Ch67 - Surprise

Ilya was indeed right. After the fall of the crown prince, the second prince became more powerful and led troops to attack the federation.

Cecil’s spies also found other information, saying that the second prince was accompanied by a man in red. The man had sickly white skin and always had a weird smile.

Cecil knew that it was Red Shadow, who took the remaining pirates to join the Second Prince and provided countless intelligence to the foreign enemy.

With the support of that intelligence, the prince became very powerful and did not lose at all in several battles with the Federation.

Almost half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the war with the Zerg has been going on for almost half a year.

During this period, Cecil rarely returned to the capital and took Zhou Mian and Xiao Le to live in the main battleship. Zhou Mian’s belly was getting bigger day by day, and it was becoming more and more inconvenient for him to move around. As time went by, Zhou Mian couldn’t bear it no matter how good his health was. He couldn’t sleep at night and had to wake up with cramps when he fell asleep. He felt sleepy and lethargic during the day. As for eating, he always vomited at first and then lost his appetite.

All in all, it was very tiring.

The doctor said with relief that this was because the baby was too healthy and energetic.

‘Squeak’

Zhou Mian had a big ball bulging in front of his belly. At this moment, he was supporting his waist with one hand and pushing the mobile shelf towards the main battleship’s laboratory with the other hand.

The shelves are full of herbs.

In the past six months, not only did their family live in the main battleship, but Cecil also had a small plant factory set up in the main battleship, allowing Zhou Mian and researchers to continue the research on Hong Luoluo.

Nowadays, during the war, many soldiers were infected with insect poison. Hong Luoluo came in great use at this moment, and Zhou Mian became a “miracle doctor”.

“Hey…! Admiral Zhou. I’m coming.”

A soldier passing by saw Zhou Mian pushing a cart. He was startled and quickly stepped forward to take over.

“Thank you.” Zhou Mian put one hand behind his back and smiled.

The soldier was stunned, quickly tilted his head, and pushed the cart into the laboratory with a silly smile.

Admiral Cecil is so lucky that Admiral Zhou is so powerful… and has no arrogance at all…

“Admiral Zhou!”

Zhou Mian was following the soldier when he saw Mingyan running over with high heels on her head.

“What’s the matter…?” Zhou Mian nodded and asked, “Are there any more wounded?”

“Yes! I came here just to remind Admiral Zhou that the wounded transported from Y9 are on the eighth battleship at the moment. Please I ask General Zhou to send a doctor to treat and detoxify! The most important thing is that the General must not go there in person.”

“I understand, I will send someone there. I have personally taught the doctors in the research laboratory, and they know how to use Hong Luoluo.” Zhou Mian smiled and said: “I won’t go there personally.”

Not to mention that no one was willing to let him do it personally, and he didn’t dare to go himself.

Soldiers who came down from the battlefield were usually severely injured. Zhou Mian was about to give birth now, so it was really not suitable to see blood. Not to mention whether it would be bad for the baby, Zhou Mian’s stomach couldn’t bear it and he would choke at the smell of blood.

“Okay! Thank you, Admiral Zhou. Admiral Zhou must remember, never… never go in person!”

“Of course.” Zhou Mian said with a smile, “I’m afraid that everyone will be killed before we leave this main battleship. Got it.”

Each of these people was more nervous than himself.

“Hmph! It’s not because Admiral Zhou doesn’t cherish himself.” Mingyan pursed her lips and said, “Look at how big his belly is, and he’s still running around in the laboratory. If Admiral Cecil finds out, he will definitely scold.”

Zhou Mian just laughed.

He had to be busy, and Cecil knew it, so although he felt distressed, he couldn’t stop it.

The matter of Hong Luoluo is no child’s play. He is the only one who knows how to use it to detoxify. He must teach it and ensure that the pharmaceutical process is correct.

“Sigh… when will this battle be over…”

Zhou Mian said with a smile: “Glacier and the Federation were fighting for six years before.”

Mingyan responded: “Ah…! But Insect Star is fighting us. It’s been more than twenty years! Ever since the death of the previous queen, the peace contract has expired, and we have been at war with the insect star.”

“Yes…” Zhou Mian shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Then I’m leaving. Admiral, please remember not to visit the injured.”

“Okay, okay.” Zhou Mian smiled and waved to Mingyan.

Zhou Mian glanced at the laboratory and then at the sky.

It was already night.

Zhou Mian felt that he was really tired, so he decided to go back to his room to sleep first.

He didn’t care much about his body before, but since having the baby, Zhou Mian has been very good, has a regular schedule, and is very good to himself.

This is his responsibility to the baby.

Zhou Mian passed by a corridor on the way back to his room.

The corridor is lined with transparent high-voltage glass, and you can see the starry sky and night outside.

Zhou Mian was stunned and stopped by the window.

Outside the window was the boundless starry sky. They were near the federal capital and could see the bridges outside the capital.

The bridge connecting the glacier and the Federation is too huge, and it is also equipped with countless bright lights, so it can still be seen from here.

