Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 64

As it turned out, earlier that morning, Bai Shuwen had been chatting idly with Dong Yue and others in the hotel lobby.

After a while, she saw Fu Siheng leave the hotel.

She hadn\'t paid much attention at first, assuming Fu Siheng had gone out to kill zombies and collect Crystal Cores.

However, not long after, she noticed Nie Long also walking out.

At this point, she already had a bad feeling. A moment later, Zhao Yueyue rushed out of the hotel as well, looking anxious.

Now, Bai Shuwen was truly unsettled, so she followed them out.

She trailed behind Zhao Yueyue, and after walking for a while, she discovered Fu Siheng just ahead, with Nie Long there too. To her shock, the two men were fighting!

This wasn\'t inside the hotel where fights could go unnoticed. Out here, if someone died, it would be considered the victim\'s own fault!

Fu Siheng seemed reluctant to fight Nie Long, but Nie Long was relentless, aiming to kill with every move.

Fu Siheng had no choice but to get serious, but his Supernatural Ability was no match for Nie Long\'s, and he gradually lost ground.

Just as Nie Long was about to deliver a fatal blow to Fu Siheng, Zhao Yueyue suddenly rushed forward, taking the deadly strike meant for Fu Siheng!

Fu Siheng was stunned at first, then, as if suddenly possessed, he charged at Nie Long, engaging in another fierce battle.

Bai Shuwen, of course, didn\'t just stand by watching. With her help, Fu Siheng finally managed to kill Nie Long.

But Zhao Yueyue... she was fading fast.

It turned out that Zhao Yueyue knew Nie Long still harbored resentment over her past marriage to Fu Siheng and constantly sought to end Fu Siheng\'s life.

That morning, she had noticed Nie Long secretly following Fu Siheng out of the hotel, so she followed them as well.

She knew Fu Siheng couldn\'t beat Nie Long, and she feared Fu Siheng would die...

When she saw Nie Long about to kill Fu Siheng, she acted without thinking and rushed forward.

Now, Fu Siheng was cradling Zhao Yueyue, his face etched with grief.

"Why... why did you do this?" he asked, his voice hoarse. "Weren\'t you..."

Hadn\'t Zhao Yueyue betrayed him for Nie Long in the past?

So why now did she take the fatal blow meant for him?

If she hadn\'t rushed in, it would likely be him lying dead now...

At this moment, Fu Siheng still hadn\'t recovered his memories.

In his mind, there was no trace of Zhao Yueyue\'s existence. He couldn\'t remember how they met, how they fell in love, or even the scene of their separation.

Yet, his heart was in excruciating pain, as if someone had torn open his chest, leaving a gaping, bloody wound.

"Because I wanted you to be safe..."

Zhao Yueyue raised her hand to gently caress his face, managing a weak smile. "Siheng, you\'re the person I love most in this life, always have been. No matter what, I wanted you to live on, whether it was back then or now..."

Back then, she and Fu Siheng had encountered Nie Long by chance.

Nie Long was her first love, but they had broken up many years ago and hadn\'t been in contact since.

She never imagined Nie Long would harbor such ill intentions towards her, even getting into a fight with Fu Siheng.

Fu Siheng was no match for him, of course.

In the end, Nie Long had been about to kill Fu Siheng!

To save Fu Siheng\'s life, she had begged and pleaded, agreeing to leave with Nie Long and never return to Fu Siheng\'s side. Only then did Nie Long relent.

But at that time, Fu Siheng wasn\'t fully conscious, so he didn\'t know that Zhao Yueyue had left with Nie Long to save him.

Later, when Fu Siheng regained his senses and found Zhao Yueyue gone, he must have thought she had betrayed him, leading to his heartbreak and the suppression of all memories related to her...

Gu Wanyin had guessed most of this already.

But now, she still couldn\'t help but sigh at the tragedy of it all.

This series of tragedies was all Nie Long\'s doing.

Although Nie Long was dead now, Zhao Yueyue was on the brink of death, and Fu Siheng\'s memories would never return.

"Don\'t speak anymore. You can\'t die. I\'ll find a way, I\'ll find a way to save you..."

Fu Siheng panicked. He turned to look at Gu Wanyin, his eyes suddenly brightening. "Boss Gu, do you have a way? Can you save her?"

Gu Wanyin shook her head slightly.

Even if she could interfere in others\' affairs, which she couldn\'t, there was no way for her to save Zhao Yueyue...

Fu Siheng\'s eyes dimmed, but he quickly started rambling incoherently, "Then I\'ll take her back to the hotel! They can save her there, right? There\'s medicine, isn\'t there? My brother recovered, so she must be able to..."

"Siheng, don\'t be like this." Zhao Yueyue smiled weakly. "I\'m not going to make it. I know it clearly. Don\'t waste your effort. I heard them say earlier that you\'ve forgotten me, is that right? Perhaps it\'s for the best. At least when you think of me in the future, you won\'t be too sad."

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally, her hand fell limply...

"No!" Fu Siheng cried out in despair. "No! Wake up! You can\'t die!"

He shook Zhao Yueyue\'s body desperately, but it was all in vain.

In the end, he could only sit there, holding Zhao Yueyue, his mind blank.

He felt he should be crying, but for some reason, no tears would come. He just felt a pain in his heart that nearly suffocated him, his mind completely empty.

Bai Shuwen reached out to pat his shoulder in comfort but pulled her hand back.

At a time like this, any words of consolation would be hollow and powerless.

However, she also saw things clearly now.

In truth, she didn\'t really like Fu Siheng that much.

At least, she could never sacrifice her life for Fu Siheng as Zhao Yueyue had done.

Moreover, with Zhao Yueyue\'s death, even though Fu Siheng had no memories of her from before, she would forever remain in his heart from now on.

After a while, Fu Siheng finally stood up.

Carrying Zhao Yueyue, he found a suitable spot of empty land and buried her.

As for Nie Long\'s corpse, naturally, no one cared about it.

It was already merciful not to desecrate it.

...

Back at the hotel, Gu Wanyin received a new mission from the system.

"Ding! New mission unlocked: Sell a total of 100 books from the bookstore, any type, no time limit. Mission rewards: All rooms on the 8th floor unlocked; all rooms on the 7th floor upgraded once; all items in the supermarket unlocked; unlock the beauty and skincare store, unlock unlimited quantities of all products in the beauty and skincare store; unlock the school and one teaching building, unlock the school playground. Note: The 8th floor, like the 5th floor, consists of family rooms; hotel guests can apply for teaching positions at the school, and upon successful hiring, will receive a base reward of 500 points per month, with additional points possible based on student performance."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin\'s eyes lit up.

Finally, there would be a school!
