I just want to retire quietly

Minister Yu understood Tan Yan's character. Generally speaking, after he finished saying this, Tan Yan would probably say "My age is considered his elder, it should be", but he didn't wait for Tan Yan's response , but a suffocating silence.

Minister Yu gave Tan Yan a strange look.

"I'm going back to rest." Tan Yan got up and left, no matter how embarrassing the topic ended.

Seeing him leave, Xiaolu immediately broke free from the minister's embrace, and rushed towards Tan Yan without looking back.

For some reason, Minister Yu was inexplicably saddened by this scene.

Tan Yan felt very embarrassed. Logically speaking, he was supposed to be Liang Xian's elder, but Liang Xian confessed to him, but he still persisted. His attitude made Tan Yan feel that he insisted on being Liang Xian's elder. It hurts.

He couldn't be that child now, Liang Xian hoped that Tan Yan could face him squarely.

A day ago, Tan Yan felt that this was just a child's nonsense, so he rejected it twice and passed.

A day later, Tan Yan realized that he didn't have many chances to refuse.

Time is a luxury for the ability team. Tan Yan once thought that he was strong enough to keep Liang Xian's time, but in fact, he is just an ordinary person with a little stronger willpower.

He was lying on the bed with his hands folded behind his head to make a pillow, Xiao Lu leaned against Tan Yan, quietly forgot about him for a while, seeing that he was not asleep, he gave Tan Yan his head.

Tan Yan took out a hand and pinched the little deer's ears, half to comfort him, half to tell him to behave better.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolu arched him again.

Tan Yan looked at Xiao Lu, the little guy's eyes were big, beautiful, clean, looking at you as if he could see into your heart.

"What's wrong?" Tan Yan asked.

Xiao Lu couldn't speak, so he could only push Tan Yan to the side, so that he could expose half of the bed.

"You want to sleep with me?" Tan Yan guessed.

The fawn nodded like a human.

"But don't deer sleep standing up?" Tan Yan was puzzled.

The little deer ran to pick up the Mao Jing prepared by the base for Tan Yan, wiped it carefully on his hoof, and then jumped onto the bed with satisfaction, and lay down beside Tan Yan.

Tan Yan: "..."

How does this look like Liang Xian...

Thinking of the name, he paused again.In fact, it is natural to be like Liang Xian. Xiaolu is quantum entangled with Liang Xian, and perhaps also accepted Liang Xian's feelings.

Speaking of which, Xiao Lu liked to cling to him very much from the very beginning, was it Liang Xian's idea?

Xiaolu arched beside Tan Yan, found a comfortable lying position for himself, leaned against Tan Yan, and then closed his eyes comfortably.

In fact, it should be uncomfortable, the bed is too soft and a bit crowded.

But Xiaolu looks very happy, just like Liang Xian who climbed onto Tan Yan's bed back then.

Tan Yan couldn't tell whether he should be sad or funny. Liang Xian performed these actions very low-key, and would find various reasons for himself. It was difficult for Tan Yan to detect his intentions.Xiao Lu is not a human being, he doesn't have as many worries as Liang Xian, and no matter what he does, he is very straightforward.

He is expressing with all his heart that he likes Tan Yan, as long as he is with him, he is very happy.

Liang Xian couldn't convey the feelings that Liang Xian couldn't convey with his mouth and mind, but it was easy for Tan Yan to feel it when he was replaced by Xiaolu.

"Really like me so much?" Tan Yan asked.

The drowsy Xiaolu, who had closed his eyes, moved his ears, raised his head, nestled into Tan Yan's neck and arched it vigorously.

Tan Yan was a little itchy, patted his back comfortingly, and said softly: "Okay, okay, I understand."

Only then did Xiaolu stop, closed his eyes again with satisfaction, and fell asleep happily.

A wild animal that should be very alert, the deer usually stands up when resting, but it can easily lie down and fall asleep beside Tan Yan.

He fell asleep and adjusted his posture, revealing his belly.

This complete trust and love made Tan Yan smile.

