Chapter 547 The floodgates of memory burst open.
Without any tools, Lu Nange rolled up her sleeves, revealing her two slender arms, and without saying a word, she started digging with her bare hands!
The soil is soft and moist, carrying a refreshing and invigorating aroma.
After digging a small hole, she buried the seed, walked quickly to the edge of the pond, scooped up a handful of spring water with both hands, and poured it onto the soil.
After walking back and forth five or six times, Lu Nange clapped her hands: "Done! Is this all you need to do?"
"Of course!" Youyou said smugly, drawing out the last syllable: "The system that manages the small world of cultivation personally guarantees: anything can survive this way, and it grows incredibly fast!"
As the system was speaking, the soil she had just smoothed out rippled slightly upwards.
Then, another one!
Puff... Puff.
The movement sounded just like some little creature was secretly stretching under the quilt, gently nudging the quilt with its toes.
Lu Nange immediately squatted down: "It...reacted?"
She reached out and poked the slightly raised mound of earth: "No wonder it was taken from the cultivation world, the speed at which it works... it's something else!"
"Hehe, of course!" The ball of light approached the ground, exuding a boastful air.
"Nan Nan, you have no idea, while you were struggling to fight zombies and complete your mission, I took advantage of the situation."
I begged and pleaded, coaxed and tricked that cultivation system for countless days before I finally managed to get it...
Just as this person and his system were staring at the restless mound, inside a whimsical children's room at the Lu family villa...
"Hmm..."
A little boy, about six or seven years old, with his hair sticking up in the air from sleeping, rubbed his sleepy eyes and groggily got out of bed.
With his head full of tufts of hair sticking up, he shuffled off the bed and slipped on his slippers.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Footsteps echoed in the room. The boy went into the bathroom, slowly finished washing up, and then walked down to the dining room.
Aunt Xu, the maid who was busy going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table, saw him as soon as she looked up.
A smile immediately spread across his face: "Young Master, breakfast will be ready soon. Please sit down and wait a moment."
The little boy didn't say anything, but with his short legs, he climbed onto his special high chair by himself.
He sat upright with his hands on his knees, gazing at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
In Lu Nange's space, the seed that was planted made a soft "pop".
Finally, it broke through the last bit of spiritual soil and sprouted a tender, almost transparent, jade-like bud.
At the same moment, under her gaze, he trembled slightly...
In the restaurant, the little boy sitting quietly and obediently at the table, like a doll, suddenly changed his expression!
The initial confusion and childlike innocence faded away, replaced by a ruthlessness that was completely out of place for his age!
His once clear eyes quickly swept over everything around him, both familiar and unfamiliar.
gleaming tableware, the fragrant breakfast, Aunt Xu's silhouette, the tranquil garden outside the window...
"This is...my home?"
Before the apocalypse, what was that home that had long been crushed into the dust of memory?
"Where...where is my sister?"
These three words were almost blurted out.
Aunt Xu, who was carrying a bowl of warmed milk, happened to hear the question and replied with a smile, "Miss hasn't gotten up yet; she's resting in her room..."
Before she could finish speaking—"Bang!"
The little boy suddenly jumped off the chair!
The chair crashed to the ground with a loud bang!
He didn't even care about the slipper that had been kicked away.
Barefoot, her feet clattered on the floor, and her small body raced towards the stairs without looking back!
"Sister!" A childish yet powerful cry, filled with panic, rushed upstairs...
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The urgent, almost pounding sound of the door echoed down the corridor, accompanied by Lu Beiye's tearful cries.
Lu Nange, who had just emerged from the space, felt her heart pounding wildly at the commotion.
She flung open the door, and a small figure burst into her arms, hugging her leg!
Lu Beiye raised his head, his face pale and his eyes red.
He just stared at her without blinking: "Sister...Sister..."
With just that one sound, all the panic, loneliness, and uncertainty... were stuck in his throat.
Lu Nange felt a pang of sadness and immediately squatted down, cupping her younger brother's face in her hands so that her gaze was level with his.
"Aye, it's me."
A glance, a stare.
No further words are needed.
Lu Beiye's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, fell back to its steady state with a "thud".
That deep-seated trust and tacit understanding, forged through shared trials and tribulations, instantly returned.
"elder sister..."
Tears streamed down Lu Beiye's face. He used all his strength to hug her neck, burying his wet little face in the crook of her shoulder, his voice muffled.
"I thought... I'd have to start all over again all by myself..."
The fear in that voice made Lu Nange's heart clench.
She tightened her arms and hugged the small body in her arms.
"No, it won't happen again. My sister will always be with us, A-Ye."
In her mind: [Yes! Ah Ye remembers too! He hasn't lost his memory!]
The ball of light hovered around the two siblings, and a voice rang out in Lu Nange's consciousness, carrying a sense of elation and smugness that "finally, this moment has come."
[Nannan! This is because the branches have sprouted new buds...]
"What do you mean?" Lu Nange didn't react for a moment and subconsciously asked.
Lu Beiye, nestled in her arms, looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and asked in a nasal voice, "Sister, what did you say?"
"I said..." Lu Nange was about to explain when an alarm went off in her mind!
[WARNING! WARNING! Disclosing system-related information, directly or indirectly, in any form is strictly prohibited!]
[knew...]
Her gaze fell on Lu Beiye's bare feet: "Is everything alright? Why did you run out without even wearing shoes?"
Lu Beiye: "I'm in a hurry... to find you!"
Lu Nange's heart softened, and she bent down to pick him up, but with a sudden effort, she pulled him up.
[Huh? Why is it so heavy?]
She placed Lu Beiye on the sofa in her room and gently patted his back: "Wait patiently on the sofa, I'll go get you your slippers!"
She turned and walked toward the room, her steps unwavering, but her mind was racing with questions: "Youyou, what did you mean when you said the branches had sprouted?"
Also, wasn't the "power pill" supposed to be permanent? Why did they take it back?
Youyou: [Nannan, what you see is what you get, hehe!]
As for the buds sprouting... those who shared the leaves and branches will have their complete memories of the apocalypse awakened as the buds sprout!
This is the surprise I negotiated with the main system for you! How about it, Nan Nan? Isn't this 'reunion' gift thrilling enough? Isn't it tear-jerking enough?
Almost at the same moment...
In Ning City, at the breakfast table bathed in the gentle morning light, Wen Qing, who was carefully feeding her daughter porridge, suddenly froze with her hand holding the spoon, and then began to tremble violently.
The next second, she pulled her bewildered daughter into her arms, hot tears streaming down her face, her voice broken and shattered: "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
It's because Mom is useless, it's because Mom didn't protect you well...
The little girl, feeling a bit lost in the hug, reached out her soft little hands and clumsily wiped away her mother's tears, comforting her in a childish voice, "Mommy, don't cry..."
In Quzhou, at a bustling breakfast stall, Luo Xingyou, who was listening to her older sister chatter about everyday matters, suddenly dropped her chopsticks onto the greasy table with a "clatter."
She suddenly looked up at the familiar yet "unfamiliar" face opposite her, a vibrant one, and her vision was instantly overwhelmed by a torrent of tears.
“Sister…” She choked up, gripping her sister’s hand so tightly that her knuckles turned white, as if afraid that if she let go, the person in front of her would disappear again.
Beijing, a bustling metropolis, with different locations...
Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, Shi Xu, He Zhuo, Ji Xian, Gu Qi, Gu Wan, Chi Yi, Old Master Chi, Sang Xu, Sang Che, Sang Yan...
At this moment, the floodgates of memory burst open!
