"Three days ......"

Looking at Lin Xue's determined gaze, Mu You hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Yes, but this time I must always be in my sight." Lin Xue's current state may disappear quietly at any time, and he must be by her side at all times to rest assured.

"Good. I promise. ”

……

For the next three days, Lin Xue was still in bed to recuperate, and Mu You accompanied her as usual, but this time she didn't bother again and let her adjust by herself.

For three days, Lin Xue was basically in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, sometimes her brows would suddenly frown, and sometimes she would smile inexplicably, and her state was cloudy and uncertain.

It wasn't until three days later that Lin Xue opened her eyes again, her complexion was really much better, and she could get out of bed and walk around normally.

Mu You was worried about whether she was holding on at first, but after observing for a long time, she didn't see anything unusual, and it seemed that she had really adjusted back to her normal state.

"Are you really okay?" Mu You was still a little worried.

The setback a thousand years ago almost interrupted their journey, but fortunately they survived, and this setback was not completely useless, and the relationship between the two seemed to have been tempered in some way by that crisis, which led to the next thousand years, they went quite well.

If it was a thousand years ago, he could nod his head and say love without hesitation, but now, he feels that the weight of this word is too shallow to describe their current relationship.

Mu You sometimes even felt that he and Lin Xue had actually skipped the relationship between husband and wife and entered a new stage.

Lin Xue looked at Mu You: "It's you." ”

"Between you and the child, I chose you, and you are the one who is more important to me."

"Hmmm......"

And Lin Xue's answer was just one sentence: "Because, I figured it out." ”

"Me ...... too"

Mu You was also aroused by her sudden outburst and hugged her by the waist.

A child's weight towards his mother is self-evident, it is the flesh and blood that really fell from herself, and let her forcibly make such a cruel choice as a mother, but in the end she chose him...... Mu You didn't know how to repay her affection.

……

Mu You can indeed be sure that Lin Xue has really recovered, and from the inside out, she has changed back to her previous healthy state. The smile now is no longer the same as before, the kind of smile that hides the heart, but the relief after really untying the knot in the heart.

The millennium was like a kind of juncture, when the passion dissipated, emptiness and flatness followed the two of them.

"For three days, I have been thinking about this question for a moment, putting aside all the shackles of hypocrisy and self-concealment, and contemplating the true result hidden in my heart...... And in the end, I got the answer......"

After a night of lingering, Lin Xue lay in Mu You's arms, her fingers drawing circles around his chest, and looked at him with a smile: "Now you believe it?" ”

"I don't know......" Mu You shook his head.

Lin Xue smiled and didn't answer, but wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed and pecked him on the lips, and then looked at him with silky eyes, the meaning was very clear: No matter how much you say, it will be pale, you can feel it yourself.

You must know that psychological problems are much more difficult to deal with than real actual pain, a heart disease that almost made her nervous collapse a few days ago, was really adjusted by her in just three days, Mu You was very curious about how she did it.

Two years......

"Figure out what?"

The dull days continued, Lin Xue didn't mention the matter of the child anymore, and the two resumed their previous lives, and time passed in a hurry under the accumulation of date numbers in the notepad.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the 1784th year that the two of them entered the cage of time.

Lin Xue lay in Mu You's arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat, and suddenly asked, "Mu You, do you love me?" ”

However, even the best times will come to an end.

Decade......

"The only thing that is certain is that I can't live without you anymore."

One year ......

……

For a thousand years, the two had tried everything they could think of to keep it as fresh as possible, and now it was hard to find something new to stimulate their weary souls.

When the passion fades and the lead is washed away, the love between the two gradually becomes introverted and subtle under the precipitation of the years, but it is more pure, just like an old wine, the more you taste, the more mellow it becomes.

100 Years ......

Mu You looked at Lin Xue with some distress.

……

……

The daily life of the two is like a clear spring, full of the tranquility of a long stream of water.

……

A Thousand Years ......

"And because of this, our children don't need to worry anymore, because the divine right of death will only take away the person I care about the most, and I'm pretty sure that that person is you, so nothing will happen to our children."

