Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Su Wanxi took the Beretta 92F; its silver-white barrel gleamed under the light.

"I probably won't have a chance to use it again."

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement with Su Wanxi's opinion, and with nimble fingers disassembled the revolver and put it into her bag.

Walking on the concrete ground of the military area, Gu Cheng suddenly asked his fiancée about the casualties of the army. In this battle, she knew that at least a thousand people had died.

"The death toll is around 1,500, and the number of injured is just over 2,000..." Su Wanxi cleared her throat and continued.

"China provides generous compensation to the families of every soldier who dies in the line of duty and grants them the same preferential treatment as martyrs' families. The injured receive lifelong care from dedicated personnel and compensation that covers all medical expenses."

"This decision will be implemented immediately."

Gu Cheng remained silent after hearing this, while Su Wanxi looked at her lover's flawless white face and clenched her hands even tighter under her long sleeves.

After a while, Gu Cheng took a deep breath, her gaze passing through the crowd and power lines, looking up at the clear blue sky.

"pretty good."

The pain of losing a loved one may be incurable, but at least we should try.

They are the ones who deserve love the most.

Noticing that Gu Cheng was in a low mood, Su Wanxi took her for a walk on the street for a while. The two of them walked from the pedestrian street to the residential area with milk tea in their hands, and even went to the fountain square, which was far away from the military area. Finally, they found the parking lot by relying on GPS positioning.

"Orange, we need to write a battle report when we get back." Su Wanxi helped her fasten her seatbelt and then slowly rolled up the car window.

"The last time."

Gu Cheng smiled faintly upon hearing this, her gaze falling on the diamond ring on her finger that sparkled with light.

All her perseverance paid off, and she had never been as happy as she was now.

"Su Wanwan..."

Gu Cheng picked up the plastic cup and took small sips of the warm, sweet milk tea, which danced gently on her tongue.

"Hmm?" Su Wanxi gripped the steering wheel, not turning to look at her.

Gu Cheng touched the ring on her left hand, her tone leisurely.

"Let's get married."

P.S. End of main text.

There will be side stories, about ten chapters in total.

Chapter 440 (Extra Chapter 1)

After the winter solstice, the weather became increasingly cold. Every time Su Wanxi went out, she had to wear a thick long coat, with a knitted sweater and thermal underwear underneath. A pair of fleece-lined leggings was not enough; she also had to wear thick tights underneath.

When you're young, you might prioritize style over warmth, but it will be too late when you're old.

Su Wanxi bent down and lifted her knee-high boots, her long, glossy black hair cascading down beside her off-white scarf like a waterfall, exuding a unique, cool aura. After a moment, she stood up and paused in front of the full-length mirror.

Despite wearing many layers, it couldn't outshine Miss Su's natural beauty. The outfit didn't make her look bulky at all; instead, it made her exposed skin appear even whiter. Her curvaceous figure was subtly revealed through the long coat, making her look both beautiful and dashing.

"Wanwan looks amazing in this outfit too..."

Gu Cheng leaned forward, her hands braced on the sofa. Her plain white silk nightgown could barely conceal her figure, and a few strands of fine snow almost spilled out from under her collar.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi smiled slightly and gently beckoned Gu Cheng to come forward.

"That's what Orange said last time too."

She straightened Gu Cheng's collar, then leaned closer, a delicate fragrance wafting into her nose.

"So, who looks better, the clothes or me?"

The fragrance emanating from Su Wanxi seemed to possess a certain magic, enticing people to unconsciously fall for her. Gu Cheng felt her ears burning and leaned her soft hand against her shoulder, feigning reluctance.

"Of course you're prettier."

Su Wanxi's fashion sense is indeed good, but one thing is one thing. The most important thing is that she has a great figure, a good temperament, and an impeccable face. She's a clothes hanger and looks good in anything.

However, before they officially became a couple, Gu Cheng really didn't know that Su Wanxi was such a narcissistic person.

Having received a satisfactory reply, Su Wanxi leaned down and kissed Gu Cheng, her delicate lips becoming even redder and more alluring.

"Let's go, see you tonight."

"OK Bye Bye."

After speaking, seeing her lover still standing foolishly in the entryway, Su Wanxi couldn't help but reach out and rub his head a few times.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. There's a draft when you open the door, and you'll easily catch a cold."

Gu Cheng obediently took a few steps back, her gaze always fixed on Su Wanxi, her slender, curved eyelashes revealing undisguised affection.

"Okay, have a safe trip!"

After closing the door, Gu Cheng went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, then took the thermos back to the bedroom and opened her phone to browse the latest news.

Half a month has passed since that epic battle, and the doomsday theories circulating online have been disproven. There are rumors that some fishermen living in coastal cities saw explosions at night, while China's official explanation is that it was a military exercise.

According to the intelligence Gu Cheng knew, the military had evacuated the coastal residents long before the operation began, and the higher-ups had a general idea of ​​who these so-called "fishermen" were.

In addition to the disabled, awakened individuals who have lost their abilities have become the most discussed topic.

For nearly half a month, no rifts have formed globally, nor have there been any reports of the awakening of new generation ability users.

