"Why?"
Mo Xi asked Li Su'er, somewhat confused as to why Li Su'er had such thoughts.
“I think that as Chen Liu’s mother and Chen Yang’s ex-girlfriend, you should join the Micro World.”
Mo Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you worried about the relationship between Chen Yang and me?"
“I’m a little worried,” Li Su’er said, “but I like you a lot. And I think I should have faith in Chen Yang. I don’t really want to admit it, but I admire you a bit. You’ve led Chen Liu to this level of success all by yourself, and you’ve still managed to maintain such a good attitude.”
Mo Xi gave a wry smile and said, "To be honest, I have a lot of confidence in him too, which is why I don't want to have too much contact with him. I'm actually less confident in myself. I'm just putting on a brave face. So, are you sure?"
Li Su'er's determined gaze instantly crumbled, revealing a bitter face: "Why did you say that? I was just thinking how handsome I was, but now I'm completely devastated. What should I do?"
Mo Xi smiled slightly. She understood why Chen Yang was with the girl in front of her. Perhaps Li Su'er was indeed more suitable than herself. At least, she felt that if Li Su'er faced the same choice as she had back then, this seemingly clever but naive girl would choose to stay without hesitation.
At the time, Mo Xi thought the decision to stay was naive and immature, and it still seems so now. If it weren't for Chen Liu, she might not have regretted it.
But sometimes Mo Xi would think that it would be great if she could be a little more childish.
“If you’re still willing, I’ll join you,” Mo Xi said.
"Yay!" Chen Liu cheered as he ran out. "Mom's joining us!"
Li Su'er looked at Chen Liu and said, "Don't forget your mother Su'er just because you have a mother now."
Since she said that, it means she's willing. Chen Liu was also a major reason why Li Su'er made this decision; she didn't want Chen Liu to only have her, Su'er's mother, in the micro-world in the future.
"Don't worry, Su'er's mom, your position is irreplaceable. Unless I cook better than you someday, but I think that day will never come."
Li Su'er asked curiously, "Mo Xi, why don't you make breakfast tomorrow? I'm curious to see what kind of flavor you can make."
Mo Xi nodded and said, "Okay, what I made isn't bad, it's just tasteless, milk and sandwiches."
Li Su'er nodded. Milk and sandwiches really don't require much cooking skill; you just need to put the ingredients on. The taste is alright, but eating like this year after year would be unbearable.
"Tomorrow I'll teach you a few tricks that Chen Liu will definitely like, and they're easy to use."
"Okay," Mo Xi said with a smile.
Women's thinking is indeed very strange. As long as they recognize each other, they can instantly become close friends, which is very different from men's friendships.
After Chen Yang waited in the micro-world for more than an hour, Li Su'er finally entered.
"Alien Yang, let's hurry back to camp, shall we? I have a surprise for you when we get there."
"What?"
"I won't tell you, it's going to be a surprise... or maybe a shock, but more likely a surprise."
Chen Yang wasn't a very curious person. He would ask questions if he could, and if he couldn't, he would let it go. This frustrated some people who wanted to play hard to get with him.
They had traveled some distance during the night, so they were now much closer to the camp. Although the horses were carrying heavy loads, they were able to spot the camp on the horizon at dusk.
By the time they arrived at the camp, it was completely dark, but no one was asleep. Everyone who knew they would be at the camp that day was waiting for the two to return.
"Oh, our newlyweds are back from their honeymoon," Wang Bing said with a smile.
"Steward Wang, if your 'oh' were any sharper, the title of steward would be truly fitting," Tang Jiaqi complained.
“I think so too,” Linglong agreed.
Wang Bing had learned to ignore these two idiots. He and Chen Yang helped remove the barley from the horses' backs, and the two horses were finally freed. Xu Meng rewarded them with a good meal, including licorice and fruit.
"By the way, Chen Yang, do you know a girl named Ye Yan? She made a reservation a few days ago and came to check into the inn today. She said she knew you two and wanted to give you a surprise, but neither of you are here."
"Ye Yan?" Chen Yang was taken aback, then said, "That's right, we know each other. She's a girl I met in Australia."
Then he looked at Li Su'er and asked, "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"
Chen Yang was a little puzzled. What was so surprising about this?
Li Su'er shook her head repeatedly and said, "Of course not, I didn't know Ye Yan was coming to the inn."
Chen Liu walked over at this moment and said, "Su'er's mother wants her to come in."
The air fell silent as soon as Chen Liu uttered these words.
Everyone knows who Chen Liu's mother is, which means Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend is coming over. And because of Chen Liu, Mo Xi's status is practically on par with an ex-wife, let alone just an ex-girlfriend.
"A bloody storm is about to break out. I hope I can survive it," Linglong sighed.
She and Mo Xi were very familiar with each other, so of course she knew how powerful Mo Xi was. Mo Xi's nickname "Jade Exquisite" wasn't given lightly; even she, the real "Exquisite," didn't have that nickname.
"What nonsense are you all thinking? I was the one who wanted Mo Xi to come in. I think Chen Liu should have a real mother in the Micro World. And Mo Xi and I have already reached a consensus."
"Consensus?" Now it was Chen Yang's turn to be in a bind.
He understood Mo Xi's personality and knew she wouldn't have any intention of harming Li Su'er. Since the two had reached a so-called "consensus," it must be aimed at him.
"Chen Yang, your days are numbered," Ye Wu said, patting Chen Yang on the shoulder.
Chen Yang was also quite helpless and said to Li Su'er, "Are you going to use your spot to let Mo Xi in?"
"Yes, you disagree?"
“I respect your choice. You trust me so much, so what else can I say? If you want Mo Xi to come in, wait a few days and then use my spot. Your spot can be reserved for Chen Liu’s younger brother or sister. That would be more meaningful for you.”
Li Su'er chuckled and nodded in agreement.
Ding Qihan said speechlessly, "Sometimes I really don't understand you guys. It was so complicated for me to buy a spot back then, and now you guys are still giving it away."
"I feel happy every time I see you rich guys get your comeuppance," Ye Wu said.
"Because you're poor," Ding Qihan said, and it made such a good point that Ye Wu couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Chen Yang, you'll be back tomorrow, right? I'll book a room now and have my mom come over. It should be about four days."
Chen Yang nodded, indicating that it was no problem. His spot was almost up, and he would let the newcomer come in with him. He planned to observe Ye Yan for another two days, and if she was suitable, he would let her in as well.
He also needed to think about the items he could bring into the Microverse. As for items to take out of the Microverse, there wasn't much to consider. The baby thylacine was about to be born, so he would bring the baby thylacine, and then see what others needed to bring.
Chen Yang wasn't too bothered by these things; what bothered him was how to face Mo Xi after she came in.
