“Because this afternoon you have to go for a mental energy check, it’s urgent, I can’t have you around.”

“Brother, you can’t do this!”

“I can.” Mo Si’s tone was serious, “I definitely can.”

“Brother, don’t do this, look at your poor sister, I’m really super—”

“You won’t be better tomorrow.”

“Brother! I—”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“How can you do this, you’re too dictatorial!”

“For these four days.”

Mo Chengyu: …

In the end, justice succumbed to tyranny and was defeated.

Mo Chengyu slinked away upstairs, with an aggrieved and pouting expression, looking like she was about to bite Mo Si.

As soon as she returned to her room, her expression changed, and she became all gossip.

Wow, why was big brother so anxious to drive her away! He must want to be alone! He must be afraid of her seeing him acting differently from usual!

Maybe there would be blushing and heartbeats at their first meeting? The middle-aged general holding onto a young deer, meeting her idol?

No, no, no, Mo Chengyu felt she might be thinking wrong. It might not be the first time he blushed and had a rapid heartbeat. Big brother had been following the live stream for so long, staying in his room after 8 p.m. every time.

He might already have blushed and had a rapid heartbeat under the covers.

Thinking like this, big brother’s majesty had completely disappeared.

Mo Si naturally didn’t know what weird things Mo Chengyu was fantasizing about. If he knew, he would immediately enforce the Mo family’s rules and give her a good beating.

In the afternoon.

Time flew by. After sending Mo Chengyu away in the morning, Mo Si breathed a sigh of relief. Because Mo Chengyu was someone who spoke without restraint.

He just wanted to meet Jiang Qiuqiu to understand what kind of person this skilled and talented girl with excellent culinary skills and exceptional mental healing abilities was like in real life.

To further understand the mystery surrounding her mental power spreading through the Star Network, uncover the reason for her dropping out of school, and—

To try to recruit her to become a soldier of the Federation.

Mo Chengyu always spoke in a strange tone, telling weird stories and gossiping, which was fine when talking to him. But saying these things to a young girl was crossing the line.

By temporarily sending her away and talking to her properly next time about Jiang Qiuqiu, ordering her to behave herself, there would be no more issues.

But! Mo Si realized belatedly that if Mo Chengyu went for the mental check-up, then Zuo Kai and the others would also have to go, and logically, there would only be him left in the small castle.

In other words, this afternoon… he would be alone with Jiang Qiuqiu.

While various thoughts were swirling in his mind, the doorbell rang.

“Someone’s here to visit~”

“Someone’s here to visit~”

—

The doorbell rang three times in a row. Mo Si, who had a habit of neither waiting nor retreating, got up and headed to the door with his long legs.

Today, to appear more approachable, Mo Si, under the recommendation of Ning Shen, wore light-colored clothes. Passing by the robot in the living room, he adjusted his expression in the mechanical reflection.

She was just a young girl, alone. He didn’t need to be too serious.

But even with this face, he still looked serious.

Nevertheless, Mo Si softened his demeanor slightly and opened the door to the small castle.

The imagined hair color, pupils, facial features, expression—none of them appeared.

As the door swung open, along with the light and fragrance, what greeted him was a very standardized—robotic face.

The smile Mo Si had prepared stiffened on his face.
