Chapter 519: Chapter 538: If Only Qiuqiu Called Him Mo Si

Even though she scoffed inwardly, Jiang Qiuqiu still gave Mo Si a kiss.

Her soft lips pressed against his chin with a couple of loud smacks, and Mo Si’s grip on her hand tightened desperately.

’Silly boy, thinking a kiss on the cheek is the whole world!’

After that simple kiss, Mo Si was in high spirits. Jiang Qiuqiu leaned back on the sofa. It was still early. They had already finished breakfast, and with two hours left until lunch, Qiuqiu could still lounge on the sofa for another half an hour.

Mo Si looked at his girlfriend. Yes, *girlfriend*. The word echoed in his mind, making his heart race uncontrollably.

Why had he switched from shy to natural so quickly? It was because Mo Si had spent the entire night thinking about it—he and Qiuqiu liked each other. They were dating!

Why had he been shy before? Because his mind was in turmoil, because of that hazy, gauzy feeling. Plus, they weren’t officially together, so of course doing something so intimate would be embarrassing!

And why was he so natural now? Because they were dating.

Mo Si thought, ’We’re dating, so isn’t it normal to want to kiss?’

At this thought, he leaned a little closer to Jiang Qiuqiu and started praising her. "Qiuqiu, you’re amazing. The New Year’s Eve dinner was so delicious. You were the number one trending topic on the Star Network."

"You’re the most incredible person on the entire Star Network. Everyone loves your cooking. You’re the best chef in the whole Federation, bar none."

"..." Jiang Qiuqiu, who had been resting with her eyes closed, had no choice but to open them. "Stop, Black Hole, stop complimenting me. You’re exaggerating way too much."

"Why should I stop?" Mo Si asked, confused. "Your two friends praised you. If they can praise you, so can I. And how is it an exaggeration? Isn’t it the truth?"

He was spouting these over-the-top compliments, yet his gaze was utterly sincere.

’So he really believes all that, huh?’

Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly felt her face begin to burn.

She couldn’t stay seated any longer. She turned her head and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? It’s almost time, should we go start cooking?"

"Are we eating earlier than usual today? Are you hungry?" Mo Si answered Qiuqiu’s question earnestly. "I’m fine with anything. I’ll eat whatever you make."

"Then I’ll just make whatever." She stood up and tried to pull her hand away. "Let go, I’m going to cook now."

But Mo Si naturally stood up with her. "Then let’s go together."

"I’m just making four dishes, I don’t need your help. It’ll be quick."

"How can I do that? I’m not your guest anymore, I’m your boyfriend," Mo Si said. "How can I just sit here and wait for you to cook for me?"

Before Jiang Qiuqiu could say a word, Mo Si was already walking ahead, pulling her along.

’Alright, then.’

’I’m being dominated.’

Some unexpected things had happened last night, and in her excitement, Jiang Qiuqiu hadn’t ordered any new groceries from Taotao Fresh. There were no robot deliveries today, so all they had was the existing stock in the fridge.

Jiang Qiuqiu opened the refrigerator. Fortunately, even though it was just their stock, the contents could still be described as dazzlingly well-stocked.

Seeing the ingredients, Jiang Qiuqiu’s hands started to itch with the urge to cook.

"Four dishes... let’s do three dishes and a soup. There are still some tomatoes left, so I’ll make tomato and egg soup. And we have Bibi Beast Meat, which we can stir-fry. As for greens and radishes, which do you prefer?"

’Greens or radishes? I guess I’ll pick the greens.’

"See? You do have a preference. You’re not ’fine with anything’ at all. Next time, just say you want the greens directly."

"Mm, got it. But isn’t that only three dishes? What’s the last one?" Mo Si also looked into the fridge.

He watched as Jiang Qiuqiu took out two bamboo shoots from a large container on the bottom shelf. "Stir-fried bamboo shoots."

Then, the Little Panda quickly spotted the crucial point.

"Why are there so many bamboo shoots in the fridge?" As soon as the words left his mouth, memories that had been hidden in the details suddenly flooded back—

[Let’s analyze why there are so many bamboo shoots? Who are they for?]

[A regular guest in our stream—bamboo shoots!]

[A permanent fixture in the food showcase—bamboo shoots!]

These bits of information, insignificant on their own but incredibly touching when pieced together, echoed in his mind. Mo Si asked, "Did... did Qiuqiu prepare all these specially for me?"

’Look at him, asking so confidently.’

’Specially for him—’

How could Jiang Qiuqiu admit that? Even though... maybe... it was possible that she had been interested in Mo Si first, but still!

She picked up her knife and skillfully sliced away the tough outer layers of a bamboo shoot, one by one. She didn’t answer the question directly, only saying, "Well, what can I say? Pandas just love bamboo shoots."

Mo Si: !

He suddenly wrapped his arm around Qiuqiu’s waist.

You can’t just go around grabbing a woman’s waist! He was so tall that when he hugged her like this, Jiang Qiuqiu felt like she was practically sinking into his embrace. "What are you doing? I’m still holding a knife, don’t move around."

"Qiuqiu, do you want to kiss?"

"..."

"Is kissing all you think about? I don’t want to!" she refused, her face flushed red.

Mo Si hummed in acknowledgment. "But I want to."

"Can I kiss you?"

Jiang Qiuqiu clenched her fist.

It seemed all men were self-taught in this, instinctively knowing their beloved’s heart in that moment. This was the first time Mo Si had initiated a kiss with Qiuqiu.

Standing behind her, he carefully bent down and pressed his lips to her cheek.

Even the skin of his lips had a hot, tingling feeling. Pressed against her cheek, their presence was overwhelming.

It was the kind of feeling that made you feel so pathetic. It was just a simple press of the lips, yet it subconsciously made her feel weak, her heart racing.

Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but get a little distracted, a part of her mind wondering, ’Is this what it feels like to be in love?’

’Is this what it feels like to date a ’little milk wolf’?’

’It’s amazing.’

’It was thrilling, joyful, and made it impossible to stop smiling. Her heart was full of delight.’

’And he’s so innocent, just pressing his lips there for a moment.’

However, just as Jiang Qiuqiu had that thought, Mo Si, still holding her, started planting smacking kisses on her cheek.

This man clearly had no technique. He didn’t know this from that, only how to keep kissing based on sheer instinct. A simple kiss on the cheek was somehow twisted and turned by him into something shockingly sensual.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s cheek started to hurt a little, and her eyes felt like they were about to glaze over.

She pried Mo Si’s hands off her, feeling both helpless and speechless. "You... what were you just doing?"

"Kissing."

"..."

Truly, how the tables had turned overnight. Jiang Qiuqiu covered her slightly aching cheek and scolded him, "Black Hole, you blockhead."

Then, blushing, she went back to her cooking. "Don’t come over here again. If you keep this up, we’ll never get to eat. Go cut the Bibi Beast meat for me."

’Okay, she’s a little fierce.’

Mo Si suddenly felt a little upset.

Not because she was being fierce, but because he didn’t like the name she used.

It was Black Hole.

Not Mo Si.

"What are you doing, Black Hole? Hurry up and chop the vegetables! I’m about to start stir-frying!"

’I wish Qiuqiu would call me Mo Si.’
