Wei Shi’s gaze suddenly lit up.
The cold light of his gaze turned into a sharp, bright light. The man covered Wu Jin completely in his shadow, blotting out the sky and earth and surrounding him with a burning, powerful, and aggressive aura.
Wu Jin’s throat moved slightly. For a moment, he thought that the big boss was going to kiss him––
Wei Shi extracted two well-hidden silver-blue masks from a metal warhead beside them.
Wu Jin was dazed.
The metal outline of the cold mask touched Wu Jin’s cheek. When Wei Shi helped him put it on, Wu Jin could even feel that his big boss’s steady hands were a little damp with sweat, and there was a very slight tremble.
It was like he was solemnly giving him the rest of his life.
Wu Jin raised his head, and the scattered starlight penetrated through a gap in the heavy mask.
Wei Shi stared at Wu Jin’s lips that were about to be covered by the mask and suddenly spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You can put it on later.”
Then, the man pressed Wu Jin up fiercely against the metal wall of the guided missile launcher, sealing his partner’s soft lips like a ferocious beast, plundering wantonly from his mouth one last time before putting on the mask.
Their breaths were entangled together heatedly.
Wu Jin put everything he had into his enthusiastic response.
Wei Shi’s left hand that was acting as a barrier between Wu Jin’s head and the wall inserted itself into the cheerful small curls, and his right hand traveled from the youth’s cheek to his neck, moving over the now-healed bite mark, the thin shoulders, the muscled slender arm, all the way to Wu Jin’s left hand.
Ten fingers clasped together tightly.
The starlight seemed gathered into the palm of their hands. The metal walls of the missile launching channel was filled with an intense l.u.s.ter, the shock absorbing platform swaying constantly. There seemed to be stars in the double-row exhausts, and light flowed around them like comets.
Then, countless streams of fire rose up!
The almost vicious kiss ended. Wu Jin gasped for breath while the big boss kept him pressed up against the wall. He could hear the other party’s strong heartbeat in his ears.
Wu Jin looked up.
His cheek muscles moved. The corner of Wu Jin’s lips raised slightly, and then he couldn’t help but start giggling foolishly.
Wei Shi: “… What are you laughing at.”
Wu Jin was silly from happiness, “Wei Shi! Big boss! Wei Shi!”
Wei Shi: “Mm.”
Wu Jin was happy from the tip of his small curls all the way down to his fingers, and couldn’t wait to announce this news to the whole world, “You proposed!”
Wei Shi nodded simply.
Wu Jin looked at the big boss who had just stepped over the threshold, and his entire person was dizzy with incredible happiness.
Then, he leaned up to the big boss and smacked a kiss onto his cheek, saying solemnly, “I will treat you well––”
The corners of Wei Shi’s lips curved up.
I’ll treat you even better.
Using my life and glory as an oath.
At this time, the entire launching channel shook violently, as though it was constantly prompting and urging.
Red and blue fireworks alternated as they flowed through the missile exhaust channel, coating the starry sky with their glow. Wu Jin suddenly remembered the last ‘world’ gate in the Grand Arcana as well as the red and blue colored volcano just before the Jura.s.sic period.
Wei Shi helped Wu Jin put on his mask, then Wu Jin did the same for Floating City’s King.
The two of them took the elevator up to B109.
The man took down the military cloak that had been hanging in the training room and personally put it on Wu Jin. Then came the gloves and boots. The temperature difference between day and night was very large during Floating City’s autumn and winter seasons. It could drop to below 0 degrees at night. The military boots’ shoelaces were scattered across the ground; Wu Jin hadn’t even had time to bend over to do them up before Wei Shi dropped to one knee and skillfully laced them up.
At this time, Wu Jin’s entire body was covered in Floating City’s military uniform. Only the shoulder badge that symbolized his ident.i.ty was empty.
Wei Shi took out a gold medal.
Wu Jin suddenly remembered, Researcher Song had told him about during the day and expressed: This medal is extremely rare! Only one person obtained one in 20 years!
The man clipped it onto Wu Jin’s shoulder.
Wei Shi was satisfied, “Let’s go.”
Wu Jin was still immersed in a huge amount of joy, and his brain couldn’t quite keep up, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! Where…”
Wei Shi: “Getting the certificate.”
The elevator sent the two of them to B100.
Wu Jin suddenly discovered that he was standing in the middle of a launch shaft. Beneath his feet was a heated power propeller. It seemed that the thrusters had been temporarily modified, and it wasn’t pushing up a cruising missile. Instead, it was pushing––
Wei Shi wrapped a steady arm around the youth’s shoulders, “Hold on.”
