Early in the morning, Mu You was awakened by the regular ticking of his watch.
Open your eyes and see the dazzling light. It is always noon in this world.
The quilt in front of him bulged up, and as he moved his arms, a cry of protest immediately sounded from inside.
Mu You opened the quilt, and a soft and delicate body was curled up in his arms, breathing long and long, like a sleeping kitten. The slightly messy long hair was spread wantonly in front of the two of them, and the tips of the hair were The fragrance came, making his mind flutter again.
Mu You caressed the skin of the person in his arms, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Last night the two of them were not passionate, but a natural expression of emotion after a long period of time.
The two people’s somewhat tired souls, which had been tortured by time, were exhausted and rejuvenated in this night of communion.
For Mu You, awakening Lin Xue thirty years ago was a spiritual rebirth, and now that the two have confirmed their relationship with practical actions, it is a more complete rebirth.
After today, everything will be completely different, whether it is the next life or the attitude towards each other. This sense of novelty is the rarest thing in this world that will always remain the same.
"Well…"
Even Lin Xue was speechless at this time.
After some indulgence, you will naturally return to the normal rhythm of life, getting up, working, communicating, and resting regularly every day.
"The truth is, I am actually this kind of person. What you see of me is just a habitual disguise that I have developed in the environment I grew up in. The real me actually likes to rely on others and act coquettishly. There are many A little woman's mind is jealous and sensitive, and she wants the attention of the person she likes to stay on her forever... But this real me will only be revealed when facing a very close person, the 'very close' here , even my parents and Xiaohai are not qualified. In the past, I could only show my true side naturally in front of grandma. "
“What’s different?” Lin Xue was curious.
Speaking of this, Lin Xue seemed to suddenly have some resentment. She pinched his arm, wrinkled her nose slightly, and said angrily: "You idiot, do you know that if a woman keeps suffering, she will also be tortured?" It's so bitter...I think you did it on purpose!"
…
But there is no one else in this world, only the two of them. There is no difference whether the door is closed or not, so Mu You doesn't care.
"But now, there is one more person who can let me show my true self..." Lin Xue finished speaking in one breath and looked at Mu You.
…
One week later.
But the difference from before is that they no longer separate during the day and do their own things. Instead, they stick together all the time and no longer avoid each other. All the work of one person becomes two people. .
Mu You came back to her senses, shook her head with a smile, and kissed her on the forehead.
Mu You stretched out in front of the sun and felt refreshed. His limbs and strength, which were originally a little sore, were quickly recovering.
“I thought that was you expressing your trust in me...”
The two of them did nothing serious this week. Their original schedule was thrown aside and they took a rare vacation for themselves.
“What do you think?” Lin Xue looked over curiously.
“What’s intentional?” Mu You didn’t understand.
On the desk, Mu You turned over the pages of the book in his hand and couldn't help but smile when he looked at Lin Xue, who was leaning on his shoulder and holding his arm to read.
Lin Xue hesitated after hearing this, and then said: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that you are different from what I imagined..." Mu Youyou said.
"I don't care! It's your fault anyway. You made me wait for thirty years. You have to make up for it! You won't be able to leave this room for the next day, no, for a week..."
When they first tasted the forbidden fruit, both of them had some taste for it, but they were both rational people after all, and they restrained their growing desires in time.
Lin Xue noticed it immediately, raised her head and rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong? Suddenly she giggled again..."
Mu You shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that you would suddenly take the initiative yesterday..."
“…” Mu You was stunned when he heard this.
“I originally thought that you would be more independent and cold, and would like to maintain some private space even with people close to you, but in fact...” Mu You said and glanced at the two bodies that were close to each other.
It was only then that he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that was the door you left on purpose. I thought..."
"of course not…"
Mu You was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.
In recent years, he has indeed often seen Lin Xue's door open during his breaks. Even if it is closed, it is only ajar, leaving some gaps.
