"Sometimes, relationships arenât just built on practical needs." To be honest, Mo Chengyu didnât fully grasp it herself, but she definitely understood it better than Mo Si!
She drew upon some viewpoints from the Star Network forums. "More often than not, thereâs also an emotional and spiritual connection between people."
"An emotional and spiritual connection?"
"It means youâre just happy to see them. Theyâre your friends, your family... theyâre people who will lend a hand no matter what difficulties you face in the future."
He didnât seem to fully grasp it.
The next day, having gone to bed early, Jiang Qiuqiu woke up bright and early.
With so many people still next door, she thought for a moment. Looking at the flour and meat she had at home, she made some steamed buns, heated some milk, and called Mo Si and the others over for breakfast.
What a perfect way to start the dayâwith breakfast from Juju!
Sipping sweet milk while biting into a big, meaty bun was incredibly comforting.
"Did you get a good rest?"
"Yep," Jiang Qiuqiu said with a grin. "Iâm bursting with energy."
"It feels like after depleting my spiritual power and getting a good rest, I wake up with even more energy than usual."
Pushing your limits in training was indeed the fastest way to increase your spiritual power.
But not everyone could withstand the feeling of being completely drained day after day.
They chatted a bit more about spiritual power. Before they finished eating, Jiang Qiuqiu asked Mo Si and Mo Chengyu how many people were in their families.
"Why the sudden question?"
"Oh, well, New Yearâs Eve is coming up," Jiang Qiuqiu said. "Iâm planning a New Yearâs Eve dinner at my virtual restaurant, and Iâd like to invite you all to come."
"Oh, right! Is this about that eighteen-dish meal you mentioned on your stream?"
"Thatâs the one."
"Eighteen dishes?!" Mo Si frowned. "Why make so many? Will you have enough time if youâre streaming in the evening?"
"Itâll probably take the whole day to cook, so I wonât be starting in the evening."
"Anyway, just tell me, how many people are in your families?"
"There are four in my family, and three in his."
Jiang Qiuqiu sent each of them a short message with an ID from her terminal.
Then she turned to Zuo Kai. Zuo Kai asked, "Do I get one too?"
"Of course! Everyone whoâs here gets a share. Mr. Zuo, how many people are in your family?"
"Two of us."
She sent an ID to Zuo Kai as well.
She still had a lot to do that day. After breakfast, Jiang Qiuqiu made a trip to the rescue center and gave every staff member a spot for her New Yearâs Eve dinner.
One person wanted to invite his wife and timidly asked Jiang Qiuqiu for an extra spot.
When she returned from the rescue center, Little Qing pestered her for a while, asking about Brother Leopardâs condition.
It was a difficult question to answer, but Qiuqiu decided to stick with the white lie.
Little Qing was very childlike. Upon hearing that Brother Leopard was doing well, they practically spun in circles inside the rescue center. "I knew it!"
"The Military Department will figure something out!"
...
After returning from the rescue center, she gave out spots to everyone else in her circle who needed one. Then she bundled the remaining slots and sent them to Wanxing to handle.
Things were a bit complicated and busy, so she didnât start lunch until after 1:00 PM.
It wasnât until after 2:00 PM that she finished all her tasks. The livestream was scheduled for 8:00, and the ingredients had already been sorted that morning. With six hours to spare, Jiang Qiuqiu decided to head to Mrs. Aiâerâs for two hours of gravity training.
Mo Si followed her, using the excuse, "Iâve never seen you do gravity training, and Iâd like to see how you do it."
Mo Chengyuâs motto was to never be a third wheel before a relationship was official. Claiming she had something to do, she went back to her "little castle" by herself.
