Cheng Zhen casually pulled out a chair, sat down, and waved his hand, saying, "You go about your business, I'll sit for a while."
He hadn't slept for a long time, and his body and mind were in a state of extreme exhaustion. The restless factors in his body were more active than ever before, and it seemed that if he didn't suppress them, he would explode at any moment!
The last time I fell asleep was at her house...
Although he didn't know why, his body followed his instincts.
For example, even now, just sitting with his eyes closed, he can clearly feel the irritable factors in his body gradually calming down, relieving his tense nerves, and making him feel much more comfortable.
Jiang Wan received no response. When she turned around, she saw that he was already sitting in the chair, fast asleep.
One can't help but wonder, has this person never slept in his lifetime?
Jiang Wan doesn't like having people around when she's working. Besides, she's already done almost all the research she needed to do, so doing more would just be repeating the same steps. She's always been very confident that she won't make mistakes in her field.
So I simply stopped doing experimental analysis, and just sat by the window, organizing the data and mentally reviewing everything from beginning to end.
As the sun begins to set in the west, the light and shadows entering the room also shift accordingly.
Jiang Wan was thirsty and got up to drink water. The moment she looked up, she became instantly on guard, grabbed the chair she was sitting on and held it in front of her for defense, her heart pounding in her throat.
A person who was asleep in a chair suddenly disappeared!
Was it eaten by a mutated plant?!
Although Cheng Zhen was asleep, he remained very alert.
Almost the instant he sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere around him, he opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was her gripping a chair as if facing a formidable enemy, her eyes glaring at him with fear and wariness.
He instinctively jumped up and turned around to look around, but found nothing.
"What happened?"
Cheng Zhen didn't sense any danger in the room, so he asked her. After stretching his muscles and bones and sleeping for a few hours, he felt completely refreshed!
Jiang Wan was stunned when she saw his body reappear in her field of vision. What was going on? Was she seeing things?
Just now, there was nothing left, only a head...
"What’s wrong with you?"
Cheng Zhen was a little worried when he saw that she looked like she had seen a ghost. He knew that many researchers and scholars went crazy from overworking their brains. Could she be one of them?
He's so young; it would be a shame if he went mad.
"I just thought you'd been eaten by a mutated plant..."
Realizing she had made a misunderstanding, Jiang Wan was quite embarrassed. After all, if he hadn't woken up quickly, the chair she was holding would have smashed into him. So she explained the misunderstanding and then asked him:
"You're a superhuman? Was that your superpower just now?"
Cheng Zhen was also completely confused. In her eyes, his body had just disappeared, leaving only his head?
He shook his head: "No."
Besides, he couldn't possibly unleash his powers while sleeping; he's not a novice.
"Hmm." Jiang Wan nodded, confirming once again that he was perfectly fine. "Then it must be my eyes playing tricks on me."
"Are you too tired? Something was covering me, so you didn't see me clearly for a moment?"
Cheng Zhen casually remarked and walked out. He didn't take the matter to heart. He had a lot of things to do. The city's water system was broken, and they had to repair a pipe as soon as possible to ensure that clean water and sewage were separated!
Jiang Wan was startled by his words, and for a moment, her vision was blocked by something.
She sat back down and looked at the same angle again, but there were no obstacles around; it was completely empty.
Only a few minutes had passed, and the shadow had hardly changed; the sunlight was still there.
She quickly found some things and placed them in the spot where Cheng Zhen had just been sitting, but that feeling of emptiness never returned.
Did she really have a hallucination because her eyes were playing tricks on her?
No, it won't!
Inanimate objects won't work; we haven't even tested it on living people yet!
She immediately went next door, brought the twins over, and had them sit on the chairs together.
But when she returned to her seat, the sunlight had already shifted, and the sun had set.
"Mom, what's wrong? Are we playing a game?"
Jiang Xiaoxin had a good sleep and forgot all the unpleasantness from before. She was carefree and adorable again, thinking that her mother was playing with them, and clapped her hands happily.
Mom rarely has the patience to play with them!
"Hmm, Mom was going to play a game, but now that the sun has gone down, we can't play it."
"Does it have to be sunny?" Jiang Xiaoxin turned to look out the window, a little disappointed that she couldn't play the game, but she quickly came up with an idea. "Then let's play again tomorrow, the sun will be out tomorrow!"
The sweet, innocent voice reached Jiang Wan's ears, and she suddenly realized, "Yes, the sun will shine again tomorrow!"
She, who was usually calm and composed, was now incredibly anxious. Something was in her mind and in her eyes, and the answer was about to be revealed, but she just couldn't find the key point or the solution!
So for the rest of the time, she seemed very impatient and anxious, which frightened the two little ones so much that they became incredibly well-behaved and sensible.
When Mom was cooking, they helped wash the vegetables and rinse the rice. The two little ones argued for a long time about whether it was cleaner to wash the vegetables with plain water or rice water.
After dinner, Mom washed the dishes, and they helped wipe the table. One of them used paper to wipe it, and the other used a rag. They complained to each other that the tools were not good enough and that the table was not clean.
After taking a bath and going to bed, the two little ones lay on either side of their mother. Jiang Xiaoxin hugged her arm and said, "Mommy, don't be angry, okay? My brother and I are very good!"
"Mmm." Jiang Wan closed her eyes, wanting time to pass quickly, and casually brushed her off.
Jiang Xiaoxin was unhappy. Was her mother being so perfunctory because she was going to send them away again?
That won't do; Mom has to know how well they've behaved!
So, she counted on her little fingers: "Mommy, let me tell you, today my brother and I washed the vegetables and wiped the table..."
Before she could even finish counting, she successfully fell asleep, which was even more effective than counting sheep as usual.
Jiang Xiaoshu shook her head and sighed helplessly. Seeing that her mother had no reaction, she resignedly got up, pulled over a thin blanket, and draped it over the two women's stomachs.
Although it was hot, the air conditioning was on inside. In this apocalypse, you can't afford to get sick easily.
The next day, after finally reaching the same time and shadow as the previous afternoon, Jiang Wan immediately picked up the two children and had them sit in the chairs that Cheng Zhen had sat in the previous day.
With a serious expression and without blinking, she backed away step by step back to her seat: "Xin Xin, Xiao Shu, we're playing a game, you absolutely mustn't move!"
Her voice was cold and serious, which frightened the two children, who sat obediently and remained still.
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded before Jiang Wan's eyes—the twins who were sitting together, Jiang Xiaoxin, simply vanished!
