Chapter 1731: The Day of Negotiation
"Do you like me?"
This is a very common saying, and everyone may have heard it more or less in their lives. Those words sounded like on a sunny afternoon, when you were still young, youthful and flamboyant, and you could love unbridledly. At one time, we may have thought that we could keep each other's time and love never grows old. But time reminds us more than once that it will not pass and never return.
So when you walk on the journey of life, stop by chance, and suddenly look back, you are surprised to find that the scenery of the past has been blurred, and the vicissitudes of life.
Do you like me?
It's a very light sentence, if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Either way, it means a choice. And when you make a choice, there is no room for repentance.
It was quiet in the room.
Adele hung her head, not hearing any answers, she thought she knew. His lips were slightly upturned, and he was laughing, but it was ridiculously bitter. She was going to tell Alan that she was just joking. However, when the words come to the lips, it is difficult to speak.
It seems that this sentence weighs a thousand pounds, even comparable to mountains.
Her hands were cold, but the corners of her eyes were slightly hot, and her emotions were on the verge of getting out of control. It's just her self-esteem, her pride, that she didn't cry.
Then a warm hand gripped her cold palm, and she looked up to see Alan's fiery eyes. In the afternoon, the wind blew open the curtains, so that the sun could fall on Alan's face, and the flying dust would stop like an elf.
Alan reached out and held her little face, and whispered a word in her ear. Then Adele's crying came from the room, and the crying grew louder and louder, until at last she cried like a child.
Alan whispered in her ear, "I like you, past, present, and future. ”
And then Adele's fell.
At this moment, all self-esteem and pride left her, she cried, only tears can wash away the long-term sadness, and follow this man to the future ahead with a more relaxed attitude.
In that future, she couldn't share the whole world with him. Because she knew that there were other women around her.
But......
Whatever!
At least, he possessed a corner of his heart. Willingly? Of course unwilling, love is selfish, who doesn't want to possess the person they love alone. But this cake is destined to be shared with many people, so no matter how unwilling you are, it will not change this ending. So what you can do is not to appear in front of him with a resentful face, which will only make people annoying. A smart woman will make herself more radiant in order to win more attention.
And Adele has always been very smart.
After crying, Adele washed her face and changed into a women's outfit. From now on, she no longer has to arm herself with men's clothes, because a man has promised to protect her. So she could be herself, and Alan sat quietly on the side, quietly watching her change clothes, makeup, and combs, and finally stood up, as radiant as a princess.
"Let's go and meet Mr. Kate together.
Alan took the princess's hand and said.
Adele's unprecedentedly little face flushed, but she nodded without hesitation.
In the study, when I saw the well-dressed Adele, the book in old Kate's hand fell on the table with a bang, and then said: "What's the matter, my baby looks as happy as a lark that can sing." ”
Adele looked at Alan and wanted to say something. But he was pulled back by Allen, and he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Kate, about the marriage between our two families, I want to revise the content. Before coming, I have obtained the consent of my eldest brother Reina, and I hope that I will complete the marriage between you and me in place of my brother Reina. ”
Old Kate stood up directly and said excitedly: "Really? ”
It's no wonder that old Kate was excited, originally his ideal candidate was also Allen, but at that time, Adele chose Reina instead of Allen. Unexpectedly, after only half a day, things changed like this, and old Kate was a little overjoyed. Wise as he is, how could he not figure out the key, he sighed and looked at Adele and said: "Fortunately, Alan is here today, otherwise you will regret it in the future, and grandpa will be sad." ”
Adele shook her shoulders, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, grandpa, it's me who is willful." ”
"Forget it, you can't be so willful in the future. Otherwise, see if Alan still wants you. ”
"He dares!"
All of a sudden, the girl returned to her true colors, and both Alan and old Kate laughed.
After leaving the Mowson house, Alan took Adele back to his house, where he met Horn in his study and explained the situation. Horn is also happy with this result, Bescord and the Mowson family have always been friends, and now with the relationship between Ellen and Adele, the two families will become closer.
And it was a choice made by the young people themselves, and Horn was happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Call Roddy and ask him to announce the matter to the public. That evening, a small private banquet was held in Bethcord's mansion, where the heads of the various families in the base were invited, and the marriage of the two families was announced at the banquet.
