Chapter 6: The Time Machine 4

On the weekend, when Yi Lan woke up, it was already noon, and Mu Xin didn't wake her up as usual. Putting on her pajamas and pulling back the curtains, Iran stood in front of the window and stretched out. This sleep is really comfortable, since having Mu Xin, this is the first time that Yi Lan has slept well. However, isn't it Mu Xin's birthday today, where did he go?

Yi Lan walked to the living room and saw Mu Xin's backpack on the sofa, which was stuffed inside. But in the living room, dining room, and bathroom, Mu Xin was nowhere to be seen.

"Mu Mu!"

Yi Lan shouted a few times before seeing Mu Xin, who was already fully dressed, come out of the study with his mobile phone in his hand.

"Mommy's awake!"

"Why didn't you wake up your mother today?"

Mu Xin opened his mouth to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he didn't forget the game agreement with his mother. After thinking about it, Mu Xin said: "Today is the day when my mother suffered and gave birth to Mu Mu, and I want my mother to sleep a little longer." Mom usually takes care of Mu Mu so hard, thank you Mom! With that, Mu Xin bowed to Yi Lan.

Yi Lan was unexpectedly stunned at first, and gradually, tears welled up in her eyes. She squatted down and hugged Mu Xin tightly in her arms. "Good Mumu, mother's good son! Who taught you these words? ”

Yi Lan took it for granted that Peng Xinxin must have taught Mu Xin to say these intimate words on the phone just now. But what Mu Xin thought in her heart was that it was better for her mother not to know.

After packing up and going out, Yi Lan first took Mu Xin to Anna's house to pick up the birthday cake booked in advance. Anna also made a bag of strawberry lollipops for Mu Xin as a birthday gift.

When I drove to the agreed café in the botanical garden, Peng Xinxin had already arrived, and was talking on the phone. Seeing Yi Lan and them approaching, Peng Xinxin hung up the phone, picked up a handbag from the seat next to him, and handed it to Yi Lan.

"Oh, the birthday gift I bought for Mu Mu is too heavy, you can take it for him."

"What? So heavy. Yi Lan took it and looked at it, and there was a bag full of books.

"It's really a mother raised by her own son, what age is it, and you must read books, how convenient e-books are! How nice it would be to change your study into my son-in-law's playroom! ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Mu Xin happily put the books from the handbag to the table, and each one had to open the title page to take a look before putting it down. "Botany Letters", "Illustrated Guide to Higher Plants", "Plant Family and Genus Search Table", "Plant Physiology and Ecology", "Plant Cell Biology", "Plant Systematics".

"Mu Mu, what do you want your aunt to buy these books for? Don't we have some books in our house? ”

"The ones at home are too old, and the knowledge points taught in some places are now updated and not complete, these are all new and more accurate."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Yi Lan and Peng Xinxin exclaimed at the same time.

"Mu Mu, you tell my aunt that you want to read these books?"

"Some of these books are only used for graduate school entrance examinations, can you understand Mu Mu?" Iran was incredible.

"Some of them can't be understood, and there are a lot of words I don't know, so I use my phone to look up the dictionary."

"Wow! Yi Lan, what kind of son did you raise! Flowey and I thought he was going to buy it to please you! Huahua also praised him for being sensible, and he knew how to be grateful at such a young age. ”

"Flowey, why didn't he come?"

"I don't know what happened, saying that the Martian suddenly asked for negotiations, and he couldn't come back."

"Then it's just the two of us to celebrate Mu Mu's birthday."

"What about Coco? She said she was coming! ”

"She has an announcement today, and she is not sure when she will arrive, telling us not to wait for her."

"Alright! Mu Mu, quickly put away all the books and books, and blow out the candles to make a wish! ”

After Mu Mu made a wish to blow out the candles, Yi Lan helped him cut the cake together. Peng Xinxin picked the biggest piece, smeared a ball of cream with his fingers and was about to stuff it into his mouth, just sent it to his mouth, remembered something, looked for a tissue to wipe his fingers clean, and honestly ate the cake with a small fork.

"Mu Mu, why don't you eat?" Yi Lan saw that Mu Xin was just staring at the cake, but he didn't move, and asked him.

"Mom, can I take the cake over there to eat?" Mu Xin pointed to the outside of the café.

"Does Mu Mu have a girlfriend? Have you made an appointment where you want to meet? Peng Xin quipped.

"Not really!" Mu Xin's face flushed.

"It's okay to have a girlfriend, but don't forget, you want to be a son-in-law for your aunt!"

"Is two pieces enough?" Iran asked her son as she filled the box with the cake.

Mu Xin nodded, indicating that it was enough. Yi Lan thought about it, put two more pieces into the box, and took a few strawberry lollipops and put them in Mu Xin's pocket.

Mu Xin put on his small backpack, holding a cake box in his hand, wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and cautiously left the café.

