Chapter 711 The Wheels Rolled Over

"Xiaoxue, you...don't you plan to go back?" Mu You turned around and looked at Lin Xue who followed him through the door.

After Lin Xue entered the house, she changed her shoes skillfully, then walked to the closet, took off her coat and hung it up. Then she found a comb, held her long hair in front of her, and started combing her makeup in front of the mirror.

Hearing this, Lin Xue turned to look at him strangely while arranging her hair: "Go back? Where do you want me to go back?"

"Well……"

Mu You was at a loss for words.

Lin Xue was different from him. He was alone, with no other relatives. Everyone he knew was already in this family, so he didn't need to explain anything to anyone when he came back.

Lin Xue's relatives were all still alive. After missing for a month, her family must be worried. He also thought that after Lin Xue woke up, she had to go home first.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai left so simply just now, without any intention of asking his sister to go back with him, and without even asking.

"As for the family, I have already sent a message to report that we are safe. I am afraid that they will be worried. I did not say anything about our disappearance. I only said that I went to do some things out of town. I just came back today, but there are still some things that have not been dealt with. It will take a few days. Go home." Lin Xue shook her head and said.

Her parents were both career-mad and neglected their children. They rarely saw each other a few times throughout the year. However, she and Lin Hai grew up with her grandma. When she was older, she studied abroad all the year round and gradually developed an independent character. Apart from her grandma, As for Xiao Haiwai, her relationship with other elders in the family is actually relatively weak. There is no hatred, but it is true that they are not close to each other.

"Want to stay overnight? I'll prepare a room for you..." Seeing that Lin Xue was sure to stay, Mu You said subconsciously.

Lin Xue shook her head: "No, I want to sleep here tonight. I'm used to this house."

"Then I..." Mu You was about to say, then I'll go to another room.

As a result, Lin Xue predicted his thoughts and interrupted the spell casting in advance.

"...I'm used to having you by my side, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"..."

Mu You was embarrassed. This was no longer a hint, but a clear statement. No matter how slow he was, he knew what it meant.

After thinking about it, Mu You took a breath and walked to sit next to Lin Xue.

"Xiaoxue, I have a question that I need to confirm."

"Yeah. You say."

Lin Xue also put down her comb, turned around and looked at him, smiling and waiting for him to ask.

"Did we have... that kind of relationship before?" Mu You asked, but he couldn't give a specific description, but he believed that Lin Xue could understand it.

"No..." Lin Xue glanced at him and shook her head.

"Isn't it..."

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time there was a hint of indescribable disappointment in his heart.

"...the relationship is one step further than you thought...no, several steps." Lin Xue added the second half of the sentence at this time, while putting one hand on the edge of the table, holding her chin and looking at Mu You with a smile, It was very interesting to watch him in embarrassment.

"Well……"

Mu You was startled, with a strange look on his face. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked tentatively: "Then... what step have we taken?"

"puff!"

Seeing his cautious look, Lin Xue couldn't help but laugh.

"What do you think? For more than two thousand years, there are only two of us in the whole world. Where do you think we have progressed?" Lin Xue asked.

"..." Mu You said he couldn't answer. He couldn't even tell whether Lin Xue was teasing him or serious.

Lin Xue became more serious at this time, took his hand, and said with a smile: "We have gone through many times of growing old together in that realm. You should ask, what else have we not tried?"

"..."

Facing Lin Xue's frankness, Mu You felt a little overwhelmed.

However, after such a conversation, he finally confirmed his relationship with Lin Xue: after two thousand years of getting along day and night, even two stones should melt for each other. They may not be married yet, but their level of intimacy must have far exceeded that of an ordinary couple who could give everything to each other...

"But now that I have lost my memory and forgotten everything about us, will you be sad?" Mu You looked at Lin Xue and asked.

This is what he really wants to ask. They may have loved each other deeply in the past, and their love was equal at that time. But now that he has lost his memory and everything has returned to zero, Lin Xue still maintains that unreserved love for him. I mean, this kind of relationship seems a bit unfair to Lin Xue...

"Of course there will be some sadness."

Some disappointment flashed across Lin Xue's face, and then she shook her head and smiled: "But fortunately, the moment I saw your instinct to protect me, I knew that everything we have experienced is actually okay. It exists in your body. Sooner or later, you will remember it, and I will wait patiently for that day to come. "

"I really wish I could think of it earlier..." Mu You sighed.

"I'm just saying, don't worry."

Lin Xue smiled, stood up, walked to him and sat down, resting her head on his shoulder naturally: "Besides, starting over like this is actually not bad. It reminds me of when we first fell in love. Although it’s green, it’s actually the sweetest time.”

Lin Xue thought of those experiences in the past, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She raised her head and put her red lips on Mu You's face.

Mu You also responded to her naturally, without feeling awkward, everything was an instinctive reaction of the body.

Unfortunately, before their lips touched, a blue goblin suddenly intervened.

Mu Lan's small arms pushed Lin Xue's face, quickly flapped her wings as thin as cicada wings, and tried her best to push her aside. Then she stood on Mu You's shoulders, folded her hands, and stared at Lin Xue angrily. His red face was filled with sullenness.

