Chapter 275: You’re So Good
"You guys have such a strong ’good cook’ filter."
"I admit, I’m a little good-looking. But you guys are too good with compliments. You’re making me want to laugh out loud."
[Then laugh out loud!!!]
At first, everyone was pretty cautious. But after a few rounds of chatting, they realized Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t opposed to showing her face, so their questions grew bolder.
Someone asked why Jiang Qiuqiu hadn’t shown her face before.
"It felt like a bit of a hassle before," Jiang Qiuqiu said in a light tone. "Besides, I remember you all saying it yourselves: no person is as good-looking as a fried pork cutlet, Bibi Beast Meat meatballs, or pork belly with preserved vegetables."
"I think so too," she said wittily. "I didn’t want to appear on the same screen as someone more beautiful."
[Ooh!]
"Alright, alright, let’s skip this question."
[Fine, we won’t ask anymore. New question: will Juju do face-cam streams in the future?]
"Maybe." ’What I wanted to hide can’t be hidden anymore. Trying to hide it now would just be pretentious.’ "If you all would like that, I’ll consider it."
Row after row of "Like" scrolled by.
Someone else asked if Jiang Qiuqiu could show her face right now.
"I can’t. It’s too late, and I’m still in a hospital bed. Even though you all praise my natural beauty, I’m a total mess right now. I don’t want you to see me like this."
"The conversation is all about me. Why don’t we discuss the stream menu for after I recover instead? Let me see what everyone likes."
The topic finally got back on track. In the blink of an eye, it was eight o’clock.
Jiang Qiuqiu felt a little tired. Soon, her terminal chimed with a DING and automatically projected a message from Mo Si onto the wall.
Mo Si: It’s been over an hour. You should rest.
Mo Si: You’re injured. Time to sleep.
...
Jiang Qiuqiu paused. She couldn’t help but glance at the small camera on her terminal. ’Is he watching the stream right now?’
"Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s wrap it up for today." Jiang Qiuqiu waved to everyone. "I’ll announce the specific date for my return stream in my circle ahead of time. You can all join Juju’s Circle to stay updated on my activities~"
"Goodbye!"
Jiang Qiuqiu turned off the terminal’s camera, sat up, and retrieved it.
She started messaging Mo Si.
Jiang Qiuqiu (Soldier S): Were you watching my stream?
Black Hole: Mmm. I saw the notification that you went live. I thought you were going to cook tonight.
Jiang Qiuqiu (Soldier S): Shocked/No way, I’m still injured.
Black Hole: You were injured before, too.
’The subtext was, "And you did it anyway, didn’t you?"’
Jiang Qiuqiu (Soldier S): Wah, are you going to hold that one thing over my head forever?! I didn’t even cook today.
Mo Si had taken some time today to get orders approved by the Cabinet and the council. He had just gotten back and sat down when he saw Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream go live. His brow furrowed, thinking the young woman was disobeying him and busying herself with work again.
Only after listening for a while did he realize she was just giving an update.
Black Hole: You didn’t. You were very well-behaved today.
’Well-behaved?’
’Huh, he actually used that word to describe me.’
Jiang Qiuqiu (Soldier S): Were you busy again today? I didn’t see you come back.
Black Hole: Dealing with some trouble.
Black Hole: Mo Chengyu will be here today and tomorrow to look after you. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.
Jiang Qiuqiu (Soldier S): Okay.
Mo Si was still messaging with Jiang Qiuqiu when Qiudao knocked on the door. Mo Si put his hand over his terminal. "Come in."
Qiudao was also dressed in a neat military uniform.
"Admiral, everything is ready!"
Mo Si grunted in acknowledgment and stood up. As he rose, a dark green half-cape slowly draped down.
He too was wearing a crisp military uniform today.
Outside the office, a squad of imposing soldiers stood waiting at the entrance to the training grounds. Changbei was among them.
Clearly, tonight was going to be a sleepless night.
