Chapter 396 Not Jealous?



"Does this mecha have a name?"

S-class mechs are not mass-produced; each mech has its own name.

Mu Chen prepared the three dishes and one soup he had been practicing over the past few days, arranged them on a plate, and served them on the table. Then he asked this question.

"Yes, my uncle named it 'Jinyi' (锦衣)."

"Wearing fine clothes in the dark?"

Mu Chen suddenly realized the meaning behind the mecha that Yan Hui had sent him; it wasn't something Mingmei would show off on a daily basis.

I think so too.

Mingmei thought about how the Imperial staff only knew a general outline of what was going on with that weapon.

More detailed information and complete data on the mecha have been transmitted to her AI via encryption and are temporarily kept by Gui Gui.

Mingmei hasn't had a chance to examine in detail what this supposedly undisclosed weapon of mass destruction actually is.

However, Mingmei found that she had slept for half the day and wasted another half on the mecha. Even now, when she was with Mu Chen, the topic of conversation was still the mecha.

Even as the food touched her lips, Mingmei felt she might have gone a bit too far.

"tasty!"

Realizing this, Mingmei began to show great appreciation for the food Mu Chen cooked.

Anyway, it tastes better than what she makes herself _(:3」∠)_

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes filled with laughter, and he used clean chopsticks to pick up other dishes and feed them to Mingmei.

Seeing Mingmei eat so much, Mu Chen felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"If you like it, eat more. I'll learn to cook more dishes for you in the future, that way..."

That way you won't have to keep watching over the pills every day.

Mingmei felt as if she were hallucinating.

While she was eating, she seemed to hear other sounds.

"What's wrong?"

When he noticed that Mingmei's chopsticks had stopped moving, Mu Chen thought she had eaten something that was hard to swallow.

"Did I stay up too late? I feel like I didn't sleep well... I feel like there are other people talking in my head." Mingmei tapped her head with her hand. "It sounds like someone I know is talking, but I can't remember their face."

"Really? What did you say?"

Mu Chen slowed down his eating pace, and his gaze, which had been fixed on Ming Mei, now quietly shifted to the dishes in front of him.

"It seems like someone told me to eat more... When I was a child... life was quite different from now."

Mingmei blinked and spoke slowly. She looked up at Mu Chen. Although she and Mu Chen both had secrets, she felt that her secret was more outrageous.

After all, who else but the main AI can do time travel?

Even if Mu Chen and she are both "pretending to be young", when it comes to the past, her world and interstellar space are completely different places. How can she talk about her childhood?

"Well, we live in different places, so what?"

Mu Chen seemed oblivious to Ming Mei's hint, looking up to meet her eyes. However, because Ming Mei was already a little nervous, she didn't notice that Mu Chen's pupils were radiating outwards when he looked at her.

He didn't even look at her.

"When I was a child, my health... wasn't bad, it's just that it was somewhat different from what others considered good..."

After all, in a world of cultivation, without spiritual roots and the talent for cultivation, even if one's body is so strong that even ordinary body cultivators are ashamed of it, the Heavenly Dao completely disregards one's existence, as if it were a joke.

Both physical cultivation and methods of cultivating immortality through body tempering are not permitted.

However, his parents and sister were all renowned cultivators.

Her father must have wanted to take her away from that world a long time ago. So, in order to be able to ascend with them, break through the ladder to immortality, and shatter the void to come here, what she had to do was make her body more resilient and powerful.

"My family fed me a lot of healthy foods, but they just didn't taste good..."

Mingmei now recalls the rare and precious herbs she ate back then. Some of them were refined into pills and consumed, but others needed to be eaten fresh and hot.

Some of these things are really not that great-looking; one bite and you'll feel nauseous for a long time.

As a result, I didn't want to eat for a long time afterward.

In her memory, there always seemed to be someone coaxing her to eat.

However, her memory of this period is very vague.

"That shouldn't be the case. I was in the medical pod for a checkup before, and the medical AI said my brain wasn't damaged, and it didn't seem like I was lost." Mingmei finished recounting this not-so-pleasant childhood memory in a lighthearted tone, half-jokingly.

She added jokingly, "I think I've forgotten about my childhood sweetheart~ Ah Chen, will you be jealous?"

Finally, as she spoke, Mingmei looked intently at Mu Chen, only to receive a captivating, gentle smile in return. That smile sent shivers down Mingmei's spine, making her ears burn.

"Won't."

Mu Chen shook his head.

"If you've forgotten all of this, it means the other person isn't important to you."

Mu Chen secretly clenched the bottom of his bowl, lowered his head and swallowed a mouthful of rice, a bitter smile mixed with the rice in his mouth.

You should know that because of the special circumstances surrounding Meimei's fate in that world when she was a child, she will never remember you.

Even if you see her every day and stay by her side for so many years, she will forget you again every now and then, just like now, she still doesn't remember you. www.cascoo.net

In her eyes, the mistakes you've made are even more inexplicable... You need to think things through before you confess anything.
