Chapter 920: Chapter 939: Mo Si’s Self-Reflection: I Lack Restraint
The weekend passed in a flash. It was Monday again.
In the past, Qiuqiu would always take a Hovercar to school on Sunday nights, but today, everything was different. Waking up bright and early, Mo Si drove the Hovercar in the chill of the winter morning to drop Qiuqiu off at school.
Qiuqiu was a little sleepy. "I went to bed too late," she yawned.
Hearing those words, Mo Si felt a little uneasy.
Qiuqiu looked at his fidgeting and burst out laughing. "Hey, what are you thinking about again?"
"I lacked self-control." He truly regretted it. "I forgot you had classes today."
"I can only blame my poor stamina. Look at you—you went to bed even later than I did and you have to work today too, yet you look much more energetic than I do," Jiang Qiuqiu said teasingly. "It seems my training as a Mecha Soldier is still lacking.
"I need to train hard this week!"
"..."
"Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you not support my hard training, Mo Si?"
Of course he supported her, but now was not the time to say so. It would make him seem too calculating.
When he remained silent, Qiuqiu sighed. "Fine, even if you don’t say it, I’m still going to train hard.
"Because I don’t want to be this sleepy anymore."
To an outsider, this was a perfectly normal conversation. But to Mo Si, it sounded intimately suggestive. Every single word and every pitch of her voice caused his imagination to run wild.
PHEW.
As the Hovercar sped through the air, Mo Si said earnestly, "Do you really have to talk about this right now?
"You have class soon. I don’t want you to be late."
"What happened to the self-control you’re always so proud of?"
"You’re always dancing on the very edge of my self-control," Mo Si replied.
Qiuqiu chuckled.
"By the way, regarding that issue on your feed yesterday, do you need the Sixth Army to step in?" Before going to bed last night, Mo Si and Qiuqiu had snuggled under the covers together and scrolled through the comments in her fan group. It was supposed to be a relaxing pre-sleep activity, but unexpectedly, a dispute had broken out at some point.
Amidst the comments from Qiuqiu’s fans, a few glaring remarks stood out: [It’s tasty, sure, but does it really have the advertised healing effects?], [The healing effects feel like pure placebo], [Is this false advertising?], and [It’s already delicious enough. Why use this to promote it instead of just focusing on the taste...].
The scale was too large and the participating fans were far too active; it was glaringly obvious that these were paid trolls. However, the topic still generated a high level of discussion. After all, everyone was genuinely curious about how much truth there was to the claims of healing.
In reality, within this kind of digital transmission, the only people who could feel a noticeable difference were those with poor health or who experienced extreme exhaustion. Alternatively, it had to be people with keen perception and high spiritual power. But such people were a minority on the Star Network. Those who experienced extreme exhaustion were usually either in the military or overworked corporate drones, and they rarely had the time to argue with the masses online.
Therefore, the vast majority of people only experienced subtle sensations—such as feeling in a slightly better mood today, not being quite as tired as before, or perhaps sleeping a little better. Bringing up these kinds of things didn’t exactly constitute strong evidence.
Feeling as if they had gained the upper hand, the skeptics were absolutely thrilled with themselves.
Hence, Mo Si had asked if the Sixth Army should step in to clarify things. Something that even the officials ordered as a substitute for Nutrient Liquids was undeniably incredible! If they came forward to publicly endorse it, everything would be smoothly resolved.
But Qiuqiu had refused.
"I’m not rejecting my boyfriend’s help. It’s just that there are too many incidents like this, so making a special clarification is unnecessary," Qiuqiu smiled slyly. "Besides, everyone will discover the truth on their own."
Mo Si wondered how the people online were going to find out about such a private matter if neither of them said anything.
