He looked up at himself, gave a gentle smile, and continued playing the piano.
Even in her daze, she did not stop playing the music that was so familiar to her.
Yes, I remember now...
It seemed like one night, he was unusually direct, and she was unusually frank.
It seems the two of them have played like this under the moonlight before...
However, even after it was over that night, he never mentioned the ring again.
They said goodbye and went their separate ways.
Even though we're both in Griffin, it feels like we've become complete strangers...
WA really wants to ask, "Can I have a ring?"
But every time I'm about to say something, I tell the other person not to overthink it.
Perhaps someone like me isn't worthy of much of their affection...
But why would he want to recreate the scene from back then?
She walked slowly toward him, as if it were the eternal yearning of life for love.
She didn't know if she would get the result she wanted in the end, but she still wanted to try.
He's right there, isn't that wonderful...?
As if understanding her thoughts, he took a box from his pocket, and then, under the moonlight, in the rain...
He knelt on one knee and presented it.
Even without opening it, one can guess what's inside...
WA covered her mouth in excitement, tears falling like a broken necklace.
"you you......"
"I'm sorry, Wa-chan, it's taken so long for it to get here."
His eyes still held that unwavering tenderness as he presented this supreme gift to the other party with the utmost sincerity.
"You...you big idiot!"
WA covered her eyes and cursed.
"Why did it take you so long to remember this?!"
"You...you have no idea how long I've been waiting..."
WA felt wronged, like a little girl, because she had been looking forward to the gift for so long, but the other person just didn't give it to her.
Luo Fan wasn't being biased; he figured WA probably wouldn't want his ring. She'd likely prefer him to treat her to cake, ice cream, or other delicious treats.
However, the longer time went on, the more he doubted himself: did the other person really not think that way?
Perhaps these past moments are proof that the two of them have grown closer to each other without even realizing it.
So now, he wants to give it a try and give her the ring.
But little did she know, it would take her so long to wait.
I'm such a terrible person...
"I'm so sorry, Wa-chan."
Luo Fan stood up and hugged the crying WA.
If I give it to you now, will you still call me an idiot?
"Idiot, you've already given it to me, why are you still asking this kind of question?"
"Then I'll take it back?"
"Huh? No, why is this happening..."
WA's pupils dilated instantly, and she reached for the ring, but then seemed to remember something and withdrew her hand...
This small reaction made Luo Fan feel incredibly heartbroken.
Luo Fan smiled wryly and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. How could I possibly take it back?"
Luo Fan opened the box, took out the ring, and then took WA's hand.
He put the ring on. The moment it was on, WA nearly collapsed, throwing herself into Luo Fan's arms.
Luo Fan gently patted her back.
"I'm sorry, Wa-chan, it was my fault, please forgive me."
"You big idiot! You big idiot! You big idiot!"
Her trembling voice drifted into the wind and the rain, becoming a scene that no one paid attention to.
In this world, so many people miss each other because they are not frank enough.
How unfortunate! But aside from regret, there was almost no way to turn things around.
But thankfully, WA didn't miss out on him because of this. Because he had been waiting, and she had been searching for him.
He's her big idiot, and she's his waifu.
Over time, even "big idiot" became a term of endearment...
Isn't she adorable?
How could she have fallen so hopelessly in love with such a fool?
Perhaps, it's precisely because he's such a fool that she loves him so unconditionally...
49. A storm is brewing, and the wind fills the tower.

The last day before the outbreak.
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
The city fell silent into the night.
Luo Fan and the girls sat on the balcony, looking down at the city.
How beautiful! It's a pity it'll turn into hell in a minute.
The door is now blocked, and the guns are loaded.
Luo Fan did not intend to act immediately after the outbreak; he would wait at least a while.
The outbreak was too chaotic at the beginning, and someone as well-armed as himself would easily be targeted by certain people. However, Luo Fan believed that the other party should not be able to pose a threat to him.
However, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion appropriately.
Luo Fan asked, "Sister 45, is the planning briefing ready?"
"It's done and has been uploaded to the cloud map for sharing."
45 sat on the sofa, tending to his weapons.
"Girls, is all the equipment ready?"
"finished."
The girls answered in unison.
"Okay, the only thing we're not prepared for now is Resident Evil..."
