After all of them are reborn, who would still want to marry 2.5 Jo Satoru?

The white mist flowed quietly, like running water, around Hei Mo's pale cheeks, rubbing against Liu Li's slightly beating pulse.

Hei Mo's usually calm eyes were like a lake stirred by a huge rock, and his long silver-white hair with the fragrance of flowers brushed against his cheek, just like the black sea water that embraced him when he was born.

Many years later, Hei Mo realized that the sea water was corruption, sin, and the innate desire and longing of all beings.

It's about survival and love.

Just like at this moment, Liuli gave him this warm embrace.

She is trying to survive.

He is courting.

Heima stretched out his thin hands almost clumsily, and in a moment he gently hugged her back.

This was their first hug after they met for more than a thousand years and separated for more than a thousand years.

"Ji Jun——"

Hei Mo murmured almost unconsciously, his voice so soft, as if he was afraid of waking up a wandering dream.

"I love you with all my heart."

The black-haired god spoke this way, slowly and with indescribable sincerity.

There was a faint smile on Liuli's face, but there was no ripple in her heart.

So much so that when she ended the hug, the smile was still evenly distributed on her face.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kuroma."

She still apologized, but ultimately did not say no.

Hei Mo seemed to have long been accustomed to her apology. He just hesitated for a moment when he withdrew his hand, with a subtle regret in his eyes.

"Please don't say that."

"Ji Jun, I'm telling you my feelings, not because I'm craving your response."

"I want to tell you, if possible, please ask me more."

Heima's words were a bit difficult to understand, but Liuli quickly understood what he meant, and the smile on her face changed into an indescribable strange expression.

Kuroma continued, "Whatever it is, I will do my best to achieve it for you."

"My greatest wish is to fulfill your wish."

"As long as you are happy, I will be happy too."

It was not until this moment that Liuli vaguely realized that this god, who was so sincere to the point of being stupid, actually agreed with this.

He sincerely believed that his own happiness and joy were achieved through her.

For a moment, Liuli felt a strange feeling in her heart.

The god before him seemed to be the soft and fragile Remedios Moscote, and she was the eccentric and lonely Aureliano Buendía.

It would be impossible to say that she was not moved by Him at all.

But if there is any emotion at all, it seems to have nothing to do with love.

“That’s not true.”

Liuli was silent for a long while before she spoke, "Master Heima, if you place all your emotions on others, you will only get endless disappointment."

“It will be very hard and very sad.”

The girl's voice was quiet and gentle, completely matching the soundtrack in his memory. Hei Mo suddenly felt as if a beating heart had grown in his empty chest.

"Ji Jun, you are so kind."

"How can I not be happy?"

A smile of astonishing beauty spread across His face, one that could almost make even the hardest heart flutter.

"Then let me be disappointed, toiled, and sad."

He said, "For the gods, this is also a sentiment worth cherishing."

"Over a long period of time, emotions and memories will fall off, fade, and deform with the passage of time."

Hei Mo showed a calm expression, and only at this moment did Liuli realize that he was indeed an immortal species who had lived for many years.

Because most of the time, Hei Mo treated her with a flattering gentleness, like a pool of quiet spring water, embracing everything in silent waves.

"I used to think I was emotionless."

"Until I met you, I didn't realize—"

"I didn't lose my emotions, I just lost control of them."

So I rejoice in your joy, grieve in your sorrow, and rejoice in your happiness.

It's not that I've lost my emotions, I just can't seem to detect them until I see you.

Liuli didn't say anything else, but just stared at him deeply, as if looking into an incredible nightmare.

Hei Mo smiled and said nothing more. As he said, he just wanted to express his feelings and did not expect any response.

Perhaps, for Him, no answer is the best answer.

After a while, Liuli said softly, "Master Heima, I want to go back."

"I still have some things that need to be dealt with."

Hei Mo nodded. He had fulfilled Liuli's wish and was satisfied with it.

But before parting, the god hesitated for a long time and said truthfully,

"I hate to tell you any bad news, but I have to be honest with you."

"Perhaps the person you are waiting for will not come back to you too soon, or even forever..."

Hei Mo's eyebrows were stained with some sadness. He didn't want to tell Liuli the worst guess, so he said it in a more euphemistic way.

"You know, there are countless parallel worlds. Moreover, the world we live in is quite strange..."

Liuli shook her head and gave an almost bright smile.

There was a faint smile in her indigo eyes, just like when they first met, as she looked into the void through the milky white mist.

"No, we will definitely meet again."

"On a certain summer evening, he will surely appear before me again."

"I would throw myself into his arms and say—"

"Welcome back."

"I know you will come back."

"Because your love for me is to return to me after going to another world."
