Yan Xueshan thought about it and realized he had walked into a misunderstanding.

Wait, why was he waiting for Arthur to propose?

Suddenly, he figured it out.

If he disliked Arthur’s slow movement, he could have been the one to propose.

Right.

Before the blind date, Arthur was the passive party, waiting to be selected by him. Arthur also thanked him for choosing him.

Perhaps Arthur had been waiting for him to ask.

What a misunderstanding.

It’s almost time to get married now.

Arthur’s status with him has gradually reversed from ordinary comrades to lovers. At least in form, he has achieved it. The two of them have similar views and interests, and could do housework together and accompany each other on the battlefield.

Starting with their work, they were in tune with each other.

Even that most troublesome problem – Arthur’s exuberant x-lust – he could now solve it with ease and comfort, and no longer felt headache.

However, it seems that you first have to get a token of proposal before marriage.

The tradition of human beings was still to give and exchange wedding rings and make a marriage contract.

Well, he will buy one another day.

Thinking of this, Yan Xueshan glanced at Arthur beside him.

Arthur was frozen till now and  seemed to be activated by his gaze and came back to life. Since they were in public, Arthur seemed to forget everything else because you could still see the slightest overwhelmed expression on his face. He pretended to be as serious as possible.

This was also his first time in his life.

Arthur’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, maybe Yan Xueshan didn’t want to marry him because of that?

 If he knew earlier, he wouldn’t care if it was romantic or not, and whether Yan Xueshan loved him or not, he would just snap him up first!

He knew it was impossible, but he was still afraid that there would be even a ten-millionth chance that his beloved would give up on the idea of marrying him.

It seems like a long time has passed, but in fact, from the time Yan Xueshan said this sentence, only a minute or so has passed.

On a live broadcast for the whole galaxy to see.

The Master Sergeant who claimed to have a 100% correct operation rate and never shaky hands, Admiral Arthur tremblingly took out a ring box from his pocket, and said, “I have prepared it a long time ago. I mean, the rings, I bought them a long time ago.”

“Master.”

When he went to Vega to find Yan Xueshan, he was already ready to propose with a ring. He didn’t know what he thought at that time, but after he bought a ring he rushed straight to Vega.

Yan Xueshan heard Arthur call out to him, and turned to him.

Then he saw Arthur holding the ring box.

Arthur changed his tone as he spoke. “Yan Xueshan.”

Just as a few months ago, he had run a million light-years from the capital to find Yan Xueshan. The same impulse made him act again, like a fool he lost all pretense as he said, “Marry me.”

Yan Xueshan sat fully facing him, straightened up and said, “Okay.”

Surprisingly, it was Klitsch who came back to his senses first and led the applause. “Congratulations.”

One after another, the applause rang out.

Host Lin Qi smiled and said, “Audience, join us in wishing them well.”

Arthur took the ring out of the ring box, and he explained himself. “I’m sorry, I originally wanted to propose to you after winning the championship, I thought that would be the best occasion.”

Before he could finish speaking a lot of scolding could be heard from the venue.

“Such a big tone, you think you can become the champion?”

“It’s a good thing you didn’t do that, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be able to propose again.”

“You are the number one melee fighter in terms of statistics, and maybe that’s all because of your high coherence rate? You might not necessarily be number one when it comes to combat power alone.”

“So now that you’ve already proposed successfully, do you want to admit defeat in advance? That’s so funny.”

Arthur stubbornly said, “I must be the best. The strongest melee fighter.”

The audience may not understand this remark very well and only think he was arrogant, but those present could understand the deeper meaning of it. Arthur believed that he had to be the strongest to be worthy of Yan Xueshan.

Arthur: “Hold out your hand and I’ll give you a ring.”

Yan Xueshan didn’t reach out, and just said flatly, “Are you stupid? This is a holographic projection.”

Arthur: “…”

When he stretched out his hand, he only touched the holo-projection.

Yan Xueshan said, ‘Also even though I agreed to your marriage proposal, if we become rivals in the competition, I will not show mercy to you.”

Arthur finally came back to his senses, calmed down and smiled brightly. “Okay. I won’t give in to you either.

“Wait for me, I’ll propose to you in person now.”

Lin Qi: “Hey! Arthur!”

Before he could stop Arthur, he went offline in a second making the holographic projection turn off instantly.

Everyone else looked at Yan Xueshan.

Yan Xueshan nodded politely. “Sorry, it looks like I have to leave early too. Sorry.”

Lin Qi: “Why are you leaving too?”

However, before he could finish speaking, Yan Xueshan disappeared as well.

Because Yan Xueshan felt that a marriage proposal should be more dignified, he went to clean himself up, put on his most formal and expensive clothes and then checked himself in detail after dressing up. Then he moved to sit in a chair to wait on the terrace for Arthur to come.

He thought it would be a long wait.

It took four hours to come here by airship.

Today was a good day. The sky was full of stars.

Yan Xueshan faintly heard the familiar sound of a mecha engine. He looked up in surprise, and saw a red mecha wrapped in a bright red energy shield, rushing toward him like a shooting star.

His speed was so fast that he left a red afterimage, like a mythical dragon.

The cockpit opened.

Arthur, wearing a black and red mecha suit, jumped down and climbed up to the terrace. “I came.”

Yan Xueshan said uncomprehendingly, “Why did you come here with the mecha? Is this compliant?”

Already expecting that he would be asked this question, he said, “It’s compliant. I temporarily applied for a flight speed test.”

Yan Xueshan extended his hand and asked without any shyness, “So, where is the proposal ring?”

Arthur took out the ring and put it on him.

He had already determined the size of Yan Xueshan’s ring finger several times, but at this moment, he was still a little scared that it might not fit.

Fearfully, he watched as the ring slid right on.

It felt like a dream.

Arthur blurted out happily, “Just right.”

Yan Xueshan: “Yes.”

Arthur: “You promised to marry me.”

Yan Xueshan: “Yes.”

With an unexpected joy that he didn’t know how to vent, Arthur asked him with burning eyes, “So can I kiss you now?”

Obviously it was a cold night, but Yan Xueshan had the sensation of being illuminated by the summer sun, his body so warm that he was even a bit hot. “Yes.”

He slightly tilted up his face and closed his eyes.

Feeling Arthur approaching, the hot breath brushed against his face as his lips already touched him.

So soft, and so gentle, treating him like the most precious treasure.

Just as he was about to kiss more deeply, Yan Xueshan heard a thud as a short gust of wind swept past him.

Meanwhile, Arthur seemed to have disappeared.

Yan Xueshan opened his eyes. There was no one in front of him, and he lowered his head.

Arthur had fallen onto the grass below. Smiling at him in embarrassment, he said, “I was trying to find a better angle but ended up slipping and failing.”

He was reflected in Arthur’s smile.

Yan Xueshan leaned against the railing and felt the corner of his mouth involuntarily curve into a smile.

It was like a smile.
