Chapter 935: Late Contact
"Ah, Mr. Pilot! - Okay, you know the location of the communication room, right? Just keep going inside. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh! Thank you. β
While walking into the headquarters of the independent battalion, he greeted the officer on duty with a thought, and Long Yun, who was carrying a satchel, walked in the bright corridor of the building, and the bright sunlight separated by the columns and the wall shone obliquely on the ground, and there was dust drifting in the air, adding a bit of haze in the staggered changes of light and shadow.
Walking in the corridor facing south, the sun was abundant, the cold wind was slightly subsided, and he felt a little warm from the sun, Long Yun, who was preoccupied, slowed down his pace, and slowly walked forward with his hands in his pockets.
The retrospect after the fierce battle made him feel a little afraid, and for a second or two, Long Yun almost began to doubt the decision to come to the Middle East, and he was wondering if it really made sense to participate in this war? Then I thought of Wang Weiguo's long talk, the mysterious black aircraft in the night sky, and the "giant fighter" that appeared in the Syrian sky, while dispelling the hesitation, the young man also felt a burst of amazement, and now it has been some time since he came to the Middle East, but the mysterious flying machine that is ghostly and invisible in the night sky still can't feel a clue.
On the day he was shot down by the ECJA assault plane, the "giant fighter" he saw from afar, the black giant bird that was significantly larger than the ordinary model and looked even bigger than the assault plane, was really the mysterious flying machine he had been tracking......
Coming with a faint hope of exploring his life, but deep in the treacherous quagmire of the Middle East civil war, Long Yun walked through the sunny corridor and came to the door of the communication room with some melancholy. He showed his identity documents and passage stamps to the soldiers standing guard. Pull open the door and slowly walk into the room. Some thoughts on the road before. A little discouraged by the NATA volunteer pilot's intuition that often discerns the prospect is a sign that this trip to the Middle East war may hardly provide him with any clues about his personal background.
After trying his best to return to the liberated area, in the communication room of the independent battalion headquarters at Fort Charqat, Long Yunqing, who was about to contact his lover, was a little depressed.
Lazily wrenching his fingers, he calculated what time it should be in the afternoon in Pakistan and what time it was in the evening in Beijing, the capital, and felt that it was appropriate to call at this time. But what is the reason for this?
While mechanically connecting the lines and setting up the tablet in a good position, Long Yun reacted after a while, why he was a little in love when he was finally able to video talk to Su Xue after going through hardships and dangers, not so much because he was worried about the danger of the battle, or the mystery of his own life experience, but because he was afraid of his lover's temper - if he remembered correctly, just outside the gate of San Francisco Harbor after confessing to Su Xue, this little girl did say that if she "couldn't call but didn't call", she would definitely be angry!
I was thinking about finding a reason. In a hurry, there was nothing to think about, and before Long Yun could come up with a reason. The phone has been answered.
Separated by a few time zones, in Beijing at night, the silver-white Yanhuang 635 sedan is driving slowly on the inner ring road of the capital. Caught in the dense traffic, when I was concentrating on driving, I heard a unique ringtone of my mobile phone, and the little girl in the seat was surprised to tap the panel, and at a glance I confirmed whose phone it was, and quickly picked it up without thinking about it:
"Hey, Long Yun?!
- You, wait a minute, I'll find a place to park! β
"Ahh
Seeing the interior of the sedan on the screen for the first time, the lover who was obviously driving cut the perspective to the camera in the car, Long Yun saw Su Xue in the driver's seat leaning over and looking for a temporary parking space on the side of the road with a look of surprise, and his heart was temporarily relaxed.
It seems that after calling a few days late, this little girl didn't expect to be angry with him, right?
As soon as they connected the phone and saw each other's appearances, it was equivalent to reporting safety, and Long Yun, who was sitting at the table, was a little speechless, and he hadn't thought about what to say to his lover who was thousands of miles away -- the battlefield adventure he had just experienced must not be missing a word, and making up a little topic of aviation training casually didn't seem to be very appropriate.
After a short pause in the chair, he saw that the scenery outside the window on the screen moved slowly, and the car stopped in the special berth, and he was hesitating to say something sensual, and said to his long-lost lover, "I miss you so much."
"Okay, why did you call? - Y-Where have you been running all day? β
To Long Yun's surprise, he hurriedly parked the car on the expensive roadside berth, and turned on the double flash, Su Xue, who had just become angry as soon as the surprise appeared, lost his temper at the image of the lover on the center console, although the real person was not in front of him, the little girl who had been worried about him for a few days still swept over:
"It's worrying to death, and there is no response to sending emails, and people can't find the news when they go to the Internet!
