Its speed as fast as lightning and almost leaving a trail of afterimages across the human retina, the white swan soared through the blue sky.When it slowly landed at the secret airport of the military base, countless ground crew and pilots swarmed over. They lifted Huo Shaoheng up as if he was a hero returning victorious, and they threw him into the air again and again!

“Wula! Wula! ”

The sound of cheering reverberated throughout.

At this moment, everyone had temporarily forgotten the boundaries of their country.

Everyone was sunply expressing their admiration for the hero, as well as their joy and admiration for the human race’s ability to push new limits.

Struck with pride, Gu Nianzhi stood proudly in the middle of the two KGB officers. “This is my Major General Huo, extremely impressive! ”

The two KGB officers glanced at each other and became even more amiable towards Gu Nianzhi. “Cereus, since today is such a joyous day, shall we all go out for drinks together?”

Gu Nianzhi touched her face and shook her head regretfully. “I’m still dizzy. I nearly vomited moments before. I’m going back to rest for a while. Can we go out to have fun tomorrow?” She then added, “I can’t drink yet. I’m not even 22.”

“What?!” The middle-aged driver jumped up. “You’re not even 22?! Didn’t you graduate from Graduate School?!”

Gu Nianzhi: ” … to be precise, I’m not even 20.”

The middle-aged driver pursed his lips and pounded his chest heavily. He howled like an ape, “I can’t live anymore! I can’t live anymore! You’re only half my age, but your rank is twice as high as mine!”

Vladimir sneered at the side. “Only half your age? Do you know how to count? Are you really only 40? Do you have any sense of shame? ”

As if someone had grabbed his throat, the driver abruptly stopped howling.

He coughed awkwardly and said in a serious tone, “Alright now, it’s impolite to discuss age in front of a lady. Vladimir, let’s not talk about such a delicate topic.”

He was the one who had brought it up first, and now he was blaming it on Vladimir.

Vladimir was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

Gu Nianzhi stood by the side with a smile on her face. She tried to console Vladimir first. “I don’t mind so it’s fine. Just say whatever you want.”

Then she asked the driver, “… How old are you exactly?”

Young girls under the age of 20 didn’t mind discussing age.

The ones who did mind were mature women over the age of 30.

As for men, those who do mind discussing age are at least over the age of 40.

The driver’s eyes appeared dodgey, but he did not answer Gu Nianzhi’s question. After muttering a few words, he said, “I’ll drive the car over and take you back to the hotel.” With that said, he ran off and disappeared.

Vladimir was very pleased with Gu Nianzhi. He lowered his head, pulled out his phone, and sent a Wechat message. He then pushed Gu Nianzhi’s arm. ” … Go and click like.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone and saw a red dot on her moments page.

She clicked it open and saw that she had added a new post on her moments page under the name “Vladimir-KGB No. 2.”.

[Vladimir-KGB No. 2] : Today, I sat in the most thrilling tu-160 ever. I even saw the cutest little fairy, Cereus. I like it. JPG.

The accompanying picture was one of Gu Nianzhi gazing towards Huo Shaoheng’s direction from the cockpit.

However, in the picture, the dashboard in front of Huo Shaoheng had been completely blurred, and only Gu Nianzhi’s beautiful profile was clearly visible.

From the angle that Vladimir had taken the picture, Gu Nianzhi appeared enamored, and her eyes appeared glued to Huo Shaoheng.

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips into a smile.

This was a good photo. Although the dashboard had been blurred, Vladimir must not have known that Gu Nianzhi was a computer expert..

If she couldn’t do it, there was still Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze.

With the three of them, it wouldn’t be a problem to restore the blurred background..

Gu Nianzhi clicked open the photo and happily chose to “save it to my phone”.

She liked the photo below and commented, “Uncle Vladimir, you flatter me. Thank you for your gift. I really like it!”

Vladimir replied immediately.

[Vladimir-kgb No. 2] : When are you getting married? You must invite me to the wedding!

Gu Nianzhi glanced at Vladimir, who was right beside her, and felt tongue-tied.

