Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu wasn't as free as Yu Meng. He had many responsibilities and had to oversee everything. Yu Meng watched his retreating figure, her brows furrowing. If he overworked himself like this, it would be a loss for her. But she didn't have a suitable replacement, which was quite worrying!

Huang Yan ran over and said, "Teacher Yu, Aunt Qing wants you to come over. She said the aliens in the experimental garden have mutated."

Yu Meng stood up abruptly. "What did you say? Let's go see!"

The experimental garden was their main source of withered branches and strange shapes; there were also many green hairs there.

Upon arriving at the experimental garden, Qingyuan stood outside and looked through the glass; the inside was a complete mess.

All the aliens were unrecognizable. Where the branches had been withered, greenery had returned, and the green tendrils on the branches had found new homes.

Hearing the noise, Qingyuan turned around. "Yu Meng, everything was fine when I came yesterday. How come it's like this today? Can these still be used?"

"Don't rush, let me take a look first." This was the first time Yu Meng had encountered such a situation, and she wasn't sure either.

The little black cat appeared out of nowhere and squeezed into the experimental garden through a gap.

Qingyuan saw this and grabbed Yu Meng, saying, "You're taking too much of a risk."

"Aunt Qing, it's alright, it's strong."

The little black cat was the first to walk up to the withered branch alien, scratched it with its paws, and finally curled it up with its tail and returned it to Yu Meng's hand.

Qingyuan looked at the little black cat in Yu Meng's hand, but she couldn't see how the little black cat ended up in Yu Meng's hand.

Yu Meng pinched the sprouting withered branch, feeling it carefully with her hands, and then slowly peeled off its skin.

Qingyuan and Huang Yan were both looking at her. Yu Meng sighed and casually threw the withered branch on the ground. "Aunt Qing, it's ruined."

"Ah, it's ruined? What do you mean?"

"It's just like any other ordinary thing now; it no longer has the characteristics of an alien."

Qingyuan paused for a moment, then her eyes widened slowly. "You mean this isn't an alien anymore, and it's okay for anyone to touch it?"

Yu Meng nodded. "This is what happens to this withered branch. Don't you know about the others?"

"Then let's go in, it should be fine, right?" Qingyuan pointed to the experimental garden.

Yu Meng shrugged. "Aunt Qing, I only saw this one withered branch. I don't know about the others."

Tears welled up in Qingyuan's eyes. "If they all become ordinary, can we finally live normal lives?"

Yu Meng didn't answer. She also hoped to live a good life, but was that possible? With her at Jingchuan Guild Hall, everything was well prepared, which prevented any casualties. But outside, it was hard to say.

She had expected seven days, and now she was wondering if anything would change tonight. She was also very worried about her family; she didn't know how they were doing.

"Aunt Qing, let's leave it here for now. We don't have the energy to deal with these aliens right now. Fortunately, the aliens here are all very gentle," Yu Meng advised.

"I'm not sad. If they all become ordinary again, I'll be overjoyed."

Huang Yan, standing beside her, also wiped away tears, saying, "Why didn't my parents live to see this day?"

Yu Meng sighed inwardly; their thinking was completely different, making communication impossible.

"Aunt Qing, this is just one type of alien; it doesn't mean anything."

"I know, can't you just let me have a good laugh? Once it happens, it'll happen again, it's only a matter of time!"

Niannian rushed over, "I heard something happened at the experimental kindergarten. How is it? Is it serious?"

"See for yourself!" Yu Meng pointed in the direction of the experimental garden.

"Huh? They've all grown up, are they still the same things?"

Yu Meng's heart skipped a beat. "How about we let your Little Grey go in and take a look?"

Niannian turned to look at Yu Meng, "Fourth Sister, you're really good?"

"The lines can absorb the energy of the aliens, but if they are no longer aliens, your lines won't lose anything," Yu Meng explained.

"Then I'll give it a try." Niannian didn't hesitate and released the little gray line.

The little black cat lazily perched on Yu Meng's shoulder, without going inside.

After a while, Little Gray Line returned. Nian Nian shook her head, "It didn't get anything."

Qingyuan and Huang Yan both heard this. Qingyuan stared at Yu Meng, "Has everything changed? I'll go in and see." Without waiting for Yu Meng to speak, she opened the door to the experimental garden and went inside. Huang Yan glanced at Yu Meng and followed her in.

Niannian stored Xiao Hui in her mind, but a small bead remained in her hand.

She placed the small bead into Yu Meng's hand, saying, "Little Grey brought it out."

Yu Meng held the small bead, carefully sensing its texture, then placed it at eye level, examining it closely. "It feels like a medicinal stone."

Nian Nian kicked at the dirt with her feet out of boredom. Hearing what she said, she looked up. "Little Grey means this doesn't taste good; it doesn't like it."

Yu Meng handed the small beads to her, "Put them in your backpack. You might need them later."

"Fourth Sister, when are we going home? I'm a little homesick." Niannian hugged Yu Meng's arm, her voice a little listless.

Yu Meng pulled her outside, saying, "I'm worried about them too, but it's dangerous outside right now. I'm not referring to the aliens, I'm referring to the people."

"I know, but I'm really worried about them. I hope they really listen to what you said, otherwise I don't even want to think about it."

"As long as they don't go out, it's fine even if they stay in the backyard," Yu Meng said softly.

They hadn't been in contact with the outside world for the past few days. Nian Nian was bored, so one day she climbed onto the roof by herself, but she came down after a short while, pale-faced, and slumped there motionless. Yu Meng held her and comforted her for a long time before she finally cried.

She said everyone on the street had gone mad. She was terrified!

Having no other choice, Yu Meng took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and led her out. They walked down that street again.

At first, Nian Nian huddled behind the dream, her head pressed against its back. But out of the corner of her eye, she could still see some horrific scenes.

Yu Meng didn't force her to do anything. She just walked slowly, from one end of the street to the other, and then back again. After doing this three times, Niannian finally huddled behind Yu Meng and put her head on Yu Meng's arm. On the fifth time, Niannian wanted to go back and was able to talk and laugh with Yu Meng.

"Big Sister is so smart, she'll definitely lock the door. Knowing her personality, she really will go to work in the backyard storage room," Niannian muttered softly. "Big Sister should be able to see the benefits of those lines. Am I right?"

Yu Meng nodded. What she didn't say was that Dali had an inexplicable confidence in what she said; Dali believed everything she said. Moreover, Dali also had her own physiognomy; if something bad happened, she would sense it.

In the small town.

Seven days have passed, and Dali has completely given up. Anyway, they are just a little mentally unstable, but they know to find food when they are hungry and to sleep when they are tired. Most importantly, Jiang Mingfeng knows her, and Yu Jun knows Guo Fangting.

Dali discovered that her lines could absorb energy, and she hurriedly told Sister Xiu and her sister-in-law the news.

Although Guo Fangting is pregnant, it does not prevent her figure from absorbing energy.

At first, Mr. and Mrs. Yu were terrified, but seeing that their children hadn't done anything out of line.

Yu Jun even knew how to take care of his wife, and Jiang Mingfeng was also very attentive to Dali. Dali and Sister Xiu didn't show any particular reaction, and even told them that this was just the big deal their younger sister was talking about, and that it would be fine in a few days, so there was no need to worry about it.

The elderly couple actually believed it. After all, what Yu Meng said seemed to be true.

And so, by a twist of fate, harmony actually came to this family.
