126. Senior Cythia, My Type!
“Alright, Big Cutie, now I’m going to tell you the rules of survival in the apocalypse.”
Standing at the entrance of the supermarket, Little Radish earnestly instructed Ruo Xiaoxi. For this speech, she had even unnecessarily stood on the stone platform at the supermarket entrance.
If her guess was correct, there should have been stone lions here once, acting as door gods.
“Cythia doesn’t talk much, so she probably won’t teach you this, but I must tell you. For example, when we go on a team outing to the abandoned supermarket to search for edible and usable things…”
Little Radish then pointed and instructed Ruo Xiaoxi, clearly getting a little revenge.
But Ruo Xiaoxi, being new to this place, naturally listened very carefully. If she didn’t know the rules and was accidentally carried off by some wild wolf, it would be troublesome.
“…And sometimes, when there’s an unknown place to explore, we have to send one person to venture out first. And Big Cutie, you have to do something when you’re with us, understand?”
“You make me sound so useless. Watch me use my Six Meridians Divine Sword to heal you from head to toe.” Ruo Xiaoxi mumbled, her voice low because she was indeed quite useless.
If Little Radish and Cythia accidentally fell on the road, she could indeed step up and heal them.
In the abandoned supermarket, through the broken glass windows, one could see rows of empty shelves chaotically toppled on the floor. It was clear there had been a riot here, and the scene was in utter chaos.
Cythia was also very direct. She took a hammer from the trunk of the car and smashed the door open!
The three girls entered the dark, abandoned supermarket, searching for any leftover edible or usable items on the shelves. Ruo Xiaoxi followed closely behind Cythia, feeling safe next to the big sister.
Thinking they might need to carry things back, she also went to find a shopping cart.
But the rows of shopping carts were mostly unusable. Either a wheel was missing or the handle was broken and the cart was overturned on the floor. After searching for a long time, they only found one usable one.
At the checkout counter, a few scattered receipts could be faintly seen.
Ruo Xiaoxi wanted to pick up a receipt to check the date, but found it was too blurry to read. She could only barely make out that someone had bought jelly.
How much misfortune has this place… or rather, this land, suffered?
Looking at the chaotic environment before her, Ruo Xiaoxi couldn’t help but think this.
And Senior Cythia, who originally lived in this city, what kind of disaster had she witnessed? Did her family and friends also perish in this catastrophe…
“You don’t have to follow me all the time.” Noticing Ruo Xiaoxi pushing a small shopping cart behind her, Cythia said indifferently.
“If you want anything, go find it yourself.”
“Ah… oh. But, but I still feel safer by Senior Cythia’s side!” Ruo Xiaoxi squeezed out a smile.
Although Cythia’s words were generous, this kind of shopping really didn’t make one happy.
And Ruo Xiaoxi could judge whether a person’s blood was delicious through her vampire’s keen sense of smell. After judgment, Senior Cythia’s blood was very appetizing, very appetizing!
As the saying goes, to capture a woman’s heart, you must first capture her stomach. Ruo Xiaoxi had already been captured.
And as a cute girl who had undergone a loli transformation, the big sister’s appearance was also very attractive to her. Before, if she shouted at a girl, “Your legs are so pretty, your chest is so big,” she would definitely be scolded as a pervert or a hooligan.
Now, as a loli, constantly shouting these things would make others find you cute and lewd, a perverted loli.
If they thought you were somewhat pretty, they might even want to chat with you, and if they were a yuri, they would definitely take you home. This was a privilege boys couldn’t enjoy!
Although the big sister’s name sounded like she was a girl from a foreign land.
But she could definitely win her over.
Because she’s a Liyue lesbian.jpg! (Reference Genshin Impact)
And Liyue cuisine emphasizes color, aroma, and taste. Senior Cythia is beautiful, smells good, and tastes good too.
Coincidentally, feeling hungry, the little vampire naturally wanted to get along well with this somewhat aloof big sister, seizing the opportunity to feed on her!
However, hearing Little Radish say that Senior Cythia had amnesia, Ruo Xiaoxi thought the senior was actually quite pitiful.
If there was a way, she really wanted to help her regain her memories, and also understand what had happened here, as well as how to leave this place in the future.
“Senior Cythia, can I… ask you something?”
“What is it?” Cythia swept the canned goods from the shelf into the cart Ruo Xiaoxi was pushing, without turning her head.
“Mmm… I actually heard from Little Radish that Senior Cythia lost some of her memories? And even had aphasia before.” Ruo Xiaoxi said, lightly touching her pink lips with a finger.
“Mmm.” Cythia didn’t deny it, but her demeanor showed no change.
During the time she had aphasia, she thought it might have been due to not speaking to anyone. As far as she could remember, she hadn’t seen a single person, only wandering alone in this city.
Occasionally, she would look up at the sky, as if someone had once told her something about the sky.
But when she looked up, it was only a misty, hazy gray. She eradicated the Beyond Beasts she encountered in the city until she built a small cottage everywhere. While planting radishes in the backyard, she grew a loli.
To this day, Cythia didn’t know if Little Radish was something she grew, or if she was simply there from the start.
“Then, Senior Cythia, have you never thought about trying to find your lost memories? Or, have you never thought about leaving here?”
“…I don’t know.” Cythia pondered for a moment in silence, then replied.
Her eyes were dull and lifeless.
No hope. Ruo Xiaoxi gradually saw it: those were eyes devoid of hope.
And after that vague answer, a trace of imperceptible sadness emerged from beneath her long, beautiful eyelashes, like a lonely and heavy sigh beneath a crescent moon.
“Ah…” Ruo Xiaoxi’s heart suddenly ached. She felt the profound depth of that sorrow.
Unlike the girls she saw in her own city, unlike everyone at school, Cythia lived in these ruins. She simply survived day after day, but she no longer looked up at the sky.
Because she also knew that the sky was never blue; it offered no hope.
Cythia didn’t like to laugh, didn’t like to talk, and didn’t like to interact with them.
Even with the appearance of Little Radish and Ruo Xiaoxi, she still remained as if alone, dressed in black, like a doll, wandering like a ghost in this unclaimed land.
Perhaps the cage of this enclosed space had also locked her heart in this way.
She didn’t know what she was waiting for, nor where she wanted to go in the future. Cythia, without even memories, was like a doll, as if waiting for someone to rescue her.
But precisely, Ruo Xiaoxi was the girl most full of sunshine and enthusiasm.
She was the little cotton-padded jacket that brought happiness and joy to big sisters, the little sun that illuminated and warmed hearts.
When she merely saw Cythia’s sadness when mentioning the future, it was as if fate had arranged it. That dull, lifeless gaze collided with Ruo Xiaoxi’s bright, clear, and sparkling eyes, full of sincerity.
This caused a quiet thought to spontaneously arise within Ruo Xiaoxi—
She wanted to save Cythia, and leave this place together.
