"So..."

Nuo Xia spoke in a relaxed tone and helped Bellemere place the tableware one by one. "What on earth is so important that you have to save money for three years..."

"Stop pretending to be stupid!"

These words were like the fuse that lit a powder keg. The girl with a maroon ponytail suddenly rose up, pinched both of his cheeks, and said viciously:

"Get married! Get married. I'm saving money for the wedding. We should have gotten married a long time ago, you bastard!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

Swish, swish, the eyes of the surrounding diners were all focused on, Nuo Xia hurriedly broke away from Bellemere, stood up and pressed his hands down with a dry smile:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everyone continue to eat, continue to drink, don't worry about us..."

When the melon-eaters turned their heads, he sat down and said to Bellemeier with a grimace:

"Can you please lower your voice? You're making it sound like we're having a wedding tomorrow..."

"Then can you give me a specific date?"

Bellmeier was obviously in a mood and said unhappily, "I asked you this question in the first letter I sent you half a year ago, but you made all kinds of prevarications and refused to answer directly..."

"I have never promised about marriage at all. It was not just a joke to coax you to come down when I was a child..."

"Um?"

Seeing Bellemeier's suddenly cold expression, Nuo Xia choked and wisely swallowed the word "joke" back, and then said quietly:

"We must definitely get married, but Bellemeier, don't you think it's too early for us to talk about such things at our age?"

"Is it early?"

The girl snorted, stared closely into Nuo Xia's eyes and said:

"After the New Year, we will all be twenty years old. It is the best age to get married! Don't forget, didn't Aunt Tulip and Mr. Captain also get married at this age?"

"..."

Nuo Xia didn't know how to refute for a while.

Indeed, with different worldviews, worrying about the wedding all day long at the age of nineteen did not make sense in the previous life, but in this world it is quite ordinary.

In particular, his relationship with Bellemeier has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary childhood sweethearts.

If he hadn't been taken to the headquarters by Garp, he might have been arranged by his parents to get married by now, and he might even have children.

Fortunately, at this time, the waiter brought all kinds of barbecued meats to the table, which relieved the somewhat aggressive atmosphere at the table.

Nuo Xia thanked him, took the plates of barbecue and put them on the table. When he saw the drinks, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "It's all milk, don't you provide other drinks here?"

"No, sir." The waiter said with a smile on his face, "We only have milk, but it is provided for free in unlimited quantities. You can order as much as you want."

"Forget it, just milk."

He curled his lips, really, barbecue doesn't go with Coke or beer, what the hell.

Speaking of which, this restaurant gave him an increasingly strange feeling.

Not only is there unlimited barbecue buffet, but also unlimited milk is provided. Is the owner of this restaurant really an old rich man who came here to do charity after retirement and was bored?

“The meat tastes pretty good.”

He took a bite of the roasted meat on the plate and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He was a little surprised, "They are all surprisingly fresh, and they are the best parts of the cow..."

"Don't change the subject."

Bellemer poured the milk for him, and also thoughtfully mixed the dipping saucer and handed it over, but he still insisted on the topic just now, "Tell me, when will you be willing to marry me?"

"General." Nuo Xia thought for a while and said seriously.

"……What?"

The girl didn't understand.

"When I become an admiral and fulfill my life dream, the two of us will hold a wedding." Nuo Xia counted on his fingers, "It should not be more than a few years. We were both still young at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl, who was so angry that her hair broke out, pinched her cheek again.

"pain."

"I haven't exerted enough force yet!"

Bellemeier said fiercely, "Are you kidding me? General? Do you think I am still a naive little girl? Don't you know the meaning of these two words? By the time you become a general, you will be an old man in his fifties or sixties!"

You clearly want to fool me again!"

"No way."

Nuo Xia looked at her innocently, "My current position is already very high. I am only a few steps away from being a general."

He stretched out his right hand, brought his thumb and index finger together, and gestured, "Now, that's it."

"The position is very high?" Bellmeier looked at him suspiciously, "What...what do you mean, aren't you just a recruit?"

In the morning, the two of them had just talked about his internship in the G2 branch. About taking the graduation examination in advance and being awarded the title of major general, Nuo Xia hadn't had time to tell the girl yet and was planning to talk again in the afternoon.

Now that this issue has been brought up, let’s show off our cards in advance.

"I have already graduated. As for the position I was awarded..." Nuo Xia just stood up when a sudden commotion suddenly came from the stairs.

"Look, it's Colonel Satsuma!"

"So aura, worthy of being the top officer of our island branch..."

Listening to the whispers of the diners around him, Nuo Xia turned around subconsciously and saw a man wearing a white cloak of justice, who was slowly walking up from the stairs, accompanied by the owner of the barbecue restaurant.

This man was about 27 or 27 years old, tall, over three meters tall, with a beard, a cold expression, his hands behind his back, and he had the aura of a superior person who was not angry or powerful.

"Why are there so many people on the second floor? Are there any seats left?"

Seeing that the second floor was also noisy, he looked displeased, glanced at the boss behind him, and said calmly.

"Yes, don't worry, seat 78 is empty. Please come with me, Colonel." The boss smiled and respectfully extended his arms to guide the way.

Is this Colonel Satsuma?

Nuo Xia looked at it for a few times and then looked away without interest.

He heard his father talk to him a few words last night, saying that this branch colonel had just been transferred last year.

He is usually very arrogant and aloof, and rarely gets close to his subordinates and the civilians under his control.

However, these are the shortcomings.

As the top officer of the base, Colonel Satsuma usually handles affairs very responsibly, takes the lead in fighting pirates, and has never done anything unscrupulous such as extortion or bribery.

Therefore, after a one-year term, the overall reputation is pretty good.

He looked at Bellemere opposite, only to find that the girl who had been so aggressive just now had her body curled up in the corner of the seat.

From time to time, he would look back nervously in the direction of the stairs, as if he was afraid that Colonel Satsuma would find him.

"What are you doing?" Nuo Xia looked a little funny, "You are on a normal day off today, and you didn't sneak out from the base. What are you doing so evasive?"

"You don't understand."

Bellemeier sighed and lowered his voice:

"Colonel Satsuma is very strict. Usually everyone tries to avoid him as much as possible. When I joined the army last year, I was reprimanded and criticized by him in front of many people because of my substandard shooting movements. I still have it today.

It’s a psychological shadow…”

What are you afraid of?

As soon as she said this, she suddenly heard the voice of the owner of the barbecue restaurant, "Hey, there are people in seat 78, what a coincidence... Then Colonel, come with me, there are three seats next to the window.

There should be seats on the 10th side!"

Number 30?

Bellmere subconsciously glanced at his table number, which was twenty-six, and the seat number thirty was not far across the way. The corridor next to him was the only way to get there from the stairs.

broken!

She immediately grimaced, listening to the approaching footsteps behind her ears, murmuring in her heart, hoping that Colonel Satsuma would not notice her and just stride over.

However, things backfired.

The footsteps suddenly stopped as soon as they reached him. Bellemeier, who lowered his head, could clearly see Colonel Satsuma's black leather shoes under the table, which were slightly shiny with oil.

Was it seen?

Bellmer was worried for a while, knowing that he could not avoid it, so he had to raise his head. When he was about to stand up and salute, he found that Colonel Satsuma was not looking at him at all, but was staring blankly at Nosha opposite:

"You, are you..."

Were you recognized even though you were not wearing uniform?

Nuo Xia, who was holding a glass and sipping milk, shook his head helplessly, raised his head and smiled at Colonel Satsuma: "You're not mistaken, it's me."

Snap!

The next moment, Bellemeier saw it in astonishment.
