Qin Zhi 'ai stopped and puffed up her cheeks. She was about to turn around and say angrily to him, "Can you stop calling me Little Lovemaker?"
But before she could say anything, he said, "I'm joining the army next Wednesday."
Qin Zhi 'ai froze in the midst of turning her head.
Enlist … Is he going to be a soldier? He graduated from high school, but instead of going to college, he became a soldier? The dreams he told her about were not just dreams, but he really wanted to realize them.
After a while, Qin Zhi 'ai came back to herself and slowly looked at Gu Yusheng. The words that she had wanted to say to him in anger were pushed out of her mind by the word "enlistment."
When Qin Zhi 'ai looked at Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng had just exhaled a puff of smoke. The smoke covered his face, so Qin Zhi' ai couldn't see his expression clearly. His voice was light and elegant, sounding especially pleasant in the night sky. "I'll be gone for five years. I won't be back in Beijing for at least five years."
Five years … Five years … I won't be able to return to Beijing? In other words, for five years, they wouldn't be able to see each other for five years?
Qin Zhi 'ai's hands clutched her clothes tightly. She stared at Gu Yusheng and didn't even dare to breathe. She was afraid that if she did, her tears would fall.
Gu Yusheng tilted his head slightly and stared at the streetlight not far away for a while. He seemed to have something to say to Qin Zhi 'ai, but in the end, he just turned back and said, "See you this weekend."
Then, he took two deep puffs of the cigarette in his mouth, put it out, and threw it into the dustbin beside him. He then turned around and returned to the car.
By the time Qin Zhi 'ai came back to her senses, Gu Yusheng's car was nowhere to be seen.
In those days, Qin Zhi 'ai was happy and sad at the same time.
She was happy about the date with Gu Yusheng, but sad that Gu Yusheng was about to leave Beijing.
At that time, Qin Zhi 'ai had always felt that Gu Yusheng might be interested in her. Otherwise, how could he know where her home was? Otherwise, why would he fight for her when Jiang Qianqian asked her to apologize? Otherwise, why would he do his best to protect her from being beaten by his father? Otherwise, why would he tell her about his hot-blooded mountain and river dream? Otherwise, why would he ask to see her alone before leaving Beijing? He even gave her his phone number …
But, you know what? On Sunday, it was raining heavily. Just like last time, she went to the entrance of the movie theater early. She waited for a long time, but he didn't show up. She walked in the rain for over an hour before she finally found a public phone booth. She called him, but the response was, "The number you have dialed is not in service."
She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it either. She dialed his number again and again until it was eleven digits. She remembered it by heart, but the only response she got was the same, "The number you have dialed is not in service."
