She rubbed her sleepy eyes and took off the plush hat with two ears of her bunny pajamas from her head.

It was too cold in winter, so she was used to sleeping with this nightcap on.

Of course, I have to hold Xiaoyu in my arms before I sleep because she is warm.

When she thought of Ning Yu, Shen Yiyue still felt that the scene yesterday was like a dream. She still had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Ning Yu, but they were all washed away by the joy of reunion.

Turning her head, the warm figure that was leaning next to her last night was now empty.

?

Shen Yiyue felt a chill in her heart, and suddenly felt a sense of fear for no reason: Could this all be just a dream? Did Xiaoyu, who Yueji said would disappear, not actually come back, and was it just that she missed her too much? "Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

"Hey, how long are you going to sleep, you lazy idiot?"

Ning Yu, wearing a kitchen apron, kicked open Shen Yiyue's door without any hesitation.

Her silver hair was tied up to make it easier to cook, and in her hands was a plate of freshly cut ham and runny egg toast, which was emitting a hot and fragrant aroma.

"A little rain."

Shen Yiyue finally realized that she was not dreaming at all, and the inexplicable fear turned into joy.

“Xiaoyu!!!”

She jumped out of the bed and ran towards Ning Yu as if she had met someone after a long separation.

When Ning Yu saw her like this, he smiled helplessly, put the plate on the table next to him, and let her hug him.

He saw Shen Yiyue rubbing against him like a fool, and his hands held her tightly, as if he was unwilling to separate anymore.

"A nightmare?"

Ning Yu asked softly in her ear.

"Yeah, I had a nightmare."

In fact, she didn't have a nightmare, but Shen Yiyue decisively played along. If she didn't lie now, when would she lie? "I'm a little scared."

Shen Yiyue hung on Ning Yu like a koala and acted coquettishly, and then her true colors were finally revealed.

"So if Xiaoyu gives me a loving kiss, maybe I won't be afraid..."

Before she could finish her words, she discovered with embarrassment that Ning Xuan and Shen Qianqian were sitting on the left and right of the dining table in the restaurant outside.

"stare"

"stare"

The two people looked at Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue who were flirting with each other, especially after listening to Shen Yiyue's shameful speech, they all showed an expression of "I'm just passing by to watch the fun, you guys continue."

“Ah, this.”

Shen Yiyue felt her face was burning hot, with a blush rising from her neck.

"Wow, it's a loving kiss!"

Shen Qianqian took the lead and began to imitate her own sister's speech in a sarcastic tone, pouting her mouth exaggeratedly and closing her eyes, as if she was imitating the so-called "kiss of love".

"I want a loving kiss too!!"

"Qianqian, just wait for me! I'm going to give you two punches of my beloved Bang Bang!!"

Shen Yiyue was so angry that she almost died on the spot. She felt so ashamed that she was so excited that she forgot the door was still open.

Turning around, Shen Yiyue hesitated as she looked at Ning Yu who was staring at her innocently.

"Then that Xiaoyu I."

"Bah!"

Ning Yu closed the door with his backhand, stroked the back of Shen Yiyue's head with his hand and hugged her gently.

"Love kiss?"

Ning Yu looked at Shen Yiyue with a teasing look and took the opportunity to mock her mercilessly.

"Smelly Xiaoyu, even you laugh at me!"

Shen Yiyue looked at Ning Yu angrily and tried to turn her head away to hide her shyness, but was pulled back by Ning Yu.

Ning Yu leaned forward, lightly touched Shen Yiyue's lips, and scratched Shen Yiyue's face with her long eyelashes.

"This is the kiss of love you asked for, sir."

She blinked mischievously and looked at Shen Yiyue closely.

"A little rain."

Shen Yiyue was a little dazed and called Ning Yu's name softly.

"I am here."

Ning Yu replied.

"A little rain."

"I am here."

"Little rain~"

"You're a fucking repeater, right?"

Ning Yu finally raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hands and gently pinched Shen Yiyue's face from both sides.

“Hehehe.”

Shen Yiyue smiled foolishly for some reason, buried her head in Ning Yu's arms, and leaned against her.

"I miss you so much."

Ning Yu gently stroked her hair and let her talk.

“I’ll think of you when I see that old piano.”

"I'll think of you when I pick up the gun."

"I think of you even when I change into my pajamas"

“.”

Seeing her resentful and aggrieved look, she didn't show it at all yesterday.

"Okay, I'm right here."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Ning Yu gently stroked her back, feeling Shen Yiyue's emotions.

