Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 102

Shi Lang stood stiffly as the girl hugged him tightly. He only woke up when her embrace gave her slight pain. He could sense her fast-beating heart, her ragged breathing. A longing emotion brimming from her eyes and the truth in her voice. He did not expect her to be like this. After he woke up from his daze, he wrapped her arms around her waist and said, “I missed you too, my love.”

He did not hold her tightly, but calmly, as if a gentle flower in his embrace. Amelia could sense the care he held for her in his heart. His gentle voice was like a blanket for her chilling heart. Ever since they spent the evening in Mila’s cafe, she had been unable to get over that moment, when Shi Lang stood in front of unknown people, tipsy bit, and then sang a song for her.

She had recorded that moment and when sometimes she missed that moment, the video would allow her to go back in time. The two might not have a strong relationship in terms of time, yet the emotions they had inside were fueled by the loneliness they faced inside the base camps, betting their lives daily.

The two people seemed to have forgotten that the world around them existed. The soldiers in the surroundings could not help but cheer or whistle. This made the two teenagers blush while Tiberius fumed with rage. He took a deep breath to calm his anger and coughed hard.

Shi Lang raised his head to look at him while holding the girl in his arms. He asked, “Is there a problem Major?”

Tiberius replied, “If you do not care about your image, care about Lieutenant Amelia’s image. The people are watching.”

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “One, she took the initiative. Two, we are engaged. Three, she is off duty. As for her image, I do not need you to worry about, Major Tiberius, your image in the command is self-evident.”

Tiberius clenched his jaw and said, “I know that since you are an officer from another division, I cannot command you. But I have the right to command my lieutenant.

Lieutenant Knight, report back to your room, you are not allowed to meet anyone.”

Shi Lang smirked and patted Amelia on the back and said, “Baby, let me handle this.”

Amelia heard him call her baby in such a low and gentle voice, that she shivered, and then let go of him. She came to stand behind him and hid behind his back. The guy put on his mask and said, “I am here by the command of my superior. My task is a secret one and I need Lieutenant Amelia to accompany me. Here are the orders.”

He fished out a glass card from the inside pocket of his jacket and flicked it to the adjutant in the back to check. The lady blushed faintly and scanned the glass card. When the orders were confirmed of their authenticity, the adjutant nodded said, “Sir, the documents are clear.”

Tiberius clenched his teeth and Shi Lang said, “Do you have anyone around with a superior position?”

His words stabbed Tiberius right in the heart, making him hate Shi Lang even more. He did not want to say anything else. He did not need to. Tiberius nodded and said with a smirk, “They are inside the camp building, Do you know the way or shall I show you?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I am clear enough about the way around, I hope you do not by mistake walk inside the camp threshold, or we might need a dustpan to collect your… well shreds I guess. Come, Amy, you are to work beside me the next few days.”

That said, he grasped her warm palm and walked into the camp direction, without looking back. Amelia was the same, she also did not look back. Tiberius clenched his fist and was about to mumble something when his communicator rang. Influenced by how Shi Lang took away the girl he has been chasing and humiliated him in front of his entire platoon, he picked up the call and spat, “Who is it?”

A cold voice sounded in his ears, “Have you forgotten your discipline to the point where you do not greet your superiors, Major Tiberius.”

This one sentence cleared up the fog in his brain and immediately he replied, “I apologize, Sir. Major Tiberius reporting, General.”

The person on the other side was General Charlotte Knight. Incharge of the sector. She would randomly call up the base commander for checkups and ask them about all big and small activities. She was a really scary person, the last person in Tiberius’s position was changed because of his dereliction.

“Hmmm, the reason I contacted you is to make it clear that under no circumstances are you to obstruct the secret division officer who should have arrived by now. His task is very crucial, and we need him to succeed. Understood? I will be monitoring you, and I need your complete cooperation in this matter.” said the lady in a stern manner.

Tiberius was left baffled by this, he replied, “Yes, Sir.”

“Hmmm, that is all.” and the call was disconnected from the other end. In his heart, Tiberius thought that Charlotte only wanted to make a cozy environment for her daughter and son-in-law. He could not be any more wrong.

…

Shi Lang and Amelia walked to the threshold of the camp and the guy asked in a soft voice, “How have you been?”

He brushed her dirty, sticky hair aside as his gaze trailed her face as if trying to melt it under his gaze. Amelia was the same, she gazed at his face, subconsciously, touched his hair, and said, “They have grown longer. Do you not have rules in the secret division? Also, what is with your rank elevation? Did you get promoted?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I have rules, but not the time. Yes, I did get promoted, you are the first one I have told other than my crew. Do you like my surprise, Amy?” at the end of the sentence he was so soft that Amelia really thought it was a dream.

She leaned closer and her pink lips covered his rough lips. Shi Lang was not surprised and took the initiative to hold her closer to his body as they shared a loving moment. The kiss was very gentle, abstained from all the lust and physical profanity. It was a pure expression of love between two people who came in contact out of necessity.

Amelia wanted to beat Jenkins, and the latter wanted to make some gains and get a gene strengthening serum out of the deal. The two people moved away from each other after that. When they met again, they discovered something, Shi Lang could be the normal him around the girl, while the girl also did not have to put up any pretenses around him.

After that evening inside the cafe, their hearts were totally charmed by each other. Shi Lang would be lying if he said that he did not enjoy teasing her at the start. However, the relationship progressed very quickly, and the distance put up after graduation was a good thing for them.

The two broke away from the kiss when they heard a slight cough from the side. Shi Lang did not panic like Amelia, and said, “Long time no see, Instructor John.”

He turned to his left and found, John standing with his arms crossed in front of him. The man nodded and asked, “Do you plan to bring in your girlfriend?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “No, Sir, I would rather not have her step inside, as I am sure I will attempt to kill you all if you hurt her even in the slightest. You are smart enough to discern if I am lying.”

Amelia was surprised to see her fiancee talking to the instructor of the camp where not even monsters would whimper in such a tone. This was a big deal for her. She was moved by his actions. John on the other side raised his eyebrow and asked, “What if, I knock you out and then skin her alive?”

Shi Lang replied, “Please be my guest, and just in case you do not know, she is the general’s daughter. If you touch a strand of her hair without any sufficient reasons, then you will pay.” his voice did not waver. He was calm and stable.

John nodded and said, “Good, you did not lose your temper like before. You have grown up. What is the purpose of your visit?”

Shi Lang stood up straight and saluted the person as he said, “Sir, I would like to achieve the Five-star Terran cultivation level, here. By your permission.”

John nodded and said, “Welcome home Major Lang.” the man saluted him back and left.

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Amy, why are you so dazed?”

Amelia asked, “Why did you come here?”

Shi Lang embraced her in his arms and put his chin above her head as he said, “For you.”
