Did the world end today?

Chapter 107 Showdown? This isn't a confession, is it?
An hour later, Lin Xu returned to his residence.

He lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

His mind is confused.

He knew he had to confront Jiang Xingye.

If there was any reason for keeping things under wraps and not confronting her before, there's really only one.

And the only one.

The couple's relationship problems.

In fact, Lin Xu had always felt that his feelings for Jiang Xingye came about somewhat inexplicably.

It's as if, without knowing when it started, their relationship suddenly became much better.

Then came a period of rapid development.

Even now, while it can't be said that the two have fully entered the "pre-relationship ambiguous period," to be honest, their relationship has far surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Therefore, Lin Xu himself also had concerns.

On the one hand, considering the bigger picture, he worried that after he confronted Jiang Xingye, their relationship would undergo a qualitative change, which would lead to a change in the higher-dimensional influence formed through her, thereby further affecting the efficiency of his work.

On the one hand, from a personal perspective, he was genuinely worried that his so-called feelings for Jiang Xingye were merely a subconscious influence.

What if she wasn't actually being special to her, but rather a voice from the future subtly telling her that she needed to get close to this man named Lin Xu?

If that's the case, when the mystery is solved, their relationship will basically be over, right?
Although they will continue to interact and cooperate in various ways, there is no doubt that the two can no longer, and should not, continue to be, lovers.

When emotions are manipulated, hidden dangers are sown deep within.

Lin Xu was well aware that there was no room for a "Zhuang Yan" in this world.

So, he was genuinely a little reluctant to part with it.

He didn't know what Jiang Xingye's feelings were for him, but he did have some special feelings for Jiang Xingye.
-

But even so, the moment has come when a decision must be made.

Butterflies, killer bees, pollen.

These three elements are interconnected and clearly influence the efficiency of human beings in utilizing higher-dimensional space at a specific level.

He had to let Jiang Xingye, who existed as "pollen," know the truth, and he also had to get her to cooperate with him to verify the true function of "pollen."

tomorrow.

Let's do it tomorrow.

Lin Xu closed his eyes.

Overwhelmed by exhaustion, he inexplicably fell asleep.
The next day, when Lin Xu woke up, it was already broad daylight.

He first glanced down at the bracelet; after a night's rest, the number on it had returned to "2".

It's probably because my sleep was interrupted in the middle of the night, which prevented my energy from recovering quickly.

But it's alright, at least I had two chances.

Lin Xu got out of bed, took out his phone and checked the time; it was already noon.

Jiang Xingye's message had been sent on WeChat for over half an hour.

"Didn't you come to the office today? Are you coming back for lunch?"

"Are you going to eat lunch or not? Are you going to eat lunch later?"

Want to order takeout?

[Emoji: Knocking]

[Emoji: Knocking]

She guessed she had been waiting for her reply for quite a while.

Lin Xu then recalled the sentence Jiang Xingye had written in the document he sent to him in the bracelet world.

"I didn't expect you to show up at this time."

Why do I feel so sorry for her?

What kind of futuristic version of the Waiting-for-Husband Stone is this?!

Lin Xu shook his head and typed a reply:
"Eat, wait for me a little longer, I'll call you when I get to the company."

"OK!"

Jiang Xingye replied almost instantly.

After putting down his phone, Lin Xu took a shower in the bathroom, and unusually tidied his hair and put on a relatively decent set of clothes.

He's not going to confess his feelings today.

However, this was a very important day for both Jiang Xingye and himself.

Therefore, there's nothing wrong with taking it seriously.

With everything prepared, he took out his secure phone and sent a message to Qin Feng asking for a car. Qin Feng replied immediately, and when he came downstairs, a car with white license plates was already waiting outside the door.

Qin Feng was already seated in the car. Lin Xu chatted with him briefly about the progress of Zhou Yue's interrogation. After confirming that there wasn't much new information, he didn't say anything more.

He was planning and sketching out what he would say to Jiang Xingye later.

He wanted to find a gentler, more "natural" approach, but after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a clue.

This matter is not purely a "work problem," and he does not intend to seek help from a think tank.

Let's take it one step at a time.

The car drove towards Tianqiong Technology and finally stopped in front of the office building next door.

Lin Xu got out of the car and called Jiang Xingye directly. It was during the off-get off work hours, and the two met downstairs in less than 10 minutes.

Jiang Xingye was unusually active today, but Lin Xu was relatively quiet and reserved.

But Jiang Xingye seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't take it to heart.

