No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

"Xiao Yu..."

The cold breath He Gui exhaled blew onto Luo Shiyu's neck. He had intended to use his mouth to untie the chains, but they were frozen and shattered as soon as he touched them.

"This material won't do. I'll order a batch for you."

I don't want to.

He Gui deliberately avoided the bow at the point of binding and instead grabbed Luo Shiyu's wrist, using his fingers to flick the bell hanging from the chain.

"Just putting on bells is too plain. Adding some gemstones when you customize it will make it sparkle more. I'm sure you'll like it."

[Would you like it?]

"Xiaoyu, what flavor is this candy?"

Luo Shiyu could feel He Gui's icy hand stroking his neck and chin before cupping his face.

His breath grew closer, and a cool, smooth, and soft touch came from the corner of my mouth.

"Hmm~ It's so sour. Is this Xiaoyu's clever little trick?"

[You big idiot! If you know it's sour, why don't you take it away right now!]

Luo Shiyu mumbled twice, turned her head, and gestured for He Gui to untie the chain binding Tangqiu.

He Gui understood Luo Shiyu's meaning, but he didn't want to do it, so he pretended to be naive and asked, "Is Xiaoyu impatient?"

[Forcing you to...]

Luo Shiyu cursed inwardly and kicked out.

He Gui grabbed Luo Shiyu's ankle as he kicked out, and Luo Shiyu fell onto the bed because he lost his balance.

He Gui grabbed his leg and pulled him toward her until they bumped into each other and stopped.

"Xiaoyu, are you in such a hurry? I was originally planning to savor it properly, but now I can't hold back anymore."

Luo Shiyu's stubbornness kicked in, and she struggled to break free of the ankle that was being held.

He Gui watched him throw a tantrum with a smile on his face.

Taking advantage of He Gui's distraction, Luo Shiyu kicked his neck with her other leg.

He Gui grabbed her ankle again and casually draped it over her shoulder.

Luo Shiyu closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, and knew that she had given up again.

"I thought it was a buffet, but I didn't expect there to be a feeding service."

Luo Shiyu, who had already given up resisting, was spurred on by He Gui's words and began to struggle again, shaking his body in resistance, the bells jingling loudly.

He Gui's composed expression vanished, replaced by helplessness and regret.

"I really want to savor it properly, mainly because you've been seducing me."

[Me? Me? Oh my god! Honestly, I've been thinking about breaking free from these constraints, okay?]

Luo Shiyu arched her body slightly, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

[Ice! It's so damn cold! What kind of karma did I create?! I even got a boyfriend who's a block of ice.]

Crane returned to her body and pressed herself against him, feeling the warmth that belonged only to Luo Shiyu.

"Ah~ My little Yu is so warm~"

I like Xiaoyu, I want to be with Xiaoyu... forever... forever... never to be apart.

After crying until his tears ran dry, after the candy ball had mostly dissolved, and after all the chains binding him had torn to shreds, the person finally untied the handkerchief binding Luo Shiyu's hands with satisfaction. (To be precise, it was directly frozen and blown up.)

Upon regaining her freedom, Luo Shiyu's first action was to tear off the candy ball tied to her mouth and throw it at He Gui in a fit of rage.

The drool-covered candy ball came flying at him, and He Gui didn't even try to dodge. It hit him squarely, turned into an ice ball, and shattered on the ground.

"Why didn't you dodge? Aren't you a germaphobe?"

"It's available to others, but not to Xiaoyu."

"It sounds nice, but in the beginning, I don't know who it was, but you had to rinse your mouth before you could kiss someone."

"I wasn't familiar with Xiaoyu back then."

"now what?"

"Kiss me however you like."

"That's pretty much it."

Luo Shiyu hooked her hand with He Gui, and the other party took the initiative to lean in for a kiss.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Luo Shiyu reached out and covered his mouth, saying retaliatoryly, "No kissing."

He Gui was not happy about it. He pressed Luo Shiyu down and kissed him repeatedly. The more Luo Shiyu refused, the more he wanted it.

He only relented when Luo Shiyu was completely dazed and stopped resisting.

He Gui pinched Luo Shiyu's face and teased her affectionately, "Why aren't you moving? Hmm? You little thing who always likes to contradict me."

Luo Shiyu rolled her eyes at him defiantly and remained silent.

Instead of being angry, He Gui laughed and said, "My little Yu is so cute, just like a little rabbit. She's easy to raise; she can just die of grass."

【What do you mean? 】

Luo Shiyu felt increasingly uneasy. After realizing what was happening, she grabbed a pillow and threw it mercilessly at He Gui.

"You bastard, if you're on land, you'll kill me!"

"It's alright, the little fish has plenty of water, we'll support each other through thick and thin."

"Get out!" Luo Shiyu yelled, then threw the pillow in her hand at the person and got up to take a shower.

He Gui wanted to go too, but the bed sheets... the carpet... the sofa... the cabinets... the walls... if they weren't cleaned up, they'd have to hand them over to the robot to clean tomorrow, and they felt too embarrassed to do so.

By the time he finished tidying everything up, Luo Shiyu had already fallen asleep on the edge of the bathtub.

"Xiao Yu."

I called his name softly, but there was no response.

He Gui confirmed that Luo Shiyu was fast asleep, cleaned the stains off his body, and carried him out of the bathtub to go back to sleep.

"Xiaoyu is so smooth and warm, more comfortable than any heater."

He Gui nuzzled Luo Shiyu's face, hugged him tightly, closed his eyes contentedly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He heard panting nearby. He opened his eyes and saw that he was in a place that resembled a fairyland. The clouds in the sky looked like silk, and even the grass on the ground was radiating a faint light.

Where is this?

He Gui felt that this place was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Ha~ha~ I...I have to escape...I absolutely can't...I can't...be caught and taken back..."

[That's the voice!]

He Gui turned around and saw Luo Shiyu running towards him.

He clutched his chest, which was struggling to breathe, his nose was red, and he was panting heavily with his mouth opening and closing.

The blue-purple robe embroidered with stars in silver thread draped from his shoulders to his arms. When he ran, he looked like a butterfly spreading its wings and fluttering. His long silver hair, reaching his calves, was blown by the wind and occasionally brushed against his face, giving him an indescribable sense of fragility.

His handsome appearance completely masked the panic on his face. He Gui's gaze was unconsciously drawn to him, and she couldn't help but open her arms to welcome him.

To He Gui's surprise, Luo Shiyu passed right through his body, as if she had no physical form.

[Xiao Yu? What happened?]
