Chapter 1073 Proposal Preparation
After talking about Sinoning, I remembered Chaska's original job as a mediator and asked about it.
"By the way, what about your original job as a mediator? You can't just be a temporary supervisor here forever, right?"
"If you're watching over the construction site and there's a conflict between those energetic and hot-tempered guys outside, and there's no one to mediate, it'll be troublesome."
When Chaska heard the adjective "energetic and hot-tempered", he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Why does it sound so familiar? Suddenly, I felt that the person Shao Yun was talking about was either like myself when I was a kid and loved to fight with others, or like Shao Yun himself.
She couldn't help but have a brief brainstorming in her mind, but finally suppressed these interesting associations and directly answered Shao Yun's question. After all, he was asking a serious question.
"Are you worried that no one will do the mediator's job? Actually, there's no need to worry too much." Chaska explained the current social environment in Nata in a relaxed tone.
"How could Nata have so many conflicts that need to be dealt with every day? We just defeated the abyss together not long ago. We have all experienced that difficult battle, so we especially cherish this hard-earned stable life now."
"Even if there are minor frictions, we will try to communicate properly first. It rarely gets to the point where a mediator is needed."
"It's so hard to live without fear, who would want to pick a fight for no reason?"
"Everyone is either busy rebuilding their homes or, like you, planning their future lives. They all hope to live a peaceful and stable life for a while."
Having said that, Chaska shrugged again and spoke his mind frankly.
"However, as for what will happen in the future, whether new conflicts will arise, I'm not sure. But at least for now, everyone is willing to put aside their disputes and enjoy the present peace. That's enough."
(Ying: Of course, it’s also my contribution!)
Shao Yun listened to her words and nodded deeply.
He could understand the feeling of cherishing the present. After all, he had also experienced ups and downs, and that was why he longed to settle down with his family in Nata.
The two of them started talking about more topics, no longer limited to the construction site and work. They began to chat about everything and the atmosphere became more relaxed and comfortable.
They talked about Kuike, Qimupu, the mother of Chaska's velvet pterosaur, Shao Yun's wife and children, and their future plans for settling in Nata.
……
The two chatted back and forth, talking about interesting things in the tribe and their future life, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
As they chatted, Shao Yun changed the topic and talked about Mavica again.
"By the way, Chaska, have you seen Mavica recently? I haven't seen her for a week. Could she have gone to Volu to train with Ianshan again?"
Shao Yun recalled the time when Mavica had a unilateral "date" with him and wrestled with the Ceratops.
When Chaska heard Shao Yun asking about Mavica, he guessed based on the fragmentary clues he had recently heard:
"He's probably not going to Vollu to find Ianshan. Lord Vulcan is most likely engaging in a routine battle with Fatui's executive officer, Captain Capitano, somewhere."
When Shao Yun heard that Mavica was fighting the Fatui executive officer "Captain" Capitano, the Fatui's main mission flashed through his mind: to seize the hearts of gods from various countries.
Previously, Nata was in chaos due to the abyss crisis, and the captain’s main goal was to save Nata.
But now that Nata's crisis has been resolved and the situation has gradually stabilized, Capitano will definitely not give up his goal of seizing the Heart of God.
He nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and said with a tone of understanding:
"Oh, I remember now. The captain's original purpose in coming to Nata was to get the Heart of God. He was delayed because of the Abyss. Now that the situation has stabilized, he probably wants to seize the Heart of God by fighting Mavica."
As he spoke, Shao Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself again.
"I thought Mavica would come to me for help when she encountered such a difficult matter involving the Fatui."
"I clearly told her before that if she encountered any problems that she couldn't solve, she could always come to me and I would definitely do my best to help, but she didn't even give me a message."
After listening to Shao Yun's words, Chaska lowered his head and thought for a moment, then based on his understanding of Mavica, he gave another possible reason.
"Perhaps, it's for the sake of fairness. Think about it, the 'Captain' didn't take advantage of Nata's crisis."
"Similarly, Mavica doesn't want to rely on the power of others to give the 'Captain' due fairness."
