Wu Chengyue couldn't have imagined that the invisible intruder was Lu Tianyu, who was supposed to be in All Beings Base.
"Is it you?" After reading the note, he automatically raised his head to look at the other side of his table. He saw nothing, of course.
He silently stared at the air with confusion in his eyes. His brain was working quickly, trying to figure out what was going on.
The zombie lady turned invisible and came into his office, then asked him to send someone to bring her subordinate to her. Why? Did she come alone this time? Didn't she bring even one man? Even if she didn't bring anyone, she could go and find her people by herself, couldn't she? Wasn't she able to leave the house?
Besides, why was she staying invisible? Wouldn't it be politer for her to show her face and talk to him?
Did something happen to her and made her hide herself?
In spite of the ton of questions in his head, Wu Chengyue smiled faintly and said, "Is something wrong with your body? Can't you show your face?"
Thinking that there might be a problem with her body, Wu Chengyue was a little worried. That was only a guess though. He mentioned it casually, hoping to hear an answer.
Lin Qiao took back the notebook and wrote—'It's inconvenient for me to show up now. Please find my man, thank you!'
She didn't tell him that she couldn't deactivate her invisibility at the moment, and that she couldn't leave the house.
The current relationship between the two of them was complicated. Wu Chengyue should be willing to find Xie Dong for her. After all, that was only a small favor to ask.
"I need a reason to help you. So, why are you here?" He was worried about her health. However, he knew that she wouldn't tell him the real reason no matter how he asked, unless she wanted him to know.
He had learned that the zombie lady didn't like talking about her personal life, and didn't like people interfering with it.
Lin Qiao frowned and thought for a moment, then wrote—'I don't know what's going on either. I'll tell you when I have figured it out.'
Wu Chengyue read the note and then showed a surprised look on his face. "Not even you know what's going on? Why are you here then?"
How could she not know what had happened to her? Wu Chengyue didn't fully understand what that meant.
'Don't worry, I won't steal your secret,' Lin Qiao wrote.
Wu Chengyue curved his mouth corners in a faint smile and said, "I believe that you're not interested in those."
Wu Yueling heard her father talking and raised her head to look at him. She found that no one but her father and herself were in the room. Whom was her father talking to?
Then, she saw a pen standing on her father's desk, writing by itself.
She popped her eyes and looked at the pen curiously. It was so interesting, just like magic. She wasn't afraid at all.
She saw her father talk to the air, as if someone was there, then saw the pen moving. Was her father talking to the pen that was standing on the table?
After writing the last note, Lin Qiao dropped the pen and stopped writing.
Seeing the pen fall on the table, Wu Chengyue knew that she didn't want to tell him anything else. So, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll find your man. Do you need any other help?"
The pen stood back up on the table and wrote down two words—'No, thanks.'
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, "Em, I'll send Licheng to find your man later when he comes here."
Lin Qiao thought for a second, then wrote—'As payback, I'll babysit your kid.'
Wu Chengyue needed to leave the base tomorrow to carry out a mission. He could use a babysitter. Lin Qiao had observed Ling Ling earlier, and believed that she herself was suitable for the job.
Wu Chengyue read that note and then the room fell into quietness. He dropped his head and looked at Wu Yueling before saying to her smilingly, "Ling Ling, can you go over there and sit on the couch? Daddy needs to work. Daddy can't work while you're sitting on his knees."
Wu Yueling looked around to confirm that no one else was in the room. Then, she slowly slid off Wu Chengyue's knees and walked to the couch. While walking, she turned back to look at the pen that had been put back into the pen container by Lin Qiao.
Seeing her come over, the rabbit that was on the couch moved sideways slightly.
Wu Yueling walked to the couch, then suddenly heard a voice from her mind—'Ling Ling, can you hear me?'
'Eh? That's… Zombie Mommy!'
Wu Yueling immediately stopped walking and looked around with surprise.
At that moment, someone gently patted her hair. Then, she heard Zombie Mommy's voice again—'It's me, but please, don't call me Zombie Mommy! Call me Zombie Sister!'
Lin Qiao had spent a long time, but still couldn't make the girl stop calling her Zombie Mommy. The kid really listened to her father.
Having her head being touched, Wu Yueling was stunned at first, then delighted.
'Mama!' She happily called Lin Qiao, and the latter didn't know what to say.
Alright, she removed the word 'zombie'. Why on earth did the little girl insist on calling her Mama?
Lin Qiao looked at her helplessly and habitually sat on the couch, then put the girl on her knees. While brushing the girl's long hair with her fingers, she tried again to correct her—'I'm not your Mama. Call me Sister!'
Wu Yueling looked around. She couldn't see her, but could feel her. It was so interesting.
'Have you missed me these days?' Lin Qiao asked her in her mind, and Wu Yueling nodded in response. She remembered how she missed Zombie Mommy the first few days after coming back, but later on forgot about that. Kids could forget about a lot of things.
Lin Qiao smiled, then reached out a hand to catch the rabbit while asking the girl, 'Why is the rabbit so ugly? Who shaved it?'
Wu Chengyue raised a hand and pointed at Wu Chengyue, who was sitting behind the table.
Wu Chengyue sensed something, then raised his head to see his daughter being held by the invisible being. It looked as if the little girl was floating in the air.
He found that scene so weird! He wondered if something would happen to his eyes if he spent too much time looking at that.
In the next couple of hours, Lin Qiao was sitting on the couch talking to Wu Yueling while Wu Chengyue was doing his work behind his desk.
Lin Qiao sensed that someone was coming. So, she put Wu Yueling on the couch and said to her, 'Ling Ling, do you want to play a game with me?'
Wu Yueling looked at her confusedly. She couldn't see her, of course. But, the word 'game' aroused her interest. As a result, the little girl nodded with sparkling eyes.
'Later, someone will come here. You will sit here and guess if he can find me. Don't let him find me.'
Lin Qiao didn't want Xiao Licheng to come in and see Wu Yueling floating in the air, because she didn't want anyone else to know that she was in Wu Chengyue's study room yet.
Wu Yueling nodded without fully understand. Keeping others from finding Zombie Mommy should be easy. People couldn't see her anyway.
