Chapter 140 The Little Flower Tames the Loyal Zombie King (The End)
Humanity's determination to rebuild its home should not be underestimated.
In just over a month, more than a dozen bases of varying sizes have been connected around the Northern Base, the roads have been repaired, and a brand-new city has sprung up from the ruins.
Everything is progressing steadily towards what we hope for.
But no one ever mentioned that name again.
It's not that I've forgotten, it's just that I'm afraid to.
Although Chu Yu remained emotionally stable throughout the past month and was busy rebuilding her home every day like everyone else at the base, she never mentioned Qi Heng's name.
But Chu Hua knew this younger sister too well.
Some things cannot be said, cannot be thought about, and cannot be forgotten.
Countless times I've sat alone late at night, gazing at the solitary moon, speechless for a long time.
"Xiaoyu".
"Ok?"
Chu Hua walked over and led her to sit down to the side. "Are you tired?"
Chu Yu gently shook her head. "Not tired, very fulfilling."
After a few seconds of pause, she added softly, "It's already the best thing that there's hope for the future..."
It's better than waiting in vain.
Chu Hua turned to look at her.
I don't know when it started, but the little girl in my memory who loved small floral prints and dolls no longer wore those pink and tender clothes in her closet. Instead, she wore a black windbreaker and pants that looked just like someone else.
It wasn't just her clothing style; even her behavior and attitude towards others bore that person's shadow.
She didn't know if this was a good thing or not.
Chu Yu seems to be genuinely trying to let go of the past and live a good life.
But she knew very well that the more nonchalant she appeared on the surface, the harder it was for the pain in her heart to heal.
How can someone who is desperately trying to forget something truly forget it?
-
The days passed by.
New buildings are rising from the ground, and brand-new cities are being built through everyone's joint efforts.
Chu Yu and Chu Hua led the people to rebuild their homes and establish a new order.
After everything settled down, Chu Hua resigned from all her positions and chose to pursue her original dream—to return to school and continue her academic research.
Qin Feng chose to stay in the newly established government department and take up an important position.
Chu Hua and Qin Feng chose a gentle, pleasant spring day for their wedding.
A simple yet heartwarming wedding is taking place on the green lawn of a park on the outskirts of the city.
Sunlight filters through the new green leaves, casting dappled shadows on the lawn.
Standing beside Chu Hua as a bridesmaid, Chu Yu's gaze held both blessings and envy.
She watched her sister and Qin Feng holding hands, their faces beaming with happiness, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
The wedding was not extravagant, but it was filled with warmth and sincerity.
The guests were all old friends and comrades-in-arms from the base, who had witnessed Chu Hua and Qin Feng's love story through difficult times.
Everyone wore a smile, offering their sincerest blessings to the newlyweds.
Before the ceremony officially began, Chu Yu helped Chu Hua adjust her wedding dress and whispered, "Sister, you look so beautiful today."
Chu Hua turned around and gently hugged her: "Xiao Yu, thank you. I know you've been working hard, but you also need to take good care of yourself."
Chu Yu nodded. She knew her sister was worried, but she already had her own plans.
After her sister's wedding, she decided to embark on a new journey to search for the lost past and perhaps find new hope.
It can also be seen as Qi Heng's way of showing him the new world he bought with his own life.
"Huahua!"
Qin Feng suddenly rushed over, his face showing an unusually panicked expression.
The two sisters turned around together and asked, "What's wrong?"
The words that were about to come out were choked back the moment he saw Chu Yu.
Chu Hua rarely saw him like this, and frowned as she asked, "What happened?"
Qin Feng glanced at Chu Yu meaningfully, cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "The leader who was originally supposed to be the officiant suddenly had something to do, so a new leader from above has taken his place to officiate the wedding."
"Oh, is there a problem? Do you need me to go with you to greet them?"
"No need, we need to go and double-check all the procedures before starting the ceremony. Xiaoyu, could you go to the reception room over there and greet the new officiant for us?"
"Sure, I'll head over now."
Chu Yu stood up, straightened her skirt, and walked quickly toward the reception room, unaware of Qin Feng's meaningful gaze behind her.
"Knock Knock-"
"Hello, is anyone there? I'm Chu Yu, a bridesmaid at the wedding."
No one answered from inside the house.
strange?
Didn't they say the person was already in the reception room?
She simply reached out and pushed the door open.
A tall, well-dressed man stood with his back to her by the window.
Bang—bang! Bang!
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat in an instant.
"Qi Heng!?"
The moment we met again, my heart recognized you before I could even react.
The man slowly turned around.
Backlit, she couldn't see his face clearly.
But she was certain that the person in front of her was her Qi Heng.
Chu Yu held her breath, staring intently at the man who was walking towards her step by step, afraid that it was all just an illusion.
The man stopped half a meter in front of her.
The tall figure blocked out all the light behind him.
She finally saw the face that had appeared in her dreams countless times.
"Qi Heng—" she murmured softly.
The man's features remained unchanged, and he curved his lips into a smile, his voice low, magnetic, and gentle: "Hello, Miss Chu Yu, I am Qi Heng, the officiant at today's wedding."
Chu Yu lowered her eyes to look at the man's outstretched right hand, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly raised her own hand to grasp it.
"Hello……"
The moment their hands clasped, tears streamed down their faces like a burst dam.
Qi Heng couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly pulled her into his arms, gently coaxing, "Don't cry, sweetie. The ceremony is about to begin. How can you be the most beautiful bridesmaid if you cry like a little kitten?"
Nestled in his familiar embrace, Chu Yu finally felt a sense of security; he had truly returned.
She had so much to say to him, but now that he was standing right in front of her, all she could manage was a choked voice asking:
"You... I thought you were so heartless that you would never come back..."
Qi Heng gently patted her back. "How could that be? You're still here, where could I go?"
- You're right here.
So I'll only stay here.
-The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will always overcome all obstacles to reach you.
-END-
——oo——
I haven't forgotten anything, but some things are only meant to be cherished.
I can't speak of it, I can't think about it, yet I can't forget it.
This sentence was written by Mr. Shi Tiesheng in "Me and the Temple of Heaven".
That concludes Chu Chu and Qi Heng's story~
See you in the next story!
