“Whoa! Who is it? Who is it?” Liu Manman asked enthusiastically.
Everyone was surprised by Jun Zishu’s answer. However, they quickly reacted to it, and odd expressions started appearing on their faces one after another.
After all, hadn’t Jun Zishu mentioned that she no longer liked Jiang Mubai? Meanwhile, she had still been making advances on Jiang Mubai up until the apocalypse. This meant that she had only stopped liking Jiang Mubai after the apocalypse began. Setting aside how she managed to fall for someone else already, how did she even manage to find a new boyfriend candidate during the apocalypse?
Jiang Mubai was similarly stunned when he heard Jun Zishu’s decisive answer. He had thought that Jun Zishu would say no initially. After all, had she answered as such, it would sever the connection between them, and they could both leave their past behind.
Ren Nanying didn’t know why she was feeling so nervous right now. However, she was also eager to hear Jun Zishu answer Liu Manman’s question. She wanted to know who Jun Zishu liked. After all, hadn’t Jun Zishu said that she no longer liked Jiang Mubai? Or had Jun Zishu been lying to her previously?
However, Ren Nanying quickly denied her thoughts. Based on her observation of Jun Zishu’s reactions these past two days, she could tell that Jun Zishu no longer liked Jiang Mubai.
Meanwhile, Jun Zishu couldn’t help but find it funny when she saw how everyone was staring at her. Particularly, when she noticed a certain someone was pretending to be calm despite being incredibly nervous, she couldn’t help but have the urge to tease this person a little more.
“The person I like is in here,” Jun Zishu said with a mysterious smile.
“Wah, it can’t be, right? Didn’t you say…”
Before Liu Manman could finish her words, Lin Su, who sat beside her, patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to be quiet.
Ren Nanying’s expression turned exceptionally ugly when she heard Jun Zishu’s words. Since Jun Zishu had spoken as such, who else could the person she liked be if not Jiang Mubai?
Jiang Mubai was honestly a little stunned as well. He truly didn’t think that Jun Zishu still liked him. Although he felt that Jun Zishu wasn’t actually talking about him, who else could it be but him in the current situation?
Chen Beimo sent Jiang Mubai a glance, inwardly admiring his friend’s charm.
Meanwhile, when Jun Zishu saw the different expressions on everyone’s faces, the corners of her mouth raised in amusement.
“What are you all thinking? Whoever you think it is, it definitely isn’t him,” Jun Zishu said as she pointed at Jiang Mubai, instantly denying the conclusion everyone had come to.
“Who else could it be other than him?” Liu Manman blurted out her thoughts.
Meanwhile, Ren Nanying felt as if the cold winter had passed, and the warm spring had suddenly arrived for her.
If it wasn’t Jiang Mubai, then…who could it be?
“Don’t tell me you’ve been coveting my flesh all these years, Goddess?” Liu Manman said as she dramatically covered her chest. In turn, her actions earned her a smack to the head from Lin Su.
“Impossible.”
Jun Zishu shook her head. She wasn’t interested in the shut-in’s flesh even at the slightest.
“Could it be that you’ve fallen for me in these two short days? I have to say that I’m a little flattered,” Chen Beimo said as he pointed at himself shyly.
“To hell with you. Where’s my knife?” Liu Manman said jokingly as she rolled her eyes at Chen Beimo.
“If you’re so eager to interact with the little cuties outside, please jump out of that window,” Jun Zishu said, smiling as she pointed at the kitchen window.
“Okay, okay. I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”
“Who could it be, then?”
“That will be for the next question.”
“I seriously think you’re bluffing us.”
Jun Zishu smiled noncommittally, her behavior causing Ren Nanying’s heart to beat even faster.
While Ren Nanying wasn’t trying to be narcissistic, she really felt that she was the person Jun Zishu was talking about. Of course, that was if Jun Zishu really had a person she liked and that she wasn’t just taking everyone for a ride.
When Ren Nanying tried to imagine Jun Zishu holding hands and hugging someone other than her, she felt an inexplicable sense of anger. However, she quickly pinched her fingers and snapped herself back to reality.
The game continued after Jun Zishu’s turn ended. However, Ren Nanying remained in a daze throughout the entire time.
