My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

The sizzling sound of golden juices dripping from the wire mesh into the flames filled the air, releasing a fragrant aroma. The girl watched quietly, her face flushed, while the boy leisurely turned the slices of meat. The ordinary night felt so special because of you and me.

"Wow~~ It smells so good!" Li Kai exclaimed sincerely, smelling the aroma of meat emanating from the grill. Wait, isn't this just like a peddler praising his own wares?

"Can't we eat yet? It's been so long!" Yu Ruoxue was drooling as she watched, and even her previous cold and aloof demeanor was hard to maintain.

"Don't rush, good things need time to cook." Li Kai casually rejected the girl's request. For him, who could compromise on anything, food was absolutely non-negotiable! What kind of philosophy is this?!

"But I already want to eat~" Yu Ruoxue stretched out her index finger and touched her red lips, her pink tongue gently sucking on her finger. The alluring gesture was captivating and mesmerizing. Wait, this style doesn't suit you at all! You could easily make a living with your charisma, why do you have to resort to selling sex appeal!

"Gulp!" Watching Yu Ruoxue's passionate and alluring movements, Li Kai's eyes were almost glued to her. He quickly picked up several golden slices of meat from the wire mesh and respectfully handed them to her. "Miss, please enjoy!"

Hey, didn't you say there was no compromise? Do you even have any principles?

"Tch~ Ignorant fool, someone like you will probably never find a partner in your entire life!" Li Kai said with a face full of disdain.

I don't need a single dog like you lecturing me!

"Mmm~~ It's so hot!" Yu Ruoxue couldn't wait to pick up a piece of grilled meat and put it in her mouth, breathing out hot air. The scalding juices splashed out in her mouth. It was so delicious!

"No need to rush, you can eat later." Li Kai looked at the impatient girl with amusement. She had been aloof before, but now she was like a little girl.

"But I'm hungry, hmm, not bad!" Yu Ruoxue nodded in approval as she stuffed grilled meat into her mouth.

"Of course! Don't you even know who cooked this themselves?" Li Kai proudly puffed out his chest; it was all his masterpiece!

"Another one!" Yu Ruoxue shouted loudly, a faint smile playing on her shiny lips.

"Great, all you can eat today!" Li Kai said generously, filling stacks of meat slices while his other hand flipped them quickly.

"Is grilling this difficult?" Yu Ruoxue, who was eating, looked curiously at Li Kai, who was grilling with great relish, her curiosity obvious.

"Hmm? Want to give it a try?" Li Kai looked at the puzzled girl and smiled as he extended his hand.

"Me? Can I really do it?" Yu Ruoxue pointed at herself in surprise. She had never experienced or even thought about such a thing before.

"Of course, it's very simple, you have me by your side!" Li Kai said confidently.

"So how exactly do I do it?" Unable to contain her curiosity, Yu Ruoxue obediently approached the grill, her cautious demeanor making everyone laugh.

"Just use tongs to pick up a few slices of meat and put them on top to grill."

"Oh, it's so simple!" Yu Ruoxue said with a sudden realization, it didn't seem as difficult as she had imagined! These kinds of things vary from person to person.

Relieved, little Yu Ruoxue carelessly tossed several pieces of water-soaked meat onto the wire mesh. Haha, she's definitely at a beginner's level! So, the result was predictable.

"Whoosh!" The flames suddenly shot up, the steaming heat seemed to scorch everything in front of it, the sizzling sound of oil mixed with the crackling and popping of explosions.

"Ahhhhh! What happened?!" Startled, Yu Ruoxue frantically waved the tongs in her hands, and suddenly a flame shot up, almost burning her palms. How terrifying! I never thought grilling meat could be so dangerous! Hey, what does this have to do with grilling meat? Don't try to shirk responsibility.

"Idiot, what are you doing!" Just as the girl was at a loss, Li Kai grabbed the back of her hand and moved the tongs to remove the excess meat pieces.

"What...what is this?" Feeling the heat from the back of her hand, Yu Ruoxue said, her face flushed.

