Picking Up My Ex-Wife in the Apocalypse

When she was young, Si Qi thought no one loved Si Ruxu more than she did.

In the fifth year of their love, Si Ruxu looked at the gift Si Qi had hidden behind her back, a smile playing on her lips. She casually and nonchalantly announced the end of their relationship as if it were of no importance.

Then, the apocalypse descended. When they met again, Si Ruxu was the earliest awakened, a high-level dual-attribute ability user, while Si Qi was an ordinary person discarded by the apocalypse, thrown out as the first layer of human shield to cover ability users when the zombie horde arrived.

The moment she was swallowed by the zombie horde, Si Qi thought, if she'd known it would be this pathetic, she would have stayed far away from Si Ruxu and fought for a way out on her own.

After the agony of her flesh being torn apart, she was reborn the day before she was bitten to death by a zombie. She decided to stay far away from there.

On the first day of survival, Si Qi blended into the crowd, watching from afar as Si Ruxu, surrounded, entered the high-levels of the base. With just one glance, she averted her gaze, thinking of hiding the bread in her arms.

On the tenth day of difficult survival, Si Qi escaped outside the base and rescued Si Ruxu, who had been injured and whose abilities were chaotic. She narrowly survived helping her recover and heal, then left (fled).

When they met again, the other party didn't spare her a single glance, watching coldly as she was slandered for stealing the ultimate weapon, trapped by countless ability users, and fell into a black hole.

On the Nth day of difficult survival, she was cornered by Si Ruxu against a broken wall. Behind her were wildly dancing mutant plants, and in front, a chaotic tide of zombies. Si Qi tilted her head, a faint, calm smile on her face. With a raise of her hand, the situation drastically changed. "Do you wish for us to share a bed in life and a tomb in death?"

What Si Qi didn't know was that for countless days and nights after she went missing, Si Ruxu tossed and turned sleeplessly. She thought, if the price of learning to love was losing the one she loved most, then that price was too heavy.

When they met again, she set herself on fire, willing to offer everything she had, begging Si Qi to love her a little more, just like before.

No one would know that Si Ruxu was the moon Si Qi yearned for but couldn't reach, her seven-year itch of love she couldn't have.

If life was a suspended net, then she was willing to sink there, never seeing the sun.
