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

"Ouch~ It hurts! Mom, be gentle!"

With a smile on her face, Yu Jiajia increased the pressure as she applied the medicine to Wen Liuyan.

"Ahhh! Mom~"

"Calling for your ancestors won't help, you'd better suffer!"

"Look what you did to me."

"You deserve it! Don't you have any idea what you've taught Wen Feiyu?"

As if recalling a scene, Yu Jiajia's cheeks flushed again, and she pinched Wen Liuyan's bruise hard as if in a fit of pique.

He screamed in pain.

"Shut up! The other dorms are all resting, don't shout."

"Could you be a little gentler? All I did was let Feiyu stick to you a little more, I didn't do anything immoral."

"Are you going to lift your clothes and press yourself against someone? Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of her and then not take responsibility?"

"You're not that kind of person."

Yu Jiajia pinched him harder again, causing Wen Liuyan, a burly man, to shed tears. He looked at the two people sitting huddled together beside him and pleaded for help with his eyes.

Yan Xi: "Jiajia, that's enough. If you're still not satisfied, punish him by making him open the packages."

Luo Shiyu nodded in agreement.

Yu Jiajia let out a long sigh and said, "Never mind, let's go to sleep."

Everyone was asleep, so Luo Shiyu sneaked away again. She glanced at the time, which was almost midnight, and saw that He Gui had not yet returned to his room to rest.

Through the crack in the door, Luo Shiyu could see that the office lights were still on. She quietly went in, and He Gui, who was looking at something with his brows furrowed, was completely unaware of Luo Shiyu's approach.

"Return."

Luo Shiyu's voice was very soft, but it still startled He Gui.

Whether out of guilt or something else, He Gui's subconscious reaction was to turn off the AI.

"scared you?"

"No."

"What are you looking at? Your brows are furrowed like that."

"nothing."

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Luo Shiyu didn't ask any more questions. Her gaze fell on the fish tank on the table. The white goldfish looked listless, while the blue goldfish circled around it, whether out of concern or something else.

Is this fish sick?

"I took good care of it, I don't know why it's like this."

“I don’t blame you,” Xiao Hei said. “Its life is almost over. They were very good friends, but it’s a pity they have to part ways.”

He Gui looked at the blue goldfish hovering next to the white goldfish and said, "Isn't it said that fish only have a seven-second memory and will forget?"

"You'll forget... Oh, I see..."

After I leave, Guigui will forget me too... And am I not just a fish in a jar?

"Xiaoyu?"

Luo Shiyu forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I inexplicably started to relate to myself."

"What's there to compare it to? Goldfish don't live as long as humans."

"No, don't you think the goldfish's color scheme is similar to ours?"

He Gui frowned, clearly unwilling to hear Luo Shiyu's words.

“I am not this fish, I will not lose Xiaoyu. It lost its mate because it was confined to the tank and had limited abilities, but I am different. I have the ability to protect Xiaoyu, so we will not be separated, never.”

"Hahaha!" Luo Shiyu laughed, though he didn't know why he was laughing.

"I was serious."

"I know I know."

"I will protect you."

"I know! Aren't you sleepy staying up so late, Commander He?"

"I'm sleepy, I wasn't waiting for you."

"Is it my fault?"

"Ah."

"Let's go!"

Luo Shiyu hooked her hand around He Gui's belt and pulled him back to sleep. The office lights were turned off, and in the darkness, the white goldfish gradually turned belly up.

"Ah~ I didn't even make it through last night before I died."

Luo Shiyu spoke with regret as she reached out to scoop out the goldfish's corpse. Just as her fingertips touched the water, she felt a pair of large hands suddenly appear on her waist.

He Gui manually turned Luo Shiyu towards himself, hugged her, and showered her with kisses.

"Hmm~ wait~ hmm~"

The more Luo Shiyu resisted, the more vigorously He Guiqin pleaded, eventually even putting him down on the table.

"Why aren't you resisting anymore?" He Gui said, still kissing Luo Shiyu's lips intermittently.

Luo Shiyu's eyes welled up with tears, and she glared at He Gui without saying a word.

"Little pushover~"

"You are!"

"Okay, if Xiaoyu says so, then I am."

"go away."

"That won't work."

"Hey~ stop fooling around, did you remember what I told you last night?"

"I don't remember." He Gui straightened up, released Luo Shiyu who was being pinned down, touched his lips, and continued, "Maybe, if Xiaoyu kisses me, I'll remember."

"Didn't you just kiss him?"

"No, that's my dear Xiaoyu."

"Then what about all the time you tortured me last night?"

"It's a transaction."

What was traded?

"I forgot. I need Xiaoyu to kiss me to remember."

"You scoundrel!"

He Gui didn't care, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and waited.

"You just wait, I'll punish you sooner or later!" Luo Shiyu said the harshest words while offering the warmest embrace.

His breathing became increasingly erratic, and He Gui's lips moved down to kiss his neck.

Luo Shiyu suddenly woke up and pushed him away.

"What are you going to do!"

Remove the word "ma".

"You bastard! Get to the meeting!"

Luo Shiyu pushed He Gui from behind, shoved him out of the office, and closed the door.

"Hey! Xiaoyu, I forgot my mask."

The door opened a crack, and Luo Shiyu stretched out her arm, holding He Gui's mask in her hand.

"It feels like you've kicked me out."

"You wish! Don't forget to go to Chenchen's parent-teacher conference this afternoon."

"understood."

No matter how angry you are, you are not allowed to say anything to the child.

"In your heart, my temper is..."

"promise!"

"Ok."

"Hmm, that's more like it. Let's go to the meeting."

"Okay, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

After He Gui left, Luo Shiyu scooped out the white goldfish that had already died from the fish tank. The blue goldfish was jumping on the surface of the water, seemingly unwilling to let Luo Shiyu take its body away.

"It died. If you feel lonely, I'll buy some goldfish to keep you company in a couple of days."

I must have been stupid to say that to a fish.

The office door opened and closed, and a familiar figure took away its companion; that goldfish would never return.

Luo Shiyu dug a hole under a tree outside the base and buried the goldfish in it.

"You may rest here forever."

"Ding-dong!" Luo Shiyu looked at the smart device that had given the notification sound, opened it, and saw that it was a message from Xu Yu.

JOKER: Honey, I have good news!

Falling Fish: What good news?

JOKER: I've made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate regarding the mysterious man with the dog-headed scepter.

Fish Falling: Really? Tell me!

JOKER: Oh... Do you have time to come to a bar?

Falling Fish: Yes, wait for me for six hours. My teleportation skill has a cooldown.

Falling Fish: If there's no way back, forget it.

JOKER: Okay, see you at noon.

Luoyu: Okay.
