And so, from the mont Jiang Qiuqiu walked in, Mo Si was watching her with an expression that was hard to put into words.
It was a mixture of pity and relief, the kind of compassion an elder might feel for a junior who has gone through sothing difficult, yet also tinged with a strange sense of approval.
Jiang Qiuqiu: "..."
’Gentle but not weak,’ Mo Si thought. ’That perfectly describes a girl like Jiang Qiuqiu.’
After a while, Jiang Qiuqiu really couldn’t take it anymore and asked, "What is it? Black Hole, why do you keep looking at like that...?"
"It’s nothing. I was just thinking that the way you face things and the way you handle them are very different."
’My way of handling things? I haven’t handled anything in front of Black Hole, so how would he know what my way is... Wait!’
Jiang Qiuqiu connected the dots between the ssages she’d sent Black Hole a couple of days ago, his replies, and what he had just said today.
—I have sothing to do today, so I might be a little late for training.
—Are you upset?
—?? No, it’s just so work stuff.
—Sothing ca up again today, I...
—It’s fine if you don’t co today.
—I slled the aroma of your cooking again today. The food you make is delicious.
The timing of that, plus what he said today!
Jiang Qiuqiu looked startled. "You’re watching my livestream?"
Seemingly caught off guard by Jiang Qiuqiu’s strong reaction, Mo Si paused for a mont before giving a soft "mm," and saying, "Yes, I am."
Then, the person before him suddenly let out a soft "ah," covered her face with her hands, and collapsed onto the sofa.
Mo Si: ???
"What’s wrong?"
"How could you be watching my livestream?" It was just too awkward to describe. Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly felt very shy.
But Mo Si wasn’t one for emotions like shyness. He replied, "Because many people around watch it. They recomnded it to , so I watched."
"What’s wrong? You seem a bit... unable to accept the fact that I watch your livestream?"
With any other ordinary person, she probably wouldn’t have felt anything. But when that person was Black Hole, a sudden, indescribable bashfulness took hold.
’Damn it.’
"It’s always embarrassing when people you know watch, I..."
"Why?" Mo Si was puzzled. He fixed his gaze on Jiang Qiuqiu, his dark eyes filled with sincerity. "Your livestreams are very good. Everyone would like them. Why would you be embarrassed?"
In Mo Si’s eyes, only poor performance was sothing to be ashad of being seen.
Thus, Admiral Mo was utterly sincere when he spoke the truth.
Seeing that Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t speaking, he added, "I like it a lot. Watching your livestream every day makes very happy."
"..."
A wave of heat rose from sowhere unknown, and a sudden blush crept up her cheeks. Hearing his "I like it a lot" echoing in her ears, Jiang Qiuqiu instinctively turned her face away.
Her slightly flushed cheeks, her eyes like rippling water montarily looking away—Mo Si caught a glimpse and was, for a mont, slightly taken aback himself.
Mo Chengyu had just woken up. Thanks to Mo Si’s repeated Spiritual Combing sessions, she had been sleeping a lot lately. Between the sleep and her own body’s recovery, her spiritual power collapse was finally almost healed.
She had just finished a yawn and stepped out of her room when her eyes suddenly looked down and caught sight of—
She looked from one side, then the other. Finally, she opened her terminal’s holographic projection and zood in for a closer look. Oh, damn! What was going on here?
Her brother and her adorable Qiuqiu...
It was winter, after all.
This wasn’t supposed to be the season of growth, was it?
Just as she was sizing them up, the man downstairs suddenly turned his head and shot a glance in her direction. The look in his eyes was utterly chilling. Mo Chengyu shuddered, imdiately shut down the terminal’s recording, and zipped back into her bedroom.
