Neverland

"Of course, the working environment and the situation of the workplace can be honest with the staff." Zhong Lu stood up, walked around the desk and patted Xu Muzhou on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "But in Xiao Muzhou, the employees are also divided into groups. Ninth class, no work unit will have no reservations about interns."

The implication of Zhong Lu's words is obvious - the employees who stay in the long-term are members of Neverland, of course they have the right to know the truth, but the interns who are about to leave after completing their tasks don't need to know so much.

Xu Muzhou recalled it belatedly.

Zhong Lu gave him a choice. If he wanted to continue asking, Zhong Lu would of course tell him the truth, but after listening to the "truth", whether he could leave or not was another matter.

And the other is that he obediently kept silent, and the two tacitly revealed this topic, as if this aggressive questioning had never happened before.

It's very interesting that Yan Cen and Zhong Lu are both from Neverland, but Yan Cen and Zhong Lu are at two extremes. Yan Cen tried his best to keep him away from Neverland, but what Zhong Lu meant was beyond words. , but hoped that Xu Muzhou would stay.

—— These two paths were in front of him, Xu Muzhou swallowed his anger and chose the latter.

He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head pleasingly, as if he was a model and good employee who worked hard and didn't complain, and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Zhong Lu knew his decision, she wisely stopped filling the stove, but went along with the flow, each took a step back.

"So children shouldn't be too curious." Zhong Lu said: "Although Yan Cen has a bad temper, if you trust him, you should understand that, at least from his point of view, everything he does to you It's for your own good...Of course, I know, the phrase 'for your own good' is a punchline. But that doesn't deny that it's also true in a few cases."

Xu Muzhou pursed his lips, knowing that she was right.

In the case of unequal information, the decision made by Yan Cen who has more information is indeed more credible than him.

He should trust Yan Cen, Xu Muzhou thought irritably.

"Look at the expression on your face that wants to eat people." Zhong Lu shook her head, and just halfway through feeling, she suddenly rolled her eyes as if thinking of something, and suggested with great interest: "How about letting you do the next mission by yourself?" ? Give you a chance to create beauty from a distance, and be calm."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

"Thanks for taking care of me." Xu Muzhou said, "No need, just keep it as it is."

He is too tired.

Xu Muzhou was forced to watch a heart-piercing farewell today, and then turned his head and was fed a soft knife of "no future" by his partner. Now he is exhausted, and he doesn't want to get involved with Neverland at all. relationship.

"That's such a pity." Zhong Lu sighed regretfully.

"Okay, work is fun." Zhong Lu cheered up quickly, picked up two folders that had been prepared from the desk, stuffed them into Xu Muzhou's arms, leaned on the desk and said: " Seeing you are unhappy, I will give you a fun world to relax."

Except for the sudden incident last time, Xu Muzhou had never experienced such a tight task frequency. Holding the folder in his arms, he asked strangely, "Now?"

"Tomorrow afternoon." Zhong Lu said as a matter of course: "It's better to go to work early, so that you don't have to look at each other in Neverland, and maybe the two of you get along with each other during the mission and you will get back together."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

He looked suspiciously at the gossiping Zhong Lu, and began to wonder if Zhong Lu wanted to keep him just to assign Yan Cen a partner.

"Don't look like that." Zhong Lu said boldly, "I treat everyone equally. It doesn't matter if Yan Cen is rough or thick. You are also my employee, so I have to think about your mental health."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

Thank you so much, what a touching boss, he murmured in his heart.

Zhong Lu took out a brand new black hydrangea from nowhere, threw it into Xu Muzhou's arms, and waved her hand: "Okay, let's go, let's take it back and have a look."

Xu Muzhou was kicked out by Zhong Lu, and when he returned to 317 with new mission information, Yan Cen still maintained the posture he just left without moving.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the bedroom were not turned on. The thin halo of dusk was mostly blocked by thick curtains, and the whole bedroom was dark and gloomy.

Xu Muzhou entered the house, closed the door, and changed his shoes without deliberately making light movements. According to Yan Cen's five senses, he should have noticed that he was back long ago.

But Yan Cen sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his eyes in an uncertain mood, with an absent-minded look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Muzhou inexplicably saw a pitiful feeling from him, like seeing a big cat abandoned by its owner.

When Xu Muzhou saw Yan Cen, the anger that had been suppressed just now boiled up again, and he was angry and distressed.

The time of Neverland is not counted in years, it is long and endless.There is nothing wrong with Yan Cen wanting to be drunk today, but in the future.

He gave up on the future in such a self-defeating manner, he only wanted to leave as many good memories as possible in the short, limited time. After the next ten missions are over, Xu Muzhou can pat his own butt and accept it once before leaving. What Lao Shizi's "memory cleansing" went away in an unrestrained way, but what about the people left behind.