The two walked into the agreed-upon restaurant and sat down at the table. Jiang Xingye suddenly asked:
"What's wrong with you today? You seem a bit off."

Lin Xu paused for a moment, then replied:
"If I remember correctly, it seems like every time we meet lately, you've said I'm not acting right, right?"

"That's different."

Jiang Xingye shook his head, ordering food on his phone as he replied:

"When I said you were wrong before, it was because of your physical condition; at most, it was just overwork."

"But right now, you're not in the right emotional state."

"Why does it feel like you've just broken up with someone?"

"No way? You've been dating behind my back?"

Jiang Xingye spoke these words casually, probably knowing full well that it was impossible for such a thing to happen, and was simply joking. But Lin Xu didn't know how to respond.

He looked at Jiang Xingye, feeling both amused and exasperated.

More than lovelorn? !
If our conversation doesn't go well, I'll lose a lot more.

But we always have to face it.

Thinking of this, as if he had made up his mind, Lin Xu took a deep breath, looked into Jiang Xingye's eyes, and said:
"I have a formal question for you today."

Jiang Xingye was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said:
"You said."

She put down her phone, placed her hands on the table with a slightly flustered expression, and then clasped them together.

A hint of anticipation flickered in her expression, but at the same time, there was also...
A hint of fear.

She didn't know what Lin Xu was going to ask her, but from Lin Xu's expression and his solemn tone, Jiang Xingye could guess that the next question would have a significant impact on their relationship.

Moreover, it's highly unlikely to be a confession of love.

She waited quietly, while Lin Xu spoke up and asked:
"So, did our relationship even have a starting point?"

"what?"

The moment he asked that question, Jiang Xingye was completely stunned.

No, isn't this a confession script or a breakup script?

What kind of question is this?
She looked at Lin Xu with a puzzled expression, while Lin Xu coughed and said:
"There is no love or hate in this world that comes out of nowhere. I just feel that the development of our relationship is a bit inexplicable, isn't it?"

Jiang Xingye took a deep breath.

She looked at Lin Xu, frowned, and asked:
Is this important? Do I really have to answer?

"Very important."

Lin Xu nodded solemnly.

He wasn't playing hard to get with Jiang Xingye now.

What he wanted to determine was an incredibly cold, yet decisive, question.

Were there any other factors affecting their relationship?

If not, then let nature take its course.

If so, end it as soon as possible and transform it into another kind of "comradeship".

That would be the most rational solution.

Lin Xu's eyes were solemn, and after hearing his words, Jiang Xingye shook his head helplessly.

She spoke:
“Your mother, Lin Xu, if you asked another girl this kind of question, she would have slapped you across the face.”

"But it's okay, I'll spoil you."

"Since you asked me, I will give you a clear answer."

Yes, and it is very important.

"It's just that you're such an idiot, I don't know what kind of shit is in your brain, so you can't remember it or recall it."

".All right."

Lin Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.

A moment later, he forced an awkward smile.

This answer is truly powerful enough.

I really had no way to refute it.

But what exactly is the problem?
He felt he shouldn't ask any more questions.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xingye shook his head helplessly and said:
"You're really... never mind."

"Why are you suddenly asking this? Has the organization started an investigation?"

Her tone was clearly teasing, but Lin Xu paused for a moment before replying seriously:
"Yes."

"That is indeed a consideration."

"Next, I'm going to talk to you about something—something very important."

"I hope you can be mentally prepared; these things are not so easy to accept."

His words were meant to give Jiang Xingye a heads-up.

After all, unlike others, Jiang Xingye is still just an "ordinary person" until now.

The end of the world and higher dimensions were too far away for her.

It might not be so easy to accept.

Jiang Xingye, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by the whole thing.

"sure."

"Anyway, I already guessed that your identity was a bit special."

"To be honest, sometimes I wonder if I should just give up."

"That's probably why I dreamt about divorcing you."

Jiang Xingye's expression was somewhat melancholy.

Lin Xu looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then said:
"That wasn't a dream."

"what?"

Jiang Xingye was stunned.

Lin Xu then continued:

"Divorce is not a dream."

"This is what I'm going to talk to you about next."

"But these things can't be discussed here."

"Let's eat first."

"Come with me after you finish eating, and I'll explain."

"Eat my ass!"

Jiang Xingye suddenly stood up and grabbed the phone that was on the table.

Then, she looked at Lin Xu and said:
"Go!"

"Where shall we talk?!"
