Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 288: Her Gaze, Too Direct

Jiang Qiuqiu had stayed up too late reading messages the night before, only managing to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning.

By the time she opened her eyes the next day, it was already almost ten o’clock.

’...Damn it, how did it get so late?’

Rubbing her head, Jiang Qiuqiu remembered she still had to go to Mo Si’s place for Spiritual Combing and to drink the Spirit Nourishing Liquid, so she hurriedly went to wash up.

Just as she finished changing, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Opening the door, she saw Mo Si standing quietly at the entrance, a bag in his hand.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Qiuqiu asked.

Mo Si raised a hand and pointed at his terminal. "It’s ten o’clock."

Alright, it was indeed a bit late. Jiang Qiuqiu invited Mo Si into the courtyard, and they sat down in the living room. Mo Si asked Jiang Qiuqiu—no, perhaps "asked" wasn’t the right word, because the man’s tone was so certain. "You stayed up late last night?"

"Went to bed very late?"

"Ah, no." Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head. "I went to bed very early."

Mo Si didn’t say whether he believed her or not. He just kept staring at Jiang Qiuqiu. Perhaps the young man’s gaze was too intense, because Jiang Qiuqiu felt a pang of guilt and turned her head away. "Alright, so I stayed up for a little while!"

After saying that, she turned the tables on him. "You suddenly told me you’d dealt with Jiang Tianming right before you left yesterday. Of course I’d get curious and couldn’t help but look it up..."

"Mm, my mistake." Mo Si agreed he was in the wrong. ’She’s still just a young girl. Upon hearing her enemy had fallen, of course she wouldn’t be able to resist looking into it and thinking about it.’ "I should have told you this morning instead."

He admitted his mistake so quickly that it made Jiang Qiuqiu a little embarrassed. "It’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have stayed up late while injured—"

"It’s fine." Mo Si smiled. "Just be more careful next time."

"Your health is the most important thing."

’Qiuqiu might be a little delicate,’ Mo Si thought, ’but she’s also well-behaved, reasonable, and does what she’s told.’

"Have you had breakfast? If so, we can start the Spiritual Combing."

"Not yet..."

And so, Mo Si ended up having breakfast with Jiang Qiuqiu.

It was a rare sunny winter day. Jiang Qiuqiu sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, while Mo Si pulled up a stool and sat opposite her.

The ideal state for Spiritual Combing was for the two to make eye contact, relax, and let their spiritual powers intertwine.

The injured areas were gently soothed as Mo Si’s vast, ocean-like spiritual power slowly flowed through Jiang Qiuqiu’s Spirit Sea. The sensation was so comfortable it was almost trance-inducing.

In her dazed state, Jiang Qiuqiu looked at the backlit figure of Mo Si and felt like she was gazing upon a young god.

His robes seemed to glow, and in the radiant light, the body beneath the loose fabric was far too clearly defined. Ah.

...

The extremely stable spiritual power trembled for a moment when Jiang Qiuqiu’s gaze shifted from his pupils and began to roam wantonly over his body.

’Her gaze is so strange. What is she thinking?’

In the slightly strange atmosphere, Mo Si finally finished Jiang Qiuqiu’s Spiritual Combing and let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Jiang Qiuqiu’s terminal suddenly rang. She looked up. "Black Hole, I need to take this call."

"Mm."

It was a call from Sister Mingmei.

"Qiuqiu, are you feeling any better?"

"I’m much better now."

"That’s good." Meimei breathed a sigh of relief. "Little President Qian and I were both very worried about you."

"Right, the reason I’m calling today is to ask when you think you can start streaming again?" After saying this, she immediately added, "I’m not trying to rush you, but the first round of selections for the annual PK ends in five days."

"Little President Qian and I took a look, and as it stands, your points are very solid. Qualifying in the top three shouldn’t be a problem. But the second round involves scheduled streamer PKs. If you don’t have enough time, Little President Qian and I will have to apply for a special delayed PK for you. Will you be able to make it for the PK?"