But only halfway through the smile, the smile froze on his face.

Liang Xian is no longer there.

If he could return to the zombie world with Xiaolu and see Liang Xian who turned into a zombie again, would he kill him?Can he really do it?Did he decide to go only because he wanted to bring Liang Xian's ashes back to the real world?

Tan Yan asked himself several questions in succession, and thought for a long time, but couldn't answer any of them.

After living for so many years, he didn't even understand himself.

The supernatural team who had rested overnight did not return to school, but stayed at the base to participate in Qiao Zhixue's training. Starting with Qin Li, who had the strongest resilience, they were abused one by one.

Tan Yan passed by and took a look, and saw that Qin Li was placed on the hospital bed with electrodes connected to his head. Qiao Zhixue calculated the highest voltage that the human body could withstand, and at the same time increased the power from a safe voltage to let Qin Li train while adapting.

Tan Yan saw Qin Li's painful but patient appearance, wanted to help him, but felt powerless.

He can't replace anyone.

Minister Yu did not know when to rest last night, and it is not clear whether he has recovered from the aftereffects of using the power for the first time.But the next day, he appeared in front of people full of energy and led Xu Mingyu to talk with the survivors one-on-one. It seemed that the pain and tears of yesterday did not exist.

No matter how much pain he endured, as long as the revolution required him to continue fighting, Minister Yu could stand up.

Tan Yan understood this feeling. He used to stand up again and again like this, and entered the "empty" countless times tirelessly.

He was secretly sighing at the minister's strength, so Xiaolu tugged at the hem of his clothes, and took Tan Yan to sneak to the door of the conversation room.

After a while, a survivor came out. The man who had talked with Minister Yu was in a trance, and he didn't even recognize Tan Yan, so he followed the guards and left.

Xiaolu's ears moved, and he quickly pulled Tan Yan's clothes to make him listen carefully.

Tan Yan's hearing is excellent, even though the conversation room is sound-proofed, he still heard Minister Yu's voice inside: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, oh, Xiao Xu, don't melt."

Xu Mingyu: "No, your complexion won't look good once you take off your makeup, you have to touch up your makeup."

Tan Yan: "..."

Leadership is not easy. Even if you don't look good, you can still be full of energy with makeup on.

Everyone was busy, only Tan Yan didn't know what to do.Qiao Zhixue said that he was too strong to train again, and the training method he designed was of no use to Tan Yan; Minister Yu said that the task of comforting the survivors should not be taken care of by the supernatural team, they just need to move forward, and the rest will be left to Yu minister.

The current Tan Yan probably just needs to wait for the next "empty" to come.

Waiting is not Tan Yan's style, besides entering another world, he has another task - to learn quantum mechanics.

This was the task that Minister Yu assigned to Tan Yan a few months ago. A few months later, Minister Yu asked about Tan Yan's study progress. He heard that he had scored 170 points in the real questions of the college entrance examination over the years, so he stopped paying attention to this matter. The thing is that the progress is too slow. This is a long process.

If it were someone else, they might have turned the tables and stopped studying. Seeing that people who are about to retire have to do college entrance examination questions, and their grades are still very low, no one with strong self-esteem can bear it.

But Tan Yan just silently compared the results of each mock test, repeatedly doing wrong questions again and again. His test scores were not high, but each time he improved compared to the previous one.

Asking the staff to find relevant books and exercise books, Tan Yan began to study strictly according to the schedule.

It’s just that it’s difficult for him to study alone without the guidance of a teacher. He doesn’t know where to start when he makes many mistakes.

The little deer watching on the side jumped up and down anxiously, and finally couldn't stand it after three days, biting a pen and began to write with difficulty.

Tan Yan: "..."

It is very difficult for Xiaolu to write. Fortunately, there are books. He only needs to point out where Tan Yan's problems are, and find relevant knowledge points in the books, and Tan Yan can learn.

Only at this moment did Tan Yanang understand the complicated feelings of the members of the supernatural team when they saw the little deer. After working so hard for so long, it was really hurtful not to be as good as a deer.