Mu You and Lin Xue were both stunned when they were suddenly interrupted.

"Sorry, I forgot you were here..."

Lin Xue smiled at the cute look of the little goblin. However, she was not jealous of this cute creature that could not eat the fireworks of the world. Instead, she had a natural maternal desire to protect her. He stretched out his fingers to pinch her and put her down. In the palm of your hand.

"Well, I know, he is your contractor..."

"I won't take him away..."

"But tonight, please lend me your man for a little while, okay?"

Lin Xue relied on her mind-reading skills to communicate with the little goblin who couldn't speak yet.

The little goblin seemed to be even more angry. He clenched his fists and wanted to refuse sternly. However, in the midst of excitement, he suddenly noticed something and froze on the spot, looking at Lin Xue in disbelief.

The newly born goblin is very sensitive to the fluctuations of human emotions, and she just suddenly discovered that Lin Xue's love for Mu You actually exceeds the natural connection between her, the contracted goblin and the contractor, and it is far more than that. If she is Her love is like a lake, while Lin Xue's is like an endless ocean with no end, which is so thick and broad that she can't imagine.

After seeing this clearly, the little goblin suddenly calmed down, looked at Lin Xue with complicated eyes, and reluctantly raised an index finger to her, which meant 'only tonight'.

"Thanks."

Lin Xue smiled, she knew that the little fairy had actually accepted her existence.

The little goblin blushed, and hurriedly flapped its wings and took off without looking back. It fell into a flowerpot not far away, balled up, and turned into a bud in the soil, without any movement.

"Then... let's continue."

Lin Xue looked at Mu You and asked for a kiss from him again.

But still failed.

This time, Mu You took the initiative to avoid it.

Lin Xue glanced at him in astonishment: "Are you hesitating...Are you worried about feeling sorry for me?"

Mu You smiled bitterly: "Reading minds is such an unreasonable ability."

He had almost no privacy in front of Lin Xue, and whatever he thought in his mind would be noticed by her immediately.

Lin Xue took his hand: "Yes, so in exchange, I will also open my heart to you. There are no secrets between us. I will tell you what I think in my heart as soon as possible. If you have anything to ask, You can ask anything.”

Mu You glanced at her: "The wound in your heart... why did you hurt yourself? And you also carved my name..."

When he saw his name engraved on Lin Xue's soul, Mu You's first feeling was not that he was moved, but that he was terrified.

As a result of the Heart of Time journey, he successfully achieved his goal and obtained the divine power of time, and his own memory was reset by the archiver. There was no loss. He didn't even feel any pain during the whole process, as if he had slept. Wake up and get everything.

But it was precisely because he got it so easily that it made Mu You panic, because the time cage is a cage after all, and the rewards and suffering inside should be directly proportional. His relief is because someone has borne the suffering for him.

So Mu You was worried. Could it be that Lin Xue was carrying the burden for him...

Lin Xue felt his state of mind, shook her head, covered her heart and said, "Don't worry, this is not your fault, but my punishment for myself."

"Punishment?" Mu You was confused.

"Yes." Lin Xue nodded and said with some sadness: "I promised to accompany you until the end, but I couldn't do it. I left you there alone for countless years... I even forgot about your existence for a time... …”

When Lin Xue said this, her expression was a little painful: "I can't tolerate this kind of thing continuing to happen, so I dug out your name in my heart. In this way, only you can fill the 'vacancy' in my heart. Once I forget you again, My heart will ache, reminding me to think of you again.”

After hearing this, Mu You looked at Lin Xue even more distressed, feeling ashamed in his heart. How could he be so virtuous and capable of letting Lin Xue do this for him...

Lin Xue shook her head: "Don't think so. What I did for you is just a drop in the bucket compared to what you did for me. If you want to feel guilty, I should feel guilty."

"Xiaoxue, what happened in the time cage?" Mu You couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xue smiled and put her hands around his shoulders: "Don't worry, I will tell you everything, but before that..."

"Tonight, let me make it up to you..."

…

Early the next morning, in the frosty morning mist, the door of the pet shop was opened from the outside. Xiaoya exhaled white breath and walked into the shop carrying large and small bags of breakfast.

Yesterday, Mu You and Lin Xue returned, Xiaoya settled her worries, and after another night of rest, she returned to her usual energetic state.

Xiaoya hummed a song, placed the food on the dining table one by one, and then walked upstairs towards the storage room at the end.

As soon as he went up the stairs, he saw Mu You walking out of the room, stroking his messy hair.

"Ah, good morning, boss!"

Xiaoya smiled: "I bought breakfast, it's downstairs."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Mu You walked past her, yawned and walked downstairs.

Xiaoya walked down the corridor, but as soon as she arrived in front of the bedroom door, Lin Xue just opened the door and walked out, wearing pajamas, looking equally sleepy.

"Ah, Sister Xue, good morning. Breakfast is downstairs!" Xiaoya repeated with a smile.