Zhou Mian suddenly felt a little emotional.

The Federation and Glacier were originally not connected. There was a high-pressure space filled with flames between them. Normal people could not pass through it due to the high temperature and air pressure. Therefore, there had been no communication between Glacier and the Federation.

Until Cecil spent countless years building the bridge.

Zhou Mian dragged his chin and leaned against the window to look at the shining bridge passage.

“Admiral!”

Zhou Mian was stunned and turned around to see Kevin standing aside and waving to him.

“Admiral Zhou!”

Seeing Kevin walking towards him, Zhou Mian said with a smile, “You’re not here to tell me again not to go to the Eighth Battleship, are you?”

“No, no!” Kevin’s face turned red and he said with excitement. : “Admiral Zhou! Go and have a look on the deck!”

“Ah…?” Zhou Mian asked suspiciously, “Is it the deck of the main battleship?”

“Yeah!”

“Why?”

“You’ll know when you go there.”

Zhou Mian raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course, Kevin would not harm him, but he was so mysterious. What on earth was going on?

Zhou Mian asked tentatively: “What happened…?”

“Ouch! Wouldn’t you know if you go?”

“I won’t go if you don’t tell me.”

“Ouch! Admiral Cecil is still waiting up there. He’s here!” Kevin didn’t dare to pull Zhou Mian, so he had to ask softly: “Why don’t you just go and take a look?”

Zhou Mian paused, shook his head, and said, “It’s true… then I’ll go take a look.”

“Okay…!” Kevin gasped and happily accompanied Zhou Mian into the elevator.

“We’re here!”

The elevator dinged and opened.

“What on earth is…” Zhou Mian was stunned.

After arriving on the deck, the first thing Zhou Mian saw was… flowers.

Lots of lavender.

The deck is covered with lavender, and there is a flower bed that was transplanted at some time. It also has purple flowers that flutter in the wind.

Cecil, dressed in a white military uniform, stood among the flowers, holding up roses and smiling at him.

“You…”

Zhou Mian was stunned.

This…

Cecil smiled and said warmly: “Mianmian, come here.”

Normally, Cecil would either wear an oppressive black military uniform or a white gold-plated uniform that was deliberately shocking, but today was different.

Although Cecil is wearing white today, perhaps because of his demeanor perhaps because of the scene, or because of the design of his clothes, he looks much gentler. The purple lines are the same color as the flowers on the side.

Behind Cecil, there was a night sky as thick as ink, dotted with stars.

Zhou Mian’s eyes couldn’t help but be attracted to Cecil, and he walked towards him blankly.

When Zhou Mian stood in front of Cecil, he saw Cecil kneeling on one knee.

Zhou Mian was stunned.

“What…are you doing…”

“A-Mian.” Cecil held the flowers in one hand and handed a small brocade box to Zhou Mian in the other.

“Will you marry me?”

Inside the red box, there was a silver-blue ring lying in velvet.

The color of the ring is the same as Zhou Mian’s hair color. There is no fancy design. It is just an ordinary ring, but it is exquisite.

“I…”

Zhou Mian was completely stunned. He didn’t expect Cecil to come.

Cecil smiled and said: “The contract marriage was too hasty before. Everything was just a process. I…have not formally proposed to you, nor have I held a formal wedding with you.” Zhou Mian bit his lower lip.

“These… I want to return them to you in the same way.” Cecil asked seriously, word by word: “A-mian… so are you willing to marry me? Are you willing to become a legally married person and a partner with me?”

Zhou Mian chuckled.

Cecil also smiled and said: “I will always protect you and love you, always, always, until the end of my life. I am missing something in your past, but I will not be absent from your future for a moment.” Zhou Mian’s cheeks were bright red, even his earlobes turned red.

Zhou Mian smiled and stretched out his hand towards Cecil.

Cecil gently put a ring on Zhou Mian’s ring finger.

“This way…you are mine.”

Then, Zhou Mian half-knelt down after taking the flowers.

“A-mian…!” Cecil’s hair stood on end, and then he supported Zhou Mian and shouted, “What are you doing!”

“I want to…” Zhou Mian glanced at the other ring in the box.

Cecil was stunned.

Zhou Mian took the ring, held Cecil’s hand, and said, “I will always protect you and love you… until the end of my life.”

Zhou Mian also put a ring on Cecil’s ring finger.

The pair of rings shined in the night light as if they were telling a promise.

‘Bang. Boom’

Zhou Mian was stunned and turned around to see that the night sky was filled with colorful fireworks.

Flowers bloomed one after another in the silent night sky. Zhou Mian raised his head and stared blankly at those dazzling sparks, while Cecil was looking at the color in Zhou Mian’s pupils.

“So beautiful…”

Zhou Mian said, “Did… Did you do it?”

Cecil smiled but said nothing.

Cosmic fireworks. Cecil gave Zhou Mian an interstellar firework.

That night, everyone on the battleship witnessed the fireworks.

The protagonists, Zhou Mian and Cecil are on the deck, kissing among the flowers.

Crying. Squealing. Throwing up