Tan Yan thought more, and he thought of Liang Xian again.

Liang Xian is also keen on teaching himself to read and study, Xiaolu is also like him in this way.

Tan Yan smiled lightly, squeezed Xiaolu's ears, and studied with him.

Some things in the world are really difficult to predict. They once hoped that the "hole" would come later and give the ability team more time.

Now Tan Yan hopes that the "hollow" will appear sooner and go to another world sooner. Maybe Liang Xian has not turned into a zombie yet. Let's think of a way together, and there may be salvation.

However, things backfired. After a whole month, there was no shadow of "hollowness".

Time moved from November to December, and soon, Tan Yan's birthday arrived.

In fact, Tan Yan doesn't feel much about birthdays. He has been alone for many years, and he doesn't have time to go home at night, so birthdays are no different.When he was poor before, he would use his birthday as an excuse to give himself an egg or a dumpling, but now that the days are better, there is nothing to eat.

On the contrary, the unit has issued daily cake coupons to employees in recent years. Tan Yan doesn't like sweets, and every time he changes the cake, he sends it directly to the Ping County Welfare Institute for the children to eat.

The birthday in 2018 is naturally not a special day for Tan Yan. He wakes up to train and study like every day, and even because there is no unit to give cake coupons for the birthday this year, he even forgets his birthday.

But Xiaolu has been absent-minded today. He took out his seldom-used mobile phone from Tan Yan's bag, charged it, and turned it on.

God knows how he, a deer, completed such a difficult movement. In short, when he was studying, the deer stood by the phone, checking the time from time to time, his ears shaking violently, and he looked very anxious.

Tan Yan still has a lot of questions that he doesn't know today, and every time he goes to find Xiao Lu, he is not by his side, but guards the phone that is charging.

"Do you want to play with your mobile phone?" Tan Yan smiled, "But you can't touch it, what should I do?"

Xiaolu glared at him angrily, and it was the first time Tan Yan saw Xiaolu showing such a reproachful look, and was inexplicably stared at.

At noon, Xiaolu's cell phone rang.Tan Yan took it and saw that the mobile phone number was marked as a courier delivery.

He didn't shop online or order takeout, the base would prepare everything for them, and Tan Yan didn't need to spend money at all.

Picking up the phone suspiciously, the courier brother on the opposite side said: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Tan Yan? I have a courier for you, and the address is the Central Military Academy. Your school does not allow couriers to enter the door, but only puts them in the guard room. But this courier requires delivery. It’s in my hands, can you come out and take it?”

Express, what is it?

Tan Yan had long since left the Central Military Academy, so naturally he couldn't go out to pick it up.

The courier brother was in a hurry to ask him to sign for it, and Xiao Lu was also in a hurry to ask Tan Yan to receive the courier, so he was about to drag Tan Yan out of the base.

Tan Yan had no choice but to ask for leave, and made an appointment with the courier brother for a convenient meeting place.

When he arrived at the agreed place, he saw a young man in courier clothes holding a bouquet of red roses.

Tan Yan signed for the rose and found the note, which said——

Happy birthday to you, if you're not mad at me, can I treat you to dinner tonight?This time it won't be French food anymore, it's cold, let's eat fondue. ——by Liang Xian, who never dies for you

The sky in City B is very cloudy, and I don't know if it is smog or cloudy.Tan Yan was standing on the street with a fiery red rose in his arms. On the busy street, this bouquet of roses seemed to be the only color.

He raised his head, and a trace of coolness fell on his face. Tan Yan stretched out his hand and touched it. It was a snowflake, which instantly turned into water in the palm of his hand.

In December, City B ushered in the first snow in 2018.

Tan Yan stood in the snow for a long time, and it was already dark when he returned to the base.Xiaolu couldn't leave the base, and stood in front of the gate waiting for him.

Tan Yan walked into the base with a feeling of coolness, hugged Xiaolu gently, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you."

"Hollow" come on.
