"Hold it."
Li He raised a hand.
"First of all, I don't like tragic endings. Or rather, I absolutely hate them. I like happy endings—making dumplings. Even if you have to force the filling in, a dumpling is still a dumpling."
Su Yuqing blinked at that. "So, are you going to say yes?"
"I'm not interested in dating."
"That was a pretty decisive rejection—"
Seeing Su Yuqing looking somewhat dejected, Li He asked instead, "I don't think our relationship has reached the point of dating. If anything, I think you're acting a little strangely. Do you want to date me because you like me as a person, or because I'm the only one here right now?"
The question was extremely direct, leaving Su Yuqing momentarily stunned.
She thought for a while before answering with some confusion, "I don't know either—but it probably isn't because you're the only one here. I've always felt that you're different from other people. If I were going to experience dating, doing it with you would probably be more interesting—"
"As for finding someone else? I can't really imagine it—"
It was a thoroughly muddled answer.
For a moment, Li He had no idea how to respond. He didn't really understand that line of thinking.
Still, he could understand Su Yuqing's panic at this moment.

It was perfectly normal to feel uneasy after losing one's strength.
Li He opened his mouth, about to say something.
Just then.
"Mmm—" A low groan came from beside them. Yun Che, who had been sleeping against a rock, moved and slowly opened his eyes.
