Chapter 188
…
After the video was connected, Mu Jiao was still a little confused until she saw a man wearing a dark blue camouflage uniform on the virtual screen, and then she woke up completely.
"Hey, Brother Qi, aren't you busy today?" Mu Jiao was a little surprised when she received the call from Huo Qi, but she was more delighted.
Brother Qi has been very busy in recent years. Not only does he rarely return to Chengtong Star, he also rarely calls her.
Mu Jiao was arranged by Huo Qi to live in Chengtongxing Manor for more than five years. This huge manor has a beautiful environment and every corner is carefully cared for by servants.
During the years she lived in the manor, Mu Jiao was well taken care of. Everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation was taken care of with great care. The luxury of this life was something she could never have imagined in the past, or even in the past twenty years of her previous life.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. When she first arrived on Chengtong Star, she was busy researching gene collapse syndrome, and because of Huo Qi's company, she gradually adapted to this luxurious life.
But in the past two or three years, after the experiment was on track, Mu Jiao realized that Huo Qi seemed to be distancing himself from her intentionally or unintentionally.
She wasn't entirely sure about this yet. Perhaps Brother Qi was simply too busy, and she was overthinking things...
But one thing was true: due to their frequent absences, they had become quite unfamiliar with each other. At least, that was how Mu Jiao saw it. Although Brother Qi was still very kind to her, always caring about her life and studies whenever they met, and bringing her many novel gifts...
"Well, I'm not busy today, and I probably won't be too busy in the future."
Looking at the girl's clear almond-shaped eyes in the video, which were filled with a hint of surprise and joy, as well as a hint of cautious unfamiliarity...For the first time in his life, Huo Qi knew what regret felt like. Not only had he missed the opportunity to accompany her growth over the years, but he had also made her feel unfamiliar with him...
"That's great! Brother Qi, you've been too busy in the past few years. It's time to take a good rest." After hearing Huo Qi's words, Mu Jiao paused slightly before replying with a congratulatory tone.
Huo Qi listened to the girl's cautious congratulations and felt a sense of loss in her heart, as if she had returned to the beginning of their acquaintance and had become the timid and sensitive girl again.
However, Huo Qi is an excellent "psychologist". He has enough time and patience to make Mu Jiao's unfamiliarity with him disappear completely.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao. Today is your first day of reporting to the university. How do you feel?" Huo Qi did not continue with the previous topic. He naturally asked her about her university reporting today in a gentle voice.
"Everything went smoothly. I'm already in the dormitory. Brother Qi, you know what? The Imperial United University is so beautiful, a thousand times more beautiful than in the pictures. Tomorrow morning, my senior will take us to explore the various parts of the school, and then I can have a good tour of the school..."
When asked by Huo Qi, Mu Jiao's excitement about arriving at a new school in a new environment resurfaced, and she happily told Huo Qi about today's report.
He started by reporting on the large crowds, talking about how beautiful the school is, and then talked about the new friends he met today.
Looking at the little guy in the video who was sharing his experiences with him with great joy, Huo Qi's expression softened and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Ahem, Brother Qi, I don't want to say too much..." Mu Jiao talked incessantly about her experiences of the day, and Huo Qi did not interrupt her. It was not until she was about to finish that she realized that she seemed to be a little too excited, especially when she saw the smile on the man's face. Mu Jiao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Not much. I haven't been with Jiaojiao these past few years. It seems like in the blink of an eye, Jiaojiao has already gone to college~"
