Chapter 808: Guided by Dreams
Actually, after Wuzang left for the research main island, Qin Ge's Secretary Ship was temporarily taken over by Tiancheng.
Regarding this decision, Qin Ge also had some doubts; logically, Tiancheng should have gone together with Wuzang, so why would she stay behind as his Secretary Ship?
After asking this question, Tiancheng chuckled, "Because they don't know how many days this trip to the experimental field will take; if I miss the day the lord distributes the rings, wouldn't I be at a great loss?"
Qin Ge rolled his eyes, "How have you also learned to be bad? You always have something to say, teasing me even when there's nothing. Moreover, the matter of the rings already has one for you; even if you're no longer in Gangqu, I would still keep it for you."
"Hehe, I understand the lord's meaning, but I always hope to receive the lord's affection sooner." Tiancheng said with a smile, though the blush on her face gave away her feelings.
Qin Ge smiled helplessly, "You, well, then how about this afternoon? Anyway, there's not much work left, so I'll keep you company for a stroll."
"Then who was the lord originally planning to meet today?" Tiancheng asked.
"If you were to leave, I would go see Xinong today, but since you haven't left, today it's your turn." Qin Ge said.
"Oh, Lady Xinong? Indeed, I've seen her less lately; usually she's probably just sleeping." Tiancheng asked.
Qin Ge nodded, "I've seen her once before; it seems she's been sleeping more than before lately, so I want to take this opportunity to invite her out for a walk."
Tiancheng nodded, "In that case, my lord, you might as well go see Lady Xinong today; we've been together for a long time, but Lady Xinong, ever since she stopped sleeping in your chambers, seems to spend little time with you."
Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "It's not for that reason; it's just that Xinong's personality is more quiet, and we're quite familiar with each other, and besides, a series of previous events have kept me tied up, and I still have to look after the others in Gangqu, so..."
"But after all, it's still my fault; I should apologize today, or perhaps as you said, I should go find her and have a good talk."
"My lord actually doesn't need to apologize; compared to others, I'm much happier, at the very least I can see you every day and hear your voice here every day."
"Many people perhaps haven't had a proper chat with you in a long time; compared to that, I don't even know how good I have it." Tiancheng said with a smile.
Qin Ge gave a light cough, "I feel like your words make me seem like an unfaithful man; well, then let's decide this: after I'm free at noon, I'll go find Xinong, and perhaps spending a quiet day with her can also ease my mind."
"Hmm."
Since the date's partner for today has been decided, after Qin Ge finished his own work he left the office, handed the remaining work to Tiancheng to handle, and himself went to where Xinong was.
The place where Xinong has always resided is actually a Japanese-style building not far from Zhongying Cottage. Besides being Xinong's residence, it is also a gathering place for destroyers that like to sleep during the day.
After all, being able to rest one's head on a fox tail while sleeping is simply too perfect.
When Qin Ge arrived, he found that only Xinong was inside the house, with no one else present. This relieved him, as he had originally prepared to explain things for a long time if others were there; having only Xinong around was truly great.
After taking off his shoes at the door, he gently walked to the sleeping Xinong's side. Looking at her sleeping face, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile and poked her cheek with his finger.
"Mmm..." Xinong slowly opened her eyes; upon seeing that the person before her was Qin Ge, she instinctively propped herself up and then rubbed her eyes with her hand.
"Commander? Sorry, I fell asleep again... I'm very sorry."
Qin Ge smiled and stroked her head, "It's fine; I also came uninvited, perhaps I should apologize to you, after all I disturbed your rest."
"It's fine." Xinong shook her head, then sat up straight and said to Qin Ge, "Commander, is there something you don't understand? Or do you need my help?"
Qin Ge shook his head, "Today I came to ask you to go on a date with me; I have something very important to tell you."
Xinong's eyes lit up noticeably, "Something that would make you this solemn must be the Oath Ceremony, right? I'm so glad you still remember me..."
Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "Cough, I definitely remember you, after all we've been together for a long time."
That sentence Qin Ge spoke was actually true; thinking back, after the first school year ended at the Commander Academy, he went with Bisimai's people to Sakura Empire, where he obtained Xinong, and calculating up to now it's been about three and a half years.
"Yes, recalling the experiences in Gangqu and at the Academy with you, they are all wonderful memories that make one smile... they have brought me a completely different life; now I can sleep anywhere at any time in Gangqu." Xinong smiled.
"Hehe, as long as you're happy, that's fine. So where are you planning to go on a date? To the seaside, or a forest path, or perhaps a place where none of them can find us?" Song Lin laughed.
Xinong gently shook her head, looking at Qin Ge with a serious expression, "Commander, why don't we enter the dream realm? There I have something I want to tell you."
"Dream realm... but if we're in the dream realm, how would I put a ring on you?" Qin Ge froze for a moment.
He had previously experienced Xinong's dream realm, so he could understand her meaning, but the dream realm is always virtual; if we enter the dream realm, how could he place the Oath Ring on Xinong?
"Commander, as long as my heart and yours are in tune, the oath represented by the Oath Ring will naturally be in our hearts." Xinong said.
"Hmm... but I'll first put the Oath Ring on you, then we'll enter your dream realm; I'm curious, this time where will you take me to see what fate?" Qin Ge smiled.
"That would be best." Xinong smiled.
Qin Ge took out the Oath Ring he carried with him and solemnly placed it on Xinong's hand; the two smiled at each other, then Xinong slowly closed her eyes, and Qin Ge immediately felt his eyelids grow heavy, his body involuntarily leaning into Xinong's embrace.
"Sleep, Commander; I will go with you to meet our fate..."
In a blur, when Qin Ge opened his eyes again, the scene before him was a starry sky. Brilliant stars surrounded him, and he suddenly felt this scene was very familiar; he had seen something like this before in Xinong's dream realm.
But back then, strangely, the Xinong that appeared before him was not his own Xinong.
"Qin Ge Commander, you have finally come here..."
