When Bai Zhu woke up, he was barely refreshed, except that his shoulder still hurt badly.

The morning light shines faintly through the curtains.

The weather was good today. Bai Zhu was hazy in consciousness. He closed his eyes again and woke up completely.

The bed quilt beside me has been folded.

No matter how late Avril sleeps, she always gets up in the morning to do morning exercises. She is a true genius, but she is never proud of it and works harder than ordinary people.

squeak--

The door was pushed open, and Avril came in quietly, with a white soft towel on her shoulders and wearing dance clothes.

Seeing Bai Shu sitting up, he relaxed his expression, returned to normal range of motion, and smiled:

"Good morning, Xiaoshu. Does the wound still hurt?"

"It's nothing serious. Just recover as long as you can. Don't worry." Bai Shu propped himself up, moved his shoulders slightly, and let out a breath, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Avril opened the curtains to let in the warm morning light. She sprayed water on the blue cornflowers on the windowsill and carefully moved the vase to the balcony. The water droplets on the petals shone brightly in the light.

This is indeed very rare good weather.

Bai Shu leaned against the bed, and his mood became lighter. He didn't know if it was because he completed the most critical step last night, but now he felt comfortable with everything he looked at.

Avril put the towel aside and took down the schoolbag that she had picked up and put on the table this morning:

"Can I open it?"

"Open it, there are dirty clothes inside, don't let it get to you."

Avril opened the zipper, and the smell of blood mixed with disinfectant alcohol hit her nose. She couldn't help but tighten her lips, feeling a little distressed.

But Avril still didn't ask any more questions. She didn't take the initiative to explore since Bai Shu didn't tell her.

Everyone has secrets.

She also has a secret, and good friends should know how to measure things.

"Do you need any medicine?"

Avril took out the medical kit prepared by the medic. When Bai Shu nodded, she opened the lid and took out a new bandage and gauze. Bai Shu turned sideways and took off his shirt, taking the initiative to remove the bandage so that Avril could apply the medicine and bandage.

"The wound is so deep..."

Avril dipped a cotton swab into the medicine and applied it on it. The moment the cold ointment touched the wound, Bai Shu couldn't hold it back. He shrank his shoulders forward and quickly restrained himself.

"Does it hurt?"

Avril Lavigne has asked this question many times, and Bai Shu has no choice but to answer:

"It doesn't really hurt, just a little cold."

The worst pain has passed. I didn't even complain about the pain at that time, and I can bear it now.

"Do you have to do something dangerous?" Avril pursed her lips and her eyes turned red.

Baizhu heard something was wrong in her voice. Avril's mind was more delicate than anyone she had ever seen, and she was more empathic with the outside world.

"Does Avril have to go dancing?" Bai Shu said patiently and softly, "Some moves are dangerous without protection."

It's dangerous, but you must go.

People are willing to give everything for the things they love.

Avril silently helped Baizhu bandage the wound, her forehead gently touched the side of the wound, and her voice was very soft:

"I know, I'll help you."

"Okay, thank you."

Bai Shu just smiled and waited until the bandage was wrapped around him before taking over and tying the knot himself.

"Go take a bath, and we'll buy breakfast later." Baizhu touched Avril's head, "Do you still want to practice dancing? I can stay with you all day today. I haven't eaten the egg tarts you learned to make yesterday. "

"I'll cook it for you again today!" Avril agreed without hesitation, "Brother Liu also said that my cooking is delicious, you will definitely like it!"

"Really? Then I'm really lucky."

Bai Zhu nodded, and after Avril left, he took out the broken and bloody clothes from the shoulder bag, threw it into the bathroom and burned it, then took out the map given by the equipment store owner from the compartment of the shoulder bag and put it away, and finally put the location of the shoulder bag recovery.

She still smells of blood, but she can't get wet yet.

Bai Zhu put on a new set of clothes, threw the clothes he was wearing into the bathtub, poured in laundry detergent and soaked them.

"My clothes are costing me more and more. Why don't I remember that the clothes I bought are disposable?"

Bai Shu thought helplessly, got dressed and walked from the balcony to Avril's room.

This is the first time she has entered the little girl's room. The wallpaper is warm light pink, with posters of various dancing dancers. In addition to various literary books, there are dance teaching videos on the bookshelf.

The floor at the foot of the bed is covered with a soft blanket, and various bear plush toys are happily leaning together. On the bed is the rag doll that Baizhu bought, and it is thoughtfully covered with a small blanket. There are various origami paper hanging above the bed. Thousand paper cranes.

There were many photos posted on the wall, and Bai Zhu took a closer look.

Basically, they are all snapshots of Avril Lavigne performing on stage or practicing dance, marked with the date and the name of the photographer [Ning Zhi]. The photographer's emotions can be seen in the lens, and every picture shows great love and appreciation, and even pride.

