Chapter 237: Adorable
She slept soundly until morning.
Jiang Qiuqiu was in a great mood. After whipping up a sumptuous breakfast at home, she headed over to Mo Chengyu’s house.
"Qiuqiu, you’re here so early today!"
"Huh?" Jiang Qiuqiu touched her cheek, feeling a little embarrassed. "Am I disturbing you?"
"Of course not. I get up early too," Mo Chengyu said, looking Jiang Qiuqiu over carefully. "You seem even happier today than you were yesterday."
"That’s because something wonderful happened yesterday."
"That’s true." Mo Chengyu had seen how hard Jiang Qiuqiu had been training her spiritual power, so an improvement was definitely something worth celebrating.
It was still early, and they had planned to do some spiritual power training. But the aroma of the meal was just too tempting, so the two of them finished breakfast together first.
They had eaten a little too much and were quite full, which made them feel a bit sluggish.
Mo Chengyu suggested, "It’s still early anyway. Why don’t we rest for a bit before we train?"
"That works for me!"
With nothing to do, they settled in to relax.
And relaxing, of course, led to chatting.
Besides sharing fun anecdotes about Federation University and talking about the new chancellor, their conversation slowly drifted to Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestreams.
"You’re in that PK competition right now, aren’t you?"
"...How did you know, Sister Chengyu?"
"Even Black Hole is watching your livestreams," Mo Chengyu said with a wink. "Of course I can’t be left behind."
"Oh." Jiang Qiuqiu covered her face with her hands.
"What, are you shy now?" Mo Chengyu shook her head, her expression a mix of fondness and exasperation. "What is there to be shy about! Be bolder, be more confident! Your food is so delicious, it wouldn’t be surprising if everyone in the interstellar community came to watch!"
"I’m not shy," Jiang Qiuqiu said, propping her chin on her hand. "I just can’t quite picture you and Black Hole watching my livestream."
"What’s so hard to picture about me? You just turn on a screen and watch!" Mo Chengyu gestured with her hands. "But I don’t really like watching the livestreams. I’d rather be at your place, watching you cook and eating as you go!"
"If you’re curious, you can just come over!"
"Nah, I’d better not. I’m afraid I’d eat everything before you even get a chance to share it with your audience," Mo Chengyu teased. "They’d probably hunt me across the stars for that."
"Me watching is nothing special. I’m actually more curious about how Black Hole watches."
’I mean...’
’Does he watch with a deadpan expression, as if he were attending a council meeting? That would be too strange.’
’But him making all sorts of expressions like a fan would be just as strange.’
’It was a scene she had never witnessed, one she couldn’t even begin to imagine.’
The topic drifted, and once food was mentioned, their mouths couldn’t help but start watering again.
Knowing it was Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream day, Mo Chengyu asked curiously, "Qiuqiu, what are you planning to make today?"
"Today?" Jiang Qiuqiu paused. "I haven’t decided yet."
Ever since she got new preservation equipment for her home, Jiang Qiuqiu had been buying groceries in bulk from Taotao Fresh and stocking up, which made it convenient to start a livestream at a moment’s notice.
"You haven’t decided yet?!" Mo Chengyu said in surprise. "But you’re supposed to start tonight!"
"There’s still plenty of time."
"No, there isn’t! How about we brainstorm what you should make tonight right now!"
Since a second person had inserted herself into the planning, Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but ask, "In that case, Sister Chengyu, what would you like to eat?"
"Me? You want my opinion?"
"Yep."
Unlike others who might have politely refused, Mo Chengyu burst out laughing as soon as she heard the offer and immediately leaned in closer. "In that case, I’d be honored!"
"Then I’ll tell you what I want!"
"Go on, tell me." ’Sister Chengyu is just too cute.’ "When it’s done, we can have it as a late-night snack together!"
