That day, after we left Lux's house, we had a hasty meal together and then parted ways. The next day, I stayed alone with Ufemia. Aunt Romina had 'something' to do, and Nicole went to play with Luna, so no one disturbed Ufemia and me. Unfortunately, I still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to give the ring to Ufemia. I deeply felt that I had failed.
Just like in the anime, on September 20th, Nicole and the others reported to Team Kruze. After that, due to the secret mission, there was no news.
I've been working at Uncle Amalfi's Verne Design Bureau for more than three months now. My current mission isn't too urgent. There's an acquaintance here, Y'zaks 'fiancée, Zhibao. Hanifs. Zhibao was testing the beam test model of the CG and BuCue, while I was testing the reconnaissance model of the GINN and the early warning model of the DINN.
Our mission is to cooperate with the various teams to test their experimental MSSs. We need to be on duty in the standby room for twelve hours a day. If there is a mission, we will be on call. If there is no mission, we can go back and rest after the shift time is over. Sometimes, due to the continuous small changes to the test machine, the two batches of test pilots will take turns. However, there may also be a long period of time without missions due to the large-scale changes to the test machine.
Coincidentally, although Zhibao and I were in different groups, we were on the same shift, and there was only one waiting room. During the time when there were no missions, the two of us spent more time together. Gradually, we talked more and would occasionally fight. After all, we were both young people. However, we weren't the only ones in the waiting room. Rumors spread among the bored test pilots and logistics personnel. Thinking that she was my friend's wife and that her immediate superior was my father-in-law, I had no choice but to restrain myself. She also deliberately distanced herself from me. Now, our shift time has been spent on the simulator. Currently, there was no AI program on the simulator to control the MSSs, so I could either fight the MSSs with Zhibao alone or cooperate with them to torture the MSSs. I wasn't sure how strong I was, but I was definitely worthy of the Red Specter I was wearing.
Such repetitive days, coupled with the fact that they couldn't go out, were obviously very boring. He really admired how a girl like Zhibao managed to survive. Just as I was about to die of boredom, my father-in-law finally gave us ten days off from December 24th, 1200 to January 3rd, 1200. The reason was Christmas and New Year's Day.
I returned home first. I still had to spend Christmas Eve with my parents. After all, I hadn't been home for more than three months. Although I didn't miss my parents much, the way parents missed their children wouldn't change. After taking over Paul's body, it was only right for them to be filial to his parents. He definitely had to go to Ufemia's place. It wouldn't be too late to ask her out tomorrow for Christmas.
She must have heard from Uncle Amalfi that I had returned home. Mother had prepared many of Paul's favorite dishes for me. I felt like I was slowly blending into this world because all kinds of feelings were real.
Kruze rolled around in his Guaiz.
When Ufemia saw me, she was very excited. I hugged her in front of her parents without feeling shy. After that, she continued to lean on me, allowing me to find my sense of existence again.
After dinner with the Amalfi family, I got permission from Aunt Romina to bring Ufemia out. It was obvious that Ufemia had always maintained her noble etiquette. When she saw her, she was always dressed in formal clothes. She had made an exception last time, so it seemed that she had to buy clothes first when she came out to play today.
Because of Christmas, Santa Claus or Santa Babes could be seen more or less at the entrance of various shops. Children who received small gifts from one Santa Babe swarmed to the next Santa Claus. Children's smiling faces could be seen everywhere.
I brought Ufemia around and found a Christmas outfit in a shop. After getting a full set for Ufemia, I pushed her into the fitting room without any explanation.
"Well, Paul, can you come in and help me?”
Ufemia's voice sounded like she was about to cry. I didn't know what was going on either, so I quickly rushed in. Fortunately, there wasn't any major problem with Ufemia. It was just that the zipper at the back of her dress had twisted her hair. Ufemia felt her hair being pulled in pain, but she was too embarrassed to call me, so she was in a dilemma and cried.
I carefully took out Ufemia's hair from the zipper and pulled the zipper down a little. I felt that I couldn't move because after the zipper was pulled down, a large area of Ufemia's smooth jade-like skin was exposed. Her sexy collarbone was also deeply attracted to me. Ufemia couldn't feel my movements and turned her head to see my stiff appearance. She immediately blushed and turned back to be an ostrich.
I was shocked by her actions and recovered. I hugged her gently and let her lean against me." Ufemia, don't be shy in front of me. You don't have to deliberately show it. I love everything about you. I belong to you, and you belong to me. Even, even, we have been friends for a hundred years, which one of us will die at ninety-seven years old? Why wait three years on the bridge?”The last line was sung by me. It was the ending of the folk love song in my previous life," There's No Vine Entangling Trees in the World ". It was a rather poignant and beautiful line.
