Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

As for the medium-sized yard, she wanted to buy some seeds and plant fresh vegetables there; the small pond on the left side of the house, she planned to go to the countryside to find someone selling fish fry, buy some to raise, and get some poultry. The space, once cleaned up, should be able to hold supplies for a few years.

Then there were clothes and medicines, also very important items. It was necessary to prepare early for moisture-resistant and warm materials. Clothes were easy to obtain from stores and online shopping, but for medicines, buying too many might attract attention from some regulatory agencies.

She put several question marks on the medicine item, leaving it for further research later to see if there were any good solutions.

That same evening, after dinner, once Xiao'ai had gone to bed, Su Shu began to write her new novel "Apocalypse Survival Diary." As soon as she published the first chapter, the readers' group exploded.

wuli Su, why aren't you writing cute, sweet Mary Sue stories anymore?

Author, please show your face!

Old man here, I've calculated that there's something going on with Su!

Rolling my face on the keyboard, baby doesn't listen, baby doesn't listen, baby wants candy!

Huh?

Hey you above, what's with the huh?

@The one above, Su's new book, "Apocalypse Diary," mentioned Rao Mountain, um... Could it be that Su is from C City?

...

The chat in the group was lively, focusing not so much on Su Shu's new novel "Apocalypse Survival Diary" as on whether or not Su Shu was actually from C City. As the discussion continued, three or four readers from C City emerged, doing a technical analysis summary on whether the Rao Mountain mentioned in the beginning of her novel was indeed their hometown's Rao Mountain.

After comparing the city status described in the beginning and the specific location and simple descriptions of Rao Mountain, they felt the accuracy was about eighty percent.

After updating her novel, Su Shu went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she returned, wiping her hair and checking the 99+ messages, she was stunned.

Her "beloved" little angels were like gods!

Just from her short 5000-word description, someone had managed to pinpoint that the location described was likely near the Rao Mountain area in East City.

Su Shu: ...

Only the word "admiration" could express her feelings.

The phone lay on the bed, suddenly ringing.

Su Shu turned around, reached for the phone, and saw an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a second before swiping to answer.

"Hello, may I ask who's speaking?"

There was no sound from the other end. Su Shu asked again, thinking to hang up if there was no response.

Just as she was about to disconnect, she finally heard the other party's voice.

"Su Shu."

Su Shu frowned, recognizing the voice on the phone. She knew who it was.

"Yeah, what's up?"

Shen Han stood in the hotel suite on the twenty-seventh floor, looking over the city's nightscape, including the dark river in the distance, his dark eyes mysterious in the night.

The voice on the phone, so familiar, yet Shen Han did not know what was wrong with Su Shu. Before his return, even though they were separated by oceans, whenever the girl spoke to him, her voice was nervous and excited, and that was just half a month ago.

But why, since his return to the country, had her attitude done a 180° turn? Su Shu had changed so quickly that he wondered if the woman he saw that day was really the one who had spent countless difficult nights with him during a tough autumn semester.

And that girl in her arms...

After returning that day, Shen Han had a sleepless night, the image of Su Shu carefully holding the child haunting him.

So careful, as if treasuring a gem, wasn't that sense of being cherished supposed to belong to him?

Five years ago, he had crossed the ocean, and they had reluctantly broken up. But after the breakup, neither sought others, and neither mentioned the past. She had silently accompanied him through countless difficult nights, he had become accustomed to her gentle companionship, and even more used to being dominant in her world.

But, in less than a month, while he was busy with work transitions and returning to the country, they hadn't spoken once. Could she just turn her back on him without a word?

The voice on the phone sounded very strange, especially grating to Shen Han.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Su Shu, I want to see you."

Su Shu clutched the phone, a rush of emotions flooding her.

Suddenly, she remembered a previous life, when she stood shocked at Shen Han's lavish wedding venue, and what he had said then.

Shen Han had said, "Su Shu, thank you for coming to my wedding."

At that time, Su Shu's heart felt cold. The man who always said "Su Shu, I want to see you" had become someone else's groom upon his return.

Time had passed, and after her rebirth.

She could still hear him say, "Su Shu, I want to see you."

Su Shu laughed, replying coolly, "I'm not free."
