In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

After confirming that Mu Mu was still in the medical center and saying goodbye to several plant spirit warriors, Mo Chen brought Rosemary and quickly arrived at the door of the lounge.

It was getting late, so in order to ensure the health of several patients, the lights in the lounge were naturally turned off early.

Mo Chen told Rosemary to wait outside for a while, and he walked forward and gently knocked on the door of the lounge.

The plant spirits that needed care were resting, but the kettle androids who were responsible for taking care of them had not yet rested.

"who is that?"

"It's me, Miu Miu."

After a brief question and answer session, the door of the lounge was slightly opened.

A Miu Miu, who was not sure who he was taking care of, poked his head out and waved at Mo Chen:

"Dear owner, are you looking for someone here?"

"Well, I came to see Mu Mu. Is the child asleep?"

Mo Chen nodded and explained his purpose to the Miu Miu in front of him.

"Mumu?"

Miu Miu closed her eyes, then opened them again: "The child is not asleep yet, dear owner of the house."

"Are you still awake? That's great. I have something I want to talk to that kid about."

Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Mu Mu's bed under the guidance of Miu Miu.

The beds of each patient are far apart to ensure that they do not disturb each other.

The water curtain constructed by Miu Miu using water molecules also perfectly serves the purpose of sound insulation and privacy protection.

Mo Chen passed by Xiao Li's bed and found that the child was already asleep.

She held the rice doll given by Mo Chen and immersed herself in her beautiful dream.

As for why Xiao Li was said to be having a sweet dream...

If it wasn't a beautiful dream, how could I have such a peaceful smile?

Isabella seemed to have fallen asleep as well, and Mo Chen didn't have the heart to disturb her.

He walked quickly past the two beds and stopped not far from Mu Mu's bed.

Miu Miu, who opened the door for Mo Chen, was the one responsible for taking care of Xiao Li. After Mo Chen entered the door, she returned to her job.

Miaomiao, who was responsible for taking care of Mu Mu, immediately stood up and brought Mo Chen to the bedside of the person she was taking care of.

"Mr....Mr. the owner of the house!"

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Mu Mu, who had not fallen asleep yet, immediately sat up from the bed and looked at the person coming cautiously.

Her experience in the nursery made her develop a habit of not daring to fall asleep. After all, the nursery's late-night spot checks were not considered a good thing.

If you get up late during the random inspection, you might get a beating.

Mu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the face of the person who came.

"Mu Mu, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Mo Chen noticed Mu Mu's somewhat nervous expression and deliberately used a gentle tone.

"It's just... I'm not that sleepy for the time being, Mr. Landlord."

Mu Mu lowered his little head, played with his fingers, and answered in a weak voice.

"For a child of your age, it's better to go to bed early."

As if he saw Mu Mu's worry, Mo Chen smiled and added:

"Don't worry, Mu Mu, Manor 5905 is your home, we are all your family, just stay here and don't worry about anything else."

The words "home" and "family" seemed to touch Mu Mu's heart, making this always frightened child feel relieved.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Landlord."

After calming down Mu Mu's somewhat uneasy mood for a while, Mo Chen also got to the point:

"Mu Mu, I want to ask, do you know anything about the contract between plant spirits and plant spirit cultivators?"

"Yes, Mr. Landlord."

Mu Mu nodded slightly. The nursery did teach these basic common sense.

"Mu Mu, there is something I want to ask you for help with."

Mo Chen considered for a while what tone to use, and then solemnly made his request to Mu Mu:

"If possible, I would like to borrow your power."

Mo Chen's words were so shocking that Mu Mu's brain froze for a while.

"Mr. Landlord, do you mean... do you want to sign a contract with me?"

Mu Mu swallowed hard and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, Mu Mu, if possible, I would like to sign a contract with you and obtain the power to summon the Sailor Mushroom."

Mo Chen's expression was very sincere, and he explained his request in detail again.

"Tonight, Manor 5905 will be attacked by the Imperial Army. I want to build a defense line made of sailor mushrooms in the swimming pool while defending.

Although you are also a plant spirit warrior, the Federation has not allowed you to receive formal military training, and you are a little young, so we can only think of this method. "

Seeing that Mu Mu remained silent, Mo Chen patiently added:

“If Mu Mu doesn’t want to, then it doesn’t matter.

Mu Mu, I promise you that neither I nor anyone else in this manor will have any effect on you because of this..."

Before Mo Chen could finish his words, his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Mu Mu:

"Mr. Landlord, you can obviously apply to the Federation to recruit another sailor mushroom spirit, why did you come to me?

How can a useless plant spirit like me sign a contract with a plant spirit cultivator like you?"

Mu Mu's two sharp questions made Mo Chen slightly stunned.

But Mo Chen, who instantly understood what Mu Mu was worried about, showed a gentle smile at this moment:

"The reason is very simple, because only Mu Mu is the Sailor Mushroom Spirit of our family."

He gently rubbed Mu Mu's little head and continued in a calm tone:

"Since we have come to Manor No. 5905, it is our destiny. How could a child as cute as Mu Mu be useless?"

"Home···"

Mu Mu muttered to himself, repeating this familiar word over and over again.

"That's right, home. Just think of it as protecting our common home. Are you willing to contribute your strength?"

"I... am willing! Mu Mu is willing to protect our common home!"

Looking at the smiling Mo Chen, Mu Mu nodded vigorously, with crystal clear tears in his eyes.

But this time the tears were no longer from sadness, but from emotion.

······

He felt the subtle connection between the plant spiritual power in his body and the child in front of him.

After successfully signing the contract with Mu Mu and coaxing her to sleep, Mo Chen nodded with satisfaction and planned to go directly to the backyard battlefield to inspect.

However, when he passed by a bed, he stopped intentionally or unintentionally.

As if aware of someone approaching, the person on the bed covered himself with the quilt and pretended to be asleep.

Mo Chen gave a helpless but doting smile and quietly came to her bedside.

Gently lifting the quilt, Isabella's charming face immediately came into view.

The girl closed her eyes tightly, and her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing.

Her long silver hair flickered slightly under the light of the night light, further highlighting her peaceful sleeping face.

"Isa, are you asleep?"

Mo Chen leaned over gently and whispered into Isabella's earlobe.

Isabella did not answer and continued to look asleep.

It was just an almost imperceptible slight movement that revealed the fact that she was not asleep and that she was feeling uneasy at the moment.

Mo Chen said nothing more, but just quietly admired his little lover's sweet sleeping face for a while, and then carefully covered her with a quilt.

The rain is still falling tonight, and the battlefield in the backyard is still waiting for me. I feel a little regretful that I can't stay with Isabella for a while longer.

After a while, Isabella, who was pretending to be asleep, heard Mo Chen getting up, and her fear of being discovered finally subsided.

But just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt a warm and gentle touch on her cheek.

Along with it came a whispered admonition:

"Good night, Isa, I wish you a good dream today."
