"Three days..."

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

"Yes, but this time you must always be in my sight." Lin Xue's current state may disappear quietly at any time. He must be by her side at all times to feel at ease.

"Okay. I agree."

……

For the next three days, Lin Xue was still in bed recuperating, and Mu You stayed with her as usual, but this time he didn't bother her anymore, letting her adjust on her own.

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

It was not until three days later that Lin Xue opened her eyes again. Her complexion was much better and she could get out of bed and walk around normally.

Mu You was worried at first whether she was holding on, but after observing for a long time, he didn't see anything strange at all. It seemed that she had really adjusted back to normal.

"Is everything okay?" Mu You was still a little worried.

The setback a thousand years ago almost interrupted their journey. Fortunately, they survived, and the setback was not completely useless. The relationship between the two seemed to have been tempered in that crisis, leading to The next thousand years went by quite smoothly.

If it was a thousand years ago, he could nod 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 some kind of new stage.

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

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

"Um……"

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

"Me too……"

Mu You was also aroused by her sudden appearance and picked her up by the waist.

The importance of a child to his mother is self-evident. It is the flesh and blood that has truly fallen from his own body, but she was forced to make such a cruel choice as a mother, and finally chose him... Mu You didn't know what to do. How to repay her affection.

……

Mu You was indeed sure that Lin Xue had really recovered and returned to his previous healthy state from the inside out. The smile now is no longer the same as before, the kind of smile that hides one's thoughts, but the one who has truly untied the knot in his heart and is relaxed after feeling relieved.

This thousand years is like a certain node. When the passion dissipates, emptiness and dullness follow and attack the two of them.

"For three days, I kept thinking about this question, putting aside all the shackles of hypocrisy and self-concealment, thinking about the real result hidden in my heart... and finally, I got the answer..."

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

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

Lin Xue smiled and didn't answer. She just wrapped her arms around his neck, tiptoed to peck his lips, and then looked at him with charming eyes. The meaning was very clear: no matter how much you say, it will be pale, you can do it yourself. Feel.

You must know that psychological problems are much more difficult to deal with than real illnesses. A mental illness that almost caused her mental breakdown a few days ago was actually managed by her in just three days. Mu You was curious about how she managed Did it.

Two years...

"Figured out what?"

The ordinary days continued, Lin Xue never mentioned the child again, and the two returned to their previous lives. Time passed in a hurry as the dates and numbers on the notepad continued to accumulate.

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

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 must eventually come to an end.

ten years……

"The only thing that's certain is that I can't live without you in my life."

One year...

……

In the past thousand years, the two of them have tried everything they can think of to keep it as fresh as possible. Now it is difficult to find new things to stimulate their tired souls.

When the passion fades and the luster is washed away, the love between the two gradually becomes restrained, subtle, but purer, like an aged wine, which becomes more and more mellow as it is tasted.

a hundred years……

Mu You looked at Lin Xue with some distress.

……

……

The daily life of the two is like a clear spring, full of tranquility flowing slowly.

……

A thousand years……

"And because of this, our children no longer need to worry, because the divine power of the God of Death will only take away the person I care about most. I am very sure that that person is you, so nothing will happen to our children."

"In the past few days, I have been asking myself a question repeatedly: If one day, we encounter some kind of unsolvable dilemma, I have to choose between you and the child in order to let one of you survive. , what will I choose then?" Lin Xue said.

This thousand years was an extremely unremarkable one thousand years, but it was also a thousand years when their relationship truly sublimated.

"How did you adjust?" Mu You asked.

The Time Cage also began to truly exert its power at this time.

The two finally realized how Vivian felt at the beginning, the boring feeling that life was worse than death. The key was that this boring feeling did not rise gently, but grew exponentially as the years went by.

The frequency of the two living together naturally became more frequent, from once a month, to once a week, to once every three days, once every two days, once a day...

There is no way, at this stage, apart from love, there is nothing else that can interest them. Many things that used to help them kill a lot of time have now reached the point where they will feel nauseated if they touch it even once. It will be counterproductive.

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

Before Mu You entered this place, he had already adapted to the days passing by countless times back in time. Those experiences were not in vain, silently forging his mind as tough as iron.

But Lin Xue didn't have such an opportunity. This was the first time she had experienced such a long period of time. Mu You admired her for being able to persist to this point.

Since there was really nothing to do, the two of them often fell into a state of trance, relying on each other, sitting on a park bench in a daze, and their minds wandered to the sky for most of the day at a time.

Needless to say, both of them knew that this was a sign that their mental state was on the verge of reaching its limit.

But even so, neither of them gave up easily, and continued to think of ways to continue to stay in this realm, sinking, falling, and drifting into nothingness...

I do not know how long it has been. Gradually, even the feeling of love began to disappear.

An indescribable feeling of emptiness grew in the hearts of both of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I was the one holding back... Maybe it would have been better to let Xiaoya come in with you..." In front of the window of the study, Lin Xue leaned in front of Mu You a little sickly, with her ear close to hers. Touching his chest and listening to the powerful heartbeat. Only in this way can she feel that she is still alive.

