AWB Chapter 254 The Girl's Answer
Chapter 254 The Girl's Answer
Coral Island.
This is the largest artificial land reclamation in human history. It was completed in 2006. The entire island consists of the main island and three super-large island-based platforms. The buildings on the platforms are overlapped layer by layer. The three-dimensional structure like coral has become the origin of the city's name.
This is an artificial island city with a permanent population of 180 million, covering an area of about 790 square kilometers. It is located at the junction of Southeast Asia and Oceania and is an important economic and trade center in the Pacific region. Therefore, destiny is naturally involved in it.
The "Snow Lotus" squad of the Valkyrie Corps.
It is the elite team of Destiny. Although it once faced the crisis of disbanding, with the efforts of its vice-captain and a young man, Destiny retained its organization. The team is currently stationed on Coral Island to prevent the sudden outbreak of collapse and the loss of this huge economy.
The moonlight is like water, pouring down gently.
Green hills and lush greenery, night birds chirping.
The breeze blows on your face and the place is extremely prosperous.
Anna did not fall asleep immediately after a simple bath. Instead, she went to the terrace and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. The complicated emotions in her heart made her unable to sleep.
[I decided to let my proudest student Bianca and Jiang Ming get married. I believe everyone knows about their relationship. Yes, they like each other, but this relationship is always hidden in the shadows.]
[But now, I have made a marriage contract for them in the name of the bishop. I hope they will no longer hide their feelings and express their feelings for each other from the bottom of their hearts. Congratulations to them.]
After hearing the news, Anna suddenly looked dazed, caught off guard, nervous, sad, and regretful...
All kinds of complicated emotions filled her mind and she almost fainted. But in order not to worry her teammates, she could only try her best to smile bitterly and tell them in a hoarse voice that she was fine. But from the worried expressions on their faces, it seemed that she was not fooled, but Anna did not pay attention to this.
The quietness of the night is most suitable for expressing emotions. All the words that one dares not think or say will be revealed at this moment.
All Anna could think about was the time she spent with Jiang Ming in Manila a month ago. But no matter how she recalled it or how sad she felt, it seemed she could never go back to that moment.
It was her luck to meet Jiang Ming.
But
Not willing to give in...
So unwilling!
Anna gripped the railing with both hands, with such force that it was slightly twisted and bent. Her whole body was shaking, and her cherry-like lips were tightly pursed. Despite this, she was still shaking. Her eyes were red and choked sobs came out of her throat.
For fear of waking others up, she could only cry out in her heart. She did not dare to tell anyone about this grievance, which was not really a grievance.
Youlandel and Jiang Ming are recognized as a talented couple, a perfect match, and no one would dare to object to it.
But now Anna's hair is disheveled and she is as weak as grass in the wind and rain, without any trace of the demeanor of a Valkyrie.
Her back was already soaked with unwilling hot sweat, and when the night wind blew, she shivered violently.
Maybe... Bishop Tianming will personally hold a grand wedding for them and invite all the Valkyries. Can she go? She must go because she is the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad. Does she want to go? There is no doubt that she doesn't want to go in her heart.
There was no way Anna could attend the wedding with a normal mind, she knew she would never be able to control her emotions.
but...
but......
Anna's eyes were red, and she squatted on the ground along the railing, burying her head and crying.
After a while, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, very light, as if they were testing.
Anna subconsciously thought that the members of the Snow Lotus Team were worried about her, and came here after seeing that she was not in the room.
Anna hurriedly stood up, tidied her messy gray hair, wiped away the tears in her eyes, tried to adjust her breathing, and looked towards the stairs.
But just this one glance made her stop breathing.
Familiar face, familiar figure.
The person I was fantasizing about suddenly appeared before my eyes.
"Long time no see, Anna. Although it is hot here all year round, you will still catch a cold if you come here right after taking a shower."
"Jiang Ming... Sir?"
Anna used the honorific belatedly, but she felt that the distance between them became even greater.
After a while, a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Long time no see or anything...isn't it only been a month?"
"Ah... But for me, it's been half a year."
Jiang Ming walked towards Anna's position and carefully looked at the poor girl in front of him who was trapped in love.
The girl was wearing a thin light blue pajamas, and her delicate body looked petite and exquisite. Perhaps she really underestimated the night temperature here, or perhaps she had just vented her emotions and sweated a little, causing her to catch a cold in the wind. Anna suddenly sneezed cutely.
Or maybe it’s because I just took a shower.
There was a noticeable blush on the girl's face, which made her look pure and gave people the feeling of wanting to hold her in their arms and stroke her hair. However, the two tear marks were even more noticeable to Jiang Ming, which made him sigh secretly.
Anna's psychology is even stronger.
Why did Jiang Ming suddenly look for her?
Why do you have to say it’s half a year when it’s only been a month?
"what..."
Anna suddenly thought of a Chinese proverb: "When you haven't seen someone for a day, it feels like three years." This is probably what it means.
But why did he suddenly come to her? He had already made an engagement with Yulan Dai'er.
While she was still thinking, Jiang Ming had already come to Anna's side and covered her with a shawl blanket. Her trembling body began to calm down. Then he held Anna's wrist and took her to sit on the dining chair on the terrace.
