Chapter 967: Chapter 986: How Do You Know Big Brother Is Decent
Not only did he stop wearing scarves, but he rarely wore heavy coats anymore. It seemed the other girl had changed him a great deal.
As soon as he left, his female cousins launched into one final round of discussion about him. The way Mo Si had been chatting in the living room earlier was just too—too gentle. Everyone was guessing what he had been talking about.
"What could they be talking about to make him blush in broad daylight?"
"I feel like it couldn’t have been anything much, right?" an older cousin around Mo Si’s age said. "He’s so rigid and by-the-book. Even though he’s in a relationship, he’d probably blush just saying ’I like you.’"
"I don’t think so. They’ve been dating for a year!"
"Mo Si looks like the type who is strictly disciplined. Let alone a year, even if they had been dating for that long, I feel like he and that girl would still have a purely platonic relationship." This younger cousin had absolute faith in Mo Si. "He is a very decent, highly responsible person."
Everyone unanimously agreed with this statement.
Except for Mo Chengyu and another younger cousin. "I think his relationship is far less bound by dogmatic rules than you all imagine," Mo Chengyu said.
"?"
"If he really followed the rules, he wouldn’t have found a girlfriend who is about the same age as me, right?"
Being the same age as her meant that when Mo Si was in college, his future bride wasn’t even born yet.
The discussion was forced to an abrupt halt right then and there.
Mo Si returned to Starry Sky Wander.
For some reason, he had felt a deep sense of urgency on his way back. Regardless, the moment he stepped inside and saw the familiar furnishings, and saw her lounging on the sofa, it felt as though his heart was suddenly completely filled. He rushed over to claim a kiss, but she pressed her hand against his lips.
"Wait! Explain everything first!" she demanded.
She wanted to know if he had asked his family clearly. What date were they coming, and what time?
Mo Si shook his head and relayed Grandma Mo’s invitation for her to visit them instead.
Qiuqiu didn’t know the customs of Star Pole. In fact, she didn’t think there was anything offensive about cooking a meal and inviting her boyfriend’s family over. However, since the other party had extended an invitation, Qiuqiu naturally wouldn’t disrespect an elder. She agreed.
As she continued listening, she heard Mo Si mention moving the meeting up and keeping it separate from the New Year’s Eve family dinner. Qiuqiu hummed in acknowledgment. "Look at you being all thoughtful and attentive again."
Going to the Mo Family’s home—even though she was mentally strong and had complete faith in her relationship with Mo Si, the classic scenario of meeting the parents still inevitably made her feel nervous.
"How many people are in your family? How many gifts should I buy?"
Qiuqiu immediately recalled Mo Si mentioning before that the Mo Family was quite a large clan. Many uncles and cousins attended their annual reunion dinners.
"You don’t need to buy too many. Three gifts will be enough," he replied.
"?"
The number of people plummeted just like that?
When Qiuqiu pressed him for details, Mo Si confessed that he had told his aunts to go back to their respective homes.
Jiang Qiuqiu stared at him in disbelief, utterly at a loss for words. She felt a sense of helplessness, yet her heart also felt sweet.
"What were you thinking?" Qiuqiu sighed, unable to hold back her exasperation. "We’re going to have a meal, meet up, and get to know each other. Why would you deliberately tell your aunts to go home? Now they’re going to think you have a problem with them."
Mo Si hadn’t thought that far ahead, but he insisted, "They won’t think I have a problem with them."
"Even if they don’t mind, you can’t just do that. Tell your family that anyone who has the time is welcome to come."
"Then they’ll all have time," Mo Si said seriously. "They are all very curious about you."
Then let them come, she thought. She would just be looked at; everyone’s intentions were probably kind anyway. After talking it over, Mo Si decided to listen to his girlfriend.
Thus, just as the flights touched down and the sky turned pitch black, Grandma Mo sent another message in the Mo Family group chat:
[Anyone who has time on December 26th is welcome to attend the family banquet!]
[PS: There is a surprise combo package!]
[1. The Imperial Blade cooking in person.
2. The little girl who has the Imperial Blade wrapped around her little finger.]
Aunt: I don’t know about any surprise combo packages, but I do know that he got chewed out by his little girl after going back.
