Come and connect with me!

"Hi, Reno."

Reno was stunned, her face turning red. Then she snatched the communicator from Mori's hand, grabbed the towel hanging around her neck, wiped it hastily on her face, and ran out of the gym in a hurry, leaving only a few words as she walked away.

"I, I'm leaving first, Mori. We'll run together next time!"

Mori stared at this series of actions in a daze, opened his mouth slightly, and then smiled with understanding.

"Oh, it does look urgent."

Wuming on the other end of the phone could only hear the faint sound of running. After ruling out the possibility that she was fighting monsters, he asked in a confused tone.

"Reno, are you okay now?"

Before Wuming finished his words, a clanging sound was heard from the other side.

"I, I'm fine."

Reno looked at the communicator nervously. At this moment, she was standing in front of the mirror in her room, looking at her posture carefully.

Her hair was messy, with a half-hanging towel draped over her shoulders. Her skin was slightly shiny from the sweat from the exercise, and she was wearing a thin brown sports shirt on her upper body, showing off her beautiful figure.

"How about we video?"

"No, no, no, I need a little time... five... not three minutes!"

Wuming was just about to show the gift he had prepared when he heard a panicked voice from the other end of the line. Then, before Wuming could respond, there was a series of clanging sounds, as if someone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Kiana blinked and looked at Reno's voice coming from the toy-like round shield in Wuming's hand.

"Is this a phone call?"

"Almost. It's just an upgraded intercom that can only communicate with certain people."

Wuming listened to the sound of the bathroom shower coming from the small shield, the sound of bare feet stepping on the floor, the sound of the wardrobe being hurriedly opened, and all kinds of chaotic sounds came at the same time, making him vaguely guess something.

Kiana finally reacted after hearing the continuous clanging sounds and the sound of dripping rain.

"Is she, is she taking a bath?"

"That should be the case. I should have contacted her later."

Wuming was thinking about Reno's usual routine, and then he discovered sadly that it coincided with his own routine. To put it simply, when Wuming was in the bedroom, Reno would probably lie down to rest at about the same time. When Wuming was working, Reno might be training. At this time, Reno would often have finished training and would play games or exercise with friends in her own time.

Having the same schedule is not tragic. What is tragic is that Reno only needs to take care of himself during most of the time, but he has to take care of a lot of people. He is busy at night and has no time during the day. If Reno hadn't reminded him this time, he would have to wait a long time before he could find time to contact her.

"It feels completely different from how it looks."

Kiana whispered.

It’s not like she hasn’t seen Reno before, but when she saw her yesterday, she only got a glimpse and seemed to be a capable and calm woman. She didn’t expect that she was like this in private.

"She looks serious, but is actually a good person."

Wuming also said in a low voice.

The communicator is still on, so we can't talk loudly about Reno.

"Well."

Kiana hummed and waited for Reno with a little anticipation.

Wuming looked at Kiana who seemed to be sitting steadily, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Should he give her a hint, tell her that even though the command room was about to become a snack room, he, as the commander, needed a little privacy occasionally, especially when meeting with Miss Reno, it would feel weird to have a light bulb hanging next to him.

Just as he was thinking this, Wuming began to shake his head.

After all, she is a stupid Kiana. Hinting at her won't work. Telling her explicitly that if she goes and complains to Yixian, she will probably be scolded. Forget it, let her come. It's just a meeting with a woman other than my wife. What's there to be afraid of?

After realizing this truth, Wuming nodded, feeling that his scumbag strength had increased and his face had become thicker.

Not long after, the clanging sounds gradually disappeared, and a projection began to appear on the small shield, which showed Reno.

"Um, hi, Nameless."

Reno appeared shyly. She was wearing a large plain shirt and was wiping the water droplets from her hair with a thick towel. Her amethyst-like eyes looked at Wuming with a little shyness.

"What do you want from me?"

There were a lot of clothes in Reno's closet, but they were basically for sports. As time was tight, she could only pick up a shirt and put it on.

"Well, remember the surprise I told you about?"

Wuming tried hard to control his gaze so that it could look at Reno's charming eyes instead of his shirt that was wet with water droplets.

Chapter 2 Gift

"Cough cough cough."

There was a sudden cough beside Wuming, which made Wuming react immediately and put on a serious face.

"Reno, I..."

"Wait, Wuming, who is she?"

Wuming understood and was about to speak, but he saw Reno turned his head and saw Kiana standing aside, and asked with some jealousy.

"She is Kiana, Kiana Kaslana, the Valkyrie who recently came to the port."

Wuming said quickly, his face calm.

"Oh, it's the Valkyrie..."

Deceived by Wuming's casual tone, Reno couldn't help but nod. Then, before she thought about what a Valkyrie did, she asked the next question unconsciously, with a hint of grievance in her tone.

"She is, is she your wife? Just like Frederick the Great, and, and the corporate predecessors?"

"No, no, no, she, she is..."

Wuming got stuck as soon as he opened his mouth.

It’s not that what happened with Kiana, but he really was a little confused about the relationship between him and Kiana.

Although he calls himself the commander, this title is just like adding the title of teacher after the surname of a teacher you meet on the street. It is just a title and does not constitute a subordinate relationship.