What should Yan Cen do?

Xu Muzhou knew him too well, this person was proud and stubborn, he would never take the initiative to bow his head and give in to anything.So even if he is sad, unwilling, and regretful because of the relationship he has gained and lost, he will never bow to his negative emotions.

Xu Muzhou has already foreseen that when he leaves this world, Yan Cen will not think of a way to forget this memory.He will remember it for a long time like Song Yan, and then in the countless timeline exchanges, he will think of the only person who has ever intersected with him in the long years.

He is too conceited, Xu Muzhou thought, he will suffer, he doesn't understand how tortured these feelings can be.

Time will not be a good medicine for healing, but only an accomplice to punish one's heart.

It's hard for Xu Muzhou to say whether he is angry at Yan Cen's irresponsibility, or at his self-abandonment that doesn't consider the future at all. In short, a mess of emotions flooded into his heart, sour and bitter, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Of course Xu Muzhou knows that with the matter in front of him, the best way for him is to fall in love with him as Yan Cen hoped, to hug and kiss him according to his own wishes, or to do something closer to him. The task world under him is neither too many nor too few, and no matter what happens, he can make up for a few years.

But Xu Muzhou was unwilling, he didn't want every second of sweetness to be clouded like a countdown.

People's hearts are fleshy, and you can't just tune in if you just tune in. Xu Muzhou had just swallowed a mouthful of bitterness when he stabbed a shiny knife in his heart, bleeding out when he moved it. He couldn't force a smile.

Probably because he stood in front of the bedroom door for too long, Yan Cen finally found him belatedly.He raised his head to look at Xu Muzhou, and there was a flash of emotion in his eyes that he had no time to hide.

Xu Muzhou felt even more sad for a moment.

"Are you back?" Yan Cen was afraid that he would lose his temper and move out, so he quickly stood up and greeted him, his tone was as calm as if they hadn't quarreled just now: "Are you full?"

Xu Muzhou froze for a moment, then remembered that the excuse he made when he went out just now was to go out for dinner.

"I'm full." Xu Muzhou said perfunctorily, "By the way, I got a new mission record from Zhong Lu."

Xu Muzhou said and handed one of the documents to Yan Cen, then walked around him to the other side of the bed, kicked off his shoes and climbed up.

Seeing that he didn't intend to separate the family, Yan Cen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took his own document, glanced at Xu Muzhou's face, and sat on the other side of the bed.

Xu Muzhou opened the file and did not show any dissatisfaction with his tentative approach.

The format of the mission file is similar to the previous one. Xu Muzhou was tortured by the last inexplicable mission world and became suspicious. Now at first glance, the normal mission process seems to be seeing a relative.

Probably because the previous mission world was too brutal, Zhong Lu chose a more polite mission this time, as soon as Xu Muzhou opened the file, he saw a very obvious "normal" written on the mission difficulty column.

Oh, that's really great, Xu Muzhou thought numbly.

To Xu Muzhou's surprise, the background of this mission was even more outrageous than the previous ones - he was sent to ancient times.

Neverland's mission information for this time is very comprehensive, and the mission object of this time is clearly stated on it.

——Ren Xiao'an and Song Xueyao, the Empress of Wende, Gong Jingfu.

Xu Muzhou: "..."

Judging from Xu Muzhou's crippled liberal arts common sense, the prefix of more than half a line in front of the task object seems to be something called "posthumous title".

Therefore, the object of this task is not a living person.

Xu Muzhou was calm and composed, and even had a subtle mentality of "it really is".

Being stripped of his vest at the scene of the last mission world caused him a great psychological shadow, Xu Muzhou suddenly looked back, only to find that what Yan Cen said earlier was right, in comparison, living people are indeed more difficult to deal with.

At least the obsessions of the dead are very pure, Xu Muzhou comforted himself.

Yan Cen's reading speed was obviously much faster than Xu Muzhou's. Before Xu Muzhou finished a page, Yan Cen had already collected the documents, took down the pencil from the bedside table, and was about to start writing his identity application.

Xu Muzhou turned his head to the side, watching Yan Cen write and draw on the paper, for some reason, his mind moved, and he stretched out his hand to hold down his pen.

Yan Cen stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou said: "...Can you use your own identity this time."

Yan Cen's hands tightened, his first reaction was whether he had guessed something from Zhong Lu.

But this conjecture was quickly denied by him. According to the character of the little fox, if he really had a conjecture, he would not use such an uncertain tone to test him.

Thinking of this, Yan Cen calmed down, smiled at him, and said in a tone as casual as possible.

"this is not OK."
