Chen Xu sat there motionless, staring at Luo Xiyun, and was a little confused. He originally thought that after being immersed in the dream for thirty years, his heart was as hard as a rock, and nothing could surprise him.
Now he knows that he was wrong.
Obviously out of respect, he didn't do anything to force her will. When he got to her place, he deliberately kept her company.
When he tried to go further, she stopped him severely. Wasn't it hard for him to endure it? It's been almost ten years.
But none of this matters anymore.
Without any explanation, he walked over and picked her up from the stool.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me, um——" She struggled violently, but was interrupted halfway through her words.
Chen Xu held her in his arms and walked straight into the room. He slammed the door shut, leaving a table full of untouched food.
An hour later.
Chen Xu felt a burning pain on his back. He took a mirror from the bedside table and looked at it. He saw several bloody scratches on his back, all of which were made by Luo Xiyun.
"Does it hurt?" Luo Xiyun asked beside her. Her voice was a little hoarse. As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and touched it lightly.
"pain."
"You deserve it." Luo Xiyun said, got up wrapped in a thin sheet, walked into the bathroom, and took out a tube of ointment.
…………
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Or, let's leave tomorrow?" Chen Xu held Luo Xiyun's hand and said reluctantly.
Luo Xiyun looked at him helplessly, "You said so yesterday, and the day before yesterday. It won't work today, I must go."
Chen Xu also knew that she really had to go, so he said, "Then I'll go find you when I wake up."
"Even if you come to see me, I won't see you." Luo Xiyun said, broke free from his hand, and walked towards the life support chamber.
"You can't stop me." Chen Xu did not stop her this time. He watched her lie down in the life support chamber. The lid was closed and gas was injected. She quickly closed her eyes.
Just as the life support chamber slowly reset itself, the light of another life support chamber next to it lit up, which meant that Yang Jinxia was about to go online.
Chen Xu thought to himself, it was a close call. If the two of them had met, who knows what would have happened.
Ten minutes later, Yang Jinxia walked out of the life support chamber. She looked at Chen Xu and suddenly said in surprise, "You seem very happy..."
Chen Xu said, "Of course I'm happy to see you."
"No, it's different." Yang Jinxia came closer, her nose twitched, and she suddenly said, "You finally got her?"
From the way she inhaled, Chen Xu knew that she had discovered the fragrance left by Luo Xiyun on his body, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yang Jinxia smiled faintly and said, "There is a new woman in the house, how could I not feel it? Even if you hide that room, you can't hide it from me. Also, every time I go online, your mood is a little wrong, a little depressed, not reluctant."
Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, "I can't hide anything from you."
Chen Xu knew that she would definitely feel uncomfortable, so he waited until she finished speaking before suggesting, "I'll go back and cook some porridge for you."
Yang Jinxia glanced at him and wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and her heart softened again, "You've been here for so many years, it's time for you to go back."
"Yes, we should go back." Chen Xu felt warm at heart when she said that. He took her hand and said, "I will go back after this year."
Yang Jinxia didn't break free from his hand and said, "Okay, but you are not allowed to sleep in my room for the whole year."
"Ah?" Chen Xu's face turned bitter.
Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "This is for your health. You are almost sixty years old, you need to be moderate."
"no……"
"It's settled." Yang Jinxia walked towards the living area with a happy expression.
Chen Xu shook his head, knowing that she was angry, but he didn't take her words to heart.
After experiencing what happened with Luo Xiyun, the biggest lesson he got was that one should not be too honest, especially when it comes to matters between men and women. Sometimes, your girlfriend just said something in anger, but you took it seriously, and you deserve to be upset.
The next morning, Yang Jinxia, who had recovered, went to the study room with Chen Xu.
Instead of taking her seat, she walked to the lab table, looked at the huge machine on it, and asked, "What is this?"
"Fluidless propulsion engine." Chen Xu said, moving his fingers, and a long robotic arm extended from the side.
Yang Jinxia asked in surprise, "You have advanced the technology to this extent?"
The so-called fluidless propulsion engine is completely different from the traditional jet engine and can be directly propelled by electricity. This is a key step into the interstellar era.
Traditional jet engines need to carry large amounts of chemical fuel, and their range has a limit.
The fluidless propulsion engine only needs to carry a nuclear fusion generator, and the range is completely different. If the thrust is large enough, it is a black technology for the current earth.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "There are too many relevant papers, I can't memorize them all, and with the current level of technology on Earth, it's probably impossible to produce the first generation. I'm just going to accumulate some first, and I'll see whether I should bring it out later or not."
Yang Jinxia glanced at him and said, "You have really changed. In the past, you would definitely not touch such sensitive things for fear of causing trouble."
"For people living in this world, it is a luxury to want to live a stable life. Even the most basic prerequisite, financial freedom, is not something that most people can achieve."
Chen Xu was directing the robotic arm while sighing, "Even if you achieve financial freedom, there are still a lot of troubles. Marrying a wife is one thing. If she doesn't love you, you will be worried. If she loves you too much, you will also be annoyed. Having children is another. Will the children be obedient? Will they be bullied by classmates after going to school? Will their academic performance be good? Will they learn bad things? It's annoying to fall in love early. It's annoying not to find a partner after graduating from college..."
"I'm getting older, my wife is in menopause, and my body is starting to have problems here and there... These troubles will stay with you for the rest of your life."
"If you see all these as troubles, then your life will be really hard. So, be optimistic and don't see these as troubles, but as necessary experiences in life. Have more fun. If you have the ability, do more. Contributing to the country is secondary. The most important thing is to be happy with your own wishes. If you don't like something, just take care of it. If my personal strength is not enough, I will use black technology to knock them all down."
Yang Jinxia's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said, "I'll help you."
