80: Chapter 80 Almost Lovers?

【For a moment, neither of you spoke, just looking at each other.】

【Subconsciously, you checked your body with Spiritual Qi.】

【The other party really hadn't done anything to you.】

【No, that's not right. Right now, you should be asking Mu Xue why she suddenly climbed into your bed!】

【You opened your mouth to speak, but when you met her bright eyes, the words got stuck in your throat.】

【The room was so quiet you could hear both of your breathing and heartbeats, one after another, as if something were gently tapping in the air.】

【The warm air Mu Xue exhaled hit your face, carrying the sweetness of strawberry candy. The chaotic sounds around you seemed to vanish in an instant, leaving only her breathing, your heartbeat, and the faint rustling of the pillow being pressed down.】

【Looking at Mu Xue in front of you, your brain, which possessed over six hundred talent points, went into disarray for a moment.】

"Wait, is Mu Xue really that charming?" Lin Heng stared wide-eyed at the content above.

What do you mean your brain with over six hundred talent points went into disarray?

Doesn't Lin Heng know his own personality?

If you translate that sentence, it just means the cerebellum took control of the brain for a split second, right!

【Do you have feelings for Mu Xue?】

【The answer is yes.】

【In the simulator, there's Liu Ziyi and Mu Xue. Although you've only seen the stories between you and them within the simulator, that doesn't hinder you from having feelings for both of them.】

【Your feelings for Mu Xue are certain.】

【If you really had to say it, then it would be...】

【More than friends, less than lovers?】

【Wait, isn't that what Prisoner 3 said back then?】

【Mu Xue suddenly reached out, her fingers pausing for a moment in front of your forehead,】

【Then, she curled her finger and flicked!】

【The force wasn't great; it felt like she was teasing a cat.】

【Your face was reflected in her bright eyes, and you were the little kitten in her eyes.】

【"Wait a second, is this retaliation?" You covered your forehead, pretending to be in pain.】

【Mu Xue ignored you, glanced at you casually, then stood up and stretched.】

【She was wearing a plain beige short-sleeved shirt on top and a simple black JK skirt on the bottom, looking like a twenty-year-old girl.】

【Thinking of this, you almost slapped yourself. What do you mean 'looking like a twenty-year-old girl'? Mu Xue is only twenty-one or twenty-two this year.】

【In any case, all in all, Mu Xue just stretched and revealed her slender waist.】

【Very slender, very fair!】

【You subconsciously looked for two extra seconds, and before you could withdraw your gaze from her waist, Mu Xue caught you red-handed.】

【You coughed lightly and propped yourself up on your elbows to sit up from the bed.】

【At least change to a less awkward position.】

【But just as you wanted to get up, she pressed you back down.】

【You blinked.】

【The candy stick in Mu Xue's mouth moved slightly, her bright eyes watching you, never leaving for a second.】

【You lay on the bed, looking up at her.】

【She lifted her chin, looking down at you from above.】

【Wait, no, you are a Martial Arts Myth, and Mu Xue is merely an Innate. How can she look down on you?】

【You only need to move one finger to make her vanish into thin air!】

【As you said this, you were about to get up.】

【But Mu Xue extended one index finger and pressed you back down!】

【The force wasn't great, but you obediently lay flat.】

【She took the opportunity to sit on your stomach and pulled a lollipop out of her pocket.】

【Wait a minute, this position is a bit ambiguous, isn't it?】

【Mu Xue didn't care at all. She tore open the wrapper, held the candy stick in her hand, looked down at you, and the corners of her mouth curved into a very slight arc.】

【You wanted to speak, but the candy was already pressed against your lips.】

【It looked like she was determined to stuff this candy into your mouth.】

【You felt this was retaliation; whether it was the forehead flick or feeding you candy like this, it was what you did to Mu Xue yesterday afternoon at the Pill King Competition.】

【You took the candy into your mouth.】

【It was different from the one in Mu Xue's mouth. It wasn't strawberry flavor; it was blueberry.】

【The hint of sweetness also melted on the tip of your tongue.】

【However, looking at Mu Xue sitting on you, you surprisingly couldn't tell for a moment whether you thought the candy in your mouth was sweeter, or something else was.】

【After Mu Xue stuffed the candy into your mouth, she rolled off you and sat by your side.】

【She sucked on the strawberry lollipop in her mouth, then took it out and held it in her hand.】

【You sucked on the lollipop in your mouth, then also took it out and looked at Mu Xue as you said.】

【"Mu Xue..."】

【She interrupted the question you wanted to ask with lightning speed.】

【"Lin Heng! Let's date!"】

【When she said this, Mu Xue actually didn't look at you. Her gaze drifted, and she unconsciously twirled the white candy stick in her hand twice.】

【"Huh?" You were certain you hadn't misheard that sentence.】

【Mu Xue suddenly confessed to you?】

【Main body, are you there?】

【Main body, save me!】

【Main body, it's too scary!】

【Main body, should I refuse?】

"Hurry up and refuse, then go find your right hand!" Lin Heng rolled his eyes and retorted.

"Oh right, it seems Prisoner 6 doesn't need his right hand anymore."

Not many days had passed in Prisoner 6's simulation, so Lin Heng could still roughly guess the thoughts of his simulated self.

Of course, if more time had passed and he had experienced more things, Lin Heng might not have been able to guess it.

【Although you asked the main body this in your heart.】

【But upon hearing Mu Xue's words, you didn't hesitate at all as you looked into Mu Xue's eyes and said, "Okay!"】

【Mu Xue looked at you and revealed a faint smile again, as if she had known the answer all along, or perhaps as if she had let out a sigh of relief.】

【"Then from now on, we are lovers." Mu Xue looked at you and said!】

【You could feel that when she said this, her tone was still that lazy cadence, but the end of her sentence tilted slightly upward, hiding a hint of irrepressible joy.】

【"That's right!" you said.】

【You also felt that your own voice carried a hint of excitement.】

【What 'more than friends, less than lovers'?】

【Who would believe that now!】

【Anyway, you, Lin Heng, who had been single since birth for twenty-two years, ended it today!】

【Mu Xue suddenly leaned in a step closer.】

【You didn't know what she was going to do—oh wait, you didn't know what your lover was going to do.】

【You saw her take your hand that was holding the lollipop with one of her hands, and then she stuffed the lollipop from her other hand into your mouth.】

【The strawberry flavor immediately melted in your mouth.】

【She then raised your hand that she was holding, lowered her head, and took the blueberry-flavored lollipop from your hand into her mouth.】

【"Don't just sit there, let's go." Mu Xue, holding the blueberry candy you had just been sucking on in her mouth, lifted her chin at you.】

【Her black skirt hem swayed with her steps. She raised her hand to tuck back some stray hair from her temple, looked at you, smiled, and spoke softly.】

【"My lover!"】