After a while, the middle-aged driver drove the jeep to their side, honked the horn, and said, “What are you guys doing? Get in the car.”

Vladimir didn’t even look up as he said, “I’m replying to Cereus’s Wechat moment. Don’t make a scene.”

“What’s wrong with you!” The middle-aged driver honked the horn frantically. “Cereus is standing right next to you, and you’re not talking to her, but chatting with her on Wechat?!”

Out of humiliation, Vladimir flew into a rage. He swiftly stuffed his phone back into his pocket and glared at the middle-aged driver. “Just you wait! I’m sending you to Siberia to dig up black soil!”

“You’re using your official position to avenge your personal grudge!” The middle-aged driver was also angry. He was always being scolded. Even Clay Bodhisattva has a temper.

“How am I using my official position to avenge my personal grudge? You’re being disrespectful to your boss!” Vladimir knocked on the car window. “Who talks to their boss like that?!”

“You’re just jealous of me! ” The middle-aged driver put on a long face. “You’re jealous that I’m more likable than you are!”

So what if they were all immature!

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Vladimir: “… ”

She really had no idea how to deal with him.

It would be unfortunate to have such a happy-go-lucky subordinate!

Forget it, forget it.

Upon seeing that Huo Shaoheng had arrived, Vladimir stopped bickering with the middle-aged driver. They got into the car to send Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi back to their hotel.

Huo Shaoheng was still in a state of excitement. His handsome face was filled with an indescribable vigor and suaveness.

Although he still appeared calm and composed, when he got into the car and saw the beaming Gu Nianzhi, he couldn’t help but hugg her and kiss her.

“Ah AH AH AH AH AH, my eyes are really going blind from all the PDA!” When the chauffeur saw themn from the rear view mirror, he turned his head to shout again.

This time, Vladimir didn’t scold him. He followed up by saying, “… I’ve become blind long ago!” Then he calmly took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

Huo Shaoheng’s kiss was long and passionate. It was as if he wanted to vent all his excitement through this kiss.

Gu Nianzhi’s lips grew numb from his kiss, and she finally pushed him away.

She wanted to say something to him, but when she saw the passion in Huo Shaoheng’s usually calm deep eyes, she suppressed the urge.

She rolled her eyes and glared at him.

Huo Shaoheng felt that his life was complete.

The woman he loved the most had finally agreed to marry him and was no longer angry at him. She had even given him a gift that he would never forget for his entire life!

..

Back at the hotel entrance, Huo Shaoheng wanted to express his gratitude to the two KGB men. The two of them waved their hands and left without saying anything.

Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”

Gu Nianzhi was in a hurry to go back to her room to organize her memory.

“Major General Huo, I have a headache. I need to go back and sleep for a while.” Gu Nianzhi winked at him.

Huo Shaoheng snapped back to reality and became a little worried. “Airsick? It’s my fault. I got carried away today. I didn’t expect you to not be used to the speed of a fighter jet.”

Gu Nianzhi rubbed her forehead with her hand. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine after I go back and sleep for a while.”

“I’ll walk you up and sleep with you. ” Huo Shaoheng put his arm around her shoulder and walked towards the lobby elevator.

Gu Nianzhi quickly rejected him. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll sleep alone. Don’t you have other work to do?”

She was implying that she didn’t need Huo Shaoheng to accompany her. Although Huo Shaoheng was worried, he saw how insistent Gu Nianzhi was, so he didn’t insist. He only said, “Okay, I’ll just sit in your living room and take care of some mail. We’ll order dinner when you wake up.”

Gu Nianzhi continued to refuse. “It’s really not necessary. We just got engaged today, but you’re already staying over in my room. Isn’t that bad?”

This reminded Huo Shaoheng.

“Oh right, we’re engaged. You can stay at my place.” Huo Shaoheng didn’t say anything else. He pulled Gu Nianzhi’s arm into the elevator and walked to the door of her room. “Pack your things and stay at my place.”

Huo Shaoheng’s room was bigger and more luxurious. Gu Nianzhi’s room was a standard room.

They hadn’t announced their relationship publicly before. It was similar to the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to live together openly.

