Chapter 126: Her Ideal Type
Chapter 126: Her Ideal Type
Jiang Qiuqiu hurried toward Mo Chengyu’s little castle, carrying a large container of rice.
Today, she’d taken a huge step toward her dreams in this new era. After finishing her call with Meimei, she spent some time browsing her private social circle and the comments section.
Adorable fans are such a joy!
’I have to celebrate with Sister Chengyu today!’ And since it was a celebration, just a few dishes wouldn’t do. She went straight to Taotao Fresh, bought a pile of ingredients, and cooked ten different dishes to make a "perfect ten."
Considering Sister Chengyu had quite a few people in her household, Jiang Qiuqiu made larger portions. But with so many dishes, she couldn’t carry everything herself.
So, Jiang Qiuqiu had her butler robot deliver the food ahead, while she followed behind, huffing and puffing as she carried a large container of rice.
Obviously, the long-legged robot was much faster than the short-legged Jiang Qiuqiu. It arrived first and rang the doorbell.
Jiang Qiuqiu was just about to reach her destination herself. Watching the entrance from a short distance, she noticed the robot seemed to be stuck at the door. ’Hasn’t it gone in yet?’
Feeling a little puzzled, she quickened her pace.
As she drew closer, she saw what looked like a very, very tall young man standing across from the robot.
’I don’t think I’ve ever seen him at Sister Chengyu’s house before.’
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Qiuqiu took a few more steps, tilting her head to sneak a peek at Mo Si.
A long, long time ago, back when Jiang Qiuqiu was still in the 21st century, she’d been a wealthy woman. And though she’d never been in a relationship, she had always known exactly what her ideal type was—
’Ah, the best would be one of those boys with a soft, boyish look, full of vibrant energy that could make an old soul like me feel young again.’
’But not *too* soft, because an overly soft boy might be clingy and lack a certain... edge. The best would be a little bit soft, but also a little bit not.’
’To put it in terms usually used for women, he’d be both innocent and sultry.’
’Someone endearing, but who also has an awe-inspiring, almost untouchable quality.’
’And his voice shouldn’t be whiny. It should be composed and self-assured, the kind that carries a bit of weight.’
’Piecing it all together: a young man with eyes like a fawn, a stern expression on his face, his voice a little deep as he says, "How could you stay up all night just to make money? You shouldn’t do that." How perfect is that?’
But back then, her friend had told her that such a person didn’t exist—only in the 2D world.
Of course, the Jiang Qiuqiu of that time had thought so too.
That entire belief—that he couldn’t exist—was suddenly shattered at this very moment.
Because the person standing across from the butler robot fit that description to a T.
Any more, and he would have seemed too gentle; any less, and he would have been too stern.
Such an intense gaze could not escape Mo Si’s notice. He tensed for a moment, then his eyes moved past the robot to look behind it. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Qiuqiu.
She was quite different from what he’d imagined. Mo Si had assumed a girl so petite would look childlike and cute. But Jiang Qiuqiu’s face was that of a young woman.
A young woman with black hair and skin as white as snow. The first word that came to mind upon seeing her was "beautiful."
Their eyes met.
In the end, it was Jiang Qiuqiu who broke the silence. "I’m looking for Mo Chengyu," she asked directly. "Is she in this afternoon?"
"She had to go out for a last-minute Spiritual Combing test this afternoon. She’s not here."
"Oh, in that case—" ’An urgent matter, then?’ Jiang Qiuqiu hesitated, wondering if she should just go home.
Mo Si seemed to sense her hesitation and quickly added, "The test doesn’t take very long. Would you like to come in and wait?"
Ordinarily, since Mo Chengyu wasn’t home, Jiang Qiuqiu should have picked another time to visit.
But sometimes, a handsome face is very hard to refuse.
Breaking with etiquette, she led her butler robot through the door.
