Chapter 285: 285 Various Thoughts Chapter 285: 285 Various Thoughts The train started moving, traveling steadily.

Luo Xiyun sat in her seat, reflecting on the past two months she had spent with Chen Xu, her face turning pale intermittently.

“What’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?” Chen Xu asked with concern from beside her.

Hearing his words, Luo Xiyun didn’t feel reassured; instead, she felt even more stifled.

Chen Xu had changed, so much so that she barely recognized him anymore.

Why hadn’t she noticed sooner?

No, she had realized it, but she thought the changes in Chen Xu were brought about by those two women, and that had made her very upset.

No one knew what Chen Xu used to be like better than she did. He could, because of a single sentence, ignore her for months in a post-apocalyptic environment, stubborn, somewhat chauvinistic, with a temper not exactly pleasant, and he was also not the type to coax people.

But this time, entering the dream, he had changed into a completely different person. The carefulness and thoughtfulness he showed were something he had never displayed before. No matter how cold her demeanor was, the smile on his face never changed.

In the past, with her acting this way, Chen Xu would have gotten angry long ago. Even if he wouldn’t lose his temper at her, he would have met her coolness with an equally icy attitude.

People’s personalities don’t just change overnight. Generally, only after experiencing inner pain can someone gradually change. This, she knew from her own experience.

The transformation in Chen Xu was so drastic it was like he was a completely different person. She couldn’t imagine what kind of severe torment he had gone through inside to become what he was now.

At this thought, Luo Xiyun felt a sharp pain in her heart.

“Why is your face so pale? Are you sick?” Chen Xu asked with some urgency, and without further ado, he reached out to touch her forehead, “I’ll take you to see a doctor.”

…….

“She’s fine, probably just too tired.”

In the medical lab, the only doctor, Feng Lin, had examined Luo Xiyun and said, “Go back and rest well, and she should recover soon.”

Hearing this, Chen Xu was somewhat relieved. Looking at Luo Xiyun, who was lying on the hospital bed still pale, he asked, “Did you sleep poorly last night?”

Luo Xiyun, her eyes fixed on him, shook her head at his question.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Chen Xu finally couldn’t help asking. Since earlier, Luo Xiyun’s gaze had seemed off, somewhat sad, and he found it unusual.

Looking him in the eyes, Luo Xiyun asked, “How did you make it through when you were here alone?”

“Why suddenly ask this?”

“I want to know.”

“Mainly, I was working and studying when I was alone.”

Glad that she was asking about him, Chen Xu was pleased to chat more, “In the beginning, I was training some level one biohumans, only capable of rough tasks, very busy. As long as I was busy, time also flew by very quickly.”

Luo Xiyun then asked, “Did you feel lonely?”

“Sometimes, especially when I was alone and quiet. You know I normally sleep very little, there was a time I nearly had insomnia. But later, I adjusted.”

“Do you feel like you’ve changed?”

Chen Xu was somewhat surprised and said, “Not really, I honestly don’t feel like I’ve changed at all.”

“But since you asked, there must be a reason. Do you think I’ve changed for better, or for worse?”

Luo Xiyun didn’t answer his question but continued, “You’ve been in this dream for over three years, right? How long have you been with them?”

This was the second time today she had brought up Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan, Chen Xu was somewhat puzzled, “Why suddenly ask about this?”

“Can’t you tell me?”

“Not really, probably about seven months.”

During the first year and a half, Chen Xu was so busy he didn’t have time to look for Yang Jinxia and her, and by the time he brought them back, it was time to log off.

A few days later, Bai Tiexuan logged off. Shortly after, Yang Jinxia stayed for about half a month more and then she also logged off.

Later, Bai Tiexuan logged back in and stayed for about half a year. In total, it was about seven months.

Luo Xiyun’s expression changed again, “So, you’ve been here alone for two and a half years…”

At this point, Chen Xu guessed the reasons for her unusual behavior, and smiled, “Actually, it’s nothing. At least there are robots here, and biohumans, to chat with. It’s not like last time when we couldn’t even find an animal.”

Listening to him trying to comfort her, Luo Xiyun felt even worse inside.

Seeing her fall silent, Chen Xu said, “Let me take you back.”

…

After that day, Chen Xu distinctly felt a significant change in Luo Xiyun’s attitude; she wasn’t as aloof as before, and their conversations were more lively and filled with laughter.

This was undoubtedly a huge improvement. It gave him a glimpse of hope.

However, he wasn’t in a rush, planning to proceed steadily.

The previous few dreams lasted about six months, with one even shorter at three months, and didn’t feel as significant. Having spent over three years in this dream, he had become more patient.

In such an environment, he had more time to reflect on his life.

Counting the time spent in dreams, he was now over thirty years old. Having experienced so much, his views on many matters had indeed changed.

Still, he didn’t feel he had changed.

“What’s wrong?”

One afternoon, as they were having lunch, Luo Xiyun noticed Chen Xu set down his chopsticks halfway through eating, and asked.

Chen Xu didn’t hide it from her, “There’s an urgent matter.” A red light on the wall opposite him had lit up; it was a signal from the control center, a red light meant the situation was urgent and he needed to handle it immediately.

Luo Xiyun said, “Then you should go.”

“Yeah, take your time eating.” Chen Xu stood up and left.

Luo Xiyun watched his departing figure, feeling uneasy and losing her appetite. She sat for a while, then stood up and went into the kitchen to cover the food with lids.

Chen Xu had a large appetite, and had only eaten half his meal, he was surely not full yet.

She sat on the couch, clutching a pillow to her chest, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes fixated on the toy pattern on the opposite couch’s pillows, zoning out.

At first, she wondered what it could be. Had a new enemy emerged? Or was there a problem somewhere?

That month, Chen Xu had been spending more and more time with her, only handling base affairs when she was studying. Usually, they were together, mainly chatting.

Chen Xu abruptly leaving halfway through a meal like this was a first, it had to be something urgent.

“Could it be that the two of them have come?”

Suddenly, that thought flashed through her mind, making her heart tighten.

Immediately, she felt that wasn’t right, she was already in a relationship with him, why should it matter if they came?

Plus, if he had company, she could log off.

No, she couldn’t just walk away like that; it would make her seem guilty. Why should she leave? The guilty ones should be them. They were the interlopers, even the fourth person…

These thoughts raced through her mind.
