The End of the World: Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you

Chapter 14 It’s done, it’s finally done!
dinner.

Aunt Qing made stir-fried celery with meat and spinach mixed with vermicelli.

It’s a very ordinary meal, but it seems very luxurious in this doomsday world.

But there is no way around it. Vegetables, even if put in the refrigerator, will eventually have a limited shelf life.

Besides, we don’t know when the power will be cut off.

"Eat it quickly. I don't know if it's delicious."

Aunt Qing had become much more normal by now.

But he tried his best to avoid Shen Yan's gaze.

"Well, everything Auntie cooks tastes delicious."

While Shen Yan was looking for an opportunity to confess his feelings again, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of spinach.

Oh my god, it’s so salty!
Shen Yan almost couldn't help but vomit.

However, his heart was becoming more and more agitated. His performance was so abnormal that it was obvious that Aunt Qing was very confused.

Seeing him like this, Xia Wanqing also took a bite of spinach, then frowned: "It seems that the salt was added twice, you can eat celery, and I will eat spinach."

"No need, Auntie, let's eat together."

Shen Yan's mind is no longer on the food.

While eating quickly, he organized his words in his mind again.

Xia Wanqing didn't say anything else. She lowered her head and ate in small bites. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Then, maybe because the spinach was too salty, she seemed to want to get up and reach for the water cup.

Seeing this, Shen Yan hurriedly handed it over.

Then, without paying attention, my fingertips gently touched Aunt Qing's warm little hand.

Shen Yan's heart was moved, and the words buried in his heart came out again: "Aunt Qing, I really like you, be my girlfriend."

Xia Wanqing was stunned again, her hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to take the cup of water or not.

Shen Yan had already confessed once, and this time his tone was much more coherent: "Aunt Qing, although there is a gap in age between us, from childhood to adulthood, I have never seen a woman as beautiful and virtuous as you. I don't know if you still have any concerns, but, but if possible, can you give me a chance?"

Swish!
This time he could clearly feel that Aunt Qing's face instantly turned red, but she hesitated to the end and still withdrew her hand: "Xiaoyan, you, you said this too suddenly, Auntie really is not mentally prepared at all."

Wow, there really is hope!

Shen Yan couldn't help but feel happy: "I know it's very sudden, but it's the end of the world and I could die at any time. I'm really afraid that one day I'll get out and never come back, and I won't be able to see you again."

This sentence seems to be very effective.

Xia Wanqing hesitated, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But in the end she didn't continue the topic, she stood up and said, "Auntie is full, I'll go back to the bedroom first."

After saying that, he stood up and left the table.

Looking at Aunt Qing's back, Shen Yan felt a little regretful.

But this time he was not too disappointed. There is hope, there really is hope!
Although Aunt Qing didn't agree, she didn't explicitly refuse either.

Most likely, she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart and needs some time to accept it!

"Should we give Aunt Qing a few more days?"

"No, confessing your feelings may be the key to unlocking the system, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

Shen Yan decided to strike while the iron was still there.

However, he was not in a hurry to act. He felt that the biggest reason for the failure of his first two confessions was that he was a little abrupt.

After all, Aunt Qing, as a great writer, is a socially anxious stay-at-home girl with a thin skin.

So he needed to be more tactful this time, and he couldn't let Aunt Qing leave with any excuses. In short, he had to try to kill her with one blow. Oh no, take her down with one strike.

“What strategy should be adopted?”

Shen Yan pondered silently.

Then, he actually thought of a solution that was very suitable for the current situation.

After eating all the food without wasting it, Shen Yan took a deep breath and came to Aunt Qing's bedroom: "Aunt Qing, are you asleep?"

Xia Wanqing didn't say anything, but Shen Yan heard the creaking sound of the bed when she turned over.

"Aunt Qing, I know you haven't slept yet. I have nothing else to do and I'm a little bored at night. How about we watch a movie together?"

Still no words.

Shen Yan thought for a moment and continued, "Aunt, I want to use your computer, but I forgot the password."

Aunt Qing’s house is a two-bedroom apartment of more than 60 square meters.

She turned the side bedroom into a study, and the computer was inside.

boom!
This time the door finally opened.