"I've been asking myself a question over and over again for the past few days: if one day, we encounter some kind of unsolvable dilemma, and I have to choose between you and your children to let one of you survive, what will I choose?" Lin Xue said.

This millennium is an extremely uneventful millennium, but it is also a millennium in which the relationship between the two is truly sublimated.

"How did you adjust?" Mu You asked.

The time cage also began to really exert its power at this time.

The two finally realized what Vivien felt at the beginning, the boredom that life was worse than death, and the key was that this boredom did not rise slowly, but increased exponentially with the passage of time.

The frequency of cohabitation between the two naturally began to become more frequent, from once a month, to once a week, to once every three days, once every two days, and once a day......

No way, at this time, except for love, there is no other thing that can make them interested, and many things that used to help them kill a lot of time have now reached the point where they will feel nauseous and sick to their stomachs when they touch it once, and forcing it to do it will only be counterproductive.

Even Mu You began to feel uncomfortable obviously, but he never showed it, because he knew that Lin Xue was in a worse state than him.

Before Mu You entered here, he had already adapted to the countless days of time regression, and those experiences were not in vain, and his mind was as tough as iron in silence.

But Lin Xue didn't have such an opportunity, it was the first time for her to experience such a long time of baptism, and she was able to persist to this point, which has made Mu You very admired.

Since there was really nothing to do, the two began to often fall into a state of concentration, leaning on each other, sitting on the park bench in a daze, and wandering in the world for most of the day at a time.

Needless to say, both of them also know that this is a manifestation of a mental state that is on the verge of limits.

But even so, neither of them gave up lightly, and continued to try their best to continue to stay in this realm, sinking, falling, and drifting into nothingness......

I don't know how long it took.

Gradually, even eros began to lose its feelings.

An indescribable sense of emptiness sprouted in the hearts of the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that, but I'm the one who dragged his feet...... Perhaps, it would have been better to let Xiaoya come in with you at the beginning......" In front of the window of the study, Lin Xue leaned in front of Mu You a little sickly, with her ears close to his chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, only in this way could she feel that she was still alive.

Mu You shook his head and said with relief: "What do you say?" We've been here for a length that no one has ever reached in history, and no one can do it better than you. ”

Lin Xue smiled, leaned closer, pressed the weight of the whole person on him, and said weakly: "Now, how many years?" ”

As early as a long time ago, Lin Xue had already entered the torment stage of living like a year, and frequent attention time in this state would increase her mental burden.

So Mu You took the initiative to take on the task of recording time, while Lin Xue rarely paid attention to the date, and only occasionally asked him when he felt that the time was out of order.

"Year 4107."

Mu You stroked Lin Xue's side face and comforted softly: "We have already passed four-fifths of the way, and there is only this last small part of the way left, if you hold on a little longer, the days of suffering will soon pass." ”

Lin Xue shook her head bitterly: "Liar." ”

"Huh?" Mu You tried to pretend to be stupid.

"Silly melon, when you lie, the corners of your eyebrows will unconsciously go down." Lin Xue said with a smile.

"Really?" Mu You subconsciously touched his eyebrows, he really didn't know this, and quipped: "Then I'll pay attention next time and try not to be seen by you." ”

Lin Xue turned her head effortlessly at this time, looked at a faucet in the park below through the windowsill, and suddenly said, "Now, it should be 2107, right?" ”

"Oh? Turns out you remember the time? Mu You was a little surprised.

Lin Xue shook her head, and looked at the drop of water suspended under the faucet: "The objects in this world are not completely stationary, but they are infinitely slowed down, this drop of water began to fall when we were around 1700, according to the height of its fall over the years, and the ratio of one second here is equal to 1000 years, the current time should be around 2100 years, plus the number you just said, it is probably 2107 years......

"Sometimes, I really hope you can be stupid......" Mu You smiled helplessly, sure enough, it was not so easy to hide from her, and the year was exactly the same.

Lin Xue showed a smug smile, but there was no sense of happiness in her heart, but it was full of bitterness, because this was a number that could make her despair: she had reached the limit, the real limit, but they couldn't even spend half the time......

