Xuan Mu touched the handle of a door, “Will you accept my one thousand, eight hundred and thirty-ninth sorry?”

“Yea- ahhh?....Ah.” Bing Shi was left speechless when he opened the door to the hotel’s helipad. She couldn’t help but show a very, very, very weird expression, “...?...,” which quickly switched into bewilderment.

The private occasion set for two was opulent, grand, dreamy, and luxurious. The flower-laden romantic dinner was held 205 meters up in the air on the hotel’s helipad, arranged inside a heart-shaped dome. With the perfect soundtrack of a starry sky, candles, and classical music, the event looked quite dreamy. Impossibly so; the set up was almost unreal. And if one thought that was all, then the spectacular light show would surely leave one at a loss of words.

Xuan Mu coughed out awkwardly and immediately closed the door, “In one, two, three, we will jump into that approaching chopper.”

“Oh,” Bing Shi obliged immediately, holding onto him tighter, she hid her face. She refused to get off his shoulders. What if she tripped while running and turned herself into a laughing stock?

“...” The waiters, musicians, and other personnel gaped at the pair that appeared out of nowhere and also disappeared out of nowhere. What just happened?! Mr. Quin and his lover were supposed to arrive on the helicopter, they weren’t supposed to walk here and then go into it! This was, quite possibly, the opposite of their plan! Was this on purpose?!

.....

Up in the cockpit, Xuan Mu took control of the helicopter as the main pilot. While they were at it, he wanted to test out if she really wasn’t into such lovey-dovey things. She could be lying and deep down, she could be wishing exactly that. She was into PDA in books, but not in real life. Did that make sense? No, not to him. What better way to test it out, by letting her believe that the anniversary dinner was for her?

From her expression earlier, she looked more troubled than pleased, which caused a stone to roll off his heart... in relief. Well, his test was totally unnecessary as she never pretended before him when it came to things she liked and disliked.

“Miss Silika knows how to fly a chopper?” asked the co-pilot in amazement as he gave Bing Shi his spot.

“Not really,” taking a seat, Bing Shi held the control stick clumsily. Their past house had a helipad for Xuan Mu’s flying baby, so she wasn’t completely clueless. During the apocalypse, the soldiers would sometimes let her sit in the co-pilot’s seat.

Just because she was curious about the mechanics behind it, it didn’t mean she was interested in flying the actual thing. But since they offered, she wouldn’t say no and would agree for fun’s sake. As long as there was no landing. Landing was scary. She was bad at landing.

She and Xuan Mu tried out a bunch of new things, and she would be lying if she said that those things were ever useful for survival. Look at her pole dancing, for example. She had the drive for learning new things. But if she had to choose between fighting bears in the forest or learning how to play the violin, she, of course, would choose flower arrangements.

Him being able to be without her for such a long time was probably the push she needed to end her addiction. Yeah, she knew how to fight now, but somehow, she felt as if she became weaker instead.

Sending the pilots to the back, Xuan Mu noticed that her attention to the night city began to drop as her eyes studied the various buttons, panels, and navigational computers. Tilting his head towards her, he pecked her lips, “Happy Anniversary.”

Bing Shi’s eyes lit up like little torches, pecking him back, “Happy Anniversary.”

Xuan Mu eyed her determined look, pleasantly surprised. Correct, today was their anniversary. The day they sealed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. In the past, none of them needed to celebrate it in a special way. Usually, they would just wish the other a happy anniversary after waking up in the morning was what they would usually do during their long-distance relationship. Later it changed into an additional little peck after waking up next to each other. Even now, they didn’t have a need to change this habit of theirs.

The next day, Silika Lin’s father went with his wife to a grocery shop. When he noticed the glaring picture of his daughter with a man, he immediately bought the newspaper from the counter.

: They are back! The ultra-private pair were finally spotted together during an on-set scandal! Silika Lin and Lukas Schiffer were first romantically linked after news of their relationship broke out with photos of them holding hands a few months ago, and have kept a low profile ever since. Little is known about Silika’s lover. He reportedly disappeared and deleted all of his social media after his popularity soared thanks to a single photoshoot with Silika Lin...:

“Why is it him again?!” Silika’s mother snatched the news from his hand and ripped it apart in rage. Many thought they already broke up as Silika was being followed by the paparazzi twenty-four hours a day, and there was no sign of them being in contact.

Silika Lin’s father, too, didn’t like what he saw. Were his assumptions about that young man wrong?

: Lukas Shiffer, not a real man but a coward?:

: Where was Lukas Schiffer when Silika Lin needed him the most?:

: Silika Lin forcefully kissed by her colleague. Lukas Schiffer running away like a coward.:

: Lukas Schiffer not standing up to his woman.:

: Silika Lin, a victim of an abusive relationship.:

A few days later...

Back in their nest, Xuan Mu opened the door for Li Jie. Seeing that odd expression, he didn’t have to guess twice to know what went through that guy’s head. Society was currently sharpening its knives to tear him apart from Silika Lin. Silika’s reputation was stronger than he thought. He just wanted to take away a bit of the hate that his wife accumulated, and it worked so well that it magically backfired against him. While his wife received all of society’s pity, he ended up with a reputation of having next to no balls and a microscopic sized penis. Her mission was the top priority, so he would have to suck it up for now.

Li Jie was led to the bedroom but it seemed no different from a hospital room. When he observed the inside of the room, he was shaken to see a sleeping woman- or rather, the IV fluids in a plastic bag that flowed through various tubes that connected to her body, “W...what happened?”

“She’s resting,” Xuan Mu took Li Jie to the living room, “I need you to postpone her schedule for half a year.”

The Internet was filled with Silika Lin turning into an ugly skeleton. It was an exaggeration, but if this continued, she would really turn into one. She gave an excuse that it was for a movie and thankfully, everyone believed it. Because of this, the public was loving her even more, except for Xuan Mu. Though she always tried to enjoy her meals, he knew very well that eating felt more like a chore to her. Eating, to Bing Shi, was more of a necessary evil she had to do to survive.

After Bing Shi finished filming her last movie, she wanted to cure her addiction and fully recover, but she couldn’t afford to postpone her work with such long breaks in between. Not in the past world, not in this world, not in the future worlds.

As a celebrity, she was at her peak; if she disappeared, people would forget her, and she would have to start all over again from the beginning. The older she got, the harder it would be to get back into the spotlight.

But Xuan Mu was right- she couldn’t wait until she finished her mission. By then, it would be too late for her to recover. Mission or not, it had to wait; her health was currently more important. She just hoped that by the time she woke up, the world wouldn’t be burning as a result of her husband’s rage.
