Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"I can't help it. I've tried my best, but when I think about Sophia standing in front of me looking at me, you know what that line is, it's just so hard to say."
"I don't understand you! Bro, this is just a confession, bro. The proposal that followed... wow! It's really... I should have had Weilong bring Luna over earlier, so he could show you how to say sweet nothings."
Mai Xiaowen: Luo Yi, what do you mean? Why did you only call Luna over? Are you looking down on me? Let me tell you, I'm just too lazy to flirt with Xiao Hao. I have enough charm on my own, you know?
"Alright, alright, you guys still haven't finished? Xiao Hao has already mixed the drinks. Said, do you have any hidden injuries? Just drink this and it'll all be healed in one go."
Wei Long handed the cocktail he had just mixed to Said, who looked at the glowing liquid in his hand with some confusion and asked:
"This...it's definitely not Xiaohao who added fluorescent agent, right? No, Xiaohao wouldn't do that, so why is it glowing?"
Seeing that Said was still dawdling there, Wei Long urged him on:
"Alright, stop babbling. Hurry up and drink this, take off your mask, and go confess your love. Oh, and I'll have Abel tell the kitchen to prepare a big feast for lunch to celebrate. Roy, it's up to you. Ten minutes at most, or you'll be the number one criminal at lunchtime and won't get any food, understand?"
Upon hearing what Wei Long said, Roy immediately looked at Said and told him to add another pork knuckle to his plate before urging Said not to waste any more time.
"Don't rush, I'll drink it."
Said downed his cocktail in one gulp, then glanced at Roy and Red Wolf with some curiosity. He drank it all, and then what?
Before Said could even voice his question, he felt a warm sensation spreading through his body, and at the same time, he felt his face begin to itch.
"What happened? My face? And what's this on my body?"
Seeing Said's performance mirroring that of Veyron back then, Roy and Red Wolf were unsurprised. Looking at Said's bewildered expression, Roy replied:
"I told you, after you drink the wine that Xiao Hao mixes, all your old and hidden injuries will be completely healed, and your disfigured face will recover in no time."
"Wait, Xiao Hao has such a freakish skill? Does that mean he's invincible and can't die at all?"
Said was also amazed by the changes happening to him. Xiao Hao was really amazing; he could come up with something that was beyond his comprehension.
"Dream on! You're still alive? This thing can only fully restore you the first time. After the second time, the effect will be halved. That guy Wei Long has personally tested it. Otherwise, Xiao Hao would have gotten it for you already. We originally planned to save this for when we were about to die."
Faced with Said's naive idea, Roy said mercilessly, "If he were really that powerful, Xiao Hao would probably be arrested by those organizations. Moreover, only Xiao Hao could do that alone, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Then you mustn't say anything out of the blue. You absolutely mustn't let the Hafk Group or Reis and those people know that Xiao Hao actually has this ability."
After hearing this, Said spoke seriously, and Roy rolled his eyes at him.
"You don't need to tell us that. Of course we won't tell anyone. You should think about what's going to happen later. How are you feeling now? Is your face better?"
After hearing this, Sayyid turned around, took out his phone, turned on the selfie mode, and then took off the mask that he had been wearing all along.
Upon seeing himself on the phone, Sayed felt a lump in his throat. Looking at his restored face, Sayed turned away with tears in his eyes.
"Holy crap, who the hell are you?! Old Sai, don't tell me this is what you used to look like?"
Upon seeing Said's restored face, Roy and Red Wolf stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the "unfamiliar" Said before them.
"No, you look so kind? I thought you used to look rather fierce."
Chapter 633 Sofia's Touching Moments
"Bullshit! You can't say anything nice. Don't you know what 'your appearance reflects your heart' means? Someone as honest and kind as me, what's wrong with being so handsome? Let me tell you, back in my village, I was a real heartthrob, you know?"
But the thought of the village destroyed by fire filled Said with despair once more. Looking at his reborn self, he glanced at Roy with some doubt:
"You know... should I wait until Asara is liberated before I go and express my feelings to Sofia?"
Roy stopped talking and showed his thoughts through his actions. He called Red Wolf over, and the two of them grabbed Said on either side, and then walked towards the administration building.
