"The counting of paper ballots has been completed last week, and the counting of electronic ballots will be completed within three working days. The results of the general election will be announced in three days.

"Given the statistical trend of the first round of electronic ballots, Dylan may continue to maintain the lead in electronic ballots until the end of the general election.Commander, what impact will it have on District 2? We have invited several political and military experts from East 3 to interpret this result for us..."

"Robert has already shot." Rosie whispered.He also didn't care whether Deng Huailing noticed that he was pretending to be sleeping and acting like a baby, staring at the screen solemnly, "The previous week was a paper ballot that was more troublesome to manipulate. He was on par with another candidate, which shows real support.The rate is a little bit against him. He's going to make a big fuss about electronic ballots."

"Actually, if you want to lean on my shoulders, you don't need to find a reason, just lean on it." Deng Huailing said, "For CyberRose, it is not difficult to falsify electronic ballots. I can understand this. But even the second district nightWouldn’t the news hosts be able to see the fraud, wouldn’t it arouse public outrage in the main city?”

He has lived in the main city for ten years, and he knows that Cecina is not as peaceful as the media makes it out to be.The passionate parade and the police who fired shots to disperse the team are simply the fixed landscape of this city.

He and Rosie have also seen the mighty New Year's parade. People from all walks of life held sharp slogans. If Rosie hadn't scrapped the government's spider tank that day, these people might have been killed by the tank.

Rosie leaned over again, buried her face on Deng Huailing's shoulder, and sighed softly: "Robert doesn't care about this. The city of Cesina is already a plaything in his hands, and he can play with public opinion as he wants. Public anger is not a threatThe only thing he is afraid of right now is me, but he hasn't completely taken over Cesina's military power yet, so he can't spare to deal with me."

"He seems to have always had disagreements with the military." Deng Huailing remembered, "I heard that the day you rescued me from the municipal center, Robert missed a good opportunity because he failed to mobilize the air force in time."

"Cecina's army nominally obeys the mayor, but most of the top military officers are stubborn generals. The fathers of those people have been honored senior officers since the day the city was founded, and even Robert can't shake their status..”

The military is where Rosie once aspired to be, and he is well aware of the power structure inside, "Even if Robert builds his own task force and can command combat androids at will, there are still tens of thousands of human soldiers in the army, and if they rebel, will be troublesome."

"According to Robert's character, he should have gotten rid of those generals long ago. Is he waiting for the general election for the delay?" Deng Huailing deduced.He didn't care much about politics until he was around Rosie, but the bounty hunter's powerful logic allowed him to easily follow Rosie's train of thought.

"That's right. It's always unwise to act at the end of the term, but if Robert wins the election and the new term begins, everything will be very different." Rosie squinted her eyes, and her tender eyes were a little bitchill.

He moved Deng Huailing's shoulder twice, and adjusted to a comfortable position, "I always feel that Robert still has cards that we don't know about. He never does things that are not sure. Once he makes a move against the military, he will definitelyIt can be done quickly.”

"When he takes over the army, he will declare war on the second district." Deng Huailing also stared coldly at the figure of Robert on the screen. The elegant mayor was delivering a campaign speech to the crowd, "He won't let goAfter crossing the second district, I will not let you go. Since I read your memory, I feel that there will be a more tragic war between you... Bloody Christmas is far from the end of everything."

For a while, Rosie leaned on the other's shoulder and didn't speak.The capsule train speeds along the inner wall of the translucent tunnel, and the thin wind slips past the car like a whistle.He slowly raised his hand and put it on Deng Huailing's. His palm was hot, it was the scorching hotness of fearlessness rather than the coldness of fear.

"We're going to win." Rosie said softly, feeling the rumble of the train, "Robert doesn't understand what I'm betting on this war—if I lose, I'll lose the people of Sector Two,Losing all my living friends and dead confidantes, and finally, my beloved."

"If he tried to play roulette with an all-or-nothing gambler, he'd be reeling from it."

"I haven't come to see this apartment since I asked the logistics officer to buy it." In the long and narrow corridor, the cream-colored ceiling light cast a melting light on Rosie's body. In the patio outside the corridor, the artificial sunlight has dimmed.The floor revealed a warm halo, "The apartments in the dungeon are all small in size, I bought the largest one at the end of the corridor, but it is only a little more spacious than your residence in the hive, not some luxurious leader's villa."

It took the two of them all the way from the military hospital to get here, from boarding the bustling hub train to the last capsule that can accommodate only seven people, it took a total of half an hour.Although the speed of the capsule train was much faster than expected, it was completely dark and the light of the setting sun disappeared. They passed the corridor and happened to meet a family going to the cafeteria together, and the noise echoed in the corridor.

"It doesn't matter." Deng Huailing bypassed a rampaging boy, and said indifferently, "I can live in any small place, as long as a bed is enough."

Rosie's eyes were a little unnatural: "Well, the saying that there is actually only one bed...isn't very accurate. I sent a sleeping bag over temporarily. If you mind sharing a bed with me, I can sleep on the floor."

"Sleeping on the floor? Why?" Deng Huailing looked at the lover in front of him who was hesitant to speak, feeling puzzled.He recalled Rosie who was sleeping on the cat cushion, Rosie must have bumped his head suddenly and thought he was his bionic, right?

