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

When Fu Ciyan saw Lu Yaofa's message, he wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he felt a sense of relief.

Having spent so much time with Lu Yao, he had long since realized that beneath her seemingly tough exterior lay a very soft heart.

Xie Linyu was injured while protecting her, and she would never remain indifferent.

Making this decision now must have taken a lot of effort for Lu Yao. Even at this time, she didn't forget to consider his feelings and arranged for Xie Linyu to be matched after the matchmaking period so as not to make him sad.

How could he be willing to let go of such a gentle person?

【I respect all your decisions. I've said before that I won't mind anything you're willing to do. But Lu Yao, when you feel sorry for Xie Linyu, can you also feel sorry for me? I don't want to end our matchmaking. I want to be with you long-term. Have you considered it?】

After Lu Yao sent the message, she wondered what Fu Ciyan's reply would be, but she didn't expect that Fu Ciyan would want to be tied to her for a long time.

In that case, whether or not one accepts Xie Linyu has nothing to do with the matching period.

Fu Ciyan's meaning was clear: she could accept Xie Linyu, but she couldn't break up with him.

Realizing this, Lu Yao blushed.

She was supposed to think about it, but Fu Ciyan didn't give her a chance to think about it at all. After all, he had said that when she felt sorry for Xie Linyu, she should also feel sorry for him.

And her heart did indeed lean more towards him.

In this way, the problem seems to have returned to its starting point...

Don't rush to reply to me, we still have time. Don't worry too much about Xie Linyu. If his mental fortitude isn't strong enough, I'll arrange for a psychologist for him. His problems shouldn't be a source of your distress.

Upon seeing the last sentence, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile. No matter what, Fu Ciyan always gave people a strong and reliable feeling.

I understand, I will think about it carefully.

【Hmm, don't overthink it. Even if you accept Xie Linyu now, given his current situation, he can't do anything; you can even skip the daily tasks.】

Upon seeing the last sentence Fu Ciyan sent, Lu Yao's eyes widened suddenly. She could see the sarcasm Fu Ciyan was using towards Xie Linyu in his message, but it was also the truth!

Strangely, it actually eased Lu Yao's psychological burden.

When Lu Yao returned, Director Wang had already finished filming three scenes. It was almost noon, and everyone was resting and waiting for lunch.

Lu Yao decided to take this time to tell Xie Linyu about her decision.

When Xiao Chen saw her coming, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go see if the food has been delivered. You two chat."

After saying that, he very tactfully ran away.

Xie Linyu handed her a bottle of water and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Lu Yao took the water, but didn't drink it; she just held it in her hand and looked at Xie Linyu, who had recovered. She sat down in the chair next to him and said, "I was just thinking about it. Xie Linyu, if you don't mind Fu Ciyan's existence, let's give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yao clearly saw the obvious shock in Xie Linyu's deep blue eyes.

He tightened his grip on the water bottle, making a slight "click" sound.

"Do you know what you're saying? If it's pity, I don't need it."

Although he said this, his gaze was fixed intently on Lu Yao's face, as if he wanted to see her predicament and her willingness to compromise. However, Lu Yao smiled, her eyes clear, showing no sign of grievance or distress.

"I knew you'd say that. You're nothing to pity, but I do have to tell you that right now I don't feel the same way you do for me. But I'll try, and we'll have a long future together."

Lu Yao paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, I'm not lying to you. The reason I accepted you is because I followed Dr. Gu's advice. He said it would help your recovery and was the most effective and safest solution, so I wanted to give it a try."

"As for Fu Ciyan, you don't need to worry. I've already spoken to him. He respects my choice, so you can consider it."

After saying that, Lu Yaochong smiled at him.

Xie Linyu could tell that Lu Yao had shown him enough sincerity by telling him everything frankly, but he would rather she hadn't been so frank.

This only highlights how dirty his heart was in deceiving her.

Even so, he still wanted to try: "Will you regret it?"

Lu Yao shook her head: "I don't usually regret things easily, and there's nothing to regret. You're good-looking, capable, and have a good family background. To be honest, I'm the one who got the better deal."

Xie Linyu looked at her reddened ears and knew that she was not as calm as she appeared.

"Then let's give it a try," Xie Linyu said, reaching out to grasp Lu Yao's hand. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Lu Yao blushed but didn't pull her hand away, though she was also a little uncomfortable: "...There's something else."

"Go ahead," Xie Linyu said, his gaze incredibly tender, as if he would pluck the stars from the sky if Lu Yao said she wanted them.

"Well... um, are you still going to stay at my house?" Lu Yao suddenly realized that it wouldn't be good to kick someone out so soon after they got together, but she and Fu Ciyan were still in the matching period and couldn't break up. In fact, she wasn't very clear about how she should arrange things for Xie Linyu after they got together.

Should we go to the Reproduction Bureau and complete the matching procedures with Xie Linyu?

She was unaware of any of this and was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she could only search for it later when she had some free time.

"Was it requested by Fu Ciyan?" Xie Linyu immediately became alert.

"No, no, it's just that I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable living at home. Also, Fu Ciyan and I are still in the matching phase, and you should know that we both have matching tasks to complete every day, so we can't be apart. So, in that case..."

"So where do you plan to place me? Are you planning to have an affair with me while Fu Ciyan is away?"

"What cheating? No way! Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, in your current situation, right? You can't do anything... Fine, if you want to stay, then stay. Whatever makes you happy." Lu Yao felt that she was getting more and more confused, so she simply gave up and let things be.

Xie Linyu chuckled. He understood what Lu Yao meant. She was afraid that he and Fu Ciyan would feel awkward and unable to get along if they lived under the same roof.

"Don't worry, what you're worried about won't happen. Whether it's me or Fu Ciyan, we will respect your choices regarding people and things."

Lu Yao's little secret was exposed, and her cheeks flushed. Just as she was wondering what to say, Xiao Chen returned with three lunches.

"Brother Xie, Teacher Lu Yao, dinner's ready!" Xiao Chen placed two meals in front of Lu Yao and Xie Linyu respectively.

After thanking her, Lu Yao opened the lunchbox, and for some reason, her stomach churned, and she couldn't help but gag.

Her reaction startled Xie Linyu and Xiao Chen.

Xie Linyu quickly got up and went to her side, gently patting her back: "What's wrong, Yaoyao? Are you feeling unwell?"
