"It looks great." Chen Xu exclaimed. She always managed to do something that looked magical. I don't know where she got this dress from.

"Thanks."

Yang Jinxia walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of her, she asked curiously, "Where did you get the noodles?"

Noodles were not on the landing ship's inventory. When he said he wanted to make noodles, she thought he was just saying it out of spite and was waiting to see him make a fool of himself. But he actually brought out two bowls of cooked noodles, which was a little beyond her expectations.

Chen Xu said, "Keep it secret."

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." She picked up the chopsticks, tried a bite, and said, "The taste is different."

He explained, "A few ingredients are missing."

Yang Jinxia stopped talking and concentrated on eating the noodles. She hadn't eaten the noodles made by Chen Xu for a long time. Although she didn't say it, she always missed it in her heart.

After the two of them finished eating, Chen Xu was about to clean up the table when he heard Yang Jinxia say, "If I had to ask you to choose one, who would you choose?"

He looked up and saw that she looked calm, as if she was just casually asking a question during a casual conversation.

He put down what he was holding, looked at the bowl in front of him, and said, "I don't want to give up on any of you."

It was the first time he said it so bluntly. He couldn't say it in front of Luo Xiyun, and he couldn't bear to say it to Bai Jinxuan. Only with Yang Jinxia could he really open his heart.

After going through so much, he already knew her quite well.

"Don't want to give up?" Yang Jinxia's fingers gently spun on the armrest, repeated it once, and said, "I think you don't want to choose. You are just avoiding it. Let the three of us choose, and whoever can't stand it first will quit. Then, you can try to save the relationship, and if you fail, you can give yourself an explanation."

Finally, she smiled and said, "This really seems to be your style."

"You don't have to provoke me with these words." Chen Xu was unmoved, "I know exactly what I'm doing."

She sneered, "Do you think that the two of them can't live without you?"

Chen Xu did not respond, mainly because he did not know how to respond.

"Let's make a bet," Yang Jinxia said, "If, one day in the future, they are determined to leave you, you are not allowed to look for another woman."

Chen Xu understood that she said it was a bet, but actually wanted a promise from him, so he said, "I won't let them leave me."

"We'll see." She said, stood up, turned around and went back to the room.

…………

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. In the end, Chen Xu was unable to spend the night in Yang Jinxia's room, so she went offline.

He knew that she did it on purpose as a punishment for him.

Then, he was left alone. In reality, it was around noon, at least until the evening, before they would come online.

In other words, he would be here alone for more than a year, longer than any of his previous dreams. He had already made sufficient mental preparations.

Fortunately, there are cyborgs in the base. At least they have human appearance and can chat with him. With them around, he won't be lonely.

Chen Xu packed his schedule every day and lived a very fulfilling life. However, he dreamed about them every day, counting the days on his fingers and guessing who would come online first.

A year passed quickly.

On this day, he had just come back from outside and was planning to take a good bath. As soon as he entered the living room, he felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw Bai Jinxuan standing there in that tight silver-gray uniform, looking at him with watery eyes.

His heart was shaken, and he rushed over, hugged her in his arms, and said, "You are finally here."

"Um."

………………

In reality, Luo Xiyun and Liu Yumeng finally arrived at the nursing home by car. Just as they were about to ask the guard to open the door, they saw Chen Ziqi running out.

"I'm inside. I received your WeChat message and rushed down to pick you up. Quick."

Chen Ziqi looked anxious, but this time, she didn't look like she was pretending. She came here early in the morning by car, and finally got in to see Chen Xu lying on the bed. She was frightened by the scene.

There were so many instruments beside him, even a ventilator was put on, and an IV drip was hung all the time. The more she looked at it, the more nervous she felt. Acting doesn't have to be so hard, right? The most important thing is that Chen Xu has not woken up, and the IV drip has never stopped.

She tried to wake him up when the nurse was away, but she couldn't wake him up no matter how hard she tried to call or push him. At this moment, she realized that something was wrong, so she asked the nurse and then the doctor, but they still couldn't find out what Chen Xu was.

At this time, she received a WeChat message from Luo Xiyun saying that she had arrived at the sanatorium, so she hurried downstairs to pick her up.

Now, she didn't have to act at all. When she saw Luo Xiyun, she was really about to cry, "You should go see him quickly."

Luo Xiyun followed her all the way inside. Liu Yumeng was wearing high heels and it was difficult for her to catch up. Fortunately, Secretary Guo parked the car and came over to help her.

…………

Arriving at the ward, Luo Xiyun looked at Chen Xu lying on the bed and the instruments beside him, and his head buzzed. His body swayed and he almost fell down.

"Sister Xiyun." Fortunately, Chen Ziqi reacted quickly and supported her. "Are you okay?"

Luo Xiyun calmed down, broke free from her hand, and walked towards the bed. Seeing that Chen Xu was covered with things, she wanted to hold his hand, but saw that there was an IV needle on the back of his hand. She didn't dare to hold it and asked, "He, what's wrong with him?"

Chen Ziqi said, "I don't know either. I asked the doctors and nurses, but they didn't know either."

"What else are you doing here?"

At this time, a voice came from outside the door. Chen Ziqi knew who it was without turning around. When he turned around, it was indeed Yang Jinxia.

Luo Xiyun didn't move or look back, as if he didn't hear anything.

Yang Jinxia walked to the bed, put Chen Xu's other hand back under the quilt, and said, "You have decided to leave him, why are you still here?"

Luo Xiyun finally spoke, "Even if we break up, he and I are still friends."

"You are deceiving yourself."

Luo Xiyun ignored her and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"You should know what disease he has. Didn't you hear any noise when you were sleeping last night?"

Luo Xiyun suddenly remembered the voice that appeared in his mind yesterday. He looked up at her and said, "You mean..." He stopped talking and didn't say the rest.

Yang Jinxia said, "A woman in love will indeed have a lower IQ." Then she turned and left the ward. She had just woken up and had a lot of things to deal with. She happened to hear that Luo Xiyun was here, so she came to take a look.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Liu Yumeng and Secretary Guo.

"Yang, President Yang..." Liu Yumeng seemed a little excited when she saw her.

Yang Jinxia stopped and recognized Secretary Guo. Her eyes stayed on Liu Yumeng for a second. She nodded slightly and left.

Liu Yumeng looked at her leaving figure and exclaimed, "She is even more beautiful than the rumors say."

At this time, Luo Xiyun also came out, looking a little angry, and pulled her and said, "Let's go."

"Sister Xiyun..." Chen Ziqi in the ward chased out and asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

Luo Xiyun didn't want to vent his anger on her, so he held back his anger and said, "Your brother is fine, he just fell asleep. You just need to stay here with him." After that, he left with Liu Yumeng and Secretary Guo.

Leaving behind Chen Ziqi who was a little confused.

PS: I strongly recommend Xia Huaniang’s "I Am Really Immortal", which has more than 1.6 million words and is enough to read for a while.
