Chapter 352: Chapter 248: Overnight in the Same Room

The craziest fantasy is...

Being loved.

This answer lingered in Su Mo’s ears, making him a bit dumbfounded, unable to understand its meaning.

"Xiaoqi..."

Before Su Mo could ask, Qi Ling sat up: "Let’s go, it’s getting late, we should return to New Moon City."

Su Mo held her back: "Don’t put on your shoes yet, it’s only been a few minutes, the medication won’t work that fast."

He squatted in front of Qi Ling and humped his back, "Get on, I’ll carry you."

Qi Ling didn’t climb on but instead flashed a playful smile: "Stand up first~"

Su Mo: "Why?"

Qi Ling: "Just stand up."

Su Mo stood up.

Qi Ling: "Turn around, face me."

Su Mo turned around.

Qi Ling reached out her arms to hook around Su Mo’s neck, hanging on and cheerfully saying, "Carry me~"

Su Mo helplessly laughed: "Carrying and piggybacking are the same, aren’t they?"

Qi Ling pouted and started to act coy: "Hug me~"

"Alright, alright, I’ll carry you, I just can’t say no to you." Su Mo supported Qi Ling’s waist and the crook of her legs, lifting her up.

Qi Ling rested her head on Su Mo’s shoulder, raising a little fist to the air: "Let’s go! Homeward bound!"

...

The two returned to New Moon City on a private jet, arriving after eight o’clock.

The transcription factor protein spray worked wonders, and by the end of the flight, the stone-cut wounds on Qi Ling’s soles were completely healed.

She put on her shoes again and went shopping with Su Mo in the Lakefront Business District.

They wandered until after ten at night before ending the day’s journey.

This time, Su Mo was experienced. Instead of putting Qi Ling in a taxi and sending her off, he personally drove into Anmi New District and dropped her off at her door.

Upon arrival, Su Mo got out and looked at the magnificent villa ahead, sighing, "Your house is really beautiful."

Qi Ling lazily said, "But it still can’t compare to your Edge Mansion, Grand Captain Su."

Su Mo stretched languidly: "Phew — today was exhausting, you go inside and rest well. I need to get some rest too."

With that, he prepared to get into the car.

"Wait a minute!" Qi Ling called out to Su Mo, "Where are you going?"

Su Mo: "I’m heading back to Edge Mansion."

Qi Ling looked at him pitifully: "You’re already here, wouldn’t it be far to head back again? Stay over at my place for the night."

Su Mo was immediately taken aback: "Stay... overnight? No, no, that’s inappropriate."

Qi Ling came up and tugged on Su Mo’s sleeve, starting to act coy again: "What’s inappropriate? We agreed it would be 24 hours, so we’re a couple until we wake up tomorrow morning, right?"

Su Mo awkwardly said: "But even as a couple, it’s not right to spend the night together on the first day... Come on, stop it, you should go rest."

Qi Ling: "Don’t go, Mo Mo, I’m scared to be alone at home... Mo Mo!"

Su Mo couldn’t resist her charm, pretended not to hear, and prepared to start the car.

"Su Mo!" Suddenly, Qi Ling’s cold voice came from behind him.

Su Mo turned back and was almost scared out of his wits, heart nearly stopping.

Qi Ling somehow had a gun against her chin, her amber eyes filled with chilling ruthlessness.

"If you leave me, I’ll die in front of you."

Su Mo was so frightened that he started sweating: "What the hell! What’s wrong with you? Hey, hey, hey, where did you get that gun? Put it down!"

Qi Ling held the gun against her chin with one hand, while the other pulled out a phone, typing on the keypad while muttering:

"Ah, my life is just a failure. No one loves me, no one cares, not even a new boyfriend wants to stay the night with me. I’m so annoying, maybe I should just die, is that alright?"

"I want to leave a suicide note on my Bright Encounter homepage, saying Captain Edge Su Mo found me detestable and repulsive, leaving me despondent and feeling life has no meaning. Ah~ Born to be a human, I’m very sorry, see you all in the next life."

As Qi Ling muttered while typing, Su Mo spotted her distracted moment, activated bullet time, and rushed over like lightning to grab her hand holding the gun.

Su Mo was too fast and too rushed, his movements inevitably rough, and he pushed Qi Ling against the wall with a "boom".

He nervously snatched the gun, ready to speak, only to freeze in place.

This gun... feels so light?

He ejected the magazine, seeing the soft bag bullets inside, and immediately went pale: "A toy gun?!"

Qi Ling stuck out her tongue, flashing a mischievous cat-like smile: "Scared you?"

"What do you think?!" Su Mo was out of temper, "Where did this toy gun come from?"

Qi Ling grinned playfully: "Secretly bought it while we were shopping, doesn’t it look real?"

Su Mo huffed irritably: "You planned to trick me all along when we were shopping, didn’t you?"

Qi Ling lowered her head, her voice slightly melancholic: "I wasn’t trying to trick you, I was serious. I want you to stay with me."

Su Mo let out a lazyfish sigh: "I really give up... Fine, let’s make it clear first, I’ll chat and watch a movie with you, but I’ll sleep in the guest room."

Qi Ling happily looped her arm around Su Mo’s: "No problem~ My house has plenty of rooms."

Opening the door and entering the villa, Qi Ling turned on the light, revealing a spacious interior.

From various details of the arrangement, it was evident that Qi Ling loved cleanliness, with furniture neatly placed, floors frequently swept clean, and a faint scent of osmanthus aroma lingering in the air.

Qi Ling changed into slippers and handed a new pair to Su Mo as well: "Here, for you."

Su Mo put on the slippers and walked into the living room with her.

Just then, there was a noise coming from the stairs, followed by barking, and a black Labrador dashed down from upstairs, eagerly welcoming its owner home.

"Pipi!" Qi Ling hugged the Labrador, starting a furious ruffling.

Su Mo also went up to pet it a couple of times: "So cute, is Pipi its name?"

"Yes, it’s three years old and very well-behaved." Qi Ling rubbed the dog’s head, gesturing upstairs, "Okay, back to your bed now."

"Woof!" Pipi barked once and obediently ran upstairs.

For the next while, Qi Ling showed Su Mo around her villa.

Su Mo walked into the walk-in closet on the second floor, and the scene made him exclaim: "Wow, so many clothes."

This closet covered over a hundred square meters, with dozens of transparent display cases on all sides.

Each display case housed a mannequin styled in various outfits, creating a dazzling sight.

Su Mo walked past the display cases, eyeing the mannequins: "Their figures look quite similar to yours?"

Qi Ling nodded: "Not similar, exactly the same. They are custom-made based on my measurements. Whatever effect the clothes have on the mannequins, they’ll have on me too, which gives a clearer view."

Su Mo then remembered Qi Ling had said she enjoyed modeling and taking photos.

He laughed: "You really love the modeling career."

Qi Ling: "Because it’s my wish. I want to be a model, wear cute clothes, and leave my most beautiful self in the world."

She walked behind Su Mo, gently wrapped her arms around his waist, then rested her cheek against his back, softly murmuring: "Having a mature and reliable boyfriend like you is also my wish."
