Chapter 907: Chapter 926: Here We Go Again! Here We Go Again! ’A Kiss Will Make It Better’ Is All Fake
"Did you want a pre-dinner kiss, or are today’s dishes not to your liking? Did I come back too late? Or what is it?" Qiuqiu looked straight at Mo Si, clearly knowing exactly what was going on.
Under the slightly yellow lighting, at the long dining table filled with steam and mouth-watering aromas, Qiuqiu even teased him, "What do I have to do for Brother Mo Si to forgive me and stop being mad?"
She pouted, her rosy, peach-colored lips taking on the appearance of a cherry. It was clearly a somewhat contrived gesture, but when she did it, it was exceptionally cute.
But the cutest thing wasn’t this posture. It was that phrase—Brother Mo Si. The man didn’t seem to change on the outside, but after those words circled his ears, they instantly ignited a boundless heat within him.
"I want a kiss."
Then, she embarked on a ’cross-country trek’—dodging the table like a little missile, she crashed into his embrace with a huff and a puff, and tilted her head up.
...
"Alright!" Her lips were a little swollen. "If we don’t eat now, it’s really going to get cold.
"I came back specifically to make this for you!"
She told him to behave; it was time to eat! Once the meal started, Mo Si didn’t let Qiuqiu return to the opposite side of the table; instead, he kept her by his side.
While eating, it was easy to recall important matters. Qiuqiu took a bite of a crisp bamboo shoot and suddenly remembered that there was still something she hadn’t asked.
"Oh right, Mo Sisi, you must have heard when you took that call earlier. Our company is going to be sponsored with a Level 10 Mechanical Brain by the Sixth Legion—"
"Yes, I know."
"It seems like you’re in charge over there."
As soon as she said that, Mo Si knew what she was thinking. "There were no backdoor deals."
After saying that, he played a pre-prepared voice recording for Qiuqiu to hear. It consisted of a few messages Mo Xin had sent him. Judging from the tone of the chat, Mo Xin probably didn’t know about the relationship between Qiuqiu and Mo Si. She naturally assumed that Mo Si hated Qiuqiu and had argued strongly to fight for benefits on Qiuqiu’s behalf.
"Why do you always think someone is pulling strings for you?" Mo Si suddenly nudged Qiuqiu gently with his elbow.
Qiuqiu immediately turned to face him. "What is it?"
"I suddenly want to praise you."
"...For what?" Qiuqiu looked suspicious.
Mo Si said, "You’ve been sighing lately, and you always underestimate yourself.
"You study and train hard to make yourself better, so you need to recognize your own strengths.
"It’s inevitable that people will come looking to collaborate with you because you are the most outstanding Spirit Healing Master of the younger generation." He didn’t even add the caveat ’one of the most’. "You are the most unique Spirit Healing Master currently on record."
Although Mo Si didn’t know how to do business, he felt that the New Star app’s evaluation of Qiuqiu was too outdated. Qiuqiu needed to transition. However, this was a broad concept. Mo Si could only sense the general direction; if asked how to do it specifically, he couldn’t really articulate it. But Qiuqiu could grasp the general idea. Anyway, one person explained it with half-baked clarity, and the other listened with half-baked understanding.
Chatting while eating and eating while chatting, the giant competitive eater and the miniature competitive eater demolished the food on the table before 10:30 p.m. As per usual, the robot butler came over to clean up the mess.
Although they could stomach it, eating so much made Qiuqiu and Mo Si still—no, it should be said that Qiuqiu was still a bit stuffed. Mo Si’s stomach was connected to a Black Hole, so he wasn’t stuffed at all. But since Qiuqiu was a bit bloated, the two of them decided it would be better to take a walk before bed.
Starry Sky Wander was massive. On this October night, the air was already filled with a deep chill. It hadn’t snowed yet, but it wouldn’t be many days now. According to the usual weather patterns, it would start snowing on the Federation Star in mid-to-late October.
"When it snows, we’ll see fewer of the Xingxings in the sky, right?"
