142: Chapter 142 It seems like this is the first time I've met you.

Outside, Lin Heng was originally just calmly looking at the content on the simulator, much like reading a novel; he flipped through it quickly and couldn't be bothered to make any snide remarks.

He felt it was a bit of a joke, but he was suddenly startled when he saw that sentence Mu Xue said.

"Wait, why do I feel like Prisoner 7's plot is so problematic?" Lin Heng looked at the sentence Mu Xue said on the simulator.

"I like your Young Miss Liu Ziyi."

"Brothers, I feel like a miner; I've found a copper mine today," Lin Heng quipped.

[You originally thought there was nothing left in this world that could surprise you.]

[You truly thought so.]

[Until you heard that sentence from Mu Xue, and you were struck as if by lightning, frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time.]

[Perhaps because of Prisoner 6's simulation, his bond with Mu Xue was too deep, so when you saw Mu Xue, you subconsciously had the feeling that she was interested in you, and you also had a strange feeling toward Mu Xue.]

[If not for the appearance of Liu Ziyi, perhaps you would have chosen her to be your partner.]

[And it is precisely because of this that you have always harbored the illusion that Mu Xue likes you.]

[Looking at her expression, you know her too well; she wasn't lying, she was telling the truth!!]

[I'm in the Federation, and my Grand Marshal has taken a liking to my girlfriend—what should I do?]

["Wait a moment, I haven't processed this yet." You covered your forehead, suddenly feeling that dealing with the affairs of the Giant Rock Race was much simpler than being here.]

[At this moment, Mu Xue climbed onto your desk in an extremely seductive posture; you were certain that this person was doing it on purpose.]

[She was smiling like a little devil, looking at you.]

[She didn't answer your question but smiled and said: "Did you think just now that I was going to say I like you?"]

[You didn't speak.]

[Mu Xue smiled even more brilliantly; it was a mockery. Her pink tongue licked her upper lip, and the corners of her eyes curved.]

["Enough!" You tapped her on the head: "This is a special period. The decisions made by both of us will affect hundreds of millions of humans in the entire Federation. Mu Xue, you understand, right?"]

[After being tapped by you, Mu Xue clearly became a bit more well-behaved. She retreated to the side, covering the spot where you had just tapped her.]

["Hmph~" She snorted coldly: "You clearly just said 'sorry, Mu Xue', and now you're talking about a special period."]

["What did you say?"]

[Mu Xue turned her face away and didn't look at you: "I didn't say anything."]

[Looking at her, you felt a wave of exhaustion: "Can we talk about these things after everything is over?"]

[Mu Xue bit her lip and was silent for a moment.]

["Do you have time later?" she asked.]

["After I finish handling these matters at hand, I can clear out a day," you said, looking at her.]

["Okay."]

[The next day.]

[You handed over those simple administrative tasks to Noke to handle.]

[Of course, if there was a particularly urgent situation, he would notify you directly via psionic communication.]

[Mu Xue brought you to a planet within the territory of the Spirit Tree Race.]

["Do you still remember this place?" Mu Xue wasn't wearing her Federal Army officer uniform, but rather a beige dress.]

[She stood on her tiptoes, and the hem of her white dress fluttered slightly.]

["Yes, that was during the first interstellar war. Back then, I was still a corporal, and you were besieged by the Spirit Tree Race. I delivered the secret order to you, then we came here and activated the portal to escape," you said.]

[The Spirit Tree Race has now been completely exterminated by the Federation's fleet, and this place has now become an outer port for the Federation fleet.]

[Above the sky, countless ships flying the Human Alliance Party flag were constantly taking off and landing.]

["Mhm." Mu Xue nodded, looking at the warships in the sky.]

[The star in the sky was radiating dazzling light unreservedly, causing Mu Xue to squint her eyes.]

["Back then, I abandoned half of the fleet members here; some of them I don't remember, and some I still do." She suddenly turned her head to look at you: "When you first came to find me to join your Human Alliance Party, do you know why I agreed?"]

["Because it was fun?"]

[You always felt that you didn't recognize the Mu Xue in front of you. It was an extremely incongruous feeling. After so many simulations, especially that one with Prisoner 6, Mu Xue's image had long since taken root and sprouted in your heart.]

[She was always the type with a cynical attitude, with a lollipop dangling from her mouth.]

[But before you, looking into her eyes, there was an extremely sorrowful feeling.]

[She suddenly laughed: "There was indeed a part of that."]

[Mu Xue took a deep breath: "At that time, I abandoned half of my fleet soldiers and fled from here, thinking that one day I must return. Although my status in the Federal Army became higher and higher because of this, I also felt more and more desperate, whether it was the Parliament or the Federal Government."]

["In their hearts, there is no hope to be seen."]

["Until you appeared." Mu Xue looked at you and said: "Although, I feel there was some gambling involved, I think I won the bet."]

[Looking at the surrounding Federal fleet taking off and landing, she revealed an expression of relief: "The order to exterminate the Spirit Tree Race was issued by me."]

[You looked at Mu Xue without speaking. When the ships took off and landed, they would whip up huge gusts of wind, and Mu Xue didn't mind at all as her dress hem was blown up. In that instant, you felt she was your familiar Mu Xue again.]

[Looking at you, Mu Xue revealed a charming smile and walked in front of you.]

[So close!]

[You should have pushed her away, but the moment you raised your hand, it was grabbed by her.]

["Lin Heng." Mu Xue looked at you and licked her upper lip: "I always feel that you know me very well, but do you really know me?"]

[You met Mu Xue's gaze. Her eyes were beautiful. Although you had seen such descriptions many times in Prisoner 6's simulation, this was your first time experiencing it personally. Her eyes, like black gemstones, were filled entirely with you.]

[This was a feeling completely different from looking at Liu Ziyi.]

["Before today, I might have answered affirmatively, but now..." You looked at her and shook your head.]

[Is that so?]

[She let go of your hand and walked around you like a butterfly strolling through a flower field.]

["From now on, I am going to pursue Young Miss Liu Ziyi." Mu Xue suddenly stopped: "Whether you want to marginalize me or demote me, I am going to do it!"]

[Her eyes were resolute.]

[You looked at her. Just then, a ship took off, and a huge gust of wind struck, blowing Mu Xue's dress hem.]

["Miss Zhou Mu Xue." You looked at her: "I suddenly realized, I think I'm meeting you for the first time."]

["Is that so? That is my honor," she said, looking at you.]
