Chapter 24
Xiaohua now deeply realizes that showing off affection in a blatant manner will bring retribution.
The news that "Lin Ling took her boyfriend to reminisce about the past" was known to everyone in the Seventh Base in an instant, and immediately became the focus of everyone's gossip.
Whenever Xiaohua walked alone on the street, many people would come to ask her in a roundabout way when the two of them would hold their wedding, and told her not to forget to invite them, etc. This made Xiaohua afraid to go out.
Lin Ling looked at the people on the street staring at him eagerly, and he couldn't bring himself to say "keep everything simple".
Of course, if he had Shen Yuan with him, the situation would be much better. Shen Yuan would give them a cold look, and everyone would automatically back away, and few would dare to touch him.
Lin Ling looked at Shi Changyuan's face gloomy, and his aura was immediately apparent. No one could approach him within ten steps. It was the first time that she envied such an ability.
If only he could be like this. Xiaohua ran to the bathroom mirror, rubbed her face, and tried to droop the corners of her eyes and mouth, creating the illusion of "I am fierce" and "I am not easy to mess with".
But no matter how hard Xiaohua tried, she couldn't achieve the same effect as the Abyss.
"So annoying." Xiaohua lay back on the couch and rested her head on Shenyuan's legs.
Xiaohua never imagined that as a non-human, even though she already has a partner, she would be urged to get married one day.
Although this urging for marriage is urging for the wedding.
"No problem, let's go back to the abyss and take shelter." Shi Changyuan tentatively proposed a solution, which was immediately agreed by Lin Ling.
He suddenly felt that it would be good to live in a quieter environment. A quieter environment would eliminate so many social worries.
When Lin Ling thought of this, he punched the sofa fiercely.
Damn it, why do young girls have to learn how to socialize these days?
Blame him for being too attached to the fireworks of the world. Now that marriage is upon him, Xiaohua suddenly feels that he doesn't need such a heavy atmosphere of fireworks.
——No, I have to run!
As soon as Lin Ling left, Lu Jiajia came to find him.
"Lin Ling has completely fled. He has probably taken refuge in the abyss."
Lu Jiajia took the wedding plan that everyone had discussed and originally wanted to ask Xiaohua for her opinion, but when she looked at the empty villa, she calmly turned back to the crowd and continued to perfect the wedding plan.
Alas, originally Xiaohua still had some say in this wedding, but now, the minority can only obey the majority.
In Lu Jiajia's plan, the banquet invited all the people of the Seventh Base, but the top leaders of the Seventh Base meant that they couldn't just think about themselves, and all nine human bases had to send people to participate.
After all, the abyss is a world-class abyss, and it was retained by their Seventh Base to establish diplomatic relations and resolve a world-class crisis. Shouldn’t the other bases show some respect?
The noise was so loud that Xiaohua could hear it even in the abyss.
He was surprised. Why was there no newlyweds at this wedding? All the newlyweds had run away. How could such a wedding still be held?
Shi Changyuan smiled and explained, "In fact, humans just want an excuse to have fun. We are not important."
"As for the base, they want to receive the gift money." Shenyuan guessed, "They will give half to Xiaohua, don't worry."
"I'm not worried about that." Xiaohua just felt a headache. He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said expectantly, "Otherwise, let's 'escape'!"
"We're running away from our marriage to travel around the world! We're not bringing humans along with us!"
After Xiaohua finished speaking, she looked towards the abyss, waiting for his reply.
Shi Changyuan smiled and kissed Xiaohua's eyes. "Since you look at me like this, how can I disagree?"
"Call Mo Cheng now and we'll leave immediately."
So Mo Cheng was in a meeting, preparing to finalize the invitation letter, when he received a call from Xiaohua.
"Hey, hey, hey? Sister Mo, I'm telling you I'm going to run away from my marriage and travel around the world! While traveling around the world, I might just find a random place to hold my wedding, so you don't need to worry so much."
"Don't worry, I will send you beautiful scenery photos!"
After saying that, Xiaohua hung up the call.
Mo Cheng's device was loudspeaker-controlled, and everyone in the conference room immediately heard the news. Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and then changed the title of the meeting very skillfully.
"Notify the logistics department that they don't need to prepare as many cakes as possible. As for the other nine bases, we'll just invite them first and tell them that our newlyweds are on their honeymoon."
"Oh, yes, let's use the two signs of Xiaohua and Shenyuan instead. We can't let people come all the way here without knowing what we new people look like."
"Marriage certificate? We still need it. Even though the marriage system has collapsed, it's a commemoration. We can give one to everyone."
Over at the wicked base, preparations for the wedding with two signboards were in full swing, and Mo Cheng and Lu Jiajia would occasionally receive landscape photos sent by Lin Ling and Shi Changyuan.
Since the end of the world, human activity areas have shrunk sharply, and many places are still areas that humans cannot explore, such as the once extremely dangerous rainforests, Gobi deserts, and oceans full of dangers.
