At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 378 - : 377 Chapter: Boarding the Ship

Chapter 378: 377 Chapter: Boarding the Ship

Gu Yu looked at the window covered with an iron curtain. The environment inside the vehicle wasn’t very bright, clearly not wanting him to see the route outside.

Thus, he tactfully refrained from asking the soldiers where they were taking him and switched the topic instead.

“How did you find me?”

He pulled his arm out from beside a soldier. The interior was not only dim but also somewhat cramped.

A pickup usually seats five people, yet there were six people inside now.

Additionally, with Lin Xinyue, the female student, the two soldiers in the backseat squeezed at the door on the left, and Gu Yu wedged in the middle, the already narrow space seemed even more crowded.

“Big shot, finding you was all too easy.”

The soldier sitting tightly next to Gu Yu glanced sideways at him, then his eyes roved up and down Gu Yu’s body.

You could see a trace of disdain on his face, rough and peeling from the sun’s harsh exposure.

But this disdain wasn’t hostile, merely an underestimation of Gu Yu initially.

“Haha.”

Gu Yu chuckled, gave a laugh, and wisely didn’t continue the inquiry.

He could sense that the soldiers weren’t keen on engaging with him.

Besides, there wasn’t much they had in common to talk about.

It’s not like he could casually ask if they had eaten, right?

The pickup drove very smoothly, with no bumps along the way and even the turns were minimal.

Gu Yu pulled out his mobile phone to check the time, half-past two, an hour and a half since he had left the hotel.

Before he could put the phone back in his pocket, he noticed three soldiers staring at him cautiously, or more precisely, at the mobile phone in his hand.

“Haha, just checking the time.”

Gu Yu smiled awkwardly.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, it was nearly a misunderstanding that he was messaging someone outside.

Gu Yu had no doubt that if he had opened a messaging app just now, his phone would have been confiscated on the spot.

The three young soldiers turned their heads back and continued to stare blankly at the seatbacks in front of them.

“Yu, I’m feeling a bit sleepy,”

Lin Xinyue couldn’t help but yawn. In such a cramped and stuffy space, it was easy to feel sleepy.

The soldiers’ gazes quickly shifted back to them and seeing Lin Xinyue leaning on Gu Yu’s shoulder, all three couldn’t help but show a hint of envy.

They rarely saw girls in their unit, let alone one as beautiful and celestial as her.

Their gazes lingered for quite a while.

“We’re a few minutes from disembarking. Please switch off all your communication devices. Our destination must remain confidential.”

Just as Lin Xinyue had rested her head on Gu Yu’s shoulder, the small window in front was suddenly opened, letting in a beam of natural light, then blocked by the face of a man who appeared slightly older.

From the resolute forehead and fierce eyes of the man, it was clear he was a military officer.

“Okay,” Gu Yu nodded and dutifully shut down his phone.

In such circumstances, he really had no right to negotiate terms.

Lin Xinyue did the same, though her lips pouted slightly, not out of dissatisfaction with shutting off her phone, but because she was very sleepy.

The entire compartment still reeked of men’s sweat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

“Please understand,”

The officer, seeing Lin Xinyue pouting, slightly frowned but still uttered a word of apology.

“She’s just a bit sleepy, not upset about the phone being turned off.”

Before Lin Xinyue could explain herself, Gu Yu spoke first.

Lin Xinyue quickly nodded, “Yes!”

The officer held his gaze for two seconds, then shut the iron window again.

The light in the rear of the vehicle returned to its previous dim state, followed by a jolt in the pickup, and sounds of metal clashing from underneath—the sound wasn’t of the chassis scraping something, but rather like a ferry’s boarding ramp colliding with the concrete ground.

The sole reason he knew was that Gu Yu had ridden the ferry across the Huangpu River many times as a child.

Every time the ferry docked, it would make such a collision sound.

Recalling the recent upward bump, Gu Yu knew that the pickup had boarded the ship.

Just as Gu Yu was contemplating when he could get out of the vehicle, it suddenly came to a stop.

Due to inertia, everyone’s bodies leaned slightly forward.

Then someone opened the rear doors of the vehicle, and the sudden burst of light made Gu Yu squint involuntarily.

As the harsh natural light slowly faded, Gu Yu saw the face he had just glimpsed through the small window.

“Both of you, please get off the vehicle! We’ll need to transfer soon,” Officer Zhuang Chong stated loudly.

Gu Yu helped Lin Xinyue out of the truck, and as soon as he landed, he saw that he was on a small ferry surrounded by not just the pickup behind him but, upon scanning, at least seven or eight vehicles on this ferry.

Apart from the soldiers standing by the boat’s edge, their hands gripping real weapons, there were several others in civilian clothes just like him.

“Where is this?”

Gu Yu took a few steps, but due to having been in the vehicle for too long, his footsteps were still unsteady, slightly wobbly.

He casually asked the officer where he was.

Now that he had gotten off and was actually on a ship, he naturally had the right to know where he had been taken.

Nor would he naively assume that this ferry was the Ark, a medical ship.

“We are taking you to the Ark’s tender ship. Due to the urgency, the Ark couldn’t dock, so we had to use this method to get you onboard,” Officer Zhuang Chong explained expressionlessly.

Gu Yu wanted to ask why they were in such a hurry to depart, but seeing that the officer didn’t seem keen on talking, he let it go.

Three young soldiers behind him also got out of the vehicle and then walked over to another group to regroup.

“It’s really hot…”

Gu Yu raised his head, squinted at the sun that looked like a blazing fireball, and then placed his hand above Lin Xinyue’s head.

Lin Xinyue, who initially felt her face being scorched by the sun, suddenly appreciated the cool shade, looked up, and saw Gu Yu’s broad palm, feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.

“Shall we wait over there?”

She took Gu Yu’s hand, pointing to a shaded spot underneath the ferry’s control room where several old men were leaning on the protective steel bollards chatting.

Gu Yu glanced at Zhuang Chong, who showed no reaction, and knew they could move around freely on the ship.

So he nodded and led Lin Xinyue towards the shaded area.

As they got halfway there, one of the old men resting on the steel bollards began to look increasingly familiar.

Gu Yu took another look at his figure.

It was indeed Dai Zhengguo!

“Hey, isn’t that Mr. Dai? Was he brought here as well?”

Following Gu Yu’s gaze, Lin Xinyue also recognized Dai Zhengguo.

“One rain spans across two continents, waves scouring the heavens and earth flow east! Who can match this?”

Dai Zhengguo was busy showing off his literary expertise to the two old men beside him.

The two balding, Mediterranean-style old men were frantically scratching the sparse hair on the sides of their heads, completely at a loss for how to respond.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu swiftly made a shushing gesture to Lin Xinyue, and then they both quietly walked over.

Coming up behind Dai Zhengguo, Gu Yu clasped his hands behind him and leisurely said:

“Yet men and events are hard to exhaust with the waves, and are taken along with wind and thunder on a distant journey~”

“Well done! Well answered!”

The scratchy old men’s outlines shook, and they all turned around to see who it was.

Dai Zhengguo, who hadn’t expected such an obscure poem to be matched, connected with a voice that seemed very familiar to him and quickly turned around.

Upon a hard look!

Hey! It was that rascal Gu Yu!
