His parents took Juda and Lui to Hary's room. There were only three rooms in their house. One was used as his dad's study and two were bed rooms. So now they had to accommodate three more people. Sharing the room was inevitable.
Yue led her to a spacious room. "This is my room, you can stay here."
Tian ai nodded.
"Oh, you might need a change of clothes," Yue opened up his cupboard searching for an outfit for her. All the clothes he had were mostly woman's clothes by this point. Plus, his sister was the same size as he was.
Sharing clothes was the optimal decision.
He gave her a chiffon pink blouse with a puffed slejpeve. As for the bottom, he just gave her one of his black palazzos.
"I don't wear pink,"
"You have nothing else to wear. Just take a bath," he ushered her in. "you can use any of my toiletries. I'll get you a new towel and toothbrush,"
"Okay...." she just waywardly stood in the bathroom.
"I know it might take a while to get comfortable. Just take your time, yes."
A small smile rose on the corner of his lips. "Yeah, I guess. Thanks,"
"You're at most welcome,"
Tian scowled and closed the door.
"Turn that scowl into a smile,"
"get out," she shouted from inside.
Yue happily hoped out of his room. Just by the doorway his parents stood with expression a mix of anxiety and nervousness.
"What did she say? Did she like your shampoo? Honey, we might have to buy her new clothes as well,"
His father smiled widely. "I know. All of Yue's clothes might not suit her style. Did you see, she was wearing a cool leather jacket. Maybe get her what those cool kids wear."
"yea, she looked just like you when you were young~~ we have to buy her more clothes. It's not my style but I can ask peng peng. He can help suggest me...."
Yue cleared his throat loudly, bringing their attention to him. "Might I remind you the world ended. There is no shopping anymore. And Tian uses any shampoos or soaps she gets hands on. She just hates being dirty,"
"ohhhh,...." his mother and father glanced at each other with a small look.
Zou Yue held his mother's hand. "how is Peng peng?"
In his last life he did not even know if Peng Peng survived or not. But this life he was super close. His patent might have gotten the news sooner.

"Heartbroken? Why?"
"Oh, we forget to mention...." his mother and father worriedly looked at each other.
"What is it? tell me mum..."
"Come here," his father led him over to his study and sat him down in his chair. "Qian Wen....is...."
"Dead?! Oh my god! He is dead?! What the hell? How are we going to survive! That guy is a key to our survival!!!"
Zou Wei sighed. "He is not dead. Just missing. Uncle Wen has sent a rescue crew to bring him back from his hospital,"
"He is stranded in a hospital?! Fuck that place is hard to survive."
Most of the people who were away from the meteor crash initially experienced different symptom. That included nausea, vomiting and fainting spell. So the hospitals were filled to the brim.
"Did you get any news?"
"Not yet," his father patted his back. "Don't worry, as you said, he is the key to our survival. He would have lived."
"I hope so..." Yue calmed down a lot after that.
In his heart, he had a small feeling that he was forgetting something. But he could not put a finger on it.
Tian took a short bath and came out looking like a fresh flower. The pink dulled down her sharp look, making look like an overpowering rich woman.
Yue smirked widely. "That suit you more than it did on me,"
Tian ai pulled at her top. "Pink is really not my colour,"
"sob....."
His mother leaned against his father, silently sobbing into his shoulder.
Only then did Yue remember this was a top his mum brought him. Since the colour did not suit him, he kept it in his closet.
'Mum..... She looks so pretty. Just as you envisioned.' He thought, wiping away the rogue tear.
Tian nudged his side. "Did I do something wrong? Why is she crying?"
"Mum brought that top thinking of you....you look so pretty," he whispered with a soft smile on his face.
Tian blushed a little. "Enough flattery..."
"I'm not flattering you..."
Suddenly, Tian squealed and jumped up high.
Trexa gran hugged her feet with a cute look on her face.
"Trexa, you can't scare her like that. Make sounds when you come close, yes?"
