Chapter 270: The Assist: You’re the First Girl to Make Him Lose His Composure
"I’ve actually seen this scene many times," Mrs. Ai’er said, also standing on her tiptoes to take a look. "Every couple in love who comes to me for treatment is just like this."
"Chengyu, it’s about time your brother found himself a girlfriend."
After the people inside finished talking, Mo Chengyu and Mrs. Ai’er went in.
Jiang Qiuqiu, still half-lying in bed, greeted Mrs. Ai’er and Mo Chengyu.
With Mo Chengyu’s arrival, it was time for some girl talk. Plus, Mo Si had some things to attend to himself, so after giving Mo Chengyu a few instructions, he left.
From Mo Chengyu, Jiang Qiuqiu learned the full story in greater detail.
She quickly thanked Mrs. Ai’er, but Mrs. Ai’er waved her hand. "No need. Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you."
"Huh?"
"This old lady is thanking you for letting me witness such a rare sight." Mrs. Ai’er laughed heartily. "It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that boy so nervous about someone."
"Something I haven’t seen in over a decade. It’s quite a novelty."
After she said this, Jiang Qiuqiu paused for a moment, then broke into a huge smile—one so wide it made her eyes curve into crescents.
Her work done, Mrs. Ai’er waved her hand. "I’m going out to fish. You two take your time and chat."
"Sister Chengyu, thank you for taking the trouble to come see me when you’re so busy with work!"
"Qiuqiu, why are you always so formal?" Mo Chengyu said, rubbing her cheek. "Of course I was going to come see you when you got hurt."
"Those nobles are just shameless." Mo Chengyu had been stunned when she saw the news on her terminal.
These days, some of the Federation’s nobles are getting more and more shameless... They don’t even see others as human beings anymore.
"You knew about this too?"
Mo Chengyu nodded. Having been in contact for so long, she knew a little about Qiuqiu’s situation, so she didn’t hide the truth. "I was worried about you living alone when I left, so I spoke to someone I know in your neighborhood."
"They sent me a message two days ago, but I was at work and didn’t see it." Mo Chengyu sighed. "If only I hadn’t been working then. I could have talked you out of it, and this wouldn’t have happened."
"What’s the point of thinking about ’what ifs’? It already happened. It’s in the past, so let’s not talk about it!"
Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t like dwelling on unpleasant past events, so she changed the subject, pulling Mo Chengyu into a conversation about her work and some recent things related to her livestreams.
As they were talking, she noticed that although Mo Chengyu was looking at her, she seemed a bit distracted.
"Sister Chengyu?"
She called Mo Chengyu’s name twice before Mo Chengyu finally reacted. "Qiuqiu, what’s wrong?"
"You seem a little preoccupied."
"Because I’m thinking about something."
"Hm?"
’The answer to what Mo Chengyu wanted to know could only be found by asking Mo Si, and of course, she wouldn’t dare to ask him. But analyzing it from Mrs. Ai’er’s perspective and recalling all the little things that had happened at the villa... it seemed Mo Si was always exceptionally different with Qiuqiu.’
’She suddenly had a feeling that what Grandma Ai’er said might be right.’
She got lost in thought again. Jiang Qiuqiu grabbed her hand and pressed, "What are you really thinking about?"
’What she was thinking was something she absolutely could not say, but—’
As if on some strange impulse, Mo Chengyu asked, "Qiuqiu, what are your thoughts on Black Hole?" She wasn’t trying to dig for information, just asking casually.
"Him?" Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t say much, offering only a single comment: "I think he’s great."
The words were simple, but her gaze was not.
Mo Chengyu had never been in a relationship, but she had seen people who were in love.
