Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Looking out, Mu Tongrui was overwhelmed by the boundless sea and inky darkness. There was no boat in sight.

Mu Tongrui's knees weakened as she imagined the unthinkable. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she hopelessly dropped onto the sandy ground.

She wailed, “Fu Lingye, where the hell are you? How do I find you now, you jerk? Who asked you to come for me? Who asked you to care? How should Sweetheart and I go on without you...”

Mu Tongrui curled up into a ball. She hugged her knees and rested her face between them.

All she could hear were the waves and her loud crying. There were footsteps around her, but they went undetected.

“Fu Lingye! Asshole! You said to live long and make the world suffer... So, who gave you permission to die? You fool!” Mu Tongrui ranted.

Suddenly, a familiar voice cut her off.

“Wow. So much anger for a dead man.”

Mu Tongrui's body froze. As soon as she lifted her head, her eyes widened.

“Is this... really you?” Or this is my imagination? What if...

Mu Tungrui felt chills down her spine. She flurried backward nervously, “Who... What are you?”

In the moonlight, Mu Tungrui could see how drenched Fu Lingye was. Despite his rugged state, Fu Lingye's distinct features and aura were still charming. However, that charming face suddenly turned ferocious. He threatened, “I'm a ghost now. I'm taking you to hell with me!”

Mu Tongrui's tears had blurred her vision, but she eventually recognized Fu Lingye. Excited, she shot up and jumped onto him. Mu Tongrui clung to Fu Lingye by wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist.

“It's really you! You didn't die! Fu Lingye...”

Fu Lingye covered her mouth with his. Coldness met warmth, allowing her body to warm up his.

Though fierce, this kiss was also sweet and passionate. Mu Tongrui embraced him tightly to kiss back.

Through this experience of life and death, they bonded even more. Her longing for him turned into a million tender caresses inside, making her heart glow.