The window of the room was opened by Mu You, and bright sunlight once again poured into the house.
…”
…“It’s better to say that I like it more.”
To be honest, Lin Xue's behavior in the past few days really surprised him. Lin Xue, who had always been a cold-faced goddess, suddenly became very affectionate after the relationship was confirmed. The initiative and enthusiasm she showed when getting along, Mu You felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, as if she wanted to stick to him 24 hours a day.
Lin Xue sat in front of the dressing table at the back, doing her makeup in front of the mirror.
“Of course.” Mu You nodded.
Lin Xue seemed to be awakened by his little movement. She yawned and woke up. She looked up at Mu You, but met his direct gaze. She couldn't help but blush: "What's wrong, looking at me like this?"
"Still pretending to be stupid? For thirty years, I have left the door open for you every night, but you never took the initiative... I had no choice but to take the initiative..." Lin Xue said.
Looking at Mu You's dazed look, Lin Xue asked carefully: "Do you... think I'm troublesome?"
In this world, people will get tired if they perform some high-intensity work continuously. However, similar to the self-healing of injuries, the physical strength consumed by work will be recovered in a short period of time.
Of course, it is not without gain. At least the two of them proved that even if they are excessive and unrestrained in this world, the body will not be depleted...
Life in Zhijie continues, peaceful and sweet.
The two did not live together directly after that, but still maintained a state of separation, because after discussion, they both believed that it was not good for men and women to have **** too frequently, and it was easy for people to become addicted to it.
You must know that once the threshold of desire is raised, it is difficult to go back down. You have to admit that physical pleasure is still the highest level of joyful experience in this world with the person you love most.
Therefore, it is even more necessary to exercise restraint, otherwise if you get used to this feeling, everything else you do will become boring.
After discussion, the two finally decided to live together once or twice a month, treating this kind of thing as a reward and trying to avoid crossing the line as much as possible.
No matter what, with the change in the relationship between the two, life is suddenly no longer boring, and some things that were originally boring have now become sweeter.
Time passes slowly day by day, and sometimes Mu You even feels that such a life is actually not bad.
Of course, Mu You knew that it would not be so smooth in reality. Time can dilute everything, including love.
Now they have just established their relationship, and everything is still fresh, but love also has a burnout period, three years of pain, seven years of itch and so on.
Mu You dare not say that he and Lin Xue will never go through these periods at all. He only hopes that if there is a period of burnout, it can be a little calmer and allow the two of them room to deal with it.
In this slightly uneasy waiting, the two of them continued their lives as usual.
One year…
Two years…
Ten years…
a hundred years…
…
Time passed at an imperceptible speed. In the blink of an eye, it was already the 403rd year since Mu You entered the realm of stasis.
Excluding the 76 years when Mu You first spent alone, the two have lived here together for more than 320 years. However, I don’t know if it was because their emotions were too stable, and the imagined ‘burnout period’ never came.
Having been together for more than 300 years, the relationship between the two has not calmed down, but has become increasingly close, so close that they can tolerate everything about each other.
At this stage, Mu You finally felt relieved. It seemed that their personalities were in sync with each other, and they would not suffer from the usual burnout period.
But what Mu You never expected was that before the burnout period came, an unexpected trouble came first.
“How about mung bean soup?”
This morning, Mu You prepared breakfast at the dining table as usual.
"okay…"
Lin Xue smiled and nodded, walked to the dining table, and sat down naturally as usual, but the hint of hesitation in her smile did not escape Mu You's eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Mu You looked at Lin Xue strangely.
Lin Xue hesitated for a moment, but did not hide anything: "Mu You, I...I seem to be pregnant!"
"Um?"
Mu You was startled when he heard this, and his heart was full of confusion. Pregnant? it's here?
Their physical condition should be locked in the limit, how could they possibly get pregnant? It doesn't make sense at all in principle.
"it is true…"
Lin Xue looked sad and touched her lower abdomen: "I can feel it... This feeling has become more and more obvious recently..."
