In the study, Lu Cheng’an and Lu Zexuan stood side by side in front of Lu Tingyu.

Lu Tingyu looked at the two outstanding juniors with satisfaction and said, “Cheng’an, your father passed away early, and you grew up by my side since you were young. I have always treated you as my own. In my heart, you are just like Zexuan, both my children.”

Lu Cheng’an smiled and said, “I know, Uncle has always treated me better than my own father.”

Lu Tingyu said seriously, “In this generation of the Lu family, only you two are S-class sentinels. Now, Zexuan insists on transferring to the Spirit Fox Corps to work with Xie Ran. Cheng’an, the heavy burden of the Eagle Legion will be on you in the future. I called you both here today to discuss this matter.”

Lu Cheng’an looked at his brother and asked, “Have you already made a decision?”

Lu Zexuan nodded, “Yes, I and Ranran have been through so much together, I don’t want to be separated from him. Besides, now that the Dark Night Organization has been completely eliminated, and the Federation’s crazy expansion has slowed down. Establishing mental communication with alien creatures is something both Ranran and I want to do, and it’s very meaningful.”

Lu Cheng’an noticed that his brother mentioned Xie Ran three times, obviously, this guy had completely fallen for him. However, seeing his brother grow up and mature, able to stand on his own, having his own dreams and pursuits, and meeting the love of his life, Lu Cheng’an was also very happy for him.

Lu Cheng’an patted Lu Zexuan’s shoulder and said straightforwardly, “Good! There’s no need for formalities between us brothers. From now on, you go be the ambassador, and I’ll stay behind to take care of things, relieving you of your worries.”

Lu Zexuan said, “Great, brother, are you willing to work at Eagle Legion headquarters?”

Lu Cheng’an replied, “Since I’m alive and back, I want to stay by Uncle’s side and help him with some of the work.”

Lu Tingyu said happily, “Very good. Then it’s settled. Cheng’an, you will learn from me first. When I retire in a few years, you will be the new commander of the Eagle Legion. I believe with your abilities, you can manage the legion well.”

For the two brothers, this was the best arrangement. Lu Zexuan could work with Xie Ran, and Lu Cheng’an could stay in the capital planet without worrying about being separated from Mohr.

…

Half a month later, the Eagle Special Forces, which had once embarked on missions to various star systems and completed countless difficult tasks, officially announced its dissolution, as if symbolizing the end of an era. Many members joined the Spirit Fox Corps with Lu Zexuan, while others followed Lu Cheng’an to work at the headquarters.

After President Harrison’s reelection, there were earth-shaking changes in the Federation’s policies. Human expansion in the universe slowed down, and the Federation entered its most peaceful era in hundreds of years.

The following summer, Lu Cheng’an celebrated his 30th birthday. It is said that a man is established at the age of thirty. General Lu, who had experienced hardships, was more mature and stable than before, and more charming. As the public heir of the Eagle Legion, he became the center of attention wherever he went.

However, he still remained as cheerful and talkative as before, always with a smile on his face. His six-year-long imprisonment and torture experience left no trace of pain on him but instead made him stronger. He was the first distorted sentinel in the history of the Federation to recover consciousness.

Lu Cheng’an did not consider this experience as his shame but openly talked about his feelings. He even cooperated with the Federation Academy of Sciences in many studies on brain cells, memory, and spiritual landscapes. He hoped to help scientists completely solve the problem of sentinel distortion.

Perhaps one day in the future, more distorted sentinels could be rescued.

On his birthday, Lu Tingyu held a grand banquet at the Lu family estate, inviting many people to celebrate Lu Cheng’an’s birthday. This was his first birthday since his return, like a rebirth from the ashes.

His experience had been extremely difficult; he lost his parents at a young age and was fostered in his uncle’s home. Later, after becoming the captain of the Eagle Special Forces, despite numerous achievements in battle, he suffered persecution at a young age, his body torn apart by monsters, and became distorted. He was taken by the Dark Night Organization as an experimental subject, spending six long years in a dark and hopeless cage…

After this birthday, he would be thirty years old. Having experienced hardships but never forgetting his original intention, he still maintained an optimistic attitude. For him, thirty was a brand new beginning.

