When Mu Tang woke up, Lu Yan was standing by the bed, he flipped through the documents on his knees with one hand, and reached into the quilt with the other hand, firmly grasping her hand, and interlocking his fingers.

The moment she woke up, Lu Yan had already noticed it, and hurriedly put the documents in her hand aside, lowered her head and said to Mu Tang with a smile:

"Awake?"

Mu Tang nodded, rubbed his eyes and sat up, the inky black hair scattered behind him slid down his shoulders, and said glutinously:

"I feel like I've slept for a long time......"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then got up from the chair, sat at the head of the bed, so that Mu Tang could lean on his shoulder, and said softly:

"It didn't last long, only slept one night."

Mu Tang shook his head and muttered:

"No, no, that's not what it means, it's ......" She looked up at Lu Yan, her dark pupils reflected Lu Yan's tired face, and whispered:

"It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time......"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yan instantly felt a sourness surging from his heart, and even his eyes were full of sorrow, his throat floated together, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:

"It's true ....... haven't heard of Tangtang for a long time."

Mu Tang blinked his eyes, suddenly sat up straight, turned around and held Lu Yan's face, leaned over and put his forehead against his forehead, and said in a coaxing tone:

"Don't be sad, it's okay, it's okay......"

As she spoke, she bent down, wrapped her arms around Lu Yan's shoulders, hugged him tightly, and leaned her head sideways on him.

The little girl who had been waiting for so long finally returned to him, and Lu Yan couldn't help but raise her hand to wrap her waist and hug her.

After a long while, Mu Tang asked softly:

"Will she bully you?"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and only after a few seconds did she realize that she was talking about another Mu Tang, crying and laughing:

"No, she doesn't bully me."

Mu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his face from Lu Yan's arms, grabbed his hand and touched his face, and touched Lu Yan's eyes with the other hand, and whispered:

"You look a lot haggard, it's hard, right? Sorry I couldn't help you......"

Her face was full of guilt, and Lu Yan was distressed when she saw it, a gentle smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she patted her head:

"How could you think that? As long as you are well, I will be very happy, and I will not be hard to do anything, and I will not feel tired. ”

Mu Tang looked at him with a thoughtful face, and suddenly asked him:

"Really? If I'm well, you won't be tired and you won't have to sleep? ”

Lu Yan's hand patting her head froze, and she lowered her head to Mu Tang's eyes full of curiosity, and suddenly didn't know how to answer her.

Accustomed to the calm and wise appearance of another Mu Tang, Lu Yan was a little overwhelmed by the little girl who had countless strange thoughts and was full of curiosity about everything.

Seeing that Lu Yan looked like he couldn't say what he was suffering from, Mu Tang suddenly laughed out loud, and his crooked eyebrows revealed a hint of cunning and pride.

No matter how stupid Lu Yan was, he knew that Mu Tang was playing tricks on him, and helplessness rose in his heart, but he suddenly changed his mind again, pretending to be embarrassed on his face, and said to Mu Tang in a compromise:

"Yes, with Tang Tang, I don't need to sleep anymore, why don't Tang Tang supervise me from today, okay?"

"Not good!!"

This time it was Mu Tang's turn to be anxious, so he refused loudly without thinking about it, pressed Lu Yan angrily, and said seriously:

"You can't not sleep, you can't not sleep, otherwise your body will collapse, didn't you say that you want to stay with me all the time? If you're sick, you won't be able to stay with me all the time!! ”

She said word by word extremely seriously, looking at Lu Yan's eyes focused and persistent, Lu Yan was in a trance for a while, the original teasing in her heart had long disappeared, she raised her hand and wanted to touch her face, but she was afraid that the rough fingertips would scratch her, so she could only put down her hand in the end.

"Tangtang ......" Lu Yan's voice was hoarse and low, and he said solemnly word by word:

"I miss you so much, I've always missed you."

Mu Tang was stunned, the anger on his face all dissipated, and he said in a low voice after a while:

"Me too, and I miss you too."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes, hugged Lu Yan's neck, and his soft and cold lips leaned up and gently stuck to Lu Yan's lips.

Lu Yan held her waist, put the little girl on her lap, hugged her whole into her arms, lowered her head again, and kissed Mu Tang's lips with great dignity.

