Chapter 30 It’s not the stars that need to be checked!
If we were to rank all the touching moments in everyone's life, this moment would definitely be ranked first.
Liang Jinyu held her son's little face in her hands, lowered her head and pressed it against his warm forehead, hiding her crying voice and asked in a low voice: "Xingxing, you just called me mom, right?"
For the first time, Xingxing felt the body warmth of humans so close to her in this strange world.
He felt a little awkward because this was the first time he was so close to a human being who was his "mother".
Will she be Xingxing’s mother from now on?
Will she become like that mother of Xingxing, from her beautiful color to gray?
The stars don’t know, but the tears that fell into the human’s eyes were burning, the human’s body was warm and comfortable, and the human…the human seemed to be very, very happy.
Is it just because Xingxing called her mom?
Xingxing didn’t quite understand. Those hot and burning emotions were received by him, but then disappeared lightly.
It seems like there is no trace left.
Qiuqiu squatted on Xingxing's shoulder and found that Xingxing treated his father and mother differently.
Perhaps it was because what he felt in the doomsday was the care of human men, and the only important woman in his life, who was known as Xingxing's mother, turned into the most common gray in the end.
Xingxing was able to quickly accept Zhou Xiangyang, but could not truly respond to Liang Jinyu.
But during the long silence, Xingxing still buried her little body in the arms of her new mother.
It smells fragrant and warm, even more gentle and comfortable than the embrace of her mother that Xingxing had ever imagined.
Liang Jinyu stopped asking questions about the child in her arms. She hugged his back with both hands and hid Xingxing in her arms like a treasure.
Chen Lin was holding her phone and recorded countless screens and took countless photos. At this moment, she put her phone down in silence, raised her eyes, and met Liang Jinyu's gaze with red eyes.
Both of them saw each other's eyes which were as red as rabbits. After looking at each other for a second, they suddenly smiled at each other unconsciously.
It's like the first clear day after the rain, like a flower covered with dewdrops gently blooming.
Like all the beautiful adjectives, they are all concretely descended in this small room at this moment, sprinkling on everyone like stars, making each other's figure stained with a beautiful sparkling starlight.
"I finally feel happy." Liang Jinyu raised the corners of her lips, holding the quiet child in her arms, rocking her body and leaning lightly on Chen Lin's shoulder.
So Chen Lin also tilted her head and rested it on hers, and the two of them childishly swayed slowly left and right on the sofa with Xingxing.
Only the stars were a little dizzy.
Qiuqiu secretly comforted the child: "Baby, when human babies are very young and can't sleep and cry, they are held by their human mothers like this and rocked back and forth, and they fall asleep quickly."
The stars seemed to be thinking: I felt dizzy and fell asleep naturally.
Qiuqiu continued to comfort the child: When human cubs grow up to your age, they will like to ride on rocking cars. Xingxing, you have also ridden on them. You were very happy, right?
Xingxing continued to think: the rocking car rocks back and forth and left and right, while mom and Aunt Linlin rock left and right.
The rocking car can sing, and mom and Aunt Linlin...also make strange noises.
"Look at that kid."
Xingxing turned her head and looked up silently from her mother's arms.
Little Liang Nanxing was lying on the back of the sofa, looking at him with bright eyes.
To be precise, I was looking at the two people who were slowly swaying left and right while holding the star.
Noticing Xingxing's gaze, he tried to reach out his little hand and secretly touched the hair that was swaying behind his mother.
Then he quickly withdrew his hand and looked down at his fingers in surprise and disbelief.
Qiuqiu thought this scene was a bit strange.
"What is he doing, boy?"
The kid didn’t know that he was dizzy from being shaken.
The cub wanted to sleep, so he grabbed his mother's clothes, buried himself in her arms, and fell asleep soundly.
Qiuqiu: “…”
All right.
The ball is sleeping too!
However, while they were sleeping, little Liang Nanxing, who had originally just tried to touch his mother, stared at her fingers for a while and then gradually became bolder.
He ran to the front, rushed over to cover Xingxing's body with his soul body, and then hugged his mother.
"Mom~" The child curled his eyes wordlessly, then rubbed his mother's cheek dependently. His empty soul became even purer and emptier little by little.
He is about to disappear.
No stars are needed to fulfill his wishes.
"Mom, I'm sorry~"
Liang Nanxing plucked up his courage, leaned forward and kissed his mother's red eyes before disappearing.
No tears, that’s great.
Brother Xingxing will love mom more bravely than Liang Nanxing.
Liang Nanxing will no longer be a burden to her mother.
The child shrank back into the safest corner, looking at his mother and brother Xingxing with curved eyes. Those thoughts of self-blame, inferiority and self-loathing finally dissipated along with his body, bit by bit.
In my next life, I don’t want to be a human child anymore.
