Commitment

The next morning, Ping Chengcheng woke up from a nightmare.

Upon waking, she realized her pillow was soaked with tears and chuckled softly. What was there to fear? She had already been reborn, and the things of her past life wouldn’t happen again.

Song Ning was still fast asleep, her arms wrapped around the girl’s slender waist.

After calming down a bit, Ping Chengcheng rested her cheek on her hand, gazing at Song Ning’s sleeping face, a smile she couldn’t suppress playing on her lips. The air was slightly chilly, and the blanket had slipped off her smooth shoulders. The girl quietly snuggled closer into the young woman’s embrace, wrapping her arms around Song Ning’s neck.

Looking at those tempting pink lips, Ping Chengcheng’s heart pounded like a drum.

“Gurgle~”

She really wanted to kiss them…

“Mmm…” Song Ning hummed softly, rubbing her forehead as she opened her eyes. A little loli was looking at her.

Huh? Whose little cutie is this?

“Chengcheng, you’re awake?” Song Ning had slept well and stretched as she sat up in bed.

She glanced at her mechanical watch; it was 9:50 AM.

She had gone to bed late last night, so she had woken up late this morning.

The girl responded with a soft voice.

“Sister, you look so pretty when you’re sleeping.”

Song Ning was getting dressed, and upon hearing the girl’s compliment, she smiled slightly. “Why are you suddenly praising me, huh?”

Ping Chengcheng lowered her head, her small face flushed, and fidgeted with her fingers. “Sister, do you like girls?”

Song Ning paused in her dressing, the static electricity of the sweater she was pulling over herself crackling with a “pop~” sound.

“Ah?” Hearing Ping Chengcheng’s words, Song Ning was a bit bewildered. What was this little one trying to say? She had some guesses, but she wasn’t sure. Could it be that Chengcheng was a lesbian?

“Cough, cough, why are you asking that, little one?” Choking on her saliva, Song Ning continued to question.

The girl brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, the softness in her eyes and the shy tears making Song Ning’s heart flutter slightly.

Ping Chengcheng avoided Song Ning’s gaze, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. “Sister… I want to date you.”

Although she had already guessed it, hearing Ping Chengcheng say it herself was still quite a bombshell.

Looking at the girl’s shy demeanor, Song Ning felt a bit tempted. The sunlight was hazy, and their eyes met unintentionally. In the cold winter, their warm breaths formed a gentle mist.

Her heart was beating fast, but thinking about their current situation, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Song Ning suppressed the desire in her heart. With their future uncertain, she really didn’t want to be in a relationship.

“What do you know, you little one?”

“Besides, how old are you?”

Song Ning looked at the girl with a smile in her eyes.

Ping Chengcheng snorted softly, considering whether or not to say that she was already an adult. But—that would ruin her image!

She had been acting like a little girl in front of Song Ning all this time. If she ruined her image, would Song Ning be turned off?

But… Song Ning said she was young. If she said she was already an adult, would Song Ning agree to be with her?

Damn it, so, so conflicted… No! She should still say it. What if Song Ning agreed?

“Chengcheng?” Song Ning looked strangely at the girl, who had been standing still for a long time.

Ping Chengcheng looked up, meeting Song Ning’s questioning gaze, and shyly blinked her eyes. “Sister, actually, I’m already an adult…”

“Eh!—?” Song Ning was a bit surprised.

“But, no, wait, Chengcheng, are you lying to me?”

No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t seem like it! She looked so cute, with chubby cheeks. How could she be an adult? And before, Chengcheng was so timid…

No, no, it was also possible, after all, that was just her personality. However, Chengcheng was also very brave sometimes, like when she was killing zombies.

“Really, I just look younger…” Ping Chengcheng stared at Song Ning with watery eyes, her voice wronged.

“So, I’m an adult, can I date you?”

She looked expectantly at the young woman.

‘Sister, please say yes~ Sister said that she likes me~’

But she was destined to be disappointed.

Song Ning sighed, her voice low. “Chengcheng, are you serious?”

Feeling a bit uneasy, Ping Chengcheng clenched her fingers slightly, her knuckles turning white. “I, I’m serious, Sister.”

The young woman walked to the window, facing the hazy sunlight.

“Let’s talk about dating later.”

“I… Chengcheng…” Her heart was heavy.

“I’m afraid we don’t have a future, this damn apocalypse…”

The girl stood behind the young woman, tears welling up in her eyes. She reached out her hand, wanting to touch the young woman bathed in sunlight, but then she weakly lowered her arm.

A trace of sadness spread in her heart.

“Sister…” Was this, a failed confession…?

“Sister, if in the future, we have security, have… the means to not be afraid of the apocalypse.”

“Would Sister be willing to be with me?” Crystal tears glistened and fell, like a string of clear diamonds, the girl’s eyes shining as she looked at the young woman’s back.

“If that’s the case, if there really is such a day.” The young woman turned her head, smiling like a flower, the faint light from the window coating her with a silver frame.

“Then… we can try it.”

“Yeah!” The girl beamed.

“So, Sister, you like me, right?”

Although she didn’t confess successfully, getting her sister’s promise wasn’t bad.

Song Ning’s face turned slightly red upon hearing this.

“Yes, I like you quite a bit.” She bit her lower lip almost imperceptibly, looking at the cute little loli.

She was clearly an adult, but only 1.5 meters tall, really… too cute.

Those pitiful eyes, those delicate eyebrows, that pink little mouth…

They needed to settle down first, instead of talking about the so-called possibility of dying at any moment…

Thinking of this, a kind of faith suddenly arose in Song Ning’s heart. She wanted her and Ping Chengcheng to live a secure and happy life in the apocalypse.

This process would be long, it might be difficult, but she would never give up, and she would work hard for it.

“Chengcheng, let’s work hard together.” Song Ning turned around and hugged the girl who was half a head shorter than her.

“Today, we’ll go to the Public Security Bureau to get guns first, and then you can teach me some shooting techniques.”

Ping Chengcheng nodded obediently. “Okay, Sister.”

If she taught her how to shoot, the assisting posture would be best taught hand-in-hand~ ‘It must be like this, heh heh…’

‘Sister, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand…’

The two, one tall and one short, walked out of the bedroom. Wu Sheng was already sitting in the living room, waiting idly, playing with a withered rose.

“Hmm? You woke up so early too? Why didn’t you call us?” Song Ning frowned. Although she had slept comfortably today, she had woken up too late.

Wu Sheng was startled. “Ah, I just woke up, I haven’t had time to call you yet.”

He was joking, let him wake up Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning?

He didn’t dare!

He didn’t sleep well last night, and he had been thinking about the relationship between Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning, and what he should do in the future.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there must be a special relationship between Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning. At the very least, Ping Chengcheng had other feelings for her.

So, wouldn’t it be like courting death to disturb Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning sleeping together in each other’s arms?

Therefore, even though Wu Sheng had woken up an hour early due to poor sleep, he still didn’t wake them up.
