Chapter 722: Proposal (End)

I believe that anyone who has used this lotus candle should know how terrifying it is. It is invulnerable to water and fire. If you are lucky, this thing can last for at least three hours.

If you are unlucky, haha, this thing will make you dream of the magical eight-note electronic happy birthday song.

The most important thing is that this thing left a very deep impression on Sherlock. He recalled that before he traveled through time, Sherlock had once picked up a brand new thing of this kind. The childish nature made Sherlock light up this thing.

After that, this thing kept ringing all day long, and it didn't stop until it was time to go to bed at night. Sherlock remembered it clearly. He was beaten by the adults because of this damn thing. The reason was that Sherlock insisted on turning it on, even though they didn't allow him to.

The noise was giving him a headache and he couldn't sleep. He was ordered to stop it. Sherlock clearly remembered that he almost smashed it into powder before it stopped the repetitive eight-note electronic sound of "Happy Birthday".

As a result of this incident, until now, whenever Sherlock sees this thing, he will subconsciously think that nothing good will happen as long as this thing is lit!

But it was obvious that Sherlock, who was hiding aside, had no way to stop Tony from lighting this thing.

It has to be said that for this group of foreigners who have never seen the world, this thing is indeed novel enough. Anyway, looking at the looks of Pepper and Tony, they are both very satisfied with this candle that can sing automatically.

But unlike the other two, when that devilish eight-note electronic sound rang out, Sherlock's ominous premonition almost reached its peak.

It turns out that Sherlock's premonition has never been wrong!

When Pepper closed her eyes and made a wish, the wire that carried the light strip on the field began to emit sparks, followed by a pungent smell of burnt rubber.

The moment sparks appeared, the falcon with a chicken head on its head screamed, turned around, and rushed towards the direction where the smell came from, holding a toolbox in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other.

This was like a switch that opened Pandora's box. Before the fire of the wires on this side was dealt with, the shelves with light signs hanging on the other side began to slowly tilt forward inexplicably.

Seeing that something was wrong, the captain rushed forward, swinging the 16 tails that were obviously not of the same species, and grabbed one of the legs of the shelf. However, considering the force-bearing structure, it was obvious that even though the captain used the tails as a fulcrum, it was difficult to prevent the shelf from collapsing.

Fortunately, at this time, the Winter Soldier, who had a similar physical fitness to the captain, came to support with his four long legs. He and the captain held the rack on the left and right, and slowly began to straighten it back to its original position.

The problem with the shelf here has not been solved yet. A lantern hanging on the shelf seems to be affected by the tilt of the shelf. It is shaking and fell down directly.

You have to know that these lanterns are all handicrafts, and each one is quite heavy. It was only after these brothers made major modifications that they were able to be hung here as lanterns.

If this heavy thing were to fall directly to the ground, it would be hard to say what would happen on the scene, but it would definitely interrupt the little pepper who was closing her eyes and making a wish.

Therefore, Hawkeye rushed towards the lantern that was in free fall without any hesitation. After sliding to his knees, he stretched out his eight arms and caught the falling lantern steadily.

The only drawback was that the light bulb in the lantern burned for too long, causing the entire lantern to become extremely hot. Fortunately, Hawkeye had enough arms, and he used eight arms to hold the lantern in circles. Apart from the funny scene, there was no sound at all.

Just when Sherlock was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the scene seemed to be against Sherlock. The bulbs of the starry sky lamp serving as the background board flashed for a while and then began to go out one by one without any regular pattern.

After Sherlock cursed inwardly, he picked up a bag of light bulbs. The tentacles on his head turned into tentacle monsters. He gasped because of the heat from the light bulbs, and started to replace the small bulbs that had gone out one by one.

While changing, he was still cursing, wondering why he had forgotten that the voltage on the rabbit and the eagle side was different?

Seeing the scene fall into chaos in almost an instant, Rhodes, who wanted to help, looked at his eyes and gently pressed the eye on the back of his hand. After feeling a sharp pain, Rhodes decided to just be a spectator.

On the other side, Pepper, who had just made a wish, opened her eyes and saw a group of people jumping up and down like demons in the field not far away. The scene was chaotic and disorderly, just like a construction site. Tony beside her looked at the people behind him with disgust, but looked at himself cautiously.

In the end, Little Pepper couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

After hearing Pepper's laughter, Tony secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After guiding Pepper to blow out the candle, he spoke to her.

"Let's go wait for a while. It looks like they'll need some time to deal with those 'unexpected situations'!"

When Tony said the word "unexpected situation", he almost bit his back teeth, but Pepper didn't care. With a smile on her face, she cut a piece of cake made by Tony for herself and Tony, then took Tony's arm and walked towards the quiet grass beside her.

Seeing that the two protagonists had left, Black Widow stopped pretending and rushed towards the group of talented people with an angry roar on her face.

You guys have wasted such a good plan of mine!!!

Instead, Tony and Pepper were sitting on the lawn not far away. In front of them was the lively scene of their brothers and friends, and above their heads was a brilliant starry sky. It looked very beautiful.

"Thank you, Tony. I'm so happy that you can prepare these surprises for me personally. I like them very much."

While eating the cake on the plate bite by bite, Pepper said to Tony, although the cake looked a little unbearable to look at, it tasted surprisingly good.

Looking at Pepper, who always had a happy smile on her face, Tony breathed a sigh of relief and said to her.

"It's okay, as long as you like it."

Listening to Tony's answer, the two of them fell into a sweet silence. Listening to the laughter and scolding of good friends coming from their ears, looking up at the brilliant sea of ​​stars, Pepper sighed.

"That's great! It would be great if every day could be like this!"

"Yes, that's great, Peibo. Although I can't guarantee that I will make you happy every day like today, I still hope that I can always stand by your side when you are so happy. So, will you marry me?"

"what?"

Pepper, who was looking up at the stars, even thought she had heard it wrong, but when she lowered her head, she saw Tony holding a ring in front of her.

Tony seemed a little embarrassed as he looked at the shocked Pepper.

"They asked me to hide it in the cake to give you a surprise, but I think it would be more sincere if I personally held it in front of you. What do you think?"

Seeing Tony looking at her with deep affection and nervousness, Pepper's smile became even brighter and she nodded at Tony with a smile.

"Of course!"

As if to acknowledge Tony's sincerity, and as if to agree to Tony's promise to let Tony stay with her forever, Pepper happily stretched out her hand to Tony, and Tony put the ring on Pepper's ring finger.

I don't know if it was intentional or God's arrangement, but a small spark from the commotion caused by the crowd not far away coincidentally jumped onto the prepared fireworks, and coincidentally ignited the fireworks directly.

Just as Tony put the ring on Pepper's finger, gorgeous fireworks flew into the sky, exploding into colorful but fleeting flowers in the sky.

Pepper looked at the fireworks in the sky, her hand constantly fumbling with the ring that Tony had just put on her hand, and spoke to Tony in a tone that was more like a coquettish tone than a complaint.

"Although I have seen many expensive jewels, I am still curious about what this black stone inlaid in your ring is?"

"It's the stars! I picked them for you from outer space with my own hands!"

Tony answered Pepper with a smile on his face, gently pointing at the starry sky hidden under the brilliant fireworks.
