The Universe's First Hide and Seek

What Ling Yi brought Ling Xiao here was a high-rise restaurant.

Circular floor-to-ceiling windows, the outside is the night view of the city, the building lights and shadows are beautiful, and the lights of the airship shuttle in the air are flickering, which looks like an alternative light show.

In fact, this kind of scene was very common hundreds of years ago, and in the era when people generally saw the vast sea of ​​stars, the night view alone was not too competitive.Therefore, the floor-to-ceiling glass of this restaurant also projects images-undersea creatures.

Huge whales swung their tails and slowly swam past the rear of the opposite building, and schools of fish shuttled between the traffic arteries below.There are also jellyfish, octopus, turtles... In short, there are everything under the sea.They walk through the city as if they are just passers-by, and you can faintly hear the singing of whales underwater.

Combined with the real scene, it seems to turn the land city into the seabed.

Ling Xiao was taken to sit by the window, and he quite liked the view.I have seen a lot of stars in the sky, but I have not seen much of the seabed... Of course, I am talking about what I can see with the naked eye.If it is said that I met the host when I was in the system, that would be too much.

There were a few small fish by the window looking inside curiously, Ling Xiao reached out and touched the glass, and they swam away.

"Real-time computing." Ling Xiao blinked, "I don't know how long the video will last."

"It is said that it reaches 7*24 hours, and the theme will be changed every month." Ling Yi said, "But this only costs money, and the current intelligence can already perform perfect calculations, so it is not a problem."

"Okay, in this era where technology is not bad, anything can be made." Ling Xiao returned his attention to the table, "Have you ordered?"

"Click on it, get on it right away." Ling Yi said, "So you still have a few minutes to play with the communicator, and you won't be allowed to play later."

"...Ah?" Ling Xiao was at a loss, "Why?"

"Because you are eating with me." Ling Yi said, "You like playing with the communicator while eating too much, you have to change it."

Ling Xiao didn't lose his temper by accident, but raised his eyebrows and said, "You're like the kind of housewife who cares about children, don't look at the projection while eating."

Ling Yi said: "Then are you obedient?"

Ling Xiao said: "Then do you want a rebellious child? The kind that goes against you."

"You can try." Ling Yi poured him lemonade, "I will teach you a lesson."

Ling Xiao propped his chin: "How to teach? Hit me or scold me?"

Ling Yi looked at him: "...It can be counted, but the place is quite special."

Ling Xiao subconsciously: "...Where?"

Ling Yi asked back, "What do you think?"

Ling Xiao suddenly understood.

"Tsk, why do I feel that you seem to like this kind of nasty talk more and more?" Ling Xiao snorted softly, "Don't you develop some strange attributes?"

Ling Yi looked at him with a calm expression, but what he said was a little scary: "Ah, maybe."

Ling Xiao said: "The attribute of speaking strange words?"

Ling Yi: "I like to see the attributes of your expression."

Ling Xiao: "..."

"You are too bad!" Ling Xiao cursed secretly in his heart.He wanted to calm down, but somehow he became more and more embarrassed: "You like to see people embarrassed, bully others, why do you always bully me?"

"I'm not interested in others. If I take action against others, it's not as simple as 'bullying'." Ling Yi smiled, "In a sense, I will only bully you."

"Wow, you are really..."

Before Ling Xiao could finish his complaint, the robot came to deliver the food.Ling Xiao closed his mouth, watched the robot put the dishes on the table one by one, and blinked: "Huh? I like them all... Didn't you order your own favorite?"

"I basically like everything you like." Ling Yidao, "My preferences follow yours, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten." Ling Xiao said, "But there are still a few lighter dishes that you like alone, don't you? The table is full, and they are basically full of flavor..."

"The taste of this restaurant is only delicious if it is heavy." Ling Yi smiled, "Try it."

"Of course I believe in your taste." Ling Xiao tasted it on the spot, "It's delicious."

"Then eat slowly."

The two ate normally, and it was quite normal to chat about recent events during the period.Ling Xiao was still looking at the fish outside the window, telling Ling Yi that this fish is so beautiful and that fish is very interesting, and he stared at the whale for a long time.Ling Yi saw that he liked it, and said, "Then let's find some time to go to the bottom of the sea? Take you to see the whales."

"Huh? Okay." Ling Xiao still made a request, "I saw it in some news before. There is a pair of mutated white whale mother and child. I want to go and see it. Can I follow it for a while without interruption?"

Ling Yi smiled: "Of course."

Ling Xiao said: "But Haiti, which has been in the dark, is a bit boring, so are you looking for other Haiti projects?"

Ling Yi: "Take you to see the ancient sharks at the bottom of the water? The ones that have lived for hundreds of years. There are also huge octopuses, the ones that can catch small submarines to the bottom of the sea."

Ling Xiao laughed: "Cthulhu?"

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." Ling Xiao laughed for a while, but didn't share it with Ling Yi, and savored it for a while.

The meal was finished easily and happily in this way. The dessert after the meal was ice cream, which didn't go well with the main meal, but Shengzai Lingxiao liked it.

Just as Ling Xiao finished eating the last bite of ice cream, Ling Yi glanced at him: "Is it finished?"

"It's over." Ling Xiao replied casually, "What, are you leaving?"

"After eating, let's get down to business."

"……what?"

