In the end, Qiao Yue could only turn around and leave with an ugly face. Lin Wu held the child in his arms, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart and looked at Mu Tang with a smile:
"Xiao Mu, Xiao Yang's inflammation has completely recovered today. I will bring her to see you."
As he spoke, he raised Little Sun's little hand, shook it towards Mu Tang, and said softly:
"Hello, Auntie Xiaomu, I'm Little Yang~"
Mu Tang's eyes fell on the petite baby in her arms. She had always stayed away from children, let alone such a small child, which she had never been exposed to.
Contact with these children reminded her of Mu Xu's cold face when he was young. He swatted his hands away indifferently and said lightly:
"I still have something to do, go and play by yourself and don't disturb me."
Over time, she became even more reluctant to get close to these young lives.
But judging from Lin Wu's appearance, he must have liked this child very much before. If he remained indifferent, it would arouse suspicion.
After hesitating for a while, Mu Tang reached out and put his fingers into the tender palm.
The next second, there was a soft touch on her fingertips. The little baby held her hand tightly, opened its mouth and spat out a bubble of saliva, and looked at Mu Tang with squinted eyes.
Mu Tang subconsciously wanted to pull her fingers out, but Little Taiyang's grip was too tight, and she was afraid that the force would hurt her, so she could only stand stiffly in place.
Lu Yan stood nearby, watching her lowering her eyes and quietly looking at the child in Lin Wu's arms, and suddenly felt heartache and sourness in her heart.
They won't have children.
In the past, Mu Tang had not thought about this because he had been deliberately avoiding this topic; but for Mu Tang now, no matter how much he avoided it, it was useless.
Lu Yan suddenly remembered the indifference in Mu Tang's eyes when she looked at him in the morning. Now Mu Tang was no longer the little girl who was dependent on him and close to him.
The reason she let him kiss her in the morning was because she had not adapted to the unfamiliar environment. With the mobility she showed, she should have reacted by now.
It was certainly impossible to imagine being so close to her that morning.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who had a completely different temperament from before, Lu Yan suddenly had unrealistic questions in his heart.
If that were possible, would Mu Tang still be willing to have a child with him?
No, it should be said, are you still willing to abide by their lifelong agreement?
A strange emotion surged in my heart, as if it was a heartfelt closeness to this child.
This feeling was the same as when she touched the dog just now. It was the remaining feelings of her "other self" affecting her.
Mu Tang suddenly felt a strange feeling, which was accompanied by extremely complicated emotional confusion.
She can't be said to be disgusted with the subtle influence of her "other self" on her, but she definitely can't be said to accept it happily.
These emotions are currently doing more harm than good to her, and are likely to affect her judgment and make decisions that are completely different from before.
Thinking of this, Mu Tang slowly frowned.
Little Taiyang was too young and had already begun to fall asleep in just a few minutes. His face was tilted to one side, and the hand holding Mu Tang slowly loosened.
Mu Tang quickly retracted his hand and put it behind his back.
Lin Wu didn't notice anything. He coaxed the baby in his arms and whispered:
"Xiao Mu, I feel relieved when you wake up. Ayun and Xiaoman have been talking about you all day long, so they should be relieved now."
Mu Tang guessed how her "other self" would answer, and finally found that she knew nothing about it and could only nod:
"Thank you for your concern."
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment. Under normal circumstances, Mu Tang's answer would have been cheerfully:
"Really? Then I'll go play with them soon!"
I felt a little uncomfortable but didn’t think much about it, and continued:
"Then I'll go back first and you have a good rest."
"Goodbye." Mu Tang answered very quickly and said goodbye straightforwardly, without any ambiguity.
Lin Wu only felt it was even weirder. In the past, Mu Tang would always want to say, "I'll come see you again in a while," or "See you tomorrow, little sun."
She has always been a lively and cute little girl, but Lin Wu was still a little uncomfortable with such a cold farewell.
But he still didn't think much, nodded and turned to leave.
Qi Yang did not leave, but grabbed a bag and handed it to Mu Tang:
"The soldiers who went out two days ago heard that you were sick, so they asked me to bring it to you. They said it was your favorite. Let you and Niba take half of it."
Mu Tang often brought Niba to help. One person and one dog were surprisingly popular in the army. There were Lieutenant General Qin Zhen on top and soldiers from various positions below.
As soon as they heard that she was sick, the soldiers who went out on missions took care to bring her back these snacks.
Many gifts were sent to her while she was sleeping, and this was already the fourth condolence gift delivered by Qi Yang.
Qi Yang doesn't even have this kind of treatment.
After Mu Tang took the order, Qi Yang and Lu Yan said hello before turning and leaving.
When I opened the bag, I saw nothing special, just chocolate and cream biscuits, a common snack in the supermarket.
Mu Tang grabbed one and held it in the palm of her hand. It was a rare consolation gift in the last days.
