Chapter 173 Wedding.

"Do you still love me the most after reading this?"

Shu Lan raised the corners of her lips slightly, opened her arms, and said in a clear and firm voice: "Yes! I love my baby the most!"

It's the truth.

Shu Maomao lay down and rolled into her arms. After moving around and finding a comfortable position, he said with satisfaction, "That's about right."

Shu Lan didn't speak for a while. It wasn't because she fell asleep, but because she was digesting her emotions and sorting out her thoughts.

If Shu Maomao had not plundered the memory reading, Shu Lan might never know in her life that what she thought was good luck was that someone had exchanged an infection for more than ten years of life, quietly blocking all the detours she had taken, leaving only a smooth path for her to take.

"You're right, baby, he is indeed a fool."

Now this idiot is in the north, drawing a clear line between zombies and humans, leaving them a piece of pure land where they can deal with natural disasters in peace.

Shu Lan sighed.

"Mom, you've been sighing a lot since you started looking at his memories."

Shu Lan said depressedly: "I can't help it."

She felt sorry for Li Yanli, but she also knew it was best not to restart, as restarting would bring more variables. Given the current progress of the shelter construction in District 9 and the number of people involved, this was the best chance for them to survive until the end of the natural disaster.

Apart from sighing, she couldn't think of any other way to relieve her regret and heartache for Li Yanli, as well as her helplessness in the face of the cruel reality.

The boundary between humans and zombies was the boundary he took the initiative to draw between himself and her.

Ever since he met her under the identity of Anselin, Li Yanli had completely given up on falling in love with her and only wanted her to live alone.

"well……"

Shu Maomao looked up at her, took a deep breath, and sighed like her: "Alas."

Shu Lan covered his mouth: "Don't sigh like me, learn something good."

Shu Maomao pried her hand off and repeated her words: "Don't imitate me sighing. Learn something good."

"Hey! You're still learning."

"Hey, you're still learning."

"Shu Maomao is a little pig."

“…I’m not.”

Shu Lan couldn't help laughing. After she finished laughing, she sighed and shouted with full energy, "Get up!"

No matter how much you dream, no matter how painful the tempering is, as long as you are not dead, you still have to stand up, accept the reality, and live on.

This has always been Shu Lan's belief.

Shu Lan would no longer hide from Li Yanli. No matter which timeline he liked her in, it was always her, and it would be her countless times.

After leaving the space, she put on her headphones and said cheerfully and energetically, "Good morning, Zombie King Sisters!"

Anselin, no, it should be Li Yanli, who still replied to her immediately.

"Good morning."

These three simple words reminded Shu Lan of how calm he was in her dream when he let himself be bitten by zombies. Warm tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was choked by sadness.

Li Yanli seemed to have heard this subtle abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

If he doesn't want her to know, then just follow his plan and pretend that she knows nothing to make it easier for him.

Shu Lan slowly adjusted her breathing and said, "Nothing, I was having breakfast and got scalded by the soy milk. It's raining here today, how about you?"

"It's snowing."

"It's snowing so early! My son loves playing in the snow. Last time, he had a snowball fight with hundreds of people... Maomao! You've already put half a bowl of sugar in the soy milk. Don't think I didn't see it. Don't put any more!"

Li Yanli looked at the heavy snow falling in front of her and listened with a smile as she taught her children to eat less sugar, otherwise they would get cavities.

It's good like this now. Listening to her voice, he feels like they are living under the same roof. He is very content.

Li Yanli said, "He can eat it. His constitution means he won't have any problems eating any amount of sugar, as long as he's not afraid of choking."

"real?"

"Really, you can give him poison and nothing will happen."

Shu Lan complained: "Sister, you can't become a zombie and not speak human language. Who would give poison to a child? I'm not his stepmother."

“Hahahahahaha…”

From then on, Shu Maomao finally gained freedom over sweets, which made him feel a little more favorable towards Li Yanli.

A very small bit, um.

Time passed neither fast nor slow. After the dream, Shu Lan often chatted with Li Yanli, talking about daily life, worries, and Shu Maomao's affairs.

"His teeth have all been replaced, and he has a set of super beautiful teeth. He can even take them to the dental hospital to make an excellent oral demonstration picture."

Shu Maomao raised his head proudly: Of course.

"Speaking of which, have you grown taller again?"

Li Yanli asked, "Me? I think so. I should be about 1.8 meters tall."

Shu Lan was speechless: "Could it be you? Are there railway tracks in your mouth? You're talking nonsense. I'm talking about my son!"

“Hahahahahahaha.”

Shu Maomao stood next to the electric pole where he usually measured his height, asked Shu Lan to draw a line above his head, and then used a tape measure to measure from the ground.

Shu Maomao looked curiously: "Mom, how tall am I?"

"You're 1.41 meters tall, no wonder your trouser legs are a bit too short. Don't wear this suit anymore, you can give it to another child. Uh, it seems there's no child smaller than you."

Shu Maomao said, "Throw it to Big Mouth for recycling and turn it into new clothes."

"Yes, it's not easy to pick up trash, so we have to be frugal."

Li Yanli asked, "He's the youngest child in the base?"

"Well, there's nothing smaller. There are couples, but they don't dare to have children because they're afraid the whole family won't have enough to eat. Speaking of which, if no one has children, I think the human race will become extinct too."

She had just chatted with Li Yanli about this topic for a while when Fang Botao came up to her and said shyly, "Commander~~I have a favor to ask of you."

Shu Lan said, "Let it go."

"After my persistent pursuit, Zhongmei finally agreed to be my girlfriend! I want to move out of the dorm and start a family with her!"

Shu Lan said, "Just let Ji Lan approve the dormitory issue. Is it because there aren't enough houses? Then I'll move two more this afternoon."

"No, no, we have enough house, and Director Ji has agreed. It's just that... I want to go through the formalities of getting married, that is, a wedding, and have you be the witness for Zhongmei and I."

Shu Lan was a little surprised: "Wedding?"

Fang Botao added quickly, "Just keep it simple. I've saved a lot of grain coins, which I can exchange for food. I can treat Ji Xin and the others to a meal and drinks, and then... in short, just go through the motions and liven things up."

Shu Lan's eyes curved up. "Okay, I love lively things the most. Tell me what you want to do?"

Fang Botao glanced at Shu Maomao, who was working on the steelmaking process nearby, and said cautiously, "Could you please use your special powers to make us a pair of wedding rings?"

Shu Maomao worked on the steel with one hand and cracked melon seeds with the other: "If my mom says it's okay, then it's okay."

Fang Botao turned his pleading gaze to Shu Lan, who said, "You have to draw a picture so he knows what it should look like."

This sentence means agreement.

Fang Botao was overjoyed and turned around and ran: "I'll go back and tell Meimei and discuss it with her."