I want to be a small mushroom growing in the mountains. In my short life, I will be divided into poisonous or non-toxic, edible or not, and I will never be a burden to anyone again.
As his soul body completely disappeared, Xingxing gently opened his eyes.
"Kid, why don't you say goodbye to him?" Qiuqiu felt that Liang Nanxing looked much braver than when he was frightened before. If he just disappeared like that, it would be a shame.
Xingxing shook her head and said softly, "It will scare him."
Wanting to leave all the time for saying goodbye to little Liang Nanxing and his mother, Xingxing even took Qiuqiu with him to hide his soul into space, just to return his body to him. However, this timid Xingxing only dared to hide in the invisible air to express his reluctance and love to his mother.
Just as he said, Liang Nanxing is a timid little mushroom hiding in the mountains.
"Can he be a mushroom?" Xingxing asked curiously.
Qiuqiu thought about it and answered as rigorously as possible: "In theory, as long as Xingxing can successfully complete the mission in this world, then no matter what world he wants to reincarnate into, it can be done."
"But!" Qiuqiu emphasized, "A mushroom has no future. We at the Spacetime Bureau will never allow our clients to become an ordinary, mediocre mushroom."
Xingxing asked sharply, "Big mushroom?"
Qiuqiu snorted and laughed: "No! It's a super-huge mushroom! Maybe it has some special abilities, such as releasing spores to parasitize life forms?"
Star:"……"
This description gives me a familiar feeling.
"That's right! If he must be a mushroom, I don't think he would be a simple autistic and socially anxious mushroom. Maybe he would be a special mushroom in the apocalypse?"
Qiuqiu sighed, "At worst, it would definitely be a mushroom that is so poisonous that it kills people instantly! So, if that kid really wants to be an ordinary mushroom without any special features like Xingxing said, then it will be difficult."
Star:"……"
The child pursed his lips, trying to hold back the upward curve of his lips, but he couldn't hold back the smile in his eyes.
The appearance of the huge mushroom hiding in the corner and shivering completely fits Xingxing’s perception of the little cuties in the doomsday.
Like oversized nets, oversized vines, oversized...
cute!
I want to see the stars.
"Well, then I'll go and communicate with the systems of the Reincarnation Department someday, and secretly ask them about Liang Nanxing's situation after reincarnation!" Qiuqiu actively contributed to Xingxing's little hobby.
"Yeah." Xingxing closed her eyes again.
He was really dizzy. He became clear-headed as soon as he left this body, and felt dizzy as soon as he returned to this body.
-
When Xingxing was sleeping, the two women subconsciously lowered their voices when chatting.
"We will sign the contract tomorrow, and the production crew will come to install the cameras the day after tomorrow. You should try to bring Xingxing to appear in front of the camera then." Chen Lin began to talk about the arrangements for the variety show.
Liang Jinyu nodded: "Okay, can we sign the contract later tomorrow?"
"What?" Chen Lin wondered. Is there anything more important than work now?
Liang Jinyu hugged the child in her arms and said softly, "I just made an appointment for tomorrow morning and will take Xingxing for a checkup."
Chen Lin: "...When did it hang up?"
Why didn’t I see that?!
Liang Jinyu smiled: "Just now, when I was hanging around with you."
Chen Lin: “???”
Oh, woman!
-
After Chen Lin left, Liang Jinyu carefully carried Xingxing back to the bedroom. After gently placing the sleeping child on the bed, she simply brought a stool over and lay down beside the bed, staring at the sleeping Xingxing in a daze.
The child was sleeping soundly, with long, curved eyelashes, a pink and tender face, and even the tiny hairs on his cheeks that had not yet faded were soft and looked particularly cute and tender.
In fact, Liang Jinyu often did this by secretly sitting by her son's bed and watching him after he fell asleep.
But it's strange, all the times before, I have never felt as warm and peaceful as this time.
Maybe it was because after falling asleep today, Xingxing would no longer be awakened by nightmares from time to time, and then scream even louder and shrink into the corner in fear when he saw her.
Or maybe it was because of the hug just now, and the long hug after the stars fell asleep.
Ever since Xingxing grew a little older and his condition became more serious, she rarely had the chance to hold Xingxing, let alone hold him and let him sleep peacefully in her arms for such a long time.
Before today, this was not something Liang Jinyu would ever hope for.
But the beauty that was so out of reach that even her wildest dreams seemed to have suddenly come to her today.
This made her wonder if she had persisted for so long that she finally developed some mental illness.
But even if this was just an illusion, Liang Jinyu didn't want to cure herself at all.
She lay on the edge of the bed, with one side of her face resting on the back of her hand, and raised her other hand to gently touch the child's soft cheek.
Cute, kissable.
Perhaps he sensed that there were people around him, the child who had been sleeping quietly in the bed suddenly began to move his body in a small arc.