They came to the end of the corridor, and there was a sleeping bag stacked neatly in front of the door.Rosie wants to hug the sleeping bag: "I, I mean, if you mind..."

"I don't mind." Before Rosie finished speaking, Deng Huailing grabbed Rosie's wrist, kicked open the sleeping bag at the door, took out the key and opened the door.The light from the corridor is vaguely reflected in the door, outlining a dark and quiet outline, and the furniture is sleeping in the shadows.

He sensed that Rosie had unspoken words in her mind, and those unspoken words made his lover gradually tense and heated up, like a bag of quicklime slowly dampened.Rosie's expression could not be seen in the dark, Deng Huailing signaled her to wait in place, went into the apartment and fumbled for the switch, and then the room was brightly lit.

A simple and clean apartment was presented in front of them. As Rosie said, the area was only slightly larger than Deng Huailing's original apartment, and the layout was almost the same.However, the decoration is much more refined than the original residence. Although the materials are not extravagant, it is just pasted with warm-colored wallpaper and floor, and the cheap and solid furniture, which suddenly makes people feel like "this is home".

After Deng Huailing got the keys, Rosie sent him a layout diagram of the apartment and asked him for his opinion.It was drawn by Rosie herself during her break time. The pattern is crooked, and the gaps are filled with fine markings, which are used as a reference for the logistics officer who arranged the apartment.Of course Deng Huailing has no objection, he can do whatever he wants, he is just a little surprised that Rosie is more keen on planning their life than he expected.

He walked into every room, and all the daily necessities were in pairs, pairs of striped plates and knives and forks, pairs of lovers' pajamas, two pillows side by side on the sofa, hippos and crocodiles with cross-eyed eyes by the doorShaped slippers, both hippopotamus and crocodile expressions are a bit silly.

Entering the bedroom, Deng Huailing opened the first shelf of the bedside table casually, and couldn't help raising the corners of his lips when he saw what was inside. This probably wasn't because the logistics officer was being smart—no official would speculate on the leader's sex life without authorization, unless he suspectedLife is too long.The things in the drawer should be Rosie's list and sent logistics officer to purchase.

This is their new home.Deng Huailing closed the drawer and turned to look at Rosie. The other party was standing in front of the floor lamp in the living room, peeling off the bouquet in his hand, and inserting eustoma into a vase filled with water. There was a little light on the drooping eyelashes.There were no outsiders at home. Rosie took off her coat and untied her long hair. The shirt revealed a smooth back, and her jet-black hair flowed against the butterfly bone.

Sensing Deng Huailing's sight, Rosie's hands froze and almost knocked over the vase.Deng Huailing pulled the hippo slipper out and noticed a crocodile slipper with its head pointing to the floor, turning slightly in a circle, obviously its owner was in a very disturbed mood.

This kind of anxiety is also reflected in the biting lips and the thin red behind the ears. Rosie raised her head and looked at him, her bright eyes flickered, and there seemed to be some unspeakable words in her lips.

"What's the matter?" Deng Huailing stared at the other party's flushed earlobe, and couldn't help feeling hungry, since he had just had dinner in the hospital.His throat was rough and his voice was hoarse, "Is there anything you can't say to me?"

"I wanted to tell you these words the day I went to see you in the hospital, but I didn't dare at the time." Rosie forced herself to look directly into the other's eyes, not avoiding Deng Huailing's predatory brown eyes,He said sincerely, "But Huai Ling, I still feel that I should tell you clearly that cohabitation in the second district is not as simple as cohabitation."

Deng Huailing was startled: "Isn't it? I thought..."

"I know you're not familiar with the customs here, so it's not fair to you if you don't make it clear." Seeing the other party's surprised reaction, the light in Rosie's eyes dimmed a little, "The tradition of the second district, two people moved toLiving together is regarded as forming a family, which is basically the same as marriage."

"So I want to ask you, would you like to form a family with me?"

Having said this, his brewing impulse and courage were exhausted, his pale fingertips clasped his palm tightly, and he lowered his eyes.He didn't dare to look at Deng Huailing again, for fear of witnessing the other party's words of refusal, or a joking joke, even though he knew that Deng Huailing would never treat him like that, but at this moment of establishing the ultimate relationshipIn major matters, he is still inevitably timid.

Rosie waited silently for Deng Huailing's sentencing.As time passed by, his heart sank little by little.

"So you didn't invite me to live with me that day, but you were proposing marriage." Deng Huailing calmly said something inaudible, "No wonder, your face is so red."

Rosie looked up blankly, he didn't know what the other person meant.But in the next second, he understood—a shadow fell in front of his eyes, and the other party grabbed the back of his head and roughly sucked and kissed his lips. He was pushed back brutally, and had to sit on the table with his head up.Along the way, the hand propped on the table slipped and knocked over the vase.

The vase fell to the floor with its freshly inserted eustomas, and debris and water covered the floor.Rosie, however, had no time to care about the bouquet of flowers he had guarded all the way. He responded to Deng Huailing's kiss disorderly, from his lips to the side of his neck, and then to his collarbone, it was filled with the other's breath, like a lonely beast insisting onLeaves scent marks all over his body.

Deng Huailing gasped and bit his earlobe, and said, "I thought we were married a long time ago. Otherwise, what do you think is a black ring?"
