Chapter 748: Chapter 767: How Can Saying Sorry Be All Talk
"The person who just showed up in the video... he’s number one in our class, a total training maniac. He wanted to train with me, but I can’t keep up with his pace anymore."
"It’s true, people from the Mecha Department are full of fighting spirit."
A sharp-eyed fan noticed that Qiuqiu seemed especially happy after stepping away for a moment and made a point to ask about it.
Jiang Qiuqiu said, "Wow!" her eyes sparkling. "Was it that obvious I’m happy?"
"My boyfriend just sent me a message, so that’s why I’m so happy."
More people started asking for details about her boyfriend, but of course, Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t going to say much. After mentioning her boyfriend, she quickly added that he was waiting for her and that she had to go video chat with her cutie.
"Michelle, Tingting, Meng Chun, I’m heading back now!"
"Quick, quick, go on!"
"We’ll be heading back later tonight!"
Qiuqiu trotted away, clearly in a hurry.
After Jiang Qiuqiu left, the number of viewers slowly dropped. Some people stuck around to ask about Qiuqiu’s personal life, but Michelle and the others obviously weren’t going to answer, so another wave of viewers left.
The viewership only stabilized an hour later.
At that point, amidst the chaotic flood of comments, the remarks from the gossiping onlookers finally became clear.
[So, in this story, does that mean Huo Jia—Mr. Huo—is completely out of the picture now?]
[He stood there for so long just to ask her to train?]
The onlookers: We don’t believe it!
Asking to train with a look like that?!
-
Of course, none of this commotion had anything to do with Jiang Qiuqiu.
She had already taken a Hovercar back to her dorm.
All was quiet around her as she started the video call.
It had been so very long, but the two of them were finally reconnected.
After being in battle for so long, Mo Si looked even more like chocolate.
He had lost the snow-white complexion he’d had in winter, back when their romance first began, and his skin had tanned to a wheaten color.
But with his prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and the straight bridge of his nose, he was still handsome. He looked a little haggard, but his gaze was as focused and intense as ever. The slight tan gave him a unique charm.
’He’s so handsome.’
Jiang Qiuqiu stared at the screen, not blinking once.
Mo Si was watching her, too.
Seeing her on a public stream and seeing her on a private video call were, after all, two completely different things.
The former was for everyone.
The latter was for him alone.
Clear and dazzling.
But—
"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Her stare was so intense he was starting to feel flustered.
"I’m looking at you."
"It’s been so long since I’ve seen you."
"I’m sorry," Mo Si said, a sudden wave of guilt washing over him. "We only just got together, and we’ve already been apart for so long."
"You’re right to be sorry," she agreed, her expression completely serious.
Mo Si froze, and a fresh wave of emotions washed over him.
’Every single night on the Polar Planet, he missed Qiuqiu terribly.’
’Feelings were like a double-edged sword.’
’When he had no one to worry about, he was a sharp blade, always forging ahead.’
’But now that he had someone to miss, all he wanted was to go home.’
He opened his mouth, about to apologize again, but felt that any words would be hollow. Nothing he could say would be enough.
Just as guilt began to well up inside him, Qiuqiu immediately added, "We only just got together, and you’re already making me miss you like this every single day."
"An apology by video? Just saying the words isn’t enough, you know. You need to show me some action, Little Panda," she said, her tone turning playful.
Mo Si: ??
"Action?"
"Is it a gift?" Mo Si asked quickly. "The night sky over the Polar Star is beautiful, too. I want to bring the aurora here back for you."
’Just like last time.’
"And, I saw a lot of people buying jewelry for their wives... I’ll buy you some when I get back, too."
Not just jewelry, but clothes, flowers, shoes—so many things. Mo Si wanted to buy them all for Qiuqiu.
Because this was how he’d seen other couples treat each other where he was.
He wanted that, too.
