An Yao came out of the shopping mall and found that the streets seemed to be particularly lively today.

The ××× empire has been under attack by powerful foreign enemies during this period, and the domestic economy has become very depressed. The people are also panicked. Usually, few people come out on the streets, and the empty streets are filled with a sense of depression and coldness.

, even the fallen leaves on the roadside are not taken care of.

Today is an exception.

The streets were crowded with people, lights were decorated, gongs and drums were played.

strangeness.

Isn’t it a holiday today?

She walked towards the crowd again.

The crowded crowd gathered forward in one direction, cheering in unison for the empire's victory.

It turns out that the Empire finally won.

Her eyes lit up with joy, and she followed the direction of the crowd and looked at the huge screen in the center of the mall.

A man with a strong and calm aura appeared on the huge light screen, standing in the center, behind him were the imperial troops returning to the court, solemn and majestic.

The man has a head full of dazzling blond hair, like the most dazzling sun in the empire. His slim and straight military uniform makes him even more extraordinary. The series of badges on his chest symbolize his illustrious military exploits and supreme military glory.

——This is the youngest air force general in the empire, Yuan Yu.

Just last night, he led the army to attack the enemy camp at night, entering and exiting three times, successfully repelled the powerful enemy's attack, and pursued the victory to defeat the enemy's entire defense, and defeated the enemy that was several times stronger than them.

The army was defeated and unable to fight back, and was even forced to sign a humiliating treaty.

Yuan Yu's admirable commanding ability allowed him to defeat many with less and made great military exploits. He was called the most dazzling sun in the empire. He was awarded the highest military rank in the empire so far and was loved by thousands of his people.

The speech he gave early this morning was played on the screens in all the shopping malls in turn.

Everyone cheered for him.

Everyone loves him.

Inspiring.

An Yao was a little lonely. She placed a hand on her chest and felt slightly tight. Her lover was loved and respected by so many people and became a well-deserved hero general in everyone's eyes. She should be happy, but...but, she

But there are not many happy emotions in my heart.

It was as if what should have been his own had been divided into many, many pieces. Most of his time and effort had been devoted to other places, leaving only that small portion for her.

The distance between the two seems to be getting farther and farther.

If the beautiful memories between the two were not still vivid in her mind, she looked at the blond man supported by everyone on the big screen, and even had a trance feeling that the two of them were not in the same world. This feeling made her

I feel very uncomfortable.

Even though An Yao knew that Yuan Yu did this to give her a better life, so that she could live better in this country without being invaded by foreign enemies, the feeling of loss in her heart still spread uncontrollably.

Especially today, it is a special day.

Today is her birthday, and it is also the first anniversary of their relationship...

In the past, every time she celebrated her birthday, he would personally prepare a grand birthday party for her, but this time he was away on an expedition for a long time and has not been back for more than half a year.

In the early hours of this morning, this three-year intense war had just ended. Yuan Yu was supposed to lead the army today to clean up the battlefield and hunt down the absconding enemies, but he would definitely not have time to come back in person.

The most times she saw him in the past six months was on the screen.

Even if she wanted to make a video call sometimes, the number of times she could get through was only handful.

Even if she finally got through and was able to talk to him, the background sounds were always noisy screams, explosions, and all kinds of thrilling sounds... She even saw a severed blood-soaked animal alive once.

The man's arm flew out of the screen. You can imagine how urgent the man's area was.

On the screen, his body is always stained with blood, and his brows are full of exhaustion... But even so, he will still try to find time to talk to her at least once a month.

And comforted her - the things on his side are not big, and the war will be over soon.

An Yao is not a little woman who likes to be messy and coquettish. She also knows very well that it is very hard and dangerous for him to be there. She is very considerate of his worries and concerns about him, so except for the first two months of phone calls,

She hasn't spoken to him in recent months.

The tense border war occupied almost all of his time.

I guess he has forgotten these little things.

An Yao thought to himself, otherwise it would be impossible for today to be almost over and not even a single call came.

She glanced at her phone and opened the call interface no less than 5 times. In the end, she still didn't make the call and put the phone back.

She went to the mall to purchase a lot of ingredients as usual, planning to make herself a sumptuous dinner. Even though she comforted herself countless times, she was walking alone on the streets in the evening, looking at the pairs of people next to her.

, she still couldn't help but feel lonely and cold in her heart.

