After Turning Into a Girl, I Kept My Girlfriend in the Apocalypse - Chapter 8

“I like you.”

There was no crying, no screaming, no resistance—none of what He Ning had expected.

Instead, she faced Bai Lu, who was smiling brightly and confessing her feelings in a way that made no sense.

“I’ve liked you since high school, really! These past few days, you’ve been especially captivating.”

He Ning was stunned. Could she really be breaking down this quickly?

“No, you’ve never liked me. Do you even know why I have seven earrings in my left ear?”

Bai Lu shook her head, confused.

“Because my left ear is closer to my heart. I’ve liked you since high school, and every year, I get another earring.”

He Ning didn’t know why the original owner of this body had so many earrings, but it was perfect for refuting Bai Lu.

“You don’t even know something this basic, yet you keep saying you like me. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

Bai Lu lowered her head, two streams of tears silently falling.

“It’s true! I really do like you. We can be together! I was wrong before. Please don’t treat me like this!”

As expected, she’s trying to play the sympathy card. Does she really think I’m some naive fool?

“If you really like me, why can’t you grant me this small request? I’m a delicate girl too, you know. I want to be cherished too~”

“No, this isn’t cherishing. This is abu—”

Slap!

Slap!

He Ning backhanded Bai Lu twice.

Bai Lu’s delicate but pale cheeks flushed crimson.

“Ahhh, Bai Lu, my little deer! You look so beautiful now—helpless, begging for mercy. This is your true self!”

“Ah~ I want to possess you—no, you’re already mine. I wish I could turn you into a specimen, to keep you by my side forever!”

Affection: -5

Obedience: +5

Seeing He Ning’s deranged state, Bai Lu shivered, barely holding back her tears.

“You used to like me, didn’t you? Why are you doing this?”

Why ask such childish questions at a time like this?

“Does liking someone mean you have to love them?”

“No. Liking someone means you have to destroy them, to disfigure them beyond recognition, so no one else can ever love them again!”

“You’re a madwoman! Waaah… Why? Why is this happening? Give me back my Ningning!”

Slap!

“Shut up! Don’t interrupt me!”

He Ning gasped for breath, clutching her flushed cheeks, her emotions spiraling out of control.

“For fairness’ sake, I’ll cool down too.”

He Ning stood boldly before Bai Lu, completely naked.

But Bai Lu had lost all interest.

It was as if He Ning wanted her to watch, driven by some twisted, perverse pleasure.

“Do you know why I always wanted you to dress up so beautifully?”

“Because I thought you were already beautiful.”

“The more beautiful you are, the more satisfying it is to destroy you, the more exhilarating it becomes! Promise me you’ll keep falling, you must…”

“You’re a monster!”

“Yes, perhaps I am a monster. But you might not even be left with scraps.”

Bai Lu’s Favorability: -10

Current Favorability: 12. She views you as a vile piece of trash.

Obedience: +10

Truly, I am amazing. In just one day, I’ve driven her favorability to rock bottom.

“He Ning, I hate you! I hate you!” Bai Lu struggled weakly, while He Ning lay on the floor, desperately trying to regulate her breathing.

“Ha~ I’m so tired, Xiao Lu. It’s all your fault for making the floor so dirty. But I’m relieved you’ve learned to use the litter box!”

The once radiant and elegant career woman now resembled a small, humiliated animal, stripped of all dignity, having fallen from the clouds into the mud.

This drove He Ning to madness. As she herself had said, it was too beautiful.

Regaining her composure, He Ning wiped the floor clean, then retrieved a plastic bag and scoop to clean the litter box.

“Not a drop spilled! My little darling is so well-behaved. Other people’s cats and dogs can’t even compare~”

As she spoke, He Ning dangled the contents of the bag in front of Bai Lu’s face.

“Am I a good pet owner?”

“What do you want?!”

“I told you I’m going to keep you. Oh, no, I mean raise you. Live like a stray dog for the rest of your life.”

“You’ll get what’s coming to you!”

Bai Lu struggled desperately, but couldn’t move an inch.

“Don’t strain yourself, darling. Your delicate skin will chafe. It would break my heart.”

Bai Lu’s Collapse Value +50

He Ning lightly kissed away the tears on Bai Lu’s cheek, as if offering compensation.

“Just like a little deer—even your tears are sweet. Hehe.”

The low, tickling whisper sent Bai Lu’s anger soaring. She twisted her head, trying to bite He Ning, but the woman easily dodged.

Smack!

“If you do things like that, you’ll be punished later, okay?”

“I… I’ve already missed my business trip! The Peacekeepers will find you! You’ll rot in prison for life!”

“They’ll never find you now. Just spend the rest of your life pleasing me, my little deer~”

Bai Lu froze. She’d been kidnapped for two or three days, yet there hadn’t been a single sign of rescue.

Thinking of those bizarre missing person cases, panic seized her.

“You… you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

Her powerless curses, repeated countless times, revealed her inner turmoil and helplessness.

“Hahaha, I just love seeing you break down and collapse, yet remain utterly helpless against me. It’s getting late, time for bed. Tomorrow will be even more fun.”

He Ning turned off the lights and left, humming a little tune.

“Sigh, she’s so stubborn. Knowing she can’t resist, why not just enjoy it?”

Still, he seemed genuinely fond of her.

I must be sick, he thought. How else could I find her humiliated state so… appetizing?

She was like a parrot with a leg ring, occasionally squawking gently, then erupting into furious hisses—just like an enraged, panting Hakimi.

An excellent pet would be a fine distraction in the End Times.

An hour later, He Ning emerged from a soothing hot bath and suddenly realized Bai Lu hadn’t washed in two days.

He carried a basin of cold water to the second bedroom.

After a night of torment, Bai Lu had finally drifted into a fitful sleep.

Showing no pity, He Ning splashed the cold water directly onto her.

Kindness is reserved for obedient children.

After the initial shock, convulsions, and pain, Bai Lu simply gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and resisted with silence, allowing He Ning to meticulously scrub every inch of her body.

Bai Lu’s Obedience Value +5

Early morning, the ninth day had arrived. Bai Lu remained silent, but thankfully she hadn’t fallen ill.

Although the End Times were supposed to arrive on the tenth day, she didn’t dare gamble on whether there might be discrepancies or unexpected events. She could only wait quietly at home, occasionally checking the news.

But the entire morning passed without incident. The calm was unsettling; she couldn’t imagine how disaster would unfold.

At noon, she ordered several takeout meals, treating them as a final farewell to the civilized world.

“Hmm, this curry is excellent. The spices are so fragrant.”

She sat in the second bedroom, deliberately savoring each bite in front of Bai Lu.

Though her stomach rumbled incessantly and she felt lightheaded with hunger, she still didn’t speak.

Over the past two days, Bai Lu had barely eaten anything, but He Ning had forcibly fed her small amounts.

How else am I supposed to be a proper cat owner?

As evening fell, twilight enveloped everyone who was out, the fiery sunset clouds resembling fresh bl00d, as if they might drip down at any moment.

By the time darkness had completely settled, the moon remained hidden behind thick, dark clouds.

It looked like it was about to rain.

Boom! Boom!

At 10 PM, several cannon-like booms echoed from the horizon, likely the Meteorological Bureau’s artificial rainmaking efforts.

Simultaneously, a notification popped up on her phone: “Heavy rain and strong winds expected.”

An hour later, a light drizzle began, gradually intensifying. The rain lashed down like a frenzied musician pounding on piano keys, transforming the pitch-black night into a blinding white.

Soon after, pained screams and howls erupted from downstairs.
