Chapter 520: Chapter 539: My Whole Family Is Teaching Me How to Date

It had been a strange, wonderful day.

It was late. As much as he wanted to stay with Qiuqiu, it was truly, truly late.

He had to go home.

Even though they were together now, but...

Staying the night seemed like a bigger step. Plus, Jiang Qiuqiu had done spiritual power training that afternoon, persisting for a long time as she challenged the A+ level. She was already exhausted.

He got home, and just as he finished his shower, his terminal rang.

Mo Si glanced at it. It was a call from his family. He answered.

It was past ten, but everyone at the Mo Family residence was somehow still awake. Seven people were crammed into one small video window.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Father, Mo Xin, Chengyu, it’s so late. Aren’t you all going to sleep?"

"How could we possibly sleep?" Grandma Mo waved her hand, her graying hair trembling slightly. "We can’t sleep until we get a ’Happy New Year’ from our Little Mo General."

"..."

Oh, right. Mo Si finally remembered. The day had gone by so fast that he’d forgotten all about it.

For once, Admiral Mo felt a little guilty. "I forgot to wish everyone a Happy New Year."

"It’s fine, it’s fine. We know you’re busy." Grandma Mo was very understanding. "Oh, right. When are you planning to come home for a visit?"

’Home is always there. I can go back anytime.’

’But Qiuqiu will be starting school soon. We won’t be able to see each other and spend time together every day.’

"I’ll come home after the 16th."

"Oh, the 16th, huh." Chengyu had only said that the girl he was chasing was young. Very young.

The 16th...

The start of the school year?!

HISS.

’So their grandson is the type to lie low until he does something astonishing. He doesn’t look for a girlfriend, but when he finally does, he picks someone so... trendy. The girl is still a student!?’

Mo Si suddenly realized that after he said that, the expressions of the people on the other end of the call all turned strange.

’Is there something strange about going back on the 16th?’

So he added, "I’ve been a bit busy lately." At that moment, he still had no idea that Mo Chengyu had already given the family a vivid reenactment of how he had run out of the house on New Year’s Eve—not for ’urgent business,’ but for the ’private matter of chasing his future wife.’

"Oh, oh, oh, busy, busy, busy, we know you’re busy. So, how is your ’business’ going?"

"Made any headway?"

"Oh dear, I know it might be a little embarrassing for your grandma to ask, but I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t! So, how are things going with that ’busy’ girl of yours? Are you two together yet?"

"..."

"What girl? What are you all talking about?"

"Didn’t you rush off a few days ago to spend New Year’s with a certain young lady?"

His gaze, sharp as a knife, shot toward Mo Chengyu, who was standing in the corner of the video feed. Mo Chengyu took a step back, frantically waving his hands as if begging for forgiveness.

He didn’t say anything, instead just glaring at Mo Chengyu. That was all the confirmation they needed. The matter was settled.

Since it was true, they couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

With his grandmother’s eyes sparkling as she kept asking, Mo Si couldn’t keep silent forever. He relented, "There’s been some progress."

A collective "Woooow" immediately came from the other side of the video call. Even Mo Chengyu had a look of disbelief on his face.

His secret was out, and now his elders were grilling him about it. He should have been a little annoyed, but for some reason, hearing his family’s cheers and seeing the look in Mo Chengyu’s eyes, he suddenly felt the urge to show off a little.

’They have no idea. Not only has there been progress... Qiuqiu and I even kissed!’
