Chapter 82: His Mind
Bai Junyang saw that someone had entered the hotel before us, and asked me to leave to protect Xiang Yiyi, so he parked the car outside the hotel and went in alone to explore the bottom.
Today, the survivors who can wander alone are probably not ordinary people before the end of the world, they have experienced cruel disasters and man-made disasters, and I don't believe that there are still 'good people', so I can only think about the bad things first.
But I never expected that the person who came out of the hotel lobby would be Gu Yu, he got into the van directly after coming out, started the car and drove out of the hotel, passing by our off-road.
I wanted to roll down the window and stop him, but thinking of his identity and the torture he had endured at the experimental center, I held back, maybe he just came back to get something, maybe it would be better not to see us both.
On the bright side, Gu Yu may not know that I am being imprisoned in the experimental center, and I am now a 'fugitive' in the safe zone, and if I meet him, he will definitely be very conflicted in his heart, and he is afraid that the choice between loyalty and friendship will only be uncomfortable.
On the bad side, he knew that I was being locked up and what miserable situation I was in, but he couldn't help me, because he was always a person in the safe zone, and he couldn't disobey the orders of his superiors, so he didn't care about my life or death.
Whatever the truth, it's hard for us to face it, and while avoiding it won't solve the problem, it will at least make us feel better about each other.
Bai Junyang trotted out of the hall door after Gu Yu left, stood at the door and waved at me, with a happy face, I hurriedly got out of the car with my back to my back, and just walked a few steps, I saw two other familiar figures appear behind Bai Junyang.
"Mom, Dad!" I screamed in surprise and spread my legs and ran over.
"Daughterβ" Mom choked up before she could finish her shout, and Dad held her shoulders and comforted her softly.
They greet me, I run to them, and this scene should be the same as the countless reunions in the movie, no matter how old-fashioned, always moving the audience.
Bai Junyang stepped forward to take Xiang Yiyi, he dropped the sentence and said, then carried Xiang Yiyi into the hall, it was cold and windy outside, and I didn't want my mother's tears to freeze into ice bars, so I endured the words and pulled them out of the hall.
Bai Junyang threw himself on Xiang Yiyi, looking for a place to boil water and a quilt for her, while my parents and I sat down in the guest room where I stayed.
Naturally, my greatest concern was their safety, and now that I saw them all right, the flame of hope was rekindled, and for a moment I felt that the suffering I had suffered before was nothing at all, and the gloomy clouds and mist in my mood immediately turned into rain and sunny weather.
My mother hugged me tightly, as if I would disappear as soon as I let go, and during my days at the experimental center, they must have been so anxious, I felt guilty for my incompetence, and vowed in my heart that I would never let them be frightened or wronged again.
Dad hugged us at the same time, and the optimistic faction, who has always been calm, also had red eyes, my mother used to say that he was born with no tear ducts, and my mother was moved to cry and wipe her tears in TV series, Dad always disdained it.
I know it's because my dad has always regarded himself as a manly man, he only sees reality in his eyes, and he won't be sad about the stories made up by others, but if it touches the people he cares about and cares about the most, how can he not be sad?
"Daughter, tell your mother, where did they take you? Did he abuse you? Did they hit you? Yes? "My mother wiped her tears with one hand and touched my face with the other, her eyes full of distress.
"I'm just confined, they suspect that I carry the virus, thanks to the white seniors who rescued me, otherwise I might have been wrongfully killed by them, but don't worry, I'm fine now~"
"Do they really want to kill you?!" The mother glared at her father and complained: "I'll just say it, that Tuya smirked, there must be a problem, you still believe her, her daughter's affair is definitely her ghost, I think you are living more and more back." β
"Hey, she is the leader of the security zone, and she arranged a place for us to live, she said that her daughter will come back soon, I believe there is something wrong, and besides, I don't doubt her later!" Dad is distinguishing, but his face is full of deep remorse, Mom and I both know his character, he is hard-mouthed, in fact, I don't know what to scold myself into.
My mother suddenly changed her words and said to me, "Have you seen Captain Gu?" How did he go? β
Dad also asked: "Yes, it is up to him for me and your mother to escape alive, we have to thank people, he is now wanted by the security zone, if you want to escape, let's escape together, how good it is to have a companion!" β
"What do you say? He's wanted by the safe zone? HeβHe rescued you? β
"That's right, the other night, he suddenly came to our house and said that someone in the safe zone wanted to kill us, and asked us to go with him. Mom said with palpitations.
"After we escaped, there were people chasing and intercepting along the way, the shooting was like rain, and there was a loudspeaker shouting, saying that Captain Gu had violated the rules of the safety zone and was a dangerous person, and anyone who saw it would be killed." Dad made a gesture to recreate the thrilling situation when they fled.
