Lu Mo laughed, "It's an acquaintance. Li Wuming is quite good at fortune telling; he's always right."

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Could it be Teacher Mao?"

Lu Mo nodded with a smile. He had only discovered Fang Yanming and Mao Fangfei strolling on the street by chance, their behavior intimate and their relationship seemingly unusual. Only then did he realize that Fang Yanming had quietly started dating someone.

"Fang is so disloyal. He got together with Teacher Mao without telling us. My dad was so worried about introducing him to other girls every day."

Ye Qingqing pouted and said deliberately, "When they get married, I'll definitely make a ruckus in their new home, hmph."

Lu Mo gently flicked her nose. "Silly girl, the bigger the fuss you make now, the bigger the fuss will be later. You'll be the one who suffers."

After saying that, Lu Mo's face flushed, and he felt a little shy.

Ye Qingqing suddenly realized, "Oh right, how come I didn't think of that? We can't make a fuss, brother, you're so thoughtful, hehe..."

She moved closer to Lu Mo and could smell his pleasant scent. Lu Mo stepped back and said helplessly, "Why are you talking so close?"

"I like you, brother... I've already kept track of everything. The gifts I'm giving out now are like spreading my investments. When we get married, we can get them all back with interest."

Ye Qingqing moved closer and started talking about her grand plans for the future. She said that prices would definitely rise in two years, so the amount of money given as gifts would also have to increase!

Lu Mo chuckled to himself. What a little money-grubber! But seeing the girl's dreams for the future filled him with a tender warmth, as if he possessed the whole world.

Knowing that Ye Qingqing was greedy for money, he worked hard to earn money so that he could realize this girl's wonderful dream of counting money until her hands cramped.

This is also the source of his motivation to work hard.

The two snuggled together, whispering sweet nothings. It was late at night, the perfect time for romance. Ye Qingqing inwardly grumbled, annoyed, because of the censorship crackdown; she and Lu Mo hadn't been intimate in ages. How awful! (Author's note: Please stop complaining about the lack of intimacy between the leads.)

The moon is beautiful tonight, and the atmosphere is quite ambiguous; we should be able to have some fun being ambiguous.

However—

"I haven't been home for over half a year, and when I came back, it was an eyesore. If we got intimate, we'd end up in bed together, tsk tsk tsk..."

A familiar scream came from outside the window. Ye Qingqing, who was about to get intimate with Lu Mo, was first stunned, then overjoyed, and hugged Pipi, the heartless myna bird, who flew in.

“You said you’d be back in three months at most, but now more than half a year has passed. You’re still willing to come back? Tell me, have you found someone new on the mountain?”

Ye Qingqing kept nagging, her smile as bright as a flower; she missed her terribly.

Pipi rolled its eyes, broke free from Ye Qingqing's grasp, flew to the windowsill, and shook its paws like a lord, "Get me something to eat first, you have no sense at all."

This time it went quite far, traveling abroad. Although communication was a bit difficult, it didn't stop it from flirting with foreign birds. In fact, the foreign birds were quite outgoing and didn't need it to flirt much; they would just pounce on them on their own, which pleased it greatly!

Ye Qingqing took out a plate of braised pork from her spatial storage, which was Pipi's favorite dish.

"I've missed it so much! This is exactly the taste! Damn it, those foreigners can't even cook a proper meal. I'm starving..."

Pipi wolfed down its food, cursing after every bite. Everything was great abroad, except for the food, which it was very dissatisfied with; there wasn't a single thing it liked to eat.