At this point, Ren Nanying was already certain that something was wrong with her. She might have tried to avoid this problem before, but she couldn’t do so anymore. Currently, she could vividly sense the yearning she had for Jun Zishu. She could sense her desire to monopolize Jun Zishu for herself.
Ren Nanying pursed her lips. Reason told her that this wasn’t right. Yet, her emotions told her nothing was wrong and that she should simply go with the flow.
After several rounds of letting her thoughts wander, Ren Nanying eventually snapped out of her daze when she ended up being the first to lose.
“You lost again, Cousin! Okay! I’m definitely going to win this round!” Liu Manman said with an energized expression.
Ren Nanying simply shrugged in response, expressing her fearlessness.
Unfortunately, Liu Manman did not win the round. Instead, it was Liu Yingtong who won.
“Tongtong! Tongtong! Hear me out! Ask her this question!” Liu Manman said. She was originally clinging to Liu Yingtong already. After she finished speaking, she promptly leaned even closer to Liu Yingtong and began whispering into the other party’s ear.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What are you trying to ask, Manman?” Lin Su asked as she curiously watched Liu Manman and Liu Yingtong’s interaction.
A few seconds later, Liu Yingtong nodded and looked toward Ren Nanying, asking, “Do you have someone you like?”
Oho.
Immediately, everyone from Room 412 plus Chen Beimo revealed looks of anticipation. As for the others, Liu Yingtong looked indifferent like usual, Jiang Mubai looked stiff, and Jun Zishu looked amused.
Meanwhile, Ren Nanying was stunned by this question. Should she answer yes or no?
While it was true that she had one, but… But she had just figured out her feelings, and she was still feeling a little confused! She still hadn’t mentally prepared herself to confess her feelings!
[What if she says no, Host? Would you be disappointed?]
She won’t say no.
[How do you know that?]
I just know it.
Jun Zishu rubbed her fingers together as she looked toward Ren Nanying. Then, when she met Ren Nanying’s eyes, she revealed an ambiguous smile.
Meanwhile, Ren Nanying shuddered a little when she saw Jun Zishu’s smile. Then, she answered:
In the end, Ren Nanying still chose to spit out the voice in her heart. She simply couldn’t bring herself to lie when she met with Jun Zishu’s eyes. Even though she knew her actions came with some risks, she had a feeling that Jun Zishu felt the same way when she met the girl’s eyes.
It was a strange situation. Ren Nanying didn’t know why she would hold such feelings for Jun Zishu. She just knew that she liked the girl.
“Are you two cousins joining forces to trick us?” Liu Manman asked in a huff. She did not trust Jun Zishu’s or Ren Nanying’s words at all.
There were only two boys among them. Since Jiang Mubai had already been ruled out, the only other possible candidate was Chen Beimo. However…
After looking at Chen Beimo, Liu Manman retracted her gaze. While she admitted that the boy looked handsome and was quite talented, he was a little too childish to match the two goddesses.
“Not at all. Didn’t we agree to tell the truth? Everything I said was the truth,” Jun Zishu said, shrugging innocently.
Everything she said was the truth. There was not a single lie in her words.
“I am telling the truth as well,” Ren Nanying said.
“Okay! We’ll help you two get together with your loved ones today! Say it, then! Who do you two like?” Liu Manman said, slapping her thigh as she decided as such. Then, she suddenly looked at her hand and her thigh before muttering, “Huh? How come my leg doesn’t hurt?”
“Because you slapped my thigh,” Liu Yingtong gloomily said.
“Sorry, sorry, my bad,” Liu Manman hurriedly apologized with an embarrassed smile.
In the meantime, Jun Zishu and Ren Nanying stared into each other’s eyes, neither of them saying a word.
“Don’t tell me you two fell for each other?” Liu Manman asked in a surprised tone when she noticed Jun Zishu and Ren Nanying looking at each other.
“Full marks for that answer,” Jun Zishu said as she snapped her fingers.
“I’m shocked,” Liu Manman expressed.
“I’m also shocked,” Lin Su seconded.
“I’m really shocked,” Xu Qiu followed.
“I’m shocked beyond words,” Chen Beimo ended the streak.
