"Can I choose tofu? I had it once before and it was delicious!"
"Sure, how about we make—"
"No, wait a minute." Mo Chengyu faltered again, her pretty eyes sparkling. "How about bamboo shoots? Bamboo shoots are delicious too!"
"That works too. We could make a dish of..."
"Wait again! Bibi Beast at..."
"Fish!"
After thinking for over ten minutes, Mo Chengyu was still torn, trying to choose between fish, Bibi Beast at atballs, and bamboo shoots.
"Fish is fragrant, soft, and smooth, and the taste is impeccable, but just eating fish feels like sothing’s missing."
"Bibi Beast at is very fragrant, but eating only Bibi Beast at can get a little heavy."
"Bamboo shoots are the tastiest, but I’ve really eaten them so, so, so many tis." Mo Chengyu couldn’t even count how many tis Jiang Qiuqiu had brought them over. "But even so, I still really want to eat them."
On anyone else, such an indecisive look might seem greedy or ungrateful. But when Mo Chengyu made these little expressions, it was completely natural. Her mature, cool face paired with those lost, conflicted little glances was unbelievably cute.
Jiang Qiuqiu cleared her throat twice and said, "Why don’t we have stir-fried bamboo shoots with at this ti, and then we can eat the other things slowly next ti?"
"If only we could just eat them slowly..."
Mo Chengyu sighed. "My spiritual power has healed, so I’ll be returning to my post soon. My job is pretty demanding, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to find the ti then." Although she had previously joked about freeloading als at Federation University.
"But my work at the research institute is highly confidential. Once a project starts, as a researcher, I can’t just co and go as I please."
She sighed again.
The sudden news left Jiang Qiuqiu stunned for a mont.
After all, since she had truly started to engage with this era and this world, Mo Chengyu was the first person she had gotten to know. And on this unfamiliar path, this ’older sister’ had given her so much advice and help.
These easy and pleasant days of living next door and seeing each other every day... It seed she was about to face her first farewell in this new era.
’It’s true. Even if Mo Chengyu wasn’t going back to work for now, once I start school, we’ll grow distant anyway.’
"What’s with that face? You can’t bear to part with ?" Mo Chengyu tutted, then said with a touch of narcissism, "It seems my charisma really is quite powerful!"
"There’s nothing to be sad about. We’re both on Federation Star, and our terminals are so advanced, opening a holographic room is just like being face-to-face! Besides, I’ll co visit you when I have ti."
"Whoa, don’t look at like that, you’re breaking my heart! Qiuqiu, don’t you cry!"
Her rapid-fire triple-take dispelled the sorrow of parting. Jiang Qiuqiu made a sound of agreent. "Right, we can keep in touch often through our terminals from now on!"
"So, what are we eating today—"
"I really am a greedy woman, I want everything!" Mo Chengyu was still thinking hard.
Jiang Qiuqiu looked at her and interjected, "Since you want everything, let’s just make everything."
"?"
"Let’s make a dish where we can cook all of these ingredients together."
’Barbecue is too much trouble. Fried food is good, but I always end up making a special feature on fried foods. This ti, why not...’
’Let’s make skewers.’
’For those who prefer a milder flavor, we can use a rich broth base and let it simr, so they can savor the food’s original taste.’
’For those who like it spicy, a red chili oil hot pot would offer a completely different, wonderful flavor.’
"Don’t worry, it’s not any trouble."
"I just might need Sister Chengyu to help with a little work."
"What?"
"Putting the food on skewers."
