What worried Zeyan the most was naturally Kamisato Ayaka's physical condition. Kamisato Ayaka had really fallen into a long period of drowsiness, barely awake for any significant part of the day. Even when she was awake, she rarely had an appetite, and eating anything was very difficult. Moreover, after eating, she would vomit shortly after.
Before, Kamisato Ayaka had gone a full ten days without eating anything. These past few days, she had eaten and then vomited, which was equivalent to not eating at all, and her body had suffered further torment, making Zeyan almost go crazy with worry.
What to do?
What could be done?
What else could he do?
Zeyan thought he could be a strong person, but when faced with a desperate situation, he could only take advantage of Kamisato Ayaka's sleep to cry softly and relieve the pressure in his heart.
"Ayaka, Ayaka, what else can I do..."
Zeyan held Kamisato Ayaka's delicate body, speaking as if in a dream. His tired face was full of fragility, and then he slowly fell asleep in his fatigue and vulnerability.
Zeyan had gotten used to sleeping while holding Kamisato Ayaka, smelling the girl's fragrance and feeling her warmth.
Suddenly, he felt the delicate body in his arms leave. This made him instinctively struggle to wake up and shout, "Ayaka, don't go!"
The Waverider was still floating up and down.
Zeyan's gaze swept around, realizing that it might be a new day, but that didn't matter. What was important was that Kamisato Ayaka had actually sat up on her own.
Seeing this, Zeyan was overjoyed. "Ayaka, you're better!"
Kamisato Ayaka turned around, still looking fragile but with a faint smile. "I don't know, but suddenly I have strength. Maybe I'm really better? If so, there's something I want to do."
Zeyan immediately said seriously, "No matter what you want to do, Kamisato, I will definitely help you."
"This is something only Zeyan can do."
"What is it?"
"Take me."
Hearing the girl's direct words, Zeyan's face showed astonishment.
He never expected to hear such words from Kamisato Ayaka and said awkwardly, "At this time, Ayaka, don't you think it would be better to eat something?"
Kamisato Ayaka leaned closer, nestled in Zeyan's arms, and breathed softly, "That kind of thing, we can talk about later. Right now, I only hope you can fulfill my request. Zeyan, you won't refuse me, will you?"
"...Ayaka, I understand."
Zeyan would of course not refuse Kamisato Ayaka's request, after all, she was his Kamisato Ayaka.
Thinking that he could enter a state of sublimation with Kamisato Ayaka, his heart couldn't help but become fiery, and he also felt the delicate body of the girl in his arms heat up.
He gently laid the girl down, looked at her charming and beautiful face, and lowered his head.
Everything happened naturally.
Even though neither of them had any experience in the past, this was something instinctive to humans. They completed it well and deeply felt each other's love, very satisfied with everything.
This was further proof of their love.
"If we have children, what names would you give them?" Kamisato Ayaka asked, holding Zeyan's waist after the fact.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it. I didn't even dare to imagine today's events before," Zeyan said with a wry smile.
"Then you must think carefully, this is an important matter," Kamisato Ayaka said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Hmm, I will definitely think carefully," Zeyan affirmed.
But everything had to wait until they safely reached Liyue or returned to Inazuma.
Having lost their direction, Zeyan couldn't judge whether the Waverider was closer to Liyue or Inazuma. As for Kamisato Ayaka's compass, it had long been washed away by the seawater, and they didn't know where it had gone.
But no matter what, Kamisato Ayaka had recovered, and everything was getting better, wasn't it?
Zeyan was full of hope.
But in the days that followed, reality gave him another heavy blow, knocking him from the highest heavens into the abyss.
Kamisato Ayaka was as if she had never recovered. She was still so drowsy, barely awake for any significant part of the day, and even when awake, she had difficulty eating, and would vomit after eating.
What was that previous state then? A final burst of energy before death?
This situation made it even harder for Zeyan to accept. Clearly, everything seemed to be getting better, so why was it still like this? Why was reality so cruel to them?
"Ayaka, you can't have anything happen to you."
Zeyan was completely panicked, holding Kamisato Ayaka all day, not knowing what to do.
Waking up once more, Kamisato Ayaka probably knew her physical condition as well. She said softly, "Zeyan, if something really happens to me, you must live on strongly."
Zeyan held Kamisato Ayaka, his eyes red-rimmed. "No, Ayaka, nothing will happen to you. You will live with me, we will have a happy family, we will have our own children, we will watch them grow up together, and then grow old together slowly!"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled, but she was too weak to speak, only able to lie there until she fell asleep again.
The Waverider moved forward, rising and falling with the waves.
Outside, the storm could still be seen raging, the sea was still so turbulent, and not a glimmer of hope could be seen.
This time, Kamisato Ayaka slept longer than ever before, not opening her eyes for a full two days and two nights.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the haggard Zeyan. She had never seen Zeyan like this, his eyes devoid of any light.
"Zeyan..." Kamisato Ayaka called out softly.
Seemingly hearing Kamisato Ayaka's voice, a glimmer of light appeared in Zeyan's eyes. He then looked down and asked with concern whether she wanted to eat or drink.
Kamisato Ayaka shook her head and said weakly, "I want to hear a song."
Zeyan was taken aback, then gently began to sing, "If you don't know which way to go tomorrow, just stay by my side, will you be my wife..."
The familiar song, the familiar melody, brought a look of contentment to Kamisato Ayaka's face.
She closed her eyes, leaned against Zeyan's chest, and quietly listened to his heartbeat, listened to his singing.
During this process, she could feel her strength constantly draining away, her eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and a strange feeling inexplicably arose in her heart.
Perhaps this time when she fell asleep, she would never wake up again.
This made Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but want to open her eyes and take one last look at her man, but her eyelids were really too heavy, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open them again.
Could she no longer see?
In her ears, only Zeyan's last words came: "If you're tired of the wind and rain outside, just stay by my side, will you be my wife? I will definitely bear your occasional little temper, perhaps I can also give you a little surprise, a bit of laughter, a simple and peaceful little nest, accompany you through sunrise, accompany you through sunset, until old age."