"squeak..." she cutely climbed onto his pants onto his shoulders. "She is harmless. Don't worry,"
Tian peered at the rat. "My sister rat, hi.." she awkwardly waved at the little rat.
The grey rat happily waved back at her.
"Did sister rat just wave at me..."
His parent burst out laughing. "Tian, you don't have to call her sister. She is just a family pet. Think of her as a family member,"
Trexa squealed happily.
"Trexa! I have a job for you." Yue lifted her off his shoulders and peered at her face.
Little Trexa looked confused.
"Tian, come close," he pulled her over to his room and made her sit down on his bed.
Yue plopped down next to her. He gingerly separated her hair.
With a trembling hand, she peeled away the bandage.
Thankfully, the bandage was clean.
The slightly healing wound came to his sight.
His heart drooped just from seeing her gaping wound. He gently touched the surrounding area. "Does it still hurt?"
"no.. Occasionally I feel a small pang," she whispered.
The door to his room opened slightly and his parents peaked in.
"Gasp!! What happened to her?" his parents surrounded them with worry. "Did some bastard hurt her? Tell me who that was. I will strangle them!!" his father clenched his fist.
"It's my fault. I failed to protect her...." Yue closed his eyes guiltily. Warm tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably..
"Hey it was some bozo who attacked us. Not you. Why do you take all the blame? I am not a damsel in distress. I can take care of myself," she said gruffly mumbled, poking his head.
"Trexa... can you fix it?" Yue sobbed silently.
The little rat hopped onto her head, peering at her wound.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why are letting a rat on my head?" Tian coolly looked at him.
"She can heal you?"
Tian picked up Trexa and glanced at her beady, black eyes. "This round rat can?"
"Yes. She can. Show her Trexa,"
Hyped by his cheers, Trexa hopped onto Tian's head and touched the wound. A small smoke like thing appeared, and the wound started to disappear. The bald spot on her head started to fill with hair that grew at a visible rate.
Touching her new baby soft hair, Tian's eyes widened.
"She really is magical!" she looked at Trexa revered. "is she dipped in kryptonite or something? I want one. Rats are cool!"
"she is infected by the virus,"
Tian instantly placed Trexa in the bed. "Why are you keeping a pet infected by a virus?"
"Technically, we all are infected. For the ones who died, their body could not fight back the virus. The lucky few developed ability because of the virus still in our body,"
His parents also listened to his explanation keenly.
"But there are also people who are not infected and are still alive. Like my parents, they are immune."
His father gently tapped his arm. "Actually, we have abilities,"
"What! Ability! When!!!" Yue looked at them, completely shocked.
His mother sat beside shim hugging him sideways. "Well, I can duplicate things. Just watch." she took a small hair. Just with a single touch, the hair turned into two.
"You can duplicate anything?! That's so awesome."
Tian also looked overjoyed. "We won't run out of ammo for a very long time,"
"Yes!! I can also have an unlimited supply of arrows." Yue excitedly chatted with his sister.
"Um, there is a downside. I can duplicate bigger things and I can't duplicate too many times per day," his mother said with a small pout.
"That's easy to solve. All you have to do is eat the crystals off those creatures' heads." His excited gaze then fell on his father. "What about you, dad? What's your powers?"
"I'm a green thumb. Any seed I touch grows into plants,"
Yue shot up. "Any seed?"
"Yes, any seed. It's not as awesome as your mother's, but with me here there won't be a lack of greens and vegetables."
"No, dad you don't understand. Your powers are one of the most powerful one! In a few days the second meteor is going to crash down. The animals and plants are going to mutate. Since you can grow things, you can nurture a mutated plant. That's like raising a guard dog! It's genius!!"
"Umm...." Tian raised her hand slowly. "I don't understand any of what you said...."
"Oh Tian, you have so much to know... I'll explain it all slowly,"
That morning he clearly explained about his past life and how much changes that are going to happen in this world.
