Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 913: A Sudden Confession

The long-awaited Yang Yang.

Actually, when she returned this time, she had already been waiting in the sky.

She watched Qing Chen fail again and again, falling and injuring himself, but she didn't intervene because Qing Chen wouldn't allow it.

But several times, when she saw Qing Chen about to fall to the ground, her heart leaped into her throat.

"We just met, and your wheels ran right over my face," Qing Chen said with a smile.

Yang Yang carefully let go of him: "I've been protecting you in the sky for seven days, a little compensation isn't too much, is it? A few days ago, I even misfired a missile. Humph, if it weren't for me, the entire training base would have been reduced to ashes!"

"Yes, yes, Yang Yang is the best," Qing Chen said. "Let's go, the kingdom's last-ditch effort should be over, no need to worry about them anymore. After I finish this training, I'll personally go get kg's eyeball."

Yang Yang checked Qing Chen's injuries, but found that after removing his flight suit, his body was covered with scars, without a single piece of intact skin.

She said seriously: "Qing Chen, you can't keep overworking your body like this. You might have been able to complete that challenge, but the training has become a mechanical inertia, and your body is injured again and again. Your ability to control your body is declining. This is the reason why you were slightly off. Listen to me, rest for a few days, and then finish it in one go."

Qing Chen pondered: "But I don't have much time. I've intentionally drawn Chen Yu in, planning to kill him in Forbidden Zone 001. Only in this way can the Chen Family's Air Fortress and military forces become our help." Yang Yang said: "It's just a cycle of traversal, you can just avoid him. He's coming for you, he won't run away!"

"No…"

Yang Yang said: "I saved you again, right? Listen to me, rest for a day, consider it repaying me a favor."

"Okay, one day's rest!"

Saying that, Qing Chen walked towards the training base, Yang Yang followed behind, naturally taking Qing Chen's left hand.

Qing Chen's left hand stiffened slightly, then relaxed. The two walked side by side, a smile playing on Yang Yang's lips.

Liu Dezhu was piloting the helicopter circling above. Now that he saw the fighter jets, he wasn't afraid at all, because they came with Yang Yang.

With Yang Yang around, fighter jets weren't that effective.

He said in the communication channel: "Little Seven, how's it going on your side? I'm descending now to pick up the Boss."

The helicopter slowly descended, but suddenly an inexplicable gravitational force enveloped the empty American Cougar, forcibly lifting it back into the sky.

Liu Dezhu: "…Rescue failed."

Little Seven was startled in the communication channel: "Boss is in trouble?!"

"Oh, Boss is fine, it's just that if I had insisted on rescuing him, I might have gotten into trouble." Liu Dezhu piloted the helicopter directly back, ignoring the young couple strolling on the ground.

It's only about 20 kilometers, they can walk back.

Liu Dezhu asked leisurely in the communication channel: "Is the battle over on your side?"

"Not yet, dealing with those scraps on the North Slope, almost done!"…

"Then I'll go back to base first, I heard Alice bought a lot of ingredients today, she's going to make us a French dinner."

Little Seven asked doubtfully: "Hey, don't you need to continue assisting Boss with training?"

"He's not training anymore," Liu Dezhu replied.

"Ah? Why did the training stop?" This was something unbelievable in Little Seven's eyes. Liu Dezhu said: "I think there's only one person in this world who can make him stop, and isn't that person right there?"

"That's true, then you go back first, I'll finish the battle before dinner time," Little Seven replied. Even if you're a beast warrior, you can't delay everyone's lunch, right?

Originally, Little Seven was thinking of bringing the beast warriors back to the Inner World for dissection, to let the scientists in City 2 study them, but Qing Chen said no.

Beast warriors are industrial waste from the West Continent. If the City 2 scientists abandon scientific ethics and integrity, they can also research this thing, there's no value for reference. "When did you get promoted to A-rank?" Qing Chen asked: "Is it the effect of the revolver?"

"Yeah," Yang Yang said with a feigned grievance: "Seeing more and more A-ranks around you, that Shendai Yunluo brought two A-ranks to compete for favor, I couldn't sit still if I didn't become an A-rank."

Qing Chen: "…What the heck is Shendai Yunluo."

Yang Yang said with a smile: "That Fate-Defying Revolver, I tried it forty times before I got an upgrade bullet. Usually, it's either blanks, downgrade bullets, fireworks bullets, or freezing bullets."

Yang Yang: "Getting hit by a freezing bullet is really cold, hiding under the covers doesn't work, you can only build a bonfire around you. Getting hit by a downgrade bullet can only hide to avoid being discovered, lest you be kneaded as a rookie."

The Fate-Defying Revolver is indeed powerful, it can help Metahumans comprehend higher levels of realm in advance.

Just like Qing Chen seeing the divine cut in advance in the Virtual Realm, it has decisive significance.

However, before that, Metahumans have to endure more than forty days, or even longer, period of weakness. If they encounter enemies during this time, they're easily killed.

Thinking of Yang Yang during those moments, it must have been very difficult, but when he was in danger, she was by his side, but when she was in danger, he wasn't by her side.

"I'm sorry," Qing Chen said earnestly.

