"What's the matter?"

Xie Qi took a deep breath and said slowly, "Do you know why I would rather sacrifice myself to save this dark apocalypse?"

"Why?"

Xie Qi's gaze grew distant and deep, his voice slightly lowered. "In the past, I simply wanted to fulfill Grandpa's last wish, to develop an antidote to the zombie virus and end the apocalypse. If I couldn't witness what the world would become with my own eyes, then ending it myself would be considered fulfilling Grandpa's wish."

Xie Qi paused and continued, "But now... now I have my own wish." There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, which was the longing and expectation that Lu Ze would have a bright future.

"What is the wish?"

Xie Qi reached out and gently stroked Lu Ze's cheek, as if he wanted to memorize every inch of his skin.

His eyes were filled with endless tenderness, and he whispered, "Now, how I wish my boyfriend could go see the world after the apocalypse in my place. Everything will come back to life, and you must be so beautiful standing in the flower fields. That's the scene I long to see most. This is my wish right now."

However, when Lu Ze heard this, his emotional defenses were instantly broken. He could no longer suppress his emotions, tears welled up like a dam breaking, and he broke down in tears: "You really are too much... too much..."

Xie Qi hugged Lu Ze, who was crying bitterly, tightly, and comforted him with his warm embrace. He leaned close to Lu Ze's ear and whispered softly, with a voice that was both intimate and helpless: "Yes, I have always been so excessive, so are you willing to help me?"

Lu Ze's sobs continued for a long time, as if he wanted to release all his sorrow and pain. Gradually, the sobs became weaker and weaker. Lu Ze's voice was a little hoarse as he slowly said, "Okay... I promise you."

These few short words carried so much weight and meaning. They hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth, as if time had stopped at this moment.
