If 888 didn't really care, he wouldn't have said these things to Lan Shuang. After all, they were just the relationship between the system and the host. Once the mission was over, they might never see each other again in this life. Most of the relationships between hosts and systems were like disposable items, which were thrown away after use.
But 888 felt that Lan Shuang was different. He didn’t know where his confidence came from, but he believed in Lan Shuang.
After hearing this, Lan Shuang was silent for a while. She didn't try to fool around with it, nor did she take it lightly.
She gave 888 some thoughtful feedback.
888 waited silently.
Mu Yan braked and stopped the car in the garage of the old campus. He turned off the engine, took out the key, unbuckled his seat belt, and looked at Lan Shuang, "Let's go home."
Lan Shuang nodded. After getting on the elevator, she looked at the slowly closing elevator door and said to 888, "Xiao Baba, thank you. I know you're really doing this for my own good, and I believe you understand me very well. I considered these issues when I decided to be with him. This is also why I don't want to seal my memories in every life."
888 suddenly realized: "So you have been preparing so early?"
Lan Shuang looked at her reflection in the elevator door, moved closer to Mu Yan, and quietly held her hand.
Mu Yan lowered his eyes in confusion, indulged her and even took the initiative to insert his fingers into hers, holding their fingers tightly.
Lan Shuang's mouth corners curled up uncontrollably. They didn't look at each other, but they were feeling each other.
"It's rare to meet someone you like, but if you want to love someone for the rest of your life, of course you have to make plans early."
888 was speechless. He looked at the two people's clasped hands through the screen. Although their current appearance did not seem to be a good match, their eyes were gentle and warm, with a faint smile.
An idea flashed through his mind, and he suddenly pressed the screenshot button on his keyboard to capture this scene.
After saving the picture, he said to Lan Shuang, "Okay, if you've made up your mind, I'll have no problem. I'll go back to headquarters first and will be back soon."
"Go ahead." Lan Shuang waited for a while, and then felt that 888 should have left. She couldn't help but call out, "Little 888?"
No one responded.
"888, are you still there?"
There was silence.
Lan Shuang turned to look at Mu Yan: "The little system has gone back to report. Are you really okay?"
"Since you haven't said anything, I know you're communicating with the system." Mu Yan stroked Lan Shuang's hair with his other hand and whispered, "It's okay, they won't care. Let your little system ask. That way, he can rest assured."
The elevator door opened, and Mu Yan pulled Lan Shuang out, saying softly, "Anyway, everyone in the Administration should know about it by now, except him."
Lan Shuang: “…”
What a miserable system.
…
Mu Yan took out the key and opened the door. The moment he opened it, a rich and delicious aroma wafted into the room. Lan Shuang quickly let go of Mu Yan's hand and stood at the door, calling out, "Mom?"
No one agreed. Lan Shuang turned around in confusion, "Did you do that?"
Mu Yan shook his head: "I'm out for a social event today and don't have time to cook."
He lowered his eyes and pointed to a pair of messy slippers on the ground and said, "My mother should have come back to do it, but she left again because of something urgent."
Lan Shuang turned around and took two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack. After changing into them, they entered the room one after the other.
She ran straight to the kitchen. Mu Yan smiled and put her shoes in order, put her schoolbag on the sofa, and hung up her suit jacket. Then he walked in slowly while rolling up his shirt sleeves.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah, I'm very hungry." Lan Shuang came out from the kitchen, carrying out the dishes. "Mom made such a sumptuous meal, four dishes and a soup, and the portions were very generous. The aroma just now was the smell of spicy chicken."
After washing his hands, Mu Yan helped her carry the bowl and chopsticks to serve the rice.
"Then let's eat first and talk later."
"good."
The two of them sat at the table and ate quietly. The meal at the business banquet was not enough to fill them up, so they could only drink a belly full of wine, which was filled with all the worldly wisdom. After the water was drained out, their stomachs felt empty.
After eating the hot meal, I felt like I was alive again.
However, after taking a few bites, Lan Shuang suddenly paused, picked up some vegetables to eat, and put down her chopsticks when she had almost finished.
Mu Yan looked at her doubtfully: "Aren't you hungry? Why did you only eat this little?"
Lan Shuang touched her stomach and sighed: "I'm really hungry, but I can't eat too much. I want to lose weight."
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows and realized: "Is this your mission this time?"
"Well, the mission is one thing, and being too fat and unhealthy is another." Lan Shuang pinched the thick flesh on her arms and said sadly, "Honestly, I didn't know what it was like to be fat before. Now I know, it really becomes a burden to move."
Mu Yan glanced at her arm and nodded: "It's true that you should lose weight, but there's no need to rush. Take it slow. Your health is more important."
"So I only eat until I'm 60% full. My base weight is large, so there are many restrictions on exercise. I eat less at first and control my calorie intake. I can start exercising when my appetite is smaller."
Lan Shuang did what she said. She took out her mobile phone and downloaded a sports app. She skillfully found several exercises suitable for people with a large weight base and added them to her favorites.
Mu Yan watched from the side and took a bite of rice. "I will supervise you."
"OK."
…
After dinner, Mu Yan went to wash the dishes and pots, while Lan Shuang walked around several rooms to check out the environment.
Although this is an old house, it is not small, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The furniture and appliances are very old, the wallpaper is yellowed, and it looks a bit dated.
Her mother's room is opposite, next to the bathroom, and her bedroom is next to her brother's. Her room is on the sunny side and has a bay window, which provides good lighting and is very warm. Of course, it is still a bit hot in the summer, so there is a small fan next to the bed.
There is a desk in the corner, with a thick stack of books on it. They were all brought by the original owner when he moved, but they have never been opened since they were brought back.
Now there is a thin layer of dust on it.
She sat down at the table, took out a knife and cut the outer paper, revealing the book inside. She flipped through it casually and found a diary at the bottom.
She raised her eyebrows, took it out and opened it, "Dad was in a car accident, my world seems to have collapsed..."
Lan Shuang was stunned. "This diary starts directly after the car accident?"
She read it carefully and soon immersed herself in the original owner's emotions, not even noticing when Mu Yan came in.
She didn't come back to her senses until a cherry was fed to her mouth.
"elder brother……"
She looked at Mu Yan with red eyes, which made Mu Yan's heart tighten. He raised his hand and scratched her eyes with his thumb, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
He squatted down beside the table, took a closer look, and read out the contents of the diary, "...What's the point of living like this? I'm really annoyed. I dare not look in the mirror. It's not me in there, it's a monster!"
Lan Shuang closed the diary and put it in the drawer: "I won't read it anymore. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
