The night of the magnificent barrier is beautiful, because it is high, so through those withered branches and sparse needles, you can see the stars in the sky, bright and bright, tugging at the heartstrings.

It's very close.

It feels like it's within reach.

So Irelia felt that it was really within reach, and she stretched out her hand, as if she saw a longing figure in the stars.

The sparse snowflakes that were still fluttering fell on her shoulders, on her long dark blue hair, and on her thin shoulders and the thin layer of her shirt soon covered with a layer of snow.

Zhang Chao suddenly felt a little distressed, all these years, it was such a girl who seemed to be weak and couldn't help but bear the pressure of the entire Ionia, and led the weak Ionian rebels to resist the Noxians.

You must know that the Noxians they dealt with at the beginning were basically Noxians' third-rate army, except for the Iron Float, and after that, the pressure on Irelia was definitely not small, whether it was Tyrone, Caterina or a victorious general like Darius, it was not easy to deal with.

On the other hand, what can the Council of Elders in Ionia do to help her?

Except for dragging its feet, it's basically useless.

The sound of the battle in the ears is still endless, and the Void cultists who are committed to turning the world into a void have the fanaticism and fierceness of death shared by any believer, even if the Ionian ninjas who are good at assassination have the upper hand, but they are not as good as the ninjas of the Shadow Stream Sect, and the battle has reached a stalemate.

At this moment, the warm hand grabbed her shoulder, and the burning breath burned the girl's ear, and whispered to her......

"I'm here to marry you. ”

"Irelia...... I've come to keep my promise and come to marry you. ”

Irelia froze, the voice a little unfamiliar, but more familiar.

Is that you?

Is that you?

She wanted to turn around, but her body trembled.

She had dreamed like this countless times, and fell into fantasies countless times, she was very afraid, she was afraid that this time it was still her own unwarranted fantasy, and that warm hand was not Zhang Chao at all.

Eventually, she turned around.

Looking at the man who was shining with stars in the darkness and smiling brightly, a trace of trance flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to that day.

In Presidium, life and death depend on each other.

He saved her, and she saved the whole city.

It's him......

Is it really him...... I read that right.

That's nice.

There was no word for a long time.

The two stared at each other, looking at every subtle trace on each other's faces, as if they wanted to engrave each other's faces deeply in their hearts, very quiet, and the noise and shouts of killing seemed to be cut off from them.

"You've gotten taller...... The voice has also become thicker. Finally, Irelia reached out and pinched Zhang Chao's face, muttering as if she was about to wake up from a dream.

Zhang Chao smiled bitterly, but after all, he couldn't bear to refuse any request from the girl in front of him who had been waiting for him for more than 20 years.

Even if it is a legendary female swordmaster with an ageless appearance, how many more than 20 years can there be?

At the age of a woman like a flower, he agreed to marry her, and she really waited for more than twenty years, and engraved in his heart the promise he casually made when he thought everything was fiction, until now.

But I heard Irelia sigh: "Yes, such a long time has passed, even if you don't grow old and don't die, there will be some changes after all." ”

Her voice was a little tired, but also a little relieved, she had been on the verge of death several times after years of fighting, and the huge pressure pressed on her thin shoulders, almost overwhelming her.

She became a murderous demon in the eyes of the Noxians, and a hero in the hearts of the Ionians to save the world.

In fact.

If there is an if.

I just want to be your woman...... Stand behind you.

This was her heart, but she didn't say it, just said, "I look at the sky every night, and look at the stars, because you rule the stars......"

She stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed to the bright stars: "That one is Pan Sen, that one is Leon, and that one is Qing Xuan......"

She knew all the constellations, just because they were his territory.

On her fingertips, there were a few scars, Zhang Chao couldn't help but hold her hand and hugged her into his arms, it was cool, the weather was very cold, the hard armor was very awkward, he took her cold hand into his arms, closed his eyes, and listened to her quietly.

And she said in such a calm tone, as if she was stating something that had nothing to do with herself: "So I want to ask when you will marry me, obviously we agreed at the beginning, have you forgotten me?"

"I know, you have a little fox and she can turn into a human, I don't mind that, but why don't you tell me and don't come to me?"

"Obviously, you have appeared in Ionia again, I have also met your teacher Yasuo, and I have also met your junior brother, the master of the Shadow Stream Sect. ”

"You have had many positions, before the Battle of Presidium, you and your brother and you clearly thwarted a Noxian attack, and by then your strength was extraordinary. So...... Are you playing a show? ”

As she said this, Irelia's shoulders suddenly trembled, followed by a low sob.

I heard her choke up and said aggrievedly, "I don't even know who you are...... I thought you had concerns, but it became clear that you had become the main god of the star god system high above. ”

"But you still haven't come to me. ”

She was angry, bit Zhang Chao's shoulder, and whimpered: "I'll tell you, in fact, there are many people chasing me, if you continue like this, I will really forget you!"

"You're going to throw me away, and you'll never get it back. ”

She said firmly, but Zhang Chao didn't believe it at all, he just patted the girl's back gently, like coaxing a child, spoiling him very much, he had been negligent in one point, that is, he had done a lot of things in Ionia, and he could find a lot of things if he really checked it, especially for Irelia, the leader of the entire Ionian rebel forces.

It is conceivable how much damage he has caused to her by not telling her everything.

Men and women in love are cranky, and the years of not seeing each other are enough to wipe out the deep feelings, but Irelia still loves him deeply, and he is grateful, even a little afraid.

But he will not hold back half a step, this love he deserves, but it must be suffered.

"It's okay, I'm here. ”

"It's late, but fortunately, you haven't had time to run away with someone else, so ...... Marry me, and this time, you won't run away like you used to. ”

Irelia finally burst into tears.

"Bastard, how can you do this. ”

"Why has it been so long?"

"You know what? I've been waiting for you for twenty-one years and seven months!"

She bit Zhang Chao's shoulder, like a fierce little beast, uneasily biting the people closest to her, testing the bottom line and tolerance she could obtain, so Zhang Chao gave her all tolerance.

She finally quieted down, grabbed Zhang Chao's head, and kissed him.

This kiss was twenty-one years and seven months apart.
