Xu Qian's heart tightened, unable to accept this fact for a moment.
Xu Lü was her half-brother, even though they were the same person, but...
In her eyes, they had always been separate.
Xiao Ping glanced at her indifferently, a purple light flashing in his eyes.
"Qian, if you miss him, I can become him, and I can call you sister."
Xu Qian suddenly looked up. His expression was serious, and he wasn't lying.
She waved her hand tiredly and said softly, "I just... need some time to accept it."
She truly considered him her brother.
Xiao Ping lowered his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in their depths.
He hadn't expected Xu Qian to like that fool.
Xiao Ping changed the subject, "Are you ready to destroy the last base?"
Hearing this, Xu Qian immediately perked up.
"Yes, it's the last base. After destroying it, I can rest for a while."
Xu Qian pressed her temples. The string of missions had left her utterly exhausted. She wanted a good few days of rest, even just a long sleep.
Xiao Ping's purple eyes flickered. He reached out and touched her ponytail, saying in a deep voice, "Get out, I'll drive."
Xu Qian was surprised. Xiao Ping had never touched her hair before.
However, she didn't dwell on it and got out of the car, swapping places with him.
She adjusted the navigation and lowered the desk and chair to sleep.
"Tell me when we get there."
"Okay."
Xiao Ping started slowly. He drove smoothly and quickly. Xu Qian fell asleep in no time.
If Xu Qian had looked closely, she would have noticed that his driving was very different from the way the original Xiao Ping and Xu Lü used to drive.
Xiao Ping and Xu Lü drove like they were flying, but he drove steadily and fast.
The young man glanced at her sideways. With a thought, a white mobile phone appeared in his hand.
He pressed a button, and the screen showed it was the year 2015.
Three years had passed since the apocalypse began.
Xiao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly. In the three years he was gone, the X Group had almost fallen into their hands.
Fortunately, there was still room for recovery.
He barely looked at the navigation. An hour later, they arrived at the last base.
Haitong Hotel.
Xiao Ping's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the familiar building. He turned the steering wheel and parked in a shady spot.
Xiao Ping didn't rush to wake her up. Instead, like her, he reclined his seat and lay down.
He stared at her beautiful face, a sense of emotion rising within him.
This woman was indeed formidable.
She had destroyed the base he had painstakingly built.
In the end, he couldn't bring himself to kill her.
Xiao Ping gently brushed his hand against her cheek, but the girl grabbed it and hugged him.
"Xiao Ping, stop messing around."
Xiao Ping froze. He closed his eyes, and the expression in them returned to normal.
He carefully withdrew his hand and said softly, "Xu Qian, just one last time."
A farewell, for Xu Lü and for the original Xiao Ping.
After a long while, Xu Qian's eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
The familiar car roof made Xu Qian a little dazed. She turned her head and saw the young man lying obediently in the driver's seat.
Those deep purple eyes were staring at her without blinking.
Xu Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Why didn't you wake me?"
Xiao Ping's purple eyes flickered, and he came back to his senses.
"You were tired and needed to rest."
Xu Qian pressed her throbbing temples and opened the live map to check.
The last base was located within a nearby five-star hotel.
"Let's go, we'll walk."
Xiao Ping shook his head and said, "I know where the entrance is. Let's drive straight in."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "You... you've recovered your memory?"
Was he really someone from X Group?