The cage of time lives up to its name.

"Mu You, I may, I can't hold on......"

Lin Xue suddenly grabbed Mu You's hand and begged, "Shall we leave together...... As for the digestion of theocracy, we will think of other ways after we get out......"

Mu You smiled: "You can go out first, don't worry, I can finish the rest of the time." ”

This is not that Mu You is boasting about Haikou, but he is really a little confident.

Now he is different from the beginning, now he has love, and he also has responsibility, just the belief that 'Lin Xue is waiting for him outside' is enough to support him to walk the rest of the way.

Lin Xue sighed: "Forget it, I'll continue to accompany you." ”

She knew that Mu You's patience for time was very strong, much stronger than her, but she didn't dare to take risks, Mu You was too important to her, and if she lost him, she would definitely go crazy.

"Xiaoxue, in fact, you don't have to ......" Mu You hesitated, wanting to persuade.

Lin Xue immediately shook her head to interrupt him, grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Promise me Mu You, don't make any surprise attacks, otherwise I will really hate you!" ”

"Even if one day I really can't hold on and want to leave, it must be after my consent before you can do it!"

"Well, I promise you." Mu You kissed Lin Xue and gave her a reassuring look.

Lin Xue stared at him for a long time, confirming that he was not lying, and then gradually calmed down, but her eyelids began to fight: "I'm a little sleepy......"

"Then let's sleep, the last thing we lack is time......"

In the comfort voice of her sweetheart, under the warm sun, Lin Xue was tired, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

……

A palpitation made Lin Xue wake up suddenly, but what came into view was Mu You's raised palm.

"Wait! Mu You, don't ...... You promised me ......"

Lin Xue instantly understood what was happening, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop it.

It's a pity it's too late.

"Xiaoxue, it's time for you to leave......"

With this elongated voice, Mu You's hand was on Lin Xue's chest.

A strong sense of falling suddenly struck, and Lin Xue only felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and a large number of things around her body turned into distorted afterimages of time and space that continued to pass by her.

……

Lin Xue woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, and found that she was lying on the floor, and what she saw was a familiar study, and the layout of the scene was almost the same as the room she was in just now, but there were also many subtle changes.

The noise downstairs, the chirping of insects and birds outside the window, and the roar of cars came one after another, and these should have been normal daily noises, but they exploded like thunder for her, a person who had just stayed in the quiet realm for 2,000 years.

Lin Xue snorted, subconsciously covered her ears, and tried to adapt to the new environment, while stumbling towards the window.

As expected, the wind outside the window blew the leaves, the birds flew by, the long-lost breeze was blowing, unusually refreshing, and Lin Xue's almost solidified consciousness was like being baptized, and it quickly rejuvenated.

She's finally back in the real world!

The feeling of excitement did not last half a second, and then a kind of panic and confusion followed: But why did she go straight back to the pet store? She was ostracized by Mu You out of the Stopping Realm, shouldn't she have appeared in the Heart of Time first?

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Sister Xue? You okay? Why do you seem to hear you falling? ”

A familiar voice came, it was Xiaoya!

Lin Xue hurriedly rushed to the door and opened the door.

Xiaoya really stood at the door, looking at her and suddenly startled: "What's wrong?" Sister Xue, your face is so bad......"

Lin Xue didn't care about this, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Xiaoya, you brought my heart of time back?" How long did I sleep? ”

"What about Mu You? And Ms. Vivian, where are they now? Lin Xue asked anxiously.

However, Xiaoya's answer made her a little desperate.

"Mu You? Teacher Vivien? The Heart of Time? Sister Xue, what are you talking about? Is it a character from the game? ”

“……”

Looking at the blankness on Xiaoya's face, Lin Xue was stunned, and an extremely ominous premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.

"No kidding! I mean, 'Mu You', your boss is also the owner of this pet shop! Lin Xue grabbed Xiaoya's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

Xiaoya was pinched by her, and looked at Lin Xue with both grievances and worries: "Sister Xue, have you forgotten?" The owner of this pet shop...... It's always been me......" (end of chapter)
