Bai Chulan looked tired as he leaned gently against the wall.
Knowing that Ruan Tian was really leaving, they stopped trying to stop her.
The more you want to keep someone, the tighter you hold on, the less likely you are to keep them.
Bai Chulan asked softly, "When are you leaving?"
Ruan Tian replied, "I'll leave immediately after the Red Moon ends."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chulan fell silent, continuing to lean against the wall, his weary expression inexplicably deepening.
Ruan Tian carefully sat down next to Bai Chulan and gently coaxed him:
"I had no choice but to leave you, and it's not like we'll never see each other again, right?"
Hearing Ruan Tian say that, Bai Chulan remained indifferent.
He knew he and Ruan Tian would meet again, but when would they meet?
Bai Chulan is very smart; she has already realized that Ruan Tian is not alone and that she will meet many more interesting people in the future.
Will Ruan Tian still remember herself by then?
This is what terrifies Bai Chulan the most.
He was terrified that someone incredibly important to Ruan Tian would appear.
She knew that her position in Ruan Tian's heart would gradually be replaced by that person.
However, Bai Chulan's pride prevented him from frankly expressing his inner worries.
Ultimately, his reaction was to remain silent and expressionless, but in reality, he was panicked and fearful.
Holding Bai Chulan's hand, Ruan Tian sensed his negative emotions and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Bai Chulan turned her head away, not letting Ruan Tian see the expression on her face, her voice as calm as a cloud:
"No."
Ruan Tian pressed for a few more questions, but seeing that Bai Chulan was truly unwilling to answer, she gave up.
Then, Ruan Tian had a flash of inspiration and a new question came to mind. She said to the system:
"System, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it feels like the Red Moon is refreshing faster."
System: [Host, you are not mistaken.]
In the beginning, the Red Moon refreshed once a month.
But now it's refreshed once a week.
With the shortening of the time between red moons, will future generations have to live under the red moon every day?
"Under the red moon, zombies' abilities in all aspects will be greatly enhanced, while humans will be restricted in every way."
System: [That's right, those humans who survive will be the best.]
Fortunately, Ruan Tian owns an electric tricycle that can protect herself and can be upgraded indefinitely.
By the time the apocalypse truly arrives, Ruan Tian's electric tricycle will have been upgraded to who knows what form it will take, but it will definitely be fine for self-defense.
Therefore, she needs a large number of crystal cores!
Ruan Tian asked again, "System, can you give me a spoiler in advance? What will the stroller become after it's upgraded to a certain level?"
Actually, she's quite satisfied with this electric tricycle now.
System: [I dare say, by then, the superpowers you possess will be a miracle of the entire apocalypse!]
When the system spoke, it showed a rare emotional fluctuation, indicating that it was genuinely excited.
Ruan Tian murmured to herself, "A miracle of the apocalypse?"
Lost in thought, she was suddenly approached by a heavy object.
Ruan Tian turned around and found that Bai Chulan had fallen asleep at some point.
He gave his "second life" to Ruan Tian, but forming a contract would consume a lot of his mental energy.
In addition, Bai Chulan had been tormented by Bi Wan these past few days, and her body was already exhausted, so she fell asleep immediately.
Ruan Tian didn't disturb him, and leaned her shoulders down slightly to make Bai Chulan more comfortable.
She was also a little sleepy, so Bai Chulan rested his head on her shoulder, and she rested her head on Bai Chulan's shoulder.
The two of them, like little animals seeking warmth from each other, snuggled together and fell into a deep sleep.
...
The red moon tide ended the next day.
The blood-red moon descended, and the dazzling sunlight rose again.
Ruan Tian slept soundly, and when she woke up, she found herself lying on Bai Chulan's lap.
He woke up sometime earlier and was eating a small cake.
After noticing that Ruan Tian was awake, he looked up and met her gaze.
Ruan Tian winked playfully: "Is it delicious?"
"Mmm, delicious."
Bai Chulan indeed thought it was delicious. The thought that Ruan Tian had made it especially for her made the cake taste even better.
Ruan Tian smiled, revealing her little tiger teeth: "As long as you like to eat it, I'll be super happy!"
She got up, glanced out the window, and felt the warm sunlight on her body, dispelling the chill.
Ruan Tian stretched and did a set of calisthenics to loosen her muscles before speaking:
"Bai Chulan, I'm leaving now."
"good."
Bai Chulan finished the last bite of cake, then stood up and stared at Ruan Tian's back.
Ruan Tian knew he couldn't bear to part with her, and for a moment she shuffled her toes on the ground, unsure of how to begin.
"I understand, you have your own reasons, I'll take you there."
Ruan Tian let out a long sigh of relief. She finally turned around, skipped over to him, and asked curiously:
"Where are you going?"
Bai Chulan definitely can't stay in City C any longer, given Bi Wan's pathological desire to control him...
Even if it means digging up every inch of City C, she's determined to bring Bai Chulan back!
"My target is City A, so don't worry about me. On the contrary, it's you..."
He paused, remained silent for a long while, and then continued speaking to Ruan Tian:
"You're a bit careless. Be extra careful when you're out alone."
Ruan Tian secretly thought to herself, "I'm not that stupid, am I?"
Although she was inwardly complaining, she still obediently nodded and said, "I understand!"
The two went their separate ways completely.
Bai Chulan didn't ask Ruan Tian where she was going; she simply raised her hand and waved at her twice.
After the Red Moon tide, there were actually fewer zombies on the streets.
In addition, the terrain here is so remote that not a single zombie can be seen.
A breeze blew by, a breeze that was strangely gentle, as if it were about to blow away the sunlight above their heads, giving them a sense of peace before the apocalypse.
Ruan Tian sat on the electric tricycle, in a good mood. She turned to look at Bai Chulan, smiled, and waved.
"goodbye!"
Bai Chulan nodded gently, and following Ruan Tian's example, raised her hand as well. For once, the corners of her lips turned up, revealing a gentle smile.
"Okay, see you next time."
Ruan Tian was in a hurry to get to her destination, so after saying goodbye, she immediately turned the handlebars.
She pedaled her electric tricycle briskly and quickly disappeared from Bai Chulan's sight.
As Bai Chulan watched Ruan Tian's figure gradually shrink to the size of a grain of rice, he couldn't help but scoff, lowering his head and muttering:
"Heartless."
But she herself didn't even realize the doting tone in her words.
Then, when he looked up again, there was no longer any negative emotion in his beautiful amber eyes.
When we meet again, let's both be better versions of ourselves.
Bai Chulan had everything prepared, and strode out, her tone firm yet gentle:
"Then I look forward to our next meeting."
