"Xian'er, what's going on? The main system suddenly notified me that our mission is complete. What exactly did you do?"

Xiao Ba's voice came through, tinged with surprise.

Huang Xian'er was also very confused. She replied, "Actually, I don't know either. I just exchanged a few words with my 'ex-husband'."

She herself could hardly believe that the task was completed so easily.

Xiao Ba then asked, "Now that the mission is complete, Xian'er, what do you plan to do? Will you choose to leave this world, or continue living here until you grow old?"

Huang Xian'er pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I have decided to stay in this world. Although my mission is complete, I have not yet achieved my own life goals."

As she spoke, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, "I can't give up like this. Huo Jue and I have only just begun our relationship. It's too early to say goodbye now."

Moreover, there are still many wonderful things in this world waiting for me to explore and learn. I want to accumulate more knowledge and skills to lay a solid foundation for any future tasks.

Meanwhile, Huo Jue reluctantly bid farewell to Huang Xian'er and returned home. Although it was late at night, he was still very excited.

He picked up his phone and shared the photo of him and Huang Xian'er, which Huang Mingyue had secretly taken, in the family group chat.

He added a simple caption: "Girlfriend," and then turned off his phone.

Lying in bed, Huo Jue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with wonderful plans for the future.

He wanted to work harder, improve his position and status, and create a happier and more fulfilling future for his loved ones.

Huo Jue sat up in bed when his alarm clock rang promptly at 6 a.m. He was already used to not sleeping all night.

During those missions, it was common for him to go without sleep for several days and nights in a row, but today, he was unusually excited.

As soon as the phone was turned on, it was bombarded with a barrage of notification sounds. Luckily, it was a certain brand of phone, otherwise it would have been completely stuck and unusable.

All of this information came from the family group chat, and the picture Huo Jue shared last night caused a small commotion.

Although Mr. Huo is old, he is a light sleeper and wakes up before five o'clock to listen to the news replay.

When he accidentally saw the picture in the group, he was so excited that he almost woke his sleeping wife.

Fortunately, Mr. Huo showed his wife this precious photo in time, thus averting a "domestic violence" incident.

After carefully examining the document, the two elderly people couldn't wait to call Huo Jue's parents.

So, the four elders launched a barrage of messages at Huo Jue in the group chat:

"Go and submit your marriage application quickly!" Old Master Huo spoke first.

"When can we visit the girl's family?" Mr. Huo asked immediately.

"What kind of gift should I prepare for my future daughter-in-law?" Huo's mother joined the discussion.

"Oh my, I can start thinking of names for our little grandson right now!" Grandma exclaimed excitedly.

...Looking at the string of messages in the group, Huo Jue couldn't help but frown slightly and take a deep breath.

Deep down, he longed to walk down the aisle with his beloved tomorrow, but it all depended on Xian'er's wishes.

Huo Jue hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to send a message in the group chat, thinking that if she didn't, her phone would probably never be quiet again today.

"We are working hard to get the news, and we will let everyone know as soon as we have any good news." The wording of this message was so serious that it sounded like a work report.

Shortly after the message was sent, my phone was bombarded with a barrage of message notifications.

"Why isn't it done yet? You can't maintain this attitude. Remember when your mother and I..."

The message, which hadn't been fully sent, seemed to have come to an abrupt end amidst some chaos, perhaps due to some unpleasant incident.

"I'm starting to worry that someone will poach you from your job." This sentence is full of a mother's unique concern and love.

"Never give up, forge ahead bravely, and be strong and enterprising." This is definitely Mr. Huo's style, firm and full of strength.

"Grandson, don't be afraid, just do it. If you really can't do it, Grandma can help too."

The grandmother, who had always longed for a daughter or granddaughter, spoke with a tone full of doting affection and anticipation.

Huo Jue rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. He replied helplessly in the group chat, "Okay, I'm going back to the unit."

When Huo Jue returned to the army to resume his leave, his old superior immediately noticed the difference in him. "You're all smiles, kid. Did you manage to win over a girl?"

"Report: She's not my wife yet, we're just boyfriend and girlfriend for now."

Huo Jue smiled bitterly to himself. He hadn't expected everyone to be so concerned about his private life. It was really not easy for an older single man to find a partner.

The leader took a document out of his drawer and handed it to Huo Jue: "She'll become your wife sooner or later, so fill out the marriage application first."

Huo Jue's face twitched even more violently now. How could one after another, they seemed more anxious than he was to find a wife?

He had the same idea and planned to make another effort to get Xian'er married to him as soon as possible.

There are too many temptations outside; it's safer to bring her into our territory sooner rather than later.

Huo Jue took the application form back to her dormitory, casually placed it on the table, and then went to change her clothes.

Just then, his three roommates returned from training and saw the marriage application form on the table.

Lei Ming asked curiously, "Old Chen, is this application form yours?"

The man surnamed Chen shook his head. "How could it be mine? I don't even have a girlfriend."

"Xiao Fang, is this yours?" Xiao Fang has a baby face and looks much younger than his actual age.

Xiao Fang shook his head, "It's not mine either. Although I have a girlfriend, I haven't considered marriage yet."

The other three were touched by Xiao Fang's Versailles-like words, since Xiao Fang was the youngest among the four, yet the only one with a girlfriend.

The three sat around the dilapidated table, looking at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

"Could it be Old Huo's?" They spoke almost simultaneously, as if struck by the news. The "Ice-Faced Yama" was getting married overnight.

“Yes, it’s mine.” Huo Jue changed into neat clothes and came out of the house.

Seeing his three friends' stunned expressions, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What, can't I submit a marriage certificate?" His voice carried a hint of mockery.

"You have a girlfriend? Really?" one person couldn't help but question, their voice full of doubt.

"You got a girlfriend in one night? Where did you find her?" another person asked, seemingly trying to find a loophole in the story.

"Could we have run into a scammer?" The last person joined in the doubt, and three pairs of eyes, filled with worry, suspicion, and questioning, stared intently at Huo Jue.

Faced with a barrage of questions from her friends, Huo Jue felt her headache worsen.

"Can't you three have a kind heart towards me?" He sighed helplessly. "Isn't my investigative ability enough to distinguish between truth and falsehood?"

“We don’t believe you unless you show us photos,” the three said in unison, insisting on seeing evidence.

Helpless, Huo Jue had no choice but to take out her phone, find that precious group photo, and show it to them.

"This is a photo of the two of us, isn't it beautiful!" He said with a hint of pride.

In the photo, a stunningly beautiful woman, as lovely as an elf, nestled shyly beside Huo Jue.

Huo Jue carefully held her hand, and a sweet atmosphere seemed to fill the air between them.

Even through the photos, you can feel that unique atmosphere.

He then quickly pressed the lock screen button, saying, "Okay, I've seen the photos, don't bother me while I fill out the form."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Wow, was that a real person?" a friend asked in surprise, still unable to tear his eyes away from the scene.

"Isn't Old Huo just acting like a womanizer?" another friend quipped, a joke they often made between them.

“No wonder Lao Huo has been single for 30 years and is still a virgin. If it were me, I would be willing too…” the last friend said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