Mu You hurriedly sat down next to her and touched her belly. Naturally, he didn't feel any changes.
“Have you tried the pregnancy test stick?”
"I tried it, but there was no reaction...but that may be because the hormone-antigen reaction cannot be reproduced in the world..." Lin Xue said.
Mu You couldn't help but frown. Seeing Lin Xue's serious expression, it didn't look like a simple illusion.
And the electronic equipment cannot be used here, and they have no external power, so they really can't determine whether it is true or false.
In the next year, both of them were silently paying attention to Lin Xue's situation.
Unfortunately, after one year, Lin Xue’s belly has never gotten bigger, her food intake has changed, and she has never experienced morning sickness.
After observing this for a year, both of them were basically convinced that the pregnancy was just an illusion.
"Don't worry, there will always be children. After you go out, we can have as many as you want..." Mu You comforted Lin Xue, who was a little disappointed.
Lin Xue was not sad for long, and quickly regained her smile. She took the opportunity to pester Mu You, forcing him to pay the public rations for several days in a row.
After the clouds and rain passed, the mood of the two of them also cleared up, and their lives returned to their former peace.
Mu You thought this matter would just go away.
Until a few days later, when Mu You got up early in the morning and went downstairs, he saw Lin Xue sitting in the hall with her back to him, seemingly holding something in her arms, and talking softly to herself.
Mu You took a closer look strangely, but was stunned.
In Lin Xue's hands, there was actually a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. He was still sleeping in a sleeping posture.
“Mu You, you are here, come and see our child.” Lin Xue showed him the baby in her arms with an unusually loving smile on her face.
"Well…"
Mu You's expression turned strange. Of course he knew that this could not be Lin Xue's child, but a baby she had picked up from somewhere outside. In this world, a baby who was stilled like this did not know. how many.
"How is it? Isn't it cute?" Lin Xue looked at him expectantly.
"Yeah, cute..." Mu You could only nod in agreement.
“She’s a girl. I’ve already thought of two names. One is called Mu Ling and the other is called Mu Xin. Which one do you think sounds better?” Lin Xue asked him softly.
"Then... Mu Xin." Mu You smiled bitterly, and finally chose to cooperate with her, just as Xiaoxue's way of solving the problem of not getting the child she had been looking forward to for a year.
In the following time, the life of the two people became the life of a family of three.
This child seemed to have suddenly become a pendant on Lin Xue's body. She would carry it with her wherever she went. She also had several more tasks every day, such as going to major clothing stores to choose children's clothes, dressing up her daughter in different ways every day, and never getting tired of it. He took Mu You to plan the future for his daughter, filling several notepads...
At first, Mu You had been patiently cooperating with Lin Xue, thinking that when her nurturing fun subsided, she would naturally return to life.
However, as time passed, decades passed in a flash. During this period, Lin Xue not only did not lose interest, but became more and more addicted to this 'parent-child role-playing game', playing the role of a mother dutifully every day, and he was also pulled He has always been a father.
At this time, Mu You finally began to feel that something was not right.
However, after hesitating for many days, he finally did not expose it.
Mu You could vaguely understand Lin Xue’s feelings.
The relationship between the two has become more and more intense during these years of getting along day and night, and now it has reached a bottleneck. According to the normal process, they need to transform from a simple couple to a father and mother in order to complete the sublimation of the relationship and continue on the road of life. Go forward.
But this process has been stopped by the stopping world.
It is impossible for them to have children in the limit, which means that their relationship is locked at this upper limit. But the spiritual needs of the two people will not stop there, and will continue to accumulate as time goes by.
Lin Xue's vision of pregnancy before was probably a manifestation of her extreme expectations for a child.
If the needs are not met for a long time, the spirit is also easily destroyed. And if this kind of role-playing can make Lin Xue feel better, Mu You is willing to continue acting with her. (End of chapter)