Many military officers came to celebrate Lu Cheng’an’s birthday, showing great respect for him. Lu Cheng’an greeted everyone with a smile, but his attention was always on the person in the corner.

Mohr wore a suit today, with silver-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and cultured. He sat quietly in the corner eating, seemingly trying not to attract attention. However, with his appearance and demeanor, just sitting there would attract countless gazes. Lu Cheng’an smiled faintly and walked towards Mohr.

Mohr sensed the gaze behind him, turned around, and met Lu Cheng’an’s deep eyes. Lu Cheng’an walked up to Mohr and stopped. The guests around them all looked over, and Mohr was puzzled about what he was going to do. Then, suddenly, Lu Cheng’an knelt down. He took out a delicate box from somewhere, inside was a beautiful diamond ring shining under the light.

The music in the hall stopped tactfully, and the banquet hall suddenly quieted down.

Mohr nervously straightened his back.

Lu Cheng’an looked up at him and said sincerely, “Mohr, I once promised you that I would spend every birthday with you in the future. But I haven’t kept my promise to you, and I’ve made you sad for so many years. The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you. In the past, we didn’t have much time together. So, I hope, for the rest of my life, I can always be with you. I will protect you, accompany you, and celebrate every birthday with you. Today, with so many relatives and friends as witnesses, I will absolutely not break my promise again. Mohr, I want to officially propose to you. Will you accept?”

Meeting his gentle eyes filled with a smile, Mohr felt deeply moved. As an A-class guide, orphaned, Mohr’s background and abilities didn’t actually match Lu Cheng’an’s. But today, in front of so many relatives and friends, at a grand birthday party, Lu Cheng’an publicly proposed to Mohr… This not only represented his sincerity but also gave Mohr a great deal of dignity.

Mohr’s fingertips trembled slightly as he blushed and accepted the ring that Lu Cheng’an handed to him, softly saying, “Yes, I accept.”

Lu Cheng’an’s heart leaped with joy. He carefully placed the ring on Mohr’s finger, stood up, and hugged him tightly. Warm applause filled the room, and many guests sent their blessings to them. Mohr felt dizzy, as if he were dreaming.

…

After the birthday banquet ended, Lu Cheng’an took him to the mountaintop. There was a tent set up on the mountaintop, surrounded by beautiful lights – this was where Mohr had camped with Lu Cheng’an on his birthday years ago, and it was also where Lu Cheng’an had confessed his feelings to Mohr for the first time.

Mohr walked towards the tent and asked, “Why did you bring me here? To reminisce about the past?”

Lu Cheng’an hugged him from behind, resting his chin on Mohr’s shoulder, and said softly, “On your birthday that year, I was here, confessing to you, and gave you a necklace, remember?”

Of course, Mohr remembered. He had been wearing that necklace all along, never taking it off.

Lu Cheng’an continued, “Did you, by any chance, prepare the same gift for me?”

Mohr paused for a moment, “How did you know?”

Lu Cheng’an smiled and said, “I remember when we were on Red Spider Planet, you kept telling me every day that you had prepared a necklace for me.”

Mohr took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, “I’ve had it ready for a long time, but I never got the chance to give it to you.”

Lu Cheng’an took it and saw that it was the same necklace. The pendant on Mohr’s necklace was a cute little deer, while the pendant he gave to Lu Cheng’an was a miniature golden eagle, both models resembling their spirit bodies, looking like custom-made couple items.

Lu Cheng’an lowered his head and said, “Here, help me put it on.”

Mohr picked up the necklace and placed it around Lu Cheng’an’s neck. The two of them looked at the matching necklaces on their chests and smiled at each other. This belated birthday gift, six years overdue, was finally given to the person they wanted to give it to today.

Lu Cheng’an stretched out his arm, lightly wrapped his left hand around Mohr’s waist, and skillfully took off Mohr’s glasses with his right hand. Mohr’s ears turned red, and he obediently closed his eyes, thinking that Lu Cheng’an was going to kiss him again.

But after waiting for a moment, Lu Cheng’an didn’t make any moves at all. Mohr opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Lu Cheng’an smiling at him with a full face, jokingly saying, “What, did you think I would kiss you after taking off your glasses?”

