IACF [QT] Chapter 96.5

“Really! Those who mentioned family marriages upstairs, please open your eyes and take a look. This is such a loving marriage. Please give me a dozen.”

“Don’t you know there’s an idiom called ‘playing a game at every turn’?”

“I seem to have found something good, from the Royal Academy Forum, click in to see the surprise. ‘The ace of the Practical Combat Department is passionately pursuing the freshman of the Music Department. Pictures speak louder than words!'”

“I’ve finished watching it. It’s really very sweet. For those who said it was just a casual affair, could you please move your fingers and go watch it?”

“Don’t argue with them. When the time comes, they will accuse the post of being fake, the poster of being a troll, and the prince of being a showman. Look, I’ve even thought of a reason for them.”

“That’s right. But speaking of it, the prince is much more devoted than His Majesty. I heard that he had never been in a relationship in the academy for several years, and then he fell in love with the princess at first sight and started pursuing her. After he got her, he immediately got engaged and established his relationship with her. Thinking about his mother and His Majesty’s lovers, they didn’t even have a public identity for so many years, let alone a name. It’s so sad.”

“Wake up, upstairs! Those people who make you sad all live in big mansions and estates. You are just a bricklayer. If you want to spread excessive sympathy, it depends on whether others give you the opportunity.”

“Haha, it’s okay to just read this kind of news, but there are actually people who get into the drama. It made me laugh to death.”

After the engagement banquet, Huo Jun prepared to leave the academy.

The night before, he and Su Yi sneaked out again and went to a wooden house in the dense forest to watch the stars.

This forest may seem eerie and scary to others, but it means a lot to Huo Jun.

When he was a child, he feared it, hated it, conquered it, and eventually turned it into his only safe place. Later, he met Su Yi here and fell in love with her, and now they are parting here again.

Su Yi sat on the platform outside the wooden house, looking up at the starry night, her legs dangling in the air and her slender white calves swaying gently.

Huo Jun was rustling around in the wooden house. No one knew what he was doing. He didn’t come out for a long time.

Su Yi didn’t turn her head, but she felt him holding her hand in his palm, squeezing it gently as usual. Then, as he was squeezing it, she found something wrapped around her fingers.

Looking down, it was a black ring, which could barely be called a ring.

She tilted her head to look at Huo Jun, but Huo Jun was looking at the starry sky. If it weren’t for the sweat on his palms holding her hand, she really thought that he was as calm as he looked.

“What is this?”

“…” Huo Jun muttered.

Su Yi leaned her ear over: “What?”

He still didn’t look at her, but he said in one go: “It’s the breastplate of the first S-level Zerg I encountered. At that time, I thought I was dead, but I woke up again. The Zerg corpse was still beside me, and this breastplate was stuck in my chest. If it was deeper, I wouldn’t be here now.”

Su Yi nodded as she listened, “So you kept that breastplate and ground it into this ring?”

It did really mean a lot, but did he need to be so hesitant?

As a result, Huo Jun continued: “It used to be the closest thing to my heart, but it’s not now. You are closer than it. You are in my heart.”

He said the last sentence while staring at the stars in his head, and after saying it, he still stubbornly refused to look back at her.

Su Yi felt that this love talk was a bit tacky, but seeing his embarrassed look, it was actually a bit cute and a bit touching.

She moved closer to someone, who refused to look at her, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Huo Jun was tense all over, and after a while, he raised his hands and hugged her.

Perhaps the embarrassment had worn off, and he hesitated, “Isn’t it not romantic at all?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s romantic or not, as long as I like it.” Su Yi said.

She opened her ring-wearing hand toward the night sky. The black ring on her white finger was particularly eye-catching.

She stretched out her other hand and touched the ring, saying, “It was once so close to your heart. Every time I touch it from now on, it will be like touching your heart.”

Huo Jun was unsure whether her words were just superficial meanings or whether they sounded more profound because she had other intentions.

After Su Yi finished speaking, she tilted her head back, and the breath she exhaled almost sprayed on his chin.

“Don’t you think you should kiss me now after saying so many cheesy words?”

“…Oh.”
