Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 218: Actually, It Has Nothing to Do with You

The air was filled with the smell of fried food. Even with the windows open and the air purifier running, the delicious aroma was hard to mask.

Jiang Qiuqiu said, "The smell in the room is a little strong, I hope you don’t mind."

"I don’t. It smells wonderful in here."

She poured a cup of tea for her visitor, then sat down across from him. "You said you had something to discuss. What is it?" ’To come over in such a hurry...’ "Is it about the Federation University’s public admissions?"

"No."

"Then what is it?"

Mo Si put down his cup and looked at Jiang Qiuqiu with great solemnity. "I’m here to apologize for what happened today."

"Apologize for today?" Jiang Qiuqiu looked utterly confused. "What happened today? Nothing bad happened."

"There was." Mo Si was quick to admit his mistake, pointing out, "I shouldn’t have used that tone of voice, I shouldn’t have used that teaching method, and I shouldn’t have said that you couldn’t hit me."

"My teaching was flawed, so I came to apologize."

He looked so earnest in his apology, but—

Jiang Qiuqiu let out a little sound of surprise. "Not at all! There was nothing wrong with your teaching today. Having my spiritual power go in and out like that really helped me remember it more clearly. I didn’t think you did anything wrong."

As a teacher, Mo Si was truly more than qualified.

He would help Jiang Qiuqiu analyze and solve problems from many different angles, and no matter what she asked, he could always provide a detailed answer.

He never lost his temper and was never stingy with his praise. You couldn’t hire a teacher like that, even if you had the money.

"You’re really great."

"I was in the wrong."

"...You weren’t."

Her words didn’t seem feigned, so—

Mo Si looked her straight in the eye. "If there was nothing wrong, then why were you angry?"

"Huh?" Jiang Qiuqiu was even more confused. "How was I angry? I’m not angry."

"You were."

"I really wasn’t."

"You were." Mo Si was certain of it, and he had evidence to prove it. "You were different from usual for much of today."

"...How so?"

Mo Si said, "First, when you used to come back from training, you would always talk to me about the next day’s plans. You didn’t today."

"Second, your mental state was off today. Today’s practice was tiring, but it wasn’t the most intense session we’ve had. Yet, your mood was the most off today."

"And finally, your tone when you chat with me has changed."

"...What do you mean, my tone changed?"

SWOOSH. Mo Si projected his terminal’s screen into the air.

In an instant, the chat window between Mo Si and Jiang Qiuqiu appeared in the space between them.

"Here."

With a quick swipe, he scrolled up.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes widened, and she nearly spat out the water in her mouth. She coughed a couple of times. She hadn’t thought anything of it when she sent the messages before, but looking back at them now, she felt like she was about to die of social embarrassment.

"Your messages used to be very..." Mo Si searched for an adjective. "Very cute and lively."

"But today was different."

’No kidding they’re not the same,’ she thought. ’Before, I thought the affection between me and Mo Si was mutual, so naturally, I’d act a little cute and flirty when I talked to him. But today, I found out my feelings are just a one-way street.’

...

’Now that the fantasy is shattered, of course I’m going to be down for a while.’

’So naturally, my tone went back to its normal state for the time being.’

But who would have thought that Mo Si, who was usually so dense, would be observant enough to notice such a tiny change and think she was angry.

"The change in my tone wasn’t because of the training."
