On your feet! Applaud!

When Xie Ji opened his eyes, he felt cold. Even though his whole body was soaked in the repair fluid, there was a strange cold wind blowing out, gradually making his heart cold and numb.

His safe room was discovered and retrieved by soldiers patrolling the Second War Zone, and then transported back to the war zone.

Xie Ji blinked and slowly sat up from the repair fluid.

"Are you alright?" The doctor in the white coat leaned over and asked, "Is there anything bothering you?"

Xie Ji's numb mind struggled to process what was happening, then he grabbed the doctor's sleeve in a panic, his voice hoarse, "Where's Lu Xunji? Where's Lu Xunji?!"

The doctor was startled by his sudden outburst. "Commander Lu... you seemed to have gone to the watchtower just now. He said you might look for him if you woke up, but would you like to change into some clean clothes first...?"

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Xie Ji had already stood up from the repair fluid and rushed out in a hurry.

-

The tallest watchtower in the Second War Zone, standing over 700 meters high, soars into the clouds and offers a panoramic view of the entire Second War Zone.

Xie Ji was brought up by the elevator, and Lu Xunji stood at the top of the tower, facing him.

"... You're back." Lu Xunji looked at him, a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Actually, you've exceeded the time limit. I said three days, but it's already the fifth day, Xie Ji."

Xie Ji gasped for breath, his voice trembling, "You know everything."

Lu Xunji nodded. "I was wondering why that snake felt so familiar. It turns out it was my Guardian Spirit. A thousand years ago, I placed it on you, hoping it could gather your scattered divine consciousness... Master... never mind, I prefer to call you Xie Ji now."

Xie Ji swallowed hard. "Let's not talk about that now. Come here first."

"You have so much, and you care about so much, so sometimes I seem less important, even though I often get angry about these things." Lu Xunji looked at him, his steps unwavering. "But I still hope that you will never lose what you have, Xie Ji. I don't want you to feel guilty, I don't want you to blame yourself, I don't want you to be downcast."

"I want you, for a thousand years, for ten thousand years, with the praises of pepper blossoms."

Xie Ji was almost completely overwhelmed. He dared not approach and could only helplessly cover his eyes, pleading, " Lu Xunji, don't do this, don't do this, don't scare me like this. Please come here first, we'll think of something else. Lu Xunji, no!"

There is no other way.

"The monster in that tree is a vengeful spirit that died at my hands a thousand years ago. Only my blood can stop them, only my life can restart the world." Lu Xunji smiled slightly, "My only regret is bringing you into my world, even though your world is much grander and more splendid. Xie Ji, I love you very much. I am willing to give everything for you, even my life, because you said you love me. This is the most precious thing I have ever received in my life."

"I know, I know everything, please come here, I beg you." Xie Ji could barely stand.

"I love you too, Lu Xunji, I love you. I don't want you to save me, I don't want you to save anyone else. Come here, let me kiss you... baby."

Xie Ji said in a hoarse voice, "Since a thousand years ago, people have told me that loving you is against common sense, an obstacle to one's future, a loss of self-control, a shattering of hope, a destruction of happiness, and a destiny to taste all frustration and disappointment. But, Di Mang, Lu Xunji, I like you, I am willing to love you."

Lu Xunji smiled and said, "Thank you. I really enjoy hearing these things, so don't be sad, because at least I'm happy."

He was a complete madman. No one had ever taught him how to love. He could only break his bones, mix them with his flesh and blood, and use what he had left and only to please his lover.

Lu Xunji fell backward in Xie Ji's sight, the gravity system established in the war zone instantly causing him to plummet downwards at high speed.

" Lu Xunji!" Xie Ji rushed over quickly and jumped down almost without hesitation!

The hurricane whipped past his ears, stinging him. He reached out and grabbed Lu Xunji's hand, embracing him as they plummeted.

Lu Xunji hugged him.

Lu Xunji's liking and love are pure madness, a pursuit that abandons everything, and a rebirth amidst destruction.

He could hear Lu Xunji's rapid heartbeat, the howling wind, and the system's sharp cries amidst the chaotic wind.

[System notification: Target [ Lu Xunji ]'s favorability towards you has increased by 100. Favorability has now reached its maximum! Mission successful. Congratulations, host!]

The wind suddenly stopped, time stood still, and everything came to a halt.

Xie Ji's five senses felt like they were blocked by cotton. The immense feeling of weightlessness made him dizzy. The expected shattering into pieces did not happen. Instead, Xie Ji was like a bungee jumper, falling to the lowest point and being quickly bounced back by the rope.

He heard Ji Shi Lu Xunji's laughter, Mu Yao and Zhou Heyu's voices, Shang Yan calling him to eat, and Shen Ting spinning a coin.

A jumble of sounds rushed through his mind, and he opened his eyes, annoyed.

The familiar ceiling came into view.

It wasn't the military academy dormitory, nor Young Field's deserted island villa, but... his room at the Xie Household's house?

Xie Ji suddenly sat up.

He pinched himself. "Ouch!"

It hurts so much, it's not a dream.

Who is he? Where is he? Was everything just a dream?

Xie Ji took a while to pick up the personal terminal beside him, intending to send a message to Lu Xunji.

The investigation revealed that there was no contact information for Lu Xunji in the computer, not even for Lu Xunji Shang Yan, Mu Yao, Ji Shi anyone else.

"..."

Is this really a dream?

Xie Ji stood up, walked over and opened the door. On the flower stand in the corridor, beautiful roses were covered with dew.

He walked over as if possessed, carefully picked a red rose, and lowered his head in thought.

This scene seems a little familiar.

Why does he really want to put the rose in his mouth right now?

Before he could come to any conclusion, the door next to him was opened.

The familiar boy, with black hair and purple eyes, wearing a white sleeveless short-sleeved shirt, leaned against the door frame with one hand.

Xie Ji turned to meet his gaze. "..."

The boy tilted his head and pointed at the rose in his hand from a distance. "Is it for me?"

Xie Ji handed it over blankly. "... Don't I still have lines I haven't said?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Xunji took the roses, put his arm around Xie Ji's waist, and lowered his head to kiss his lips. "This is enough."

I long for someone to love me fiercely, to love me unconditionally until death, to understand that love is as powerful as death, and to stand by my side forever.

I long for someone to destroy me, and to be destroyed by me.

-The End-

Everyone is resurrected!!

Stand up! Applause!

There should be one more chapter, a post-disaster epilogue where everyone survives.
