Xu Yingying looked solemn. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Husband, I've recently encountered a particularly difficult problem that has been bothering me."

Lin Weiye was very surprised after hearing this and asked quickly, "Oh? What kind of problem could stump my wife? Tell me quickly and see if I can help you find a solution."

Xu Yingying was silent for a long time, as if time had frozen at that moment. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath, mustered up all her courage, and slowly said, "What if...what if one day, I suddenly stopped being in this world, could you take care of Xinyi and Xiaoyuer on your own?" As soon as she said this, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Weiye, revealing deep worry and uneasiness, as if a drowning person desperately grasping at the last straw, eager to find even the slightest comfort and promise in his answer.

Lin Weiye, feeling a bit dizzy from a few drinks at a social gathering tonight, stretched out two fingers and gently massaged his temples. He casually replied, "What's the matter? Are you going on a business trip? Don't worry, we have a nanny to help out at home, and I can personally take Xinyi to and from school. I don't think it's a big problem. By the way, how long will you be away this time?"

After hearing this, Xu Yingying lowered her head slightly and muttered in a barely audible voice, "Actually... I'm not quite sure how long I'll be gone."

At this moment, Lin Weiye continued without hesitation: "Let me think about it carefully, um... About a month should be enough, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Yingying was slightly stunned at first, then nodded slightly to indicate her agreement. However, even after this brief nod, her heart still couldn't calm down. She couldn't help but wonder: Wait, can I really just leave the children to Lin Weiye? Is he really capable of taking good care of these two cute little guys? What if there is any emergency, can he handle it properly... All kinds of worries surged into her heart like a tide, making her mood even more confused. Seeing that the person next to him didn't respond, Lin Weiye turned his head and looked over, only to see his wife staring at him.

The atmosphere at this moment was extremely subtle, as if time had frozen in this moment. Xu Yingying's beautiful eyes were like burning flames, staring at Lin Weiye in front of her, refusing to look away for a moment. And under her direct gaze, Lin Weiye's originally slightly drunken mind instantly sobered up.

Xu Yingying felt her heart beating wildly like a wild horse. The sound of her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, as if the whole world was filled with only the rapid drumbeats.

Lin Weiye felt uneasy when Xu Yingying looked at him. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" However, Xu Yingying didn't answer him. Instead, she suddenly changed the subject and said seriously, "Anyway, remember this. Whether I'm at home or not, you must take good care of our two children! You must not show favoritism just because Xiaoyuer is a son and Xinyi is a daughter!"

After hearing this, Lin Weiye quickly waved his hands and explained, "What are you talking about? How could I be partial? They are both the fruits of our love. I treat them equally!" Seeing Lin Weiye's sincere assurance, Xu Yingying finally felt a little relieved. But she still felt uneasy and gave him a few more instructions, fearing that Lin Weiye would forget what she had said today.

Late at night, all was silent, save for the occasional chirping of insects outside the window. The room was pitch black, with moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains. Xu Yingying lay in bed, beside her, Lin Weiye already asleep, snoring evenly and softly.

Xu Yingying, however, was not sleepy at all. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, her thoughts surging like a tide. In her heart, she silently called out to Xiaowu.

"Xiaowu, where is the current task progress bar?" Xu Yingying asked softly.

A moment later, Xiao Wu's voice rang in her mind: "Host, I just checked. The current progress has reached 99.9%, only 0.1% away from being full!"

Hearing this, Xu Yingying's heart suddenly tightened. She couldn't help but ask, "If the progress bar is full, will I have to leave this mission world directly? What will happen to this body?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm actually not too sure about this question. However, I don't think it will have a big impact on this body... Well, how about this, host? When you leave, I can leave a monitoring device behind so that we can observe what happens next."

Xu Yingying nodded slightly, a complex wave of emotions welling up within her. After all, she had been in this quest world for two or three years. During that time, she had experienced many ups and downs, not only building a career but also finding love, family, and friendship. Everything here felt incredibly intimate and warm. Compared to her previous novice quests, this experience was clearly more profound and unforgettable.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh softly, a sigh that seemed to carry endless sorrow and helplessness. She murmured to herself, "Is this really all I can do, constantly preparing to leave at any moment... When will all this end?" As her thoughts raced, her eyes gradually grew heavy.

Xu Yingying was so lost in her thoughts that she fell asleep before she knew it. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange yet familiar place—a dream.

In this dream, she was surprised to find that she had left the challenging and unknown mission world and returned to the system space. At this moment, she felt a sense of relief and a little loss.

Suddenly, Xu Yingying recalled that Xiaowu had once told her that he would leave a surveillance camera for her.
