Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 334 Marriage?

The next day, just as dawn broke, Jing Chen slowly opened her eyes, looking at the empty space beside her, with only a rag doll on her pillow. She glanced slightly out the window; Xin Zheng was standing there, gazing at the scenery.

Jing Chen slowly propped herself up. Her heart heard the voice from the other side and turned to smile at Jing Chen, saying, "Good morning."

The cherry blossoms outside are already in bloom, their pink blossoms adding a touch of color and hope to this otherwise lifeless dormitory.

Jing Chen stood behind Xin, leaning slightly closer to her, and together they admired the blooming cherry blossoms outside the window.

"It's so beautiful," Jing Chen said.

Xin nodded. "Mm."

The scene outside the window was so peaceful, with cherry blossom petals fluttering in the air. This sight completely relaxed Jing Chen. He hadn't felt so relaxed since arriving here.

Mei was summoned to the command room by Hatch. Hatch told Mei, "We'll be abandoning Mistiltein soon, so please be prepared to leave at any time."

"Give up...why so suddenly?" Ichigo asked, somewhat shocked.

"Because the situation has changed. When the next supply ship arrives, we'll board it directly and head to the operator containment facility," Hatch said.

Mei didn't say anything, just stared intently at Hachi. They'd been ignoring us before.

As she pondered this, Mei glanced at the monitor on the side. Ten images on it were exceptionally clear, showing the surveillance footage from their dormitory.

So you've been watching all along.

……

"Are you alright? Your illness." Goro sat on the ground leaning against the wall, covering his head, while Jingchen stood to the side, bending over to ask.

"Hmm...it's not that serious anymore." Goro put his hand down and said to Jingchen with a smile.

Jing Chen straightened up and said, "Wei Lai also had a fever a few days ago."

"Everyone has some questions, right?" Goro said.

As soon as Goro finished speaking, Ichigo came out of the command room. Jingchen and Goro both looked over. When Ichigo came out of the command room, the expression on her face was hard to describe; it could only be described as somewhat complicated.

"Ichigo, what's wrong?" Goro asked. Hearing Goro's voice, Ichigo quickly snapped out of her daze.

The three people stood in the elevator. The view outside the elevator window was no longer the glittering city it once was, but a gray ruin.

In the elevator, Ichigo told Jingchen and Goro everything Hatch had told her. Not only was Ichigo surprised, but Goro was also somewhat astonished.

"Give up...?" Goro said.

"Can't we stay here?" Ichigo asked.

Goro said, "We barely have enough food for a few days, and besides, Mistiltein himself won't last much longer."

Jing Chen nodded. "Indeed, it's remarkable that Mistertin has managed to persevere this long. Besides, what will they do in the future if they continue to stay here? The environment here is no longer suitable for them to stay."

With heavy hearts, the three strolled through the dormitory area. Withered leaves, yellowed grass, a dried-up riverbed, and a cracked "dome."

Goro looked up at a flock of birds flying overhead and said, "Living here... now that I think about it, it's not so bad."

"But we can't stay here anymore, it's a bit lonely," Ichigo said.

"But there's nothing we can do now. After all, this place can only be considered a birdcage, and we are the birds trapped in this cage."

"A wedding?" Everyone was surprised, including Jing Chen.

He never expected that at this crucial moment, such a suggestion would suddenly pop up.

The future asked, "What is that?"

"For humans in the past, it seemed to be a kind of contractual ritual, regardless of illness or health, until death separated the two people, to stay together until death. That's what marriage is, that's what this book says," Man said.

In the living room, on the small table in the middle, sat a book whose origins were unknown. Just from the cover, Jing Chen knew it was definitely not something the children could possibly have access to. But where did it come from?

"Who's getting married?" Mirai asked.

"Jingchen and Xin," Man said.

Jing Chen was stunned. He was getting married, how come he didn't know? Tai He looked at Jing Chen and Xin in shock. Xin looked shy, while Jing Chen was completely bewildered.

"I thought it was fantastic after hearing it from Man..." I thought to myself.

Jing Chen covered his forehead. There was nothing he could do; the script was already written, so he could only follow it.

"Well, so we've decided... we absolutely must have a wedding before we leave here," Jing Chen said.

Goro crossed his arms and said helplessly, "You guys just got scolded, how dare you."

"How romantic! I'll support you two," Future said with a look of envy.

Heimu, resting his chin on his hand, said, "I don't know what's going on, but if I can create my last memories here... uh, oh no."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at Tai beside her. Tai was trembling all over, as if she was enduring something.

Feeling a little worried, she said, "Tai, um... I..."

She wanted to comfort Tai, but for some reason, she couldn't say anything. Suddenly, Tai raised his right hand and pointed fiercely at a figure resembling the Godfather on the open page of the book, saying, "I want to play this role! No matter what you say, I'll do it!" As Tai raised his head to speak, tears were clearly visible in the corners of his eyes.

