Chapter 2237: At the Age for Falling in Love

Jiang Mobai knew Qingkong's personality all too well.

He would never give Qingkong the chance to gossip!

However...

He looked at Qingkong's camera, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Do you know how to take photos so that people look fresh, pure, and artistic?"

"Of course I do. Use filters, adjust the parameters."

"Specifically?"

Jiang Mobai hoped Qingkong would elaborate.

But Qingkong just looked at Jiang Mobai with a smile and saw through his intentions: "Are you trying to photograph Su Kexuan?"

Having his little secret exposed, Jiang Mobai felt a bit awkward: "So what, is that not allowed?"

"It's allowed, but Su Kexuan doesn't have that kind of temperament. If you take photos of her like that, it will only look incongruous."

"Nonsense! Your thinking is too rigid; Kexuan can be artistic too. Back when we were in school, she wore a white dress, lively and pure, leaving people unable to forget her..."

Jiang Mobai truly could not forget her.

Recalling that heart-stirring scene, a different kind of light shone in his eyes.

"Hey, wipe away your drool."

A voice that ruined the mood broke Jiang Mobai's reverie.

He touched the corner of his mouth, only to realize he had been teased.

Jiang Mobai glared angrily at Qingkong.

Qingkong didn't mind and continued the previous topic: "What you're talking about is the past. The current Su Kexuan has shed that youthful air. To say nothing else, just one light glance from her is enough to make us feel guilty."

Hearing this, Jiang Mobai looked toward Su Kexuan's direction involuntarily.

And with that look...

He discovered that Su Kexuan was indeed staring at them!

In an instant, Jiang Mobai felt guilty.

Qingkong also stood up straight uncomfortably, revealing an awkward yet friendly smile.

But as he smiled, he realized that Su Kexuan was not

looking at them.

Instead...

She was looking past the two of them, at what was behind them.

Li Moning's face was flushed red.

Because she had been jogging, her breathing was rapid.

Once she ran to Su Kexuan's side, she felt relieved: "Thank goodness, I wasn't late!"

"What, was there a traffic jam on the way?"

"Yeah, I almost didn't make it."

Li Moning raised her arm, about to wipe her sweat.

But thinking of someone behind her...

She took out a tissue very gracefully and wiped her forehead.

Afterward, she looked back at the two people walking over behind her and smiled slightly.

Qingkong returned a faint smile and said, "Long time no see."

It had been quite a while.

Li Moning had sent him messages a while back, but he hadn't replied.

It had made the little girl overthink for a long time.

Fortunately, the things she had worried about hadn't happened.

Meeting again, Qingkong didn't treat her like a stranger.

However, Jiang Mobai looked at his overly quiet younger sister and couldn't help but say: "What's wrong with your teeth?"

"Teeth? Nothing's wrong."

"Then why are you smiling without showing your teeth? That's not your style."

Li Moning suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Then she explained with a straight face: "My style is very diverse, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"I don't understand? I've watched you grow up since you were little, alright!"

After saying that, he sighed to Qingkong: "Little girls are just like this, liking this today and that tomorrow."

Li Moning grew anxious.

She quickly corrected him: "I am very devoted too!"

"Uh-huh, you are very devoted to romance novels."

This guy...

Li Moning clenched her small fists.

She really wanted to punch him!

Qingkong, however, became curious and asked: "Romance novels? Then do you like reading Jane Eyre, La Dame aux Camélias, or Wuthering Heights?"

Jiang

Mobai heard this and wanted to deny it on Li Moning's behalf.

These books were not Li Moning's cup of tea at all.

She liked reading CEO romance novels.

The mindless, feel-good kind.

But after thinking about it...

He seemed to have seen these books on Li Moning's bookshelf before.

In reality, Li Moning had actually read them.

At this moment, she was chatting animatedly with Qingkong.

Jiang Mobai listened for a while, then walked to Su Kexuan's side and muttered, "Why does it feel like Momo has been possessed?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Momo has just grown up."

Grown up, huh...

Jiang Mobai looked at the shyly smiling Li Moning and nodded slowly: "She has grown up; it seems she's reached the age where she should be dating."

After saying this, he looked at Qingkong again.

Hmm...

Why is there a...

Feeling that something isn't quite right?

Jiang Mobai felt his mind was a bit chaotic.

Out of the corner of his eye, however, he noticed someone waving at him.

It was a few teammates from the racing team.

The one in the lead was Wang Zi.

The group had already changed into their racing suits.

Because they couldn't wait, they had run over to see Jiang Mobai before the race.

Su Kexuan also saw Wang Zi and the others.

Seeing Jiang Mobai standing still, she asked, "Shall I accompany you over?"

"No need, they're all our own people, nothing to worry about."

"Then I'll wait for you here."

"Alright."

Jiang Mobai responded, then stepped toward his teammates.

Seeing Jiang Mobai walking normally, the teammates were all very excited.

One of them even had reddened eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai was a bit dismissive: "What are you crying for!"

"Not crying! Sand blew into my eyes!"

The other person was just being stubborn.

Before the tears could roll down, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe them away.

Jiang Mobai smiled and patted his shoulder, not calling him out.

Wang Zi was also quite excited.

He stared fixedly at Jiang Mobai and said, "We are all especially happy that you could come!"

"I'm very happy too. Have you been training properly during this time?"

"Of course, not a single one of us has been slacking off!"

"Then in a while, let me properly appreciate the results of your training."

"No problem!"

After saying this, Wang Zi didn't lead the team members away, but instead scratched his head in agitation.

One look at his state, and Jiang Mobai knew what this kid was thinking.

"After the race ends, I'll give you the answer."

"Ah, can't you say it now? You being like this makes me prone to overthinking."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mobai raised his hand and patted Wang Zi on the head, saying, "Thinking about what? Don't you know when it's time to get down to business!"

Don't let Jiang Mobai's serious expression fool you.

But the teammates who heard this wanted to cry again.

Because this feeling was too familiar.

It was as if Jiang Mobai had never left.

"Alright, hurry back!"

The group suppressed their excitement and shouted in unison: "Yes."

Afterward, they returned in twos and threes to prepare for the race.

As for Jiang Mobai, he adjusted his mood before turning around with a nonchalant expression.

But as he turned, he discovered that Qingkong was taking pictures.

That angle...

And thinking back to his expression just now...

Jiang Mobai knitted his brows: "Can't you capture some cool shots of me? I was just getting angry!"

Qingkong didn't speak, but simply handed the camera over, signaling for him to take a look first.

Jiang Mobai leaned in to take a look.

He saw that in the photo, Jiang Mobai was standing straight, his gaze firm, his expression resolute.

With the light shining on him, his face seemed to be plated with a layer of radiance.

Hmm... quite handsome.

Jiang Mobai stroked his chin and remarked, "No wonder everyone is willing

to follow me; it turns out I am so charming!"
