You Ziming squatted down in front of Ye Ling and looked into her eyes: "Although I didn't plan to confess my feelings to you at this time, now that we've already talked it out, there's nothing left for me to hide."
Seeing that he was getting serious, Ye Ling was about to speak when he interrupted her: "Let me finish. I told Ye Jingyan and Wen Yanchen before that I'm not the kind of person who falls in love at first sight, nor am I the kind of superficial man who can't resist a pretty face."
Before I fell in love with you, I was already prepared to sacrifice myself for my country. In peacetime, I never thought I would fall in love with someone, because in my heart, my country comes first, and nothing is more important than my country.
After the apocalypse arrives, I will no longer care about love, because in the end times, my first priority will be to save as many people as possible and strive to survive.
As he said this, his gaze towards her deepened, and he said, "Falling in love with you was both unexpected and expected. To be honest, at first I only had respect for you, and no improper thoughts."
You have a kind heart that many people lack these days. Your kindness is measured and not excessive, which is a rare and precious quality.
I've seen everything you've done along the way, and to be honest, I might not even be able to do as well as you.
I was attracted by your personal charm, and then I slowly fell in love with you. If you ask me when I fell in love with you, you might not believe me, but I'm certain that I fell in love with you in Huafeng County.
When we were absorbing dark elements outside, I saw you injured. My heart ached and I panicked. It was then that I finally dared to face my true feelings.
With his ears turning red, he reached out and gently took Ye Ling's left hand, looking into her eyes: "Lingling, when I developed feelings for you, I considered many, many things. I considered what you were worried about, or what we were going to face."
Lingling, I won't fall in love easily, but once I do, I won't give up. I don't care who's around you. To put it bluntly, it's the end of the world; who cares about worldly views and outdated feudal ideas?
Ye Ling opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but You Ziming didn't give her a chance. He needed to finish speaking in one breath, otherwise he might be completely eliminated.
"Do you know why I want to leave with you? Because I'm the only one in this group who's a dark element. Besides facing a life-or-death crisis, you also have to deal with the backlash from the black fish in your mind."
I'm absorbing dark elements much faster than before, and I think I can definitely help you by staying by your side. Lingling, I don't ask for any response from you right now, I only ask that you agree to let me stay by your side.
Also, do you remember why I initially stayed by your side? My mission was to protect you as a stand-in. Although your strength far surpasses mine, I always felt that in crucial moments, I could still lend a hand for you.
At this moment, Ye Jingyan, who was inside the space, called out to Ye Ling, "Lingling, let us go out."
The group of people in the space had already made their arrangements, and those who stayed behind had prepared what they needed to bring.
Seeing that they were all ready and in a hurry, Ye Ling said to You Ziming, "Okay, then you can come along. But don't overthink it, I'm not in the mood for romance right now."
You Ziming smiled brightly: "I understand. I can wait."
Ye Ling released Ye Jingyan and the others out of the space. Moody and Wen Mengxia spoke at the same time: "Lingling, we've decided, we'll go with you."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, opened her arms and hugged them: "Okay, let's do it together."
Wen Mengxia's eyes welled up with tears as she said, "We are not afraid of death, so please don't exclude us from your life when things happen. We are willing to live and die with you."
Moody nodded vigorously: "I share Xiaxia's opinion."
Ye Ling nodded vigorously, then released them and said, "Go say goodbye to them. We'll leave the capital in half an hour."
At this moment, You Ziming said to Ye Jingyan, "Lingling has agreed to go with me."
Ye Jingyan wasn't surprised at all: "As expected. Protect her."
You Ziming's expression was solemn: "Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to protect her. Let's stay in touch."
Ye Boxuan pulled Ye Ling into his arms and whispered in her ear, "We've discussed it. Fourth Brother and I will stay to assist Big Brother, while Third Brother and Fifth Brother will stay by your side to protect you."
Ye Ling paused for a moment, then said, "Okay. Promise me you'll protect yourselves. I've prepared a lot of spiritual spring water, spiritual fruits, and other spiritual items for you; they're all with Ye Jingyan."
Ye Boxuan nuzzled against her neck: "Yes, I know. Lingling, don't get hurt. We'll rejoin you as soon as possible. I love you, wait for me."

Wen Mengxia went outside and found Chu Moqing on the phone. When she walked over, Chu Moqing saw her and quickly said to the phone that he would contact her later before hanging up and coming over.
Chu Moqing grabbed Wen Mengxia and pulled her into the house, kissing her without a word.
After the kiss ended, Chu Moqing looked at Wen Mengxia affectionately: "Wait for me. I will meet up with you as soon as possible."
Neither of them needed to explain; they already knew each other's decisions and what they wanted to say.
Wen Mengxia cupped his handsome face in her hands and asked, "I knew you would support my decision. When we meet again, let's not be apart again."
Chu Moqing lowered his head and kissed her. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Moody listened to Ye Ling and said goodbye to the others.
But who is she going to say goodbye to?
She wasn't familiar with the Ye brothers or Captain Chu and his group, and she wouldn't have any private interactions with them; she still maintained a sense of boundaries.
No, there's also Wei Chi; he's going to stay in the capital.
Wei Chi had helped her several times, so she should say goodbye to him.
