Chapter 766: A Date with Zala

Zala, are you sure you won't insist on taking a bath like Weineituo?

One day, Qin Ge walked down the street and asked Zala beside him.

Hehe, it seems Weineituo left a deep impression on the commander yesterday; sure enough, she dragged you to take a bath, right? Zala said with a smile.

Qin Ge blushed and nodded. "That's right; even to go take a bath, she skipped the process of giving the ring."

Hehe, as expected, truly worthy of Weineituo? Zala said with a smile, "But if the commander wants to go take a bath with me, I can agree to that."

Qin Ge's face stiffened. "Never mind; although bathing with you is indeed wonderful, it's also somewhat agonizing. Let's just have a normal date—so, where would you like to go? I'll take you there."

Zala chuckled. "This is something the commander should consider; today you're taking me out on a date, not me taking you out. If the commander hasn't prepared anything, then I'd be a bit disappointed."

Of course I'm prepared, but after yesterday's incident with my Neituo, I can't quite figure out your tempers, so it's best to ask; if possible, going out to play together is also a good option." Qin Ge smiled. "The most important thing is to make you happy; I don't mind either way.

It's a rare chance to be alone; how can we treat it lightly? So let the commander arrange it. I'm fine with anything, after all we know each other so well—I'm sure we'll find common ground." Zala said.

Well, since that's the case, let's stroll around the area and then sit in a café to chat; I have a lot I want to tell you." Qin Ge smiled.

Same here; I also have a lot I want to tell the commander." Zala said with a smile.

Although we were just strolling outside, we walked for a long time before stopping at a park.

Let's rest here on this bench for a while; we've walked so long, Zala must be tired too." Qin Ge laughed.

I'm not too tired, but if I can sit here with the commander, that would also be quite nice." Zala said with a smile.

The two then sat on the bench; the surroundings are tranquil, with few passersby, making it a very suitable spot for resting and dating.

How do you feel about the Sardinian Empire, commander?" Zala asked with a smile.

How to put it? It's also a culturally splendid country; I quite like the architectural style here, and most importantly, Zala, you've left your mark as a warship in this place." Qin Ge smiled.

The commander's words are truly pleasant; you must have practiced a lot. I remember when I first arrived at Gangqu, the commander back then was completely clueless about feelings—a wooden block~

Haha, please forgive me for saying this, but the commander back then was really somewhat slow. I noticed many people in Gangqu had affection for you, yet you gave no response at all; even those who did respond were only a few. Back then I was worried, but seeing you now, I suddenly miss the old you—what's going on?" Zala said with a smile.

Ah, I didn't realize I used to be like that in your heart." Qin Feigned dejection, "So between the present me and the past me, which do you like best?"

Of course it's the present you, because although I miss the past you, back then we were just a normal commander and warship relationship, but now it's different—the commander asked me out alone, and my feelings for the commander need no more words." Zala said.

Yeah, after all we've been through, we're no longer the kind of relationship we had when we first met." Qin Ge smiled nostalgically, "So, what about me attracts you most?"

What attracts me most?" Zala smiled. "Of course it's your fearless courage and your care for everyone. The commander is truly not easy—I can understand that.

Just like promising everyone to dance with each person at the banquet—that's no small matter; it shows the commander's equal treatment of everyone.

I understand all your thoughts, so if I had to say what I like most, it would be these."

I suddenly feel moved, but this really is a nice place." Qin Ge smiled.

Ala, are you preparing to give me something here, commander?" Zala blinked her eyes.

Is that not okay?" Qin Ge asked.

Of course it's fine, or rather, not having that thing is also fine." Zala smiled. "Didn't I just say that I and the commander no longer need many words? Being able to chat together like this without reservations already satisfies me.

Qin Ge shook his head, took out from his pocket the small box containing the Oath Ring, opened it to reveal the Oath Ring glowing with light.

Taking the ring out and holding it in his hand, he looked at Zala and smiled: "Even though you said that, I still must put this ring on you. It symbolizes our oath and serves as proof of our relationship."

I think that even if one day we are far apart, when you think of me you can extend your left hand, look at the ring on your ring finger, and you will surely remember my appearance in your heart.

I always feel your words are a bit sad, commander; don't worry, even without this, I won't easily leave your side." Zala said.

Qin Ge smiled, took Zala's left hand, knelt on one knee, and personally placed the Oath Ring onto her left hand.

This isn't a matter of feeling secure; it's my proof to you.

Zala looked at the Oath Ring on her finger and laughed: "I've received your feelings, commander; it's beautiful, I like it."

That's good if you like it.

Qin Ge had just stood up when Zala suddenly embraced him. Seeing Zala's face flushed, she said to Qin Ge: "Since the commander gave me something so precious, as a return gift I will likewise give the commander something precious."

After saying that, Zala suddenly kissed Qin Ge's lips. Time seemed to freeze at that moment; the noise on the surrounding streets vanished completely, and the whole world seemed to contain only the two of them.

After a long while, they reluctantly parted; Qin Ge looked at Zala's flushed face and smiled: "Indeed, it's a very precious thing; I have also received your feelings."

Hehe, then commander, have you rested enough? Let's change locations to talk; a more romantic place." Zala said.

Of course.
