My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Phew, so satisfying!" Yu Ruoxue exclaimed contentedly, stroking her belly.

"This amount of food is a bit unscientific!" Li Kai exclaimed, looking at the empty bag and then at the girl's flat stomach. "This stomach is also unscientific! Why hasn't it changed at all after eating so much!"

Relax, young man. After all, it's a bit too cruel for you to have a body that doesn't gain weight.

Then tell me, where's the knife?!

"Cough cough, I think I overate," Yu Ruoxue said playfully, sticking out her tongue with an embarrassed look. "It's been so long since I've eaten this much food, so I couldn't resist."

"Wait a minute! Didn't you go out to search?" Li Kai exclaimed in surprise. How long is this going to take?!

"Hmm... I have looked, but each time I can only find a small portion," Yu Ruoxue said, covering her chin, somewhat embarrassed.

"Very few? How many is that?" Li Kai looked at the girl in front of him with an unfriendly expression. There was a bad feeling about this question.

"That's all," Yu Ruoxue said angrily, stretching out her palm—a handful—as she felt Li Kai's burning gaze.

"Really? You actually survived?" Li Kai seemed to be able to imagine the size of the food. This poor search ability was only fortunate to have encountered him; otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago. And this life is even worse than Xiaobai's! Cough cough, is this what they mean by "humans are worse off than dogs"?

"No way, it's just luck" is not a compliment. And don't be shy about accepting such words, okay?

"Wait, why have I been being led by the nose by you all this time?" Suddenly realizing this, Yu Ruoxue stopped talking and looked at Li Kai warily. Only then did she realize...

"Hey, you just ate my food, you're not planning to turn your back on me, are you?" Li Kai looked at the wary girl and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. This kind of girl should have been sold out a long time ago!

“That’s business! We can’t mix them up!” Yu Ruoxue retorted vehemently, her pouting lips completely at odds with her cold expression.

"Alright, alright, let's keep it business as it is. So, how are you going to compensate me for eating so much of my food? This is several days' worth of rations!" Li Kai asked with interest, arms crossed. Hey, you're robbing me? Nobody would believe that!

"Ah... I have nothing to compensate for." Upon hearing Li Kai's words, Yu Ruoxue, who had been so confident, immediately lost all her composure. She could only find such a small amount each time; how long would it take to find all of this?

My God! Thinking of this, the girl's face turned deathly pale. Hey, girl, not everyone is as useless as you! And don't slap me like that! How am I supposed to go out like this?!

"Compensation? Are you sure you can pay it all?" Li Kai scoffed dismissively. The two of them had completely reversed their positions. Seriously, how could you two be acting like this? Was everything I saw before just a dream?

"I'm so sorry!!" Yu Ruoxue bowed deeply to Li Kai at a perfect 90-degree angle, which was undeniably very polite!

"It's not really anything, but you have to answer the next few questions!" Li Kai said with an extremely serious expression.

"Okay!" After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ruoxue finally nodded in agreement.

Are you a C-cup?

"No, I'm a D-cup!" The girl proudly puffed out her chest, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Wait a minute! What kind of ridiculous question is this?! Are you guys planning to get shut down?!

"Ahem, let's change the subject. Why is this city so eerie? Besides you, I don't think I've seen a single person?" Li Kai coughed a few times before finally asking earnestly. Come on, you can't hide your true nature anymore.

"Strange? Living people? That's probably because the zombie infection spread too quickly, leaving no living people here, so the atmosphere is a bit strange!" Hearing Li Kai's words, Yu Ruoxue's face showed a strange expression.

"Is that so?" Listening to the girl's explanation, Li Kai pondered quietly, finally asking, "Are you also from here? What was the reason you fought the zombies? Were you alone?"

Yu Ruoxue remained silent as Li Kai bombarded her with questions.

"Did I speak too quickly just now? Then let me—"

"Enough! I know absolutely nothing about any of this!!!" Before Li Kai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the furious Yu Ruoxue, who was clutching her head in pain, her flawless face contorted in a hideous grimace. "Don't ask me about this! I know nothing!"

"If you don't know, that's fine. No one will force you." Looking at the distressed girl, Li Kai gently reached out and hugged her.

"Hmm?" Feeling the warm touch in front of her, the agitated girl gradually calmed down. However, a trace of numbness lingered on her cold face.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you need to vent it, otherwise you'll feel even worse!" Looking at the expressionless girl, Li Kai tenderly stroked her slightly cold face, while tightly wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"I really didn't know anything at the time. I'm so sorry, Mom and Dad. I miss you so much!" Crystalline tears soaked Li Kai's clothes, and the crying girl was pitiful.

"It's okay, it's all in the past, it wasn't your fault." Li Kai tenderly wiped away the girl's tears; it seemed something cruel had happened here.

"Waaah!!" The girl nestled in the boy's arms, letting out all her emotions, her suppressed feelings bursting forth once again!

"Have you cried enough?" After a long while, Li Kai looked at the girl who had finally stopped crying and asked softly.

"Mmm~~" Her soft voice was like a mosquito's buzz. Yu Ruoxue buried her face in Li Kai's chest, embarrassed. They hadn't even met for a day, and how many times had she already lost her composure? What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she suppress her emotions in front of him?

"Although I don't know what happened, I said last night that if you don't mind, you can tell me!" Li Kai gently patted the girl's back and asked hesitantly.

"Could you let go first?" Yu Ruoxue reminded her shyly, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. The feeling in her body was strange, a tingling, numb sensation.

"Oh, sorry, sorry," Li Kai said, looking at his large hand that was constantly roaming over the girl's body. He suddenly realized what was wrong with him. Why couldn't he control his right hand? Was his "unicorn arm" acting up again?

Wait, what the heck is this "unicorn arm" thing?!

"It's alright, I'm so sorry about earlier, I have to leave now!" Yu Ruoxue gently moved her head away and turned to leave.

"Wait!!" Watching the girl leave, Li Kai suddenly felt like he could no longer hold on to her, so he hurriedly reached out his hand and grabbed the girl's arm.

"Let me go!" Yu Ruoxue frowned. She had to leave this place quickly, otherwise she would be implicated.

"I did help you before, do you think a simple thank you is enough?" Li Kai gripped the arm in front of him tightly, knowing that if he let go, there would be no chance.

"Then what are you going to do?"

“I’m not familiar with this place, so you’ll have to be my tour guide until I leave!” Li Kai replied with a smile.

"Alright then, it's agreed that we'll stay here until you leave." Hearing Li Kai's words, Yu Ruoxue felt a sense of relief in her chest. This was to repay a debt, and it had nothing to do with her. Besides, this place was so dangerous, and he was unfamiliar with the area. She couldn't just leave him there!

"That's right, it wasn't because of myself!" Yu Ruoxue retorted forcefully after getting the answer. But your face is so red! And wasn't what you said earlier a contradiction?

Hmph, mind your own business!

I'm Li Kai. Some things, some people, once you let go, there's no going back. So cherish every moment! (P.S.: Hey, why is this so philosophical?!)
