Cang Xingyue sat on the swing in the back garden, looking utterly bored and resigned to her fate.

So boring, so incredibly boring! I'm stuck in this manor all day, unable to go out, with nothing to do. I feel like I'm going to rot away.

At the base, you can also do bounties and fight zombies every now and then, which is quite fulfilling.

He sighed deeply, "I wonder what those silly girls are doing now." He really wanted to go back...

"Should I run away now?" A glint appeared in his eyes, and he quickly got up from the swing. Then, like a deflated balloon, he sat back down.

But Lu Siyan helped cure Yu Lian, and in exchange, she agreed to marry him... no, she agreed to marry him, but she didn't agree to stay here forever.

When he wants to marry her, she can come and marry him, then leave immediately. This way, she won't break her promise, and it won't hinder her freedom—a win-win situation.

Just as they were about to leave, having entered the space to return to the base, they heard Lu Siyan's voice, filled with gritted teeth: "You damned woman, you ran away again, didn't you? Come out!"

She rolled her eyes in exasperation: This bastard is like a persistent ghost.

She emerged from the space and stood before him: "Speak your mind, or shut up. Stop calling me all the time. I'm not your mother."

Lu Siyan grabbed her face and said, "Can't you be a little gentler with me, you dead woman? You're always so venomous."

Cang Xingyue pushed his hand away: "The fact that you can still stand here properly means you're not poisonous enough."

"Isn't it enough for you to criticize me eight times a day?"

"That was all obtained through your underhanded tactics."

"Tsk, I won't argue with you." He shoved a large bouquet of pink roses into her arms, along with a box of strawberries.

"Here, a small gift for you."

I noticed she seemed down these past few days, so I asked Yun Jiang and the others how to make a girl happy. They said girls are happy to receive flowers, so they specially prepared a bouquet of pink roses for her.

Looking at the bouquet of roses in her hand, wrapped up very ugly, with layers upon layers, it looked like the roses had been put in a cast. If it weren't for the fact that it felt like wrapping paper, she would have thought he had brought the flowers, pot and all, over.

This box of strawberries is nice, but the flowers are a bit superfluous. I don't really like flowers, so they're not very attractive to me. They just take up space and are useless since I can't eat them.

"Thank you for your gift. Let me give you a gift in return."

Lu Siyan felt a secret anticipation: "What gift?"

She shoved the flowers into his arms: "Here's a bouquet of 'plaster roses' for you."

Then, holding a strawberry, he ate one as he walked, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: "For the sake of the strawberry, I'll stay here for now."

Ignoring the angry roar behind him: "You damned woman, you're returning the flowers I gave you?"

He just tossed the flowers away. Aren't girls supposed to be happy to receive flowers? Why wasn't she happy at all? She even looked disgusted. That woman is really something else.

She smiled as she watched the direction Cang Xingyue left, thankfully she liked the strawberries he had prepared.

I noticed she often eats the strawberries on the plate first when eating fruit, so I guessed she might like them and prepared a big box of them.

I glanced at the vibrant flowers in the garden. Since you can't win her favor and make her happy, there's no need to keep them.

In an instant, all the flowers in the garden withered, the wind swept up the dead branches and leaves, and soon the flower beds that were once full of flowers became empty space.

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, she thought about sneaking back to the base, but Lu Siyan seemed to have her figured out.

Every time she was about to leave, he would just appear with her favorite food, and he turned her original back garden into an orchard.

He would take her to watch the sunrise and sunset every day, or do other things, never letting her have a moment to rest. At first, she complained about it, but she seemed to gradually accept this kind of life.

This sense of peace and comfort was something I had never experienced before the end of the world.

Lu Siyan, holding a box of unknown contents, sat down next to Cang Xingyue.

She looked at the thing in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"The movie DVDs Shen Wei brought me to pass the time, I'll take them and watch them with you."

Who is Shen Wei?

"One of my brothers who have risked their lives for me."

How many good brothers do you actually have?

"Seven." He spread the discs out on the table. "Which one do you want to watch?"

The disc covers are getting cooler and cooler. Space Marines, Doomsday Soldier King, Undercover 001, ...

He pointed to the post-apocalyptic soldier king: "This one will do."

When you open the box, the disc inside is pink, with cartoon images of deer and rabbits printed on it.

Both of them were taken aback. Such a cool box cover. And what's inside...so cute?

"Well, it doesn't matter if the covers are different, as long as the contents are the same," she reassured him.

Lu Siyan nodded and started playing the disc.

After a cheerful opening theme, the words "The Adventures of Little Deer and Little Rabbit" appeared in large letters.

In a beautiful, dreamlike forest lived a little deer and a little rabbit. They were very good friends, and today they were going to visit Mr. Grizzly Bear…

The gentle, slightly cute voice introduced the story, and I couldn't hold back any longer.

"Puff, hahahaha..."

Mimicking the tone of voice on TV, she patted Lu Siyan on the shoulder with a smile: "So our little Lu Siyan likes to watch this in private?"

Lu Siyan's face darkened as he tightened his grip on the disc case. With a snap, the glass case shattered, and shards pierced his hand.

Shen Wei, that idiot! What kind of movie DVD did I give him?!

Cang Xingyue stopped smiling, took the broken disc case from his hand, pulled his hand closer, and frowned slightly: "You jerk, why did you squeeze it? Doesn't it hurt?"

Was this woman really concerned about him? He couldn't quite believe it.

This minor injury was nothing more than a scrape to him, but he couldn't help but linger on her tenderness at that moment.

"pain."

She gently blew on the wound, her voice soft: "It's understandable that it hurts, for letting you break things like that."

Lu Siyan smiled upon hearing this: "That's nice, you care about me."

"Stop dreaming, I don't care about you at all." He pinched the shard between his fingers. "Bear with it, okay? I'll help you pull the shard out."

He threw the pulled-out fragments into the trash can and urged, "Hurry up and use your healing abilities to heal yourself."

Lu Siyan remained motionless, his burning gaze fixed on Cang Xingyue, completely ignoring her bleeding hand.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Siyan pulled her close and kissed her red lips.

He embraced her possessively, yet his movements were exceptionally gentle.

After the kiss, his forehead touched hers.

"You damn woman, did you love me even a little bit today?"

She lowered her gaze: "Not yet."

“It’s okay, then I will love you even more. I will wait for you, wait for the day you love me. I am willing to wait for a lifetime.”

"Am I really worth your persistence?"
