Chapter 209
Seeing Huo Qi's aggrieved look, Mu Jiao couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly ran over, hugged the man's arm with both hands, shook it in a coquettish manner, and explained:
"Hehe! Brother Qi, I came to greet you as soon as I had the chance. It's hard to find a chance in the daytime with so many people watching. Brother Qi, I'm sure you can understand my difficulties, right?"
Mu Jiao blinked mischievously, looked up at the man's eyes as he lowered his head slightly, and observed the man's expression at the moment.
I'm really a little angry~
"Yeah, I understand." Huo Qi's expression didn't change.
"Then..." Huo Qi's answer was straightforward, indicating that he understood her "difficulties". Mu Jiao was very surprised.
I didn’t expect that Brother Qi would be so easy to coax this time. It was much easier than five years ago when he was “bullied” by Mengmeng.
So, she planned to press on with her victory and make him completely forget his unhappiness today.
However, Mu Jiao's cultivation was still too shallow. Huo Qi had finally caught a good opportunity, so how could he let it go so easily? Mu Jiao had just started her next sentence, but before she could continue, she heard,
"Jiaojiao, we haven't seen each other much in the past few years. I came to the Imperial United University this time to serve as the chief instructor, and I came here specifically to see you. There are still more than forty days until the end of military training. Do we have to pretend not to know each other for the next forty days?"
Huo Qi looked into Mu Jiao's eyes, and at this moment their eyes met for a moment.
“!!! This… this, I…”
Mu Jiao really didn't expect that it was not a coincidence that Brother Qi came to the Imperial United University to serve as the chief instructor, but that he came here specifically to see her.
This really surprised her!
In fact, in the years since Huo Qi left Chengtong Star, she had long since gotten over her initial discomfort and had thought things through clearly.
Originally, if she hadn't accidentally saved Brother Qi, they would be people from two different worlds, one was a noble prince of the empire, the other was an orphan from the bottom of society, and there would be no possibility of them having any intersection.
Although she saved Brother Qi, when she counted carefully, she found that he had repaid her for saving her life long ago when they were in the swamp. Moreover, he had taken her in over the years. When she counted carefully, Brother Qi actually gave her more.
Therefore, Mu Jiao now feels more grateful and respectful towards Huo Qi, and regards him as a brother, friend, and senior.
This kind of distanced relationship is actually the best, as it won't make her overly dependent.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. She will not rely on Brother Qi for support all her life. Sooner or later, she will leave Chengtong Star and work hard to create a future for herself.
Mu Jiao understood all of this very clearly. Therefore, she had spent the past few years studying, practicing, and researching...all in order to better survive in this world in the future.
However, today, the man stared at her with eyes that were so profound that it was hard to fathom, and Mu Jiao couldn't help but panic.
Mu Jiao subconsciously let go of the arm that was holding Huo Qi's arm, avoided the man's gaze, lowered her head, stammered, and really didn't know what to say.
Mu Jiao lowered her head and looked at the ground, but she didn't know that the man standing next to her slowly tightened his hands hanging by his side after she let go of his arm and avoided his eyes, and his eyes were stained with a subtle gloom and madness.
Ze Ba, who was standing far away, was terrified, but the person in charge didn't notice anything at all.
After a while, Huo Qi closed his eyes, regained his gentle demeanor, and asked in a somewhat sad and cautious tone: "
"Jiaojiao has been alone on Chengtong Star for the past five years. I rarely have time to go back and accompany you. Is Jiaojiao angry with me for a long time?"
