save the bachelors

Chapters 5154 and 5157: [Post-War Celebration]

That evening, the rescued villagers of Feld held a long-awaited celebration.

They played the piano, lit a bonfire, and brought out their treasured beer to celebrate their long-awaited freedom.

"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate," Samir said, bringing two glasses of beer to Xiang Nan and Diana.

“No, don’t bother me, Sami, I still have work to do.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, “I need to make a plan for tomorrow’s banquet, and I also need to get a German uniform.”

“That’s simple, don’t worry,” Samir advised. “Besides, as you said, there’s really nothing we can do before tomorrow. Cherish today, my friend.”

"Okay, thank you~" Xiang Nan said, taking a glass of beer.

“That’s right,” Samir said with a smile. “Please, beautiful lady.” He then handed the remaining glass of wine to Diana.

"Ha, it's been a long time." Xiang Nan took a sip of the mellow beer and said, then looked at the villagers singing and dancing, and said to Diana with a smile, "You did it, you really saved them."

“We did it, we saved them together,” Diana corrected.

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, watching the couple embracing and dancing gracefully. "Do you dance on Paradise Island too?"

“Of course.” Diana nodded. “But it’s different from the dance you’re doing. What you’re doing isn’t dancing at all; it’s just swaying your bodies.”

“Considering you’re going to be fighting the God of War, I’ll reluctantly teach you how to dance,” Xiang Nan said with a smile. He then took the pistol from his waist and made an inviting gesture. “Miss, would you like to dance with me?”

“Alright, since I’m going to the ball tomorrow, I’ll learn your dance.” Diana nodded.

“No, you can’t go to the ball tomorrow,” Xiang Nan said, waving his hand.

"Why?" Diana asked, puzzled.

“First of all, you can’t dance,” Xiang Nan explained.

“I also said that you can’t dance,” Diana retorted.

In her opinion, this kind of dance where men and women embrace and sway together is not a real dance at all.

"Be humble, be humble," Xiang Nan laughed. "Come on, give me your hand first, then I'll put my arm around your waist, and then we'll start 'swaying' like you said~"

"You're sticking too close to me," Diana said, somewhat surprised.

“That’s the point of dancing,” Xiang Nan explained, “to create opportunities for men and women to be intimate.”

“I understand now,” Diana said, suddenly realizing.

At this moment, beautiful singing accompanied by piano music began.

Xiang Nan and Diana looked in the direction of the sound and saw Charlie playing the piano and singing loudly.

I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

travel the world
Sweet dreams, songs, and flowers will surround you.

I want to gaze into your eyes.

Hold your hands tightly

......"

“I haven’t heard him sing in years,” Xiang Nan said upon seeing this.

Diana was amazed; she never expected Charlie to sing, and to sing so beautifully.

Just then, white snowflakes began to fall gently.

Diana stared at the snowflakes with curiosity, momentarily stunned.

"This is called snow," Xiang Nan explained. "Touch it~"

"My goodness, this is amazing!" Diana exclaimed in amazement.

It's amazing that these tiny white flowers are falling from the sky; they're icy and cool.

Paradise Island was created by Zeus, and it was warm and comfortable all year round, so this was the first time she had ever seen snowflakes.

"Yes, that's right." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

"Do people live like this when there is no war?" Diana asked curiously.

Music, parties, fine wine, delicious food... this kind of life is truly wonderful.

“Yes, there are many other things.” Xiang Nan nodded. “What else?” Diana asked.

“For example, breakfast, which is very delicious. After getting up, I read the newspaper, eat breakfast, and go to work... In the future, we will get married, have several children, and grow old together…” Xiang Nan explained.

"What does that feel like?" Diana was very curious about it.

"I don't know either." Xiang Nan shook his head.

Diana did not press the matter further.

Their eyes met, gazing at each other, and a feeling of ambiguity arose spontaneously.

……

After the ball, Xiang Nan escorted Diana back to her room to rest.

As he prepared to close the door and leave, he looked at Diana and saw that Diana was also looking at him.

Xiang Nan then closed the door, walked over to Diana, and the two embraced and kissed.

They have been together for about twenty days, which is not a very long time, but it is not short either.

Moreover, their shared experience of facing life and death together further fueled their growing affection.

In Diana's eyes, Xiang Nan was also a very charming person.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also intelligent, brave, and loyal, which is why she couldn't help but be attracted to him.

So the two of them consummated their relationship that very night.

……

The next day, after breakfast, they prepared to continue their journey.

“You’re right, breakfast is really delicious,” Diana said with a smile.

Milk, bread, jam, sausage... it's really delicious.

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

“The villagers gave us the horses,” Samir said to Xiang Nan as he approached.

“They are so generous,” Xiang Nan said gratefully.

“They also called me a hero,” Samir laughed.

“You always were,” Diana replied with a smile.

At this moment, the chief and Charlie also came over.

“Guys, as I said before, this mission will only take two days.” Xiang Nan looked at Samir, Charlie, and the chief and said, “Now that the two days are up, I have to keep my word.”

“You won’t make it through without us,” the chief said.

“That’s right, Diana can protect herself.” Samir nodded. “Our concern is that you won’t make it.”

“But I don’t have any money left to pay you,” Xiang Nan explained.

“It’s alright, the money given before was enough,” Samir waved his hand and said.

"Besides, you guys seem to be better off without me, don't you?" Charlie said self-deprecatingly.

“No, Charlie, without you, there would be no such beautiful singing,” Diana said with a shake of her head and a smile.

“Singing?! Okay, it's what you asked for.” Charlie immediately began to sing, “The reeds are green, the fields are green, the most beautiful time of my life…”

"Okay, thank you everyone, let's get going then." Xiang Nan nodded and said gratefully, "Guys, it's an honor to be with you all."

“We are equally honored,” Samir, the chief, and Charlie all nodded in agreement.

“You have shown me the meaning of life,” the chief said.

He didn't care who won or lost the war; he only cared about making more money on both sides.

But yesterday, when they rescued a village of people and saw their excitement after being saved, the chief felt that there was nothing more precious than that.