Long Yun, you, you nasty ghost with big nerves, are you busy working every day, so you throw us all out of the clouds? Do you know how worried people are, why don't they call? You...... What are you busy with in Pakistan? How is life, the weather has been colder recently, do you have to add clothes in time according to what I have prepared? β
"Oh-oh, yes! There are clothes,"
is rarely taught a lesson by a lover, Long Yun in front of the screen here is simply shocked into a cold sweat, the girl who never loses her temper is the most frightening, once he gets serious, he can't cope with it at all; But fortunately, when he heard Su Xue talking, he couldn't help but reveal his gentle and considerate nature, and he was busy picking up the conversation:
"Look, I'm not wearing it; It's not too cold here in Hyderabad," Long Yun thought to himself as he spoke, he must find out the weather in Pakistan before calling next time, so as not to accidentally goof, "It's just that the climate is a little dry, uh, I eat fruit every day and drink plenty of water." Oh! Recently, the situation has changed, and the Pakistani military and political authorities have also strengthened security, and everyone in the aviation training base cannot go out or use communication equipment, which caught me off guard, hehe. β
While talking endlessly at the camera, Long Yun barely suppressed the bad feeling of deceiving his lover, and the strong concern on the little girl's delicate face made him feel a little more guilty, so the words became extraordinarily fluent, and the small movements of raising his hand and scratching his head from time to time betrayed the tension in his heart.
This kind of cramped appearance was originally nothing to hide in front of Su Xue, who had a very high emotional intelligence, but because the two of them could get along with each other, they could snoop through their consciousness, whether he or the young pianist had no habit of observing his lover's words and feelings, these obvious signs of lies became a normal expression of guilt in Su Xue's eyes, the little girl showed a shallow smile of understanding to the camera, and between the words, she still couldn't help but chase a few times:
"That's right, no wonder it's been delayed for a long time; But it's still up to you to blame, you have to run so far away, once you can't get in touch, it's very worrying. β
"Haha, how do you say that, it's 'for the country', isn't it a bit of a boast when I say that?"
When it came to things related to the current situation, Long Yun was a little emotional, he subconsciously quickly skipped these topics that were easy to talk about, and saw that Su Xue was driving on the road by herself, and Shangguan Ling, the eldest lady, was missing, so he diverted the topic and asked his lover if he was going to pick her up.
How many days have I not been in touch, it is rare to have a video call with my lover, in fact, no matter what topic I say, Su Xue nodded happily and said "yes", and then told SΓΉ Longyun that she has been really busy in recent days, in addition to the main work of the Galaxy Orchestra, she also has to take time to participate in the New Year's concert hosted by the Ministry of Culture in accordance with the above arrangement, and has carried out several preparations, rehearsals and other activities:
ββ¦β¦ Now, it's almost the New Year, and I'm busy with both things. Moreover, Long Yun, since you ran to the place of 'Hyderabad', there has been no one around you to communicate with me, although I am with Ling every day and I am considered to have someone as my companion, but it really feels a little weird.
So, speaking up, when will you come back? β
"Well, ......"
When it comes to the time to return to China, Long Yun is a little difficult, he has not been in contact with China recently, he has not even had the opportunity to receive emails, and he doesn't know how the above arranges his work. Moreover, with regard to the current civil war in the Middle East, it seems that China, the United States, and the Soviet Union are about to intervene, and if the situation of the war changes fundamentally, then his mission will also change completely, and the so-called "when to return to China" is really a matter that cannot be explained.
Even so, in the face of his lover's expectant gaze, of course he couldn't tell the truth:
"Let's put it this way, there's no very definite timeline yet; It will definitely work before the Spring Festival, and as for the specific time, sooner or later, we have to ask about the above arrangements again. β
"'Before the Spring Festival'......"
Calculating the time in his heart, there is still more than a month between now and Chinese New Year's Eve, and Su Xue, who was a little disappointed in her heart, sighed slightly on her lips on the seat; However, thinking that although it was a long time, at least there was a definite hope, he still seized the time to communicate with his lover, so he turned to ask Long Yun with a smile how he was doing recently, how his life and diet were habits, and asked him coldly, "The training matter is so confidential that you can't even find any news on the Internet, is it secretly training pilots for the Pakistani military"?
