Chapter 354 Finale

Since then, Lan Ximeng has carefully planned her life. In a year, she takes three months to rest, relax and enjoy the comfort of life; and then spends two months to devote herself to work, skillfully integrating the rich and colorful gaming culture of Blue Star into the interstellar world, and cultivating dazzling "flowers of creativity" in this vast universe. Her works are deeply loved by StarCraft players. Each of her games is like a bright star, shining a unique light in the gaming field.

On this day, Lan Yuncheng held his young son in his arms, watching his sister Lan Ximeng clinging to his wife Lu Lige like a lazy kitten, enjoying Lu Lige's feeding. That look was completely different from the past when Lan Yuncheng was on high alert, fearing that his sister would get married early. He couldn't help but ask, "When are you planning to get married?"

Lan Ximeng opened her mouth and ate the food handed to her by Lu Lige contentedly. She had no intention of answering Lan Yuncheng's question at all, as if she was immersed in this rare leisure time and couldn't extricate herself.

Lu Lige glanced at Lan Yuncheng and said gently, "Xiao Mengxiang can get married whenever she wants. They are still young, so there is no need to rush."

"Young?" Lan Yuncheng rolled his eyes and complained in his heart, he is almost 60 years old, how can he be considered young? But seeing his sister looking so carefree, he could only smile helplessly.

At this time, Lan Guoqiang walked out of the kitchen with the carefully prepared meal in his hands, and shouted to the people in the living room: "It's time to eat!"

"Coming!" Everyone responded, and for a moment, a warm atmosphere filled the entire room.

A family of six sat around the dining table, the aroma of food wafting in the air. While enjoying the delicious food, everyone was enthusiastically discussing what had happened in the past few days.

"Our retirement application has been rejected again." Chen Chuntao frowned slightly, with a hint of frustration in her tone. She is now a grandmother, and she longs to enjoy a leisurely retirement life as soon as possible, but this wish always seems out of reach.

"Why? Is it because Uncle Liu refuses to let us go?" Lan Ximeng picked up a piece of fresh shrimp meat, put it in her mouth, and asked puzzledly while chewing.

Lan Guoqiang could not help but sigh and said helplessly: "Yes, he said that I have not reached the prescribed retirement age and he will not allow me to retire." Seeing that his son has now established a firm foothold in his career and is able to protect his family, he and Chen Chuntao are looking forward to retiring and enjoying the tranquility and beauty of life, but the reality is not satisfactory.

"Why don't you just quit?" Lan Yuncheng said as he quickly caught the meat his son spit out, then picked up a tissue and carefully wiped his son's greasy little hands.

"Hiss, that's a good idea. I'll try it next time!" Lan Guoqiang's eyes lit up. He had never thought about it in this regard before. After his son's reminder, he seemed to see hope for retirement.

“Ahh!” Lan Mingzhao waved his chubby little hands, pointed at the shrimp meat not far away, and shouted in a baby voice: “Meat!”

"Okay, here you go." Lan Yuncheng picked up a small piece of shrimp meat and gently placed it in Lan Mingzhao's little hand. The little guy immediately started to chew it happily, looking very cute.

"It seems like I haven't seen Xiaoyu for a while. Has he not returned from the mission yet?" Chen Chuntao looked at her heartless daughter and asked with concern.

Lan Ximeng nodded and replied, "Yes, his mission this time is very difficult, and it will probably take a few months for him to come back."

"Aren't you worried?" Lan Guoqiang was very satisfied with his son-in-law. However, looking at his daughter's calm expression, he couldn't help wondering if the two of them were having a conflict.

"Don't worry." Lan Ximeng shook her head, then took out a mysterious black ball from her shadow and explained, "With this thing, I can always know if he's okay."

"It's good that you know what's going on." Although Lan Guoqiang didn't quite understand the function of the black ball, he felt relieved when he saw his daughter was so confident.

After a warm dinner, Lan Ximeng curled up on the sofa as usual, watching the TV series with relish and immersed in the wonderful plot. Lan Guoqiang and Chen Chuntao took little Lan Mingzhao and Liuliu out for a walk, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the night while helping them digest their food. Lan Yuncheng and Lu Lige also took the opportunity to go out and enjoy their long-lost time together as a couple, leaving Lan Ximeng alone at home.

Just as Lan Ximeng was watching with fascination, the villa suddenly became dark, all the lights went out instantly, and there was dead silence.

"What's going on?" Lan Ximeng shouted a few times subconsciously, trying to call the robot at home, but got no response. She got up from the sofa puzzled and decided to go to the power room to check the situation. After she had taken a few steps, a faint light suddenly flashed in the darkness, becoming brighter and brighter, gradually enlarging in front of her eyes.

Lan Ximeng instinctively wanted to use her supernatural powers for defense, but at this moment, she keenly sensed a familiar breath. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and she waited quietly for the other party's next move.

The dim light slowly condensed and gradually transformed into a human figure. The next second, Wei Huaiyu's familiar figure appeared in front of Lan Ximeng. He gazed at Lan Ximeng affectionately, his eyes filled with endless love. Then, he knelt on one knee, carefully took out an exquisite box from his arms, and slowly opened it. A dazzling ring exuded charming light under the dim light. He looked at Lan Ximeng, his voice trembling slightly, and said affectionately: "Mengmeng, will you marry me?"

Lan Ximeng's eyes had already narrowed into crescent shapes from smiling at this moment, and the joy in her heart surged like a tide. She nodded vigorously, "I do!"

Wei Huaiyu gently picked up the ring and put it tenderly on Lan Ximeng's finger. Then, the two hugged each other tightly, and in this dark room, their heartbeats intertwined, telling of endless love and happiness.

Lan Ximeng and Wei Huaiyu did not have a wedding, but embarked on a special journey. Wherever they went, public security improved significantly and many criminals were easily dealt with. This journey was full of romance and justice.

Time flies, and decades later, the children of Lan Yuncheng and Lan Ximeng have grown up. Three couples - Lan Guoqiang and Chen Chuntao, Lan Yuncheng and Lu Lige, Lan Ximeng and Wei Huaiyu - decided to leave their children behind and go camping in the forest. The two single brothers of the Bai family also joined them.

Lan Guoqiang lamented that he traveled to the future because of camping many years ago, and now he can complete the camping in the future. The reason for traveling through time has long been forgotten over the years.

In the forest, the sun shone through the branches and leaves, casting spots of light. They set up tents, lit a bonfire, and sat around sharing their past experiences. Lan Yuncheng and his wife recalled their parenting experiences, Lan Ximeng and his wife talked about their travel adventures, and Lan Guoqiang and his wife listened with a smile.

At night, with the stars shining, they lay on the grass and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Although the two brothers of the Bai family are single, they also feel the warmth of home in this atmosphere. They have long since let go of the influence brought by Baizhu, and they are now enjoying the present moment more.

This camping trip is a review of the past and an expectation for the future. As long as family members are with us, we can move forward happily without fear of the future.
