Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng lay in bed, reminiscing about the past few years.
These past few years have been full of ups and downs, but ultimately, things have turned out well.
Ye Yunxi hugged Fu Heng and said, "Aheng, thank you for the fireworks today. They were really beautiful. They also fulfilled other people's wishes, allowing the people at the base to buy fireworks and firecrackers."
Fu Heng smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? We did all this just for you, not for anyone else."
Ye Yunxi kissed Fu Heng on the cheek, and Fu Heng kissed her on the forehead in return.
The two soon fell asleep.
More than a week later, Ye Yunxi had been staying at home since the Lunar New Year.
I visited the Lu family to offer New Year's greetings and even had a meal there.
Grandpa Lu seems to be in good spirits right now, and the effects are very noticeable when he takes her spiritual spring water and medicine together.
I also visited Director Wu and Professor Hu.
The base is currently developing in a positive direction, and we have not received any requests for assistance from other places.
Everything seemed to be going very peacefully.
That day, Chen Zhe felt it was about time, so he went to the research center to find Zhang Haiyi. He looked around but there was no one there.
He asked in a low voice, "Haiyi, there's something Sister Yunxi wants me to ask you: do you want to marry Qingqing?"
Zhang Haiyi looked at Chen Zhe with a puzzled expression and asked him.
What does this mean?
Chen Zhe said with a hint of disappointment.
"Are you stupid? It means exactly what it says. Let me tell you, before the New Year, Qingqing told us that she wanted to marry you, but for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to say it."
Yunxi asked me to ask you this. She also asked me if I wanted to marry Ajing. I made it clear that I definitely want to marry her.
Sister Yunxi said that if you're willing to marry Qingqing, she'll arrange our wedding. So, what do you mean? Tell me quickly so I can talk to Sister Yunxi.”
Zhang Haiyi was quite frightened by Chen Zhe's words. He also wanted to marry Qingqing, but he was afraid she would refuse; the world was not what it used to be.
Survival is difficult enough these days, let alone marriage and having children.
Seeing that Zhang Haiyi was not speaking, Chen Zhe asked him anxiously.
"Haiyi, tell me! What are you thinking now?"
Zhang Haiyi looked at Chen Zhe and spoke to him.
"I want to tell Yunxi myself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe thought, "That's great! It's much better than having someone relay the message; it's clearest when it's said face-to-face."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go tell Sister Yunxi now!"
Zhang Haiyi nodded and told him to wait a moment while he went to ask Old He for leave.
Chen Zhe waited outside for a few minutes, but instead of Zhang Haiyi, he saw Fu Heng.
When Fuheng saw him, he asked him curiously.
"Ah Zhe, what are you doing here?"
Chen Zhe saw Fu Heng and smiled as he spoke to him.
"Brother Heng, I came to see Haiyi about something. He went to ask for leave from Old He. I'll wait for him here."
Fu Heng nodded and was about to leave when Zhang Haiyi came out, greeted him, and left with Chen Zhe.
The two drove there, and arrived at Ye Yunxi's house in about ten minutes. Chen Zhe got out of the car and called out to Ye Yunxi from outside.
"Sister Yunxi, it's me, Chen Zhe, we're here!"
Ye Yunxi was watching a TV series when she heard someone call her. Upon closer listening, she realized it was Chen Zhe. She put her tablet on the sofa and went to open the door.
Once she confirmed that it was Chen Zhe and Zhang Haiyi at the door, she immediately opened the iron gate and let them in.
The two greeted Ye Yunxi in unison.
"Sister Yunxi!"
"Good afternoon, Yunxi!"
Ye Yunxi smiled. "Come in, let's talk at home!"
The three of them walked back into the house one after the other. Ye Yunxi poured them two glasses of water first, and then sat quietly to the side watching them, waiting for them to speak.
Chen Zhe was also waiting for Zhang Haiyi to speak, but after a while he still didn't say anything, so he anxiously spoke for him.
"Sister Yunxi, it's like this, didn't you ask me to ask Haiyi what he thought? I just asked him, and he said he would come over to talk to you in person."
He turned to look at Zhang Haiyi and urged him on.
"Speak up! You're already at Sister Yunxi's house, what can't you say?"
Zhang Haiyi looked at Chen Zhe, then at Ye Yunxi, and sighed.
"Yunxi, Chen Zhe has already explained it to me clearly, and I've thought about it carefully. I want to marry Qingqing, but..."
He didn't know how to say the rest, so Ye Yunxi looked at him quietly and said it.
"But you don't know if Qingqing will agree, right?"
Zhang Haiyi nodded and continued.
"Yes, I'm afraid she won't agree, because in the current situation, it's difficult enough to survive, let alone get married and have children, which is a distant dream."
Ye Yunxi continued to ask him, "Since you want to marry Qingqing, why not be braver? So what if it's the apocalypse? So what if you don't live to see the end of the apocalypse?"
If you don't do what you want to do now, then if you don't survive the apocalypse, you and Qingqing will both have regrets, won't you?"
Chen Zhe chimed in from the side, "Yes, Haiyi, Sister Yunxi is right. Don't be afraid of the apocalypse. We've been living well all these years, haven't we? We've always managed to escape danger. Look at me, I'm different. I want to marry Ajing. That's my wish, and it would be my blessing to marry her."
You need to be brave and express your feelings to Qingqing. Let her know you want to marry her, instead of just living like this until the day you die, because then you'll have regrets!
Zhang Haiyi felt a pang of emotion after hearing their words. They were right; if he didn't marry Qingqing, he might have regrets when he died.
"Actually, Qingqing and I had a marriage agreement, but it was only verbal. In the past few years, you've only seen Qingqing and me at home, but you haven't seen our parents. In fact, our parents passed away at the beginning of the apocalypse."
At that time, my family and Qingqing's family lived in the same building, one floor above the other. My mother and Qingqing's mother were best friends, and the two families were very close. When we were children, because of the close relationship between the two families, my parents and Qingqing's parents arranged a marriage between us, making our two families even closer.
As we grew up, both our families had some money, and we went to the same school from kindergarten to university. Qingqing wasn't good at math, so I would tutor her. Our families often ate together, and both sets of parents hoped that we would get married after we grew up and started working.
We had only been working since graduation that year, and then the apocalypse came. At first, both sets of parents stockpiled supplies, and we all stayed at home, thinking that the natural disaster would end soon.
But then it rained heavily and relentlessly. Both families were running low on supplies. The floodwaters had reached the fifth floor, and the people living downstairs had no food or shelter. They went door-to-door asking for food and shelter. Neither of us opened the door. We were barely able to survive ourselves; we couldn't possibly give supplies to others.
