Inside the dimly lit dormitory.
An Ruer sat quietly at the edge of the bed for several minutes, with Xia Zhou next to her doing nothing except sobbing softly.
An Ruer opened her eyes, seeing the tear-streaked Xia Zhou and his complicated expression, she also saw the black hole in the palm of his hand.
Xia Zhou was immersed in his thoughts and struggles, failing to withdraw his hand in time. It was only after An Ruer stared at the black hole for two seconds that he clenched his hand into a fist and drew it back nervously.
"What was that just now.." An Ruer gently held Xia Zhou's hands, "You're crying so hard, is it related to this thing?"
In the future timeline, "Xia Zhou" confessed his secret to "An Ruer" when they were in desperate straits.
Now, Xia Zhou wanted to bring this point in time forward a bit, to let An Ruer decide whether she wanted to become a Spore Incubated Life.
