Chapter 604: Chapter 623: I Wish Time Would Stop for Us
Mo Si lavished Jiang Qiuqiu with an endless stream of sweet nothings.
Of course, in Mo Si’s own eyes, these were all words from the bottom of his heart. ’How can you call them sweet nothings!’
It was this very attitude—the type where you think he’s flirting, but he thinks he’s just stating objective facts—that was so utterly captivating.
She couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. ’My boyfriend is so incredibly smooth.’
Since they were on the topic of how wonderful his girlfriend was, it was inevitable that they’d touch upon the biggest potential problem that came with it.
Mo Si said, "I have to go to the front line in another half a month." ’This deployment will last at least six months. I wonder when winter will fully set in this year.’
"I’m really worried that other people will fall for you."
"Don’t worry," Jiang Qiuqiu said. "I’ll tell them straight up that I have a boyfriend."
"In fact, anyone who knows me knows I have a boyfriend."
It was true. She had never tried to hide their relationship, which gave Mo Si a profound sense of security.
"Why are you so insecure? You’re the Imperial Blade!" Jiang Qiuqiu cupped Mo Si’s face with both her hands.
Mo Si had wondered the same thing. ’Why am I?’
Perhaps it was from observing other people’s relationships.
The reasons were numerous and not easily elaborated, so he just said, "You know... take away my title as the Imperial Blade, and I’m really not a very likeable person."
With people he wasn’t familiar with, Mo Si was typically just cold.
And with those he was familiar with... like Mo Chengyu and Jiang Qiuqiu, he sometimes couldn’t hold his tongue.
Much of the time they were together, he felt he was just plain boring.
His words seemed to hint at some untold story from his past, but now was clearly not the time to press him for details. Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t bear to see Mo Si so gloomy.
She let out an exaggerated "Wow!", interrupting his train of thought. "I didn’t realize you thought so much."
"You really are strange," she said, voicing a rare, narcissistic-sounding thought. "You think I’m wonderful, don’t you?"
"Yes," he answered without a moment’s hesitation.
The moonlight flowed like water. It was the cusp of spring and summer, and the night air wasn’t too chilly.
A cool breeze lifted the hair at Jiang Qiuqiu’s temples. She said, "You think I’m wonderful. I like you. And yet, you think you’re awful."
"There’s no logical connection between those three statements, is there?"
"The wonderful me likes an equally wonderful you."
Jiang Qiuqiu buried her face in his chest. "In my eyes, you’re wonderful, too."
"And besides, being in a relationship with you makes me so happy."
How could such words not set one’s heart ablaze?
Mo Si felt as if his entire heart was set ablaze for Jiang Qiuqiu.
Though he was no longer a young man, this Little Panda, experiencing his first love, suddenly understood what it meant to have one’s heart burn with love.
Just as Jiang Qiuqiu was burying her face in Mo Si’s embrace, she suddenly felt the man she was leaning on pull back quite a bit. A hand then gently propped her up.
Just as she was starting to wonder, her gaze met Mo Si’s eyes.
She understood instantly.
It had to be said, his round, dark eyes were a potent tool for expressing his every need.
Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t consider herself particularly perceptive when it came to reading people, but ever since she’d been with Mo Si, she always seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes.
For instance, right now—
His gaze was glistening.
She closed her eyes.
When passion stirred, when his ardent feelings were met with a response, he found himself wanting more. And more.
So much that he felt he might burst.
(The following is prohibited content. Please use your imagination.)
SMOOCH! SMOOCH! SMOOCH!
Ah.
This night was so wonderful that Mo Si wished he could make time stand still.
To let this sweet time linger for him and Qiuqiu, just a little longer.
But alas—
Their separation still arrived, just as scheduled.
