Chapter 592 - 611: Running Towards the Future
"Let him be in love. It’s about time the Admiral had a relationship."
"Let’s hurry up with the paperwork, or we’ll miss dinner again."
"Is Qiudao cooking again today?"
"Yeah."
"First, we’ll eat what Jiang Broadcaster made at the office, and then go home to eat what you’ve made. We’re really in for a treat today."
Qiudao didn’t say anything, just walked quietly toward the office.
Changbei followed closely behind him.
’Looks like another busy day.’
This was a modified hovercar, much faster than a standard model.
Mo Si switched on the autopilot. He knew he was too agitated to be driving fast.
’Qiuqiu.’
’Her military training was finally over.’
As his deployment date drew nearer, even Mo Si—who usually regarded going to war as casually as eating a meal—couldn’t help but feel restless. The impending separation was bad enough, but not being able to see her every day beforehand was torture.
His mind couldn’t help but churn with the details from the report he’d received from the garrison.
Her military training really wasn’t ’just training.’ She had said she wanted to spend three months learning to pilot a Mecha, and she’d given it her all every single day.
The longer they were together, the more captivating she became. Mo Si kept discovering more and more of her brilliant qualities.
’If only I had been there.’
’But that was impossible.’
Lost in his regret, Mo Si reached the coordinates. The hovercar slowly descended before a tall building. He glanced at it, put on his virtual mask, then dialed Qiuqiu’s terminal.
"You’re here? I see you!" Jiang Qiuqiu had already spotted Mo Si through the large glass window. "Just wait for me at the entrance. I’ll be right down."
Her energetic, joyful voice was infectious.
Mo Si hummed in reply, but he didn’t stay in the car. He opened the door and stood waiting at the entrance to the building.
"Is that your boyfriend?" Qian Xingxing asked.
"Yep. He came to pick me up!"
"You should go, then," Qian Xingxing said, tugging at his clothes. "Your broadcast is starting soon. I don’t want you to be late."
"My clothes are a mess, so I won’t see you out."
"Don’t worry about it. I can see myself out."
’It’s great that he’s pulling himself together.’ Jiang Qiuqiu waved. "Little President Qian, let’s stay in touch, okay? Let me know when you have an update."
"Don’t worry. It’ll be soon."
The words had barely left his lips before Jiang Qiuqiu was already running into the elevator.
The elevator descended. The office building, the very place where Qian Xingxing’s dream began, suddenly felt desolate. He took a deep breath. ’This is all just temporary.’
’I’ll get it back. I’ll get it all back.’
Soon, downstairs, the couple who hadn’t seen each other in so long were stuck to each other like glue. It was a bit far, so Qian Xingxing couldn’t see exactly what was happening, but the way the taller figure enveloped the smaller one was incredibly heartwarming.
A scene so sweet and dreamlike reminded him of Meimei.
’All the more reason to get my act together.’
’So what if they said I was no good, that I was naive! This naive guy is going to build his own naive empire!’
Having come to this resolution, Qian Xingxing grabbed his clothes and went downstairs. He got into a hovercar parked at the side of the building and set a new course for the heart of Federation City.
He was back.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qiuqiu had thrown herself at Mo Si.
Due to the continuous training and her recent diet of nothing but Nutrient Liquid, Jiang Qiuqiu had lost weight, her frame becoming leaner.
As Mo Si instinctively opened his arms to embrace her, he could feel how much weight she’d lost.
His heart ached for her.
"How did you get so thin?"
"Haha, you’re bound to lose weight during military training! Didn’t you see what we were doing when you came for inspection? It’d be weird *not* to lose weight with that kind of training." Jiang Qiuqiu spread her hands. "Besides, it’s just a little. You have such sharp eyes, Mo Sisi."
