Crossing the Ark, I was picked up by Penguin Logistics at the beginning

"Because..." Mo Yu calmed down, "Because you are Texas."

There was no fluctuation in Texas' pale yellow eyes because of Mo Yu's words, and the expression on his face didn't even change.

It was obvious that she was not satisfied with Mo Yu's incoherent answer.

"..."

"Remember when we first met, I called out your name directly?" Mo Yu did not stop. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the coffee in his hand.

"remember."

Texas frowned and recalled the first time they met, Mo Yu blurted out his name with such familiarity, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. The emergency situation at the time made Texas subconsciously ignore this point.

Now when I think back on it, it seems a little weird.

Why is a stranger whom I met for the first time so familiar with Penguin Logistics and myself?

"That wasn't actually the first time I met Texas." Mo Yu raised his head. "I already knew Texas before that, so I called out your name the first time."

"That's... in Syracuse?" Texas frowned, suppressing a fierce look in his eyes, waiting for Mo Yu's answer, "But you clearly said that you are not from Syracuse."

She hates deception and betrayal.

She was also afraid that her past would catch up with her and ruin the life she had now.

"No, that is in... another world." Mo Yu raised his head and looked into those light yellow eyes, completely ignoring the sharp gaze of Texas.

The coffee in his hand was only slightly warm, and the warm lights in the store could hardly dispel the frosty aura surrounding Texas.

Rather than the absurd and unconvincing "other world", Texas would rather believe the more reliable inference that Mo Yu came from Syracuse.

But after a month of living together day and night and the initial goodwill they had developed, she resisted the urge to get up and leave immediately.

"go on."

"I know it's hard for you to believe," Mo Yu picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "but I really don't belong to this world. My understanding of you, Syracuse, Penguin Logistics, Longmen and Terra all come from my previous world."

Texas is silent.

"In that world, I was much weaker than I am now, and I didn't need to fight for my life all day long." Mo Yu didn't care. "But at that time, I was confused and had no goals. I just lived a decadent life of muddling through."

"For me at that time, Texas was a vision, a yearning, and the person I wanted to be." Mo Yu put down the coffee cup in his hand. "Determined, strong, and beautiful. Even with such a heavy past, I can still raise my head confidently and move forward."

"And when I came to Terra, to this strange yet familiar world, the first person I met was you." Mo Yu closed his eyes, with a look of reminiscence on his face. "Although I almost died under your Originium Sword."

"After joining Penguin Logistics, I seem to understand why Texas is so powerful." Mo Yu paused, "And I also have something I want to do."

"That is to chase after the person you admire and love, and finally be able to stand by her side and accompany her to face the storms she has to face." Mo Yu said calmly, "I like you, Senior Texas."

"I understand." Texas rubbed his brows and suppressed his doubts about the illogical things Mo Yu said. "It can be seen that you are not lying... You are really... a bold junior."

When Mo Yu took the initiative to look her in the eye, she tried to see through his deception and disguise from his eyes and small movements.

But she failed. There was only sincere emotion in Mo Yu's eyes that did not seem fake. Texas could see that although Mo Yu's words were extremely unreasonable, Mo Yu was not deceiving her.

Mo Yu felt that the air pressure around him was no longer as oppressive as before, and the warm atmosphere in the restaurant surrounded him again.

"You're still a long way off, Mo Yu." Texas patted Mo Yu's head. "It's not that easy to catch up with me."

While Mo Yu was stunned, Texas had already stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

[Texas's favorability has increased]

The system sound in his mind interrupted Mo Yu's thoughts, and he realized that Texas had left and didn't even come back to say goodbye to him. Mo Yu looked at the cold coffee in the cup, picked up the cup and drank it all.

……

And myself... side by side?

From Syracuse, where he had to lick blood from the knife and hang his head on the belt, to the orderly Longmen, after joining Penguin Logistics, Texas made many new friends and shed a lot of murderous aura, changing from "the killer of the Texas family" to "Texas of Penguin Logistics".

It’s not that Texas has never been confessed to before. On the contrary, because of her outstanding personal strength and outstanding temperament, even if she has tried her best not to talk or show herself, she still attracts many suitors. But without exception, these suitors were either rejected by Texas or left her on their own initiative after vaguely finding out about Texas’ past.

She was unwilling to reveal her past. Even the Angel and Sora knew very little about her past. They only knew that she came from a once glorious Texas family and had experienced some not-so-bright days.

She didn't want her past to disturb her current life.

She also told herself that she would definitely go back to end it all, to end the tangled grudges in Syracuse. Even though it was difficult, she was Texas, the only lone wolf left in the Texas family, and she was the only one who could resolve these old matters.

Originally, she had asked Mo Yu out today, and she was thinking about how to reject this junior whom she had a good impression of, and make him give up his love for her. She didn't want to give those suitors meaningless hope, but the emotions expressed by Mo Yu exceeded her expectations.

After knowing that he had a heavy past, he was still able to say "I want to walk side by side with you and face the storms you are going to face." These words sounded a little arrogant, which made Texas' heart palpitate for no reason.

For some reason, she subconsciously wanted to believe, to believe in that junior who couldn't even last fifteen moves in her hands, and to believe that there would be a day when he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

In the end, I couldn't say no.

"Please, let me see your growth..." Texas' voice was very soft, and it was blown away by the wind in just a moment. "I will try to believe you."
