Su Can turned around and saw a clean-looking woman with extremely clear eyes standing behind him.

“You are…” Su Can looked at the woman in confusion. He found her familiar, but he really could not remember where he had seen her before.

The woman blinked and asked playfully, “Did you forget that you saved me in the bar last night? I haven’t thanked you yet. It shouldn’t be too late to make it up to you now, right?”

“You’re the woman from last night?”

Realization finally dawned on Su Can that she was the woman from last night after he heard her words.

“You remember now, right? My name is Li Jiayue. Thank you so much for last night. I wouldn’t know what would happen if it weren’t for you,” Li Jiayue said as she sized Su Can up.

Su Can briefly introduced himself after that, and the duo could be considered to have gotten to know each other.

After chatting for a while, Li Jiayue suddenly scrunched her nose up slightly. She could not help but say with a hint of concern in her eyes, “You seem to have drunk quite a bit tonight. Are you like this every day?”

“Huh?”

Su Can was briefly stunned by Li Jiayue’s clear eyes. It had been a long time since he had met such an honest girl. It was not just about her looks, she seemed like an honest and pure person inside as well. She was untainted like a piece of white paper.

“Why are you in a daze? I planned to go for supper, but I didn’t expect to meet you here. Do you want to come with me? I can also thank you properly with this…” Li Jiayue said.

“Yes, I’m a little hungry now,” Su Can agreed readily with a nod.

The duo had just left when the woman who returned to the bar to retrieve her bag came out. As she watched Su Can and Li Jiayue left, she complained angrily, “It wasn’t easy for me to catch a big fish, but it was stolen in just a blink of an eye…”

…

As Li Jiayue and Su Can walked, she looked at Su Can and said with twinkling eyes, “There were so many people last night, but you were the only one who helped me. There are very few people like you nowadays.”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Su Can said casually. To him, it was just a trivial matter.

Li Jiayue could not help but recall what happened last night. She had spent quite a lot of effort to get Su Can to the hotel last night. She continued to say, “You drank quite a lot last night. I couldn’t wake you up no matter how hard I tried.”

Su Can shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I’m used to it.”

Li Jiayue furrowed her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this and said seriously, “You’re still young so you have to take care of your health.”

When Su Can heard this, he could not help but think about the impending end of the world. Unknowingly, he said out loud, “I’m afraid there aren’t too many days for me to live…”

However, Su Can did not think too much about it. In any case, he thought that Li Jiayue would not understand him.

“How can that be? It’s so good to be alive! You can even eat a lot of delicious food!” Li Jiayue said as she looked at Su Can skeptically. When she spoke about food, her smile widened immediately.

Su Can was immediately distracted by Li Jiayue’s smile. He did not know if it was because he rarely met women like Li Jiayue, but she was particularly attractive to him at this time.

Seeing that Su Can did not say anything, Li Jiayue assumed that he disliked her words. She hastily said, afraid of further arousing his dislike, “No one knows how long they can live anyway. Who knows when Earth will come to an end?”

Upon hearing these words, Su Can turned to Li Jiayue and suddenly asked, “What would you do if the world is coming to an end?”

Although Li Jiayue was puzzled by the sudden question, she still replied, “The end of the world… If it were me, I’d think of ways to survive even if I might be powerless…”

“Powerless?”

Others might be powerless in this regard, but it was not the case for Su Can. After all, in the past, when he dreamed of disasters, he would often be able to avoid them when they came true.

Seeing that Su Can was silent again, Li Jiayue continued to say, “Look. The current temperature is really high. Although it’s not at the doomsday level, everyone can only hide from the heat at home. There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, human’s abilities are limited. Perhaps, a hero will emerge when the world ends?”

Li Jiayue’s bright smile and hopeful gaze complemented each other perfectly at this moment.

Under the moonlight, Su Can felt his heart skip a beat when he looked at the woman in front of him. When he regained his senses, he quickly stopped himself from falling off the cliff and thought to himself, ‘It’s because her smile is too sweet. I can’t fall into a woman’s trap again!’

Su Can was determined not to return to the days when he was treated like trash.

After that, the duo had a simple supper and exchanged their contacts before they bade farewell to each other.

…

Over the next few days,Li Jiayue often asked Su Can out for dinner, and Su Can found himself enjoying her company.

The duo grew more familiar with each other, and Su Can also realized that Li Jiayue was different from the women he met in the past.

…

One night, Su Can had a nightmare again. He dreamed of the first day of the apocalypse.

In his dreams, he was walking on the street, looking for Li Jiayue. When he found her, she had already frozen to death from the cold.

When he finally jolted awake, beads of cold sweat could be seen on his forehead. After that, he had difficulties sleeping again. The nightmare made it hard for him to calm down.

…

During the day, when Li Jiayue asked him out to go shopping, Su Can was absent-minded.

Seeing Su Can in a daze, Li Jiayue could not help but ask, “Su Can? Su Can? Do you feel unwell? Or did you not sleep well last night?”

In fact, this was not the first time Li Jiayue had seen Su Can so distracted. Earlier, when she was trying on bracelets, she had asked him multiple times which one looked better, but it seemed as though he did not hear her at all.

“Hm? What? Yeah, I’m fine. The air conditioner broke down last night so I didn’t sleep well,” Su Can replied, casually making up an excuse,

Fortunately, Li Jiayue did not ask any more questions.

…

Before going to bed that night, Su Can could not help but recall the nightmare from the night before. All of a sudden, he sat up and muttered to himself, “No, I can’t sit around and wait for death anymore. I have to get up and do something!”