But now that they were engaged, who would dare object?

Huo Shaoheng didn’t care about these gossips to begin with. He didn’t force her to stay with him only because he was concerned about Gu Nianzhi’s mood.

Now that they were engaged, they had a sword of their own.

Anyone who dared to act recklessly would be stabbed in the back.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t expect her excuses to backfire on her. In a moment of desperation, she said, “There is surveillance on your room, yet you want me to stay there?!”

Huo Shaoheng calmed down after hearing what Gu Nianzhi said.

He had forgotten about the surveillance and recording equipment in his room because he was distracted by how he could be together with Gu Nianzhi in the open now.

“Okay, then I’ll stay in your room.” Huo Shaoheng said as he returned to his room to pack up his things. At the same time, he checked out of his luxurious suite.

Gu Nianzhi: “… ”

..

“Go to sleep. Why are you still standing?” Huo Shaoheng came to Gu Nianzhi’s room, and after putting his things away, he looked up to see that Gu Nianzhi had no intention of sleeping.

Gu Nianzhi sighed and said honestly, “I don’t actually want to sleep.”

Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”

“What’s wrong? Is your body feeling unwell? Or are you feeling mentally unwell? ” Huo Shaoheng was a little anxious, but it didn’t appear so on the surface. His expression was calm, and his voice sounded as low and mellow as usual.

Gu Nianzhi walked over with her head lowered. She stretched out a finger and hooked it around the corner of Huo Shaoheng’s shirt. She said softly, “I’ve memorized all the data from your flight moments before. I wanted to write it down and give you a surprise… ”

Now that Huo Shaoheng was insisting on spending the night with her, how could she give him a surprise?!

Huo Shaoheng was stunned.

Moved and overjoyed, he was gradually overcome with a wave of emotions.

He slowly pulled Gu Nianzhi’s hand and placed it on his chest. He couldn’t say a word. He simply let her feel the beating of his heart, which beated even more rapidly than usual.

It beated so powerfully and so intensely that it was as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest any moment.

Upon feeling his strong heartbeat, Gu Nianzhi looked up in surprise. In his eyes, she saw his unconcealed love that seemed as deep as the sea.

She wanted the sea, and he could finally give it to her.

It was as if a traveler on a long journey had finally seen the bright light of home quietly beaming warm light in the night sky.

She should be smiling with satisfaction, but when she smiled, tears fell.

“You’re too old to be crying and laughing.” Huo Shaoheng smiled as he shook his head, then he took out a tissue to wipe away her tears.

..

That night, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng didn’t sleep for the entire night.

The both of them used their laptops and worked together to restore the data on the white swan plane.

Gu Nianzhi recorded all the flight parameters first and showed them to Huo Shaoheng for him to confirm and correct.

Huo Shaoheng restored the background of the photo Vladimir had posted on his Wechat moments.

Next, Gu Nianzhi used her memory to draw the entire cockpit using mapping software.

She didn’t have any special artistic talent. The blueprint of the cockpit using the mapping software could only be considered decent in terms of its general direction and specific markings, but the drawing was much more uglier than the original cockpit.

When Huo Shaoheng looked at the flight parameters, he was impressed by Gu Nianzhi again.

She actually remembered all those flight parameters, that appeared like rolling wheels, so clearly!

Based on his experience, there wasn’t a single mistake.

However, when he saw the cockpit blueprint that Gu Nianzhi had drawn with the mapping software, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Nianzhi asked quickly, “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

“No, it’s just that the drawing doesn’t look good.” Huo Shaoheng smiled as he stroked her head.

Gu Nianzhi pouted and looked unhappy.

Huo Shaoheng leaned in and rested his head on top of hers, then said calmly, “… I don’t want you to be too smart.”

When Gu Nianzhi appeared to be too smart for her own good, Huo Shaoheng felt insecure sometimes. He was afraid that she would disappear one day.

Now that he saw that she also had flaws, instead of feeling regretful, he felt that her flaws made her even more perfect.

Her flaws made her perfect, and only then would she be with him forever.
