In the next few days, Luo Zhubi returned to the past and stopped pestering Gu Chen.
Gu Chen walked a lot more briskly.
Bai Xian looked at her and felt that she was like a light butterfly. She could fly accidentally.
The corners of his lips moved slightly, with a faint radian, as if her happiness could infect him.
However, such a good mood did not last long.
The artillery fire finally spread to the French concession, and many Japanese soldiers poured in.
When he was in the army that day, Gu was on his way home from work.
She was frightened.
Bai Xianyuan fell behind her and accelerated to catch up with her.
He whispered, "Miss Gu, I have offended you."
He was tall and carried Gu to his bosom. They got into a small alley next to him and hid between the two houses.
The space was as like as two peas. He could smell her faint fragrance and the same smell as that scarf.
Gu Kun did not dare to look up and shrunk in his arms, his shoulders shaking a little.
After about ten minutes, the footsteps in the street faded away.
Gu Zhen was relieved.
Bai Xian only feels that time flies, and this time is gone all at once.
Returning to his mind, he looked down at Gu Chen and found that her face was red. He didn''t know whether it was blown by the cold wind or something else.
He was stunned, a little sour and a little sweet, and all kinds of flavors were mixed together.
He led Gu Yao back from the path.
"There is no safe pure land in Shanghai. Even the French Concession can enter Japanese soldiers." Gu said to him, "I have to leave Shanghai."
In Bai Xian''s heart, he found a thin path covered with flowers.
With this sentence, his road collapsed and his heart fell into the darkness again. There was no light and it was bitterly cold.
His body may have trembled.
"Yes." He answered in a low voice.
War is a national event, and defense is also the duty of soldiers. He is not qualified to say or do anything. Even if he wants to be a soldier, people may not want him.
These little people can only hide.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked.
Gu''s mind is very confused.
She was afraid, but she didn''t know how to go, just pure fear.
"I don''t know. Where can I go?" She murmured, "maybe when I go back to the countryside, my mother asked me to go back to my hometown as soon as I have something to do, but there are wars all the way. Where can I go back to my hometown?"
She was at a loss.
Bai Xian almost wanted to say: there are soldiers on the road and there are dangers everywhere. You can stay in Shanghai and I can look after you.
But as long as his surveillance task is over under one order, he is no longer qualified to appear next to her, let alone protect her.
He didn''t say such irresponsible words.
He just accompanied her and walked home silently.
Before long, the Japanese soldiers in the French Concession withdrew again and restored the pure land, but after hearing a lot of things, the government moved.
In the noisy days of gunfire, Shanghai is a little quiet again.
No matter how the war is fought, it will not delay the rich men and women from reading newspapers and listening to plays.
Gu was terrified for a few days, calmed down again and went to work normally.
In addition to reporting on the war, newspapers also reported some trivial matters. For example, a recent murder in the French Concession attracted competition from various newspapers.
Gu Zhen also has a female colleague who is a reporter running outside. She is pregnant.
She was fine. She was suddenly hospitalized.
Gu Zhen took fruit and cans to see her. While her husband went out, she grabbed Gu Zhen: "Xiao Gu, you have to help me."
Gu Chen asks for help.
"Do you know how I got pregnant? It''s the house of the murder. I climbed over the wall and went into the second floor. When I came out, I was in a hurry and got my stomach." Colleagues said.
Gu Chen was stunned.
She''s never seen anything so desperate.
The female colleagues around her work very hard, because if they don''t fight, the newspaper would rather have male journalists, and they will lose their jobs.
Not everyone has a family. Once unemployed, it means going hungry.
Newspapers are one of the few decent places for women. "... unfortunately, I lost my press card. I suspect it was on the second floor of the foreign house. Xiao Gu, it has been blocked by the military and police. Once they find my press card, I won''t be framed as a murderer, but my job must be
I can''t keep it.
You see, I''ve just had a baby. I need money everywhere in my family. The boss and the editor in chief said that I was always diligent and willing to give me three months of paid maternity leave. At this juncture, I...... "
At this point, the female colleague cried.
Don''t cry at the scene of the murder case. "Are you sure you''re worried about losing your fetal certificate?" "I''m not sure." The colleague said, "just in case. Gu, can you help elder sister? Elder sister doesn''t dare to tell your brother-in-law, otherwise he will persuade me to resign. He always has a good face and doesn''t want people to know that his wife makes money and sticks to the family. He always says I am
Work for interest. "
In addition to her husband, she doesn''t trust other colleagues.
Gu is not brave, but he knows that his livelihood is difficult.
"OK, I''ll see it tonight." Gu said, "you often take care of me. As soon as I enter the newspaper office, you take me and teach me, just like my master."
The colleague held her hand gratefully.
Gu Qian agreed in the hospital, but when she got out of the hospital, she thought she needed to go into the night and sneak into the house of the murder. She couldn''t help feeling scared.
Although she is cowardly, she will never go back on what she promised.
This matter needs to be handled as soon as possible. Once the patrol room checks the scene twice, it will be too late.
Gu decided to go tonight.
She came out of the hospital and went to the newspaper office for two hours before she got off work normally.
After work, her watchers changed shifts.
The night shift is two different people. They change occasionally. They are not very dedicated. Sometimes they nap against the wall and don''t take her seriously at all.
At nine o''clock in the evening, Gu Qian watched the man doze off, closed his eyes, sneaked out of the window, stuck to the root of the wall and walked to the back door of the alley.
She left quietly, but she didn''t expect someone to follow her.
Bai Xian can''t sleep today.
Recently, he felt more and more unbearable. As long as he couldn''t see Gu, he felt suffering and couldn''t bear it for a minute.
There were other people at the front door. He couldn''t get past it. He was afraid that he couldn''t explain clearly, so he wandered around at the back door.
He couldn''t see anything, but knowing that she was in the house not far away, he would be a little reassured.
However, to his shock, Gu came out of the back door, sneaking.
He could recognize her even in the dark.
Did she come out on purpose tonight, or did she come out every night, like him?
He soon got rid of the idea.
What do you mean like him?
Bai Xian felt that putting her in the same position was a blasphemy against her.
She is beautiful, quiet and learned. Even Bai Xian, the writer with a car, thinks he doesn''t deserve her, let alone his muddy legs? He bowed his head, shrunk himself into the most humble shadow, and silently followed Gu Chen.
