After staring at Su Jinyan for a few seconds, Xia Linyin silently took the bowl, scooped up some porridge, and put it in her mouth.
Watching Xia Linyin feed the porridge to her lips, her soft, pale pink lips glistening with moisture, Su Jinyan suppressed the urge to kiss her again, quietly waiting for her to finish the porridge before putting her back on the bed.
Just as Su Jinyan was pondering how to help Xia Linyin recover, to his surprise, Xia Linyin was fully recovered the next day.
She ate and drank as usual, shaking off her listlessness and throwing herself wholeheartedly into training. She worked hard and seriously, and occasionally she would crack a joke with someone and then laugh heartily.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about that virtual character.
However, her hard work in training was alarming; she trained relentlessly, pushing herself to exhaustion every day.
She was using this method to prevent herself from having any extra energy to think about anything. When the physical fatigue and soreness overshadowed everything, perhaps the pain in her heart wouldn't be so great.
Su Jinyan thought this was for the best. If things continued this way, slowly, one day, Xia Linyin would truly forget Li Luo and bury the name Li Luo deep in her heart, sealing it away.
Xia Linyin truly never mentioned that name again. She seemed to have slowly healed her inner wounds and moved on from this relationship that was impossible to be together in the first place.
Life goes on, and no one is indispensable.
But one day, when Su Jinyan heard Xia Linyin calling out that name tenderly in her sleep with tears streaming down her face, she realized that she had been wrong from the very beginning.
When Xia Linyin first entered the training base, she felt like someone who had heard that her lover had contracted a deadly infectious disease. Her lover was isolated, and she couldn't see him. She was worried, afraid, and uneasy, but there was nothing she could do.
Not knowing what to do, she couldn't concentrate on anything; her heart and eyes were filled with her lover.
But one day, someone told her that her lover's illness could be cured, and that soon her lover would be able to recover and meet her again.
Excitement, joy, and gratitude filled her with a sense of purpose and hope for the future. Her body was infused with boundless energy, and she eagerly awaited the day she would meet her beloved.
However, all of this ended when she was told that her lover had died after a failed surgery. In that instant, she fell from heaven to the bottom of the abyss, her hope shattered, and all that remained was deep despair.
However, she did not appear as devastated as she had been when she first heard that her lover had contracted a deadly infectious disease. She quickly composed herself and rallied.
Everyone else thought she had come to her senses, but in fact, the moment she rallied, she made her decision with a do-or-die determination.
Without wallowing in self-pity or self-pity, she did everything she was supposed to do, leaving no regrets, and then, calmly and happily, went to find her lover.
After figuring this out, Su Jinyan stayed by Xia Linyin's side even more closely, but to his surprise once again, Xia Linyin did not show any such intentions.
Even after the decisive battle against the insectoid beasts, Xia Linyin continued to actively engage in the subsequent urban reconstruction work.
Su Jinyan gradually relaxed. He wouldn't do anything inappropriate to Xia Linyin, but he would subtly and gradually infiltrate her life, making her used to his care.
Like a spider spinning fine threads, slowly weaving a large net that leaves its prey with nowhere to escape.
Su Jinyan thought that he must be the most patient hunter in the world.
When Xia Linyin starts to feel uneasy and uncomfortable because he's not around, it'll be time to close the net.
He always stood where Xia Linyin could see him as soon as she turned her head, giving her all his tenderness and consideration without complaint.
Years later, when Xia Linyin uttered those words—
"Jinyan, let's be together."
Su Jinyan hugged Xia Linyin tightly and whispered a single word in her ear, "Okay."
Without a doubt, Su Jinyan is an excellent partner who is flawless.
His indulgence and pampering of Xia Linyin would make every woman in the empire envious.
He possessed power, status, wealth, and unparalleled good looks, yet he ignored the men and women who flocked to him, devoting himself solely to one person and giving her a tenderness that no one else could ever share.
"Linyin, do you love me?" Holding Xia Linyin's face, Su Jinyan gazed into her eyes and asked.
Xia Linyin smiled faintly, without answering Su Jinyan's question. Just as Su Jinyan was about to feel disappointed, she spoke up, "Jinyan, let's get married."
His eyes, which had dimmed, brightened again. Su Jinyan looked at Xia Linyin, and after a long while, he nodded solemnly, "Okay."
Su Jinyan hired the world's top designer to design Xia Linyin's wedding dress, using the finest fabrics, the most expensive gemstones, and the most exquisite craftsmanship.
As the curtain was drawn back and streams of light poured down, everything around Xia Linyin, standing in the center, wearing a starry dress and a flower crown, paled in comparison when she turned around.
Her trailing skirt shimmered with a soft light, making her appear as if she were standing above the Milky Way, outshining all others and possessing an indescribable beauty.
Su Jinyan's eyes were only on that one person. He walked step by step closer to his bride. When he reached Xia Linyin, a surge of emotion welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug Xia Linyin tightly.
He, who had always been calm and composed, uttered those three passionate words: "I love you."
Su Jinyan felt his eyes stinging. He closed his eyes tightly, holding back his tears. "I love you, Lin Yin."
Xia Linyin wrapped her arms around Su Jinyan's strong arms, smiled, and gently replied, "Mmm."
Then he plunged a hard, sharp weapon into Su Jinyan's heart, and sat down on the ground, holding him as he slowly collapsed.
The handsome groom lay on the beautiful bride's lap, a sharp weapon gleaming coldly protruding from his chest. Blood stained the bride's slender white hands and her priceless long dress.
Xia Linyin gently stroked Su Jinyan's face, looked into his shocked eyes, and said with utmost tenderness, "Jinyan, I know everything."
“I overheard your conversation with Su Yu. You killed Xiao Li.”
