Chapter 148: The Unlucky Three-Piece Set
After Mo Si saw Jiang Qiuqiu mention in her livestream that she was collaborating with Federation Express, he immediately contacted Mo Chengyu.
Mo Chengyu: ? Brother, what are you trying to say?
Mo Si: The courier company is establishing a presence. Notify the surrounding areas and approve it.
Mo Chengyu: ...
Mo Chengyu: Alright.
’Unbelievable. It’s so late, and I was about to fall asleep. All for him to contact me about something so trivial.’
Muttering to herself, Mo Chengyu made the arrangements.
The wheels of time began to turn, and with them, Jiang Qiuqiu’s new journey set sail!
-
The next morning, Jiang Qiuqiu had already received the food she wanted. Keeping her promise to host a special stream for her unlucky fans, she had placed an order on Taotao Fresh in the wee hours of the morning.
Since this was to give back to her fans, she decided to make a few classic dishes—
She’d use a classic Braised Pork Belly as the main course, paired with a simple Stir-fried Bok Choy to cut the richness. White Rice was, of course, a must. As for the last item... Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes landed on the grapes in the thermostatic box, and an idea sparked.
’For the last item, I’ll add a drink. I’ll make a Smashed Grape Milk, which used to be really popular.’
With the menu decided, Jiang Qiuqiu quickly gathered her things and got to work in the kitchen.
She cut the pork belly into small cubes with an even ratio of fat to meat, then blanched them. Next, she heated oil in a wok, stir-frying green onions and ginger until fragrant before adding the pork belly.
With no livestream running, the kitchen was quiet. Jiang Qiuqiu’s movements were fluid and graceful, and the authentic aroma of the food drifted out the window and far beyond.
「Elsewhere.」
Mo Chengyu inhaled deeply. "Ah, is Qiuqiu cooking this early today?"
"Did she tell you she was coming to train her spiritual power today?"
"She did," Mo Chengyu said, propping her chin on her hand and gazing into the distance. "She said she’ll be coming over every morning for a while."
"Coming so frequently all of a sudden?" Mo Si asked. "Did something happen recently?"
"She didn’t say specifically." As a considerate older sister figure, Mo Chengyu knew better than to pry. "Besides, didn’t you say you were going to handle Qiuqiu’s spiritual power training yourself from now on? If you want to know, you can just ask her."
"She finds you very approachable, you know."
"Oh," Mo Si said. "Then I’ll ask."
’She finds me approachable? I guess a smile really is the best way to connect with people.’
’But the thought had barely crossed his mind when he glanced back and saw Mo Chengyu’s smile. He then decided the idea was too simplistic. Sometimes, an ill-timed smile just makes you question the person’s intelligence.’
"Anyway, Brother, let’s talk about you," Mo Chengyu said, standing up and circling Mo Si. "Why are you dressed so strangely today?"
"You’re not on patrol, not giving a speech, not presenting an award or giving a pep talk... so why are you suddenly wearing such a long trench coat?"
Mo Si looked Mo Chengyu up and down. "You don’t put half this much thought into your own spiritual power recovery. I just change one item of clothing, and you notice it faster than anyone."
’Shot down again!’ Mo Chengyu was speechless. She rolled her eyes and returned to her seat.
The aroma of the Braised Pork Belly grew stronger and stronger, and the two of them ate their breakfast accompanied by the tantalizing scent.
At a little after ten in the morning, a knock finally sounded at the door of the small castle.
Mo Si went to open the door. Sure enough, it was Jiang Qiuqiu.
-
When the door opened, the light from outside shone directly onto the face of the person answering it.
From a photography standpoint, this is a particularly unflattering type of light, one that illuminates every possible flaw on a person’s face—
However, none of that mattered in the face of divine beauty.
