Chapter 1728: Chapter 5: Years Gone By

“Three days…”

Looking into Lin Xue’s resolute eyes, Mu You hesitated for a mont, but eventually nodded.

“Alright, but this ti you must always stay within my line of sight.” Lin Xue’s current condition made it possible for her to vanish without a trace at any mont. He needed to be by her side at all tis to feel at ease.

“Okay. I promise.”

…

Over the next three days, Lin Xue continued her bed rest, and as usual, Mu You stayed by her side. This ti, he refrained from speaking and disturbing her, allowing her to adjust herself.

During those three days, Lin Xue was mostly in a half-awake, half-asleep state. Sotis her brows would suddenly knit tightly, and other tis she would inexplicably smile, her condition as unpredictable as the weather.

It wasn’t until three days later that Lin Xue opened her eyes again, her complexion improved significantly, and she was able to get out of bed and move around normally.

At first, Mu You worried she might be forcing herself, but after observing her for half a day and finding no anomalies, it seed she had truly returned to a normal state.

“Are you really okay now?” Mu You still had so concerns.

Lin Xue smiled and didn’t answer. She just wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and pecked his lips, then looked at him with sultry eyes. The ssage was clear: words are pale, feel it yourself.

Mu You, too, was spurred by her sudden move, picking her up and holding her in his arms.

…

After a night of entanglent, Lin Xue lay in Mu You’s embrace, her fingers drawing circles around his chest, looking at him with a satisfied smile, “Do you believe now?”

“Mm…”

Mu You could indeed confirm now, Lin Xue had really recovered, both inside and out, returning to her forr state. Her current smile no longer carried the hidden worries it once did, but had genuinely untied her heart’s knot, relaxed and relieved.

“How did you adjust?” Mu You inquired.

Psychological issues are far more challenging than actual physical ailnts. The ntal burden that nearly broke her a few days ago was sohow self-adjusted within three short days. Mu You was curious how she managed it.

Lin Xue’s response was just one sentence: “Because I figured it out.”

“Figured out what?”

“These days, I’ve been repeatedly asking myself one question: if one day, we encounter an insurmountable dilemma and I must choose between you and our child to save one, what would I choose?” Lin Xue said.

“For three days, I’ve thought about this question without pause, stripping away all pretenses and self-deception, pondering the true answer buried deep in my heart… and finally, I found the answer…”

Lin Xue looked at Mu You: “It’s you.”

“Between you and the child, I chose you. You are the one more important to .”

“And precisely because of this, our child has nothing to worry about, because the Grim Reaper’s Divine Power will only take away the one I care about the most, and I am sure that person is you, so our child will be safe.”

Mu You looked at Lin Xue with a bit of heartache.

The weight of a child is indescribable for a mother, truly her flesh and blood. It forced her, as a mother, to make such a cruel choice, and yet in the end, she still chose him… Mu You didn’t know how to repay her profound feelings.

…

Their ordinary days continued, and Lin Xue never brought up the topic of the child, the two of them resuming their previous life, with ti rushing through the accumulating dates in the logbook.

One year…

Two years…

Ten years…

A hundred years…

…

A thousand years…

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already the 1784th year since they entered the Ti Cage.

The setback a thousand years ago nearly severed their journey. Fortunately, they endured, and the ordeal was not entirely in vain; their relationship had undergone so kind of tempering during that crisis, making the subsequent thousand years considerably smooth.

Their daily life resembled a serene flowing stream, filled with prolonged calm and continuity.

Sotis Mu You even felt they had transcended the husband-wife relationship and entered a new phase.

Lin Xue lay in Mu You’s arms, silently listening to his heartbeat, suddenly asking: “Mu You, do you love ?”

“I don’t know…” Mu You shook his head.

A thousand years ago, he could have nodded without hesitation and said he loved her, but now, he feels that the word lacks the weight to describe their current relationship.

“The only certainty is that my life could no longer be without you.”

“ too…”

…

These thousand years were incredibly uneventful, yet they were the thousand years during which their feelings truly elevated.

When the passion faded and the allure washed away, their love, settled by the river of ti, gradually beca restrained, understated, but purer, akin to aged fine wine, growing richer with each sip.

However, no matter how beautiful the ti, it eventually reaches its end.

These thousand years were like a kind of turning point. When the passion fully dissipated, emptiness and mundane life rushed to fill the void.

Over a thousand years, they had tried everything they could think of to maintain freshness. Now, it was becoming hard to find anything new to stimulate their weary souls.

The Ti Cage began to truly exert its power.

They finally understood how Vivian felt back then — that kind of tediousness worse than death, and crucially, this boredom didn’t rise gently but grew exponentially with passing years.

Their cohabitation frequency naturally began to increase, from once a month to once a week, then to once every three days, every two days, every day…