"I... I want to send my blessings to Xin and Jingchen from the nearest place..."

Hearing Tai's words, I was deeply moved. I closed my eyes, and a very healing smile appeared on my lips as I left Tai: "Thank you, Tai."

"Now that you've made up your mind, let's get started on the preparations," Goro said.

"When are you getting married? How come I didn't know, Darling?" Ling Er's ambiguous smile appeared in front of Jing Chen. Jing Chen's lips twitched, and before he could speak, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.

Turning her head, she saw it was Mei pinching her own soft flesh. Mei said with a half-smile, "How come I didn't know? Jingchen? With me, with Ling'er, with the sisters from Baihuayuan, aren't you satisfied?"

"This...this...this isn't my fault, I didn't even know about this myself..." Jing Chen explained.

……

Xin looked at the drawing on the bed. The drawing depicted a woman wearing a very beautiful dress. Xin asked, "Is this a formal dress?"

"Yes, the clothes I'll wear to the wedding," Zero Two said.

"How beautiful," I thought to myself.

Ling Er said, "It might look even better if Darling had drawn it."

"No, no, no, your drawing is really beautiful," I thought to myself.

"Thank you." Zero Two paused for a moment, then smiled and said thank you anyway.

"But can we make it ourselves? What materials do we need?" he wondered.

……

Mirai and Ichigo went to remove the curtains in the room and folded them neatly. Mirai said helplessly, "Using curtains as a dress, you've got a really quick mind."

"It's white anyway, so it's just right," Ichigo said.

Suddenly, when she saw the flowers in the vase on the windowsill and glanced at the doll on the bed, she remembered the people from the 13th Unit who had been with them.

Ichigo also saw what the future looked like, and murmured to herself, "Our possibility...?"

My gaze drifted to the table beside me, or more precisely, to the group photo on the table. Looking up, on the top shelf, Ichigo spotted a camera.

……

"This is..." Goro looked at the exquisite ring in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

"That's a wedding ring. I made it using the materials I had available. The materials were simple and the time was too short, so this is the best I could do," Jing Chen said.

The ring is exquisitely crafted, with silver-white as its main color. Numerous lines intertwine in a regular pattern, seemingly chaotic yet undeniably elegant. One ring features a wing; this is just one example. The other ring is similar, but with a wing on the opposite side.

One ring is the left wing, and the other ring is the right wing.

"That's wonderful, I'm sure you'll be happy," Goro said.

"I hope so."

……

Everyone was busy, except for Mumu, who was playing football in the yard. After playing for a while, he finally got the ball under his feet and turned around to see Man and Tai moving chairs.

"Is this about right?" Tai asked.

"Hmm," Man replied.

A gentle breeze stirred, and cherry blossom petals drifted down one after another. Mitsuru and Tai simultaneously looked up at the cherry tree growing beside their dormitory. Tai snapped out of his reverie, looked at Mitsuru, took two steps back, and shouted, "Mitsuru!" before kicking the ball at him. Mitsuru stopped the ball and stepped on it.

He gestured for the ball to be kicked back, while shouting, "Hey, pass the ball!"

He kicked the ball back with one foot, caught it with his eyes, and then kicked it to Tai.

……

Ichigo opened the door and came in. Looking at Ikuno on the bed, she asked, "Ikuno, are you still awake?" Then she sat down on the bedside.

"You still feel unwell, do you have a fever?" Ichigo asked.

"It's not that kind of discomfort, don't worry," Yu Nai said, turning around.

Ichigo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Um, did something happen between you and those people from '9'?"

Yu Nai was a little confused, wondering why Ichigo suddenly asked that question.

"I've never seen Yuu Nai get that angry before," Ichigo said, recalling what happened that day.

That day, before Jing Chen arrived, Alpha had already put pressure on him once, but neither Jing Chen nor Xin were there that time. Faced with such sudden pressure, no one could sit idly by, so they inquired about the reason. (This is the original plot without any modifications; I won't go into further details.)

Before α could finish speaking, Yuu suddenly rushed over and slapped α, then yelled something.

Hearing Ichigo's words, Ikuno also recalled what happened that day. She lay flat, looking at the upper bunk. "It's nothing."

"Oh, sorry, I got the wrong idea. Yeah, if I wasn't angry then, when would I be? Thank you, I was angry because of Xin and Jingchen."

"No, it's not for them," Yu Nai suddenly said.

Hearing Ikuno's words, Ichigo was somewhat surprised and asked, "Then why?"

"Want to know?" Yuu sat up, moved closer to Ichigo, and asked, "Do you really want to know about me?" As she spoke, Yuu untied her headband, and her hair, which had been clipped in, instantly fell down.

"Ikuno, wait..."

After taking off her headband, Yuuko pounced on Ichigo and knocked her onto the bed.