"Perhaps for her, this battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a respect for each other. She doesn't want outsiders to interfere and ruin this fair duel."
She paused, her eyes becoming more serious. “This is Mavica’s own choice. We have no right to interfere. We can only trust her decision.”
After saying that, Chaska put one hand on his waist again, a confident smile on his face, and said:
"However, I believe that Lady Kagami will not lose! Even if her opponent is a Fatui Executor, she is definitely capable of handling it!"
Shao Yun looked at Chaska's confident expression, nodded slightly, and agreed:
"Okay... You have a point. Regardless, I hope these two don't get hurt."
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun had a brief chat with Chaska and Kawi.
There was nothing that needed his help at the construction site for the time being, so he felt a little bored and planned to leave the construction site and go for a walk nearby to kill some time in the afternoon.
Before leaving the ranch, Shao Yun saw that the ranch was about to be completed, and he began to think about proposing to Ying...
There is no time to lose. How about I formally propose to Ying tomorrow?
……
As the night deepens, in the room of the House of Burnout in the Holy Flame Arena.
At this moment, Ying had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a loose white nightgown. Her hair was casually wiped half dry with a towel, with tiny water droplets still on the ends of her hair, and her cheeks were steamed pink by the hot water.
She was sitting on the bed with her legs bent and feet facing each other in a particularly cute "duck sitting" posture. In front of her were a bunch of photos taken with a camera. She looked at Shao Yun with sparkling eyes and said happily:
"Honey, come and look at the pictures I took today! Paimon, Xiaolong and I took so many beautiful pictures. The scenery is amazing!"
As she spoke, Ying immediately picked up the top photo and handed it to him, with a boastful look on her little face.
"Look at this! This is a photo Paimon and I took at the top of the colored rocks. The scenery is so, so beautiful!"
Shao Yun took the photo and saw that the colorful stone roof in the picture was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Ying made a big scissors hand gesture, blinked at the camera, and smiled brightly.
Paimon floated beside her, holding a freshly picked wildflower in his hand, his expression equally excited.
He couldn't help but ruffle Ying's hair and said with a smile: "It is indeed beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as beautiful as my wife."
Ying's cheeks turned even redder at his praise, but she couldn't help but continue sharing. She picked up another photo, pointed at the picture and excitedly introduced it.
"Oh right, and this! Look, this is the family of Velvet Pterosaurs we photographed! The big one is lying on the ground grooming the little one's feathers, and the little one is tilting its head to look at the camera. It's so cute!"
Shao Yun leaned over to take a look, and indeed captured a rare heartwarming scene.
The adult pterosaur carefully used its beak to comb the fur of the three little pterosaurs beside it; one of the little pterosaurs raised its head curiously, with its round eyes facing the camera, looking very cute.
"It's really rare that you can take such a close-up shot." He said with emotion.
……
[Little Velvet Pterosaur: Mom, is the person next to that older sister (Ying, whose spirit is possessed by Velvet Pterosaur) her child (Paimon, who is holding a camera)?]
(Mother Velvet Pterosaur: I think so. Baby, eat well and strive to grow up, and fly like this sister’s child!)
……
"There's something even more amazing!" Ying suddenly took out a small cloth bag from behind her back. When she opened it, a crystal clear yellow gem lay inside.
She picked up the gem and shook it gently in front of Shao Yun's eyes. The gem reflected a warm luster under the light, like a piece of solidified sunlight.
"We went to the Echoson tribe's mining area with Xiaolong. We originally just wanted to enjoy the scenery, but Xiaolong actually helped us dig up a superb gem! Look, isn't it very bright?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little dragon "Potato Pancake" who was sitting on the hay mat in the corner of the room immediately raised his head and let out a crisp "Wow".
His little head kept nodding towards Shao Yun, as if he was taking credit, as if saying, "I found this! I'm so awesome!"
Shao Yun looked at Xiaolong's cute appearance, then looked at the gem in Ying's hand. He took the gem and felt it was slightly cool and delicate. It was indeed a rare and good gem.