Reunited after a long absence, the two were close to each other and enjoyed this rare and quiet time.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Tang suddenly opened his eyes, took the lead in separating from Lu Yan, and then patted Lu Yan's shoulder hard, and said seriously:

"Don't distract me!!"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly:

“…… What? ”

Mu Tang became even more angry, puffed out his cheeks, and said in an extremely serious tone:

"You can't sleep without sleeping, you're different from me!!" She looked at Lu Yan's unusually obvious dark circles and became even more angry:

"You've turned into a panda, say, how long haven't you slept?!"

Lu Yan was a little surprised:

"You still know about pandas?!"

"Of course I do!!" Mu Tang nodded definitely:

"I've remembered it all, before I became a zombie, those memories are very complete, and there are no defects!!"

She recalled everything before she became a zombie, no, it shouldn't be a recollection, but she got another Mu Tang's memories before the end of the world!

Her life, her knowledge, all turned into a long scroll of memory, spread out in Mu Tang's mind.

Except for the memories of another Mu Tang's awakening time after the end of the world, she didn't know, everything about the other party, Mu Tang could see it at a glance, and there was no secret between them.

Mu Tang can feel another one of her longing for her father, her thirst for knowledge, her loneliness when she is alone, her helplessness in the strange eyes of others, her sadness after being indifferent to this person, and ......

The numbness and hatred after being used again and again.

These emotions filled her brain when she first woke up, screaming and wailing, making her empathize with the pain of her other self, seeing with her own eyes the torrents crushed to the bottom of the frozen lake, tumbling and rushing, eager to destroy everything.

It's painful, it's painful, Dad, why can't you look back at me?

Why should you celebrate a birthday alone? Why do they always look at me with scared eyes?

Am I a monster? Are you afraid of me? Do you think I'm unforgivable by what I've done?

Father, father, Mu Xu!!

What the hell are you going to do, why are you just standing outside the door and watching?! What is it that is worth using me again and again, pushing me onto the altar again and again, letting those greedy desires, hopeless dreams devour me and tear me to pieces!!

I hate you so much, I hate you so much!!

Why, exactly, and why?!! Why!!!

It's hard to imagine that the girl in my memory who is always unfazed, the girl who is always calm as water, will have such a strong hatred tumbling in her heart!!

This is hatred turned into a fire, almost burning her to the ground, burning all her senses!!

Such strong feelings made Mu Tang have to sleep after waking up to avoid being swallowed by emotion.

Mu Tang, who has gained his memory, clearly realized that when another Mu Tang realized that the virus had spread to the point of no return, his heart was actually happy!!

She hated herself, hated the world, and even wanted to go with the flow and let this catastrophe destroy the entire human civilization.

But in the end, she didn't, she still suppressed the hatred in her heart, and saved it to the greatest extent, so that most of the viruses that had been parasitic on people fell asleep.

Even now, Mu Tang never felt that her other self was an enemy, she regarded her as her own relative as she did when she first learned of the existence of the other party.

If there is a chance to communicate with each other, Mu Tang feels that he will hug each other, and then tell her:

"It's okay, I'll be your family."

It's a pity that the other party has fallen into a deep sleep now.

“…… Mu Tang? Seeing that the little girl who was still puffing up just now suddenly became stunned, Lu Yan called her hesitantly.

Mu Tang came back to his senses and grinned:

"You've changed the subject again." Then he pressed Lu Yan's shoulder and instructed:

"In short, let's take a rest first, people's bodies are very fragile, and you won't be able to stand it if you don't rest."

Lu Yan opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Mu Tang covered his eyes and said softly:

"I know you still have a lot to do, and you can't rest for long, but an hour is still fine, sleep, and I'll wake you up then."

Although the little girl who woke up again was still eccentric, she had become mature in some aspects, and Lu Yan couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

However, he didn't want Mu Tang to worry about him all the time, so he compromised, lay on the bed obediently, and closed his eyes.

But before going to bed, he suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes and hesitated, but said to Mu Tang:

"That one of yours...... Friend, the one named Qi Su, is now locked in a cage outside, do you want to see him? ”

Mu Tang's pupils spoke, and he was silent for a while before he said gloomily:

"I don't want to."