"Your voice is too soft, and I don't have time to listen to your explanation right now." Li Kai impatiently interrupted the girl, pressing his whole body against her back and holding her small hand tightly in his palm.

"Watch closely, this is how it should be done!" Li Kai stared intently at his hands, completely unaware that the girl was already in his arms. To sit still with such a beauty in one's arms, without being tempted, would be worse than a beast!

"Okay, I understand. Can you let go first?" The girl, her body burning hot, whispered. The powerful masculine energy surged through her rapidly beating heart. So fast! A heart pounding faster than ever before!

"Huh? What's wrong with you?!" Sensing something was off about the girl, Li Kai looked over in confusion, but as soon as he lowered his head, he was deeply attracted by the scene in front of him.

Her blushing face and misty eyes revealed boundless shyness, her slightly parted lips exhaled a ticklish heat, and a sudden impulse prompted Li Kai to lower his head and kiss her.

"You," Yu Ruoxue seemed frozen in place, staring silently at Li Kai who was leaning down. Perhaps she no longer wanted to refuse.

"Whoosh!" Gradually, their faces drew closer and closer, their hot breaths swirling around them. Their eyes met, and both could feel the emotions filling the other's gaze.

"No!" A struggle suddenly appeared in Li Kai's eyes. He couldn't let the same mistake happen a second time!

"It's okay, just keep kissing, no one will blame you!" The seductive voice swirled in Li Kai's ears. A beautiful woman within your grasp, this is what you've always dreamed of!

"Slap!" A loud sound abruptly broke the enchanting atmosphere. Li Kai slapped himself hard across the face with his right hand, and Yu Ruoxue instantly woke up from her daze.

"I'm so sorry, I really feel bad about what happened earlier!!" Li Kai said earnestly to the girl, his voice filled with deep remorse.

"Why?" Yu Ruoxue looked at Li Kai, her eyes revealing an inexplicable sadness, a heartbreaking sadness.

"Huh? I really didn't mean it just now, I couldn't help it." At this moment, Li Kai finally understood how useful it was to learn Chinese well. Helpless, he would rather be killed by zombies a hundred times.

"That's not what I asked! Why won't you kiss me? Am I that hateful?" Yu Ruoxue questioned loudly, her face hidden by her hair, making it impossible to discern her expression.

"No, you are very beautiful." Hearing the girl's words, Li Kai's brain had completely shut down, and he couldn't understand what the person in front of him was thinking at all.

"Then why am I so unattractive?"

"No, you're very attractive, otherwise I wouldn't be so fascinated—I mean—" Li Kai explained incoherently.

"Your heart can no longer hold anyone else?" Yu Ruoxue continued, picking up where he left off.

"How could that be! How could someone like me be like that!" Li Kai said, but halfway through his sentence, a beautiful figure inexplicably appeared in his mind—a person he didn't know how to describe.

"My very existence is for killing, yet you force human emotions upon me. Why give me hope only to cruelly erase it!" Yu Ruoxue trembled, crystal tears dripping from her face. It turned out that from the moment she gained consciousness, the tragedy was already destined to happen.

"No! Let me explain!"

"No need to say anything, I understand everything," Yu Ruoxue murmured softly, looking at the uneasy boy before her. "Perhaps I was wrong from the very beginning."

"Something's wrong with you. What's wrong with you?" Li Kai asked anxiously, gripping the girl's shoulders.

"Didn't you already guess? I hate you, but I'm also hopelessly in love with you!" The girl rested her head on Li Kai's shoulder and said with a cool self-mockery.

"Don't be so irresponsible!" Looking at the girl who had fallen into a coma, Li Kai rubbed his head in distress. "This is really a problem!"

"Idiot, if you had listened to me earlier, there wouldn't have been any problems," the figure in the darkness hissed.

I'm Li Kai. What? You're saying this has turned into a melodramatic soap opera? Absolutely not! I swear on my integrity, this is just a minor incident! (P.S.: Get lost! Where's your integrity anyway?)
