Chapter 999: The Utmost Honor

At night, Qin Ge finished work; originally, as usual, he should have returned to her room together with Guanghui.

However, since several leaders had returned, as the commander going to Guanghui's room at night would make people feel lax, he could only return to his own room.

However, when he opened the door and stepped into the room, a figure had already appeared in his room.

"Wuzang?"

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. Regarding the possibility of a shipgirl coming to his room at night, Qin Ge had actually already made some mental preparations.

"Hehe, it seems you're not too surprised that I came to your room; have you already made mental preparations?" Wuzang said with a smile.

Qin Ge waved his hand, "Do I still need to make mental preparations? Back when we were in Gangqu, my room wasn't some secret place; whether it was Guanghui or Xinong and the others, or other maids, they could come, and you guys have come quite a few times, so we're basically used to it."

Wuzang smiled and said, "Is that so?"

Qin Ge hung his clothes on the rack, turned to look at Wuzang, and said, "But if I count, you haven't come to my room that many times, and most of the time you came to look for Xinong."

"Hehe, it's not because she likes to run to your room to sleep." Wuzang recalled the days in Gangqu, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

"By the way, the commander's room hasn't been lived in for quite a while, right?"

Qin Ge blinked, "How did you figure that out?"

Although he rarely stays in his own room these days, basically someone tidies it up every day—whether it's the maid corps returning from the front line to the base, or some duty shipgirls here.

So even though the room has been empty for a long time, it still looks brand‑new.

But what surprised Qin Ge was that Wuzang could instantly tell that his room had been unoccupied for a long time.

Wuzang chuckled, then twitched his ears, "Don't forget, a fox's nose is still very keen; your room carries a trace of your aura, but unfortunately that aura is faint in this room—if you lived there often, it wouldn't be like this."

Although I can understand some of your actions, given the heavy workload now, you should still maintain your health and energy as much as possible.

Qin Ge involuntarily touched his nose, "Cough, my body is fine in every way; those things won't affect work. And you can probably tell, my condition is very good right now."

Wuzang laughed, stood up, walked to Qin Ge's side, and placed her hand on his chest. The strong, powerful beat traveled through her palm, making her smile grow even richer.

"It seems something has changed on your body that I don't know about—such a strong, powerful heartbeat, such a surging feeling. So what exactly is this all about, or is this your reliance?"

Qin Ge's eyes narrowed, "Well, even with such a body, it can't block shells, can it?"

"Hehe, that's hard to say. Since so many miracles have already occurred in your body, if danger arises and another miracle happens, I wouldn't feel surprised at all."

"What Yujin and the others said is very right—there are many possibilities in your body, and it's not impossible for such a possibility to happen." Wuzang said with a smile.

"So, what exactly are you not telling us? Or do you think we can't be trusted?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "I trust you, more than I trust anyone else."

"I can feel it, but why don't you confide in us? If you tell us what you know, perhaps all this could change, and it's not impossible." Wuzang said.

Qin Ge didn't answer directly, but instead grasped the hand Wuzang had placed on him, "Precisely because I trust you, I also ask you to trust me—I will do nothing that harms anyone, nor anything that harms this world."

"Everything has an endpoint, and I believe you'll see that endpoint soon. At that time, I can explain any of your doubts."

As he said this, he paused slightly, "Perhaps by then I won't need to explain it to you, after all I can already picture that scene."

Wuzang gave Qin Ge a deep look, "Since you've already said all that, there's no need for me to keep asking."

"But speaking of which, you're heading to the battlefield tomorrow, and I'm still missing something—don't you plan to give it to me?"

Qin Ge blinked slightly, looking at Wuzang's half‑smile, and unconsciously touched his nose, "Indeed, among the few faction leaders, you and Yixian are each missing something, but giving it to you now—wouldn't that be a bit too rushed?"

"In theory, we should find a sunny day, set aside a whole day for the two of us to go out, enjoy our private world. That would give it a sense of ceremony, so we wouldn't later look back and feel any regret."

Wuzang chuckled, "I've spent most of my time mourning the past, but the past is already past; using present time to memorialize it is truly wasteful."

"I intend to look forward, no matter what happens—whether it's feelings or future life. So if looking back at the past would leave me with regret, then it must be that my present life cannot satisfy me."

"I believe our future will definitely satisfy me, because it's always full of hope, right? And I also don't want to leave behind disappointment—if you don't give me what I want today, that would be the greatest regret."

Qin Ge rubbed his forehead, "Alright, you've convinced me."

Wuzang gave a faint smile, watched Qin Ge lower her hand, then turned and walked toward the cabinet.

He opened the cabinet, directing his gaze to the upper compartment where a delicate box lay. Qin Ge reached out, opened the box, and then took out a deep‑blue small case from inside.

"Is this it? Hehe, the thing those kids have been day‑and‑night thinking about." Wuzang said, looking at the small box in Qin Ge's hand.

"It's not that exaggerated..." Qin Ge scratched his head, reached out and opened the box in his hand. A ring appeared before the two of them, and in the room's light it sparkled with brilliant radiance.

"But I still have to ask—are you really ready?"

Looking at Qin Ge's solemn gaze, Wuzang chuckled lightly, "Since the moment I decided to protect you, I've known this day would come. Rather than waiting, it's better to take the initiative—I'm not a passive person."

"And right now, taking the most precious thing from you—isn't that the best encouragement for me?"

"Then, please become my marriage ship."

Qin Ge said this, kneeling on one knee with a hint of solemnity, looking at Wuzang before him.

"It is an honor, my commander—"