I can imagine how thrilling the process of them being chased and killed, but Gu Yu's behavior really surprised me, no, it should be said that it was shock, he has always attached great importance to the safe zone, there are his comrades and jobs there, he even decided his marriage by the safe zone, and now he is openly betraying, why?
Don't...... Did he do it for me?
"Daughter, tell me honestly, are you friends with Captain Gu? He was so untalkative, he mentioned you as soon as he opened his mouth, and asked us a lot about you. β
"That's right, those who chased and killed us shouted with a loudspeaker, saying that you are dead, and want me and your mother to be disheartened, so that I can take the initiative to surrender to them, Xiao Gu doesn't believe it, he says that you can't die, even if you die and turn to ashes, he has to find a way to bring you back to life, whoever wants to move us, he will fight with whom, hum, your mother and I can see it, you two are tired!"
"That's it, what a good young man Captain Gu is, just right with our daughter, complementary personalities, and the right age, this man-"
"Mom, Mom, Mom, stop, what you say is true? Gu Yu really said that? β
Mom and Dad nodded in unison, and said with a serious face: "It's more true than pearls!" β
Since his parents have no opinion on Gu Yu, why did he leave? Thinking that it might be Bai Junyang who said something to him, I couldn't sit still for a second, so I rushed out of the house and ran to Bai Junyang's room and knocked on the door.
Bai Junyang just wiped Xiang Yiyi and changed into the hotel's pajamas, she lay peacefully on the snow-white sheets, like a princess waiting to be kissed by the prince.
"Senior, what did you say to Gu Yu, why did he leave? He saved my parents! Without waiting for Bai Junyang to open his mouth, I asked a series of questions.
"I didn't say anything, just said that I rescued you, you are my person now, no one wants to touch you." Bai Junyang asked with a puzzled expression: "I covered my little brother, who knows what he is angry about, maybe he knows that he can't beat me, go back to his safe zone." β
"Senior...... You, your people...... This is too ambiguous! β
"Ambiguous? Do you want to die, my wife is lying in bed, saying that you are my person's fault? You are now my little brother, of course my man. β
"Okay, I'll serve, don't disturb the reunion of the boss and sister-in-law, I have to hurry up and chase someone."
It is said that with Gu Yu's character, he will not be easily annoyed by a few words said by others, I never thought that I was so important in his heart, so when he left, I didn't think about anything else at all.
Now that he's a wanted man in the safe zone for me, I'm going to have to talk to him anyway, open and honest!
I was stunned when I ran out of the hotel, the world is so big, where can I find someone? Besides, without the teleporter, I can't even drive, and I was so anxious that I almost shed tears.
I have always known that I have a good impression of Gu Yu, I like to be with him, and I am willing to live and die with him, and even I have long felt that I am already friends with him in life and death.
But I didn't realize until now that this kind of relationship was not pure, maybe earlier, in those days when I fought side by side, I had a different affection for him.
It is precisely because of the change of mood that I worry when he is hurt, cry when he 'dies', throb when he praises me, sulk when he uses the object of supervision to define our relationship, and even want to draw a line with him.
And now, of course, anxious for fear of his misunderstanding, afraid of the possibility of losing him, all of this is because I like him?!
I can't blame my emotional sluggishness, I have never experienced such complex feelings in the first twenty years or so, family and friendship are always so obvious, I don't need to dig into my heart to feel them.
The sound of the car motor sounded, I hurriedly looked back, my father drove the off-road vehicle towards me, he rolled down the window and shouted "Xiaorou, get in the car, don't stand stupidly, if you delay your work, my son-in-law will run away!" β
At this time, I didn't talk to him, I jumped into the co-pilot's seat and urged him to drive quickly, my mother and Xiang Yiyi should be okay with Bai Junyang to take care of me, and it is just right for my father to be my driver.
Dad drove a car all his life, enlisted in the army when he was young as a car soldier, and later demobilized and drove trucks, buses, and long-distance buses, and drove buses for five years before the end of the world.
Dad chased the wheel prints of Gu Yu's van all the way north, but twenty minutes later, we saw the van on the side of the road, and it was thrown on the side of the road, and the door was not even closed.
Dad got out of the car to check the condition of the van, and I searched everywhere for footprints, but the result made me very uneasy, Dad said that the van was out of gas, but I found more than a string of footprints in the snow on the side of the road, and these footprints added up to five people, that is, in addition to Gu Yu, there were four people, and these four people did not get off the car with him, because there were only footprints of Gu Yu next to the van.