The emergence of mutants has turned these places into mysterious forbidden areas.
Well, now it has become a landscape of small flowers and abysses.
But unfortunately, Lu Jiajia and Mo Cheng could only receive copies of the photos, and the original versions were sent directly to the human laboratory.
It is said that the photos may contain various microorganisms, which are extremely valuable for research. This will be a great milestone for humans to return to the top of the biological chain.
Came to the wedding, but could only see nine base representatives on the stand: ...well, they forgave the Seventh Base for what it did.
After all, the love between these two people is really a good one, which is a blessing to mankind! On behalf of all mankind, they wish the couple a long and happy marriage.
They also want to present a Great Contribution Award to Xiaohua and Shenyuan, two non-humans.
…
"Hahahahaha, they are so outrageous."
Xiaohua received a text message complaining from Lu Jiajia. When she saw the two human-shaped standees, she laughed so hard that she fell off the tree and landed in the arms of the abyss.
"careful."
Shi Changyuan was helpless, as they were about to leave the forest, and Xiaohua suddenly said that she wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping on a tree trunk and basking in the sun. Shenyuan would not reject Xiaohua, he would just be prepared at any time for Xiaohua to fall from above and into his arms.
As soon as Lin Ling fell into Shi Changyuan's arms, he was immediately hugged tightly.
"We agreed that if you fall down, you are not allowed to come up."
Lin Ling kissed the tip of Shi Changyuan's nose and said, "Well, I'm not some dishonest little flower."
"Let's go to the next stop."
The two of them were moving in the same direction, so the further they walked, the colder the weather became. Xiaohua had to change into a thick down jacket, which looked a bit cumbersome.
"Hey, hey, the little white flower has turned into an edelweiss flower!"
Lin Ling happily raised her hand towards Shi Changyuan, showing off her round and curly outfit, and asked, "Does it look like it?"
Shenyuan chuckled, picked up Lin Ling, and answered irrelevantly, "Yeah, cute."
"snort."
Xiaohua looked at the Abyss in front of her, who was still wearing a long tweed coat and looked extremely handsome. She felt extremely unbalanced. How could a creature like the Abyss be so immune to both cold and heat?
He was going to be jealous.
"Wear it with Lingling." Shi Changyuan took out another down jacket from the abyss space that looked like a couple's style for Lin Ling and put it on, and then put a scarf around her.
Continuing to move forward, most of the area was already completely covered with ice and snow. Xiaohua and Shenyuan were mainly focused on having fun, so they just walked wherever they went, not knowing where they were.
This place is so remote that there is absolutely no sign of human activity within a few hundred miles.
Maybe there is mostly ocean here, and the continent is in a fragmented state. It seems that the movement of the earth's crust is very serious.
"Hey, there's a building up ahead. Is it a human base?"
Xiaohua saw a huge human-made building from a long distance away. Shenyuan teleported over with Xiaohua in his arms, only to find that it was just a ruin.
It looked like a church, only half of it had collapsed.
"The church can be used to hold weddings." Xiaohua rubbed her hands.
This is a ruin, but there is almost no grass growing here. It is covered with ice and snow and looks very desolate. Only the huge stained glass window adds a touch of color to this place.
It seems strange, but also wonderful.
"Xiaohua, do you want to hold your wedding here?" Shenyuan asked.
Along the way, they encountered other church buildings or other things, but Xiaohua was not satisfied with any of them.
He said that he always felt that there was a lack of a flavor that was unique to them.
To be precise, it lacks the flavor of the abyss, because the feeling of Xiaohua is still easy to find. The sunshine, the grass, and the sea of flowers all carry the warm feeling of Xiaohua.
But Lin Ling said that all the places they lived in before were decorated according to Xiaohua's temperament, such as the villa prepared for them by humans, and the interior of the abyss that he was allowed to decorate.
Now, he wants a wedding with the abyss.
Shi Changyuan didn't know what kind of atmosphere that was, but he listened to Xiaohua in everything.
Lin Ling heard Shen Yuan's question, looked up at the sky, and just curled his eyes and said mysteriously, "We have to take a look first."
After a while, it got dark. Since Lin Ling had no intention of looking for a human base, the two of them had to prepare to spend the night in this church.
Shi Changyuan was building a warm tent, while Xiaohua was sneaking around outside the church, thinking about something.
Then he heard Xiaohua's scream outside.
Shi Changyuan almost teleported over immediately and appeared beside Lin Ling. The next second, he was stunned.
A brilliant bright color appeared in the dark sky, crossing the entire starry sky, beautiful and dreamy.
Ancient, mysterious, dangerous, yet dazzling.
It's the Aurora.
His little flower stood in front of him, humming the wedding march. Every time it got a little closer to him, little white flowers bloomed on the ground, as if injecting vitality and vigor into the ice field.
Shi Changyuan suddenly understood what kind of feeling his little flower was looking for.
Lin Ling walked up to him, saluted like a gentleman, then blinked at him and reminded him.
"It's time for the newcomers to enter."
