Chapter 1725: Dead Zone: Things Beyond Reach
“But now, there’s one more person who lets show my true self…” Lin Xue finished in one breath, looking at Mu You.
“…” At this mont, Mu You was already stunned by what he heard.
Seeing Mu You standing there in a daze, Lin Xue cautiously asked, “Do you… find troubleso?”
“Of course not…”
Mu You snapped back to reality, shook his head with a smile, and kissed her forehead.
“… if anything, I like you even more.”
…
Life in the Dead Zone continued, peaceful and sweet.
The two of them did not move in together directly afterward and continued to maintain their separate living arrangents. After discussion, they both agreed that too frequent intimacy between a man and a woman wouldn’t be good, as it can easily lead to overindulgence.
It must be known that once the threshold of desire is raised, it is hard to lower it again. And admittedly, physical pleasure with the one you love most is the highest level of happiness in this world.
Therefore, restraint was even more necessary. Otherwise, getting used to this feeling would make everything else seem dull and tasteless.
After discussing, they finally decided to cohabit once or twice a month, treating it as a reward, and usually, they should try their best not to cross the line.
No matter how, with the change in their relationship, life was suddenly no longer boring. So things that were originally tedious now beca sweet.
Ti slowly passed by day by day, and sotis Mu You even thought that days like these weren’t bad at all.
Staying in this stagnant world like this, with only him and Lin Xue, having the one you love most by your side, not caring about others’ opinions, without the pressures of reality, without the worries of life, aging, sickness, and death, the two of them could hold hands and walk out the door anyti, to any place they wished to go. Such days, not to say five thousand years, but even fifty thousand years, it seed he could also enjoy it to the fullest.
Of course, Mu You knew that things wouldn’t actually go this smoothly.
Ti can dilute everything, including love.
Now they had only just established their relationship, everything was still in the freshness stage, but love also has its periods of weariness, such as the three-year pain and the seven-year itch.
Mu You didn’t dare say that he and Lin Xue wouldn’t go through these phases at all, he just hoped that if there were a period of weariness, it could be sowhat gentle, allowing them ti to cope.
In this slightly anxious waiting, they continued their lives as usual.
A year…
Two years…
Ten years…
A hundred years…
…
Ti passed at an imperceptible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had already been 403 years since Mu You entered the Dead Zone.
Excluding the 76 years Mu You spent alone in the beginning, they had already been living together here for over 320 years, but perhaps because both of them were emotionally too stable, the imagined ‘period of weariness’ never ca.
Over more than 300 years of being together, not only did their relationship not beco dull, it beca even more intimate, to the point where they could accept everything about each other.
At this stage, Mu You finally felt at ease, looking like their personalities really complented each other well, and they wouldn’t have a common period of weariness.
But what Mu You never expected was that before the period of weariness arrived, an unexpected issue ca first.
“How about so mung bean soup?”
That morning, Mu You routinely prepared breakfast at the dining table.
“Hmm, okay…”
Lin Xue nodded with a smile, walking to the dining table and sitting down as usual, but the slight, obscure hesitation in her smile didn’t escape Mu You’s eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Mu You looked at Lin Xue curiously.
Lin Xue hesitated for a mont but didn’t conceal: “Mu You, I… I think I’m pregnant!”
“Huh?”
Mu You was taken aback by her words, feeling full of confusion in his heart. Pregnant? Here?
In the Dead Zone, their physical states were supposed to be locked; how could she be pregnant? It didn’t make sense from a principle standpoint.
“It’s true…”
Lin Xue showed a worried expression, touching her lower abdon: “I can feel it…”
Mu You hurriedly sat beside her and also reached out to touch her stomach, but naturally, he felt no changes.
“Pregnancy test kit, have you tried it?”
“Yes, but there was no reaction… But that might be because the hormone antigen reaction cannot be replicated in the Dead Zone…” Lin Xue said.
Mu You couldn’t help but frown, looking at Lin Xue’s serious deanor, it didn’t seem like a re illusion.
And here, electronic devices couldn’t be used, they didn’t have the power of the outside world, making it difficult to determine the truth for a while.
In the year that followed, both paid silent attention to Lin Xue’s condition.
Unfortunately, after a year, there was still no sign of Lin Xue’s belly growing, and changes in appetite or morning sickness never occurred.
After observing like this for a year, they both basically confird that the pregnancy thing was obviously just an illusion.
“Don’t worry, we’ll have children. When we get out, you can have as many as you want…” Mu You comforted the slightly disappointed Lin Xue.
Lin Xue wasn’t sad for long, soon recovering her smile and taking the opportunity to cling to Mu You, compelling him to fulfill his duties for several consecutive days.
After a storm of passion, their moods also cleared up with the weather, and life returned to its usual calm.
Mu You thought this matter had passed just like that.
Until a few days later, when Mu You got up and went downstairs in the morning, he saw Lin Xue sitting in the hall with her back to him, seemingly cradling sothing in her hands, and talking softly to herself.
Mu You curiously approached to take a look, and suddenly froze.
In Lin Xue’s arms was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, maintaining the posture of being asleep, trapped in stillness.
“Mu You, you’re here, co and see, our child.” Lin Xue’s face showed an unusually loving smile as she presented the baby in her arms to him.
“Uh…”
Mu You’s expression turned strange for a mont, of course knowing that this couldn’t be Lin Xue’s biological child, but rather a baby she carried back from sowhere outside – in the Dead Zone, babies like this trapped in stillness were countless.
“How is it? Cute, right?” Lin Xue looked at him with anticipation.
“Yes, cute…” Mu You could only nod in agreent.
“It’s a girl, and I’ve thought of two nas for her, one is Mu Ling and the other is Mu Xin. Which one do you think sounds better?” Lin Xue softly asked him.
“Then… Mu Xin it is.” Mu You gave a wry smile, ultimately choosing to go along with her, treating it as a coping chanism for Little Snow after hoping for a child for a year in vain.
In the following ti, their life turned into one of a ‘family of three.’
This child seed to have instantly beco an accessory on Lin Xue’s body, going everywhere with her, and adding several tasks to her daily routine, such as picking out children’s clothing at major clothing stores, dressing up her daughter in different styles every day, and eagerly dragging Mu You to plan their daughter’s future together, filling several notebooks…
At first, Mu You patiently cooperated with Lin Xue all the ti, thinking that once her interest in raising faded, she would naturally return to life.
However, as ti went on, decades passed in a blink, during which ti, not only did Lin Xue’s interest not fade, she beca even more imrsed in this ‘parent-child role-playing ga,’ diligently playing the role of a mother every day, while he was also pulled along to act as the father continuously.
At this point, Mu You finally began to feel sothing was off.
But after hesitating for many days, he ultimately did not expose it.
Mu You vaguely understood Lin Xue’s feelings.
Their relationship had gotten exceedingly passionate through years of close companionship and had now reached a bottleneck. Following the normal process, they needed to transition from being simple lovers to being a father and mother, for their relationship to transcend and move forward.
But this process was brutally halted by the Dead Zone.
In the Dead Zone, they couldn’t have children, aning their relationship was locked at this cap. However, their spiritual needs wouldn’t stop because of it; they would only continue to accumulate over ti.
The previous hallucination Lin Xue had about being pregnant was probably a manifestation of her extre longing for a child.
If demands are unt for a long ti, the spirit can also beco easily broken. And if playing such a role could make Lin Xue feel a bit better, Mu You was willing to accompany her in this act.