"Our little dragon is so amazing that he can even dig for gems." He smiled and touched the little dragon's head, and the little dragon immediately rubbed his palm comfortably.
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun sat on the edge of the bed, watching Ying holding the photo and sharing her daily life with sparkling eyes, and joked:
"You've had a pretty fulfilling day today. You took pictures of the beautiful scenery, encountered a pterosaur, and even dug up gems. It was much more interesting than me watching the progress at the construction site."
"It seems like you like Nata very much."
When Ying heard this, she immediately nodded vigorously, a silly smile appeared on her face, and her eyes curved into crescents.
"That's right! Ever since I came to Nata, I feel like every day is carefree, without having to worry about too many troubles. I'm really happy to be able to adventure with Paimon and Xiaolong!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously leaned closer to Shao Yun, her shoulder gently touching his arm, looking very dependent.
Shao Yun felt the warmth of the person next to him, and looked at her defenseless happy smile. The urge to propose became stronger and stronger in his heart.
He wanted this happiness to continue and wanted Ying to be carefree like this forever.
So, he took a deep breath, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and began to quietly carry out his proposal process, and asked softly: "By the way, Ying, are you free tomorrow?"
At this time, Ying was looking down at a photo of herself and Xiaolong. In the photo, Xiaolong was rubbing his head against the palm of her hand, and the picture was particularly warm.
Hearing Shao Yun suddenly ask her about tomorrow's time, she raised her head curiously, blinked her eyes, and asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong? Does the ranch need help?"
Shao Yun looked at her face which seemed to be thinking seriously, and could not help but raise his chin and extend an invitation expectantly.
"Kavi is watching over the ranch, so I don't have to worry about it. I was thinking, if you're free tomorrow, why don't we go spend some time alone? Just the two of us, let's find a place to hang out."
"Ah? A world for two?" When Ying heard these four words, her brain froze for a moment, her eyes widened, and she was a little confused.
"Why do you suddenly want to spend some time alone with me?" She asked while scratching her head subconsciously, obviously not reacting to Shao Yun's sudden proposal.
Shao Yun looked at her confused little look, and felt soft and funny in his heart. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, and patiently explained:
"I just want to be alone with you for a while. Think about it, we've been in Nata for so long, and we've been busy with adventures, building the ranch, or taking care of the baby. We've never had a proper date."
Ying was a bit troubled. She reported her itinerary for tomorrow truthfully and asked tentatively, "But, I still want to take on some commissions tomorrow..."
Having said that, she tentatively moved closer to Shao Yun and softened her voice.
"Hmm... How about the afternoon? I'll finish the commissions in the morning, and then we can go to some private time together in the afternoon. Is that okay?"
When Shao Yun heard that there was only time in the afternoon, he felt troubled. He frowned slightly and repeated subconsciously: "Ah? Afternoon..."
He had originally thought of taking Ying to the prepared proposal location in the morning, taking in the surrounding scenery together, and then slowly moving forward with the proposal process. However, if it was only the afternoon, time would be too tight.
It would take quite a while to go back and forth from the Holy Flame Arena to the proposal location of the Flowing Fountains. The remaining time would probably be used to hastily complete the proposal ceremony, and the originally planned "a little more tenderness" would be ruined.
But looking at Ying's expectant and a little apologetic look, he couldn't bear to be too harsh.
After all, Ying has always liked the work of an adventurer, and on second thought, there will be plenty of time to be intimate with Ying during the future honeymoon.
Even though time is tight this time, as long as I can propose successfully and let Ying feel my feelings, it will be enough.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun's inner entanglement gradually dissipated, and he reached out and rubbed Ying's hair.
"Okay, then it'll be one in the afternoon. We'll meet at the gate of the Holy Flame Arena. After we meet up, we'll set off directly."
When Ying saw that Shao Yun agreed, a smile immediately appeared on her face again and she nodded vigorously.
“Thank you, my understanding husband!”
Shao Yun looked at her happy expression and hoped that everything would go well tomorrow afternoon.
After all, he wanted to give Ying a perfect memory.
