The reporters at the scene, especially the ordinary social media among them, were finally satisfied.
Although they did not get any opinions or comments from Major Qing and others about the Mars expedition today, they did catch Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei's girlfriend.
Moreover, that girl is also a reporter. Even because of their colleagues, there were some reporters present who were familiar with her. They had dinner and chatted with her at the same table.
"Damn it, I look for Xixi Fengrui news everywhere like a paparazzi all day long. I didn't expect that the big news is always around me."
"Yeah, haha, what's her name?"
"Yao Yue."
"Yao Yue? Is he the one who was rumored to have led Second Lieutenant Wen to parachute thousands of miles to rescue people and was picked up at Ya Yuejiang University in the Chinese Department?"
"...Probably. At that time, a silence order was issued about that incident. When we heard about it later, we all thought that for safety reasons, the little girl must have been hidden by the golden house. Unexpectedly, she became our colleague, spending all day long Run outside.”
"Yeah, but she's made it public now..." The reporter who answered raised the camera in his hand. There were photos of Second Lieutenant Wen and Yao Yue. He wanted to say, can this still be published? Will the girl be unsafe in the future?
"Don't worry, since it was Second Lieutenant Wen who decided to make it public like this, he must have his own considerations and arrangements. Don't forget, Xixi Fengrui is such a big deal, and he is usually in charge of everything, no matter how big or small. , this is such a small thing, we don’t need to worry about him.”
The reporter thought for a moment, put down the camera in his hand, and said, "That's right."
On the other side, after saying hello to Han Qingyu, Wen Jifei and Yao Yue quickly disappeared on the street corner outside the square.
Then, Major Qing and his group also left, chatting and laughing all the way. The atmosphere seemed much more cheerful, but they still refused to answer any questions.
The reporters dispersed in a mixture of disappointment and joy, probably rushing to break the news. The incident about Second Lieutenant Wen and his reporter girlfriend, although it certainly cannot replace the Mars expedition itself and become today's headlines, it is certainly one of the biggest selling points.
Except for the previous rumor of "a hero saving a beauty", the world still doesn't know about Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei's girlfriend.
And at this time today, it happens to be a few hours before Lieutenant Wen Jifei, as deputy commander, is about to set off on an expedition to Mars. At this time, the two people made it public and began to fall in love and date... How romantic, and the kind that is even more shocking. , only belongs to the romance of the battlefield.
"Don't look, don't look." Yang Qingbai, who had just come over, waved his hand in front of Xi Mei twice as he walked, "If you are really envious, you and Qingzi can go too, anyway you..."
"Bang!" Xi Mei turned her head and kicked him away, but because he was Yang Qingbai (except for the fact that he barely used source energy to build a good body, his combat effectiveness was basically zero), and his leg strength was not strong enough. Dare to be big.
She is afraid of this now.
If she was still Yang Tieyu, just Yang Tieyu, then of course there would be no problem. If Yang Qingbai said this, she might even take the initiative to answer the conversation and tease the dead iron.
But everyone is already aware of the current situation, and they also know that others are aware of it, okay?
The best she could do was to continue to hold on and deceive herself and others. A dead pig would not be willing to admit it even if it was boiled by boiling water. It won't work if she wants to be as "arrogant" as before... What if that piece of dead iron is forced to panic and yells out "Tie Niu" or "Rui Mei" in front of her face? Why shouldn't she explode in embarrassment on the spot?
"You're the only one who talks a lot." Liaison Officer Yang clapped her hands and glared at Yang Qingbai, seemingly saying, who can tell who is the dog first... Then her heart tightened, and her worried eyes quickly turned to He Tangtang.
Compared to Yang Qingbai, He Tangtang is undoubtedly much more dangerous and lethal in such matters. If he opens his mouth...
He Tangtang did not intervene.
He didn't even look here. Under the gaze of Xi Mei, he lowered his head and walked leisurely.
"What's going on here?"
It was a rare occasion to see Tangtang in such a depressed state. Xi Mei was worried and confused for a moment, and then quickly understood: "Isn't it possible that Tangtang fell in love with the scene... Also, speaking of Tangtang and his first love, from the moment they met to the end, it was also... It was just a two-time meeting, and then he attended her funeral. When we were in Antarctica, he didn't even take a bite of the grilled fish she was given, let alone fall in love or date."
"What's so rare? Huh... let's go, Tangtang, let's go find a place to eat by ourselves." Liaison officer Yang Tieyu walked over, tiptoed and put his hand on He Tangtang's shoulder, dragging him away, as if she was still It's the same armor as before.
In fact, compared to those reporters and the public outside, Xixi Fengrui had already known and confirmed that Wen Jifei had a girlfriend long ago, and his girlfriend's name was Yao Yue.
Several of them have also been in contact with Yao Yue.
However, it has been more than three years since this incident was mentioned, and there have been very few actual, formal romantic relationships between Wen Jifei and Yao Yue.
