There was another burst of darkness, and Mu Tang stood there without daring to move. After a while, his eyes suddenly became brighter.
This time it doesn't seem to be in the same room as before.
The place is very spacious, just like the villa area where they stayed before. The furniture around it is neatly arranged, but it lacks the strong atmosphere of life like the villa.
Everything is neatly stacked together, and there is not a trace of dust on the table floor.
It looks like no one has ever lived here.
There was a slight creaking sound, and someone opened the door.
A slightly stooped figure appeared behind the door. He was carrying a briefcase and looked very tired. As soon as he entered the room, he changed his shoes step by step and disinfected his whole body.
But it was strange that no matter how hard Mu Tang opened his eyes, he could not clearly see what this person looked like.
His face was like a black hole of nothingness. It wasn't scary, but it was still hard to see clearly.
The man took off his coat and hung it on the back of the door, then turned around. He seemed stunned for a moment, and his voice was a little confused:
"How did you come?"
"Mu Tang" did not speak, but walked directly to the sofa and sat down, smashed a document on the coffee table, and looked at the person without saying a word.
The man was silent for a moment and didn't say a word. Instead, he turned around and entered the kitchen, where the sound of the coffee machine was heard.
Mu Tang watched the man busy in the kitchen and opened the cabinet to reveal the pure white plates and cups inside. Among them, a light blue mug was very conspicuous.
The man carefully took out the cup, walked to the sink, rinsed it, placed it under the coffee machine, and pressed the button.
For a moment, the strong aroma of coffee spread in the room. The man mixed milk with the coffee, then took out three sugar cubes and put in three. After stirring evenly, he slowly came out with the cup.
"Mu Tang" watched the whole process without saying a word, until the man gently placed the cup in front of her, with obvious flattery in his tone:
"Coffee is mixed with two-thirds milk and three sugar cubes. I know you like sweet ones best."
Mu Tang's eyes fell on the cup. It was not just a single light blue cup, it also had many reliefs of bears and stars on it.
It looks childish and cute.
Perhaps because "Mu Tang" had been silent for a long time, the person opposite him became obviously uncomfortable. He rubbed his clothes and legs nervously, and said in a helpless tone:
"This... this is your favorite before. I have always kept it in my notebook. I have practiced it many times, so there should be nothing wrong with it..."
Finally, he asked tentatively:
"Do you want to try it?"
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Mu Tang could still see his gray hair.
Mu Tang, who was imprisoned in the shell, saw his cautious look, and for some reason suddenly felt sour in his heart.
She wanted to lift the glass and take a sip, but she couldn't.
Here, she is just a spectator, and can do nothing but watch all this develop.
After a while, "Mu Tang" spoke, pointing to the document on the desktop, his voice extremely cold:
"explain."
The person opposite suddenly bent his back, looking very disappointed. He raised his hand and pushed the cup in front of Mu Tang:
"Try it, it'll be good after just one bite..."
"Mu Tang" who was sitting on the sofa seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She picked up the folder on the table and tore open the seal, pulled out several documents inside, and asked loudly:
"What are you doing with so many pathogens?!"
The person opposite seemed to be frightened. The not-so-tall figure shrank back, still trying to act stupid:
"What kind of pathogen? I'm retired...I can't help you with your work..."
"Mu Tang" sneered:
"Mu Xu, don't act stupid. You used my name to transfer so many pathogens out of the warehouse. Do you think I won't know? What are you and your good senior brother planning?"
Mu Tang, who was in the storage area, was shocked!
Mu Xu? !
It’s this person again, with the same surname as hers. Is this her relative?
But... why, why doesn't "she" seem to like this relative?
While thinking, "Mu Tang" stood up and looked at him condescendingly with a cold face:
"Don't even think about doing anything about ACET without getting past me. No one can hide it from me, including you."
The person opposite seemed to refuse to answer at all, with his head lowered and his eyes silently looking at the coffee cup on the coffee table.
"Mu Tang" waited for a while, but still didn't get the slightest response from the man, so he directly picked up the cup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground! !
This person finally moved, and the person who was sitting on the sofa almost flew towards him, struggling to reach out his hand to take the cup!
But it was too late. The crisp sound of broken ceramics was particularly harsh in this empty house. Coffee and ceramic shards were splashing on the originally spotless floor!
Accompanied by this was the muffled sound of the man falling to the ground!
Mu Tang watched the man get up from the ground silently, ignoring the pain, squatting there and picking up the porcelain pieces on the ground bit by bit, even his fingertips were trembling slightly.
But unfortunately, this miserable look did not seem to gain sympathy from "Mu Tang". She only heard her sneer:
"Pretend." Then he quickly walked to the door and opened it.
Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at the man who was still squatting on the ground picking up pieces, and said in a bad voice:
"The thing you are working on seems quite interesting, and I am also very interested. Since you said it has nothing to do with you, let ACET take over that thing. Tell your good senior brother to hand over the medical samples as soon as possible."
The man's body trembled and he raised his head sharply. Just as he was about to say "Mu Tang", he had already slammed the door and left!
The last scene in front of Mu Tang, who was still in the body, was the man's hand scratched by broken porcelain pieces. Then his eyes darkened and he didn't know anything anymore.
…
Mu Tang opened his eyes suddenly and found himself lying on the bed at the base. The surroundings were quiet. Lu Yan had his own work, and Ren Yu and Lin Wanwan also went out for training.
Mu Tang sat up and recalled everything in his dream.
Lu Yan guessed last time that the things she saw in her dream might be her lost memories. Is it the same this time?
But there seems to be no way to connect this dream with the last one. It seems like it happened in two time periods.
"Myself" in the dream looks really strange, and the person named "Mu Xu" is obviously the family I have always wanted, but why don't they seem to have a good relationship?
These dreams were like that cup, broken into countless pieces, lying on the ground in a mess, waiting for her to pick them up piece by piece.
There was the sound of the door opening and familiar footsteps from downstairs. Mu Tang knew it was Lu Yan and quickly jumped out of bed and put on her shoes.
When Lu Yan reached the second floor, the door suddenly opened. He was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:
"Tangtang, you didn't go out?"
Then he seemed to think of something and put his hands behind his back.
Mu Tang originally wanted to rush over and hug him, but Lu Yan didn't open his hands as usual, so she had to brake in time.
But she didn't notice that Lu Yan's movements were a bit awkward, and she wasn't angry when the hug failed. She hugged Lu Yan's arm naturally and asked happily:
"Why are you back so early?"
Lu Yan shook his head:
"No, I just came back to put something away."
"what?"
Mu Tang's attention was immediately attracted and he looked at Lu Yan's hand behind his back.
Lu Yan hesitated, but Mu Tang immediately grabbed his sleeve, shook it, and asked delicately:
"What is it, can I see it?"
Lu Yan thought for a while, originally he wanted to give her a surprise, but now it didn't really matter, so he simply nodded:
"It's just for you."
Mu Tang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
"Give it to me?! What is it? Is it delicious?"
Lu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched her face:
"You just want to eat. Fortunately, you won't gain weight."
As he said something, he suddenly thought of something and pinched Mu Tang's cheek. This long-lost soft touch also made him feel happy and his eyes became softer.
When Mu Tang heard that it wasn't food, his interest immediately dropped by half, but he still asked curiously:
"What it is?"
Lu Yan stopped teasing her and took out the things hidden behind him and put them in her hands:
"Look."