"Why don't you ask who he's going to see?"

"I guess I made a new friend in the botanical garden, he has a good personality, and the children like to play with him."

"Then you should also ask clearly, or ask Mu Mu to invite someone over and celebrate his birthday with us. If you don't know it, let the baby out by yourself, how do you become a mother! ”

"It's always been like this, every time we come over, he goes to play by himself, and I sit here reading a book and waiting for him."

What Mu Xin wants to do, or what he asks, as long as it is not excessive, Yi Lan will generally meet it. Even if she sometimes asks the reason, she doesn't ask Mu Xin to give her a reason.

Yi Lan couldn't tell whether it was because she hadn't fully entered the role of a mother, or if she wanted to create a more relaxed environment for Mu Xin to grow up as much as possible.

In other words, deep down, she, like Mu Xin, is carefully guarding something, and no one dares to touch it again.

"Oops! You woman! I'll tell you......" Before Peng Xinxin could finish speaking, her mobile phone rang. As soon as the phone was connected, Peng Xinxin, who was still dancing with his teeth and claws a second ago, was as tender as water in an instant, and became angry.

"Well, I know! I didn't drink coffee, but people were very well-behaved. It's going to be fine, and Ilan is here too. If I'm not feeling well, she'll take me to the hospital, don't worry. I'll stay with Iran at night, don't worry! ”

"Didn't come again?"

"Hmmm! It's been four days late, and this time it must be true! Peng Xinxin's face was excited.

Peng Xinxin's menstrual period is not punctual every month, as long as she comes two or three days late in any month, she screams and feels that she is pregnant.

What's interesting is that Huahua will accompany her every time to get excited. Not only did she not feel disappointed afterwards, but she would buy gifts to comfort Peng Xinxin, coaxing her not to be sad, the baby will always have it.

Yi Lan had long been used to it, but she still asked with concern, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"It's just that my little stomach hurts a little, but everything else is fine!"

"Is the heart, the liver, or something okay?" Coco wore a black tight skirt and a smoke-gray trench coat and appeared behind Peng Xinxin. The cold color dress made her look even more cold and arrogant.

"What do you mean?"

"I pity Huahua, his heart and liver have long been tortured by you, anyway, it's useless to keep yours, it's better to exchange yours for him, so that he can live a few more years."

"Hate you!"

"You deserve it too?"

Coco sat down next to Peng Xinxin, ordered a cup of espresso, took a piece of cake and ate two bites, looking left and right and hoping that he didn't see the protagonist of the party. asked, "What about Mu Xin?" ”

"Went out to play."

"Flowey took him there?"

"No, he's alone."

"Illan, you're crazy! Such a big guts! ”

"Look! Ilan, I knew Coco was going to talk about you when she came. ”

"Shut up! She doesn't have a brain, do you also owe IQ? The pestle is the same as wood here, so I don't know where to stop? ”

"There's no need to make a fuss, right? Every time I bring Mu Mu here, he goes out to play by himself. ”

"I'm really convinced! Hum! But also, with such confidential information, it is impossible for you to know it. ”

"What, what, let's talk about it!" When Peng Xinxin heard that there was a secret, he was nervous and excited.

The waiter came over with coffee, and Coco took the cup, took a sip, and put it on the table. When the waiter was far away, she whispered, "A few months ago, there was a spaceship that crashed in the Botanical Garden, not far from here. ”

"Didn't you say it was a meteorite fall?" Iran was a little confused.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, I drove my own spaceship to and from Mars. If you accidentally fall somewhere, it's not a big deal, and the news is too lazy to broadcast. ”

"That spaceship is not something that human technology can build at all."

"That's the Martian spaceship! No wonder Huahua suddenly said that the Martians wanted to negotiate, it turned out to be for this. Peng Xinxin still looked disapproving.

Yi Lan was already nervous, her eyes looked out the window, hoping to see Mu Xin's figure in the next second.

"I said what's wrong with you, you're usually quite imaginative, did you short-circuit today? Or are you really pregnant, stupid for three years? You also don't want to think about it, if it's really a Martian spacecraft, is it necessary for the government to block the news? Also meteorite falls, nonsense! That spaceship, even the Martians can't build it! ”

When Yi Lan heard this, she couldn't sit still, grabbed her phone and rushed out. She had a bad feeling in her heart, but she couldn't grasp what it was. The fog that had been trapping her, making her dare not think about it, and trying to avoid it, was now thundering with rumbling thunder in her head.

The location on the phone showed that Mu Xin was not too far away from her, and she trotted all the way over. It was as if he saw Mu Xin walking towards the mist, and once he walked into the depths of the mist, he would be taken away by the mist.

She had to hurry up and find him before she lost him forever and take him home. Fortunately, today is New Year's Day, and there are not many tourists in the botanical garden, so Yi Lan doesn't have to worry about who she will bump into, and she can run towards Mu Xin as fast as possible.