…………
"So, why did Second Lieutenant Wen suddenly become so indifferent today?" Yao Yue asked proactively, raising her head under the Ferris wheel in the playground specially opened for two people.
The girl wanted to fall in love. She had been thinking about it for a long time, starting from the rooftop of Yuejiang University at that time, but Wen Jifei had never been proactive or enthusiastic, and she, a girl, couldn't do anything about it.
"I used to be afraid that you would lose your freedom and your own life, and that I would die as soon as we got together." Wen Jifei tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Because, you know, that Han Qingchong, no matter how dangerous it is, always They all have to go...so I have to follow them everywhere. I really don’t know when I will suddenly die. Maybe I am still dating you on the front foot, but I will die on the back foot."
"You're afraid that I won't be able to bear it, are you?" Yao Yue opened her eyes wide and hesitated for a moment before saying, "But that's not important, because even if we're not together... it's still the same to me. As for With work and freedom, I guess even staying at Xixi Fengrui Base will be interesting enough."
"How much exclusive news will I get then, haha." In order to adjust the atmosphere, Yao Yue made a joke.
Wen Jifei understood what she meant, nodded with a "hmm", then raised his head and smiled and said:
"Actually, I figured it out later. It's just that I've been busy lately. The Mars thing, isn't it all over if I lose? I have a lot of things to think about, and I don't dare to distract myself, let alone I don’t dare to let myself fall into that kind of state of falling in love with you. I’m afraid that I’m not urgent enough, anxious and worried enough, and hardworking and struggling to survive.”
"Understood." Yao Yue nodded, "So today you suddenly behave like this...will you come back? Will it be safer if you are the commander and stay on the spacecraft?"
Wen Jifei really wanted to say yes and firmly said that he would come back. This is how it is played in TV and movies. However, he thought about it and said, "I will try my best."
"Try your best, what do you mean?" Yao Yue said a little unhappy.
"The meaning of trying my best is that as long as there is still a little hope and possibility... I will bring everyone back together." Wen Jifei said.
Yao Yue also understood his hidden meaning. He hesitated for a moment, exhaled, raised his head, looked at the Ferris wheel and said:
"Okay, then let's start dating. Starting from riding the Ferris wheel, we have to hurry up. I have a lot of things that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I want you to do them with me."
After saying that, the girl took the initiative to take Wen Jifei's hand and ran towards the Ferris wheel.
…………
The waiting list for the expedition prepared by Wei Lan was not used in the end.
It's just that when the veterans came back, they brought back wine, stacks of XX magazines, and sacks of cigarettes, which made people a little speechless and helpless.
Mexico local time, October 28, 1996, night, 8 o'clock.
Located on the outskirts of Mexico City, the huge site specially opened for this expedition has only been roughly leveled, without any pouring, and weeds and shrubs are still growing around it.
On a moonless night, the boundless sky is pitch black, shrouding and oppressing everything.
Hundreds of searchlights set up in all directions of the field came over and formed a network in the air near the ground. The light dispersed like fog, and the red lights on the ground used to mark the location of the source energy battleships made it appear strange and full of murderous atmosphere.
Sixty-six dead iron battleships with cold visuals and different shapes lie quietly on this land of intertwined light and darkness.
Four of the motherships are as huge as four black peaks, and the rest are like lakes, buildings, rocks, houses, and prehistoric beasts...
The rejector's high-altitude shots showed all this in front of the world. But, that's just a perspective. And this time there was no introduction or explanation added from beginning to end.
In this way, they presented, simply, quietly and unpretentiously, this human Mars expedition fleet, and the last hour before they set off to leave the Blue Star.
In front of the TV, people all over the world watched all this quietly and intently, this fixed, almost motionless picture.
Under the high-altitude long-distance lens, the huge expedition site looks like a foreign prehistoric wasteland, with the tiny figures of a hundred thousand expedition soldiers silently shuttled between the light and darkness, shadowy...
"Then, I'll wait for you to come back." On the small slope at the edge of the field, downhill, this was a farewell without instructions or instructions, Yao Yue said standing behind him.
Wen Jifei turned around and said, "Okay. And..."
"I don't want any more." Yao Yue interrupted him like a willful girl in love.
But Wen Jifei still persisted and said, "Also, if the news that comes back is not good, remember not to believe what they say about the defeat of Mars, and mankind will be finished. By then, the world may be in chaos for a while, and you and your family You must stay in the base and then... wait."
Wait, what are you waiting for? Wait for him, or wait for hope to be rekindled in humanity's desperate situation? Wen Jifei didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and patted the photo they just took today in his chest pocket, and then waved.
"Yeah." Yao Yue nodded and waved.
Under the dim high-altitude image, there is a scene that no one can see clearly: the girl is still standing and watching, while the back of the soldier carrying a spear resolutely walks forward and quickly disappears among the passing figures.
I haven’t finished writing yesterday’s chapter yet, so I’ll continue and everyone will read it tomorrow morning.
