CH 42.1

When Gu Yuanzhao heard Bai Jing’s words, he stiffened completely. As he gazed into the teenager’s shining eyes, he saw a noticeable expectation in their depths and in that moment, he felt an intense pounding in his heart that he couldn’t conceal.

“….. you can.”

Gu Yuanzhao heard himself say in a hoarse tone as his muscular chest rose and fell with each rushed breath.

He spent at least three hours every day exercising and training his body, ensuring that his 3S level physique remained in top condition.

‘My body should satisfy him right?’ Gu Yuanzhao thought nervously.

But…. wasn’t their development progressing a little too fast?

He hadn’t revealed his feelings, hadn’t announced them publicly and he hadn’t even met the parents…

Gu Yuanzhao’s thoughts were in a jumbled mess at the moment.

Bai Jing was unaware of his complex thoughts. All he saw was the silver white spatial button that was only a meter away from him as he ignored the surge of activity coming from Gu Yuanzhao’s body.

This spatial button was well protected by its owner, with a mirror like brightness and not a scratch or damage on its surface. There was a small hole on top of it with a fine silver chain threaded through and hanging around his neck, which swayed slightly with Gu Yuanzhao’s rushed breathing.

He never thought he could actually touch ‘Silver Light’ with his own hands. He was simply too lucky!

As the fair-skinned teenager’s fingertips approached gradually, Gu Yuanzhao’s torso tensed to the extreme, and the entire space was sealed by his powerful aura.

He seemed to be able to feel the warmth of his fingertips, his heart pounding uncontrollably until—

Bai Jing caught his spatial button in his hand, playing with it and unwilling to let go.

Gu Yuanzhao, who had been waiting for a long time but not getting the expected results: ?

He lowered his gaze slightly and saw the silver white spatial button being held delicately in the teenager’s hand, being gently caressed with his fingertips as he observed it very carefully.

!!

It turns out, it was his mecha that the teenager had wanted to see—

And here he thought…..

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, the heir to the Gu Conglomerate, the Imperial Major General who was adored by all, felt an unspeakable sense of loss for the first time as he suddenly fell silent.

His heart that had been beating happily just now became cold because of the huge blow and there was a low, oppressive aura in the air, with a hint of helplessness and grievance.

“What’s wrong with you?”

After his desire had been fulfilled, Bai Jing’s sharp sensitivity returned and his beautiful teal colored eyes looked at Gu Yuanzhao in confusion.

He had clearly already agreed to let him touch it. Could it be he was having second thoughts?

Looking at the teenager’s fluffy, soft hair and cheeks that were red with excitement, Gu Yuanzhao sighed softly then took off his mecha necklace from his neck and placed it in his hands.

Gu Yuanzhao: “You like ‘Silver Light’?”

Bai Jing’s clear eyes curved into a pretty arc, as if they were a gathering of thousands of stars in them: “En! It’s really cool and you’re also cool and very awesome.”

Complimented by the teenager, Gu Yuanzhao’s nearly frozen heart warmed up immediately and his 3S-level aura converged neatly. “Do you want to pilot this mecha with me?”

Bai Jing looked up at him: “I really can?”

Gu Yuanzhao: “Yes.”

Bai Jing quickly changed his clothes and at two o’clock in the morning, the two logged into a simulation room on Starnet.

Gu Yuanzhao chose an exclusive, high level VIP room which was equipped with a signal shielding system to block all sights.

In the spacious training room.

Slender fingers pressed the silver white spatial button on his chest and instantly, a silver white mecha that was twenty meters high appeared in front of Bai Jing.

Every inch of the mecha was extremely sleek, tall and dignified, with the energy sword that had killed countless alien beasts tucked at its waist. In the light, the bright metal shine was the perfect work of art.

After Bai Jing was done admiring the mecha, Gu Yuanzhao led him into the cockpit.

The cockpit here was much more luxurious than Bai Jing’s low level mecha and had a bit more space, the most noticeable of which were the two pilot seats.

Bai Jing sat in the co-pilot seat, which was less than half a meter away from the main pilot seat then looked towards the main control panel.

In addition to the basic buttons, the control panel had many combination keys.

There were three sets of weapons systems alone, which could be switched at any time to choose the best attack mode.

Gu Yuanzhao also sat down, causing the two of them to be very close to each other and as he grasped the control lever, he could feel the faint warmth transmitted from the teenager’s arm, just like the feeling he gave him.

He set the training room to [Realistic Simulation], the simulation environment to [Desert] and the difficulty to [Advanced].

Bai Jing only felt a flash in front of his eyes and when he opened them again, the mecha was already in a sandy desert.

Suddenly, a mound of sand at his feet bulged and a giant centipede that was about twenty meters long burst out of the sand and rushed towards the mecha with extreme speed, its shell flashing with metallic luster, its jaw sharp as it headed straight for the mecha.

“Sit tight.” Gu Yuanzhao turned to Bai Jing and said, completely ignoring the attack of the giant centipede, his tone calm.

The next moment, the silver white mecha launched straight into the sky and even from the cockpit, Bai Jing could feel that extreme speed.
