Chapter 258 Apocalypse 23
Chapter 258 Apocalypse 23
The group went to a restaurant for dinner, and Liao Huanhuan focused all her energy on her boyfriend.
Ou Weiyang completely dispelled his previous doubts.
His doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a deeper love for Liao Huanhuan.
He gazed intently at Liao Huanhuan, feeling her sincerity and enthusiasm towards him.
This further confirmed her feelings for him.
Watching the young couple beside him, so sweet and affectionate, Qi Ruiguang seemed to be infected by their love. He had originally planned to take a long-term, steady approach to love, hoping for a lifetime together. But his heart began to flutter uncontrollably.
There will never be a result if you don't speak up. Do girls really have to be the ones to say it?
"Um, do you have a boyfriend?" Qi Ruiguang tried to remain calm, but he was also a little nervous and uneasy.
Perhaps it's because she's been raised so well, clearly pampered in a greenhouse, despite the strength and confidence in her eyes. Such a girl is radiant and captivating, making one feel inferior, yet simultaneously yearning to hold her firmly in their grasp.
"Have"
After all, I've already agreed, so I guess that counts as something.
"Oh," Qi Ruiguang was clearly disappointed, but he still managed a slight smile. "I thought I'd have a chance, but it seems you're already taken. Well, with your looks, it would be abnormal if you didn't have a boyfriend. Heh, heh heh."
Seeing his pitiful yet adorable appearance, Mu Lingxi couldn't help but reach out and pat his head.
It's a bit prickly.
"Weren't you going to confess your feelings to me? After you confess, I'll have a boyfriend."
"Wh-what?" Qi Ruiguang stared blankly at Mu Lingxi.
What did she mean by that? Is it what I think?
Qi Ruiguang blinked, then blinked again, somewhat disbelieving his ears.
The world is so chaotic these days; he had mustered up all his courage just now to speak his mind. Being rejected felt perfectly reasonable, but what had he just heard?
"You agreed to be my girlfriend?" Qi Ruiguang asked cautiously, afraid that he had misunderstood.
"When did I agree?"
The light in Qi Ruiguang's eyes began to shatter, teetering on the brink of collapse, about to fall into darkness.
"Pfft," Mu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. "How can you be so funny? You believe everything you're told."
Qi Ruiguang raised his head again and muttered softly, "I only trust you."
Mu Lingxi could no longer laugh. Such a sincere heart was carefully presented to her, without any concealment or embellishment, just so straightforward, so shockingly straightforward.
Mu Lingxi was shocked, and her eyes became complicated.
She admitted that her love wasn't genuine, or even... she had never loved at all. He was merely a lone log she had to grasp on her lonely journey, clinging to it desperately in the name of love because of loneliness and insecurity.
Selfishness is human nature. Who wouldn't want a relationship where someone is willing to give everything for another without hesitation? And who could refuse such a relationship? Despite her repeated refusals, Mu Lingxi believed she had already been very kind, okay? He himself had willingly jumped into this fire pit, and even if he were to be burned alive, she believed he would be happy to do so.
A rare light rain began to fall that night, with countless raindrops weaving a net that enveloped City A.
The weather, which was still hot during the day, suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Ou Weiyang opened the window a crack, then quickly closed it again. A gust of cold wind blew, making his hair stand on end and causing him to shiver.
"The temperature is changing way too fast."
Ou Weiyang pulled his coat even tighter around himself.
"Darling, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here tonight."
Liao Huanhuan came out of the kitchen, put the dishes on the table, and glared at him.
"If you really want to go out, I won't stop you." Liao Huanhuan casually draped her apron over the chair and slowly walked towards her boyfriend, her smile both gentle and wicked, a side of her that Ou Weiyang had never seen before.
She used to be charming, domineering, and full of energy.
"The gates to the compound are closed, and there are still hordes of monsters outside. Little prey, where do you think you're going to escape to?"
Imposing presence is always associated with height. In order to show her imposing 2.8-meter height, Liao Huanhuan pulled the person down a bit.
Ou Weiyang cooperated fully, bending over with a fawning smile.
"Young Miss, I was wrong. You can punish me however you want. Just don't kick me out. It's cold and scary outside. I'm such a poor thing. Once I step out of this door, I won't be able to come back."
Liao Huanhuan raised her chin, looking smug.
"Hmph, I'll just let you stay for one night. I'm beautiful and kind-hearted, and I can't bear to see some people suffer."
Ou Weiyang found it amusing, but on the surface he still pretended to be pitiful.
"Thank you so much, Miss. You are truly kind-hearted, a reincarnation of a living Buddha. I will definitely repay you."
Liao Huanhuan smiled gently and waved her hand.
"You know that's good enough, stop being so mushy. Go wash your hands, dinner's ready soon."
"As you command, young lady."
Ou Weiyang dashed into the bathroom, and Liao Huanhuan giggled behind him, clearly in a very good mood.
"Try this stir-fried eggs with chili peppers, I made it myself." Of all the dishes on the table, this was the only one she made herself; the rest were all takeout from restaurants that afternoon.
Ou Weiyang picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his girlfriend's bowl; it was her favorite dish.
"I didn't like eating fish originally."
Ou Weiyang's hand, which was holding the food, was caught in a dilemma—whether to retract it or not. Just as he was about to take the fish back, Liao Huanhuan nimbly pressed it down.
“What’s in my bowl is mine. I didn’t say I didn’t like it right now.”
"Then I'll add some more for you." He added a few more pieces of fish, along with other vegetables and meat, filling the bowl to the brim, to the point that there was no room left.
Liao Huanhuan rolled her eyes at him, her voice choked with emotion, "You've picked up so much food, aren't you afraid I'll get fat?"
"I like her even if she's chubby. My girlfriend looks good no matter what."
"Grumpy."
Ou Weiyang smiled but remained silent. He understood that women loved beauty. If his answer had been even slightly off, the harmonious scene before them would not be what it was now.
Ou Weiyang ate his stir-fried eggs with chili peppers with a satisfied expression.
Liao Huanhuan put the fish in her mouth and chewed it for a while. The taste of the pickled cabbage and the freshness of the fish were usually the perfect combination. But for some reason, she tasted a slightly bitter flavor as she ate.
Liao Huanhuan suddenly smiled, her face full of satisfaction.
"Sauerkraut fish is indeed the best dish in the world."
As she spoke, she began frantically piling food onto Ou Weiyang's plate.
"If I get fat in the future, you have to get fat too. That way we'll look more like a perfect match when we stand together."
Soon, Ou Weiyang's bowl was filled to the size of a small mountain.
Looking at each other's rice bowls, the two smiled at each other, creating a very warm atmosphere.
"bang"
The warm atmosphere was broken as the two of them looked toward the source of the sound.
It seems to be coming from the bedroom.
"Stay here and don't move." Ou Weiyang stood up to check the situation.
Liao Huanhuan grabbed his hand, a fleeting look of panic on her face.
"A mouse got into the house a couple of days ago, I think it was a mouse? The bedroom is a mess, I haven't tidied it up yet. There are some things... that I don't want you to see." Liao Huanhuan lowered her head and snuggled into her boyfriend's arms, her fluffy little head revealing how shy she was at that moment.
Ou Weiyang was somewhat moved and lowered his head to kiss the whorl of her hair.
How can my girlfriend be so cute?
"Alright, let's eat quickly, or I won't be able to hold back any longer."
