Apocalypse Arrival - chapter 191

A bright moon rose from the sea.

The dark sea was covered with fine silver light.

Ye Peitian looked at Chu Qianxun’s eyes as it was also reflected in such a thin silver brilliance. His chest was slightly undulating, and his face turned red. After considering it several times, he still did not speak.

Chu Qianxun almost suspected that the shy-faced man would take out a ring from his pocket in the next moment to ask her to marry him.

A scene flashed in her mind that was deep in memory. In the scene, there was a hand wearing a ring. This hand had just stroked the bride happily, and after a while it was soaked in the scarlet blood and wasn’t moving. 

She witnessed the heart-piercing pain of her friend and captain after losing her partner, and saw a sunny and strong girl become a living corpse.

Since that time, Chu Qianxun had subconsciously avoided the opposite sex in those difficult years.

At this moment, the man in front of her looked at her full of strong emotions, he didn’t talk, but Chu Qianxun could almost hear the tender words that were stuck in his throat.

Chu Qianxun took a step back slightly.

She found that she was a distorted and despicable person emotionally. Although she had selfishly possessed this man, she wanted to avoid this excessively strong emotion with some fear.

Ye Peitan keenly discovered that something was wrong with Chu Qianxun, and grasped her hand that was quietly backing away.

“Qianxun, did my death that day scare you? That’s why you got so impulsive to be with me…”

“Nonsense, how can I be afraid of that? I saw too many dead people.”

Chu Qianxun moved her gaze to the lower left corner.

Ye Peitian was very familiar with the expressions she made.

When Qianxun was excited, her eyes would shine, and she couldn’t help but lick her lips. She liked to touch her chin when she was content. When she was uneasy, she would unconsciously turn her eyes to the lower left corner as she did at this moment in front of him.

“I think I understand your feelings, and I have felt the same way myself.” Ye Peitian squeezed her hand and looked at her seriously, “Do you remember the time you let me guard you to advance? That night, I watched those terrifying green lines repeatedly cover your face and then fade away. At that time, I hated myself for not expressing myself to you earlier, for not being able to cherish time, and being closer to you… a little.”

This was a young and introverted boy. At the moment, the affection in his heart was surging like the most intense waves on the coast, but he was embarrassed to continue.

‘I really like Qianxun,’ he repeated in his mind.

The mighty and tough Qianxun made people admire her. But Qianxun showing a little fragility was also so nostalgic.

Ye Peitian’s face was reddened, and he gently touched Chu Qianxun’s hair, and kissed the person he treasured.

Thousands of words rolled back and forth in his heart, who was not good at words, and finally condensed into a short sentence.

“Qianxun, don’t worry, I…” He swallowed, as if this sentence was very difficult to say, “I won’t die before you.”

Chu Qianxun, who had experienced the previous ten years, could understand the weight of Ye Peitian’s words.

Sometimes dying in battle was a kind of relief, and it was cruel to those who had paid a strong feeling but were left behind. He was willing to keep this cruelty to himself.

“Nonsense. Am I that useless?”

Seeing Ye Peitian like this, Chu Qianxun suddenly felt that the decadence in her heart disappeared. Standing on the ruins of the 33-story high-rise building, looking at the sea, sky, and moonlight, she felt fearless about the road ahead again. 

She hugged Ye Peitian’s neck, kissed his lips back, kissed his cheek all the way, and kissed his neck.

The courage that this shy man had just gathered up disappeared immediately. He started blushing, and wanted to avoid her.

“We will be seen by others.”

“Who just took the initiative to touch me and kiss me, huh?” Chu Qianxun grabbed his collar and prevented him from running. She gently rubbed his red earlobe with her teeth, “Don’t worry, how can I be willing to let you suffer this kind of sin? I’m so strong, I will never leave you alone. We will be together for a long time, and you can’t run even if you want to.”

In the dim night, layers of skirt-like white waves appeared on the dark sea.
