Chapter 733: Snowy Night

Inside the banquet hall I didn't notice, but once I stepped outside, I felt the cold of the Northern Union's weather.

By Qin Ge's side, Fearless tightened their clothes, and the hand holding Qin Ge's arm gripped even tighter.

Feeling the feel of the cotton coat and the warmth where his arm sank in, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, 'Not bad; out at sea the temperature was much lower than this.'

'But back then the commander wasn't by my side; I stayed in the room and didn't need to go out, so I couldn't feel it.' Fearless said, rolling their eyes.

'Your older sister comes over every day, doesn't she? Then why don't you come to my command ship to find me?' Qin Ge asked.

'Sister Guanghui can't wait to live on your ship every day, which is why she's so eager. As for why I don't come find you, of course I want to be a lady—have you ever seen a lady who actively goes after their lover?' Fearless snapped.

Qin Ge rolled his eyes, 'If Guanghui hears these words, you'll be in big trouble. And what do you mean by lover?'

Fearless chuckled, 'Hehe, the commander won't let Sister Guanghui know, after all she's your marriage ship, you're my brother-in-law, and I'm your younger sister-in-law.'

'Cough, don't say that; I always feel a sense of impropriety.' Qin Ge coughed.

'What's the matter? It's obviously exciting, isn't it?' Fearless chuckled, 'Hey, brother-in-law, when are you going to prepare a ring for me? Every day I see Sister Guanghui's ring on her hand, and it looks so pretty.'

'Because it's pretty, so you want a ring?' Qin Ge sighed, 'You're not like your older sister Victory, who pursues beautiful things—I might believe her when she says this, but I don't believe you.'

'Tch, let's have a proper conversation.' Fearless tugged at Qin Ge's arm, 'You know my true side, so from now on I don't intend to hide myself in front of you. You even said I'm cute like this, right? So as a mutual agreement, isn't the Oath Ring fitting?'

'Ha, you really are like that.' Qin Ge smiled and said, 'But do you just want a ring? Why didn't you say so before?'

'Before? Even Sister Guanghui doesn't have a ring; if I wanted one, I'd definitely become their main target.' Fearless looked at Qin Ge with wine-red eyes, smiling, 'But now it's different—the commander hands out rings like they're free, and since we usually get along well, isn't it only natural for me to have one?'

'Tsk, you really are...' Qin Ge was speechless.

'So, when are you going to give me a ring?' Fearless pressed.

Qin Ge smiled, 'What's in it for me?'

Fearless blinked, then broke into a smile, 'Hey, Commander big brother, after you give me the ring, you can do to me the same things you do with Sister Guanghui.'

Qin Ge's old face turned red, 'Cough, I'm worried my bed can't bear your weight.'

'Yah!' Fearless jumped up, 'Don't say that!'

'Hey, that's just how it is.' Qin Ge said with a smile, 'So let's be realistic—if you regret it after getting the ring, I can't possibly go tell Sister Guanghui on you, can I?'

'Huh...' Fearless gave a look of disdain, but never let go of Qin Ge's arm the whole time, 'The commander really doesn't cast the hawk without seeing the rabbit.'

'I really value immediate benefits; the future is too far to reach.' Qin Ge laughed.

'Tsk, hey, close your eyes.' Fearless said helplessly.

'No way—if you close your eyes and run off, wouldn't I be the only one left here freezing?' Qin Ge shook his head, refusing to close his eyes.

'Tch, you saw through me. Then how about I promise not to run?' Fearless said.

'No, forget it—if you won't give it, I'll do it myself.' Qin Ge said with a laugh, then suddenly lifted Fearless with one arm and held them against his chest.

'Yah, commander!' Fearless looked startled, face flushed, 'I'm not ready yet.'

'Then do you still want the ring?' Qin Ge asked.

'Yes!' Fearless answered firmly.

'Then let's do it.'

After Qin Ge finished speaking, he lowered his head and suddenly kissed Fearless's lips, feeling that trembling warmth. In the snowy night, beneath the castle, this scene was quite beautiful.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Qin Ge's eyes were full of laughter, but Fearless opposite looked like they had made a mistake.

'What's wrong?' Qin Ge laughed.

'I originally wanted to see the commander flustered, but I didn't expect to implicate myself.' Fearless said with a pout, 'Now you must give me a ring, or… or I'll get angry, the kind that can't be soothed.'

Qin Ge put both hands in his pockets, smiling, 'Alright, let's wait until we get home anyway—there's still plenty of time later. I'm heading in, and you?'

'Of course I'm going in—it's freezing out here!' Fearless said, quickly coming to Qin Ge's side and following him back into the banquet hall.

Just as they entered the banquet hall, they saw Victory coming toward them.

'Huh, commander, Fearless? Look at you two—you seem to have just come back from the snow.'

'Sister Victory.' Fearless gave Victory a lady's salute.

Qin Ge said with a smile, 'Just now during the dance intermission, so I took a turn around the banquet hall, unexpectedly ran into Fearless, chatted a while, and then we came back together.'

'Oh?' Victory glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle, 'Well, I still trust the commander, so is the commander now preparing to continue resting?'

Qin Ge quickly waved his hand, 'Enough rest, and it's colder outside—I'm getting ready to move around.'

'Hehe, then hurry up—they've been waiting there a long time.' Victory laughed.

'Hmm, then what about you?' Qin Ge asked.

'Go find Tierbici—she's always sitting alone there, looking bored.' Victory pointed at Tierbici sitting in a corner and said.

Qin Ge nodded, 'Go ahead—I'll come find you two after I'm done.'

'Alright, then I'll tell Tierbici this news—I believe she'll be happy to hear it.' Victory said with a smile, waved at Qin Ge and Fearless, then headed toward Tierbici.

'Suddenly I feel Tierbici is really Victory's match—you need to work hard, commander. Like this, you won't win Victory's heart.' Fearless looked at Victory's back and suddenly said to Qin Ge.

'You really can imagine.' Qin Ge was speechless, 'Alright, I'm going to get busy—what about you?'

'Find a place to sit and try a little dessert.' Fearless said.

'But I've heard that people who often eat sweets tend to gain weight.' Qin Ge said with a smile, 'So try to keep it under control.'

'I'll bite you!' Fearless bared their teeth and claws, ready to pounce.

Qin Ge hurriedly said, 'Guanghui, you've come?'

In an instant, Fearless, who had been baring teeth and claws, instantly calmed down, smoothed their hair, and turned toward the direction Qin Ge was looking.

But Fearless found nobody there.

Fearless immediately realized what was going on, turned around, and saw that Qin Ge had already walked away.

'Hmph!'
