Chapter 167 Do you want to see the “stars”?
"Mr. Marshal, this is a gift."
Tong Wanwan took out a beautifully packaged box from the storage space and handed it to Elvis.
She cut and pasted the colored paper on the packaging box herself, and drew a cute little lion on it.
Although the gift is not expensive, it shows the thoughtfulness.
"Thank you." After taking it, Ives handed her a small box in return, "A gift in return."
The small box that Mr. Marshal gave in return looked more like some precious jewelry box.
Tong Wanwan curled her fingers hesitantly, not knowing whether she should take it.
"It's not expensive." Elvis explained, "It's an auxiliary tool that can conceal your mental power. It's very useful for you now."
Hiding her mental power... In other words, when she uses her mental power, others will be able to detect it?
Tong Wanwan lowered her head and opened the small box. Inside was a beautiful, thin bracelet. If you didn't look closely, it would be easy to overlook it. But when you noticed it, you would find that it shimmered with tiny golden lights in the light, which was very special.
"Let me try it on for you?" Elvis asked tentatively.
The mental power auxiliary equipment is easy to buy, but the accessories attached to it are carefully selected by him.
"Okay." Tong Wanwan's eyes never left the bracelet in the box. She felt it looked more and more beautiful the more she looked at it, and she couldn't bear to look away, her eyes filled with joy. "Thank you, Marshal, for the gift. I like it very much!"
"As long as you like it."
Elvis took off the bracelet and gently put it on her left hand.
In the process of fastening the bracelet, it was inevitable that the wrist would be touched.
In just two or three seconds, you can feel the warm and cool skin under your fingertips, which is smooth and delicate, and separates at the touch.
"Okay." Elvis breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and quickly lowered his hands to hang at his sides.
It's like a nerd who secretly did something bad on campus, but pretended to be reserved and serious, not wanting the girl he liked to find out.
Tong Wanwan couldn't help but raise her arm, then lowered her hand, letting the small gold chain fall between her wrist and the back of her hand.
She lowered her eyes to admire it, thinking it was stunning. But from Elvis's perspective, the gift had completely become a foil for the hand, making the back of the girl's hand look even thinner.
Under the bright light, the gold becomes brighter and the white becomes whiter.
"Oh, right," Tong Wanwan's eyes sparkled as she pointed to the knitted hat on her head and gestured to him, "Didn't Mr. Marshal say before that you wanted to wear it together?"
"Um."
Elvis turned his gaze back to the gift box given by the other party and began to unwrap it carefully.
The man even untied the bow ribbon on the box intactly and left it aside.
After opening the box, the man took the black imitation embroidered knitted hat in his hand, quickly glanced at Tong Wanwan's hat, put it on, and carefully adjusted it to an angle similar to hers.
He saw that the girl slowly opened her eyes, and without saying a word, she just stared at him in a daze.
Elvis hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it pretty?"
Not good-looking? How could it be possible? Tong Wanwan was shocked and shook her head violently, "Very handsome!"
She just rarely saw the Marshal in casual clothes instead of military uniform.
And inexplicably, seeing him wearing the gift she gave him, which was the same hat as hers, with such care and cherishment... Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel her face flushed.
Very handsome... huh?
Elvis coughed lightly and mentioned tonight's schedule, "Want to see the stars?"
"Stars?" Tong Wanwan was stunned.
Mr. Marshal wants to...ask her to see the night view tonight?
After hesitating for a moment between going home and watching the stars with Elvis, she nodded and accepted the silver-haired man's invitation.
"Where are we going to watch the stars tonight?"
"Keep it secret for now."
Tong Wanwan raised her eyebrows, her curiosity piqued. "So mysterious? Could it be the Marshal's..."
She paused, "A secret base or something?"
Secret base... Elvis lowered his eyes in thought, then nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Tong Wanwan: “!”
More and more interested.
She found that Mr. Marshal always gave her surprises.
Everyone else thought Elvis was out of reach, but she just thought he was romantic and interesting.
…
The time spent waiting for the secret to be revealed will make the anticipation of this feeling rise higher and higher.
However, after dinner, Elvis did not take her to the garage where the hover car was parked, but took her to the backyard.
Afterwards, he asked Tong Wanwan to stay where she was, while he walked forward a dozen steps, facing the open space, and opened the space button specially used to store private spaceships.
The next second, Tong Wanwan's eyes blurred and she saw a spaceship in the middle of the backyard.
This private spaceship is not very big, but it is not small either. It is more than enough to accommodate a few more people.
After boarding the spacecraft, Tong Wanwan was left with only amazement.
Hover cars are vehicles capable of mid-air and low-altitude driving, while aircraft are capable of both long-distance driving and aerial combat. Spaceships, however, are distinct from both. They can truly traverse space, allowing for earth-shattering cosmic adventures.
For this reason alone, Tong Wanwan is full of anticipation for this journey.
Moreover, this spaceship is just like Mr. Marshal's exclusive mecha Silver Engine. At first glance, you will feel that it is a work of art that cannot be desecrated.
"Are you ready?"
"……alright!"
Even after the spacecraft left the Federation star and flew along the space orbit at the speed of light for a long time, she was still in a dazed, confused and excited state.
Through the window hatch, Tong Wanwan saw for the first time the beautiful scenery of the universe that was as bright as the Milky Way.
She saw scattered or dense golden-blue dots of light, as well as a large red cotton-candy-like nebula. They were all very far away, yet seemed within reach.
"So beautiful." Tong Wanwan stood by the window cabin and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah." Elvis set the car to autopilot and stood beside her.
"Mr. Marshal," Tong Wanwan asked, "Do you ever get tired of seeing these views?"
She was just a little confused: Mr. Marshal's work requires him to frequently travel to other planets by spaceship. But... wouldn't he get tired of flying back and forth so many times in space?
"No." Elvis frowned and said softly.
Not only did he not feel bored, but he felt extremely satisfied when the girl boarded his spaceship, stood beside him, and looked out of the window together.
Involuntarily...
I remembered the first time I saw Tong Wanwan's appearance in the moonlight in her backyard.
At that time, Elvis felt from the bottom of his heart——
The girl's gorgeous and brilliant black eyes condense the most beautiful colors that can be extracted from the entire universe.
Love at first sight.
