Oh my apocalypse [YiZhanFF]

Chapter 47 - A Submarine Please

After all the stress Lee caused between Zhan and Yibo, Yibo had thought of something to punish her with. Because one thing was immediately clear to him when he realized that she was the reason why his beloved ZhanZhan withdrew from him. Lee MUST be punished severely! And Yibo didn't have to think long before he thought of something to punish her with.

So on their last morning before leaving that night, Yibo had prepared something very special for Lee in the common room. Like many of the new residents, Lee is one of those who still hasn't found a suitable job in either of the hotel facilities. Or rather, for which she was enthusiastic.

As always, job listings and searches ran across the large screen display in the common area. This was an innovation introduced by the AI. So each resident could see where workers were still needed and likewise they themselves could indicate that they were looking and for what.

And Yibo had come up with a very special request for Lee. Every five minutes, together with Lee's picture, the following text ran across the screen: "Is your love life too peaceful? Don't you feel like having a good fight with your partner over nothing? Then turn to me, Sung Lee. I am known for my lies, intrigues, disrespect and lack of common sense that can turn any good relationship into a roller coaster. Hurt feelings come free on top. Want the total package today? Then book me immediately for your guaranteed bad hours with your beloved partner and I promise you, in no time it's over with the harmony and peace. Turn to me with confidence, Sung Lee!"

Of course, there were immediate laughs and lots of whispering. Whispering like what Yibo had to endure because everyone noticed that he and Zhan had problems with each other and Zhan had even moved out of their shared apartment. And it pleased him that Lee was hurt. Because then, Yibo hoped, she would finally understand how he felt when she almost ruined his marriage with Zhan.

When Lee approached him about the ad on the big screen and accused him of deliberately trying to ruin her, Yibo said, "That's what happens when you mess with me! Did you really think I'd just take it that you almost ruined my marriage? Did it ever occur to you how much suffering you caused me and my husband? How much we suffered from the situation? I like to tell you again and again, I love Zhan adoringly and anyone who tries to take him away from me, no matter how, will have to deal with me! I know no mercy in this!"

"But now everyone thinks I'm..."

"For what? A bitch? Well, that's what you are. Again, leave my husband, my son and me alone. Then I have no problem with you. But if you ever cause stress in my marriage again, I will use stronger means! This was still harmless compared to what I would do to you then."

"Do you really love him that much? This man?"

"Yes. I love him so much that I would do anything for him. Just anything!"

"What did he talk you into being like that mhm?"

"Talked me into? Do you still not get it? I simply fell in love with my husband. That's all there is to it. He and I belong together. For me, there can only be him. And I don't give a damn what you believe or think. Or imagine! I love Zhan and I am grateful every day that he loves me too. While the world was going down and the apocalypse was upon us, time apparently stopped, I found my true love." Yibo replied and left.

He had to smile when he thought about how the two met. At that time, he was really annoyed by all the doctor's babbling. But he also missed it when the doctor was silent.

And Yibo almost had to laugh when he remembered them both discussing who should climb up the ladder in the canal shaft first. At the time, Yibo was afraid one of the creatures would come down the shaft and bite him in the butt. Zhan had told him not to worry about that. And Yibo asked why. Zhan's answer was that there was anyway nothing on his butt. At that time, Yibo got all red when Zhan said that and he was glad that Zhan couldn't see it. Today, however, he laughs about it and often talks to Zhan about that time.