"I will never let you go again."

Shen Yiyue tightened her grip, and Ning Yu cooperated by pretending to be strangled to death: "If you use more force, I will really be killed by you."

"Hmph, keep pretending."

Shen Yiyue just wouldn't let go, and the two of them stayed together for a long time, completely forgetting that there were two people waiting for them outside for breakfast.

Shen Qianqian covered her head and accused Ning Yu.

"Wuwuwuwuwu, Sister Ning Yu, please take care of her!! She hit me!!"

There were two bumps on her head. It seemed that this was what Shen Yiyue meant by "two punches of love". It was indeed full of love from a sister.

Shen Yiyue glared at Shen Qianqian with a very kind look again, and the child was so scared that she swallowed the rest of her words.

He could only poke his finger and run over to play with Ning Xuan who was playing with the cat over there.

"Let's go, Xiaoyu, let's go out and build a snowman!!"

It snowed all day yesterday, Christmas, and it was already white outside.

Shen Yiyue pulled Ning Yu's sleeve like a little child and was about to walk outside.

Ning Yu naturally had no interest in playing in the snow, but she was interested in staying with Shen Yiyue, so she followed her downstairs.

Shen Qianqian was sneaky, but couldn't resist the playful nature of a child, so she ran downstairs.

"Don't you want to go together?"

Ning Xuan was the only one left in the room, where she was resting with the cat in her arms.

After a while, Ning Yu came back and invited her.

"I"

Ning Xuan was about to refuse, but paused again.

She didn't even live with Shen Yiyue and her sister, but found a place to live alone.

She has never lived in close contact with anyone other than herself. Rather than saying that she is the ultimate social phobia, it is better to say that she simply does not know how to get along with other people.

When I saw someone other than Ning Yu, I didn’t know what to say.

Those false memories still remain in her mind, and now naturally become her most precious treasures, but this does not mean that Ning Xuan has learned to live a normal life.

In a way, fighting was much easier for her than chatting with people and living a normal life.

Ning Yu was very familiar with Ning Xuan's situation.

"Let's go together?"

Ning Yu didn't allow her to refuse. She reached out and held Ning Xuan's cold little hand.

"Okay."

Ning Xuan actually wanted to accompany Ning Yu and talk to her more. She didn’t talk enough yesterday, but she just didn’t know how to express herself.

"Xiaoxuan, will you move in with us?"

Ning Yu spoke as the two of them walked downstairs.

"Eh? Is this really okay? Will it disturb my sister?"

Ning Xuan's gaze drifted towards Shen Yiyue in the distance, her eyes somewhat evasive.

"What's the matter? I finally came back. Are you planning to never have anything to do with me again?"

Ning Yu looked at Ning Xuan anxiously, feeling that her sister seemed to have become silly.

"Oh of course not! That's not what I meant, I just..."

Ning Xuan hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, she missed her sister more than ever.

"Is it really okay for me to be like this? After all, I am just a..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, with blue signals flashing in her eyes.

"Xiao Xuan."

Ning Yu's tone seemed to become a little more serious, which made her even more nervous.

"You are my sister, always have been."

Ning Xuan raised her head and suddenly remembered how Ning Yu decisively chose to save her during the final ceremony.

"I want you to understand one thing."

Ning Yu walked forward, stood in front of Ning Xuan and spoke to her.

"You are worthy of being loved."

“You are our family.”

"Sister Yue thinks so, Qianqian thinks so, and I think so too."

Ning Xuan pursed her lips, as if she had finally untied a knot in her heart. She opened her mouth and closed it again, finally revealing a smile from the bottom of her heart, and nodded seriously:

"good."

There seemed to be no more forcefulness or pretense in this smile.

Ning Yu grabbed her and ran outside quickly, and the two of them ran together in the heavy snow.

"You see, we never played in the snow together when we were little!"

The doomsday has completely ended. The city has suffered extensive destruction, many facilities can no longer be used, and reconstruction work is still slowly progressing.

The previous order has not been restored yet, but people no longer have to live in the survivor bases.

The zombies were effectively controlled by Shen Yiyue using the [Soul Doll - Miss Arrogance] They left the Ark now, but not too far away, because Ji Mengyao and Wu Di were still nearby and would occasionally visit.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and there was only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth.

With the help of several people, Shen Qianqian built a big snowman, and while Shen Yiyue wasn't paying attention, she put a black wig on it.

Then he started beating the snowman hard.

