"You probably haven't rested well. There's a service area downstairs. Get out of the car and rest for a while. Eat something while you're at it." Xia Jinyuan, who was looking straight ahead, yawned and said, "I'm a little hungry. I need to eat something to fill my stomach."
Speaking of hunger, Ye Chien suddenly felt a little hungry too. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drive after you eat. You rest."
The journey was long, so the two of them had to take turns driving.
When they arrived at the service area, Ye Chien looked at the line of cars and suddenly laughed. "Seeing the cars without camouflage and the people in casual clothes, I suddenly feel like I've been separated from the world for a long time."
It was true. Ever since Ye Chien joined the Pioneer Battalion, he had never walked out of the Gobi Desert. The barracks were filled with soldiers in camouflage. Now that he suddenly saw people in casual clothes, Ye Chien was not used to it. He even felt that it was a little strange.
There were very few service areas on the Northwest Highway. There was only a very simple service area after a few hundred kilometers. Every car that passed by would enter the service area to rest. Now that there were many cars, many passengers got out of the cars to rest.
Some were on road trips, some were going to and from various cities, and some were going into the Gobi Desert to participate in construction. Those from Tiannan were all resting and replenishing their food at the service area.
Xia Jinyuan, who was following the car in front, was amused by Ye Chien's strange expression. There was a teasing smile in his eyes. "How do you feel about returning from a primitive society to a civilized one?"
"I'm not used to it." Ye Chien smiled and sighed. "It's only been half a year, so I'm really not used to it. Captain Xia, do you feel the same way? "
Officers and soldiers who stayed in the army for a long time would feel the same way as Ye Chien. Officers and soldiers in remote units would feel the same way.
Xia Jinyuan also felt the same way in the past. He found a place slightly further away from the service area and parked his car. He smiled and said, "I did before, but I got used to it. You'll get used to it in the future too. Sometimes you don't even want to go back to the bustling city. You just want to go back to the army as soon as possible. "
"Oh, no wonder you left in a hurry every time you saw me. So you didn't even want to see me." After getting out of the car and taking a few steps, Ye Chien, whose dizziness had dissipated a lot, deliberately found fault with her. "To think that I miss you for a long time every time you leave, and it takes me a long time to get used to it."
Xia Jinyuan chuckled. "After I got to know you, I hated how short my vacation was. Even if I only had two days off, I still wanted to fly over to see you. I have collected seven calendars. Excluding the year when I first met you, from the following year onwards, every time I saw you, I would draw a heart on the calendar. I will show it to you when you return to the team. "
This small gesture made Ye Chien smile sweetly. She looked at him with watery eyes and pursed her lips into a smile like a flower bud waiting to bloom.
When she returned to the team, she had to take a good look at those calendars.
She had to count how many times she and Captain Xia had met over the years and how many days they had spent together. She wanted to see if there were any discrepancies in her memories.
Ye Chien was a female soldier with an incredible memory. As long as she tried to recall, she could also recall every day they had spent together.
The car was parked a little far away. In order not to damage their military image, the two of them, who were wearing camouflage uniforms, did not walk hand in hand. Instead, they walked side by side. When they passed by a row of cars, Xia Jinyuan paused slightly and walked away without leaving a trace.
Other people did not notice his pause, but Ye Chien did. Her eyes followed him closely and looked at the row of cars, but she did not find anything.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly, looking a little wary.