"We have known each other for a hundred years. Which one of us will die at the age of ninety-seven? Why wait three years on the bridge? Hmm, what a beautiful poem." Ufemia repeated the lyrics I sang. She was very touched. She then broke free from my embrace and stared into my eyes."But if you die, I won't live alone. So, for my sake, please come back alive.”
"Of course, I joined the army to protect you. If I don't come back alive, what's the point? Can we get married after the war is over?”I took out the engagement ring from my pocket."This is the engagement ring our mothers prepared for us. Are you willing to wear it?”
I thought that there wouldn't be a second person who could squeeze into the fitting room to propose to me. When Ufemia looked at me strangely, I realized that the location wasn't right. However, she still carefully picked up my ring and helped me put it on her finger. She used her actions to express her intentions. I also took out the ring I prepared for her and put it on her left ring finger.
We both forgot that the zipper on her back was unzipped. After a few movements, Ufemia's dress suddenly slid down, revealing her naked body in only her underwear and stockings. Ufemia first screamed and frantically covered her chest and lower body. Then, she reacted and looked at me calmly and generously.
"I'll go out first. Hurry up and change your clothes.”I actually couldn't hold it in any longer. I quickly ran out of the fitting room after saying that. Although I had all kinds of ideas, I wouldn't implement them here. Moreover, Ufemia was too pure. I couldn't do anything indecent to her.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ufemia's scream attracted the shop assistant. When she saw me coming out of the fitting room, she stared at me as if she was facing a great enemy.
"It's okay. He just hurt me when he helped me take my hair out of the zipper.”Ufemia replied through the door.
After hearing Ufemia's explanation, the shop assistant walked away with a suspicious expression.
"Paul, give me other clothes. I'm not used to wearing these clothes.”Ufemia opened the door slightly and whispered.
I took the opportunity to sneak in again. Ufemia was wearing the Christmas outfit I had chosen. Her upper body was a red short velvet vest with little angel wings on the back and white fur on the edges. There was a heart-shaped hollow above the chest of the vest, which was also lined with white fur. Her lower body was a short velvet skirt with red and white borders. She was wearing a pair of red boots that were also made of velvet. She was wearing a red velvet wrist guard with white borders and a gold-rimmed bow tie around her neck. She was not wearing a Christmas hat. She looked pretty good overall. The only pity was that she wasn't blonde, but she could cover it with a Christmas hat and a bun.
"It's quite beautiful. Why wouldn't I be used to it? Is it because of the fabric?" I stood behind her and helped her do her hair up. I put on her Santa hat and pointed at her in the mirror."Doesn't it feel like he's a different person?"
"This dress is too short!" Ufemia pulled her skirt down a little, but the vest and skirt did not match. Her belly button was exposed, so she had no choice but to pull the skirt back.
Well, her skirt was only ten centimeters away from her thighs, and it was a straight skirt. It was much longer than the kind of skirt that exposed all her thighs and only covered her hips. Perhaps the conservative aristocratic education made her feel that revealing her thighs was indecent."It's not short. You saw Luna Maria's short skirt that day, right?”I pointed at her thigh and continued,"It's all exposed up to here, and it's an A-shaped dress. The hem is very loose. It's fine for you to wear a long dress like this!”
"Humph! I'll remind her next time I see her, so she won't embarrass the Amalfei Family.”Ufemia suddenly became unyielding and pushed me out."Help me find a longer dress. Otherwise, I won't change. I definitely won't wear such clothes.”
Damn, I didn't expect that I wouldn't succeed in persuading her, but instead, I've dragged Luna into it. Moreover, I've raised it to the level of the family's reputation. I'll mourn for Luna. I had to look for a dress. Unfortunately, Christmas clothes were all suits. The one I chose for her was already the most conservative, so I had to choose another set of casual clothes for her to replace the original Christmas dress.
When she came out, I pulled her around the women's clothing section."Look, how many of the dresses here are the ones you want? Most of them are the kind that Luna Maria wears, right? The one I found for you just now was the longest. Any longer skirt should be the kind of simple gown you wear.”
"Let's go to other places to take a look. I don't believe that such short dresses are sold everywhere.”Ufemia didn't give up and dragged me out.
"Why is this happening? Don't they feel ashamed?" Ufemia pulled me around to take a look at several women's clothing stores and found that it was indeed as I said. She asked in disbelief with a hint of panic.
