December 25, 2022, Christmas Day.

The Coalition fought a frightening and confusing battle. The War Department and the Technical Department held several meetings one after another, and both sides showed the information they could get, and after investigation and comparison, they finally figured out the beginning and end of the raid on the End of the Road; When it was learned that the various forces of the official uniform had suffered serious losses in this battle, and only An Ling and Tang Ming were left to survive, the entire command team celebrated under the Christmas tree, cheering for the success of the Liaoyuan plan in the early and middle stages.

Humanity has never been so close to victory. The raid on the End was devastating, and the remnants of the artificial intelligence in the Overworld were wiped out by the Iron Horsemen; When Shadow was killed in Situ and the End Land returned to Tang Ming's hands, Tang Ming and An Ling gave up the Overworld to humans again.

Overnight, the king of mankind returned, re-ruled the fifteen maps of the official uniform, and divided the world with An Ling and Tang Ming.

At the same time, An Ling and Tang Ming offered to negotiate peace with mankind. In other words, the high-level will definitely disagree, but now it is Christmas, and for Westerners, Christmas belongs to the New Year, and it is a bit unreasonable to fight the New Year, and there is nothing to fight with An Ling, so they agreed on a date for peace talks, and the two sides officially ceasefired.

Peace came so fast, as fast as in a dream.

The eight major war zones take turns to have a holiday to celebrate Christmas. Christians in the Coalition Army were holding Bibles and singing hymns thanking God for the peace he had brought to God, while others were busy eating, drinking, chatting and frolicking, and discussing the day of their return home.

Cowering in a dark underground bunker all day long, bearing high-intensity work, it is inevitable that there will be psychological problems. Taking advantage of the truce during the holidays, getting out of the bunker, and venting the suppressed emotions in your heart is still good for your future life.

Our San Francisco theater of operations was scheduled to rest after the Chicago theater of operations. The War Department hosted a special banquet for me and Christian, and the banquet was divided into two groups of people to play their own games: the team members were giggling and eating, drinking and merrymaking, and the bishop and our two captains sat in a circle to exchange work matters.

Xiao Chen discussed with Christian and I about the research report on the last battle. According to the report, the End has the most direct threat, and the only most effective way to contain it is to ask Tang Ming to allow humans to enter the End Land during the peace talks, resurrect the ender dragon, and block the access to the Overworld; Secondly, in view of what happened in the four maps, the main goal should be on the Mingrui-level artificial intelligence, and the number of Mingrui intelligence, the degree of evolution, and the racial ability in the official uniform should be investigated as soon as possible.

“…… The Liaoyuan plan has now reached its final stage. The next step is to focus on high-level artificial intelligence, and with their capabilities, we may have to go into creative mode to kill them, so we have to rely on the technical department. Xiao Chen leaned back on the sofa and said to Christian and me.

"Are there any tasks during the peace talks? For example, going to the end and so on. Christian asked.

"You will not be allowed to go to the End. As long as there is no war, there will be no more tasks in the War Department, and the battlefield will be transferred to the side of the Technical Department. ”

"Are we going to stay here?" Christian seemed a little anxious. For some reason, when he heard the news of the truce, everyone was happy, but he was worried.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Of course not." When the fighting is over, we will be able to go home. Don't you want to go home? ”

"Think, it's just ......," Christian scratched his head irritably, "Forget it, no." ”

"Looks like you've developed feelings for this place. Actually, I'm quite reluctant to everyone, but I'm in a foreign land, and I can't let go of my family in my heart. Xiao Chen exclaimed, "I haven't eaten mutton steamed buns for a long time." ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten plum cabbage." I laughed.

People are strangers in a foreign land, and they miss their relatives every festival. Christmas is not a Chinese year, so it makes people want to go home for the orthodox New Year and taste the food of their hometown.

……

At the end of the feast, everyone went back to their bedrooms. I accompanied the team members back to their respective dormitories, then sent Xiao Chen and them back to the office, and finally went to the logistics department to visit Han Fuyu.

Han Fuyu's brain was hit hard, and the doctors in the logistics department were helpless and wanted to send her back to China for treatment, but fortunately, with my persistent advice, the doctors agreed to try to let her connect to the virtual machine to see if she could return to normal like Chen Xiaolin.

After Han Fuyu connected to the virtual machine, I also connected to her world and woke up Xiaoye in my mind. Xiao Ye didn't die, she just gave up her body in her official uniform and went into my brain to live, and usually she wouldn't react as long as she wasn't forcibly woken up.

Xiao Ye tried to infiltrate and checked her brain, but she didn't know what she did, and Han Fuyu got better as before. When she took off the virtual machine and saw me sitting next to her and asked me what had happened, the doctors present were dumbfounded.

They immediately picked up the virtual machine. This thing cures a disease that can only be cured by surgery by top brain specialists, and it is estimated that whoever has a brain problem will be able to insert it in the future.

After Han Fuyu woke up, he was left in the logistics department for a period of time to observe. I'm going to take advantage of Christmas tonight to bring some snacks to see her.