"Anna, you're very emotional right now, but it's okay, I'm here, calm down first."
Jiang Ming sat next to Anna, his voice as soft as water, comforting the lovely girl beside him in a measured way. At the same time, he asked her whether she liked the life and work here, whether the team members were well-behaved and obedient, whether they covered themselves with quilts when they slept at night, and whether they stayed in bed in the morning.
But Anna kept silent, usually just nodded or shook her head, and even her answers were intermittent, as if as long as she did this, Jiang Ming would stay here with her forever.
From past experience, she was convinced that Jiang Ming would not treat her roughly. On the contrary, he would be more gentle and patient, and she only needed to answer him casually with a few words. This would definitely make him stay with her longer. Well, that was it.
There are bright moon and stars in the sky, and a faint fragrance flows in the night breeze.
There is also a hint of the tranquil scent of cherry blossoms.
"..."
Hmm...? Sakura scent?
Anna's eyes, which had been lowered, suddenly looked to the side.
I saw that the table, which was originally empty, had suddenly been filled with a few slender white ceramic wine bottles and two small pink glass wine cups.
"This is......?"
Jiang Ming smiled gently and said, "This is the Far Eastern sake I brewed myself, called Sakura Brew. I was just thinking of giving it to you, Anna, to try."
“Sakura wine…”
Anna murmured, with a gleam of doubt in her eyes.
As a European, she had never heard of sake, but she was fortunate enough to smell the light scent of cherry blossoms. Wine with the scent of cherry blossoms greatly aroused her curiosity, especially since it was brewed by Jiang Ming himself and there are only a few bottles of it in the world.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had already filled the wine cup and handed it to her, Anna subconsciously took it with both hands. Her beautiful pink eyes looked at the crystal clear wine in the cup, on which a small cherry petal was mischievously placed.
The scent of cherry blossoms becomes clearer.
Out of curiosity, Anna took a sip, then slightly raised her snow-white neck, drank the whole glass of wine, and licked her dry cherry lips.
"Hmm...sweet and sour, delicious."
"It's great that you like it so much."
Jiang Ming began to pour wine for Anna. Anna thought that since it was sake, she probably couldn't get drunk, so she didn't refuse and drank cup after cup of Sakura wine...
"Woo..."
Not until her cheeks, which were already slightly flushed, became even redder did she gently put down the glass wine cup, letting out a slight moan from her throat.
No matter how sweet it tastes, sake is still wine. Anna drank too fast and accidentally burped a few cute times. Seeing this, Jiang Ming hurriedly gave her a massage to help her calm down.
The girl's pale pink eyes were already a little blurry, her thin lips slightly parted, and a faint scent of cherry blossoms emanated from her mouth.
"The wine... has a very fragrant floral aroma. I didn't expect there is such a delicious wine..."
"..."
Hearing this, Jiang Ming stretched out his right hand and gently embraced the girl's right shoulder. With a gentle pull, the girl's delicate body lay slightly on Jiang Ming's chest, nestling in his warm arms like a little bird.
"Um...Master Jiang Ming...?"
Jiang Ming gradually approached the girl's lips. Anna saw it but did not offer any resistance. She just put her right hand on Jiang Ming's chest and her left hand nervously on her crotch.
Looking at those cherry pink thin lips, a soft and youthful scent aroused Jiang Ming's taste buds, but he just smelled the aroma of wine on the girl's lips.
"Yeah, there really is still the scent of cherry blossoms. Of course, Anna's body fragrance after bathing is also very attractive."
"...Please don't say such things, Lord Jiang Ming, or...are you not Lord Jiang Ming at all?"
"..."
It's not some kind of incurable love-brain disease. This is the best thing. Otherwise, it would make people feel even more heartbroken.
Hearing Anna's sudden sobering words, Jiang Ming's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his face. He just let go of the girl in his arms and handed her a cup of green tea with a blooming cherry blossom floating on the surface of the tea.
"It's good to be a little sober, but you should drink a sip of hot tea first. As for the question of identity... I am of course Jiang Ming, but I have been through some things recently, and my state of mind has changed slightly."
"…Is it about marriage?"
"..."
Jiang Ming lowered his head slightly, staring at the wine cup in his hand in silence. Anna saw that Jiang Ming didn't say anything and suddenly an idea came to her mind, but she didn't know how to put it forward directly, so she could only ask tentatively.
"Master Jiang Ming, you... don't like Youlan Daier?"
Jiang Ming put down his wine cup and smiled bitterly: "I know what you want to say. You saw me suddenly come here at night, and it was the night when the bishop announced our marriage, so you subconsciously thought that I didn't actually like Youlan Daier, so you came to you at night to express your feelings that [the person I really like is Anna Shaniyate]. Is that what you mean?"
"what..."
Anna widened her eyes slightly. What he said hit the mark. She did have such a lucky mentality in her heart, but she didn't expect to be exposed so easily. He really was worthy of being called Lord Jiang Ming.
After all, it was just sake, the alcohol content was not high, and with the slight stimulation just now and the warmth of the tea, Anna was almost sober, but she was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Her tentative words were exposed and spoken out loud on the spot, which really made her feel ashamed and she didn't know how to respond.
