After seeing the guests off, Shu Shengyi tiptoed upstairs, unable to hide the happy smile on his face.

But when she opened the door and saw a figure standing in the living room, she was startled and quickly put her hands behind her back. She didn't dare to come in. She just stood at the door and called out carefully, "A Xu?"

Hearing her voice, Song Xu stiffly moved his body, took a few steps and slowly turned around. His dark eyes were dim and empty, and his expressionless face was lifeless. Seeing this, Shu Shengyi's heart trembled, and he immediately stopped smiling.
"Ah Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Song Xu stood still, just looking at her, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
"Are you leaving?"

Shu Shengyi felt something was wrong with Song Xu's current state. She didn't know what had happened in the few minutes when she went out to get something that caused Song Xu to become like this.

Shu Sheng took two tentative steps inside, always paying attention to Song Xu's changes. When he saw that her empty eyes were still fixed on him, he felt relieved for some reason.
"No, why would I leave? I just went downstairs to get something."

"Really? Aren't you going to leave me?"
Song Xu spoke indifferently as he watched her slowly approach him, holding something in her hands and hiding it behind her back.

"A Xu, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly think of this? I can't leave you."
Shu Shengyi frowned at first, then relaxed his expression and said softly:
"Are you worried about General Salman? Don't worry, he won't reveal your identity to anyone. Besides, I think we will be home soon."

"go home?"
Song Xu stared at the relaxed smile on Shu Shengyi's face, and a light gradually appeared in his eyes.

Shu Shengyi had already walked up to her, looked at her dazed expression, and chuckled.

"Yes, go home. Back to Clot, back to Liberty Star, back to our home."

After saying that, Shu Shengyi took out his hands that had been hidden behind his back, and put the bouquet of bright red roses directly in front of Song Xu. Then she was seen kneeling on one knee with the bouquet of roses in her hand, her smiling eyes shining like stars.

"A Xu, I like you. Are you willing to officially be my girlfriend?"

The moment the words fell, the coldness in her heart faded away. Her whole body felt like the spring that had come and the mountains and rivers had revived. The coldness had faded, leaving only warmth. Song Xu felt her heart pounding, as if urging her to agree quickly.

"I do."
Hugging the red bouquet in front of him, Song Xu finally smiled softly. His starry eyes curved into a crescent shape, but could not conceal the surging light of tears. Finally, they turned into pearls that rolled down the corners of his eyes, sprinkled on the delicate petals of the roses, and blended with the originally crystal dewdrops on them.

Shu Shengyi quickly stood up and wiped her tears, coaxing her as he did so.
"Don't cry, dear Ah Xu. How can you cry when you should be happy? I feel so sad when you cry. Please stop crying, okay?"

"I thought you were gone and you didn't want me anymore"
Song Xu looked up at her, crying and laughing at the same time, her voice choked with sobs, and she couldn't stop wiping away her tears, and the tip of her nose had also become red. Seeing this, Shu Sheng felt distressed and wanted to laugh a little.

"A Xu, little fool, how could I not want you? A Xu is my baby."

Shu Sheng gently held Song Xu's face in his hands and looked into her eyes seriously, every word he spoke was full of promise and love.

Song Xu looked at her greedily through the hazy mist. This was her voice, and even more so her light.

Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. Even though she quickly closed her eyes, the tears still fell on Shu Shengyi's hands. The scorching temperature seemed to penetrate her skin and spread to her heart.

Shu Shengyi couldn't wipe it off with his hands, so he just put his lips on it.

The hot tears brushed against the slightly cool skin, but they were too stingy to leave any warmth. The warm lips gently pressed against the eyelids, and the warmth effectively soothed the tear glands.

Feeling the lips placing a slow and gentle kiss on each pair of eyes before slowly moving away, Song Xu opened her eyes. Her eyes were still filled with tears, but at least the tears had stopped falling.

Shu Shengyi rubbed her eyes lightly with the tip of his thumb and couldn't help laughing.
"Ah Xu is so cute."

"Is it just cute?"
Song Xu was a little dissatisfied. He looked at her with his watery eyes, looking pitiful.

"Hmm~ Let me think about it."
Shu Sheng also tilted his head, pretending to be in deep thought, which made Song Xu purse her lips in dissatisfaction. She then laughed out loud, pinched Song Xu's soft cheek, and gave her a light kiss on the corner of her lips.

"Now, Ah Xu is the only thing I care about in this world. He is my lover, my family, and my baby."

this world?
Song Xu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shu Shengyi with scrutiny.

Shu Sheng was unaware of it. He slowly put his arms around Song Xu's waist and kept kissing her on the face. Although his eyes kept looking at Song Xu's lips, he was so timid that he only dared to touch the corner of her lips.

Song Xu couldn't tell anything from her actions, so he had to ask:
"Why does Shengsheng like me? She rejected me so firmly at the beginning and even said that we are both Betas and can't be together. You still don't believe that I like you, huh."

