Xiang Qing found Yi Mu in the base's chess and card room.
The ocean floor is so deep, lonely and boring, and there are far fewer entertainment facilities than on land.
The card room is the only place for entertainment. Gambling is not allowed here, but a set of rules circulates in secret.
Whoever loses has to grant the winner one request.
This request is usually not too excessive; it's more for entertainment and mainly aims to make people laugh.
Yi Mu had no talent for gambling; he was just there for fun, and ended up losing three rounds in a row.
There are no women in the underwater base; the only female is the cook in the cafeteria.
Yi Mu is good-looking, not the effeminate type, but a rare kind of handsome among men, and he also has a straightforward personality.
He lost, and everyone punished him by making him drink.
After a few glasses of high-concentration vodka, the beauty's face was flushed with a rosy hue, making her so stunning that it was impossible to look away.
These officers had been at the bottom of the sea for three years without women, so it wasn't a secret that they were having affairs with each other.
But all around him were big, hard men, and nothing compared to the visual impact of the tall, slender beauty in front of him.
Yi Mu had a decent alcohol tolerance, but after three drinks, he was noticeably tipsy and his speech was slurred.
A man sat down next to Yi Mu. He could perform some magic tricks. He used to use this trick to pick up many girlfriends. Now, as a cheat, he could easily make Yi Mu lose.
Yimu threw down his cards and lost again.
The officers around him stared at him with burning eyes, urging him to have another drink.
If this beauty gets drunk, whoever takes her home will have a one-night stand with her, and she'll be incredibly beautiful.
Yi Mu didn't refuse and picked up the wine glass to his lips.
Xiang Qing stepped forward from behind him, snatched the wine glass, and downed the wine in one gulp.
He was a new face, and several officers stood up in dissatisfaction.
"Who the hell are you? Do you think alcohol is for you to drink?"
Xiang Qing remained silent.
Yi Mu suddenly stood up with a smile, turned around, hugged Xiang Qing's neck, and leaned down to kiss her.
Xiang Qing paused for a moment, then cupped the back of Yi Mu's head and deepened the kiss.
Everyone was dumbfounded; judging from their affectionate behavior, they must know each other.
Maybe it's this beauty's boyfriend who couldn't find her, so he came looking for her.
The couple, who were deeply in love, broke up, and the crowd, forced to witness their public display of affection, cheered, "One more time!"
Xiang Qing turned around, picked up the half-drunk Yi Mu, and nodded to the crowd, "Sorry to bother you."
He carried Imu back to the room and put him on the bed.
Yi Mu lay on the bed, half-closing his eyes as he looked at him, feeling that he didn't seem quite real.
Xiang Qing rested her hands on either side of his head, looking down at her lover.
Why did you leave just now?
If Xiang Qing had to choose between Yi Mu, his father, and his family, he would choose Yi Mu without hesitation.
But Yi Mu doesn't seem to think that way.
He lacked confidence in himself, in Xiang Qing, and in their relationship.
Yi Mu didn't know how to answer that question.
He could be arrogant and domineering in front of others, but he had no right to be arrogant in front of Xiang Qing.
Once you care about someone, you'll become anxious, feel inferior, and overthink things.
During the early stages of the apocalypse, neither Imu's mother nor his stepfather made a single phone call to him.
At that moment, he realized that he had no family left in this world.
But Xiang Qing is different; he has a family to take care of and a father who is his blood relative.
Yi Mu dared not gamble; he had no chips at all and always felt that he was bound to lose.
Yi Mu looked at the man with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and asked him, "If your father threatened you with death, would you marry Yu Die?"
Xiang Qing made Yi Mu look into his eyes and firmly told him, "Even if the earth is destroyed one day, I will not marry her."
