My Mr. Monster

【14:10:01】

Lu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable as he saw that the time was about to run out. He felt that his energy was unable to cope with the habits left over from such a long time.

The long-term mental tension will make him very stressed, because now the monsters outside are wandering around like they have been injected with chicken blood, day or night, which makes everyone panic.

He still didn't understand what kind of creatures those monsters were. After the human mutation, almost all of their original characteristics were changed, and now they have grown white hair to adapt to the cold.

Lu Xuan was worried. The monster worried him, and so did Wu Yang... Wu Yang really liked women, and this was a huge blow to him. Even though he knew the outcome would be like this, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed...

So cheap, like a complete masochist.

Lu Xuan looked at the slowly burning candle flame. He stretched out his hand and kept fiddling with the flame. He quickly passed it over it and it was not hot. The candle that had just melted and flowed onto the bedside cabinet was very soft and warm to the touch.

Finally, Lu Xuan got tired of playing alone. He blew out the candle, turned on the flashlight and walked out of the room.

Wu Yang has been under a lot of pressure recently. The appearance of those monsters caught almost everyone off guard, and more people were needed to investigate. They even moved heavy objects to block the door below to prevent those things from coming in.

Lu Xuan walked quietly to the campfire, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the flame. When his eyes moved, he was stunned. The stone disappeared, and only Han Song was left sitting by the campfire, fiddling with firewood with his head down.

"Han Song..." Lu Xuan shouted.

"Huh?! Lu Xuan, you haven't slept yet." Han Song was surprised when he saw Lu Xuan, and then quickly hid his sad mood.

But how could Han Song hide his overflowing emotions? Lu Xuan was so observant that he almost realized something in an instant.

"Did something happen?" Lu Xuan asked nervously.

Han Song glanced at Lu Xuan and then lowered his head: "Grandma Wang is ill... It happened suddenly, and things are not going well now..."

Lu Xuan was silent for a moment after hearing this: "I understand... Is there no other way?"

Han Song nodded: "She said she knew that her time was running out and she didn't need to do anything else."

"What about Jiang Jiang?" Lu Xuan asked.

"I cried for a long time, then I fell asleep because I was tired," said Han Song.

"Is that so..." Lu Xuan remembered that he was fine this morning, but he didn't expect that he would be...

"Do you want to go and see it? Just as... the last time." Han Song said after hesitating for a moment.

"No need... I... I can't stand this scene." Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm going back to my room. If you need anything, come to me."

"Well, then you go and rest first." Han Song nodded.

"Candy..." Lu Xuan suddenly came back and took out a dozen fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to Han Song. "Give them to Grandma Wang. If you feel too uncomfortable, it will taste sweeter if you hold it in your mouth."

"Okay..." Han Song looked at the fruit candy in his hand, and then stood there in a daze. It was obvious... that there was no chance to eat it... Lu Xuan didn't seem to react.

Watching Lu Xuan walk to the escalator in the corridor, he hesitated for a moment and then went up. His footsteps were particularly heavy, as if they were filled with lead.

Han Song regretted telling Lu Xuan about this. Lu Xuan was an emotional person... He seemed to have never experienced this before. Facing someone he would never see again, would he choose to escape?

Listening to the footsteps, Han Song realized that what Lu Xuan said and what he did were completely different.

Lu Xuan silently came to "Grandma Wang's" room. He looked at the rough door and gently knocked on it: "It's me, Lu Xuan."

The door opened quickly. Shi Tou looked at Lu Xuan with red eyes and was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to come here.

"How is Grandma Wang?" Lu Xuan asked Shi Tou.

"Not good..." Stone sobbed.

When Lu Xuan walked in, he saw Grandma Wang lying on the bed with a weak look on her face. The thick quilt didn't seem to be able to warm the old lady.

Grandma Wang was also surprised to see Lu Xuan. Even though she was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, she still forced a smile and said to Lu Xuan: "Why are you here, Xiao Lu? Why aren't you resting yet?"

"I came to see you and give you some candy." Lu Xuan took out another handful of candy. "You should have finished the ones I gave you earlier."

"It's too much. I, an old lady, can't finish it." Grandma Wang was laughing when she suddenly started coughing violently. This change scared the people around her.

Shi Tou quickly helped Grandma Wang calm down. Lu Xuan didn't care about anything else. He squatted at the head of the bed, held Grandma Wang's hand and said, "Grandma Wang, don't worry. If you feel uncomfortable, just don't say anything."

It took a long time for Grandma Wang to recover. She looked at Lu Xuan with a kind face. She stretched out her hand, which was as thin as a dead tree, and stroked Lu Xuan's face.

"Although you and Grandma didn't know each other long, if it weren't for you, the children here would have died long ago. You are a kind person," Grandma Wang said. "I have witnessed the decline of an entire civilization. Don't be sad. Grandma has no regrets anymore."

"Don't you want to watch Jiang Jiang grow up?" Lu Xuan looked into Grandma Wang's cloudy eyes, trying to retain the old woman who was about to take her last step.

"I'll leave Jiang Jiang in your care. I hope he can grow up healthy and happy. He is not a victim of this era, and you should not be victims of this era either." Grandma Wang seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and only her turbid yet bright eyes were staring at Lu Xuan.

"I understand. I understand this." Lu Xuan said.

"Xiaoxuan, you have a pair of beautiful eyes, like stars. I haven't seen them in a long, long time." Grandma Wang's voice became increasingly quiet. "Live happily and leave this dead city. I won't hold you back anymore."

"You're not holding them back. You're their pillar of support," Lu Xuan said. "Without you, they'll be sad too. They'll be so upset they won't be able to eat or sleep."

Grandma Wang chuckled when she heard this and said, "You are such a lovely child, but grandma is tired and can't accompany them on a longer journey.

Life is like a journey. The world is vast, but my destination is already determined."

"Xiaoxuan, grandma is tired." Grandma Wang's voice was almost inaudible, and her breathing became more and more rapid. "Take good care of Jiang Jiang."

"Will do."

"Thank you, your candy is really sweet." Grandma Wang's hands dropped weakly, and she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. Her voice was no longer heard.

"Good night, Grandma Wang." Lu Xuan put Grandma Wang's hand back into the quilt, then glanced at Shi Tou who started crying, and then looked at Grandma Wang who was "sleeping soundly".

Lu Xuan didn't expect that he would be the one to see Grandma Wang off. He felt so empty in his heart that he couldn't even cry. Instead, Shi Tou beside him cried so hard that he seemed to be about to faint.

He grabbed Shitou and held him in his arms: "Just cry for a while, and don't bother Grandma Wang, she will be angry."

Lu Xuan's words touched Shi Tou, and he finally threw himself into Lu Xuan's arms and sobbed softly. Now he completely regarded Lu Xuan as his elder brother, and the frustration and sadness in his heart began to be vented unscrupulously.

"Grandma Wang is gone. What should I do in the future, Brother Lu? There is no one who will keep whispering to me and comfort me. There will never be anyone like that again." Shitou sobbed softly, his body trembling.

"We are not dead. I will take care of you in the future. Stop crying." Lu Xuan felt helpless when he saw Shi Tou crying in the storm. He let Shi Tou wipe his tears and snot on his body. After all, he was just an underage child. What he lacked was love.

As Grandma Wang said, life is like a journey. The world is big, but Shitou and his friends are just starting out as little travelers. They still have a long way to go and the world they see is still small.

"Grandma Wang is just asleep. Death is not the end for us. Don't forget her, don't let her down, and live well." Lu Xuan patted Shi Tou's back. The skinny child's body was still shaking.

"I will remember Grandma Wang." Shitou said loudly.