Mohr’s face turned completely red, “You…”

Lu Cheng’an suddenly reached out his long arm and directly lifted Mohr horizontally, carrying him all the way into the tent and casually closing the tent’s door.

At that moment of being pressed down, Mohr finally realized something was wrong. “What are you doing…”

In a low voice by his ear, Lu Cheng’an said, “Today, I not only want to kiss you but also want to have you completely.”

Mohr blushed even more, and he wanted to struggle, but the strength of a sentinel was strong, and he was quickly pressed back.

Lu Cheng’an’s voice was somewhat hoarse, “Mohr, I’ve proposed to you, and I only love you in my life. We’ve been apart for so many years, haven’t you ever thought about being truly together with me?”

Mohr’s eyelashes trembled slightly. Of course, he had thought about it. In his youthful dreams, he had had very intimate contact with Lu Cheng’an. Now that the day had finally come, although Mohr was nervous, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited. After the bodies of a sentinel and a guide were combined, they would be completely bound and could never be separated.

Mohr closed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly. “O-Okay… Today is your birthday… You call the shots.”

Lu Cheng’an’s heart raced wildly. Mohr’s docility was simply irresistible. Unable to restrain the strong desire in his heart any longer, he quickly removed Mohr’s clothes and passionately kissed his soft lips.

On the open mountaintop, under the warm lights, the tent suddenly began to shake violently. Ambiguous sounds occasionally emanated from inside, fragmented and disjointed, continuing until late into the night.

Lu Cheng’an had already booked this campsite in advance, and there were no outsiders present. So, no one knew what exactly happened that night.

***

The next day, Lu Cheng’an, satisfied, carried Mohr back home.

Mohr didn’t want to move at all, nestling in Lu Cheng’an’s arms with his eyes closed. Without his glasses, he looked even gentler than usual. Lu Cheng’an carried him to his bedroom and said seriously, “Mohr, I will prepare a grand wedding for you.”

Mohr’s voice was hoarse, “I don’t care about the ceremony, as long as I’m with you, whether we have a wedding or not doesn’t matter.”

Lu Cheng’an said, “That won’t do. Not only do we have to have a wedding, but we also have to do it as soon as possible.”

Mohr was taken aback, “As soon as possible? Are you in such a hurry?”

Lu Cheng’an ruffled Mohr’s hair and smiled, “It’s not that I’m in a hurry, but we also have to consider Zexuan. As his older brother, if I get married first, it’ll make it more natural for him and Xie Ran to get married. Uncle’s suggestion is that Ranran and Zexuan’s military affairs may be busy, so their wedding might have to wait until next year. Let’s have ours in the summer, to get it done early.”

Lu Cheng’an smiled gently and kissed his forehead, “You’ll listen to me about the wedding. After we’re married, I’ll listen to you, okay?”

Mohr’s face blushed slightly, “Okay.”

After so many years, Mohr was still easily embarrassed. Thinking about their life together after marriage, Lu Cheng’an felt a deep sweetness in his heart. To meet such a gentle, persistent, and devoted guide, he felt truly fortunate.

***

That summer, Lu Cheng’an and Mohr held a grand wedding on the capital planet. Finally, under the witness of relatives and friends, they walked into the hall together, swearing to each other to be each other’s only companions, never to abandon each other.

Not long after, Lu Zexuan and Xie Ran held a special wedding ceremony on Red Spider Planet, officially uniting under the witness of the Spider Queen. The Lu brothers each found their own happiness. With both good news, General Lu Tingyu was in high spirits every day.

After getting married, the young couples moved out to live on their own, after all, they wanted to enjoy their time together. However, whenever there was a holiday, Lu Zexuan and Lu Cheng’an would bring their respective partners back home to visit their parents. Under the influence of General Lu, the cooking skills of the two brothers improved, and they would consciously cook for the whole family whenever they gathered. Xie Ran and Mohr would accompany their parents in the living room.

The family was harmonious and happy. The storms had passed, and the remaining days, being able to accompany and be with their loved ones, were the greatest happiness.
