"I promise I won''t tell Brother Lianzheng anything I see today. You happy?"

Tingliao was satisfied with the answer, so he turned back around and continued crawling ahead.

Eventually, the two arrived at the vent''s exit, carefully jumping down after Tingliao lit the ground up with a flashlight from his pocket.

Right before their eyes was a section of a metro train, with no front or end anywhere in sight.

"This metro train was just a demo train, so it doesn''t actually have a driver seat or anything... But the inside is super cool."

Despite Tingliao''s excitement, Zhezhe was starting to get a little nervous as the abandoned station was completely dark.

"Zhezhe, you okay?" Tingliao asked as he noticed her shaking a little.

"I-I''m okay..."

As the two continued walking forward, the two were now before the metro train entrance. But with no power to the door, it was showing no sign of opening.

"Wait here, okay? Let me find the temporary power switch. I remember it''s somewhere over here."

As Tingliao slowly disappeared into the dark, Zhezhe quickly ran over to the light before it was gone.

"I-I''m going with you." Zhezhe nervously stated.

"Okay... You aren''t scared, right?" Tingliao asked despite being able to tell Zhezhe was scared of the dark.

"Y-Yeah, why would I be scared of the dark?"

"Okay then..."

As the two continued walking around the station, Tingliao finally found the power switch at the corner of the station.

With the lights on, the two could see their surroundings much more clearly, but as the power level indicated, they only had one hour.

"Let''s go check it."

Tingliao held Zhezhe''s hand again as they headed back to the metro train entrance. Before the two even stepped forward, the metro door slid right open.

After walking inside the lit-up metro train, Zhezhe was stunned by the artwork inside the metro train.

"See? I told you it''s amazing..."

The artwork was a scenic scene of some natural beauty that looked almost straight out of a movie, with details that rivaled most nature art despite being just art for a metro train.

"It looks so beautiful... The mountain and the flowers... I wonder who drew it." Zhezhe murmured as she reached her hand out onto the train''s wall.

"Look, there''s a signature there... By the University of Guangdong?"

"Make sense... No one could draw all these by themselves."

Just as the two had finished examining the artwork on the metro wall in its entirety, they sat down together on the long metro seats.

"Is this a date?" Zhezhe suddenly asked.

"Um, I guess? I didn''t think of that at all. I just thought of bringing you somewhere cool, you know."

"Thank you..." Zhezhe quietly whispered.

"No problem."

As the train fell into silence, Tingliao suddenly pushed Zhezhe over and pinned her down to the seat.

"Zhezhe, you..."

Tingliao couldn''t finish his word as he still couldn''t get over the bombshell news that Lianzheng had just revealed.

"You don''t have to feel guilty... I liked it, and that''s all that matters... Besides, you''re going to take responsibility, right?"

"Of course I am. But——"

"Stop being so meek. Can you be more decisive for once? You either take responsibility, or you leave her forever."

Lingling sent out her ultimatum towards him as she noticed a small hint of regret on Tingliao''s face.

"I... Of course, I already said I''m going to take responsibility."

As Tingliao embraced Zhezhe on the bed, Lingling''s face looked much happier. But Lianzheng''s face was still dark.

"Lingling, they shouldn''t be doing this——"

"Come on, they both are happy and consenting to it. Besides, it''s the apocalypse. Who''s going to care?"

Lianzheng eventually backed down, seeing all three on the same side, but he still wanted to give a warning.

"You guys better not do it again. It''s still too harmful to do it this early——"

"Lianzheng, when did you become so old-fashioned? Zhezhe already has her period——"

"Because she has her period, he can''t do it. She''s way too young to get pregnant, and we don''t have any protection for them to use."

Lianzheng''s argument made all three of them fall into silence, unable to counteract his point at all.

"You understand me, Tingliao?"

Lianzheng asked as he waited for his response, not asking Zhezhe as he knew she would just agree to whatever Tingliao said.

"Yes... I understand. I''m not that desperate, okay? I can hold myself together..."

Tingliao looked a little disappointed as he had just gotten a glimmer of the satisfying feeling for the first time, but he knew Lianzheng was in the right.

But seeing him looking sad, Zhezhe couldn''t help but to speak up.

"Tingliao... We don''t have to do it inside... I can use other parts of my body——"

"Ahem, Zhezhe, let me take you to the shower. The smell is all over your body."

Lingling ended their conversation as she carried Zhezhe in her arms and walked out of the door, not letting the two say goodbye.

But what Zhezhe had said invigorated Tingliao''s mind. It was almost as if he had just realized there were even more exciting ways to do it than the standard way.

"Stop looking like a horny dog, you dumbass... You are lucky you have Zhezhe willing to put up with you——"

"Uh-huh, not like somebody who kicked both of us out of our room just to do something similar.

Surely someone wouldn''t be so hypocritical and only talk trash about their brother and not point out the fact that they had been doing it themselves——"

"Get over here, you little rat!"

As the two ran around the room in circles, the bad blood between them had already disappeared.

But just before Lianzheng could catch Tingliao, he was stopped by the sound of the door knock.

The two immediately went over to their handgun before walking back to the door, with the older on the left side and the younger on the right side.
