Xiao Hong: How do you explain the philosophy of love?

Xiao Jun : What philosophy? Love it, love it, throw it away if you don't love it!

Xiao Hong: What if you can't throw it away?

Xiao Jun : I can't leave it...... Just let it go! I recently liked a girl who lived downstairs from me, and when she threw me a smile, she forgot all about the threats...... The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Jun: Why do you still linger in this world? Take your current conditions for suicide, far from sufficient...... Xiao Hong (quietly): Because there is still something in this world that can make me die, and just this one, it can still tie me in love.

Xiao Jun: Yes, I'm the same!

Xiao Jun (voiceover) : ...... Our words seem to be too much......

Xiao Jun and the pregnant Xiao Hong are entangled together, they are more like they are scuffling than lingering, "sighing" like two beasts. Xiao Hong seemed to be sobbing all the time.

Xiao Hong hugged Xiao Jun tightly, as if the intimacy between the two was not sweet, but painful.

Xiao Hong: I don't have any strength, I can't even open my eyes, why is that?

Xiao Jun: It's good to be used to it!

The house has been "flooded with gold", and all kinds of debris are floating. The bed was submerged in water, but it was not wet yet. There was a lot of noise outside.

The bloated Xiao Hong stood on the table, leaning on the window and looking out.

Outside the window, there is a vast ocean, some people are on the boat, some use boxes as boats, some use bed boards as boats, the scene of the end of the world, everyone is escaping.

Xiao Hong saw a little pig standing alone on a small wooden plank and drifting.

Xiao Hong leaned on the bed with her big belly around her big belly and took a nap. The door was open.

The water had already reached the bed, and Xiao Hong seemed to be floating on it.

Shu Qun was drenched, holding the package on his head with one hand, and appeared at the door like a tropical woman who was accustomed to the utensils on her head.

Xiao Hong subconsciously opened her eyes.

Shu Qun waded into the house.

Xiao Hong was ecstatic.

Xiao Hong: What about San Lang?

Shu Qun unwrapped the package on his head.

Shu Qun: I haven't seen him for a few days, and I'm looking for money for you everywhere!

Shu Qun opened the package, which contained two steamed buns and a pack of cigarettes.

Shu Qun : I can't buy anything outside!

Xiao Hong (movingly): I know!

Shu Qun : There is still a guard at the entrance of the hotel!

Xiao Hong: Shu Qun, you can find a way to get me away first!

Shu Qun (embarrassed): What can be done?!

Xiao Hong tore open the cigarette case and handed a cigarette to Shu Qun.

Shu Qun shook his head.

Xiao Hong lit a cigarette and smoked it.

Shu Qun: I went back first, and I heard that my dad and they had fled to Nangang, so I went to find them.

Xiao Hong nodded in frustration.
