The last moment in her previous life - the look Xiaochen looked back at her when she was dragged away by the zombies, the scream of "Mom" - was like a red-hot iron, burning into the deepest part of her soul.
Mu Yanxi raised her tearful eyes and looked at her son's young face.
She's back.
Back before the apocalypse broke out—a full month ago.
"Mom, you are so weird today." Xiaochen sat at the dining table and dangled his calves.
"Why is it weird?"
"You keep staring at me." The little boy tilted his head, "As if you were afraid that I would disappear."
Mu Yanxi walked over and touched his hair. Soft, fine, real touch.
"Mom just..." She paused, trying to keep her voice steady, "I just suddenly felt that I should cherish every minute with Xiaochen."
Now she held the jade pendant in her hand, and by some strange trick, she opened her index finger with her nail.
Blood beads seeped out and dripped on the jade pendant.
——This is what I heard from an old survivor in my previous life: Some ancient jades require blood as a contract to identify their owners.
The moment blood dropped on the surface of the jade pendant, a change occurred.
Xiaochen seemed to understand, but stretched out his little finger: "That hook. Mom protects me, and I will protect my mother when I grow up."
Mu Yanxi hooked the little finger, her eyes burning.
The prey must be fattened before killing, and the enemy must stand on a high place - and then fall down hard.
"Some scars are hidden in the flesh, and some hatred grows on the bones. Only after Lin Wan died once did he realize that true rebirth is not about turning back time, but about turning the blood that flowed in the past into the knife in his hand today."