Ning Zhi loves Avril very much, she is the treasure of this family.

The one placed in the middle seemed to last the longest. Bai Zhu took off the magnetic needle and held it in his hand.

The background of the stage is the radiance of the galaxy. Avril is leaping in the air in a gauze white dress, with white plush antlers on her head. Her light and agile posture is frozen. At this moment, even the haze of the stage where the light is not illuminated becomes beautiful.

There is writing on the back of the photo.

[Remember, this is Weiwei’s first time competing on stage. 】

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Bai Zhu returned the photos to their original positions.

Avril came out wrapped in a bath towel and wiping her hair. When she saw Bai Shu, she raised her head and smiled: "Does my room look good?"

"nice."

Bai Zhu motioned to Avril to sit on the side of the bed and connected the hair dryer on the bedside to help her dry her hair.

"Let's go to the flower shop to buy flowers later."

Avril hugged the doll, tilted her head slightly, and suggested enthusiastically, "There is a flower shop at the end of the street, owned by Mrs. Lin. We can also go directly to her flower garden to choose flowers."

"You can go if you like." Baizhu lifted her hair and dried it carefully with his eyes lowered. "After breakfast, we will go choose flowers."



"These flowers just bloomed this morning. I didn't expect that the first customer would be our Weiwei." The woman wearing a sun hat smiled and said, "Pick whatever you want, and my aunt will give it to you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin."

Avril weighed her feet to choose, and her eyes suddenly focused on a small area in the center of the flower garden, which was the best place: "That blue flower doesn't look like cornflowers, what kind of flower is it?"

"Ah, those are blue roses. They just bloomed in May. They haven't been raised for the past two years. This is the first batch."

Mrs. Lin took Avril into the flower garden, bent down and carefully picked one and handed it to her:

"Blue roses are a very special existence among rose varieties. They are precious and rare. They are a miracle."

The light blue rose is stained with dew and falls on the palm of the hand.

"The meaning is really good. I like blue."

Avril held the flowers in front of her and trotted towards Baizhu, who was waiting in front of the flower bed. The wind blew her hair. She was the elf in the light and flowers. "Are their eyes particularly similar to yours, Xiao Shu?"

"I……"

"Woof woof woof!"

Before Bai Zhu could speak, a long-haired yellow dog jumped up outside the flower garden, put his hands on the fence, stuck out his tongue in a friendly manner at the humans in the flower garden, waggled his tail and barked twice.

"Ah, it's rhubarb!"

Mrs. Lin did not allow Rhubarb to come in and step on the flowers, but it still persisted in sniffing the flowers, trying to taste the taste. Avril bought a bunch of blue roses and a bunch of cornflowers to bring to Ning Zhi.

Bai Zhu helped her hold the blue rose and waited for her to say goodbye to Mrs. Lin.

The morning sunshine carries the fragrance of flowers and plants. Avril hums a song and walks beside Baizhu. Rhubarb follows behind her, wagging its tail, and curiously rubs Baizhu's legs from time to time.

Bai Zhu freed up a hand and rubbed Dahuang's dog's head vigorously. It was warm and soft, and the vigorous vitality could be clearly felt just by touching it.

In May, even aliens are engaged in the intercourse of life. There is no end in sight for the flowers in the flowerbed, and they are soft when the wind blows. It seems that every life, every cell, and even the dust jumping in the sun is writing the story of the entire world. Gentle and vitality, when you gaze at all this, you also see the future and the outline of life.

Bai Shu relaxed his nerves and followed Avril Lavigne dancing with flowers, through the dusty and soft soil flower garden path, into the noisy neighborhood of concrete low-rise buildings, and then to the silent and barbaric red light district.

In Dis Bar, there were hunters taking a break after stopping their mission. Ning Zhi distributed the cornflowers she bought to the men and women drinking. A strong man with a red face from drinking pinned the flowers to his ears and stood up amidst the laughter of everyone:

"Hey! I heard from my wife that this flower means 'encountering happiness and light'. You said that this flower is blooming so vigorously this year. Is it a celebration that we have survived another cold winter and that this year will be safe and smooth?"

"You're right!"

"Cheers! Cheers to tomorrow and the future!"

The hunter raised the glass filled with strong liquor and toasted to the light above his head. Baizhu poured a glass of juice, raised his hand and touched Avril lightly, the juice swayed and shimmered with light.

The bracelet vibrates.

Bai Zhu put down his cup and walked out of the bar, answering Bai Lingyu's call.

"Good news for you."

Bai Lingyu took the paper report and walked out while nodding to the survey station staff passing by. He stopped in the corridor and looked at himself in the corridor window glass. He was not tired at all from staying up late for the operation, but was indescribable. Relax:

"The test reports are out, very detailed and powerful. I have sent them to the commanders in other areas of the Second City, and each base has arranged operations.

