Chapter 97: The Oath on Maple Leaves (Ecstasy)
In a moment...
No, it should take more than a moment.
Perhaps there was something wrong with Yang Ren's perception, or perhaps time had really passed for a long time, a full two minutes.
Just as the sticky and wet touch disappeared, their lips and tongues separated from each other.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Claire's red face.
The three-dimensional and youthful facial features, coupled with the large blush, are really as cute as can be.
Releasing her hands that were pressing on Yang Ren, Claire turned over deftly and lay down in Yang Ren's arms, which were still open.
With his bent arms straightened and his legs naturally spread out, Yang Ren also spread out in the shape of a "big" character on the pile of maple leaves.
Silently feeling the breeze by the lake, the softness beneath my body, and the warmth beside me.
Occasionally maple leaves fell on Yang Ren, but he had no intention of brushing them away.
"Claire..."
After a moment of peace, Yang Ren decided to ask the question he wanted to know in the mother nest.
"Hmm~?"
Claire responded softly.
She raised her head slightly and met Yang Ren's light blue eyes.
But, it seems a little confused?
"If... I mean if..."
"One day in the future, I will no longer be myself, or...I will become a monster..."
"Will you still love me like this?"
To be honest, he was looking forward to the answer to this question, but he was also afraid of what horrible answer Claire would give.
Hearing this, Claire did not answer immediately.
She just lay down again and placed one hand gently on Yang Ren's chest, in front of his beating heart.
Silently feeling the hot and surging heartbeat, as if it contained endless warmth and strength.
Recalling the experiments done in the western area of the mother nest, Claire also knew what Yang Ren meant by this.
"If you are really changed by those viruses one day..."
"Then I'll become like that too."
Claire's answer shocked Yang Ren.
Damn! This answer is too scary!
"That won't do!"
Yang Ren immediately retorted, his tone full of unquestionable and even excited tone.
"I do not care."
As if she had anticipated Yang Ren's reaction, Claire spoke before he could continue.
Yang Ren immediately fell silent.
"If you become like that, Chris will hunt me down to the ends of the earth!"
Yang Ren couldn't bear to blame Claire, so he finally changed his tone and said it in a more tactful and humorous way.
When I think of the scene where Chris chased me all over the world because I had sex with Claire...
That's hell.
"Puchi-"
Sure enough, when Claire heard this, she immediately laughed out loud.
"Based on my cheap brother's ability, how could he possibly beat you~?"
"But... don't be afraid, Darling~, that day will never come..."
Claire's soothing voice calmed Yang Ren down again.
I hope that day will never come.
"By the way... when did you learn to say the word Darling?"
Changing the topic, Yang Ren asked softly.
Darling, meaning dear, is usually used to address one's significant other, but is mostly used in British English environments.
"I learned it from Aisha~"
Claire replied with a proud look on her face.
"what?"
That little girl Aisha also taught Claire this kind of thing? Why didn't I realize she was so sinister before...?
But...it's actually pretty good, hehe~
"That sounds so nice, doesn't it?"
Claire's palm that was on Yang Ren's chest changed to an index finger that pointed at his chest, drawing circles on it.
"So...Darling~when are we getting married?"
These words were like a flash of lightning across the night sky, causing Yang Ren's brain to temporarily freeze for a moment.
Does this count as...taking the initiative to propose marriage?
Yang Ren did not respond immediately.
Because even he himself is not sure...whether he should get married or not.
Various domestic situations in later generations made him strongly opposed to the idea of marriage.
But it's not like he hasn't thought about marrying Claire...
But... there is still a long way to go, and the threat of biological terrorism will not end in the short term.
Just the Simmons who has already appeared is not someone he can contend with now.
Not to mention that there are many powerful black hands hiding behind the scenes who have not even surfaced.
The enemy's strength is far beyond what TerraSave can currently match.
If I get married... and have children in the future, will I be able to stay with Claire forever?
The tingling sensation in his chest disturbed his thoughts a little, but he also enjoyed it a bit.
"I also want to marry you, but the current situation is too dangerous..."
"We still have many difficulties to face, and I don't want you to get hurt..."
Yang Ren came back to his senses, held Claire's hand that was drawing circles with one hand, and gently stroked Claire's soft hair with the other hand and said.
"I am not afraid of danger! I believe we can overcome all difficulties!"
Claire raised her head, stared into Yang Ren's eyes, and spoke in a firm tone.
"Besides, I'm also very strong, okay?"
Seeing Claire clenching her fists and looking strong, Yang Ren couldn't help but smile.
Yeah...Claire isn't afraid, so why should I be afraid?
Now we not only have the TG+Veronica+NE-a Chase, but also Darren whose potential has yet to be tapped.
Shirley, who has merged with the G virus, and Manuela, who has not yet fully merged with the Veronica virus, will also continue to grow.
The scale of rapid reaction forces will continue to grow in the future.
What's more, they are not fighting alone now. TerraSave has the support of the President and Vice President of the United States.
There is even support from a mysterious Eastern superpower.
Chris, Steve, Jill... as well as Leon and Elliot are all moving forward firmly on the anti-biochemical path.
If that’s the case, what should I be afraid of?
Everyone for me, and I for everyone!
"Once we have completely destroyed the umbrella...we will get married!"
After thinking for a while, Yang Ren finally made up his mind and gave a rough deadline.
"Then swear~!"
Yang Ren looked down and saw Claire staring straight into his eyes.
The same beautiful light blue eyes, the delicate and innocent little face is full of anticipation.
Without any hesitation, Yang Ren gently broke free from Claire's restraints and stood up.
He walked a few steps to the lakeside, raised three fingers, bent his thumb and pinky finger, raised his head slightly, and swore to the sky with a serious face:
"I...I, Yang Ren, swear to heaven! I will definitely marry my little Claire in the near future!"
"I swear that I will accompany her throughout her life. I will treat her well forever, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until the end of this world!"
"I would never betray my little Claire!"
"If you can't do it...God will strike you!"
I originally wanted to swear by the name Nicholas Yang, but when I think about it carefully, is he... really him?
Quite contradictory, isn't it?
Boom——!
As soon as the oath was uttered, a heavy thunder was heard in the distant sky.
who is it? !
Which unknown human being made such a vow?
Let me treat it!
"Look, even God doesn't believe you~"
Claire's words were full of joking, but her face was full of an uncontrollable smile.
After saying that, she also came to the lake, stood beside Yang Ren, and stretched out her hand to gently hold his neck.
"Yang Ren...is that your nickname?"
Claire, with her forehead pressed against the other's, suddenly called out softly.
"That's it."
Yang Ren responded softly.
This nickname...? It's the first time I heard it...
It seems to be a purely Chinese name…?
Behind the two of them was Jerry, who already had a dazed look on his face.
From its perspective, behind the two people is the cloudless blue sky and the sparkling lake.
Along with the endless red maple leaves, one or two would occasionally fall from the sky.
Claire put one foot in front and the other behind, put her arms around Yang Ren's neck, raised the foot behind slightly, and slowly raised her head.
Yang Ren took a step forward, put his arms around Claire's waist, and slowly lowered his head.
Their foreheads were pressed tightly together, and the tips of their noses were slightly scratching each other.
After closing your eyes, with a smile on your face, you gently kiss the other person's lips.
This scene...oh my god, I wish I had a camera.
What a pity I am a rat.
