I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse
136 Iâll Cook You a Pot of Braised Pork
He Xing then took out all sorts of guns. Du Yue had seen some of them in videos or books before, but most of them were things she had never seen before. He Xing even took out a cannon and placed it on his shoulder. âThis thing is very powerful. It only takes one shell to blow a group of wild boars into pieces. Do you like it? If you like it, I can teach you how to use it the next time we go out. Although this thing is convenient, we wonât be able to collect the carcasses and exchange them for contribution points, which is why I didnât take it out for you before.â
Listening to He Xingâs long-winded talk about the two of them, Du Yue felt her heart warm for some reason. She looked at him with a faint smile. âYouâve told me all your secrets. If I donât agree to be with you, will you use this to blow me up?â
He Xing waved his hands, looking frightened. âWhat are you saying? No matter what, I wonât hurt you, and I wonât allow anyone to hurt you either.â
âAlright, then I wonât agree to it.â
âAh, can you think about it again? I donât smoke, I donât drink, Iâm loyal to my lover, and I wonât cheat. I can stand between you and danger when you need me. I can also wait for you obediently behind you when you donât need me. Iâm willing to be your background.
âIf you donât like to interact with the people in the base, I can interact with them. I guarantee that youâll be the first to know all the news. If you donât like going out, I can stay at home with you. We can cook together and plant fruits and vegetables. If you want to go out and hunt, I can drive you, give you a gun, and help you carry your prey. No matter what needs you have, Iâm confident that I can satisfy them. Iâve never been in love, and I donât know how to say sweet words. But I promise you one thing, Iâll always stand behind you and support you. When youâre tired, Iâll be there to support you.â
Du Yue, who had lived two lives, no longer wanted a relationship that was so sweet that it was sickening, nor did she want a life-and-death relationship where love was the only thing on her mind. He Xingâs confession was very straight and unromantic. However, Du Yueâs requirements for her other half were absolute loyalty and eternal companionship.
Du Yue looked up at him, her eyes glimmering. âWhat can I do to make you believe me?â
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xing put the cannon aside and took out a dagger that glinted coldly. Without even blinking, He Xing quickly cut his palm with the knife, and blood gushed out.
He Xing raised his bleeding hand high. His expression was serious and stern like never before. He said word by word, âMy name is He Xing. I swear by the interstellar convention that Iâm willing to become Du Yueâs partner. Iâll forever be loyal, and Iâll never betray her. If I break my oath, Iâll be executed by the universe.â
As soon as He Xing finished speaking, Du Yue saw a silver light flash in front of her eyes like a camera flash. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she saw a white panel appear in the air in front of her. The interface on the panel was a little similar to the old Tieba. The video at the top was of He Xing raising his injured hand to make an oath. Du Yue was also in the video. She was standing beside He Xing with a calm expression. Du Yue looked at the video for a while and nodded in appreciation. âThe resolution isnât bad.â
She did not know what it was, but the video was so high-definition that she could see the fine hair on her face. âAre you willing to believe me now? Can you agree to be with me now?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Du Yue raised her head to look at him. The manâs gaze was straightforward and sincere. Her heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to stir. She said slowly, âYouâve told me all your secrets. Donât you have anything to ask me?â
âWhen weâre together, Iâll have a lot of time to get closer to you and understand you. So, Du Yue, are you willing to be with me?â
âIâm willing to.â
He Xing probably did not expect Du Yue to agree so readily. After hearing her answer, he was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to react. âYou mean⦠youâre willing to be with me?â
Du Yue laughed. âArenât you silly? Yes, I said Iâm willing.â She wouldnât joke about their relationship. Since she had agreed, it meant that she had really considered it and was willing to be with him.
Just as He Xing had said earlier, they were perfect for each other in every way.
âWellâ¦â He Xing scratched his head with his uninjured hand. âIâve never been in a relationship before, so I donât know the process. Why donât I cook you some braised pork to celebrate our first day together?â
