Dawn of the Super Seminary

Chapter 335 Confess and Be Lenient?

"Oh"

Seeing that he insisted, Qilin didn't say anything more, but just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.

The two sat on the bed in silence until the microwave made a "ding".

"Xiao Chen, the food is heated up. Go wash your hands, I'll bring it to you."

With that, Qilin got up and walked towards the microwave oven.

Mu Xingchen got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom in the dormitory.

Standing in front of the sink, Mu Xingchen looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Yes, he was thinking about those troubling things again.

The thought that his peaceful days were about to be disrupted filled him with an indescribable sadness.

Instead of staring blankly in the mirror, he rolled up his sleeves and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

As for the dark alloy armor he was wearing, it had already been stored away by Qi Lin using a micro-wormhole when he was abducted and returned.

When Mu Xingchen came out after washing her hands, Qi Lin had already placed the food on the round tea table.

Mu Xingchen didn't dawdle; he shook his hand and went straight to the tea table to sit down.

I picked up the disposable insulated container and started shoveling rice into it.

Qi Lin thoughtfully picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water.

Before long, Mu Xingchen had finished eating the ten boxes of rice and three boxes of meat and vegetables.

Even so, Mu Xingchen only ate until he was about 60-70% full.

There's no way around it, because he's a super soldier, and his appetite is naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

After dinner, it was already 2:30 a.m.

Mu Xingchen didn't mention going to wash up or anything; she just took off her shirt and went to bed to rest.

After tidying up the lunchboxes, Qilin turned off the lights and went to bed.

The dormitory was dark, but Mu Xingchen was not asleep.

He's staring blankly at the wind chimes hanging from the ceiling in front of his bed.

Qilin seemed to notice that her husband was not asleep, so she asked him softly.

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

Thinking about something.

Looking at the somewhat blurry face beside the pillow, Mu Xingchen reached out and put his arm around Qi Lin's waist.

Feeling the warmth (softness) that belongs only to him.

"What is it?"

They were an old married couple, and Qilin didn't feel shy about being hugged by her husband.

She even moved closer to him, sitting right next to him.

"..."

When Qi Lin asked, Mu Xingchen fell silent, because he was wondering whether he should be honest with his wife.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Lin asked again.

"There's something I've been keeping from you for a long time, and I want to tell you."

Finally, Mu Xingchen made up her mind to tell Qi Lin about it.

Of course, he wasn't trying to convince his wife to agree to him taking a concubine.

Instead, he simply admitted his mistake to his wife.

Because he was afraid that the world-weary face might go crazy one day and tell Qi Lin about that incident (showing Qi Lin the video).

If that really happens, it will be difficult for him to appease his wife.

Since he was destined to lose face badly once.

Since he was destined to be criticized behind his back.

If he's willing to accept this outcome, then let his brothers look down on him.

As long as he can keep his wife, he won't be a complete loser (a failure).

"what?"

Although Qi Lin spoke casually, she was actually on high alert.

She knew what he was about to say would be very important.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept it from her for so long before finally deciding to tell her.

"I...I cheated on you..."

Mu Xingchen didn't consider himself a shameless person.

So he told Qilin the truth directly.

Instead of demanding that Qilin promise to forgive him before he would speak up.

Because he genuinely felt sorry for his wife...

Although he did it to help that world-weary-faced guy replenish his energy and recover from genetic trauma.

But that day he did not uphold the principles a husband should have.

That day, he genuinely felt it was great to have a one-night stand with that angel without having to take responsibility.

You could say he betrayed her completely...

"what?"

Qi Lin was completely taken aback by her husband's words and was momentarily stunned.

"Really, I'm not kidding. I made a huge mistake. I'm so sorry..."

After saying those three words, Mu Xingchen tightened his arms around Qi Lin's waist.

It seemed as if he was afraid he would lose her.

"..."

Hearing him speak so seriously, Qi Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She looked at his blurry face beside her pillow, but felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.

Yes, Qilin never expected that one day she would receive news of her husband's infidelity.

