Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

It was exactly 5 p.m.

When they were about to leave, Xiangyang's parents hadn't finished get off work yet; they were told they would be working late into the night, so only the four of them saw them off.

Huo Ling told them not to send it, but they kept looking on expectantly, saying they wanted to send it anyway.

Lin Shuangshuang noticed Xiang Kui looking at her, so she raised her hand and said, "Bye-bye."

Little Kui gave an embarrassed smile and turned to bury her face in her grandmother's arms.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

When we got on the subway, they were still standing far away, waving in our direction.

Lorna remarked, "Life is really tough for ordinary people."

Wu Zhe nodded repeatedly, "That's right. After seeing it with my own eyes, I suddenly felt so lucky. I will definitely cherish every day from now on."

Gao Lei and Luo Na were surprised. "Wow, you've grown up!!" "You've become more sensible."

Wu Zhe brushed away their hands that were fiddling with his hair. "Ugh, you two are so annoying."

Luo Na and Gao Lei burst into laughter.

After successfully boarding the subway, they headed straight to the base entrance, transferred their belongings to their own car, and put anything that couldn't fit into their own space cards. Finally, they returned the base's temporary space card.

"They've actually put a recycling station here now, you just plug it in, it's kind of like those old-fashioned street-side power banks!"

"Ah, I've heard of that too. You know about something so ancient, Nana-jie?!"

"What's so ancient about it? It's not that many years old."

Everyone got on the vehicle immediately and prepared to leave the underground city base.

The staff asked if we were leaving so late, saying the temperature would drop further tonight.

The temperature difference in the weather will be significant recently.

Gao Lei politely thanked him, "Thank you, but we are sure we need to leave."

The staff member then stopped insisting and smiled at them, saying, "Have a safe journey."

The three of them, including Lorna, thanked her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the entrance to this base is quite thoughtful."

"really."

"Never mind anything else, we're going home! I can't wait to get back!"

"I also want to take a bath."

"I want to eat noodles made by Xiao Yi and Xiao Er. They say you eat dumplings before you get on the train and noodles after you get off. I want to eat noodles."

Lin Shuangshuang sat in the back row and felt at ease hearing Luo Na and the other two chatting in the front. She took Huo Ling's right hand and held it in her own.

Huo Ling could only operate the screen with one hand. He was contacting Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng, as he was preparing to return and wanted to let them know.

Turning around, he noticed a little monster secretly holding his hand. He said, "You clingy brat."

After saying that, he raised the partition.

Huo Ling has a high demand for personal space, and he actually prefers to be alone.

I don't like things that are too noisy.

Lin Shuangshuang was still feeling uneasy about what Huo Ling wanted to talk to her about, but upon hearing this, she became even more annoyed and said in a slightly angry tone, "Just hold hands!"

Fierce-looking.

When others use this tone, they should say, "Then I won't hold your hand anymore," but she just angrily says, "I will!"

Huo Ling almost laughed at her, but he held back and didn't say anything. He knew what she was worried about, but he was just being mean and didn't want to comfort her.

He'd been living in fear for six long years; it was time for her to experience the feeling of unease too.

I was just thinking that.

But seeing her slightly furrowed brows, he softened, pulled his hand away from hers, and said to her, "Come here," gesturing for her to sit on his lap.

Lin Shuangshuang immediately sat on his lap, snuggled into his arms, and was then wrapped in a blanket by him, which made her feel especially safe.

She sat leaning against him, feeling much better. "Can you not get angry when you're settling accounts?"

Huo Ling snorted, then added, "I don't guarantee that."

What if we get angrier the more we talk?

Hard to say.

Lin Shuangshuang started sighing and looked down at him, buttoning up his combat uniform. "I'm not very good at comforting people. I always have to think for a long time before I can comfort you."

While replying to the message, Huo Ling said, "That's great." After saying that, she realized that she had spoken her mind out loud. She was really distracted and made a mistake, so she quickly shut up.

Lin Shuangshuang looked up. "What?" Had she misheard? How could her gentle, considerate, cute, and seemingly weak boyfriend say such a thing?

Huo Ling calmly replied, "It's nothing. Shouldn't you be comforting me?"

Lin Shuangshuang said dejectedly, "Of course, but I'm almost out of ideas."

She was very sincere.

Humbly seek advice.

Huo Ling, however, did not give her an open-book exam. Instead, he replied, "Then think about it slowly and carefully."

Ideally, you should think about him all the time.

Lin Shuangshuang slammed her head on his shoulder, feeling utterly hopeless. She checked the time and silently slipped herself a pill.

Seeing how skillfully she took her medicine, Huo Ling felt a pang of unease. He reached out and turned off the screen, wrapped the blanket around Lin Shuangshuang tighter, and held her close. "How much medicine do you have left?"

Lin Shuangshuang said, "There's still quite a lot left. This time we can eat it for a long time. The pollution levels are well controlled."

Huo Ling hummed in agreement, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and then kissed her lips.

Lin Shuangshuang gently bit his lip, then pursed her lips. She liked him very much and said vaguely, "I like you the most, the most, the most in the whole world."

Huo Ling asked her, "Just liking it?"

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't help but smile. She leaned in and gave him a big kiss on the lips, saying, "I love you the most, most, most, most in the whole world."

Privately, she really likes to be affectionate and clingy with him.

But it won't work outside.

She's cool in public and shy about kissing, and doesn't like to show affection in public.

The little monster is a conservative little monster.

Huo Ling's heart fluttered at her few words, and he couldn't help but smile, "Mmm."

Lin Shuangshuang also loved hearing sweet words; all love-starved little monsters are like that. She said happily and skillfully, "Alright, now it's your turn."

Huo Ling deliberately asked, "My turn for what?"

Lin Shuangshuang frowned. "Now it's your turn to tell me you love me."

The little monster isn't ashamed.

Huo Ling said, "Really?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded and said very seriously, "Yes, hurry up."

She was a little anxious.

wrong.

She desperately wanted to hear him say that he loved her very much and that he loved her the most.

Huo Ling glanced at her. "Do you really want to hear it?" He teased her slowly.

Lin Shuangshuang frowned even more, looking a little angry. "I want to hear it! Hurry up..."

Huo Ling stared into her eyes. "I love you very much, and I think you should know that very well. If you want to hear it, I can certainly repeat it countless times."

Lin Shuangshuang was satisfied. She saw herself in his eyes. She nodded and said, "I love you the most." Then she hugged his neck tightly and pressed herself against him.

Huo Ling raised his hand to touch her head, and unsurprisingly, her hair caught in it. Breaking free from the hair tie was easy for her. "Mmm, I love you. I was just teasing you on purpose."

Lin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "Why do you have to do this?! I'm in a hurry."

She was still a little angry.

Huo Ling hummed in agreement and frankly said, "I just want to see you anxious."

The little monster's head isn't big enough.

She often couldn't fully understand these subtle, complex emotions of human beings.