"Wait, wait, wait. What's there to wait for? Tell me. Isn't this just you being a coward and making up so many excuses? Come on, come on. Anyway, I've already told you everything I needed to say and teach you. You'll have to figure out the specifics yourself, okay?"
The closer Said got to the administration building, the faster his heart beat. His blood was rushing to his head, and he quickly put his mask back on. Seeing Roy trying to take it off again, Said pleaded:
"Don't move! I'll take it off when I talk to Sophia, but not now!"
Seeing that Said had said that, Roy withdrew his hand that had been about to do something wrong, and sighed inwardly. This Said... he's still too thin-skinned.
"You're here?"
After shakily making his way to the second floor, Said saw Zhang Hao and the others outside the door, including Raven and Nameless, who had been brought over by Abel.
"Go for it, boss! I knew I hadn't made a mistake shipping you. You and Sophia are a match made in heaven! You handle external affairs while she manages the home, you're practically invincible! Go ahead with confidence, I believe you won't let us down!"
Looking at the crowd before him, Said took a deep breath, then gazed at Abel and the Nameless One with a somber expression:
"You two, did you already know? When exactly did you see it? Never mind, I'll settle the score with you when I get out."
Zhang Hao then stepped forward, patted Said on the shoulder, and encouraged him:
"Uncle Saeed, don't be so nervous. Maybe this is just a natural progression? I'm going to cook a nice meal for everyone now. I'll wait for you to come out so we can have a proper celebration!"
Hearing Zhang Hao say that, or perhaps it was the effect of Zhang Hao's "charm of language," Sayed felt that he was not as nervous as before. He nodded and then pushed the door open and went inside.
"Wow, although this scene is quite rare to see, it feels like when I was in school and went to the teacher's office, we all looked like we were going to our deaths."
Wei Long's words were agreed upon by everyone. Although it was unclear why Wei Long would say that going to the teacher's office was like sacrificing oneself heroically, it was probably the same idea.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
When Said entered the office, he saw Sofia standing by the window. The moment he saw Sofia, Said's heart began to pound. He took a deep breath and then, as if he were going all out, walked directly to Sofia's side.
“Sofia.......I.........”
As Said looked into Sophia's beautiful, black pearl-like eyes, the words he had been thinking about for so long stuck in his throat again. And so, the office fell silent once more.
Said: Ugh! You stubborn idiot, hurry up and think of something! What are you doing? Didn't you have everything planned out? Why did you suddenly fall silent when you were in front of Sophia?!
Sofia chuckled softly as she looked at Said, who had suddenly fallen silent in front of her. She then pulled Said to sit on a nearby sofa and, gazing at him quietly, said gently:
"No rush, take your time to think it over. I'll stay right here, and we can talk about it when you've made up your mind."
Said forced himself to calm down, and many of the words Roy had taught him flashed through his mind, some poetic and some cheesy, but none of them were what Said wanted.
Sayed said that what he wanted was to say what was in his heart, not through these fancy words, which didn't sound like something Sayed would say.
"Sophia! I like you! I like you so much, really. I'm not good at saying sweet nothings, but I... I will definitely prove it with my actions."
"Although I don't know when I fell in love with you, right now, my heart won't lie to me. I probably can't live without you. If you leave, I will definitely chase after you and bring you back. If you are kidnapped, I will also lead the people from the dam to rescue you."
"I used to be a bit insecure. I really felt that I wasn't good enough for you. I'm not very educated, although you taught me a lot later. My face was also disfigured, as you've seen... Although Xiao Hao has healed it now, in my eyes, you are the best woman in the world, and I must protect you."
Said rambled on and on, pouring out all the things that had been on his mind. Although he felt that a normal confession shouldn't be like this, after saying it all, Said felt a sense of relief.
"So... what do you think, Sophia?"
After Sayed finished speaking, he looked at Sofia with pitiful eyes. After seeing Sayed's appearance and hearing his heartfelt words, Sofia smiled and took off his mask.
"I told you, no matter if you're disfigured or not, you're still the most handsome. Also, don't underestimate yourself. Your excellence has been certified by both me and Xiao Hao. In my eyes, you're the best, you know?"
Sofia looked at Said, and tears of joy began to well up in her eyes.
Chapter 634 Success!
