In the evening.

Hongnan Country Village.

When Rose was walking home after the bonfire party, she suddenly stopped and looked at Yunqi.

"I've actually always wanted to ask you something."

She stopped and looked at Yunqi with great concern.

"When you first appeared in Red South Country, I told you that I liked you. But you told me at the time that you would never be with me in this life. Do you remember?"

Yunqi didn't expect that after so much time had passed, Rose would suddenly remember this matter.

Deep down in his heart, he was still somewhat uneasy.

Because she had never asked about this matter, she didn't know if she would still accept herself if she knew the truth.

"So. Why did you reject me then? Who did you like at the time?"

Rose directly asked the question that had been buried in her heart for so many years.

"Who was it that rejected me when you rejected me? Who was that important orc to you?"

Yunqi's hands gradually clenched into fists, and he seemed to be struggling fiercely deep in his heart.

"Is it necessary to know? Aren't we doing well now? I think our relationship is stable, isn't it?"

"We have a very good relationship now, so I dare to ask who you liked back then."

Rose chose to ask after she confirmed their feelings for each other.

"If you tell me frankly now, it won't affect our relationship. If you keep hiding it, that will affect our relationship."

Yunqi was silent for a while before he spoke hesitantly.

"In fact, my goal after I came ashore from the deep sea was very clear, which was to go to the leader. Because the mermaids in our deep sea have all known about the leader since they were young, and every one of them is very yearning for her."

"So it's the leader..."

Rose looked at Yunqi suspiciously and frowned slightly.

"But you were obviously interested in Jianguo at that time. All the beastmen thought that you would like Jianguo and that you would be with Jianguo in the future."

"I was..."

Yunqi spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"I only thought of Jianguo after I confessed my feelings to the leader and was rejected. Jianguo looks too similar to the leader, so I thought...it wouldn't be impossible if it was Jianguo."

Rose finally understood the truth of that year.

I thought I was the second choice, but I didn't expect that I would be the last choice in the end?

Because both the leader and Jianguo rejected Yunqi, Yunqi finally chose himself?

"Am I that bad?"

Rose couldn't help but begin to doubt her own charm.

"I don't think I'm that bad among female beastmen. Why can't I catch your eye?"

"At first, it was just that I didn't like you at that time."

Yunqi took the initiative to hold Rose's hand to express his deep love for her.

"But it's different now. I'm yours now. You're the only one in my heart. Can you feel my sincerity?"

Rose could indeed feel Yunqi's sincerity, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable when she learned the truth of that year.

"Then why did you choose me if you don't like me?"

This is what she didn't understand.

"Even if you were rejected by the leader and Jianguo, why did you choose me in the end? Weren't there many female orcs around you at that time?"

"It's a lot, but... your position was the most special at the time. I wanted a female orc who could have regular contact with the leader."

Yunqi could only tell the truth. After all, he had said everything he should and shouldn't say, and there was nothing to lose in the last moment.

"I'm sorry, Rose. The leader told me at the time that my appearance had caused all the female beastmen in the Red South Country to become abnormal. If I couldn't make a choice within three days, I would be thrown directly into the deep sea."

He looked at Rose apologetically, hoping to be forgiven by Rose.

"I don't actually want to hurt you. I just think you're the strongest one there, and the one in the most special position. So I... chose you. Will you blame me?"

After knowing the whole truth, Rose shook off Yunqi's hand.

"You should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier that you were with me just to stay in Red South Country, I wouldn't have had so many expectations of you before."

"Look, look, can't you afford to play?"

Yunqi couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Rose still had this attitude.

"It was you who said before that as long as I told the truth there would be no problem. But now you are saying this to me again. Are you tired of playing around?"

"How can I not afford to have fun?"

Rose glared at him unhappily, then sighed heavily.

"Isn't that a thing of the past? Now is now. I can't just abandon you because of the past, right? That would be too unfair to you."

"That's it."

"So do you still like the leader now?"

This is actually the issue that Rose cares about most.

"Since you came ashore because of the leader, can you still forget the leader now?"

"I don't like the leader anymore. I like you now."

Yunqi held Rose's hand and placed it over his heart.

"We mermaids either don't make a choice or we don't get divorced once we make a choice. We are destined to love only one orc in this life. We can only love our own partners. We mermaids are very loyal to our partners. I hope you can believe me."

It’s not that Rose didn’t believe Yunqi, she just wanted to hear him say this, so she asked directly.

"So now you love only me with all your heart? I, your last choice, have finally entered your heart?"

Yunqi hugged the rose in his arms and expressed his sincerity with his actions.

"I admit that we were not the best choice for each other at the beginning, but now it is the best choice for us, isn't it?"

There was an indescribable feeling surging in Rose's heart, and finally she smiled with relief.

"I don't agree with what you said."

"what?"

"Who says we weren't each other's best choices? You were my only choice from the beginning. I never had a second choice."

Rose finally expressed her feelings to Yunqi and told him her love for him.

"I chose you from the first time I saw you, so now it's proven that my choice was right. You, Yunqi, are finally my rose."