"Well, thank you..." Lin Xue walked downstairs with her messy hair, and her movements were exactly the same as Mu You.

Xiaoya smiled knowingly at the two of them, and continued to walk forward without thinking too much.

It was not until she reached the door of the storage room that she was stunned, and then she realized it belatedly. She turned back mechanically, staring at the open bedroom door in amazement, and realized something incredible.

...

Half an hour later, at the dining table.

The three of them sat around a table of breakfast.

Xiaoya was dreaming with a cup of milk in her hands, and she looked up from time to time to take a peek, her eyes repeatedly wandering between Mu You and Lin Xue, and her mind was full of random thoughts.

"Oh, is breakfast so rich today?" At this time, Linglong took Mianmian out of the room downstairs and came to the dining table. Seeing the full food on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly sat down to eat.

The little girl dragged a chair and sat down next to Mu You, but she looked listless. She grabbed a fried dough stick and ate it listlessly.

"What, didn't you sleep well?" Mu You noticed the dark circles under the little girl's eyes and felt very strange.

Mian Mian is the type who can fall asleep anytime and anywhere. Her sleep quality has always been envied by everyone. I didn't expect that she would have dark circles under her eyes one day...

When she talked about this, the little girl's face suddenly showed a lingering fear: "Mu You, you should find a magician to come to the house to check the Feng Shui. The house is haunted!"

"Haunted?" Mu You was stunned.

"Yes, last night, it seemed like someone was knocking on the wall in the ceiling. It creaked and shook for most of the night, which made me fall asleep in the second half of the night..." The little girl said in fear.

"Puff..."

The milk that Xiao Ya had just drunk was sprayed back, and she hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe it. Her little face was red. I don't know if she choked.

Linglong smiled mysteriously at this time: "Yes, I heard it too. That ghost is really energetic. I cast a silent spell, but I still couldn't suppress the noise..."

Xiaoya's face turned redder, and she buried her head in the tissue, feeling the wheels of a car rolling over her face mercilessly.

The little girl had a witness, and hurriedly looked at Mu You: "See, I didn't lie!"

"Ahem..."

Mu You raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "It is probably because the neighbors just moved in and are renovating. I will talk to them later."

A small episode at the dinner table did not cause too many waves.

The attention of several people was quickly attracted by Lin Xue.

Lin Xue did not say a word from the beginning of the table, and kept eating.

She ate very elegantly, but very quickly.

At first, no one cared, until they saw her eat three baskets of buns, four rolls, a bowl of mung bean soup, and then reached out to a plate of beef again, and everyone finally realized that something was wrong.

"Xiaoxue, are you... okay?" Mu You looked at her worriedly.

Lin Xue shook her head: "Nothing... I just suddenly feel very hungry..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a "gurgling" sound, proving that she was not just showing off, but was really hungry.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all stopped eating involuntarily, watching Lin Xue eat. The food on the table was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even Linglong, who had the characteristic of gluttony, looked at Lin Xue's victory with a strange look on her face at this moment, and felt like she was willing to admit defeat.

A few minutes later, as the last piece of cake was also taken away by Lin Xue, the food on the table was completely cleared, and 80% of it went into Lin Xue's stomach.

However, Lin Xue still looked unsatisfied at this time, as if she had not eaten enough.

"Or, should I go buy some more?" Xiaoya looked at Lin Xue and asked tentatively.

Lin Xue shook her head: "No, these things don't seem to satisfy my hunger. I want to eat something with more energy..."

"More energy..." Everyone was thinking about what is more energy.

Then Lin Xue rummaged through the ring and took out a bag.

After opening it, it was full of divine crystals.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lin Xue grabbed a handful of crystals from the bag and stuffed them into her mouth. The crystals melted in her mouth and turned into pure energy, without chewing or swallowing.

Then Lin Xue kept putting handfuls into her mouth.

Mu You looked at this scene and felt very familiar. He had eaten divine crystals like this before, but that was to restore the attributes suppressed by the ring. What was going on with Lin Xue?

A minute later, Lin Xue finished the whole bag of crystals, and then without stopping, he actually took out another bag from the ring and continued to eat.

But this time, after eating a few bites, Lin Xue suddenly stopped, covered her mouth, and showed an uncomfortable expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Mu You asked nervously.

Lin Xue didn't have time to answer him, but suddenly stood up and rushed to the bathroom.

A few seconds later, the sound of vomiting came from the bathroom.

"Ah... I'll go take a look!" Xiaoya was closest to the bathroom, so she hurriedly stood up and followed into the bathroom.

As a result, she saw Lin Xue lying in front of the sink and vomiting, but it seemed that she was just retching and didn't vomit anything at all.

"Sister Xue, are you okay?" Xiaoya was at a loss for a moment, thinking that this kind of thing really can't be eaten casually, could it be that there is something wrong with eating it?

After Lin Xue retched for a while, she finally got better, but frowned, as if she realized something, and suddenly reached out and pulled open the top in front of her belly.

Under the clothes, the originally flat belly now bulged with a clear arc... (End of this chapter)
