The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

Xie Linyu lowered his eyes, avoiding her sharp gaze, his voice hoarse: "Because I can't do it."

"What can't you do?"

"I can't accept your kindness with a clear conscience." Xie Linyu raised his head, his blue eyes surging with shame. "Although I am really happy, I am also very panicked. So rather than letting you find out the truth yourself, I'd rather be honest with you. I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I have let you down."

"So, the reason you asked me that day what I would do if I found out someone was lying to me was because of this?" Recalling Xie Linyu's abrupt question that day, everything became clear.

"Yeah, I've been hesitating lately, but saying it out loud today makes me feel a lot better." Xie Linyu chuckled sarcastically. "Gu Jingxiao just said that a lie is ultimately a lie, and I think he's actually quite right."

"Yaoyao, we haven't been matched yet. You can still change your mind. I will respect all your decisions and will not have any objections."

Lu Yao listened quietly, her face expressionless, but her chest rose and fell slightly, revealing that she was not at peace inside.

Are you angry? Of course.

But it wasn't entirely because of Xie Linyu's concealment; he was also angry at Xie Linyu's lack of resolve.

The reason Xie Linyu said this and gave her all the decision-making power was simply because he felt that she accepted him because of her guilt and sympathy towards him.

He never imagined that she would accept him because she liked him.

Even if she initially accepted him out of consideration for his health, her feelings had long since changed as they spent more time together.

"The matching process does need to wait a bit longer." As soon as Lu Yao said this, Xie Linyu's expression visibly fell. She didn't soften her stance. "But this decision isn't entirely because of your concealment and deception of me. What else is there? Xie Linyu, you need to think about it yourself. We'll submit the matching application to the Reproduction Bureau when you've figured it out. Of course, don't make me wait too long, or I'll really be disappointed in you."

After saying this, Lu Yao didn't look at Xie Linyu again, but fastened her seatbelt: "Let's go home."

Xie Linyu's eyes widened suddenly at her words, filled with disbelief and a sense of relief: "Yaoyao, you...you're really willing to give me a chance?"

"I can accept the reasons you kept it from me, but there's one thing I can't accept. So, Xie Linyu, until you understand the problem, I haven't fully forgiven you."

"I understand, I will find it, Yaoyao, I will not let you down again." Xie Linyu wanted to reach out and hug her, but when he reached out, he was worried that he would offend Lu Yao, so he forcibly pulled his hand back, and thus did not see the fleeting disappointment in Lu Yao's eyes.

What she wanted was Xie Linyu's unwavering affection, not his timid and hesitant actions out of fear that she might not like him.

That would make her feel that he had never truly believed she liked him.

She told him many times that being with him was not out of guilt or pity, but he never seemed to believe her.

She thought that the promises she made to him were enough to make him feel secure, but now it seems that he never truly believed them.

Disappointed? Yes, I was.

If Xie Linyu really can't find the problem this time, she will give up on him completely.

She doesn't need a lover who doesn't believe in her.

When they got home, Fu Ciyan was actually there. His gaze swept over the two of them, finally landing on Lu Yao, and his brows furrowed slightly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

He keenly sensed that Lu Yao's emotions were off, even though the young girl was pretending to be calm.

However, after spending so much time with Lu Yao, he still managed to immediately sense that something was wrong with her emotions.

He glanced coldly at Xie Linyu.

He knew exactly where the problem lay.

Lu Yao walked up to him, gently shook her head, and then leaned against him: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Fu Ciyan reached out and put his arm around her. He didn't ask any more questions, but simply pulled her closer to him and gently patted her back. "Then let's go back to our room and rest for a bit."

Xie Linyu stood at the door, watching this scene, a subtle, persistent pain rising in his chest.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head dejectedly and watched Fu Ciyan leave with Lu Yao without saying anything.

He has neither the right nor the standing to comfort Lu Yao.

Back in the room, Fu Ciyan had Lu Yao sit on the bed, while he squatted down in front of her, looking up at her slightly: "What did Xie Linyu do?"

He knew very well that Lu Yao was going to take Xie Linyu for a physical examination today, and then go to the Bureau of Reproduction to apply for a second match.

If you look at the time, they came back too early.

So something must have happened that disrupted their plans. Considering their strange expressions, the problem must lie with Xie Linyu.

Lu Yao reached out and wrapped her arms around Fu Ciyan's neck, hugged him, and slowly told him about the things Xie Linyu had kept from her.

Fu Ciyan listened quietly without offering any of his own opinions.

Even if he really wanted to beat Xie Linyu up right now, he had to comfort Lu Yao first.

"So, you're not angry that he hid this from you, you're angry that he questioned your feelings, right?"

She didn't express it that way, but Fu Ciyan understood her.

Lu Yao nodded, her eyes red: "Yes, from the very beginning, he thought I would negate everything I've done during this time because of this incident, and he never believed I would forgive him. I told him to think it through, and if he couldn't, I didn't want to forgive him anymore!"

Although Lu Yao's last words were filled with emotion, Fu Ciyan believed she would do them.

The reason for this period of time was not only to give Xie Linyu a chance, but also to give Lu Yao time to desensitize herself.

He had always known that Lu Yao was not the type to overthink things, and she rarely regretted her decisions; she was able to take things in stride and let them go easily.

However, Xie Linyu didn't seem to understand.

This may be related to his experience of being rejected during his first match. Subconsciously, he always lacks self-confidence and always feels that Lu Yao is with him not because of simple liking.

"You did a great job, Yaoyao. Don't forgive him so easily." Fu Ciyan gently patted her head. "You need to make him understand that your feelings are pure and deserve to be firmly trusted and reciprocated. If he can't even understand this, then he really doesn't deserve you, and it's right for him to give up on you."

Lu Yao's originally anxious heart was soothed by Fu Ciyan's few words, and she nodded in his arms.

After Fu Ciyan coaxed Lu Yao to sleep, he got up and left the bedroom, then knocked on Xie Linyu's door across the hall.

Xie Linyu opened the door and looked at Fu Ciyan standing outside: "What's up?"

"Come to the basement level." After saying that, Fu Ciyan took the lead and walked downstairs, not giving Xie Linyu a chance to refuse.