Like a little cicada pupa, in the big and wide quilt, with eyes closed, it moved along with the quilt to the bed little by little, then put its head against Liang Jinyu's hands and face which were resting on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully again.
Liang Jinyu: "..."
She didn't dare to move. You can refer to the kitten who tried to get close to humans for the first time after being brought home and snored in the human's arms.
Xingxing is the kitten, and Liang Jinyu is the human being favored by the kitten.
It was clearly just a tiny bit of trust, but in Liang Jinyu's eyes it was as dazzling as the bright moon among the stars.
Qiuqiu looked at this scene and suddenly fell silent.
I've said you can't spoil your children too much!!
As a result, none of them have any principles at all!
Not to mention Hu Xingzhe in Doomsday, he was the doting parent who didn’t even want to let Xingxing walk on the escape.
But in the previous copy, Sunflower's father only had one hand and would hold Xingxing at all times and would not let go. The Cheng family members lined up to take turns holding her. Often throughout the day, the ratio of Xingxing's feet touching the ground was about 10:1!
Look at what bad habits they have brought upon their children!
When I sleep, as long as I feel there is a trustworthy human being around me, even in my dreams, I will subconsciously and unconsciously go to him/her and have to stick close to him/her, I have to stick close to him/her!!!
Qiuqiu angrily condemned every guardian who doted on the stars in the past, without any self-awareness that he was one of them.
Of course, it was really serious in condemning, and did not have any intention of envy or jealousy.
These parents really need to reflect on this, hehe~
-
The stars are sleeping soundly.
Probably because it took time for the soul to merge into the body, he slept from the afternoon until the next morning.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself close to a human head.
Out of some zombie instinct, Xingxing subconsciously opened his mouth, and then, as Qiuqiu stared at him in horror, pretended to close it slowly.
The stars don't want to eat people.
Xingxing just wants to... lick it and taste it.
He had been the zombie king for so long in his previous life, but when he left that world, he hadn't even tasted a human flavor.
The star opened its mouth again, yawned slowly and sleepily, and then, with tears in its eyes after the yawn, it looked hazily at the humans who were so close to it.
"Boy, is she stupid? She has been guarding you all night. The bed is right here, why doesn't she come up and sleep with you?" Qiuqiu couldn't understand. Qiuqiu felt that this human was playing a trick on Xingxing.
One of the tricks: the trick of inflicting pain on oneself.
Look, aren’t the stars really into this now?
The whole cub is almost close to the human's face~
Xingxing tilted her head and took advantage of the time when only she and Qiuqiu were awake to look at this human mother curiously.
Does she know that her baby wants to be a mushroom?
Will you still eat mushrooms after knowing this?
So when Liang Jinyu woke up from her sleep, the first thing she heard when she looked up was the little kid blinking and whispering to her, "Mom, the stars are mushrooms~"
Liang Jinyu's brain was still sleepwalking. Hearing this, he was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and replied instinctively: "Okay, baby, if you are a small mushroom, it must be a very delicious mushroom..."
The stars' eyes gradually widened a little.
Because he heard! The human mother's inner voice! She was actually thinking about how to cook mushrooms to make them the most tender and delicious!
[Cold mushroom salad? No, no, eating it will easily lead to seeing villains lying in coffins.]
[Chicken stewed with mushrooms? No, no, the chicken is too tender or too old, which will affect the deliciousness of the mushrooms.]
[Fried mushrooms? Slurp~ They seem to be both non-toxic and delicious? Hiss… Then let’s fry the mushrooms. I’ll heat up the oil in a wok and pour the mushrooms——]
"Mom!" The rapid, tender voice of a child instantly awakened her brain that was filled with mushrooms.
Liang Jinyu woke up in a daze, looked at the stars, and asked slowly: "Baby, were you calling me just now?"
Star:"……"
The child, who already had many ways of eating stars in her mother's head, pursed her lips unhappily and stared at her sullenly. When she was confused, she whispered back, "Mom, stars are not delicious."
Qiuqiu: “Poof!”
Who would have thought that one day I would hear such an outrageous sentence from the mouth of a zombie cub.
It suddenly felt that by following this guardian, Xingxing would no longer become a spoiled child.
This mother appears gentle on the surface, but is actually very powerful!
He is good at fighting, good at work, and even good at controlling the appetite of stars!!
After all, this is the first guardian who treats stars as food, and Qiuqiu is very optimistic about her!
Compared to Qiuqiu who was watching the fun, Xingxing, as the cub involved, lowered his head sullenly as his mother's expression gradually became aware of the truth and she became guilty and embarrassed. He didn't want to face the outside world for the time being.
Little Liang Nanxing has a great dream, which is to go to a deep mountain where there is no human disturbance and become a little mushroom that no one discovers.
As long as they are not found by humans, they will not be eaten.
Humans are really strange, they dare to eat everything.