After discussion at the meeting, the top leadership of China decided to temporarily retain the original staffing and gradually retire them once it was determined that the situation would not worsen.

Although they have lost their superpowers, the Awakened still possess physical qualities and learning abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. According to Su Wanxi, most of the higher-ups are trying to reform the system so that these Awakened can naturally integrate into the general public.

Taking Qin Kexin as an example, the state will strongly support her return to school and provide appropriate preferential policies in the postgraduate entrance examination and civil service examination.

After reading the news for a while, Gu Cheng tucked her hands under the covers and turned to browse the forum.

After everything was over, the government relaunched the Hermit Bureau's official forum, and Gu Cheng was able to log in using his previous account.

The forum is quite different from what it was a few years ago. The administrators not only removed the database on occult knowledge, but also updated the website UI, making it much more user-friendly.

"What do you plan to do in the future if you don't have superpowers?"

This post was featured on the forum's homepage, and Gu Cheng clicked on it out of curiosity. Some people said they wanted to go home and inherit the family business worth millions, some said they wanted to continue serving in the army, and some joked that they wanted to find a place to work and set up a stall to sell jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).

A user with the ID "Qiuyu" posted that he wanted to confess his feelings to a girl he had a crush on for a long time.

"...Because I work in a high-risk job, I dare not easily reveal my feelings to her. I am afraid that she will agree or not. If she really agrees, but I die one day, how sad she will be."

The replies below were all blessings, with the occasional witty remark quickly drowned out.

Mischievous Killer: "Brother understands you, that's what a man is!"

autumn rain:"......"

Qiu Yu: "...I'm a girl too."

Upon seeing this, the woman couldn't help but smile, lightly tapping her jade-like finger to leave a message of good luck and wishing them a long and happy marriage.

After playing on her phone for half an hour, Gu Cheng suddenly felt a little tired and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Since returning to Beidu, her and Su Wanxi's biological clocks have been completely messed up.

Perhaps it was because they had been holding back for too long in the hospital, or perhaps it was because there had always been a huge weight on their hearts. The moment they returned home, they completely let go of their restraint. Sometimes, right after lunch, the two of them would lie on the sofa, and Gu Cheng would just casually kiss Su Wanxi a few times before he couldn't stop himself, and they would unknowingly waste the entire lunch break.

As night falls and the city lights come on, I first take a hot bath in the tub, then go to bed to read a quiet book, half-hidden behind a pipa, and read until the wee hours of the morning.

Being young, they've already tasted the sweetness of new flavors.

Gu Cheng had exclaimed more than once that Su Wanxi's waist was truly deadly. Not only did it look smooth and tender, but it also had a great sense of strength. Despite doing physical labor all the time, she seemed perfectly fine.

Thinking of Su Wanxi, Gu Cheng buried her head in the pillow, her fair and smooth legs gently clamping the blanket between them.

This Su Wanwan... is just too embarrassing...

Is the dining table a place for you to do this kind of thing?

What happened to Bai Rixuan is one thing, but now she has such bad thoughts even while eating.

After grumbling to herself, Gu Cheng turned her head to the side and took a few breaths, completely unaware that her cheeks were flushed.

However... it was indeed very comfortable and had a great feel to it...

Thinking about how she lost seven out of ten "fairy fights" with her fiancée, Gu Cheng tossed and turned in bed in frustration. In the end, she even gave up her own spot and nestled her delicate body completely against Su Wanxi's side.

Smelling the pillow still carrying the scent of her lover's hair, Gu Cheng's expression softened.

She gathered her loose brown hair and very generously comforted herself.

"Since you always like to lie on top of me like this, then I'll sleep on your pillow during the day..."

Miss Gu, who had been silent in her mind, couldn't hold back for a moment and burst out laughing. Hearing the other party's clear, bell-like laughter, Gu Cheng said irritably.

"why are you laughing?"

"...I thought of something happy."

She was completely under Su Wanxi's thumb.

Chapter 441 (Extra Chapter 2)

"I am back."

The door closed, and the room was quiet. Su Wanxi glanced at the sofa and then at the closed bedroom door, her pink lips slightly pursed.

Are you asleep?

She took off her boots and put on slippers, put the bags she was carrying into the refrigerator, checked her inventory, and then turned around and slowly pushed open the bedroom door with her long legs.

A sweet citrus scent wafted towards them, mixed with Su Wanxi's own faint perfume. The room was dark because the lights weren't on, but it was still possible to see the surroundings clearly.

Gu Cheng didn't sleep on her right side as usual. Instead, she lay on the side next to her, hugging the blanket. Her pretty face was pressed against the pillow, her thick brown hair covered her earlobes like brocade, her small mouth was slightly pouting, and she breathed softly. Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly with the movement.

The bedroom was heated, making it much warmer than outside. Gu Cheng felt too hot and refused to cover herself completely with the blanket. Under her plain white nightgown, a long, smooth, and delicate leg rested quietly above the hem. Bathed in the glow of the sunset, the woman's skin glowed with a translucent, jade-like luster.
