章節 104: Chapter 100.8: Iron Blood's First Aircraft Carrier (Part 4)
"Young Zeppelin, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Lin Lan was startled by the little chibi's unusual behavior. He quickly crouched down and tightly hugged the little chibi in his arms.
"Commander, I... I might have to go home."
Hearing Young Zeppelin's tearful words, Lin Lan felt a jolt in his heart.
"Are you going back? But why is this happening? You clearly..."
Through the time spent with Young Zeppelin, Lin Lan had come to deeply like this optimistic and innocent little chibi.
He never expected that this little chibi would say something like this now.
As he tried to find the right words to comfort her, a terrifying thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Was it possible that Young Zeppelin, who had mysteriously appeared in his port area, could also mysteriously disappear?
"I don't want war. I don't want to bring death to others. Commander, what... what should I do? Wuwu..."
The poor little chibi cried sadly in Lin Lan's arms. It was the first time Lin Lan had seen Young Zeppelin cry so heartbreakingly.
As Lin Lan, heartbroken, just held Young Zeppelin and tried to think of comforting words, he suddenly noticed that Young Zeppelin's body was slowly becoming transparent.
"No, no..."
Lin Lan was helplessly watching everything happen, trying to stop it, but he realized he couldn't do anything.
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly picked up the now partially transparent little chibi.
He hurried to his desk.
"There's still time, there's still time!"
Lin Lan sat on his chair, frantically pulling open a drawer and taking out a small black box.
Opening the box, a radiant vow ring was quietly placed in the center.
"Young Zeppelin, don't cry. Look at this."
Lin Lan held the ring in his hand, took a deep breath, and composed himself.
With the most gentle voice he could muster, he spoke to Young Zeppelin.
Hearing Lin Lan's words, the silver-haired little chibi, whose body was now seriously transparent, slowly released her grip on Lin Lan and looked at the ring in his hand with tear-streaked, sorrowful eyes.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Lan slowly put the radiant vow ring onto the ring finger of Young Zeppelin's right hand, not bothering to wipe away his own tears.
"Young Zeppelin, I... I like you. Damn it, why didn't I say this to you earlier? I really, really like you very much."
Lin Lan watched as the little chibi, sitting on him and becoming more transparent, now almost in a ghostly state, spoke with increasing gravity and even swore.
"Vow... ring?"
Young Zeppelin's innocent red eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
Fortunately, the vow ring was successfully placed on the little chibi's right ring finger and didn't fall to the ground.
Young Zeppelin, now severely transparent, gently touched the exquisite ring on her finger.
Tears fell from her delicate, cute face in large droplets.
But when the tears fell on Lin Lan's leg, they did not dampen his pants.
Young Zeppelin was truly disappearing.
Lin Lan watched in despair as everything unfolded, gritting his teeth to keep from breaking down.
"Hmph, no matter what you do, I will never yield to you! ... Snacks? ... I want to eat, give me a portion too!"
"I like high places! Because you can see far away!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Despair and hatred are nothing! I believe that as long as you don't give up, you will surely realize your dream someday!"
The scenes of the times they spent together flooded Lin Lan's mind, making him want to cry in pain.
But he was afraid that if he moved even slightly, this innocent, adorable little chibi would completely leave him.
"Fool, fool, fool, annoying, annoying, annoying! Giving me something like this only makes me want to stay even more!"
The almost completely transparent Young Zeppelin suddenly cried out loudly.
Lin Lan, in agony, reached out to gently stroke the little chibi's head as he had before.
But his attempt was doomed to fail.
His hand passed straight through the little chibi's body, as if...
Touching a non-existent projection.
Young Zeppelin watched all this, her body now so faint it was barely visible, her eyes locked onto Lin Lan's face as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her soul.
She suddenly took a deep breath and, with all her strength, cried out to the commander who had cared for her during this time, her voice breaking with tears:
"Wuwu... promise me, if I go back, you must find me in the future, okay? Promise me! Promise me!!!"
Hearing Young Zeppelin's childish voice, Lin Lan could no longer contain his pain and desperately shouted:
"I will! I will definitely find you in the future and bring you back to the port!"
Upon hearing his words, the completely transparent little chibi finally showed a hint of a happy smile.
Lin Lan watched helplessly as the little chibi who had accompanied him for so long completely vanished from his lap, his face blank with shock.
…
"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep!"
The loud alarm clock jolted Lin Lan awake.
"Young Zeppelin!"
Lin Lan sat up in bed, shouting, his face still streaked with dried tears.
"Son, stop yelling so early in the morning. Get up quickly, don't forget that there's an early class on Engineering Economics with Old Zhang this morning. You'll be in big trouble if you're late!"
"That guy always stands by the door to catch latecomers and deduct points. It's already 7:50. Don't blame us for not waking you up! We're leaving now!"
His roommates' shouts and footsteps instantly brought Lin Lan to his senses.
What he had just experienced was all a dream.