The more he spoke, the more his tone sounded like a complaint, and Song Xu himself didn't even realize it. Shu Shengyi felt his scalp tingling as he listened to his own Ah Xu's complaints.

If she could, she wanted to go back to the time when she was an idiot and catch her and beat her up. But after thinking about it carefully, she found that she was not that stupid later, so forget it.
But how should Ah Xu explain this now to get away with it?
Shu Sheng also realized that what he was facing was a life-threatening question. "Speak."
Song Xu raised his hand and pushed her shoulder, but the nervousness in his eyes was hidden well.

"Well, do I need a reason to like Ah Xu? Ah Xu deserves to be liked by everyone, but now Ah Xu is mine."
Shu Shengyi suddenly had an idea and started speaking sweet words, but he couldn't divert Song Xu's attention.

Song Xu just looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Shu Shengyi was embarrassed for a moment, then naturally took the towel from Song Xu's hand, put it directly on Song Xu's head and began to wipe it gently.
"Can you dry your hair first?"

Song Xu let her move and continued to look at her without saying anything.

Shu Sheng had no choice but to wipe her hair while organizing his words.

"When I first saw Ah Xu, I was actually already moved. However, at that time, I didn't realize my feelings yet and said so much nonsense."

Shu Sheng also smiled, without stopping the gentle wiping motion with his hands.
"In the following days, no matter what I did, I was always with you, Xu. I gradually felt very satisfied, and it felt like a wish that had existed for a long time had come true."

"A Xu, during the time we met, I always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if we had always been together, but just separated for some reason before. It's really a wonderful feeling, right?"

"Familiar feeling?"
Song Xu whispered softly, with complex emotions in his eyes that were hard to describe.

"Yes, it's a wonderful feeling. I remember an old saying called past life and present life. Are Ah Xu and I also together in the past life, and meet again in this life?"

Shu Sheng also smiled and his hands moved very gently, but it made Song Xu's eyes red in an instant.
"Shengsheng is right. We were really together in our previous life, and we are still together now."

"Then, can we still be together in the next life?"
Shu Shengyi looked at Song Xu's slightly red eyes, quickly put down the towel and coaxed her softly.

Song Xu nodded vigorously, and his dried hair swayed a little messily, which made Shu Shengyi laugh out loud, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Song Xu looked at her laughing so hard that he was a little confused at first. Then he raised his hand and touched his hair, and found that it was messy like weeds.

"Humph."
Song Xu pushed her away, turned around and went upstairs with the bouquet of roses, leaving Shu Shengyi there to laugh to his heart's content.

Seeing Song Xu's angry back as she went upstairs, Shu Shengyi finally realized that something was wrong and hurriedly chased after her. As a result, she was locked outside the door, and her nose almost hit it the moment the door closed.

"Ah Xu, I was wrong."
He raised his hand and knocked on the door several times, then Shu Shengyi shouted with a bitter face.

But she forgot that this was the residence prepared by the military for officers, and the materials used were of the best quality. The sound insulation effect of this door was unmatched by ordinary materials.

Song Xu closed the door in anger and only felt a slight vibration of the door in the room, and no other sound.

So Song Xu, whose mood was as up and down as a roller coaster tonight, decided to let someone stand outside the door for a while while combing his hair.

*
Later, in just three days, Shu Shengyi went to the military headquarters and then to the military camp. When he came back, he was followed by a group of soldiers from the Second Legion.

Dozens of people had a lively meal together. Shu Shengyi formally introduced Song Xu to them and also talked about his plan to return to his hometown with Song Xu.

The others were silent for a while and then, led by the deputy leader, expressed their blessings to the two.

The day after the party, the military officially issued a written document, stating that when all the soldiers of the Second Legion retired, all their honors would be retained, and after retirement, all soldiers would enjoy lifelong preferential treatment from the empire.

Shu Shengyi was a little bit unbelievable when he first received the document, but he quickly accepted it.
My luck is so good this once in a blue moon, I really have to thank the Second Prince.

"Shengsheng, everything is packed."
Song Xu came downstairs carrying a small bag, and Shu Shengyi had already brought two suitcases to the door.
Taking one last look at the room, Shu Sheng smiled at Song Xu and said:
"Okay, let's go."
After saying that, she went downstairs first, carrying two boxes.

Song Xu followed behind and closed the door. When he reached the yard, he saw Shu Shengyi talking to a strange young man at the gate.
Shu Shengyi handed the luggage to the young man, then came over and held Song Xu's hand.
"It was sent by General Salman to take us to the transportation port."

Song Xu stared at the young man with a simple smile at the car door, and for some reason she felt a little uncomfortable. But after all, he was sent by General Salman, so she could only nod to Shu Shengyi.
"it is good."
