At night, Su Mo appeared slightly tipsy, carrying a hint of drunkenness as he walked out of the Federation Building and headed towards the Shadow.
The gentle breeze swept by.
Su Mo’s thoughts beca clearer, feeling very comfortable. Just a while ago, he shared a few drinks with Alles, chatting and discussing so matters about the direction of the future.
Overall, they held great expectations for the future.
They believed that one day the war would end, and then they could live a peaceful and beautiful life.
...
Soon after, Su Mo arrived at the port and walked towards the place where the Shadow was docked.
As he approached, Su Mo saw a graceful figure standing at the entrance. Upon closer inspection, he saw Qian Chengxue dressed in a snow-white lace dress, wearing blue gemstone earrings, her silver hair cascading like a galaxy over her shoulders, clear eyes flowing with a warm smile, seemingly waiting for soone’s return.
Su Mo was montarily stunned, then hurriedly approached and said to Qian Chengxue.
"Why are you here? Isn’t the company very busy?"
"No matter how busy, it’s not more important than you. It’s rare for you to co back once."
Qian Chengxue’s lips moved slightly, speaking softly.
"You don’t have to stand here."
After hearing this, Su Mo felt warm in his heart.
"It’s okay, and isn’t today your birthday?"
Qian Chengxue smiled gently and said to Su Mo.
When Su Mo heard this, he suddenly realized that today was his birthday, and thus, it must also be Qian Chengxue’s birthday.
"I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy I forgot that today should also be your birthday."
"It’s okay, I prepared sothing special for you...."
Qian Chengxue said, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Su Mo felt an electric shock, his breath becoming a bit rapid, and he hesitantly said.
"Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Mine isn’t ready yet...."
"It’s okay, co with ."
Qian Chengxue then took Su Mo’s hand and walked into the ship.
Su Mo’s blood was boiling, feeling a bit dry-mouthed, inexplicably nervous and excited.
Soon Qian Chengxue led Su Mo back to the room.
"Um..."
Su Mo still wanted to say sothing to Qian Chengxue.
Qian Chengxue then took Su Mo to a chair and said to him.
"Sit down first."
"Okay."
Su Mo sat down instinctively.
Qian Chengxue went towards the bathroom, and Su Mo watched her go, thinking she was going to shower, feeling inexplicably excited and uneasy.
Then he saw Qian Chengxue bringing a basin of hot water.
She brought it to Su Mo, squatted down, and helped him take off his shoes and socks.
Su Mo was slightly stunned, hurriedly stopping her.
"Let do it myself."
"No need, I’ll do it. There’s not much I can do for you, so I’ll soak your feet. A man works hard outside, and when he returns, he should relax. I know you’ve been fighting outside."
Qian Chengxue placed Su Mo’s feet in hot water, gently washing and massaging them.
Hearing this, Su Mo was deeply touched and said, "Xue’er...."
"Mm."
Qian Chengxue replied softly.
Su Mo reached out and gently touched Qian Chengxue’s cheek.
Both of them enjoyed the brief warmth greatly.
At this mont, a clear prompt sounded, and without surprise, there should be a new ssage.
Su Mo was also stunned, wondering who would send him a ssage so late.
Qian Chengxue was quite surprised as well, and teasingly asked Su Mo, "Who’s sending you a ssage this late? Lin Zinuo or Lan Xi?"
"Cough cough, not at all."
Hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Su Mo suddenly beca nervous, thinking it couldn’t be such a coincidence.
Seeing Su Mo so nervous, Qian Chengxue found it even more amusing, and laughed lightly, "Could it be another girl?"
"Impossible."
Su Mo waved his hand and said hurriedly.
Hehe!
Qian Chengxue chuckled, saying to Su Mo, "Alright, no more teasing, quickly check the ssage."
Su Mo quickly checked the electronic bracelet ssage, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, it wasn’t such a coincidence; he then opened the ssage to take a look.
"Esteed Colonel Su Mo, the Bakewell Special Secret Base located in Scorpion Star Sea is under attack by unknown monsters, the situation is dire. You are hereby mandatorily summoned to proceed to the target area and rescue the base. Please proceed imdiately to Port 19....."
Su Mo was stunned upon seeing this ssage, it was an ergency mandatory mission.
"What happened, what’s going on?"
Qian Chengxue imdiately leaned over to have a look.
Upon seeing the content of the ssage, Qian Chengxue’s heart tightened as well, suppressing her reluctance and asking Su Mo.
"So soon there’s a mission?"
"Yes."
Su Mo nodded slightly, looking at the ssage with furrowed brows, his expression constantly changing.
"What’s wrong? Is this mission very dangerous?"
Qian Chengxue asked, seeing Su Mo’s expression seed off.
"Not really, just a bit strange."
Su Mo shook his head in reply, as he operated the bracelet to call up the Star Map to find the location of Scorpion Star Sea.
"Strange in what way?"
Qian Chengxue asked, puzzled.
"I’m about to participate in the Royal Order of Twelve Knights selection, but I haven’t received any notification. But now I’m suddenly assigned this task. Normally, I shouldn’t be given tasks at this ti. Plus, I just checked, this Scorpion Star is located in a star sea between Radiant City and Ceres, it’s not just far away."
