"Yes, friend." Chen Xu smiled.

This smile made Luo Xiyun feel a little uncomfortable.

"Help me pass the vegetables over." Chen Xu had already turned on the stove. She quickly handed over the basket of vegetables.

The food went into the pot with a sizzling sound.

Luo Xiyun looked at his profile, sweat was flowing from his forehead, he took out a tissue and reached out to wipe it off for him.

"Thank you." Chen Xu turned around and smiled at her.

"……You're welcome."

The dishes were quickly cooked and served on the table. The two of them sat down on the chairs.

"Why so many dishes?" Luo Xiyun wanted to ask just now. Usually there are three dishes and one soup, but today there are several more dishes.

Chen Xu crossed his hands and said, "Today is a special day. It's the sixth anniversary of my entering this dream. It's worth celebrating." After that, he snapped his fingers.

A robot walked in from outside holding a bottle of red wine.

Luo Xiyun looked at it with some curiosity. No robot had ever come in here before. She found that this one seemed different from the ones she had seen before.

The robot walked to the table and placed the red wine on it. Then it stepped back a few steps and saluted Luo Xiyun. When it stood up, a rose suddenly appeared in its hand.

"Thank you." Luo Xiyun took the flowers from its hand with a smile.

The robot then left the stage.

She waved at it, "Goodbye."

"Its hardware configuration is not sufficient, and there is no way to add a language module, so it can't speak," Chen Xu explained.

Luo Xiyun was a little surprised, "Did you do this yourself?"

The robot's movements feel smooth and natural, especially when it puts down the wine, which requires extremely precise control and is not an ordinary skill.

"Well, I made it according to the actual chip level. It can only achieve this level at best." Chen Xu said as he opened the red wine and poured two glasses.

"Here." He raised one of the glasses.

Luo Xiyun picked up his cup, clinked it lightly, took a sip, and put the cup down again.

"Here, try this."

Chen Xu picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. "In the past two years when you were away, I studied recipes in my free time. I learned how to make Dongpo pork during this time. In order to learn this, I even set up a pig farm at the base..."

At the dinner table, most of the time it was Chen Xu who was talking and Luo Xiyun who was listening. She would occasionally interject, but her eyes never left him.

Compared to yesterday, Chen Xu talked more, and his whole spirit seemed different.

This is a welcome change.

What she was most worried about was that Chen Xu would close his heart in such an environment.

He was like that, which frightened her.

She also had some guesses as to why Chen Xu had undergone such a change in just one day.

If there is one biggest difference between this time entering the dream and the previous times, it is that her attitude towards Chen Xu is not as cold as before.

Was it because of her concern that his closed heart reopened? Luo Xiyun looked into his eyes, which were filled with a hint of heat, a look she was familiar with.

Unconsciously, she had drunk quite a bit of red wine. Just now, she heard Chen Xu say that this red wine was brewed by him. The alcohol content was not high and it had a unique taste, perhaps because it grew on this alien planet.

I don't know when the melody of music sounded in the living room. It was a violin piece, with melodious sound and light tune, which brought people a happy mood.

Chen Xu put down his chopsticks, stood up, walked towards her, and stretched out his hand, "Can I ask you to dance with me?"

Luo Xiyun's hesitation lasted only a second before she stretched out her hand and placed it in his palm. He pulled her up and she felt her waist tighten, as if she had been embraced. She couldn't help but follow his steps and began to dance.

Chen Xu had never danced with her before because he had never learned it.

At this moment, she didn't want to know who he learned this from. She just focused on looking into his eyes, enjoying the feeling of being slightly tipsy and dazed...

…………

The next day, when Luo Xiyun woke up, she felt her head a little heavy. She didn't have a high alcohol tolerance, but she had drunk a few glasses of red wine last night, which was more than her usual amount.

She was the only one on the bed, her clothes intact.

Then she pushed him away.

She sat up and looked at the closed door, as if she wanted to see Chen Xu outside through the door - at this time, he must be in the kitchen making breakfast.

“This bastard…”

She took a deep breath and suppressed the inappropriate thoughts in her mind.

She closed her eyes for a while, and when she opened them again, she calmed down, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

After washing up, she changed her clothes and pushed the door open.

Chen Xu was not there, but there were a few breakfast items on the dining table, still steaming.

Such a scene gave her a sense of familiarity.

"Are you angry?"

She walked to the table and sat down, and she was actually somewhat delighted by the thought that came to her mind.

The familiar Chen Xu seemed to be back.

Since entering the dream, except for the first few days, they have eaten breakfast together every day. Now she is the only one left, and she is a little uncomfortable.

She finished her breakfast and washed the dishes before going out.

She did not go to the study room, but to the control center next to it. This was her first time here, and there was a sign hanging above the door. Just as she was wondering how to get in, the door opened automatically as she approached.

Chen Xu was not inside, there were only two cyborgs.

"Madam." When they saw her, they stood up and saluted.

Luo Xiyun felt that this name was a bit harsh. However, she did not correct them. Chen Xu said that they were just like robots, only knowing how to complete tasks, so it was probably useless to say anything.

She asked, "Where is Chen Xu now?"

One of them replied, "Mr. Chen is in the plantation area."

Luo Xiyun felt uncomfortable with the name Mr. Chen, so she asked, "How do we get there?"

“Take the train, enter your destination, and you’ll be where you want to go.”

"Thank you." Luo Xiyun turned and left.

There was a train entrance outside the control center. She had taken this train when she followed Chen Xu to the baby care center.

After entering the train, she stated her destination and two minutes later, she arrived at her destination.

She walked into a door and saw a field of green plants in front of her, which made her feel happy.

"After being used to living in the steel jungle, it must feel completely different to return to nature." Chen Xu's voice came from not far away.

She turned her head and saw Chen Xu bending over about ten meters away, cutting a lettuce in a lettuce field and putting it in a basket on the side.

She walked over and looked at the large vegetable patch in front of her, where all kinds of vegetables and fruits were planted, and asked, "Did you grow all these vegetables yourself?"

"It's fully automatic, so I don't have to do anything. I just need to come over and pick the fruits." Chen Xu put away the knife in his hand, pointed in another direction, and said, "That's the breeding area. They raise pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. No matter what you want to eat, you can find it."

Luo Xiyun said absentmindedly, "I don't know when such technology will be available in reality."

"We can definitely do it in our lifetime." Chen Xu said, picking up the basket, "Do you want me to take you to visit it?"

Luo Xiyun did not answer, but asked, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Chen Xu said, "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I came out to relax."

"Don't forget what you promised me. You shouldn't have done that."

Chen Xu looked at her and said, "You promised that you would never leave me for the rest of your life. Did you do it?"

"That's not the same thing at all."

“To me, that’s the same thing.”