Xingxing once again felt that the diet of fellow zombies was too monotonous compared to that of humans.
"Baby, Mom didn't mean it just now."
The poop-scooper who did something wrong came close to the kitten she gave birth to and coaxed it in a soft voice: "Mom just had a strange dream. I dreamed that the stars turned into small mushrooms. There were many other small mushrooms next to the stars. Mom thought, how come this most beautiful little mushroom looks so much like my precious star? I must pick it and put it in my basket, take it home, find an equally beautiful small flowerpot to plant it in, and hide it from anyone. Only I can talk to this little mushroom every day, and only I can watch over the little mushroom and accompany it as it grows up."
"Then I watched it grow and grow. After a long time, this little mushroom suddenly grew up overnight and turned into a very cute and beautiful big mushroom."
"Because my little mushroom suddenly grew so big that my mother's house couldn't hold it anymore. The beautiful little flowerpot where it was planted also cracked and broke. It became very difficult to hide it. So my mother was very worried, afraid that someone would find my beautiful mushroom and steal it. So I watched over it every day and was wary of every passerby, thinking that anyone looked like a bad guy who wanted to steal my little mushroom."
"I thought of many ways to turn the star back into a small mushroom, but no matter how hard I tried, the star just didn't want to turn back into a small mushroom. Mom got a little angry, put her hands on her hips and threatened the big star mushroom, saying to it: Hurry up and turn back into a small mushroom, or I'll eat you!"
"Then the big star mushroom was frightened by me, and shrank into a small ball, calling my mother in fear. Then I realized that, ah...it turned out that my big mushroom and small mushroom were not mushrooms, but my precious stars!"
Although Liang Jinyu's singing is terrible, she is able to become a famous actress because her line delivery skills are not bad at all.
So she described it vividly and Xingxing listened attentively.
Only Qiuqiu, as an individual that does not exist in the story, as a system independent of this small family and connected only to the stars, began to scan the physical and mental state of the human woman named Liang Jinyu in doubt when it was halfway through listening to the story.
The final result was exactly as it had expected. Liang Jinyu's condition had become very serious.
Severe depression, accompanied by severe anxiety, has a tendency to turn into bipolar disorder.
As her story tonight shows, her cognition is gradually being distorted by her illness.
In the story, she is the one who takes the star home after taking it off, corresponding to the birth of the star.
The beautiful little flower pot is the family where Xingxing is born.
She waited for Xingxing for a very long time before she finally saw him grow up. From then on, Liang Jinyu's cognition began to become strange.
Humans always say that reality and dreams are opposites. Qiuqiu doesn’t know whether this is the dream Liang Jinyu really had just now, but this "dream" completely distorts reality and truth.
She tried desperately to hide the stars, but in fact, Liang Nanxing completely isolated herself from the outside world.
She was very wary of everyone who passed by. In fact, no one would notice Liang Nanxing's existence except her.
When Xingxing grew up, he broke the beautiful little flowerpot. No, it was the broken flowerpot that caused Liang Nanxing, the little mushroom, to suffer more serious damage.
She thought of many ways to turn Liang Nanxing from a big mushroom into a small mushroom.
But the reality is that she thought of many, many ways to make the stars respond to the outside world.
She threatened the big mushroom in her dream to turn into a small mushroom...
Comparing with the reality, Qiuqiu felt that Liang Jinyu’s current situation was even more dangerous.
When I went to the hospital today, the one who needed to be checked the most was not Xingxing! It was her, the one who looked the most normal, the strongest, and the most positive!
Qiuqiu suddenly understood why the last time the fast-travel bureau gave Xingxing a sunflower father who lost one hand, but this time gave Xingxing a human mother who looked positive and full of positive energy, and had no problems at all except for being teased by fate.
That's not the case at all!
From the beginning, all of them, including the system and Liang Nanxing himself, were deceived by Liang Jinyu's state! They were deceived by the so-called plot!
Her problems didn't start after the variety show, and she didn't explode after Liang Nanxing was splashed with sulfuric acid!
She is now completely a time bomb, and the time in the plot is the countdown before this bomb explodes!
The most terrifying thing is that, as the bomb itself, Liang Jinyu has no idea of her own situation. She is still living positively, still loving the stars with all her heart, and still thinking about making a beautiful comeback!
Qiuqiu looked at this human who smiled particularly gently after telling a story to coax Xingxing, and suddenly understood what it meant to be chilled.
She is the center of the mission. Even if Qiuqiu knows that she has a problem, it is impossible for him to buy a bottle of special medicine on credit to cure her disease overnight.
Qiuqiu could only warn Xingxing in a low voice: "Baby, do you think your mother's dream story seems a little strange?"
Unexpectedly, the star also answered it softly: "Well, Mom was sick in her dream, and only the little mushroom can cure her."
