"At least we still have time."
He Kui replied.
"As long as there's time, we can negotiate, divide, and reduce the influence of Blue Cosmos, the Death Merchants, and the Atlantic Federation."
"As long as we can defeat the Death Merchants behind the scenes, we won't have to live in fear."
"Colonial satellites don't necessarily have to be owned by Coordinators; as long as we have time, we can attract more Naturals to come over."
"A ceasefire isn't the end; it's just a new beginning."
He Kui spoke earnestly, looking directly into the girl's eyes without a hint of evasion.
"Your perspective is quite interesting."
The seriousness on Lacus's face faded, and she covered her mouth with her hand, giggling softly as she moved closer to He Kui.
"Director He, choosing this place again, are you thinking of something mischievous~?"
A hint of softness and charm appeared in Lacus's eyes, yet it didn't come off as vulgar.
This made He Kui's heart race.
After all, there probably weren't many people in the entire PLANT, or even the universe, who could resist Lacus's allure.
"This is the latest research."
He placed the latest progress of the Mark Knife in front of Lacus, then leaned in to kiss her cherry lips, which were even pinker than the girl's hair.
As expected, Lacus was still playfully contesting with him with her tongue.
However, He Kui, with his better physique, clearly had the upper hand, and it wasn't long before Lacus's cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue.
He Kui's hand naturally found its way to Lacus's soft waist.
However, "Not yet."
Lacus pressed his hand down, her face adorned with a mischievous smile that was utterly captivating.
"I'm just afraid Lacus might fall."
"Is that so~?"
In response to He Kui's explanation, Lacus simply gazed at him with her bright eyes.
"Exactly."
"Well then."
Lacus smiled.
He Kui's statement about the ceasefire being just the beginning resonated with her and her father's thoughts.
It further convinced Lacus that her path with He Kui was aligned.
Satisfied with the Mark Knife data, Lacus walked away, leaving He Kui to return to his room alone.
"He Kui, my sister is coming up."
After the four of them had been busy, Meyrin softly said in He Kui's embrace.
Having just experienced satisfaction, the girl's cheeks still retained a hint of a post-event blush.
Her voice sounded incredibly enchanting.
"When?"
Thinking back, He Kui realized it had indeed been a long time since he had seen Luna, and his shooting skills had stagnated as a result.
With the conflict on Earth escalating, Luna's arrival was indeed a great opportunity.
"Tomorrow."
Meyrin replied, lowering her gaze.
"What about Meyrin, is that okay?"
Though unspoken, He Kui's meaning was clearly inquiring about the matter in bed.
Originally resting her head on He Kui's chest, Meyrin couldn't help but burrow into the blanket, hiding her head under it.
Only a small tuft of bright red hair peeked out.
"Mm."
He didn't have to wait long before Meyrin's muffled voice came from under the covers.
Although she felt a bit shy about being with her sister, she was very happy to be with He Kui, and she liked both her sister and He Kui; she wanted both of them.
"But why is Luna coming at this time?"
This should be the busiest time, right? If the situation was dire, she might have to go up at any moment.
"On rotation, they say it's the last holiday before the lockdown."
"Mm."
The military academy's lockdown likely meant they were being treated as reserves.
With that thought, He Kui and Meyrin drifted off to sleep together.
The next morning, just as Meyrin had said, Luna arrived at the asteroid port. However, since she was ostensibly there to see her father,
Old Hawke and Meyrin naturally arrived on the scene as well.
"Luna, long time no see."
He Kui smiled.
"He Kui."
Seeing He Kui, Luna recalled their previous intimate encounters, and a blush crept onto her face, making her look incredibly enchanting.
"Ahem."
Observing the two, Old Hawke cleared his throat.
Heaven knows what's going on with his two daughters; they both looked at He Kui with such affectionate gazes.
To be honest, if it were just one of them, he would be quite pleased, as he was rather open-minded, and getting close to He Kui would definitely be a good thing.
He had even heard rumors that He Kui was a strong candidate for the future Speaker.
In this chaotic world, who wouldn't want safety and advancement?
And being with He Kui could fulfill both wishes at once.
But two at once… would that be too outrageous? Surely someone would accuse him of selling his daughters for personal gain? What would happen to his reputation and face?
In summary, Old Hawke was quite conflicted at that moment.
"Well then, I won't disturb you two."
After giving Luna and Meyrin a knowing look, He Kui smiled and left first.
Under the pressure of the nuclear bomb, He Kui couldn't afford to be careless.
He spent more than half the day in the radar room, and just as he stepped out, he saw Luna's silhouette alone by the outer door of the radar room.
"Luna, where are they?"
"They're eating; I've finished."
With that, Luna leaned in and kissed him.
Her warm, soft lips were as fiery as her personality, pressing against him.
She seemed to have brushed her teeth beforehand, as a faint fragrance lingered.
"I missed you so much!"
After a long while, when they finally parted, Luna's eyes were red as she softly spoke.
"I know."
He Kui gently caressed Luna's shoulders, pulling her close, the heat between them gradually rising.
Without more words, they stumbled back into the radar room, their clothes having long since vanished.
[You and Luna have experienced a passionate reunion; shooting distance +20m]
"Indeed, this is much better than just giving gifts."
He thought to himself, while Luna, riding on He Kui, looked like a valiant knight as she leaned down to wrap her arms around his neck.
"He Kui, I want to come to you!"
Luna spoke earnestly, gazing into He Kui's eyes with a hint of tenderness.
She wanted to be here, to repay He Kui, to fight for him.
"Okay, just wait a bit longer."
Luna could indeed be hired on special terms now, but Joule had already doubled the company's expansion, and there hadn't been any opportunities to bring it up recently.
Randomly asking for help would incur a debt of gratitude that would need to be repaid later.
It was better to wait until his new research was completed.
"Luna, be good and learn your skills well at school."
"Mm!"
Luna obediently replied, and her slender waist began to sway again.
"Don't you want to go find them?"
He Kui smiled, holding Luna's slim waist.
"Later."
With that, Luna had already leaned down, cutting off the rest of He Kui's words.