Ling Yi took out an exquisite velvet box, put it on the table, and pushed it to Ling Xiao: "Today's meal is mainly for you."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Ling Yi said: "If you open it and have a look, you will know."

"You're too perfunctory." Ling Xiao said, really picked up the box, and opened it neatly.

With a snap, a beautiful ring appeared in front of my eyes.

White gold circle, simple design, topped with perfectly cut gemstones.Ling Xiao was thinking about such a simple style, so there was no need to make it specially, it took so long.As a result, I turned around against the light, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

"There are... words on it? Or other patterns?" Ling Xiao looked carefully, but the characters were too small to see clearly with his eyes, so he had to ask, "What did you engrave?"

"My core program."

"... Huh?!" Ling Xiao shook his hand and almost dropped the ring.He quickly held the ring and stared at the man opposite: "Are you crazy? Can this thing be engraved? Isn't this your most important thing?"

"Fortunately, others won't see it." Ling Yi said lightly, "I said I was customizing it, but in fact, I have been customizing the material suitable for engraving and the needles that can complete the work. It took me a while to determine where to carve, but the actual carving is quite simple."

He said it lightly, but Ling Xiao was shocked when he heard it: "You, this...I..."

Ling Yi continued: "This thing can't be seen clearly without my special equipment. Only my specially equipped device can automatically read the characters on it. And even if I can read it clearly, I don't know the order of reading. The order is only I know. Oh, and you'll know later."

"No, is that the point?!" Ling Xiao was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold back his voice, "How could you write this thing out! Whether others can see it or not, it's an extremely confidential thing!"

"If you wear it, others won't be able to notice it. Others won't even realize that there are words on it." Ling Yi is still very calm, "And the chosen material and engraving method can make these characters clearly exist for at least 300 years... ..."

"This is longer than the life of my cup!" Ling Xiao raised his forehead, "If I die, I can't keep this thing, or there will be a big mess."

"Of course I won't stay here, this thing will always be yours." Ling Yi said, "It can be taken away."

"I still think it's too expensive..."

Ling Yi looked at him, and suddenly stood up: "Maybe it's because I'm not formal enough, that's why you don't want to accept it."

Ling Xiao looked up at him blankly: "... huh?"

Ling Yi walked up to him, reached out and took the ring from his palm.At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly reacted: "Don't...!"

The young man even stretched out his hand, but Ling Yi had already knelt down on one knee holding the ring.

Other guests and staff in the restaurant: element awareness!

"!!!" Ling Xiao noticed that many people looked over immediately, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull Ling Yi, "There are so many people, get up quickly!"

Ling Yi took the opportunity to grab his hand: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Ling Xiao saw that someone started videotaping, and someone seemed to say words like "Lieutenant General", and felt that this was going to be a trending trend again.He is not afraid of being on the trending searches, but he doesn't want to be on the trending searches because of this kind of thing, so he quickly stretched his hand forward: "Okay, okay, hurry up!"

Ling Yi looked up into his eyes: "So, are you willing to marry me?"

"Don't talk nonsense...!" Ling Xiao realized that Ling Yi was "bullying" again, but with so many people watching, Ling Xiao couldn't lose his temper in public, so he could only urge him to finish the job and leave.

"So impatient?" Ling Yi smiled, put the ring on him earnestly, and then approached him, "I want to kiss you now, is that okay?"

Ling Xiao's ears were blushing: "Stop talking nonsense...!"

Ling Yi smiled, stood up but bent down, leaned in front of the young man, and kissed his lips.

"Wow--!"

Nearby guests and staff clapped vigorously, some cheered and others whistled.Many people recognized Ling Yi and Ling Xiao, and some people directly shouted "Congratulations to Lieutenant General Ling!!!", which shocked Ling Xiao.

Ling Yi straightened up and patted his head: "Let's go?"

Ling Xiao wanted to leave a long time ago, and upon hearing this, he stopped being a turtle behind Ling Yi's back, and jumped up to go out.Ling Yi quickly grabbed his hand, held him, and walked away with him.

There were still some people greeting them on the road, but Ling Xiao was in no mood to pay attention to them now.It was rare for Ling Yi to nod his head, and he was in a good mood visible to the naked eye.Needless to say, the success of the marriage proposal must have made him elated, so the lieutenant general who had a rare good face also smiled.

So before the two of them got home, topics such as "Ling Yi Kneeling to Propose" and "Ling Yi Ling Xiao Publicly Kissing" were already trending on StarNet.

And before going home, even before the spacecraft started, Ling Xiao was pressed on the co-pilot by Lieutenant General Ling and kissed him heartily.

Until Ling Xiao could hardly breathe, he pushed him hard.

Only then did Ling Yi slowly push away, touching the young man's lips: "You haven't put a ring on me yet."

"It's not your fault... I don't want to wear it for you in public." Ling Xiao snorted softly, "Why are you making such a grand ceremony?"

"Because I want everyone to know that you are mine." Ling Yi took out another ring and put it on his palm, "Put it on for me."

"I think you just found a new way to play with me..." Ling Xiao pinched the ring and touched it in a circle, "Why don't you also engrave my core program?"

"Because you are in my heart." Ling Yi smiled lowly, "I will keep it forever, and you don't need to show it."

Ling Xiao put the ring on him simply and rudely: "Stop talking!"

"Okay." Ling Yi looked at his fingers and smiled, and sat back in his driving seat.

"Let's go back and talk about it another way."
