Chapter 634: Chapter 653: That Panda Pajama, and "You... How Are You Dressed Like This?
"I don’t think I can, sorry." Jiang Qiuqiu raised her hand. "I have to leave tomorrow morning."
"Why! Do you have to rush back?"
Jiang Qiuqiu hummed in agreement. "Because my boyfriend’s there."
Liu Tingting: ...
For a moment, she’d actually forgotten that Qiuqiu had a boyfriend.
Boyfriends seemed to be a very popular topic in the girls’ dorm.
"Qiuqiu, speaking of boyfriends, what does your boyfriend do?" Liu Tingting’s eyes widened, her round face filled with immense curiosity. "I’m just asking, I won’t spread it around!"
"Aww, c’mon! Your roommate is just curious!"
Meng Chun and Michelle looked over as well.
"He’s in the military."
"!"
"In the military?"
Liu Tingting let out a "Whoa!" "Which army is he in?!"
"The Sixth Army. They guard the border."
"Guarding the border... isn’t that over by Polar Star? Wait, aren’t the soldiers stationed at Polar Star deploying to the Pole at the end of the month? The Insect Race’s active period is about to start."
"Yeah." Jiang Qiuqiu tidied up the things on her desk. "That’s why I’m going back to see him this week. He’s deploying next week."
The dorm room fell silent for a moment.
A thousand things suddenly ran through their minds, but it was all a jumble, and no one knew what to say out loud.
In the end, it was Liu Tingting who said, "Well, I hope you two have fun tomorrow."
Jiang Qiuqiu thought about her plans. "We definitely will."
’Maybe I’ll have so much fun I’ll forget about coming back.’
-
The next morning, after having breakfast together, Jiang Qiuqiu took a hovercar to Starry Sky Wander.
It was around ten o’clock when she got home. She had her robot clean the house, glanced at the food in the stasis container, and after a moment’s thought, logged into the New Star app.
The live-streaming function wasn’t fully developed yet, but some basic features like leaving comments and streamers posting updates were available.
She directly posted a giveaway announcement on her new, verified streamer account.
She would draw one hundred lucky fans from the comments to receive a food delivery.
Speaking of food deliveries, Qian Xingxing had also spent money to sign a new contract with Interstellar Express for New Star’s deliveries.
This move set the fanbase on fire again, and the app’s daily active users surged. After finishing up with her food business matters, Jiang Qiuqiu checked the clock.
It was 11:00.
She asked him on her terminal if his meeting was over. No reply. No reply meant he was still in it.
She thought for a moment, went to the bedroom to take a shower, and then pulled a pair of panda pajamas from her closet—an outfit that had made an appearance once, a long, long time ago, but had been labeled by a certain someone as a kind of... ’intimate’ apparel.
Mo Si: "This is something a girlfriend wears for her boyfriend."
Mo Si: "Don’t just wear this in front of anyone."
’I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees it today.’
Jiang Qiuqiu blinked, her curiosity peaking at that moment.
At 11:30, Mo Si still hadn’t arrived. Jiang Qiuqiu put on an apron and started cooking in the kitchen.
Today was for sending off her adorable boyfriend, so Jiang Qiuqiu prepared his favorite bamboo shoot set meal, along with some fried foods and several tasty drinks.
She had originally wanted to include alcohol, but Mo Si had mentioned before that he had to go back before dark.
Tomorrow, as an Admiral, he had to attend a press conference, so drinking at this point in time wasn’t appropriate.
’Milk it is, then.’
’Pandas are supposed to love their milk, right?’
At 11:50, Mo Si replied that he was on his way.
At 1:15, after a long wait, the doorbell finally rang.
Jiang Qiuqiu sat up from the sofa, grabbed the panda tail that had been squashed crooked, and walked straight to the door.
She opened the door.
Outside the door stood a travel-worn and slightly weary Mo Si.
He looked up, then subconsciously glanced behind him before quickly stepping into the room and shutting the door.
His voice was a little hoarse.
"You... why are you dressed like that?"
