“Really?” Jiang Qiuqiu beat the egg mixture, quickly adding some flour, “What he said to you is completely different from what you said to me.”

“Completely—different?” Mo Chengyu’s tone was exaggerated, “How different?”

“You previously said he was silent and sometimes didn’t like talking to people. I think he actually talks quite a bit.”

“I was wrong. He talks a lot.” Mo Chengyu sighed, “When he starts talking to someone, especially when he’s reprimanding them, he can go on and on. It’s not pleasant to listen to.”

Mo Chengyu’s tone was full of resentment towards Mo Si.

But Jiang Qiuqiu was puzzled, “Not pleasant to listen to?”

“Yes!”

“Terrible!”

Hmm…

The batter was almost ready. Jiang Qiuqiu sprinkled some sugar into it, “No way, I find his speech quite pleasant actually.”

“Pleasant!?”

“Yeah, although occasionally he says some blunt things, overall, it’s quite endearing.” Jiang Qiuqiu assessed Mo Si from her perspective, “Sometimes, I feel like there’s a kind of gentleness about him.”

“Gentle!?”

No way, what did big brother say exactly?

Mo Chengyu felt she shouldn’t have left today. Even if she did leave, she should have left a camera in the hall!

Why did she miss such a magical scene, a gentle and pleasant-speaking Mo Si?

…She only saw it at the grand victory celebration!

“What did he say to you? I’ve known him for so many years, and he’s never said anything nice to me!” Mo Chengyu was full of discontent.

It wasn’t anything unspeakable. Jiang Qiuqiu summarized Mo Si’s brief remarks from this afternoon, describing his attitude.

Mo Chengyu: …

Yuck.

Disgusting!

Ah, why can’t he speak, why the tough guy acts, why the lack of social skills, it’s all fake!

“Sis Cheng, you don’t have to be angry, his attitude towards you is different, probably because you’re more familiar. I saw how you guys talked at lunch today, you’ve known each other for many years, right?”

“Not at all! If this is the attitude after knowing each other for so long, I’d rather just be strangers all along!”

Mo Chengyu poured out her grievances to Jiang Qiuqiu, who listened earnestly while continuing her work.

Brushing the butter into the mold, pouring in the cake batter, and placing it in the oven.

The aroma of dessert quickly spread, and Mo Chengyu also caught a whiff of it. She turned her head to peek into the oven and happened to see the cake slightly cracked on the surface due to overheating, revealing its soft interior.

Jiang Qiuqiu worked quickly, scanning her hand-held sensor to input the items into the showcase, then packed a piece of cake into a special box.

“Sis Cheng, don’t be angry. If ‘Hei Dong’ talks back to you next time, you can talk back too.”

“Nobody’s giving in to anyone, it’s fair.”

“Okay!” Mo Chengyu took a big bite out of half the cake, “You’re right! I should have stood up long ago! He always oppresses me!”

After spending a while longer there, Jiang Qiuqiu noticed she was getting a bit tired. Mo Chengyu immediately said she was leaving, “Qiuqiu, your mental state seems a bit unstable. If you have time, you can come here for some mental training!”

“Okay, I’ll come over tomorrow morning. What would you like to eat?”

“Whatever you make, I’ll eat!” Mo Chengyu grinned, “I’m easy to please!! See you later, Qiuqiu!”

“Goodbye, Sis Cheng!”

Waving goodbye, the bouncing figure gradually disappeared.

Jiang Qiuqiu sighed and helped herself to a few pieces of sweet cake.

Humans are indeed social animals. They need friends to chat with and occasionally need to appreciate beautiful things.

Even if they’re not their own, they still feel relaxed and satisfied after watching.
