Luoshi was a little plant with broad green leaves and pretty white flowers.
After turning into a human, she became a four-year-old human toddler.
Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, but it was the year 2526, and the apocalypse had arrived.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions... One extreme disaster followed another.
She had no parents or relatives, and was fleeing all alone.
The people around her looked at her with confusion, pity, and even malice.
At one point, a kind stranger reminded her, "Little one, it's dangerous to be alone. Where are your mom and dad?"
Little Luoshi blinked and shook her head. "I don't have a mom or dad."
The stranger froze at her words. When he came to, his eyes were filled with even greater pity.
Luoshi couldn't understand the expression on his face. When he offered her a piece of chocolate, she politely asked:
"I'm looking for my seed. Have you seen it?"
Kind stranger: "..."
Such a pretty little girl, but what a pity she's an idiot.
After giving her a piece of chocolate, the kind stranger went on his way.
He thought their parting would be forever, but unexpectedly, the next time he saw her was six months later, at a safe zone.
The little girl was with a young man, wearing a pretty white dress.
In her hand was a scarce resource in the apocalypse: a lollipop.
Seeing that she was doing all right, the kind stranger was pleased. He went over to greet her.
He jokingly asked, "Did you find your seed?"
The little girl nodded, then pointed at the tall man beside her.
"He's over there."
Looking at the S-rank esper she had casually pointed to,
Kind stranger: "..."
Is she really an idiot, or just pretending?
In the third week after the apocalypse began, little Luoshi finally found the seed she'd lost long ago.
He was a very, very tall young man.
He was handsome and powerful.
But there was one thing she didn't like: no matter what, he refused to admit he was her seed.
Little Luoshi was very upset. She'd worked so hard to find her seed, but now he wouldn't acknowledge her.
QAQ.
Before the apocalypse, Zhuang Jiamu was a famous rich young master in the capital, glamorous and at the height of his career.
After the apocalypse, he had to worry about survival just like everyone else.
To make matters worse, a little girl who had latched onto him wouldn't leave him alone.
She didn't even reach his waist, and could barely speak. The moment she saw him, she clung to his leg and refused to let go.
No matter what Zhuang Jiamu asked, she wouldn't answer. She just stared at him with those innocent big eyes the whole time.
In the end, Zhuang Jiamu decided to keep her by his side temporarily. The last of his reason made him warn her:
"I can take you to the nearest base, but once we get there..."
"You can't follow me anymore."
The little girl stared at him without responding. Whether or not she understood, she simply played dumb and asked him:
"Have you bloomed? Do you need watering?"
Zhuang Jiamu: "..."
Bloom? He was about to explode!
-
Ever since he picked up this little tagalong with something wrong in her head, Zhuang Jiamu had been trying to get rid of her.
But when they reached the safe zone, a paternity test result gave him a vicious slap in the face:
"The probability of parentage between the two DNA samples is 99.99%, consistent with genetic inheritance."
A twenty-something-year-old lifelong bachelor like Zhuang Jiamu suddenly having a daughter that old was enough to blow his mind. No matter what, he insisted on having the test done again:
"There has to be a mistake! How could I possibly have a daughter this old?"
But then...
"Who said she's your daughter?"
The lab worker responsible for the test pushed up his glasses and corrected him:
"The two samples are from a mother and her child."
Zhuang Jiamu: "???"
Say that again. What kind of relationship?!