"Weapons, ammunition, props, even the escape plan—everything's been planned out. Of course, we almost messed it up, so be careful." Luo Fan: "At least when I checked it myself, there were no problems. I don't know how you guys almost messed it up." Marcus: "Anyway, that's it. Have fun, see you next time." Luo Fan: "Wait, there's one more thing." Marcus: "What is it now?" Luo Fan: "I might not have much free time lately, so keep an eye on Umbrella." Marcus: "We've been watching them for quite a while now." Luo Fan: "Then I'll leave it to you." "Goodbye." "This new toy is a sniper rifle. Despite its somewhat fantastical design, DecSec did their best to create it, even though Luo Fan had no idea what kind of otherworldly black technology their 3D printer was. The full magazine holds four bullets. The first three are 12.7mm M022 long-range sniper rounds, but DecSec made some minor modifications; these bullets have a certain explosive effect, enough to kill at least one person. The fourth bullet is a 15.2mm APFSDS, and at Luo Fan's request, it also has a slight explosive effect. The rifle is only about 170cm long and uses a special muzzle brake, but the trade-off is an unusually loud sound. However, there is also a special suppressor, but the recoil is slightly more difficult to control than before. Although Luo Fan also..." I don't know how DecSec combined all these advantages into one gun; they just told themselves, "Don't ask, it's just DecSec's magical 3D printer." Lofan named this weapon "Whisper," since it perfectly met his needs. Without the silencer, the gunshot was loud, but not unpleasant; in fact, it was "pleasant to the ear." The silencer, on the other hand, provided the concealment needed in certain situations. And its appearance—not all black, but black and white—resembled an elegant cane. The specially designed magazine, used for carrying two types of ammunition, further enhanced its aesthetic appeal. It perfectly embodied the concept of "movement and stillness in their time, the greatest sound is silent." PS: I know this gun sounds fantastical, but it's just for satisfying my chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and for later plot developments. I hope you won't criticize it; just enjoy it for fun.
As long as nothing goes wrong.
Even if they do, they have a Plan B.
In short, Raccoon City can't hold them back.
But this leads to the issue of relations between countries.
A biohazard crisis could very well become a fuse that is difficult to extinguish.
If the situation is not effectively controlled, it could erupt in an instant.
But what does this have to do with him?
All he needs to do is protect himself and the girls.
At most, I'll secretly handle some inappropriate matters; the rest is up to those guys in their ivory towers.
The city lights are still on, but in some hidden corners, perhaps some lurking thugs have already appeared...
Even if you don't see it, you can still feel it...
Look, look at that vivid, blood-red color!
A scream came from the darkness...
A flight has also deviated from its flight path and is heading towards this city that does not belong to it...
Testimonials
Well, as the title says, this book is now officially on sale.
I don't really know what to say...
If I had to name someone, it would be my group members.
During this time, my group members have been supporting and encouraging me. Whenever I felt I had to cut the book short, they always helped me persevere.
Without them, this book might have been abandoned long ago.
I know the plot is dragging a bit right now. I originally wanted to write some sweet slice-of-life scenes, but I kept putting it off until now, which is why the main storyline is only just starting.
I apologize for this, but I hope my sweetness has touched you all.
Let me address some of the concerns that people might have about this book:
This book will not go down the fantasy/supernatural genre; there will be no superpowers, and the art style will remain normal.
Then there's the knife. It won't kill anyone, but it will definitely cause some damage.
But I believe
As you've all seen, the sweet moments I've shared aren't going to stop, since not everyone's here yet (laughs).
Then there's the weapon Whisper. I'm sure some of you already know that this is the Whisper from the Virtuoso, but it looks different and doesn't actually carry four bullets on its shoulder. Also, please don't criticize me; this is really just to satisfy a kid's chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). (crying)
After all, if Umbrella's Wolfpack squad's Vector has such high-tech optical camouflage, then my Lovan having a dual-caliber sniper rifle with a silencer is pretty much the same, right? (laughs)
Also, to reiterate the silencer issue, according to the game's settings, both the Barrett and IWS2000 can be equipped with silencers, and the advanced technology from Girls' Frontline should be able to achieve better silencer performance than the current one, right?
Then it's just the usual requests for votes, favorites, etc. Thank you all very much for your support.
At least for this book, I really want to finish it; it's unlikely I'll abandon it.
Then, during the National Day holiday, there might be a surge in updates. (Maybe)
Then during winter break, I'll open a bounty event, maybe with no limit. We'll see how it's arranged then. If I get ganked by whales, I'll try my best to make up for it.
Finally, thank you all for your support. I hope we can continue walking together in the future.
