Chapter 98 Swapped Lives
The footsteps grew louder as they approached, and everyone looked over warily...
A man and a woman got off.
The man stood in front of the woman. He was tall and handsome, but his aura was too cold. He seemed indifferent to everything, but if you looked closely, you would find that his attention was on the woman.
From his perspective, if anything suddenly appears downstairs while he's going down, he can react immediately to prevent accidents from happening to those around him.
His striking appearance momentarily distracted Su Lanyue, but her gaze was quickly drawn to the woman behind him.
The woman wore a coat the same color as the man's, her soft, fluffy black hair draped obediently over her shoulders, creating a striking contrast with her fair skin. She had a delicate and charming appearance, with large eyes that looked innocent when she stared at people.
Despite living in the apocalypse, she had delicate skin and a clear complexion, making her seem not at all like someone who had experienced hardship. On the contrary, she seemed to be doing better than before the apocalypse.
Meng Xiaoyou...
The name cuts through my heart like a sharp blade, leaving a deep, bloody, and unhealable scar.
Su Lanyue's pupils constricted; Meng Xiaoyou had actually survived.
This is the biggest change Su Lanyue has experienced since her rebirth.
In her past life, Su Lanyue was depressed for a long time after learning that she was not her parents' biological child. Anyone who knows that they are not their parents' biological child would not be able to remain unmoved.
She knew that the reason she was living such a good life was because she stole it from someone else. After the truth was revealed, she quickly investigated her biological parents.
She was from the countryside, and her parents were not ambitious; her father was a gambler, her mother was sickly, and she had a brother who was a mama's boy.
It's clear what kind of life Meng Xiaoyou has been living all these years; she even almost had her university admission notice torn up by her parents.
Meng Xiaoyou was even beaten and tortured in order to get the admission notice.
Su Lanyue was shocked as she looked at the information; she couldn't believe there were such vicious parents in the world.
Compared to her biological parents, her adoptive parents in the Su family were different. They gave her the best of everything: the best food and clothing, the best education, and the best fiancé.
Having eaten delicacies for so long, asking her to eat coarse food would only make her feel like she has a fishbone stuck in her throat.
She doesn't want to change her life.
So, when Meng Xiaoyou was taken back and met Su's parents for the first time, Su Lanyue fell down the stairs, and everyone thought that Meng Xiaoyou had pushed her.
The moves are cliché, but they work.
Since Meng Xiaoyou returned to the Su family, this kind of thing has happened every few days. Finally, unable to bear their condemning gazes, she returned to Y City without hesitation.
Then came the apocalypse, and Y City quickly fell.
While cleaning the guest room where Meng Xiaoyou had stayed, Su's mother accidentally found a bracelet and began to worry about her child.
After all, Meng Xiaoyou is the biological daughter of the Su family; blood is thicker than water.
The Su family sent many superhumans to Y City to search for Meng Xiaoyou. Several groups of people died. The last group encountered Meng Xiaoyou's senior, whose name seemed to be Jiao. However, too much time had passed, and Su Lanyue couldn't remember.
The senior student said that Meng Xiaoyou was very close to them. When they were surrounded by zombies, she lured the zombies away to save everyone and died in their mouths.
In any case, in her previous life, Meng Xiaoyou was dead beyond any doubt.
In the third year of the apocalypse, the most powerful zombie king in Y City awakens, and wave after wave of zombie hordes encroach on the space on which humans depend for survival.
Su Lanyue died in the zombie horde and woke up again at the beginning of the apocalypse. At first, she thought it was a nightmare, until she saw the bracelet in Meng Xiaoyou's room and accidentally awakened her spatial ability, only to realize that everything was real.
Under the guise of searching for Meng Xiaoyou, she went to the Moonlight Base to befriend the base's powerful members and help them collect supplies, all in order to keep an eye on Y City and the zombie king near Y City.
She wanted to eliminate the zombie king before he rose to power, so that she wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
However, after being in Y City for so long, they haven't seen a trace of the Zombie King, but instead found Meng Xiaoyou.
Su Lanyue's face was as pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly. Mu Qingfeng also came back to his senses from Meng Xiaoyou and quickly supported Su Lanyue. "I told you long ago that you are not feeling well and need to rest. Let Zhang Lang and the others deal with this savage woman."
Zhang Lang was one of the superhumans who came with them.
Su Lanyue shook her head, bit her lower lip, stared intently at the two people coming down, and softly called out, "Sister Xiaoyou."
But then, the person who was walking perfectly fine suddenly stumbled and almost fell flat on their face. Fortunately, someone grabbed them by the back of the neck in time and helped them regain their balance.
Even so, her eyes widened as she looked left and right, then at Pei Sinian uncertainly, her expression serious and grave: "Tell me honestly, do you have a nickname that's the same as mine?"
Pei Sinian: "...She's calling me 'sister'."
Meng Xiaoyou nodded haphazardly: "You can be both an older brother and an older sister."
The consequence of Mushroom's nonsense was that he got a flick on the forehead, and while clutching his head, he corrected the woman's incorrect way of addressing him: "You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not your sister."
Mushrooms cannot have human counterparts.
Su Lanyue's beautiful eyes showed surprise: "Don't you recognize me? Mom and Dad are worried about you, so I came here to find you. The base in City B is safer than other places. Come back with me."
Mom and Dad?
Mushroom, belatedly realizing what was happening, blinked and stared intently at Su Lanyue for a long while before finally forming a faint impression.
Memories deep within my mind were triggered...
The original owner's life was not smooth. After she was born, her parents found out that she was a girl and felt that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled out and will eventually belong to someone else's family.
These original owners had no memory of what happened; they only heard it from their neighbors. They said their parents were not good to them when they were young, and they didn't give them breast milk right after they were born, saying that they wanted to wean them early to prepare for having a son.
The year she was born, a wealthy family passed by and left a lot of money. They could have used it to buy milk powder, but they saved it all, saying they would use it to help their son get married in the future.
It turned out that the neighbors couldn't bear to see it, so while Meng's mother and her family were working in the fields, they secretly fed the child goat's milk.
Sometimes, when unscrupulous parents remember, they feed their children some rice water.
That's how the original owner grew up. When she was three or four years old and could vaguely remember things, her younger brother was born. From then on, her life was full of hardship. The original owner was still a child herself, but she also had to take care of her younger brother. If her younger brother cried for no reason, she would get slapped twice.
After completing nine years of compulsory education, the original owner began to work hard to earn money for her studies. At first, the other party did not accept minors, but seeing how pitiful she was, they secretly slipped her their wages and told her not to tell anyone.
The truth eventually came out, and her parents complained that raising her was not easy and that she would have to hand over all the money she earned from working in the future.
Fate plays tricks on the unfortunate. Through her memories, Meng Xiaoyou knows that the original owner was in a state of despair and even planned to give up and applied to drop out of school.
It was only when the school noticed something was wrong and tried to mediate that the matter escalated, leading to unpleasant gossip from the neighbors, that the original owner's parents finally gave up.
Meng Xiaoyou was an outsider, but at this moment she felt the same way, and even her breathing became more difficult.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the person who had swapped lives with the original owner. In a daze, she seemed to see Su Lanyue falling down the stairs, her back to everyone, her head covered in blood, and the corners of her lips curling up at the original owner...
