Chapter 498: Chapter 496 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 2_1

Men who can speak always seem to win a woman’s favor.

Even though Xia Ningxing knew that his words were a bit exaggerated, she still couldn’t help but feel a surge of sweetness at the bottom of her heart.

On the north side of the base was a vast sea.

The Starfish 1 was floating near the shore.

It was silver and blue, imposing and majestic, like a great general holding a long spear, standing tall above the sea, overlooking everything on the surface of the water.

Everyone was queuing in an orderly fashion, walking up one by one.

Soon it was Xia Ningxing’s and Lu Tingli’s turn to board.

"Be careful," Lu Tingli said, gripping Xia Ningxing’s hand tightly on the deck as if he was afraid she’d fall.

Seeing his attentiveness, the corners of Xia Ningxing’s lips couldn’t help but rise.

The Starfish 1 was specially designed for underwater travel, so its interior was extremely luxurious.

It spanned five floors with dozens of rooms; the first floor was dazzling with gold and brilliance, crystal chandeliers twinkling with sparkling light, casting a mysterious glow on everyone’s cheeks and bodies.

Next came the allocation of rooms.

In fact, the rooms had already been assigned on shore. As the chief engineer of the Starfish 1, Lu Tingli could stay in a separate room.

Other high-ranking individuals could also stay in a room of their own.

As for the rest, they would have to share rooms like in a train, segregated by gender, with bunk beds.

"Please everyone return to your assigned rooms or bunks now. Starfish 1 will soon dive to the bottom of the sea. Please prepare yourselves, and it’s best to hold onto something fixed to avoid unnecessary injuries when we begin the descent," the base commander came out again and kindly reminded everyone.

Everyone responded and then started to find their rooms.

Lu Tingli led Xia Ningxing to room number one on the top floor of the Starfish 1.

"We’ll be staying here for the next few days," he said as he brought their luggage inside.

"It feels like this will be a very pleasant journey," Xia Ningxing said with a smile that curved her eyes. Following that, she raised her gaze to survey the room, stretching her hand to take off her glasses, hat, and mask.

The room was decorated in a simple style, probably about fifty square meters, with a TV, sofa, bed, wardrobe, and other furniture.

Especially at the very north was a huge floor-to-ceiling window made of a special material, extremely hard, immune to the assault of even a large group of sharks.

As the Starfish 1 sank into the depths, Xia Ningxing could overlook everything on the ocean floor through this large window.

It was still bright outside, but the ocean floor was clearly darker.

Moving from the light into darkness, Xia Ningxing’s eyes flickered for a moment, but soon she was gazing at the shimmering sea surface.

Twinkling and twinkling, as if diamonds were scattered in the midst of it.

The Starfish 1 obviously dove faster now.

The marine view outside the window grew darker and darker.

But soon there was light shining through.

It was the creatures of the deep sea!

Colorful fish swam freely, the gorgeous corals stretched out, while jellyfish emitted a crystalline glow, like little sprites of the sea.

"So beautiful!"

After removing her mask and hat, Xia Ningxing rushed to the window, her slender, fair fingers resting on the glass, her clear, radiant eyes staring intently at the sea creatures below.

Strangely enough, it seemed that the fish were aware they were being watched, and they started performing in groups.

They displayed a thousand changing postures, rolling, leaping, and eventually different fish even formed a rainbow.

A rainbow of fish under the sea.

Xia Ningxing immediately took out her camera and started "clicking" photos of them.

"It’s so beautiful! Really, it’s too beautiful!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t stop exclaiming in admiration.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice when Lu Tingli came up behind her.

"No matter how beautiful they are, they can’t compare to you, not even a little bit."

Lu Tingli whispered earnestly in her ear.

Xia Ningxing’s face turned red immediately, her eyes brimming with sweetness.

"Lu really has a sweet mouth."

The man took advantage and teased, "Then do you want to taste it?"

"Hooligan!"

Xia Ningxing glared at him.

"You should still taste it!" The man shamelessly moved closer, lifted her chin, and deeply kissed her.

Time seemed to stop, even the fish stopped performing and instead curiously blinked their eyes, staring at the two people who were kissing.

Humans are such curious creatures, why do they eat each other’s mouths?

"Lu, the fish are peeking at us," Xia Ningxing caught a glimpse of the fish pressing against the window, peering inside.

Her cheeks immediately felt burning hot.

"These fish are really hooligans!" As Lu Tingli said this, he swiftly pulled the curtains close.

And then...

He continued what they started!

It was a while before he let her go.

"Ningxing, there’s something I want to tell you."

His tone suddenly became serious.

"What is it?" Xia Ningxing’s cheeks were still flushed as she looked up at him, confused.

Lu Tingli didn’t immediately reply but instead took out a distinctively jointed finger and pulled out a document from his uniform pocket, handing it to her.

Xia Ningxing took it, looking over it and asking, "What’s this?"

When she saw the content on the paper, she was stunned into silence.

It was none other than a marriage application report!

Due to the special nature of his job, things like marriage and dating needed approval from the organization, and once the woman signed it, it was almost no different from an actual marriage certificate.

Xia Ningxing had not expected to get married so soon, she suddenly feared this was all just a dream, so she couldn’t help pinching herself.

Ouch!

This isn’t a dream!

This is real!

She was really going to marry this man she’d been childhood sweethearts with for over a decade!

Ahhh!

After swallowing hard, Xia Ningxing immediately took out a pen and signed her name on the paper.

Lu Tingli, who couldn’t stop her in time, was like: "?"

"Lu, here you go, I’ve signed it!" Xia Ningxing said, beaming with a radiant smile and handing over the marriage report like a good baby.

Lu Tingli looked at her with a touch of helplessness and took the document, "Why did you sign it so easily?"

"Otherwise, what? How else should it be done?" Xia Ningxing asked instinctively, having no idea what she might have missed.

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, "Haven’t you ever seen a pig run even if you haven’t eaten the pork?"

Xia Ningxing, whose mind was usually sharp, now had her head full of question marks.

She couldn’t help but lift her face and press for an answer, "What do you mean by that?"

"I haven’t had the chance to propose yet!" Lu Tingli sighed, dropping a bombshell on her.