Because she knows her husband very well, or at least she believes she knows him very well.

Therefore, she genuinely did not believe that he would do something to betray her.

But now she had actually heard this news from him, which left Qi Lin somewhat at a loss.

"Is it mental or physical? Or both?"

After thinking for a dozen seconds, Qilin asked what she considered a very important question.

"Physically..."

Mu Xingchen didn't prepare any euphemistic explanation and directly admitted it.

However, he didn't dare say that he had both.

Of course, strictly speaking, he did not completely betray his wife in spirit.

He was simply blinded by desire and the thought of getting something for nothing without taking responsibility.

He never had any intention of spending his life with that cynical-looking man.

He was just being threatened by that guy with the video, so he had to verbally compromise with her.

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Qi Lin fell silent again.

She didn't know how she was feeling at that moment.

I don't even know what kind of mood she should be in right now.

Anyway, she felt a mix of emotions.

Honestly, even she herself didn't understand why she was so calm.

It was as if her husband's infidelity had nothing to do with her.

Shouldn't a woman be so angry that she loses her temper when she finds out her husband is cheating?

Why doesn't she seem angry or upset at all?

Qilin couldn't understand it.

I really don't understand...

Seeing that she was silent again, Mu Xingchen didn't know what to say.

The two lay face to face in the blankets without saying a word.

The scene was truly bizarre.

"who is it?"

Finally, Qi Lin broke the silence.

She wanted to know who the woman who had "seduced" her husband was.

"cold"

"..."

After receiving the reply, Qilin fell into deep thought once again.

She couldn't understand why her husband would cheat on her with that difficult-to-communicate angel.

Logically speaking, even if a man cheats, shouldn't he choose the gentle, charming, and likable type?

How could he have an affair with a woman who always has a sour face and acts like everyone owes "her" money?

Is her husband's taste really that bad?

and many more!

Did he just say that he only cheated physically, but not emotionally?

It seems so.

If that's the case, then does he have some special reason for his predicament?

Or perhaps he didn't intend to cheat, but was forced to do so due to certain circumstances?

Wow, that's actually possible!

After thinking about all this, Qilin asked him another question.

"you like her?"

“No, that’s not the case.”

Mu Xingchen responded very decisively.

Of course, he was telling the truth.

He didn't actually like or love that world-weary face.

At most, I was just tempted by what she said at the time, thinking it would be nice to get something for free without having to take responsibility.

Anyway, aside from when he was doing *that* with her, he really didn't see anything good about that world-weary face who was always picking on him.

"Then why did you cheat on her?"

Seeing how readily he answered, Qi Lin felt a weight lifted from her heart.

Because her husband's original intention was definitely not to cheat.

There was just some compelling reason to do it that way.

"I didn't intend to cheat on you; I was trying to save someone."

"Huh? Save someone? What do you mean?"

Hearing him say that, Qi Lin felt a strange sensation.

The main thing is that this is the first time in her life she has ever heard of a relationship between a man and a woman being able to save someone's life!

Isn't this too outrageous?

"Let me start from the beginning. Back in early July, Chief Lianfeng sent me on a mission to investigate a village that was isolated by strange energy, right? I was attacked by demons that time and didn't return until the next day. You should remember that, right?"

Perhaps seeing that Qi Lin's condition was relatively stable, Mu Xingchen decided to tell her everything.

However, he was still somewhat surprised.

He was surprised that his wife was so calm.

But at the same time, he was also very fortunate to have such a calm and rational wife.

At least she was willing to listen to the reasons for his infidelity, instead of making a scene and yelling like some women do when things go wrong.

His wife truly lives up to her reputation as a lady from a distinguished family.

"I remember, you were injured that time."

Qilin certainly wouldn't forget that incident, because her husband still had three small round scars on his back.

She knew those scars were left by the Godslayer No. 1 armor-piercing shell.

There's still no sign of it fading. [It's only been two and a half months, too short a time; otherwise, it could have gradually recovered.]

Every time she washed her body, she could see those three slightly indented round marks.

It's hard not to remember that.