Xia Wanqing walked to the side bed with an expressionless face, ignoring Shen Yan the whole time, and opened her Apple notebook.

However, although her attitude seemed a bit bad, after the computer was turned on, she did not return to her bedroom, but just sat aside quietly. Shen Yan was delighted.

Alright, the first step of watching a movie with Aunt Qing is done, but what movie should be shown next?
It can't be too vulgar, it can't be too scary, and it's better to be ambiguous.
Got it!

Shen Yan did not ask Aunt Qing for her opinion. He opened the webpage and directly typed in the name of the movie - "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

Fortunately, the internet is still connected, otherwise all my efforts would have been wasted.

After Shen Yan finished doing all this, he moved a small stool, turned off the lights, and sat down next to Aunt Qing with eager eyes.

It's normal to watch a movie with the lights off.

And then the film started.

Xia Wanqing frowned but said nothing more. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes stared quietly at the picture on the screen.

This movie is roughly about the story of a woman named Malena, who comes to Sicily with wavy black hair, wearing a fashionable miniskirt and stockings, and walking with elegant steps.

This is the hometown of the boy Renato. Like all young boys, he is naive and restless. When he first met Malena, he was attracted by her every move.

Elegant and intellectual, her every move is so eye-catching, and her every frown and smile breaks the hearts of countless men.

Young Renato fell into her vortex uncontrollably.

From then on, he rode his bicycle, traveling through every corner of the island town, pursuing the seductive and plump figure of Malena and peeping into her life.

Everything about her, her pretty figure, her clothes, her hobbies, all became the boy's most beautiful fantasy.

And this movie is the most realistic portrayal of Shen Yan and Xia Wanqing.

Gradually, under the dim light of the computer, Xia Wanqing's face became a little blurry.

A hint of ambiguous atmosphere began to flow in the room.

Shen Yan's palms were sweating from nervousness.

This is probably the best opportunity now. Do you want to hold Aunt Qing's hand?
Would Aunt Qing think that he was being too frivolous and too aggressive?
But wouldn’t it be a pity to miss this opportunity?

After struggling for a long time, Shen Yan's eyes gradually became firm. He could no longer be indecisive and had to give it a try.

At this time, the movie happened to be playing a very crucial plot.

Shen Yan took a deep breath, reached out, and held Aunt Qing's white and tender little hand.

But the next second, Xia Wanqing pulled her hand out with a "whoosh".

"Aunt Qing hid."

Shen Yan was very depressed.

But Aunt Qing didn't scold him, nor did she go back to her bedroom. She didn't seem to be too resistant?
After calming down, Shen Yan, who was really unwilling to give up, reached out and held Aunt Qing's hand again.

Aunt Qing pulled again, but this time he held on very tightly, determined not to let go.

Xia Wanqing finally couldn't help it, she turned her head and glared at Shen Yan.

"You just know how to bully your aunt."

But although she said this, she did not struggle anymore. She let Shen Yan hold her hand, turned around angrily and no longer looked at him.

Shen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he let go completely and simply tried to pinch Aunt Qing's little hand again.

no response.
After rubbing him again, suddenly, Aunt Qing's soft little hand moved, and she couldn't help but pinched him hard.

It was a little painful, but Shen Yan didn't care. He spread his five fingers and inserted them into the gaps between Aunt Qing's fingers.

This way of holding hands is extremely intimate.

Xia Wanqing's body stiffened, but after a moment, she slowly closed her fingers and held Shen Yan's hands again.

Oh my God!
Shen Yan was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.

It’s done, I finally succeeded by holding hands with Aunt Qing!

I just don't know, since Aunt Qing didn't refuse the handshake, does that mean his confession was successful?

"Aunt Qing, will you be my girlfriend?"

Aunt Qing said nothing.

Shen Yan felt uneasy and wanted to ask another question.

But at this moment, a line of subtitles suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully confessing his love. The pre-tasks for the main storyline have been completed, and the first phase of the system has been enabled.]

Although Aunt Qing didn't agree, the task has been completed, so does that mean she has already accepted the current relationship?
The confession was successful and the system was activated.

At this moment, Shen Yan almost fainted from happiness.
