[FINAL CHAPTER PITIFUL] Meteor Showers (Chapter 36)
🕑 Added 2025-09-16 12:39:01 +0000 UTC“I think... this feels a bit off.”
“It's fine. Today is our day together, no one's allowed to interfere.”
Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Sheng sat in the passenger seat of the convertible, glancing sideways at the scenery blurring past. A hint of guilt crept onto her face, she couldn't help but feel bad for little Ye Duoduo!
That's right, two rookie mothers had temporarily entrusted their child to the base's official care, then happily went out to play.
Why so sudden?
Because ever since the baby came, Ye Sheng had been doting on the child like a precious treasure, constantly holding, soothing, and playing with it. As a result, Gu Luoyu, who had been increasingly neglected, could no longer stay silent.
At first, it might not have been such a big deal, but being placed second to the baby had already lasted three whole months...
During this time, Gu Luoyu's disciples, espers she trained, had shown their full strength, wiping out the high-level polluted creatures surrounding the base. Now, they'd even expanded their hunting range further out.
They were determined to eliminate every potential threat.
As for Gu Luoyu herself, after her “disciples” graduated, she made a show of heading deep into the wasteland once. Since then, she occasionally brought back body parts of S+ rank polluted, creatures earning increasingly amicable treatment from the base officials.
So even after fulfilling her agreement with the base to enhance psychic abilities, the base didn't assign her any further missions. Instead, they allowed her to stay within the base freely, only asking her to occasionally venture into the wasteland's depths.
After all, while psychic users can now handle S-rank threats, stronger ones remain beyond their reach... too risky, with high chances of casualties. For a base currently desperate for combat strength, that wasn't ideal.
Thus, specialized tasks required specialized personnel. Granting privileges for such purposes was only natural.
And so, Gu Luoyu could now openly remain at the base with Ye Sheng, only to be ignored by her baby-obsessed partner. How could she not be angry?
Unwilling to endure it, Gu Luoyu simply handed the baby over to the base for care. After all, they were all tied to the same rope now, the base wouldn't dare harm the child. Of course, Gu Luoyu didn't leave it entirely to chance. She placed psychic barriers as safeguards against any mishaps.
Once all journey precautions were in place, Gu Luoyu promptly pulled Ye Sheng out of the base, beginning their sweet two-person world.
Thanks to Gu Luoyu's psychic dominance, polluted creatures along the way scattered like they'd encountered a ferocious beast, making travel incredibly smooth. This allows Ye Sheng to fully relax and enjoy the unique beauty of the wasteland.
With most troubles resolved, it was time to unwind and enjoy life!
Ever since arriving in this wasteland world, they'd been busy just surviving. Even after growing stronger, they were constantly occupied with missions, never having time or peace of mind to appreciate their surroundings.
Now, at last, she can fulfill that wish. Ye Sheng gazed at the never-ending tornado winds in the distance, its powerful lifting everything from the ground, even some polluted creatures were flung into the sky, drawing awed exclamations of “Whoa!”
“If you want to get closer for a better look, we can.”
“???”
Hearing this, Ye Sheng turned her head with a dazed expression, immediately meeting Gu Luoyu's crimson eyes, serious and intense, as if she'd really flown them straight into the tornado's eyes the moment Ye Sheng agreed.
But...
Thanks, but no thanks. Ye Sheng felt her heart was far too fragile for such a thrilling activity!!!
Seeing Ye Sheng's face scrunch up in obvious refusal, Gu Luoyu couldn't help but chuckled softly. Dropping the topic, she brought up tonight's plan instead: “There's a meteor shower tonight. Want to watch?”
“Yes! Definitely!”
Honestly, Ye Sheng had never seen a wasteland version meteor shower before. She nodded vigorously, then, ignoring basic traffic safety, reached over and wrapped her arms around Gu Luoyu's neck, planting messy kisses all over her.
With psychic powers handling the driving, there was no risk of crashing anyway.
Honestly, while little Ye Duoduo was incredibly adorable and Ye Sheng absolutely adored her as a mother, well... ahem, Gu Luoyu wasn't bad either. After going so long without, she was especially missed.
So when she heard about the meteor shower, Ye Sheng didn't think of romance at all. Instead, her mind immediately veered onto a steamy path, wondering if they could try some outdoor fun~
With Gu Luoyu using psychic senses as a lookout, safety and privacy were guaranteed. They could enjoy themselves!!!
Of course, this impromptu plan had to be kept secret. Ye Sheng plans to pounce like a hungry tiger tonight~
Hehehe...
“Ah Yu, right now, everything feels like a dream, kind of unreal!”
After a brief mental detour into X-rated territory, Ye Sheng played the heartless flirt, kissing and running, quietly leaving Gu Luoyu unsatisfied. That way, things will be even more exciting later.
She propped her chin on one hand, watching the sky gradually darken. Her wistful words drew Gu Luoyu's gaze. “With me by your side, everything is real.”
With that, Gu Luoyu lifted Ye Sheng's hand, leaned down, and kissed it gently. Her beautiful face softened with tenderness, while the breeze lifted strands of her pink hair, letting them flutter in the wind.
If anything feels unreal, it was Gu Luoyu who thought life had become too perfect, from fighting alone, to fighting side by side, and now a family of three. It was like a beautiful dream.
Ever since being gravely injured and picked up by Ye Sheng, her life's path has changed. It was as if a pure angel had descended to heal her pain, making her life sweet.
But Gu Luoyu was certain, this wasn't a dream. It wouldn't vanish when she woke.
Ye Sheng will remain by her side, and together they'd weather all future storms.
"Hehe, looks like Ms. Gu really likes me, huh? So clingy?"
Delighted by Gu Luoyu's affection, Ye Sheng didn't pull her hand away. Instead, she flipped her palm and gently tickled Gu Luoyu's chin with her index finger, teasing her like a kitten.
This playful act made Gu Luoyu's eyes narrow slightly, not in rejection, but as she leaned in and kissed Ye Sheng instead.
Her voice is sweet and soft: “Of course I like you. I can never leave you, even in the next life, we'll be together. Nothing will ever separate us.”
Their foreheads touched gently, lingering after the kiss. Their eyes locked, intertwined in quiet intimacy.
The surroundings grew still as night fell. Their breathing became clearly audible, their heartbeats loud and synchronized, impossible to tell whose heart was racing more, or if both were pounding just the same.
Suddenly, meteors streaked rapidly across the night sky, appearing dreamlike and hazy under the glow of the red moon.
Finally, Ye Sheng couldn't hold back. Her dark eyes sparkled as she stared at Gu Luoyu, her lips involuntarily curling into a wide smile. She leaned in first, delivering another sweet kiss, suddenly feeling as if she'd been born just for Gu Luoyu.
“For the days ahead, I look forward to your continued companionship~”

Yep it is finished. There will be not a single chapter after this.