The infirmary was quiet, I found Han Fuyu's room, gently pushed the door open and walked in. The light was on in the room, and she slept on her side on the bed, her back to the door, the white quilt over her shoulders, only half of her head exposed, and her black hair spread on the pillow. Her breathing was even, and she could hear it well in the quiet atmosphere.

I tiptoed my snack bag to the bedside table. The table was littered with stuff, all kinds of food, cups, books, and her virtual machine, with a holographic sticker of Hypixel's Person of the Year "N-ind" on it.

After doing this, I carefully sat down on the stool next to the bed so as not to disturb her to sleep.

"Hey !!" Han Fuyu suddenly sat up from the bed, his hair scattered.

"I wipe !!" I was so frightened by her that I almost fell off the stool.

She laughed, combed her hair with her hands, and said, "I was really scared haha!" I knew it was you when I heard your footsteps! ”

"Do you want to scare me to death?" I asked, clutching my chest and holding my heart as it burst out.

"Yo yo yo, that's scared." She smiled and stretched out her hand to lean over, "Do you want to rub it, brother~"

She said this, but her hand reached out to the snack bag, grabbed it, and asked while untying the bag, "What delicious food did you bring?" “

"Chocolate."

"Huh? Isn't it Valentine's Day to give chocolates, today is Christmas? She asked, picking up a bar of chocolate.

"Don't talk about Christmas, this year, any holiday can be celebrated as Valentine's Day." I say.

"Well, that's right......" she tore open the package, snapped half of it, stuffed it in her mouth, and handed me the other half, saying, "Well, half for one person." “

"No, I'll give it all to you." I waved my hand.

"Take it, I can't eat too much, I will get fat if I eat too much." Han Fuyu's mouth was full, and she was stunned to stuff the remaining half into my hand, so I had to accompany her to eat chocolate. The room was filled with the smell of chocolate.

Han Fuyu asked me while eating: "Yi Ouyi, have you ever been given chocolates by other girls before?" “

"Yes, a lot." I replied as I ate.

"I can't see that your kid is a big love saint, and there are a lot?!"

"Alas, everyone in the class has a share in what someone else gave them on their birthdays."

"Poof......" Han Fuyu almost laughed, "It's true, the macho man is crying." “

"What about you? Have you ever been given by someone else? “

"Yes, aren't you?"

"I mean someone else."

"Well, I'll have to think about it. I was sent to my high school table and confessed; When I arrived at the university, Nangong received a lot of ......" Han Fuyu finished eating the chocolate, took out another one from the bag, pinched it in his hand and said, "I don't seem to have any." “

"No, you're not low-looking." I tilted my head to look at her.

"That's now, you haven't seen my old pictures." Han Fuyu put the chocolate back in the bag.

"You before? I think you look good without makeup, how bad can you be before. “

Han Fuyu tied up the snack bag, put it back on the table, and said, "I used to be 245 pounds at my peak. “

245…… When I heard this number, I was dumbfounded, and it was hard to imagine that this was the weight of the slender woman in front of me.

"It's a werewolf......" I sighed.

"Nothing to use. The battle is almost over, and when I get home, I have to be dragged by my mother to go on a blind date. Han Fuyu brought the headband next to the pillow back to his head.

"Blind date?" I shook my head, "Don't go on a blind date." ”

"Not on a blind date? Then you can find me a male ticket. Han Fuyu took out the mirror and adjusted the headband on his head.

"Don't look for it, I'll be your male ticket."

……

……

There was silence.

I didn't expect this sentence to come out so quickly, I wasn't even mentally prepared for it, I just said it casually, and I didn't feel nervous until I finished speaking. As a twenty-eight-year-old old virgin with no experience in love, his heart has long lost the throbbing when he faced the girl he liked when he was sixteen, so there is neither sweet words nor romance, just like nagging.

Han Fuyu was also stunned, and his face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She didn't know where to look, she didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, and she hung for a while with a smile on her face, and then she whispered to me in confusion:

"Are you serious?"

"I'm serious." I stood up and took the initiative to stretch out my hand, "Han Fuyu, let's be together." “

"I ......" Han Fuyu smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't expect you to ...... suddenly"

"Don't you agree?" I suddenly lost my nervousness and asked calmly.

"Oh my God......" she took a deep breath, took my hand hard, and replied loudly:

"Good!"

The two of us held hands, and we didn't know what to say next, so we just looked at each other quietly and smiled. For the first time since I was born, I feel that the woman in front of me, who is not related to me by blood, and the woman I met in the vast sea of people, is my family, my relatives, and the person I will protect for the rest of my life.

Valentine’s Day......

This is the first time I've written an emotional drama head-on, and I think it's still more realistic, not as earth-shattering as some romances. Although I have never been in love, with my rich experience as a dog, I think the confession of love should be relatively simple, not so much sassy operation.

How to say it, alas, this chapter has stuck me for a long time, and it is more difficult than writing about the death of Xiaoye.
