet alone before leaving Beijing? Even gave her her phone number...
But, you know what? It rained heavily on Sunday. Like last time, she went to the entrance of the cinema early. She waited for a long time, but he didn't come. She walked for more than an hour in the heavy rain, and finally found the public phone booth. Called him, and the response to her was: the number you dialed is an empty number.
She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it. She called his phone number over and over again until the number eleven was memorized by heart. The answer to her on the phone was always the same sentence: The number you dialed is empty number.