Mu You shook his head and said with relief: "What are you talking about? The time we have persisted here has been a length that has never been reached by anyone in history. No one can do it better than you."

Lin Xue smiled, moved closer, put her entire weight on him, and said feebly: "How many years has it been now?"

A long time ago, Lin Xue had already entered a stage of suffering where days seemed like years. In this state, frequent attention time would only increase her mental burden.

So Mu You took the initiative to record the time, while Lin Xue rarely paid attention to the date. She would only ask him occasionally when she felt that the time was out of order.

"4107."

Mu You stroked the side of Lin Xue's face and comforted her softly: "We have passed four-fifths of the journey, and only the last short stretch is left. If we persist, the hard days will soon be over."

Lin Xue shook her head bitterly: "Liar."

"Huh?" Mu You tried to play dumb.

"Idiot, when you lie, the corners of your eyebrows will turn downward unconsciously." Lin Xue said with a smile.

"Really?" Mu You subconsciously touched his eyebrows. He really didn't know this, and joked: "Then I'll be careful next time and try not to be noticed by you."

Lin Xue turned her head with difficulty at this time, looked through the window sill at a faucet in the park below, and suddenly said: "It should be 2107 now, right?"

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

Lin Xue shook his head and looked at the drop of water suspended under the faucet: "The objects in this world are not completely stationary, they are just moved infinitely slowly. This drop of water began to fall around the year 1700. According to the The height it has fallen to over the years, and the ratio of one second here to 1000 years, the current time should be around 2100. Adding the number you just mentioned, it is probably 2107..."

"Sometimes, I really hope you can be a little stupid..." Mu You smiled helplessly. It was indeed not that easy to hide it from her, and he guessed the year exactly.

Lin Xue showed a proud smile, but she didn't feel any happiness in her heart. Instead, she was full of bitterness, because this was a number that made her despair: she had reached her limit, her real limit, but they didn't even have half the time. Can survive...

The cage of time lives up to its name.

"Mu You, I might not be able to survive..."

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

Mu You smiled and said, "Just go out first. Don't worry, I can finish the rest of the time."

This is not because Mu You is boasting about Haikou, but he is really confident.

He is different now than he was at the beginning. Now he has a true love and a responsibility. Just the belief that "Lin Xue is waiting for him outside" is enough to support him to finish the rest of the journey.

Lin Xue sighed: "Forget it, I will continue to accompany you."

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

"Xiaoxue, actually you don't have to..." Mu You hesitated and wanted to persuade.

Lin Xue immediately shook his head to interrupt him, held his hand tightly and said seriously: "Promise me, Mu You, not to make any sudden attacks, otherwise I will really hate you!"

"Even if one day I really can't hold it any longer and want to leave, you can only do it with my consent!"

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

Lin Xue stared at his eyes for a long time to confirm that he was not lying. Then she gradually felt relieved, but her eyelids began to fight: "I'm a little sleepy..."

"Then go to sleep. What we don't lack most is time..."

Amidst the comforting voice of her sweetheart and under the warm sunshine, Lin Xue felt tired and couldn't help but close her eyes.

……

Lin Xue suddenly woke up with a feeling of heart palpitations, and 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 reached out to stop it.

It's a pity it's too late.

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

Following this elongated sound, Mu You's hand covered Lin Xue's chest.

A strong feeling of falling suddenly hit her, and Lin Xue felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. A large number of things around her turned into distorted time and space afterimages and kept passing by her.

……

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

The noise downstairs, the chirping of insects and birds outside the window, and the roar of cars came one after another. These normal daily noises were like thunder to her, who had just stayed in the realm of silence for two thousand years. The explosion.

Lin Xue groaned, subconsciously covering her ears, trying to adapt to the new environment, and stumbled towards the window.

As expected, the wind outside the window was blowing the leaves, and birds were flying by. The long-lost breeze blew against the face, which was unusually refreshing. Lin Xue's almost frozen consciousness seemed to be baptized, and it was quickly rejuvenated.

She finally returned to the real world!

The feeling of excitement didn't last even half a second, and was followed by panic and confusion: But why did she go back to the pet shop directly? She was expelled from the Realm by Mu You, shouldn't she have appeared in the Heart of Time first?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Xue? Are you okay? Why do I seem to hear the sound of you falling?"

A familiar voice came, it was Xiaoya!

Lin Xue rushed to the door and opened it.

As expected, Xiaoya stood at the door and was startled when she looked at her: "What happened? Sister Xue, you look 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 have I been sleeping?"

"Where is Mu You? And Teacher Vivian, where are they now?" Lin Xue asked anxiously.

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

"Muyou? Teacher Vivian? Heart of Time? Sister Xue, what are you talking about? Is he a character in the game?"

"..."

Seeing the confusion on Xiaoya's face, Lin Xue was stunned in place, and an extremely ominous premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Stop joking! I mean 'Muyou', your boss, and the owner of this pet shop!" Lin Xue held Xiaoya's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

Xiaoya was pinched so hard by her that she looked at Lin Xue with both grievance and worry: "Sister Xue, have you forgotten? The owner of this pet shop... I have always been myself..." (End of Chapter)
