In the thick darkness of night, separated by a screen of light, two people who were once inseparable silently gazed at each other.
After a long moment, Yun Ye sighed. "Xiaoxi, do you remember what you promised me back then?"
Gu Xi nodded, not denying it. "I remember. I said that once the apocalypse was over, I would retire from the world with you and leave worldly affairs behind."
Yun Ye smiled gently. "So after that, I was simply fulfilling the promise we made to each other. But your teammates, it seems, didn't think the same way."
He looked at her with a regretful expression, his gentle tone seemingly hiding endless grievances. "Xiaoxi, from the beginning, they never liked me…"
Gu Xi calmly cut him off, looking up to ask, "And what about you? Did you like them?"
