My name is Segovia.
Shang Xian nodded, not understanding the meaning of his words, and continued, "Segovia, actually..."
"I like you"
Moxi's deep eyes reflected her face; now, she was all he could see.
Shang Xian's heart pounded wildly. She calmed herself down before saying, "Segovia, you've lived so long, you should be able to understand one thing."
She paused, then continued, "In our human world, there's a saying, 'marrying someone of equal social standing.' That applies here too. We're from completely different worlds. Someone like you would be a god here. I'm just a human. We...we're completely..."
"Impossible?" Moxi's gaze deepened.
"Yes, it's impossible." Shang Xian still doesn't know why Mo Xi likes her.
It was obvious that Shen Yi had feelings for her, but Mo Xi hadn't shown any interest in her at all. All the things he said were meant to reassure her. How did things turn out like this?
“I already had ulterior motives from the first time I brought you back to the Time-Space Alliance. It’s just that she lacked a sense of security at that time, so you relied on my feelings for you. Didn’t you realize that once this kind of feeling develops, you won’t think in that direction? You’ve always been very wary of me. You should know that yourself.” Moxi put his hands on his knees and calmly analyzed the previous events for her.
"Yes, because you've lived so long, I know it's pointless to use those petty tricks against you, and I also know you won't do anything to me, but I never even considered that possibility."
"Not only did I take you back to the Time-Space Alliance, but I also told you my name. You should be a little wary now. You should know what I mean. I've always kept things very clear: an individual is an individual, and a mission is a mission. That's why we all have code names and never tell our hosts our real names, just to avoid getting too involved."
Shang Xian really didn't know what to say to him. Should he say that he was hiding his true intentions too well, or that he himself hadn't been wary of him?
"Don't you know about Shenyi's matter?" Shangxian looked at him.
“But you treat me completely differently than you treat him. Maybe the game of Divine Chess isn’t interesting enough,” Moxi smiled.
"But……"
"If I were a human like you, would you like me?" Moxi met her eyes.
Shang Xian looked at him in silence for a long time, and finally shook her head: "You told me that the order of arrival is very important."
This is what Moxi said to Shenyi: First come, first served is really important.
"I understand, then let's do it in the next life," Moxi took a deep breath and then laughed.
Shang Xian didn't understand what he meant by "next life," and nodded blankly.
“Let’s… stick to the way things are,” Mo Xi reached out and patted her head. Shang Xian knew more or less what Mo Xi was feeling, even though she had never experienced it herself.
"Okay," she said, feeling a bit flustered and confused.
The two sat on the sofa without saying a word, and there wasn't a sound coming from the room.
“I don’t want to see you sad. I know everything about your past,” Moxi broke the silence. His hands, resting on his knees, clenched and unclenched, whether from nervousness and embarrassment or heartache, it was hard to tell…
"Thank you," Shang Xian said, looking down at her fingers and no longer glancing at him.
“So…” Moxi paused for a moment. Shang Xian was a little uncomfortable because she wasn’t used to Moxi being so fussy.
"So let's end things here in this dimension."
