From then on, the little girl followed the boy around, calling him "brother" this and "brother" that every day, making him unable to extricate himself from her sweet and soft voice.
One day, the boy suddenly asked her, "What's your name?"
"Name?" The little child thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Little baby, and little guy, they all call me that."
"A little baby?" the boy asked, puzzled. "Doesn't she have a name?"
The little child thought for a while and then said in a babyish voice, "I know my mother's name."
"What's your name?"
"I'll write it down for you." The little child picked up a pebble from the ground and wrote it down stroke by stroke.
After a long while, she stopped what she was doing, her chubby little face looking somewhat conflicted.
The boy saw the words on the ground and asked, "Mu Mu?"
"Is this pronounced 'mu'?" the little child asked, eyes shining. "There's another character after it, but I forgot how to write it."
The boy said gently, "Since your mother's surname is Mu, then your surname will also be Mu. You have a sweet smile, so how about I call you Mu Tiantian?"
"Okay, okay, but how do we write 'Mu Tiantian'?"
The boy held her hand and used pebbles to write her name on the ground, stroke by stroke—Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian danced with joy, "I have a name now! So, brother, what's your name?"
"Feng Lin." Feng Lin took her hand again and wrote his name on the ground.
"Feng, Lin." Mu Tiantian repeated it once, and after a while called out sweetly, "Brother Lin."
Feng Lin gently patted her head. "Mmm."
From then on, Mu Tiantian followed Feng Lin every day, calling him "Brother Lin" this and "Brother Lin" that.
Feng Lin didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he liked it very much.
"Brother Lin, what is that long, dark thing? Can you swing on it?"
"That's a high-voltage power line," Feng Lin warned nervously. "You absolutely mustn't touch it."
"profound."
after a while.
"Brother Lin, look, I found something delicious!" Mu Tiantian said with a happy expression, holding a mushroom she had picked up from somewhere.
Feng Lin stared at the colorful mushrooms that were glowing green for a long time in silence before saying seriously, "These mushrooms are poisonous; you must not eat them."
"Poisonous?" Mu Tiantian had no concept of 'poison'. The mushroom smelled delicious, so she took a bite.
"Spit it out quickly." Feng Lin was anxious and hurriedly used his superpower to make her spit out the poisonous mushroom.
The next moment, Mu Tiantian's fair face turned green.
Feng Lin breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a lethal poison.
Mu Tiantian happened to see herself in the full-length mirror in the mall, looking exactly like a little green man.
She hugged Feng Lin in fear, "Brother Lin, who is that person in the mirror?"
“Uh…” Feng Lin didn’t know whether he should tell her or not.
Mu Tiantian discovered that no matter what she did, the person in the mirror copied her.
Suddenly she realized that the little green man in the mirror was herself.
In an instant, her big eyes filled with tears, and large tears fell in a steady stream. Her voice trembled with sobs as she softly murmured, "So ugly..."
Feng Lin panicked when he saw her crying. Apart from the first time he met her when she was scared by the zombies, he had never seen her shed tears again.
Mu Tiantian ran straight out of the mall and went to the riverbank. Just as she was about to dive in to wash, a boy hugged her.
"My little darling, it's only been a few days, how come you've turned into a little green man? And you've grown so tall." The boy exclaimed, looking at Mu Tiantian, who was now up to his shoulder.
He specifically chose a male body that wasn't much older than the little girl, thinking that using a body close to her age would prevent the little girl from being scared.
Only a few days have passed at the World Health Organization. Logically, the baby should have reached the waist of his new body, but now he's already up to his shoulders.
Judging from this, a considerable amount of time must have passed in this world.
"Little baby, I'm so sorry, Seventy has made you suffer so much in this world, it's all been so hard on you."
Mu Tiantian stared at the seventy-year-old man in front of her, who was crying with tears streaming down his face. "Little kid?"
She suddenly remembered the two skeletons. Although she was still scared, at least the boy was good-looking, gentle and pretty, so she wouldn't run away.
"Skull...skull," Mu Tiantian stammered.
Seventy felt uneasy. Every time she was called "little baby," she would be reminded of their skeletal appearance, which frightened her.
"Skull?" Seventy feigned confusion. "What's a skeleton? Little sister, why are you running into the river? It's dangerous. Let me take you home."
Mu Tiantian corrected, "I have an older brother, and I also have a name called Mu Tiantian. You are not my brother."
Seventy's smile froze. "Besides me and Seventeen, who else do you have... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a burning pain in his arm that was holding Mu Tiantian, and Qi Shi quickly let go to extinguish the flames.
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to land, her waist tightened, and she was instantly pulled into Feng Lin's arms.
"Brother Lin." Mu Tiantian smiled happily and hugged his neck.
When Qi Shi saw a stranger holding his baby, his face darkened. "Brother Lin? Is he the brother you're talking about?"
Mu Tiantian nodded, "Brother Lin is so good to me, he's the best person to me."
Upon hearing this, Feng Lin tightened his grip on her arm even more.
"The best?" Seventy objected. "Little kid, have you forgotten who raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you? He's the best to you? You've only known each other for a few days!"
Mu Tiantian counted on her fingers, "One, two, three... Anyway... it's been a long, long time."
Feng Lin raised his hand, and a gun appeared out of thin air in his palm, quickly pointing at Seventy's forehead. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"I am her closest person!" After yelling at Feng Lin, Qi Shi turned to Mu Tiantian, his expression changing so quickly that he coaxed her gently, "Little girl, come home with me."
Mu Tiantian pouted and snorted, "You called me little baby again. You're a skeleton. You're probably trying to trick me into drawing my blood again. I'm not going back."
"Did you hear that? She said she's not going back with you." Feng Lin looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Get out."
Seventy was getting a little anxious, muttering to himself, "I wonder where Seventeen's spaceship is and why he hasn't come over yet. The little one has been kidnapped by someone else."
"Brother Lin, let's go, let's ignore him," Mu Tiantian whispered in Feng Lin's ear.
But Feng Lin didn't move. The gun remained pointed at the boy standing in front of him. He had a gut feeling that if he didn't deal with this mysterious person, he would lose her...

The bureau chief looked at the documents handed to him by his subordinate and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mu Tiantian... a new name?"
The words had barely left her lips when a familiar cry rang in her ears, a loud shout: "I want Rin-nii!"
The director was startled by her voice, covered his ears, and the next moment crossed out the word "sweet" on the document and changed it to "tranquil".
"These two words suit her best."