"Yes, not only was I injured that time, but she was also seriously injured and almost died."

Recalling that incident, Mu Xingchen suddenly recalled the image of Leng confessing her love to him while lying in a pool of blood.

At that moment, he felt a pang of sadness.

I feel a little sorry for that world-weary face.

After all, she was just a girl who wanted to pursue love.

It's just that her way of pursuing love was a bit excessive (radical).

"Really? She was full of energy when she came back."

When Qilin heard him say that the angel was injured and on the verge of death, she found it hard to understand.

Because after Leng came back, she gave everyone in the Super Soldier Squad a hard time.

She vividly remembered that the angel Leng was not injured.

The only damage was to the clothes around the abdomen.

"Yes, that's because I saved her. Otherwise, how could she be alive and kicking?"

Mu Xingchen said it in a matter-of-fact tone.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had no remorse whatsoever for this matter.

"So that's how you saved her?"

Qilin still couldn't understand why doing that kind of thing could save people.

Her mind was filled with strangeness at that moment.

It's not that she felt he was lying to her.

If he really wanted to lie, he could have simply not confessed his affair to her.

But now that he has spoken up, it means that he truly knows he was wrong and is willing to repent.

Therefore, it's impossible for him to lie in this situation.

She just couldn't understand why the angel had her man "give her an injection" when she was about to die.

Her husband's... thing has this effect?

Why didn't she feel it?

"Tsk, how should I put it? They angels are a bit different from us. They say they have some kind of engine inside their bodies, and they can rely on the engine to recover from fatal injuries. But her engine was damaged by an evil god back on the Northern Star."

"Although it was repaired later, her engine still couldn't repair her divine body and genes due to a lack of energy. So she told me that she needed to establish some kind of energy communication with me in order to share my energy to replenish the energy her engine lacked."

"At the time, I didn't understand what energy communication was. She told me that energy communication was gene fusion, like that thing between men and women. I really rejected her then and didn't immediately agree to establish that kind of energy communication with her."

"It was only later, when I saw she was dying, that I agreed to do *that* with her..."

In bed, Mu Xingchen's fingers gently caressed the "delicate" area around Qi Lin's waist.

He didn't tell his wife the whole truth.

But he had no choice; he was really afraid that Qilin wouldn't forgive him.

Even leaving him.

He couldn't accept the days without her.

We can only slightly change some "insignificant" facts.

"..."

After hearing him tell the truth, Qi Lin fell silent once again.

She had no doubt that her husband would lie to her.

She was speechless at the way those angels shared their energy.

Fortunately, her husband's mistake was to save the life of an ally.

Strictly speaking, this doesn't really count as infidelity.

In addition, his initiative to confess to her today made Qi Lin feel much better.

Yes, she didn't blame him for what happened between him and that angel.

She was simply "relieved" because she hadn't been wrong.

He genuinely had reasons for doing so, rather than truly wanting to cheat on his wife with that angel.

"Wife, I...I'm so sorry..."

Perhaps seeing that Qi Lin hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Xingchen was getting anxious.

He quickly apologized to his wife.

Although he knew that apologizing to soften her heart was a shameless act.

But he had to do it.

He really can't lose her...

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

Seeing his sincere tone and genuine remorse, Qi Lin didn't hold it against him and forgave him directly.

After all, he had his reasons for doing so, and it wasn't a true betrayal of their feelings.

"Honey, you really don't blame me?"

Mu Xingchen didn't expect Qi Lin to forgive him so calmly.

For a moment, I couldn't believe my ears.

"Um"

Qi Lin didn't explain further, but instead reached out and put her hand on him.

It seems they are trying to prove something through their actions.

"Wife, you're so good to me."

Feeling the warmth from her waist, Mu Xingchen tightened his arms around her waist.

He pressed himself tightly against her.

The two were so close they could almost touch each other's noses.

"Go to sleep, it's almost three o'clock."

As she spoke, Qilin lifted her leg and placed it on his leg.

It seemed that there was no rift between them because of what had just happened.

They are still the same loving couple.