Liu Yingtong remained habitually calm and did not express her views on the matter. Jiang Mubai, on the other hand, froze from shock.
“You’re not joking, right?” Liu Manman asked for confirmation.
“Not at all,” Jun Zishu answered nonchalantly. Then, she looked toward Ren Nanying with a smile and asked, “Am I right?”
Ren Nanying nodded.
In reality, Ren Nanying was still feeling a little dazed over the situation. She felt as if the winning lottery ticket had just fallen out of the sky, and it just so happened to hit her on the head.
Just a moment ago, Ren Nanying was still tangled over the fact that she had seemingly fallen in love with Jun Zishu. Yet, two minutes later, Jun Zishu told her that she liked her. This situation was so unbelievable that Ren Nanying couldn’t help but feel as if she were dreaming. Yet, the scene in front of her couldn’t be any more real.
“Why does Cousin look dazed?”
“Maybe the surprise was a little too much for her. After all, we have never confessed to each other before,” Jun Zishu calmly said as she looked at Ren Nanying’s dumbfounded expression in amusement. To tease the other party further, she hooked Ren Nanying’s chin with a finger, the unexpected physical contact causing Ren Nanying to shiver.
“Actually, I’m still finding this a little hard to believe,” Liu Manman said.
“Me, too. Aren’t you two cousins? Aren’t you related by blood?” Lin Su asked.
When Ren Nanying finally snapped out of her daze and heard Lin Su’s questions, she promptly retorted, saying, “There’s no blood relationship between us.”
“Huh?”
Everyone collectively grew confused.
“Nanying is the daughter of my uncle’s comrade-in-arms. Nanying’s parents made the ultimate sacrifice in battle, so my uncle adopted Nanying, and the two of us became cousins. However, there isn’t actually any blood relationship between us,” Jun Zishu said, clarifying the situation.
Since there was no blood relation between them, the secular world couldn’t hinder them from getting together.
“So, does this mean you two are together now?” Liu Manman asked.
Hearing this, Ren Nanying looked at Jun Zishu expectantly, her heart transforming into a chaotic mess. This situation was too sudden, surprising, confusing, and unbelievable.
“That’s right. You’re willing to date me, right?” Jun Zishu asked as she looked at Ren Nanying.
“I’m willing.” Ren Nanying fervently nodded.
Liu Manman: Then… Congratulations to our two female guests on their successful hand-holding!
Lin Su: Do our two female guests have anything to remark on your successful hand-holding?
Xu Qiu: Should I plug in an advert at this time?
Lin Su: Just advertise for yourself.
Ren Nanying: I feel a little happy and excited.
Jun Zishu: Everything was as expected.
“Expected? What do you mean?” Lin Su asked curiously.
“I mean that I knew she would like me and that we would end up together,” Jun Zishu said, her eyes exuding confidence.
“Woah. Aren’t you a little too confident? How are you so certain?” Liu Manman asked.
However, Jun Zishu did not answer. She simply smiled and held hands with Ren Nanying, their fingers intertwined.
“I suddenly feel that we shouldn’t date during the apocalypse. Shouldn’t we focus on our studies instead?” Liu Manman said, a vein popping up on her forehead after being fed a mouthful of dog food.
“To hell with the Truth game. I’m curious. How did you two end up liking each other?” Lin Su asked, calling an end to their game as she looked at the newly paired wife and wife.
“It was love at first sight. On the first day of the apocalypse, when she jumped into our balcony and met eyes with me, I fell for her on the spot,” Jun Zishu said without even the slightest blush on her face.
“What about you?” Lin Su asked as she turned to Ren Nanying.

“I felt that she was an exceptionally wonderful person initially. Then, I realized that she had great looks, a great body, an intelligent mind, a brave heart, a calm and sensible personality…”
“Okay, okay, okay, that’s enough. Stop speaking,” Liu Manman said, unable to handle any more dog food getting stuffed down her throat.
Let’s interview our male guest here. What do you think about the two of them getting together?” Liu Manman asked as she held up an imaginary microphone to Jiang Mubai.
However, Jiang Mubai was still in a trance, so his good buddy spoke for him instead:
“This is the best ever ‘love rivals become lovers in the apocalypse’ scenario I have seen. Of course we should bless them.”