In fact, she had some vague expectations in her heart at first, but as the evening came to an end and it was about to fall into the night, the phone call still didn't come through. The expectations in her heart gradually turned into disappointment. She sighed, rubbed her face, and stopped thinking about it.

These messy things.

An Yao returned home.

Open the door.

Don't wait for her to turn on the light.

The lights in the living room turned on in an instant.

An Yao was stunned, thinking that there was a burglar in her home. Before she could even realize what was going on, she was hugged tightly by a hug with a faint smell of blood. The deep longing that penetrated her bones was accompanied by the strength of her arms.

It almost melted her whole body into her bones and blood.

The man's hot breath enveloped her completely, and An Yao didn't even need to look or think about it to know who the person in front of her was.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with mist, "...Yuan Yu?"

"I'm back."

The Adam's apple rolled, and the man's low and sexy voice revealed hoarseness and exhaustion.

An Yao gently opened the distance between the two, raised his little face, and looked at him seriously.

As soon as he saw it, he hurried back from the battlefield early this morning, without any time to waste. Although the blood-stained military uniform on his body had been replaced in advance, there were still some blood stains on his arms that he had not had time to clean carefully, lingering around him.

There was a faint smell of blood, which made An Yao's eyes even more sore.

The lights behind the two people rose. It turned out that he had prepared gifts and surprises. The most conspicuous five-layer cake exuded a sweet cream aroma and was decorated with cute and delicious chocolate decorations, just like...

The sweet Mary Sue plot is only staged in bubble romance dramas, it is beautiful and dreamy.

An Yao covered her mouth. It was impossible to say that she wasn't moved in her heart. She couldn't help but feel a little funny. She buried her face in his chest and muttered, "Where did you learn the tricks? They are already outdated now. Smart girls have long ago."

I don’t like this kind of surprise.”

Yuan Yu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, hesitantly said, "This is also the first time for me to prepare a surprise for a female. I'm afraid that my clumsiness will mess things up. I don't know how to convey my feelings to you.

.”

So he just imitated what he saw in movies and TV shows... Didn't he expect that it was already outdated?

Unfortunately, time on the battlefield was too tight, and he really didn't have any extra time to study the twists and turns here.

Although An Yao said he didn't like this Mary Sue tone, even in real life, which girl can resist this big surprise?

She happily hugged his thin waist and looked up at him with her little face, her eyes filled with happiness and distress, "Shouldn't you be on the front line now? Why are you back so soon? I saw you were still there at three o'clock in the morning today

When you were being interviewed by the military district...you didn't come all the way after the interview and didn't even have time to rest, right?"

"Today is your birthday, and it's also the first anniversary of our love. How could I not come over?" He said softly.

No matter how difficult it is, he should be by her side on this day.

"So, you still remember."

Her nose was a little sore again.

"Of course I remember." He smiled helplessly and rubbed her soft hair with his big hands, "How could I forget?"

She was moved and complained at the same time. She buried her little face on his chest again and wiped away her wet tears. "That's only one day. Will you leave again tomorrow? Just like before?"

"I'm not leaving."

He whispered.

"Really?"

The girl's dim apricot eyes lit up with moving colors in an instant. Her long eyelashes were still a little wet, with some undried tears hanging at the corners of her eyes. Yuan Yu couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her gently.

Out of the corner of his eyes, "Really."

"When I come back this time, I will never leave again. From now on, I can stay by your side like a true lover and will never be separated again."

The empire promised him that as long as he could repel the enemy's eyeing tens of millions of troops, he would be allowed to take off his military uniform and have supreme honor and wealth - to spend all his time with his lover and take him with him.

She lived her best life.

He belongs to her alone now.

thereafter.

Protecting her is his only belief in life.

Yuan Yu gently held one of her hands, knelt down on one knee, kissed the white and tender fingertips, took out the diamond ring he had prepared, and

"Beautiful lady, can I spend my whole life guarding you? I will always be loyal to you, never leave you, and serve you." He put her hand on his heart, where there was a hot and beating heart.

His heart tells his loyalty and love to his goddess.

"Who taught you this?" She chuckled, but her eyes were a little red.

"No one has taught me this, it's just from the bottom of my heart." He smiled, "I want to stay by your side and protect you forever, so are you willing to promise me?"

An Yao put the diamond ring on her ring finger, hugged him, and kissed the man's handsome cheek,

"Honey, I do."