"I'll let you bully me, I'll let you bully me, humph!"

After playing in the snow for a while, the other three seemed a little tired.

Shen Yiyue fell backwards into the snow, her whole body sank into the snow, and she lay there like a corpse.

Ning Yu followed her example and fell down too, landing a little beside her, just enough to fall into her arms.

"Oh, it's the clingy Xiaoyu!"

Shen Yiyue imitated Ning Yu's way of speaking, because Ning Yu always said that she was clingy.

Ning Xuan knelt in the snow, watching the strange conversation between the two people. She just looked at them with an auntie smile without saying a word.

She hoped that time would stop at this moment forever.

"So Xiaoyu, why are you able to come back here?"

Shen Yiyue looked at the sky and asked curiously.

"I understand. You don't want me to come back, so I leave?"

Ning Yu pretended to get up, but Shen Yiyue came up and hugged her and carried her back into the snow.

"Don't run! Humph, I said I will never let you go again."

Shen Yiyue hugged Ning Yu tightly as if she was sleeping with a teddy bear, afraid that she would run away.

"I'm a little curious, too."

Ning Xuan sat closer and pricked up her ears, wanting to hear Ning Yu's explanation.

"In fact, I didn't really go to the root."

Ning Yu raised her head and caught a snowflake with her hand. Looking at the crystal clear symmetry and fractals in it, she marveled at the magic of nature.

"All we need to get to the source is a strong desire."

"But I didn't have that desire, so when the ultimate contract with Tsukihime was finally fulfilled, the root rejected me."

"Originally, I had no choice but to choose me. Obtaining such a terrible weapon would completely burn my soul and turn it into something unknowable."

"But there was a more suitable option."

The snowflake in Ning Yu's hand had already melted under her body temperature, and she went to catch another one.

"Could it be Lacey?"

Ning Xuan thought of another person.

"Well, she was chosen by the Root, I must congratulate her."

Ning Yu clapped her hands disdainfully, with an expression that said, "Whoever wants to win this award can get it."

"Well, why did it take so long for Xiaoyu to come back? You know I thought you would never come back!"

Shen Yiyue pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"But the source didn't let me go."

Ning Yu spread her hands helplessly.

"Tsukihime ran away with Lacey, leaving me with a huge mess. All the world lines we created after going back have started running again."

"There are countless you and me in there, and of course Xiaoxuan."

Ning Yu pointed at Ning Xuan, who blinked her eyes, indicating that she didn't understand at all.

"I'm doing it at my fastest speed. It's not an easy task to correct and converge these world lines."

"You won't let me leave until I finish repairing it. How cruel."

Ning Yu leaned back again, into Shen Yiyue's arms, looking exhausted.

"Wait. Xiaoyu"

Ning Yu suddenly felt that Shen Yiyue's atmosphere behind him was not right, even a little sour? "So, you have also come into contact with countless parallel me."

Shen Yiyue spoke in her ear, her tone sounding a little unfriendly.

"Well"

Ning Yu seemed to sense a sense of crisis.

"Knowing me, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist hugging and kissing Xiaoyu or something, you you you you you you."

Shen Yiyue had turned over and was looking at Ning Yu angrily with fierce eyes.

Ning Yu's face was full of black lines. What was this, "About the time when I was cheated on by my parallel world self"? "Stinky little Yu, I'm just as charming in other worlds, right? Right? It took you so long to come back to find me, humph!!!"

She turned her head away, looking like she was angry and couldn't be comforted.

Ning Yu was just about to open her mouth to explain and defend herself when Shen Yiyue suddenly burst out laughing again.

"Hahahaha, look how scared you are."

She hugged Ning Yu again, and with malicious intent, she stuffed snow into Ning Yu's smooth back, then bit her earlobe and said:

"I'm glad you're back. From now on, you'll be mine alone."

"I will kill you if you dare to be unfaithful, humph."

Ning Yu felt a chill on her back, but the person in front of her was so cute and warm.

"By the way, where is Yue Ji? Where did she go? Did she just disappear into the root?"

Shen Yiyue suddenly remembered the girl who looked exactly like Ning Yu. She had only seen her a few times, basically when Ning Yu transformed.

"She is right here."

Ning Yu raised her hand, and her amber eyes turned into pure and flawless gold.

It seemed as if something was called, and the heavy snow suddenly stopped.

The warm sun, which is rarely seen in winter, suddenly appeared again and sprinkled on the faces of several people.

The snow stopped.
