Chu Jinjin had witnessed humanity far more terrifying than this in the apocalypse. For herself, for profit, for survival, she remained calm, but perhaps having lived in this world for too long, she found it somewhat difficult to accept.
She abandoned her family, her lover, and even her innocence, yet these people are still worried she'll run away?
Indeed, the ten days of complete freedom were part of a different plan, but there was no escape.
Xiao Huai's gaze swept over the assembled officials, and he said in a low voice, "Issue the decree: for the next ten days, no one is to disturb Miss Jinjin. Anyone who violates this order will be executed without exception."
The ministers were stunned; how could they accept this?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, Chu Jinjin turned and walked out of the main hall without looking at the crowd.
She had no desire to fight with these people anymore, and she had a new plan.
Being unsupervised doesn't mean you can freely leave the city, but it makes it easier for Jiedu to act.
Chu Jinjin was worried about entrusting her family to Xiao Huai for protection. She didn't trust him and was also concerned about the outbreak of war. Only when her family was absolutely safe could she have no worries and devote herself wholeheartedly to her work.
Ten days is enough.
Packing my belongings, seeing the people I want to see, things are about to change, and once I leave, I really don't know when I'll be able to come back.
If the apocalypse comes, Black Hawk Village may be the last sanctuary.
As for her family, Chu Jinjin had already made arrangements for dealing with Zhan Qin.
The two arrived at her courtyard, and Chu Jinjin said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand."
Unsure if she could persuade Zhan Qin, she decided to act first and ask for his permission later.
"I understand." Zhan Qin sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "In the end, I wasn't able to protect you, Jinjin. I will take care of your family. No matter what happens, you must come back. I believe you can come back. My family and I will always be waiting for you."
The gloom in Chu Jinjin's heart dissipated considerably in an instant.
This era placed immense demands on women. Even if she was skilled enough, there was no guarantee that the most terrible thing wouldn't happen if she went to the Northern Desert for a marriage alliance.
Chu Jinjin didn't really care about chastity.
I've seen too much.
A moldy loaf of bread could attract many women, but this is not the end of the world.
She and Zhan Qin were just one step away from becoming husband and wife. To be honest, she had already planned to break up, as it would be too unfair to Zhan Qin.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. With Mu Wei's status, what kind of stunning beauty couldn't he get? He wants to marry me, not because of who I am." Chu Jinjin didn't say anything more sentimental; she could feel Zhan Qin's determination.
Perhaps this is true love: as long as that soul remains, love will always exist.
Chu Jinjin leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder: "Zhan Qin, come camping with me."
Before leaving, she wanted to give Zhan Qin a gift.
Regardless of the era, temporarily escaping the crowds and various rules to look at the stars is always a romantic thing.
Chu Jinjin had made preparations many years ago, personally designing the tent, personally supervising the maids to sew the simple quilts, as well as the water bottle and lunch box, etc.
It's a pity I've never had a chance to use it.
The two set off after dinner, and only after leaving the city gate did Chu Jinjin finally confirm that no one was following them.
It seems Xiao Huai is really determined this time.
"Jinjin, why don't you leave!" Chu Jinjin's casual remark caused Zhan Qin to suddenly lose control of his emotions. From the moment he received the news until now, he had been completely stunned.
Logically speaking, Chu Jinjin's actions were the most correct.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Only by agreeing to Mu Wei's request and getting close to him can we have a chance to find out the truth.
Life is so hard; Jinjin doesn't belong to him alone.
But watching his beloved woman leave like this, he wasn't worried about anything else, only that she would never come back. If that happened, he would probably lose the meaning of his life.
Chu Jinjin closed her eyes, and after a moment said softly, "Okay, let's leave together."
Zhan Qin was taken aback: "You really agree?"
Chu Jinjin nodded with a smile.
On a night like this, it's not appropriate to talk about anything else.
When they reached the summit, the moon had risen, and a cool breeze whistled through the air. Zhan Qin, like a doting patriarch, told Chu Jinjin to stand aside and play, insisting on setting up the tent by himself.
The earliest function of tents was to provide a place for soldiers to spend the night in battle, a fact that Zhan Qin was quite familiar with.
There was only one tent.
Zhan Qin wasn't stupid; he probably realized something and kept glancing at the figure in the moonlight.
Now that they've known each other for a while, kissed, and hugged, the next step will naturally follow.
Chu Jinjin felt like she was being set ablaze by his gaze, her whole body burning with heat. At that moment, Zhan Qin was bent over busily as if he were begging for a wife, his back straight and tall, especially when his back was to her.
She even has a perky butt?
She's really charming.
According to Chu Jinjin's thinking, if the two truly love each other, they should have done something long ago. Harmony in that area is also very important, but this era does not allow it, so they can only wait until after marriage.
My family won't object, but I feel uncomfortable at home.
She wanted to give herself to Zhan Qin, and in turn, win Zhan Qin's heart, to create a beautiful memory for this relationship. At the same time, if things went wrong, she would have no regrets.
Anyway, Zhan Qin won't suffer any losses.
The tent was quickly set up. Zhan Qin waved and said gently, "Come in and see how it is."
It's getting a bit chilly outside.
The tent was four or five square meters. Since it was made by Chu Jinjin, it was of course a high-quality product. The outside was made of a waterproof layer of fine animal hide. The tent roof inside couldn't be decorated with too many things, so it was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.
The effect is becoming apparent; it's like a small, independent world.
The bedding was of the best, and there were also two pillows.
Chu Jinjin straightened the two pillows and saw a glimpse of white peeking out.
Chu Jinjin: "......."
No wonder Liu looked so mysterious when she left, saying she had prepared everything for her and told her to pay attention to this and that.
It was a white cloth that symbolized chastity.
Zhan Qin had seen it long ago, and his whole body was burning up.
Chu Jinjin started to get nervous, took a deep breath and crawled out, saying in a shocked tone, "Let's look at the stars."
The night sky, free from industrial pollution, is bright and clear, with stars resembling distant jewels.
Soon, a shooting star streaked across the sky.
Zhan Qin clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and mumbled something.
Chu Jinjin almost burst out laughing. She had seen countless shooting stars in the apocalypse, but she didn't know about making a wish until she came to this world.
She doesn't believe in that.
If making wishes really worked, where would the end of the world come from?
But then she suddenly realized that a wish doesn't necessarily have to come true, because it has already come true.
Seemingly aware of what was about tonight, more and more shooting stars streaked across the sky, making the night sky dazzling and so beautiful that one seemed to forget everything else.
Chu Jinjin subconsciously clasped her hands together.
I hope my parents and family are healthy and safe. I hope she and Zhan Qin can grow old together. If possible, I hope they can have a few more children, preferably a boy and a girl.