Wu Jin: ? Where was the handle?! Other than the big boss, there was nothing but a few hundred square meters of empty s.p.a.ce!
The thrusters started up, and the platform they were standing on rose up abruptly!
Wu Jin hugged the big boss’s strong and tight waist. The platform quickly skipped to B80, B40, B2, ground floor––
Wei Shi held firmly to Wu Jin in the moment of weightlessness and deceleration. “Head up.”
Red and blue fireworks exploded at the same time! Two rows of brilliant, flaming paths penetrated into the dark sky under the strong impact. The mist that had covered Floating City for years was vaporized in an instant. The tangled paths of red and blue were like a pair of dragons, and the sky above the military armory was dyed with a dazzling burst of color.
The Autumn Festival fireworks that were spread out throughout the city lake were all without exception swept away by the pressure of the flames
The comets that filled the whole sky lit up the surface of the water and streaked by.
Outside the military armory, a certain wedding planning company owner received a signal and slapped his thigh, “Quickly!”
The platform rise rate and the fuel for the fireworks were released using the most precise calculations. Floating City’s thick mist, the heavy moisture content in the air at their current location and over the lake were all factored in. All the burning waste would rapidly decompose in the water within two hours, and the non-recyclable parts would be pulled out from the artificial atmosphere through Floating City’s inorganic matter degradation system.
The a.s.sistant beside him immediately pressed the launch b.u.t.ton.
52 small caliber cannons blasted out at the same time!
These propaganda bombs exploded in mid air, and countless champagne rose petals fluttered down. The fragrance of roses filled the entire launch platform!
Wu Ji’s breath caught.
Wu Jin bowed his head and made a promise in the youth’s ear. His low voice was firm and solemn.
Outside the missile silo.
Dozens of personal guards swarmed around, grabbing petals and stuffing them into each other’s collars.
The chief planner for the proposal ceremony watched anxiously for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t help but look for the one who looked the most respectable, Arjun. “My lord, we’ve released all the fireworks and roses. Why haven’t they proposed yet…”
Arjun looked at him the way one would look at an idiot, “The proposal is over!”
The chief planner: “??? Shouldn’t the proposal take place during the fireworks?”
Arjun was curious, “Shouldn’t the fireworks be set off at the very end?”
The guards nearby came over to join in the discussion, “They should definitely set them off after if it’s successful. Otherwise, isn’t it just a waste of fuel?!”
The chief planner: “Obviously, the fireworks should come first. it’s romantic and sets the scene before the proposal…”
The guards: “There are so many guns and bullets underground, isn’t that romantic enough?! It’s much more exciting than fireworks!”
The chief planner’s eyes seemed to darken.
What kind of cosmically straight men were these?!
However, at this moment, he looked over at the center of the launching shaft. The two people who walked out didn’t remain in this warm atmosphere for a long time, directly stepping over the rose petals spread out along the long carpet and entering the suspension car, flying straight towards Floating City’s Civil Affairs Bureau.
The chief planner could only vaguely make out the person who’d made the proposal between the light and shadows.
Silver… a silver blue mask.
The chief planner was so shocked his legs almost went soft. His expression was excited and dazed, “It’s the city-city-city-city King?!”
Arjun nodded and said emotionally, “Those two, really haven’t had it easy.”
The suspension car sped over Floating City.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was often full during the Autumn Festival. Wei Shi got out of the car and led Wu Jin with him to obtain a number for the queue. Due to the privileges of his station, they directly obtained the number ‘1’.
The couple with the number ‘58992’, who were closest to the entrance and still in line, were notified and quickly made way for Wu Jin and Wei Shi. One of the little sisters wasn’t annoyed at all and was actually very happy, “Those who can jump the queue are all military marriage registrations. How amazing! Four years ago, when I was still in high school, my big brother was selected to join the personal guard team…”
The little sister raised her eyes, and her gaze just happened to land on the golden metal on Wu Jin’s shoulder.
Her eyes opened wide, and she fell into a daze as she continued to look up.
“It’s the King––”
A shrill scream rang out. Wei Shi tilted his head. He was in a good mood and nodded lightly in her direction.
The door to the licensing room closed, blocking out the rest from her view.
The little sister had been caught off guard by this shocking incident and screamed with joy again. When she looked back again, her own male partner had already squeezed his way over to the entrance to try and see his idol, and he was still standing there with a flushed face and dizzy expression. His words practically vibrated with joy, “Our marriage certificate number will be just one number away from the King’s! Rounding up, you and the King’s partner will be sisters-in-law, and the King and I will be brothers-in-law…”
