For the rest of the day in the micro-world, Chen Yang and the others spent their time dealing with Apple.
They collect honey to make jam, slice and dry the apples to make dried fruit, and even luxuriously squeeze them in bamboo tubes to collect the juice for drinking. They go to great lengths to consume these apples and avoid waste.
In the micro-world, any wasteful behavior is shameful.
Even Li Su'er and Guo Zifeng's daughter, Guo Xinyi, came to help.
"Alien Yang, where are you now?" After all the apples were processed in the evening, everyone finally had some free time. Li Su'er walked up to Chen Yang and asked in a low voice.
"Why are you being so well-behaved today?" Chen Yang was quite surprised. Li Su'er had changed her usual carefree personality and was speaking very gently today.
Li Su'er shook her head and said, "No, I'm perfectly normal."
"I'm in Shanghai, I'll be back tomorrow night," Chen Yang said.
"Shanghai? What are you going there for?" Li Su'er asked curiously, then seemed to remember something, "Isn't Mo Xi in Shanghai?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I just went to her to confirm some things."
Li Su'er understood why she had been feeling anxious these past two days. She suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, her heart was heavy, and she wanted to cry but couldn't.
After all that shamelessness and relentless pursuit, was it really no match for his past feelings? Is it really that hard to forget a first love? But Chen Yang was also my first love.
Of course, she ruled out the boy next door who was in first grade and whom she liked in kindergarten.
"What? You think I want to get back together?" Chen Yang suddenly asked.
"Isn't that right?" Li Su'er looked up at her, her nose was a little red, and her eyes were a little moist.
Chen Yang silently shook his head, then stood up and said to the others, "Excuse me, Su'er and I have something to discuss. Could you all please leave first? Also, Dad, don't overthink it, and don't tell Mom. I'll tell you all."
The group exchanged glances. Chen Tianming patted his son on the shoulder, said nothing, and withdrew. Wang Qin and Guo Xinyi also withdrew decisively.
What do you want to say?
Li Su'er was extremely nervous. She didn't know what Chen Yang wanted to tell her. If it was about getting back together with Mo Xi, there was no need to hide it from others. Could it be...?
She dared not speculate further, fearing that the greater her expectations, the greater her disappointment would be. Therefore, she could only obediently wait for Chen Yang to speak.
But Chen Yang seemed unhurried, pointing to a stone beside the fire and saying, "Sit down."
Li Su'er sat silently on the rock, not even looking up at Chen Yang.
"I'm not used to you being so obedient," Chen Yang said with a wry smile.
“But…” Li Su’er hesitated, “I’m very nervous right now.”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's murmur, and Chen Yang only caught the word "people".
In the past, Li Sen was the one who used this word most often, while Li Su'er usually used "I" or "old lady". Tonight, she really seemed like a different person.
"Su'er," Chen Yang called out, and Li Su'er looked up at him.
You like me, right?
Li Su'er blushed, stomped her foot in embarrassment and said, "Isn't that obvious..."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "I'm not a blockhead. A lovely girl like you has been pursuing me for so long, of course I'd be moved. Counting the time in the micro-world, we've known each other for more than half a year now. To be honest, I like you too. Not in a friendly way."
Li Su'er looked up in surprise, her eyes shining brightly.
"real?"
This was the first time Chen Yang had so clearly told her that he "liked" her, and he even emphasized that it wasn't the kind of liking one has for a friend.
"If not, do you think I would accept your occasional attempts to take advantage of me?" Chen Yang retorted.
Upon careful consideration, Li Su'er realized that this was indeed the case. Chen Yang maintained a polite distance from the other girls in the camp. Even when the outgoing Lini and the neurotic Tang Jiaqi were joking around with Chen Yang, he always kept a certain distance and never went too far.
Chen Yang is a great friend, but taking things to the next level is incredibly difficult. Li Su'er has doubted her own charm many times; back in school, she had countless suitors.
"Really!" Chen Yang confirmed.
Just as Li Su'er was about to jump up excitedly, she suddenly remembered something and asked softly, "So what did you go to Shanghai to find Mo Xi this time?"
"To finalize some things and settle some others along the way," Chen Yang said.
"What is it? Can you tell me?" Li Su'er asked tentatively.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I asked you to stay so I could tell you something. Su'er, I have a question for you."
Li Su'er nodded gently, looked at Chen Yang, and prepared to hear his question.
"If I already had a son, would you still date me?" Chen Yang asked.
A gust of wind blew by, and the flames suddenly burst into flames. The red-hot firewood crackled and sparks flew everywhere, just like Li Su'er's current mood.
"You...you've been married?" she asked incredulously.
Chen Yang shook his head, not intending to let Li Su'er guess anymore, and said directly: "Mo Xi left me back then because she wanted to take over the company, but at that time, neither of us knew that she was already pregnant. Later, she secretly gave birth to the child without telling me, and I only found out recently."
Li Su'er's heart was in turmoil at this moment. She never thought that what was in front of her was a plot that even she found a bit melodramatic. It could be made into a hundred-episode TV series.
"I understand you need to digest this properly to avoid indigestion. I'll let you know the next message later."
"What news?" Li Su'er asked instinctively.
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Didn't I say I'd tell you later? Come on, have a glass of water and some jerky first."
Li Su'er took the teacup and dried meat blankly, ate a couple of bites, and then asked, "What news?"
Chen Yang was speechless and could only say, "I confirmed with Mo Xi this time. She accidentally left her wallet behind when she came to the inn last time. Ye Wu found a photo of her and the child. Then Ye Wu took it upon himself to bring the child into the Micro World without my knowledge and lied to me that the child was his nephew. His purpose was to have my child grow up by my side, but he also had grievances against Mo Xi and did not want me to get back together with Mo Xi, so he lied."
Chen Yang explained it very clearly, and Li Su'er heard it very well.
She opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say. It seems this TV series could be extended by another hundred episodes.
"You mean... Chenliu is..."
Chen Yang nodded, "That's right, the reason I went to Shanghai this time was to confirm this matter. Chen Liu is indeed my child."
Li Su'er murmured, "No wonder. I was wondering why he was such a genius. Turns out he's an alien too."
Chen Yang smiled wryly. He didn't intend to hide the excuse of aliens from Li Su'er anymore. It was easier to explain aliens to others, but there was no need to explain it to his closest person.
The premise is that Li Su'er can become his closest person, so he plans to discuss this issue later.
“Su’er, ambiguity is not a state I like. This time I went to Shanghai and confirmed that I do still have feelings for Mo Xi, but I can be sure that I no longer love her. So, I don’t plan to drag it out any longer. Although this may be difficult for Chen Liu to accept, I don’t want to give little Chen Liu any extra thoughts. That will only make it harder for him to accept in the future.”
After speaking, Chen Yang paused for a moment, then looked directly at Li Su'er and said:
"Now, are you still willing to date me, Su'er?"
This is an extra chapter. I know many readers are probably furious after reading this, and to the friend who said they wanted to see Mo Xi and Chen Yang together, I saw that, but I didn't know how to reply to you. Anyway, this is what I wrote. If you don't accept it, there's nothing I can do. I will cater to readers' preferences, but I will still stick to my own writing style.
