Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 187 Ah Feng fell in love with ~Asha~ on a ~starless night~

The blue optical lenses looked at Bumblebee, but those beautiful lenses held no emotion; they only conveyed the feeling of an AI reading text without feeling.

Calm emotions, a decision already made.

"Can't we really stay...?" Bumblebee hesitated, still wanting to persuade him to stay.

But he knew, he was perfectly clear, that the most important thing to her was her family, and the way she looked at them when she introduced them was different.

It was very different, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was different. It was like a calm lake finally having real ripples, a genuine tenderness and love bursting forth from her core, from the deepest part of her code.

These waves, long and enduring, rippled continuously from the deepest recesses of her code, telling of how much she loved her home and her family.

And it was just a glance.

These all belong to her real family.

The fact that a ruthless killer, a monster in the eyes of the Decepticons, could have such emotions speaks volumes about how much she cares for her family.

This further demonstrates that they have emotions.

"I like you..." It was a very soft sentence, but it sounded like a sigh of dejection and helplessness. Bumblebee didn't know how to describe it.

Is it like a dying wish, the last words written after realizing there is no hope?

But he didn't like it. Such a sentence felt like he was trying to use love to bind her. She should be like a free bird, flying freely according to her wishes.

Even though I know she values ​​her family and that she must go back, I still really want to keep her by my side.

"Bumblebee! This relationship won't work out!" Rosa practically shouted, and immediately a cacophony of bird calls and flapping wings filled the air.

The birds in the woods were startled by the shout and flew away, their feathers swaying with the leaves as they slowly drifted down and landed at her feet.

“Even the final farewell will make us all uncomfortable…” Her voice suddenly softened and became gentle again.

If they really get together, the separation will only be painful. It would be better if they never got together in the first place, because separation is inevitable.

"This is a candy wrapped with a knife; we were all miserable when we left!" she said, and Bumblebee suddenly shouted at that moment.

"Rosa! I don't want to have any regrets. Even knowing there's a knife inside, I still want to try!"

I know we'll break up no matter what, but I still want to try to be with you. Bumblebee hurried forward, but afraid of scaring her, he only took one step.

"I don't want to have any regrets, could we... even if we feel it's not right for us later, then we can break up..." Bumblebee's optics were full of pleading; he really loved Rosa.

He also enjoyed their time alone together and their time traveling together.

"I won't force you to stay... I just want to be able to date you before you leave, so I won't have any regrets... even if it's just for a while."

At least focus on the present moment, okay?

Bumblebee kept getting closer and closer. Seeing Rosa slowly take a step back, he stopped too. He watched Rosa consider something, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Let her think about it slowly.

Rosa looked at Bumblebee's pitiful expression, like a poor, abandoned dog desperately trying to catch up with its owner.

Although he looks much more weathered than before, this also makes him seem more aggrieved.

He still carries the shadow of the past... He has always been Bumblebee, always has been.

"Okay..." Rosa sighed helplessly, and was about to add something when Bumblebee interrupted her with a bear hug.

They're dating now, and the moment he heard her agree, Bumblebee happily rushed forward and hugged her waist. Then he lifted her up a little so he could put his head on her shoulder and rub his head against hers.

Rosa was startled by the sudden movement, her feet leaving the ground. She instinctively grabbed onto anything she could, and ended up hugging the bumblebee.

The two aircraft were now acting very ambiguously. Rosa was caught off guard by Bumblebee's actions and didn't react until Bumblebee had already taken advantage of the situation and kissed her.

The moment their lips touched, Rosa pulled Bumblebee back a little, at least leaving some distance between their heads.

Seeing Rosa cover her lips with her other hand in shock, Bumblebee realized he had gotten too excited.

"I'm...sorry." He awkwardly put Rosa down, letting her land, but he still couldn't bear to let go of her arms.

He simply let her land, still holding her tightly, feeling the warmth of the flame in his arms, the jumping frequency of the flame just wouldn't slow down.

"But... it's just a trial. If it doesn't work out, we'll break up, understand?" Bumblebee nodded very seriously as he watched Rosa try to gently push him.

"Hmm...I understand..." Bumblebee responded to Rosa's gentle push, loosening his grip a little, but then immediately lowered his head and rubbed his head against her neck.

Rosa's expression grew increasingly speechless. It felt like she was dating a golden retriever, and now this golden retriever was rubbing against her and trying to get close to her.

The final sticking action was interrupted by a phone call from the Black-Faced God.

This call couldn't have come at the worst possible time...

"Lieutenant Bumblebee, I've detected a Decepticon signal." Blackface hung up after receiving Bumblebee's response.

Rosa, of course, overheard the phone call, so she grabbed Bumblebee and prepared to go back.

Back at the junkyard, Blackface and Iron Fist keenly noticed that Rosa and the Lieutenant seemed to be in relatively good spirits, and...

"Why are they holding hands as they come back?" Steellock asked, puzzled, as Bumblebee led Rosa into the hall by the hand. He was then elbowed by Iron Fist.

I originally intended to cover his mouth, but then realized that I couldn't do it in dinosaur form, so I switched to an elbow strike.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" The green mechanical dinosaur clutched his waist in pain, looking at the iron wrist that had elbowed him with incomprehension.

"Shh, don't ask..." Iron Fist said, secretly resolving that he would always send a message to ask where Lieutenant Bumblebee was before he could find him.

Or just send him a message about anything unimportant, and don't go looking for him, so you don't end up catching him like last time.

"Report the details." Bumblebee finally let go of Rosa's hand in the hall and went to ask Blackface what he had discovered.

Blackface discovered unusual seismic activity in an abandoned quarry, indicating that something was vibrating there.