The feast ended late at night, but the young people made a fuss until daylight. Especially Reina, who rushed back from Petertown, caught Alan drinking, but finally drank himself.
As the sky shone brightly, Alan carried Reina to his room. Reyna squinted his eyes and muttered, "You know what, Alan." At first, I didn't like you at all, because you were so beautiful, and I was thinking, such a guy should be my brother, and he can go to the battlefield? Even if you go up, you'll be scared. ”
"But then I now, you guy turned out to be a ruthless character, so it's okay to think about it, so-so qualified to be my brother."
"Remember when we overthrew that Dark Titan on Frost Star?"
Alan nodded.
"Now that I think about it, it's like I was born yesterday. I think it was at that time that I really accepted that I had a brother like you. If you're just a softie, I'll admit you, but you're good, you're not a softie. Ha ha. ”
"You know what? You're deposing Waffle's bastard, it's more enjoyable than defeating Capu. It's just that it's still too light, how can you just burst his eggs, and you have to beat him half to death, whatever. ”
"You're drunk."
Alan pushed the room open and threw Reina's chunk onto the bed. Reina hugged the pillow and shouted: "I'm not drunk, how can I be drunk, I can still drink, I don't believe you will drink with me again." ”
"Okay, okay, can't I admit defeat. You're the best at drinking, so it's better to go to bed now. ”
Reina muttered something, and then fell into a deep sleep, snoring like thunder. Alan shook his head and withdrew from the room, his heart filled with warmth.
And so another day passed, and finally, it was time for the Federation to negotiate with Capro and other forces. Today's negotiations will be chaired by the federal president of the Union and will be attended by important figures such as Capu, Vincent and Warry. In addition, more than a dozen families, large and small, including Bethcord, were also invited to observe. So early in the morning, Allen was fully dressed, and today he will attend this conference with Horn and Roddy. It is foreseeable that this conference will determine the fate of the future earth, and Alan sincerely hopes that it will be held smoothly and end successfully.
After breakfast, there was already a spaceship ready at the base port. Riding the flying car to the port, Alan followed Horn and the others towards the airship. There were many people who came to see them off, including Adele, and the Mosen family also received an invitation, but Adele didn't plan to attend, just came to see them off.
She is wearing a floral dress today and a hat on her head, and although she no longer wears men's clothes, the feeling of a girl is still refreshing. She walked over, took Eren and walked to the airship and said, "You have to be careful, I always think that Capro and they can't agree so easily." ”
"I will, wait at home for me to come back."
Alan gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek, and then Adele let him go. He stepped onto the airship and sat across from Horn and Kate Sr., and sat with Roddy. After a moment, the body shook, and the airship took off.
Leave Bethcord's family base and head to the federal city where today's convention is being held, Caesar!
Mammoth yawned and walked down the long passageway. As a member of the ground base of the Federal Space Defense Agency, Mamus has always been proud to serve at the base. It would be nice if the time spent working at the base could be shortened.
"Hey, Mameth. Didn't you sleep last night, let Mr. Rika see you like this, you should be scolded again, right? The oncoming colleague teased.
Mams laughed and scolded, "You crow's mouth, I can't figure out how Jenny likes you." ”
"Because I have a flexible tongue, it not only says nice things, but also does things that make Jenny happy."
"God, this is at the base, you should be careful when you speak."
"Alright, I'll see you after work, man."
Mames works on the base's monitoring platform, and his main job is to observe whether the various satellites in space are functioning properly. Of course, he is not the only one in charge of this work, but he is the only one who is mainly responsible for the Sword of Dawn.
This is the reason why Mames is proud, it is the Sword of Dawn, which is known as the patron saint of the earth, and there are so many people in the entire base, and he is the only one who can face that star rail cannon every day.
As usual, Maames made his way to his workbench and first opened the Starrail Cannon's management system and skimmed through the readings. Humming a song, he poured himself a cup of coffee, and returned to his workbench, where he took a sip of coffee and began to start the self-test process of the Star Rail Cannon.
It's a tedious, uninteresting process. Marmus was so happy that he hummed a few tones while drinking coffee, and began to imagine going to have a glass of wine with the new, hot girls in the logistics department after work and enjoy the rest of the night, and he laughed unconsciously when he thought about it.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the scrolling screen, making Mams's peachy fantasy disappear!
