Chapter 186: (#^.^#)
Downstairs, Jiang Qiuqiu felt it would be strange to keep making small talk, so she changed the subject. "When are we starting our Spiritual Training today?"
"We can start now."
Because she had been coming diligently and training with great focus, Jiang Qiuqiu’s spiritual power readings had shown subtle increases nearly every day for some time now.
After all, once Federation people awakened their spiritual power, if they didn’t undergo systematic training or actively use it, their spiritual power would slowly atrophy.
Eventually, they would just fade into mediocrity.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s initial spiritual power was B+ Level. It had dropped a little while she was on leave from her studies, but now she had mostly recovered it.
At this point, Jiang Qiuqiu handled B+ Level Spiritual Training as naturally as a fish in water.
Considering that she had cooked before coming over, which would have consumed some of her spiritual power, Mo Si didn’t initiate an A-level training session. Instead, he set it to B+ as a form of consolidation.
No words were spoken during the training. While Jiang Qiuqiu was completely immersed, Mo Si always managed to spare a part of his focus to observe her expression and state.
Whether she was at ease or exhausted, full of vigor or completely spent, he could always tell from her outward appearance.
So...
Mo Si’s thoughts drifted. ’So, why did Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly blush today?’
"..."
’Wait, what am I thinking about during training?!’
Night fell, and the training session ended.
Mo Si rubbed his temples as he took off his helmet.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiuqiu immediately asked, "Are you tired? I’ll come earlier next time."
"No. I’m not tired." Mo Si shook his head. "It’s something else."
"It’s not because you’re tired? You look a bit exhausted to me."
"...It’s still early." Now that the topic of him watching her livestreams was out in the open, Mo Si didn’t hold back. "Your showcase just opened for the night. Around this time, I’m usually either watching your stream or browsing your showcase. How could I be tired?"
"..."
Setting that topic aside for the moment, Mo Si checked her training results for the day. "Your performance has been getting more and more consistent lately, and your control over your spiritual power is much more fluid."
"Get a good rest on the day of the open admissions. As long as you can perform at this level, you’ll have no problem passing the Federation University entrance exam."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Black Hole, thank you for all your help."
The man simply hummed in response, neither moved nor excited. His expression didn’t change as he said plainly, "I’m happy to help you."
Jiang Qiuqiu set the food container she’d brought down on the floor and got ready to head home.
Mo Si walked her to the door. In the mixed glow of the moonlight and the lamps, he happened to notice that as Jiang Qiuqiu was leaving, her face had turned red again.
’So, why exactly is she blushing?’
’It’s not even hot out.’
-
Jiang Qiuqiu got home and immediately started rolling around on her bed.
’Black Hole next door is just too much! He says the most heart-fluttering things with such a serious tone, completely unaware of how charming he is.’
She hugged her blanket and stared at the ceiling. ’Black Hole is one of my livestream fans?’
’That name does seem a little familiar...’
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly sat up, opened her terminal, and searched her own social feed for a cooking demonstration post from a long time ago.
After scrolling for a while, she finally saw the name that had seemed so familiar.
Black Hole - Rice - Steamed Bun Video Showcase.
She opened the video, and even though there was no face, those hands and that... waist were instantly recognizable to Jiang Qiuqiu.
’So, it really is him?!’
’He has such a handsome face, he knows how to cook, and his voice is so pleasant.’
Jiang Qiuqiu’s heart couldn’t help but start to THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
’So, is this how a wealthy patron feels when she starts crushing on a handsome young wolf?’