But it seems wrong to say that they have nothing to do with each other. Even if we put aside the years when Wuming spent money for the good, just talking about the present, she was stranded here because of her own dimensional door. Even though her future is a mess and she is destined to experience those bad fates, the fact is that she is here because of Wuming.

"she is......"

While he was still hesitating, Wuming seemed to feel a gaze, and without turning back, he knew who was looking at him.

"...My friend, in fact, the gift prepared for you also has Kiana's help."

Reno blinked, his eyes stayed on Kiana for a moment, and then he spoke a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Kiana."

Having said this, Reno suddenly reacted and said happily.

"A gift? Is it for my birthday?"

Reno laughed happily, and his tone became cheerful.

"Mo Li and the others have always said that you were lying to me. In fact, they were just trying to fool me. But I know that you, Wuming, would not lie to me."

Wuming broke out in sweat when he heard this.

What were the girls on the White Eagle side saying to Reno all day? He was so scared that he almost couldn't hold it.

"how could be......."

Wuming laughed dryly.

"Well, wait a minute, this took me a lot of effort to do."

Kiana looked at Wuming quietly from the side, angry for reasons she didn't even know.

Wuming was completely unaware and just pushed the air with his hand. The space slowly folded and eventually turned into a deep hole in the void.

He walked into the magical-looking cave, and then, under Reno's slightly expectant gaze, he slowly pushed out the Fenrir wolf, which was dyed with a black layer and emitted a faint glow in the afternoon sun. This beautiful iron guy would not be satisfied with the narrow space. The vast land and endless roads were the areas on which it depended for survival. Therefore, although the command room was not small, there was no room for the locomotive to move.

Reno stared at the dream-like motorcycle in a daze. Although he didn't say anything, his focused eyes could not help but be fixed on this handsome car.

"This, what is this?"

Reno couldn't help but hold his hands to his heart and shouted excitedly.

"It's so handsome, even more handsome than... No, that's not right, it's as handsome as, as handsome as Iron Man's armor!"

She covered her mouth halfway through her words, then with great difficulty placed the motorcycle on the left side of the scale in her heart, and at the same time placed off-field factors such as feelings, hobbies, and long-term persistence on the right side of the scale to make the two balanced.

"Where did this come from? Is it a model?"

Reno couldn't help but ask quickly.

"This is a blueprint provided by a friend of mine. Of course it can be used, but it's not a model."

Wuming introduced gently.

"friend?"

Reno's joy paused, his cheeks slightly puffed up, and he looked at Wuming angrily.

"What kind of friend would be willing to give you such a great motorcycle design?"

"It was a man who used it to deliver packages. He was a quiet guy. I didn't say much, but he gave it to me."

Wuming explained quickly.

Wuming was also a Shinra warrior in his past, controlling the little yellow-haired boy to jump up and down, complete missions, make money, get stones, and fight Sephiroth;

Two years into the game, he was still a spectator, watching the little yellow-haired boy jumping around, not completing tasks, making money, taking back stones, and fighting Sephiroth.

Even if that kid jumps out, I can still drive this car with a clear conscience.

"Well, I made the outer shell myself, but I can't do anything about the internal engine. If you're being shameless, you can just call it my work."

Wuming stroked the smooth body of the Fenrir Wolf reluctantly, then turned to look at Reno.

"I'm sorry, Reno, I don't know when your birthday is, but since I happened to meet you, I hope this motorcycle can make you happy on your birthday."

Reno looked at the motorcycle that had obviously just been polished, and his voice trembled a little.

"You did this? For me?"

Reno spoke somewhat incoherently.

The slight annoyance from before had long been forgotten, along with the slight dissatisfaction that Wuming rarely took the initiative to contact him.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't help covering her lips. While her vision was still blurry, she quickly turned her head away and wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Thank you, Wuming, this is the best and greatest gift I have ever encountered."

Birthdays in the past were not always accompanied by laughter and blessings. The battle with the Sirens seemed endless, and there was no hope of an end. If one could get together with friends on one’s birthday, blow out candles together, and make wishes, it would also be a kind of happiness. However, Reno could swear with her current mood that this would be the most unforgettable gift she had ever received.

"As long as you like it."

Wuming looked at Reno's excitement with satisfaction, feeling that the time and energy he spent were not wasted.

Kiana scratched her face in annoyance, looking at the parts on the desk, feeling that she was a bit redundant and that this set of armor was a bit of an eyesore.

Well, in that case, I might as well give them all to Reno.

Thinking of this, Kiana rubbed her boots on the floor, making a slight sound and successfully attracted Wuming's attention.

"Give her that armor too!"

Kiana lip-synced.

Wuming blinked and thought that he should give it a try. Since he had made it, it would be better to give it away.

Anyway, he has plenty of similar cosplay costumes.

"Ahem, Reno."

Wuming interrupted her mood with a low voice.

"Now there is an additional question. If you answer it correctly, there is a spare gift for you."

Reno was stunned, then cheered again.

"What else have you prepared for me? I'm so looking forward to it... Um, questions, right? Ask me."

Wuming thought about it and spoke.

"In the Justice League, there are two people who make people feel that they should be together, but in the end, for various reasons, this may not happen. Reno, do you know who it is?"