Yang Yang immediately understood: "Hey, you're a person who does great things, I can't waste your time, because too many people need you to plan for the future. Don't worry, I don't blame you, just kiss me later… huh?

Yang Yang was caught off guard, her right cheek was kissed. She suddenly turned around and asked Qing Chen: "Have you thought it through?!"

It was too sudden.

So sudden that she couldn't accept it for a while.

Qing Chen nodded: "I can't always let a girl take the initiative, while I have no reaction, right? I'm not just Makabaka."

Yang Yang shook her head: "I don't want a kiss that comes from a sense of guilt, I want you to like me. I've said it before, I can wait."

Qing Chen smiled: "Sometimes, I'm very grateful to you, because when my brother left, you were by my side. When I crossed the tribulation on the Barents Sea, you were also by my side. When I needed help in Osaka, you went there without hesitation. But I also know that gratitude doesn't represent feelings, so I've always been unsure whether I'm more grateful or have more feelings."

"Then?" Yang Yang tilted her head and asked…

"When my brother left, I had a dream. I dreamed that I lived like an ordinary person for 17 years," Qing Chen said.

"You told me about it, in that little house in City 5." "But that dream didn't only include the little house in City 5, there was also school," Qing Chen said: "In that dream, we were in the same class in kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school."

Qing Chen stopped, looking at Yang Yang: "That dream was actually my brother's greatest wish, he hoped that our family wouldn't have to bear any responsibilities, and live together peacefully. I didn't have the power to decide. But in that dream, in my own corner, in my life from the age of two and a half in kindergarten to the next 15 years, you've always been there. My brother's wish for me was simply to go to school safely, to get into Qing He University… As for how to get in, he didn't even consider it, so he left me a corner."

Yang Yang was stunned.

This was probably Qing Chen's first confession to her.

Originally, she thought she would have to wait a long, long time, wait for world peace, when swords are returned to their sheaths and horses are put to pasture, only then would Qing Chen have the time and energy to consider his feelings.

She might be able to wait for that day, or she might not. If she could wait, it would be best, but if she couldn't, there's nothing she could do.

Yang Yang lowered her head, only feeling her heart thumping. She wanted to change the subject, so she asked: "Reading through the books again in the dream, taking exams once a month, isn't that tedious?

Qing Chen said: "Because you were in the classroom, so I wanted to go to school every day."

The next moment, Yang Yang suddenly lifted Qing Chen into the air, and they flew straight into the clouds. The soft and delicate clouds were like a bed, a blanket.

Qing Chen exclaimed in the clouds: "Hey? Wait, don't tear my clothes! Wait!"

"Oh, oh, sorry, I got a little excited for a moment, it was too fast, too fast, you won't cherish it if I didn't," Yang Yang said with a smile, she held Qing Chen's hand and flew towards the training base.

While flying in the sky, Yang Yang suddenly asked: "Actually… you thought that you might not survive facing Chen Yu, so you said those things to me, right? With your personality, you should have made me wait a long, long time. You wanted to challenge the Trials of Life and Death to go back and kill Chen Yu, but later you found that you couldn't break through in such a short time. So, you were worried that you would die, and after you die, some things wouldn't be able to be said."

Qing Chen was silent for a long time: "Mm. Not only that, I also worried that I wouldn't be able to leave the Forbidden Zone alive. Too many people died there, and I'm nothing special."

"Then that's the truth," Yang Yang said.

Qing Chen: "Mm?"

Yang Yang: "When one is about to die, their words are true, you won't lie to me at this time."

Qing Chen: "…"

"Don't you think that's a little selfish?" Yang Yang asked: "Leaving a seed in my heart and then calmly facing danger. Once you die, I'll never forget you, and it will be difficult to like anyone else."

Qing Chen was silent again for a long time: "I want to be selfish once, whether I can come back alive or not, don't forget me."

In the past half year, Qing Chen had gradually lost the concept of selfishness. He had done so much for so many people that he gradually neglected himself…

But he couldn't be selfless about this one thing.

Yang Yang suddenly laughed: "It's nice to be selfish once, I'll wait for you to come back."

Just as they were about to reach the training base, Yang Yang said: "I've waited for you for so long, and you just confessed and died, where can I reason with you? So, don't."

"What if I really die?" Qing Chen asked with a smile.

"If you die, I'll probably be so sad that I'll awaken again, and then I'll kill all the blood relatives of Chen Yu's lineage, and then scatter your ashes into the sea," Yang Yang said forcefully.

In Yang Yang's view, if Qing Chen dies, she will be extremely, extremely sad, and it would be reasonable for her to awaken again as a Demi-God.

The two landed at the training base, Alice saw Yang Yang at the door: "During the time I knew Joker, what kind of girl could move him? Now I finally see it."

Yang Yang's eyes were smiling, but her mouth was boastful: "Humph, if he hesitates a little longer, I won't wait for him."

"Wash your hands and get ready to eat, I've prepared lunch for you!" Alice said happily.

She was different from Solare, she didn't participate in the battles outside, she wore headphones when she slept.

When the training base was deserted before, she always felt a kind of indescribable loss. Now the training base is full of people, everywhere there are people laughing, and there are people using broken English to tell her "I'm hungry."

This kind of warmth is rare.
