Mei Is My Wife!

"This kind of world... it really is... better off destroyed..."

As Mei whispered softly, the concentration of Honkai Energy around her grew more intense. It seemed the power of the Honkai was about to completely consume her mind.

"Enough!"

"Jun Xuan..."

Seeing the young man suddenly embrace her, Mei's expression froze, and even the growth of her Honkai Energy stopped.

"The Mei I know... isn't someone who wallows in self-pity like this..."

Looking at the girl in his arms, Dong Moxuan's tone was tinged with helplessness.

He hadn't expected the influence of Honkai Energy to affect Mei so profoundly.

But then again, Honkai Energy was like poison to humans.

Expecting Mei to overcome the Honkai with her own will... he had been too arrogant.

"Mei is so cute, how could I possibly abandon her!"

Gently pressing his forehead against Mei's, Dong Moxuan's voice was incredibly soft.

"Even knowing how Mei is now... and still saying those things... I... I really was a bit too arrogant..."

"Jun... Jun Xuan, I..."

Feeling the warmth of his forehead and the boy's hot breath, the purple-haired girl's cheeks instantly flushed red.

If before, her feelings for Dong Moxuan were merely dependence and naked possessiveness, now her emotions had undergone a very subtle change.

Her face felt hot, and her heart felt a strange, tingly ache.

"Mei being like this now is my failure..."

"So... I won't abandon Mei!"

Looking at the girl before him, Dong Moxuan softly made a vow.

He knew this girl lacked a sense of security, just like he once did.

"Jun... Jun Xuan..."

As the concentration of Honkai Energy decreased, Mei gradually regained her senses.

The previous jealousy towards Kiana and the groundless anger slowly faded, and she couldn't help but feel guilty for her earlier thoughts.

How could she have doubted Jun Xuan?

He was different, he was...

"In any case..."

Dong Moxuan reached out and gently patted Mei's head.

"Let's go home!"

In that moment, Mei felt she would never forget the boy's gentle smile.

"...Mm..."

Grabbing Dong Moxuan's arm, Mei nodded softly, as obedient as a newlywed bride.

Then, Dong Moxuan led Mei away from the rooftop, leaving a certain White-haired Ball to shiver in the cold wind on the ground, looking utterly desolate.

"Those two... bastards!"

"Alright,"

After leading Mei home, Dong Moxuan looked at the girl sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup, and sighed softly. "Mei..."

"Ah! Jun... Jun Xuan..."

Mei, lost in thought, seemed to snap back to reality.

"You probably have a lot of questions for me, right? About your current condition... about the current state of Changkong City..."

Mei was silent.

After listening to Dong Moxuan, Mei rubbed the rim of her cup with her hand and lowered her head, not speaking.

After more than ten seconds, Mei's somewhat suppressed voice slowly reached Dong Moxuan's ears.

"None of that... is important..."

"As long as... Jun Xuan is by my side..."

"Mei..."

Looking at the girl, Dong Moxuan sighed softly.

"Aren't you curious why I know all this?"

He rarely felt like telling the truth.

"Mei... doesn't want to know that right now..."

Mei looked up, her eyes pleading.

"Jun Xuan... can we talk about something else?"

"...Okay..."

Dong Moxuan let out a soft sigh and walked up to Mei.

"Are you still dizzy? Is anything uncomfortable?"

"Huh?! Jun Xuan... why are you suddenly..."

Seeing Dong Moxuan approach so suddenly, Mei's face instantly turned red.

"Are you still dizzy?"

"N-no... not dizzy..."

"It seems the situation is stable for now."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who looked reasonably well, Dong Moxuan stroked his chin.

"It's getting late, and you're not feeling well, Mei. I'll make lunch today!"

"Huh?!"

Mei was a little stunned by Dong Moxuan's sudden change of topic.

However, without waiting for her answer, Dong Moxuan turned and headed straight for the kitchen.

Lunch wasn't the priority. Both Dong Moxuan and Mei needed time to think, so it was better to be apart for a while.

Watching Dong Moxuan's retreating back, Mei also let out a slight sigh of relief.

Too many things had happened today, and she needed to calm down.

"This thing..."

Looking at the arcs of electricity swirling around her arm, Mei's expression was incredibly heavy.

"What is it?"

She turned her head toward the kitchen and sighed softly. Was her choice... really the right one?

Wait, this feeling...

As soon as she summoned a trace of electricity, Mei felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her.

She quickly dispersed the lightning in her hand, but the drowsiness didn't lessen at all.

Her struggle against the will of the Honkai had drained too much of Mei's energy. The exhaustion from simply using lightning earlier was just the trigger.

Mei couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep.

"Mei, lunch is ready..."

Seeing Mei asleep on the sofa, Dong Moxuan let out a somewhat helpless smile.

"Ah... she's already asleep?"

"But it's understandable..."

Dong Moxuan carried Mei to her room and tucked her in.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Looking at Mei's sleeping face, Dong Moxuan sat beside her and muttered to himself.

"If only I hadn't let Mei become a Herrscher..."

"No, to presume to arrange someone else's life is also a form of arrogance, isn't it?"

"Mei..."

Dong Moxuan placed his hand on Mei's forehead.

"From now on... it's up to you to choose..."

"Mmm~"

In the evening, in Mei's room, the girl let out a soft groan and slowly opened her eyes.

"Where am I..."

Rubbing her head, Mei sat up.

"Mei, you're awake?"

As soon as the girl woke up, a very familiar voice reached her ears.

"Jun Xuan..."

Turning her head, she saw the gentle-looking boy, and Mei's heart settled.

"Where am I..."

"You were asleep just now..."

"Well, that's normal!"

"You didn't eat lunch, so you must be hungry, right?"

"I've already prepared dinner. Come out and eat first!"

As he spoke, Dong Moxuan walked out of the bedroom.

"How is it? Does dinner suit your taste?"

Sitting at the dining table, Dong Moxuan asked the girl in front of him.

"Mmm... Jun Xuan's cooking... is really amazing..."

"Good, since the food suits your taste, let's get down to business!"

Mei "..."

Dong Moxuan's words caused Mei's movements to stiffen slightly.
