The words Yu Jiangyan hadn't finished saying abruptly stopped.
Mo Ye himself came to find Qiao Ci?
Ever since Mo Ye went to the front lines, he rarely left unless it was a major event. What was this about?
Watching Qiao Ci's receding back as she left with the class advisor, Yu Jiangyan felt the world was a bit surreal...
Entering the conference room, Mo Ye strode towards Qiao Ci, the only person in the entire room.
"Forgive my intrusion, I have disturbed you."
These past few days, Mo Ye's mind had been inadvertently filled with images of Qiao Ci.
He, who always believed that a mind without women led to a divine power in killing insects, did not think this was any improper thought towards Qiao Ci. He merely found her mecha and her piloting skills beautiful, and wished to discuss them up close.
They sat down, the long office table separating them, each on opposite sides, too far to reach each other.
"Hello, my name is Mo Ye," Mo Ye introduced himself first.
"Qiao Ci," she replied concisely.
"Before you arrived, I had already heard. The mecha you piloted previously was among the earliest batch. After your modifications, both its material and function far exceeded its limits."
Mo Ye knew his next words might infringe upon Qiao Ci's rights. He chose his words carefully before continuing, "The war between humans and insectoids has been going on for ten years. The territory and resources on Blue Star are dwindling. If you could share your modification methods, it is believed that eliminating the insectoids would be within reach. Rest assured, state any demands you have, and I will fulfill them as long as I am able."
Qiao Ci shook her head. "The modification method, only I alone can achieve it."
Mo Ye's eyes dimmed, assuming Qiao Ci was unwilling to reveal her modification method.
Qiao Ci continued, "I modified the mecha using mental power. It can identify all the mecha's flaws and bring it to an unprecedented perfect state. Do you know why the mechas that exploded so many times were only damaged?"
Mo Ye's dark eyes looked at Qiao Ci earnestly.
Qiao Ci replied word by word, "Because I enveloped the entire mecha with mental power. No one possesses such powerful mental power, not even you."
With humanity's current technological level, such powerful mechas couldn't be produced. But Qiao Ci could. What enveloped the mecha was not merely mental power, but divine power.
This was metaphysics, not technology.
Mo Ye's eyes held evident disappointment.
"However..."
The girl's voice rang out, and Mo Ye's eyes once again gathered light, looking at Qiao Ci expectantly.
"...I can promise you now that I will use all my abilities to drive the insectoids from Blue Star, even make them disappear completely. In that case, can I still make a request of you? A request within your capabilities?"
Mo Ye nodded solemnly. "Yes."
He expected the girl to request to take his position as general, or even become the absolute leader as a savior.
Mo Ye was contemplating whether he could fulfill her request if she indeed had one. The former was easier; he could simply abdicate. The latter...
As long as she could keep her word and drive away or eliminate the insectoids, it wasn't impossible...
Unexpectedly, she looked at him with interest and parted her red lips, "I want you, to be my boyfriend, starting from this moment."
Mo Ye, who had been lost in thought, suddenly looked up. Gazing at the girl's unrestrained eyes, his heart couldn't help but flutter.
He asked with some uncertainty, "Just this?"
Qiao Ci nodded, even kindly reminding him, "I heard you don't entertain women. Do you want to go back and consider? I can give you three days."
Mo Ye felt a strange sensation.
In the past, his mother used to read modern romance novels, and the domineering CEOs in them seemed like this. However, the CEOs in the books were men, while the one opposite him, exuding a domineering aura, was a woman.
Then he heard Qiao Ci say, "Of course, whether you date me or not, I will do my best to solve the insectoid problem."
Mo Ye thought of his own recent strangeness and looked at the girl opposite him with a serious gaze, "Then, from this moment on, you are my lover."
From the moment he first saw this girl, he felt something strange. She gave him a feeling of being both unfamiliar and familiar. When interacting with her, he no longer seemed to reject women's closeness, and even wanted her to be closer, to know her... everything.
Now, with the opportunity before him, what reason did he have not to seize it?
"Are you heading back to your dorm now?" Mo Ye noticed the sky darkening and prepared to fulfill his duty as a boyfriend by escorting her back.
"It's the weekend tomorrow, I need to go home later." Coincidentally, Qiao Ci also wanted to see how Long Mieshi was doing.
If necessary, she would deliver another blow to prevent him from becoming handsome and human, to see how Qiao Xi would fall in love with his true nature.
"I'll escort you," Mo Ye said gentlemanly, gesturing for Qiao Ci to walk ahead.
A man and a woman, one after the other.
The man was tall and handsome, with an imposing stature, exuding an aura of decisive battle.
The girl was stunning and pure, petite in stature, with an air of unshaken composure and indifferent aloofness.
She did not appear ordinary at all due to the man's excellence; instead, it made the man seem like a knight, and she the princess leading the knight in decisive battles.
Yu Jiangyan, driven by curiosity, had been waiting outside the conference room, worried that Mo Ye's coldness might make Qiao Ci cry, so he could comfort her appropriately.
To his surprise, he saw a man and a woman emerge one after another.
The Imperial General, who had always been arrogant and only paid attention to insectoids, was actually walking protectively behind Qiao Ci, following wherever she went...
Yu Jiangyan began to doubt his own eyes. Had Qiao Ci captured Mo Ye?
Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman walking towards him one after another, Yu Jiangyan quickly hid.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of inferiority...
Mo Ye also noticed Yu Jiangyan, who was staring blankly in their direction and then furtively slipped away as they approached.
He had seen this young man at the front lines. At that time, Qiao Ci had emerged from a swarm of insectoids, and this young man had immediately tried to hug her.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Mo Ye, always direct, nudged his tongue against his cheek and asked, "Who was that guy? He seemed to be waiting for you."
Qiao Ci did not avoid the question. "A classmate from the mecha class. That's all."
Mo Ye rubbed his nose, feeling his small secret being exposed, and instinctively replied, "I didn't mean anything else, you don't need to explain in such detail."
Qiao Ci stopped and looked at Mo Ye, raising an eyebrow. "In detail? Wouldn't the detailed version be that he just confessed to me, and I think..."
"Think what?" Mo Ye glanced at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