"Said, do you know how long I've waited for you to say that? I like you too, understand, you idiot? Don't be so cautious anymore."
"Besides, Xiaohao and I already discussed it beforehand. If you, you blockhead, can't say it or get stuck, it means I'm confessing my love to you, understand? Then, you'll be my little darling, you know?"
Sofia smiled and joked with Said, saying that this day had come so suddenly, and her heart was filled with surprise and excitement.
"Idiot, what are you still doing here at a time like this? Don't you know you should say something?"
After saying that, Sofia looked at Said's "innocent" face and couldn't help but sigh. Then, in the sunlight shining through the window, her shadow gradually overlapped with Said's shadow.
Outside the office, several grown men were squatting on the ground, cracking sunflower seeds. Wei Long, while expertly cracking sunflower seeds, said:
"Does a normal confession process really take this long? The smell of food coming from Xiao Hao's place is already wafting out, but there doesn't seem to be any movement from them at all?"
After Roy finished cracking open his own sunflower seeds, he casually grabbed a handful from Raven's hand and, while cracking them open, said:
"Who knows? Anyway, I went to a hotel with my wife right after I confessed my feelings. I was determined to win when I went there."
Raven stared blankly at the handful of sunflower seeds missing from its hand, and also stared wide-eyed at Roy.
Damn it, do I even know this thing? I'm just a newbie at eating sunflower seeds, how could you just snatch it from my hand?
"Hey! If you ask me, our boss Said is probably stuck in that spot. Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me so embarrassed for him."
"But based on my understanding of the relationship between Boss Said and Sophia, even if Boss Said makes a mistake, Sophia would probably confess her feelings to him directly."
Abel stroked his chin, thinking that if the scenarios he had just imagined actually occurred, Sophia would definitely not stand there and let the situation turn cold.
Abel: This is my perspective and confidence as a professional geek.
Just then, the office door, which had been tightly closed, opened, and the bored crowd came out one after another. After seeing Said and the shy Sophia walk out together, Roy immediately offered his blessings.
"999999999, come on, let's give our blessings to this newlywed couple! You're still sitting here eating sunflower seeds, get up and start eating these two!"
Seeing the raven still eating sunflower seeds on the side, Roy pulled him up with a look of disappointment and then made him clap along with the others.
"Oh, thank you, thank you! Why are you being so polite? Come on, let's go out for a meal to celebrate!"
Although Saeed was wearing a mask and his expression couldn't be seen, anyone could feel his heartfelt joy and excitement.
"Oh, come on, come on, we've finally got this sorted out for you. By the way, how did you talk to Sophia back then? You weren't so shy that you couldn't say a word, were you?"
Roy also walked to the side and put his arm around Said's shoulder, asking in a cheeky manner:
"Go away, do I look like that kind of person? I'm awesome, okay?"
Said, annoyed, punched Roy in the chest. Roy was always making fun of him; as expected, nothing good came out of a dog's mouth.
"Hey! Everyone's here! Sister Sophia... It looks like everything went very smoothly! Uncle Said, congratulations to you both! Congratulations on your happy ending!"
As Zhang Hao arrived in the kitchen, he happened to be carrying a pot of chicken soup. Seeing Sofia's sweet smile, Zhang Hao immediately offered his blessings to the two of them.
"Yeah, thank you, Xiao Hao. I feel like if it weren't for your drink, Said wouldn't have talked to me so much in the office."
Sophia smiled and thanked Zhang Hao as she recalled how Said had become so hesitant and then bravely expressed his thoughts in the office.
"Alright, I've finished making the soup, everyone can start eating now. Aren't you guys going to have some? Especially your Uncle Saeed, aren't you going to come and celebrate properly?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the steaming, fragrant dishes on the table and rushed to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
The happiest of all were Roy and Weilong. Today, they not only got to eat some gossip, but also got a free meal cooked by Xiaohao. The two of them took out their phones and started snapping pictures of the food on the table.
Roy then posted it directly in the Special Operations Department's group chat, and even tagged Zhang Hao's three extremely jealous sisters in a boastful manner.
"Hehehe, I usually eat the food made by Shenlan, but today I finally got to eat the delicious food made by Xiaohao. Oh dear, it looks like I have to eat my fill today."
