Arthur also thanked him for choosing him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps Arthur had been waiting for him to ask.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a misunderstanding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s almost time to get married now.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur&#8217;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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting with their work, they were in tune with each other.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even that most troublesome problem &#8211; Arthur&#8217;s exuberant x-lust &#8211; he could now solve it with ease and comfort, and no longer felt headache.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it seems that you first have to get a token of proposal before marriage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tradition of human beings was still to give and exchange wedding rings and make a marriage contract.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, he will buy one another day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking of this, Yan Xueshan glanced at Arthur beside him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur was frozen till now and\u00a0 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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was also his first time in his life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur&#8217;s heart skipped a beat, thinking, maybe Yan Xueshan didn&#8217;t want to marry him because of that?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If he knew earlier, he wouldn\u2019t care if it was romantic or not, and whether Yan Xueshan loved him or not, he would just snap him up first!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a live broadcast for the whole galaxy to see.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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, &#8220;I have prepared it a long time ago. I mean, the rings, I bought them a long time ago.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMaster.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he went to Vega to find Yan Xueshan, he was already ready to propose with a ring. He didn\u2019t know what he thought at that time, but after he bought a ring he rushed straight to Vega.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan heard Arthur call out to him, and turned to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then he saw Arthur holding the ring box.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur changed his tone as he spoke. &#8220;Yan Xueshan.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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, \u201cMarry me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan sat fully facing him, straightened up and said, \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surprisingly, it was Klitsch who came back to his senses first and led the applause. &#8220;Congratulations.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One after another, the applause rang out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Host Lin Qi smiled and said, &#8220;Audience, join us in wishing them well.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur took the ring out of the ring box, and he explained himself. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, I originally wanted to propose to you after winning the championship, I thought that would be the best occasion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before he could finish speaking a lot of scolding could be heard from the venue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Such a big tone, you think you can become the champion?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a good thing you didn&#8217;t do that, otherwise you probably wouldn&#8217;t be able to propose again.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;You are the number one melee fighter in terms of statistics, and maybe that\u2019s all because of your high coherence rate? You might not necessarily be number one when it comes to combat power alone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;So now that you&#8217;ve already proposed successfully, do you want to admit defeat in advance? That\u2019s so funny.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur stubbornly said, \u201cI must be the best. The strongest melee fighter.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur: &#8220;Hold out your hand and I&#8217;ll give you a ring.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan didn&#8217;t reach out, and just said flatly, \u201cAre you stupid? This is a holographic projection.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he stretched out his hand, he only touched the holo-projection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan said, \u2018Also even though I agreed to your marriage proposal, if we become rivals in the competition, I will not show mercy to you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur finally came back to his senses, calmed down and smiled brightly. &#8220;Okay. I won&#8217;t give in to you either.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Wait for me, I&#8217;ll propose to you in person now.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Qi: &#8220;Hey! Arthur!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before he could stop Arthur, he went offline in a second making the holographic projection turn off instantly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone else looked at Yan Xueshan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan nodded politely. &#8220;Sorry, it looks like I have to leave early too. Sorry.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Qi: \u201cWhy are you leaving too?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, before he could finish speaking, Yan Xueshan disappeared as well.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He thought it would be a long wait.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It took four hours to come here by airship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today was a good day. The sky was full of stars.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His speed was so fast that he left a red afterimage, like a mythical dragon.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cockpit opened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur, wearing a black and red mecha suit, jumped down and climbed up to the terrace. &#8220;I came.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan said uncomprehendingly, &#8220;Why did you come here with the mecha? Is this compliant?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Already expecting that he would be asked this question, he said, &#8220;It&#8217;s compliant. I temporarily applied for a flight speed test.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan extended his hand and asked without any shyness, &#8220;So, where is the proposal ring?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur took out the ring and put it on him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had already determined the size of Yan Xueshan&#8217;s ring finger several times, but at this moment, he was still a little scared that it might not fit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fearfully, he watched as the ring slid right on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It felt like a dream.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur blurted out happily, &#8220;Just right.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan: &#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur: &#8220;You promised to marry me.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan: &#8220;Yes.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an unexpected joy that he didn&#8217;t know how to vent, Arthur asked him with burning eyes, &#8220;So can I kiss you now?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He slightly tilted up his face and closed his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling Arthur approaching, the hot breath brushed against his face as his lips already touched him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So soft, and so gentle, treating him like the most precious treasure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as he was about to kiss more deeply, Yan Xueshan heard a thud as a short gust of wind swept past him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Arthur seemed to have disappeared.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan opened his eyes. There was no one in front of him, and he lowered his head.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthur had fallen onto the grass below. Smiling at him in embarrassment, he said, \u201cI was trying to find a better angle but ended up slipping and failing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was reflected in Arthur\u2019s smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Xueshan leaned against the railing and felt the corner of his mouth involuntarily curve into a smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was like a smile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Antiope1<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yan Xueshan thought about it and realized he had walked into a misunderstanding.