"The parliament will hold a military meeting tonight, and the evacuation plan is finalized. The day after tomorrow, we can start moving residents to the isolation zone between the first and second cities. The first city has also arranged to assist in the operation and transport supplies to the retreat point of the second city."

"Yeah?"

Bai Shu leaned against the door, lowered his eyes and looked at the big yellow dog lying at his feet, and couldn't help but curl his lips:

"That's really good news."

The safety period record of the second city is half a month. Now it is only one week before the second full moon. A large number of people will be able to be transferred before the outbreak. The rest will be transferred before the fall. The task can basically be completed.

"Xiao Shu, why are you out?"

Avril opened the door, and the cat peeked its head furtively.

"Nothing," Bai Shu hung up the call first and picked up the bracelet, "Aren't you going to play anymore?"

"Because Sister Ning said she would take us to take a family photo!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Zhi, who was on the phone, walked out: "Well, okay, you two can just change your clothes at home and come over. We just have cameras at home to take pictures... Yes, come to the bar to take pictures, we have everything here family."

Family photo...

Bai Zhu paused.

The only thing she could call a family photo was her graduation photo from the military academy, and a photo with Bai Lingyu when she was a child.

It is better to leave as little image data as possible.

Baizhu thought this, and it wasn't until Fatty Liu reminded her to smile, until Feng Jinyun touched her head, and until there were people behind her who were joining in the fun and looking at the camera, or hunters holding cornflowers, that she gave up looking for excuses. Still holding the bouquet of blue roses.

Ning Zhi adjusted the countdown and ran back to the C position of the crowd, turning around to urge:

"Everyone smile and look at the camera! Make me happy, and get over the one who wants to hit someone with a wine bottle later!"

Click!

The camera flashed, and all the joy and laughter were frozen, turning into a photo in the frame.

[On May 11, 2020, Red Moon, Dis Bar, family photo]

Baizhu changed into pajamas, and Avril, who had finished dancing, was sitting on the bed, folding paper cranes and pasting them on the photo frame. It was a photo of the five members of their family alone.

In the afternoon, Ning Zhi developed the photos and gave each person a copy.

"It's so good." Avril swung her legs and lay back on Baizhu's bed with her family portrait in her arms. She rolled around happily for several times. "It's so good today. It's the first time that Xiao Shu has stayed with me for a whole day."

Bai Zhu put the photo frame away, and just as he was about to say something, the wind started blowing outside.

"Is the wind blowing?" Avril sat up. "The cornflowers and blue roses are outside and have not been brought in."

"I'll get it."

Bai Shu stood up and opened the balcony door to get the flowers. When he reached out, cold white crystals fell on his arm.

snowflake?

Bai Zhu raised his head and saw a little bit of fine snow drifting into the balcony illuminated by the lights:

"Why...is it snowing? Is it cold in spring?"

Along the southern coast, late spring cold and snow are extremely rare.

Snowflakes were floating in the corner of his eyes, and water droplets almost fell into his eyes when his eyelashes trembled. Bai Zhu lowered his head suddenly, lifted his eyelashes upwards to wipe them, and the cold wind came again.

This time, the balcony door, which was not closed tightly, was blown shut with a "bang", causing the exposed skin to lose heat instantly. Baizhu stretched out his hand to block the wind, and a "squeaking" sound was heard from the balcony guard wall.

Two pots of flowers were thrown down at the same time!

not good!

Bai Zhu grabbed the blue rose and smashed the blue cornflower away.

Snapped!

The flower pot was broken into pieces, the petals instantly flew on the light white snow, and the originally vibrant blue color instantly withered and faded.

It was as if the life had been sucked dry by the snow.

The palm of his hand hurt, Bai Shu took two steps back, and Blue Rose fell to pieces.

"hiss……"

Baizhu spread his hands, his skin turning red as if it had been burned just now if the snow dropped into his eyes.

That's useless.

"What's wrong, Xiao Shu?" Avril heard the voice and hurriedly opened the door.

"Don't come out!"

Baizhu tilted his head sharply, and Avril was so frightened that she retracted her hand and made no further moves.

What's going on...What's going on with this snow?

Bai Zhu frowned and took out his bracelet to make a call. Screams erupted from the red light district not far away.

"Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"

Like a huge boulder rolling into the lake, countless screams exploded.

All the people who were still having fun, or even going out to enjoy the snowflakes because of the novelty, were corroded and burned by the cold "snow", the beautiful scenery turned into purgatory, and the dark night showed a ferocious smile.

Bai Shu's back shivered, and his arms, which were already hypothermic, were numb with cold.

"Buzz——"

The alarm sounded again over the Second City, a short and shrill sound that had not been seen in almost ten years.

Level 1 alert!
