Chapter 979 - 998: Happy New Year, Blessings for the Year 5357!

The livestream soon went black. The viewers didn’t have time to reply to Qiuqiu’s last words, but everyone was thinking the exact same thing.

That was—we will definitely be there. We won’t leave even if you try to drive us away.

After wrapping up the New Year’s Eve dinner "KPI", Qiuqiu had nothing else going on in December. She could spend the entire day with Mo Si on the 29th!

Staying at home all the time had gotten a little boring, so Qiuqiu and Mo Si headed to the city center together. Mo Si put on the virtual mask he hadn’t worn in a long time. The two went to the movie theater and watched a major New Year’s Eve romantic blockbuster. Honestly speaking, the movie wasn’t very good. Of course, Qiuqiu and Mo Si quickly embraced the "do what you want when you want to" mindset.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the two ate a dinner out that wasn’t particularly delicious but was somewhat novel. Then, they went to the mall and bought a bunch of fireworks. They decided not to go out at all on the 30th; they would just hole up at home for the day and ring in the New Year directly.

On the 30th, after fooling around at home and doing absolutely nothing in their pajamas all day, Mo Si and Qiuqiu made a discovery—staying at home was so much fun! It was a joy that simply couldn’t be described with words.

Then, on the evening of the 30th, heavy snow fell on the Federation Star again, mixed with a lot of hail. Although the hail wasn’t huge, setting off fireworks was obviously impossible. Mo Si even received a work call and almost had to go out for disaster relief. Fortunately, after Federal Star City activated its urban warm air system, the situation was brought under control and resolved.

Physical fireworks would just have to wait for better weather. Then—what about the fireworks of the heart?

After all, they were passionate, hot-blooded youths. Wandering around the living room, each wearing the other’s favorite pajamas... that was nothing short of spontaneous fireworks going BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

He had become increasingly skilled and knew exactly how to use his techniques. What was more, he would even cheekily ask, "Do you think being with me is more fun, or setting off fireworks?"

Did such a question even need to be asked? Qiuqiu didn’t believe Mo Si didn’t know the answer in her heart, but he just had to ask.

So, Qiuqiu gave him the opposite answer. Sweating profusely, she brushed back the damp hair clinging to her cheek. Her dark eyes were strikingly bright under the dim yellow light, as if hiding a galaxy within them. "Maybe because it’s been a while, I think setting off fireworks is more fun."

"..."

As soon as Mo Si woke up, he felt a kick to his backside. The force wasn’t light; it was obvious that the owner of the foot was a little angry. Thinking about it, she felt another flare of irritation and kicked him again.

No matter who it was, they always needed to be coaxed when they were throwing a temper. After Qiuqiu "angrily" kicked him twice without getting a reaction, she rolled over and pressed down on his shoulder. "Are you still not awake?"

How could he not be awake? As highly sensitive Mecha Soldiers, when they wanted to be "attentive", they would notice even if the person beside them just tossed in their sleep.

It was just that—he slowly turned around, his expression somewhat innocent.

"..."

Speechless, Qiuqiu raised her hand. "You, you, you—"

"Don’t kick me next time." The force hadn’t been much, so it couldn’t even be considered a punishment.
