Chapter 2260: Make His Eyes Light Up

In the eyes of Qingkong, Li Moning was more like a cute little sister.

However, he did not refute Li Moning, only smiling as he said, "Me? I was born with a life of toil; eating instant noodles is fine, I can just make do with a meal and keep working."

"You can't just 'make do' like that, it's bad for your health."

"Hmm, it's only like this occasionally."

"Occasionally? The last time I asked you what you were eating, you also said you were eating instant noodles."

"Is that so? I don't even remember."

"I remember. Things about you, I remember them all."

After Li Moning finished saying this, she froze for a moment.

The next second, she panicked and hurriedly explained, "I—I have a very good memory; whatever happens to my friends, I remember it very firmly!"

Qingkong didn't think much of it, and he laughed, "That's great."

His tone was very casual.

Li Moning let out a soft sigh of relief.

Then she changed the subject: "The art gallery opens next week, will you come?"

"Of course."

"I'll be going too, so, see you then."

"Alright."

Qingkong prepared to end the conversation.

But before hanging up the phone, he thought of something and commented, "I saw the photo you just posted; it was taken well, the angle and lighting are both excellent."

Qingkong's critique was very professional.

But what Li Moning wanted to hear was not this kind of professional critique.

She held her phone and hesitated for a moment.

Then she tentatively asked, "Then... what about the person in the photo?"

After asking this question, Li Moning's toes curled up slightly.

Her whole person was filled with both embarrassment and a bit of anticipation.

Soon, Qingkong gave his answer: "The person is perfect, of course, full of the aura of youth."

As soon as Li Moning heard this, she couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a "pfft" of laughter.

Then she suppressed her laughter and said, "Mm, I think so too. Anyway, I won't say more for now, see you at the art gallery."

As the words fell, Li Moning hung up the phone.

Qingkong heard Li Moning's laughter.

He shook his head gently, thinking to himself that she was just a child after all, getting so happy just from hearing someone praise her twice.

Sigh, youth is truly simple.

Qingkong sighed to himself on his end.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Moning was already like a monkey, screaming and jumping around on her bed.

She was so happy.

But thinking that she was still wearing the bracelet and that moving too much might break it, she hurriedly sat down cross-legged.

Although her body had calmed down, Li Moning's mind was racing.

She fantasized about how to make Qingkong's eyes light up when they met next time...

In the blink of an eye, the day of the art gallery's opening arrived.

This day was not only the opening day, but also the day of Jiang Motian's art exhibition.

Jiang Motian had painted quite a few new works recently.

Once promoted, many of her fans came in admiration.

To make the activities on the opening day more varied, a salon event was also held on-site.

Not only were there free small desserts, but Jiang Motian was also there in person to teach painting techniques.

The theme of this event was to ensure art was not just something high-brow and inaccessible.

As long as they liked it, the general public could also wander in the ocean of art.

And judging from the results on-site, the event was held very successfully.

Su Kexuan, as the organizer, was very satisfied with this.

Suddenly, a familiar loud voice came from behind her: "Ms. Su!"

As soon as Wang Zi shouted, he was scolded by Jiang Mobai: "Keep your voice down, do you think this is a vegetable market?"

"Uh, sorry about that."

Wang Zi laughed awkwardly.

When Su Kexuan looked over, Wang Zi scratched the back of his head, then lowered his voice and said, "There are so many people here!"

Several of Jiang Mobai's teammates had come specifically to show their support upon learning that the art gallery was opening today.

As a result, there were so many people here that they almost got separated.

One of them even commented quite bluntly: "Ms. Jiang's paintings are really beautiful, but I don't understand them."

Su Kexuan smiled lightly: "There's a salon being held over there, you can go and listen."

"Will we be able to understand it?"

"Yes, the content Tiantian explains is simple and easy to understand, very suitable for you."

"Oh, then we must go and broaden our horizons!"

As the few of them spoke, they went to join the fun.

Jiang Mobai, however, did not follow them over.

Su Kexuan asked, "Don't you need to go host them?"

"They're all my own people, what's there to host? Besides, they won't have the patience to listen for long, and then they'll start sweeping through the cupcakes."

As he spoke, Jiang Mobai let out an "Oops" and muttered, "I have to tell them to show some restraint, I hope they don't eat the dessert table empty!"

After saying this, Jiang Mobai was about to go instruct his teammates.

Su Kexuan stopped him with a smile, "It's fine, there are plenty of snacks today, let them eat as much as they want."

"But..."

"No more 'buts.' I organized this event; are you doubting my ability to prepare?"

How could Jiang Mobai dare to?

He didn't say anything more.

He only hoped in his heart that his brothers wouldn't do anything to embarrass him.

Exhaling a long breath, Jiang Mobai began to look around.

Looking at it this way...

Jiang Mobai curled his lips, his brows and eyes filled with joy.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan asked, "What are you smiling at?"

"Seeing the art gallery I helped decorate be so popular, it really gives me a sense of accomplishment!"

Jiang Mobai had indeed put in a lot of effort.

Su Kexuan had seen all of his contributions.

Hearing his words now, Su Kexuan said sincerely, "You've worked hard during this time."

"For you, no amount of hard work is too much."

As Jiang Mobai spoke, he took Su Kexuan's hand.

And gazed at her with deep affection.

However, his sensitivity to the camera made him realize, even while being affectionate, that there was media present at the scene.

He glanced over, then asked Su Kexuan, "Did you invite them?"

"Yes, the art gallery needs publicity, and today is a very good opportunity."

"Then do you want me to go over and accept an interview?"

Su Kexuan laughed in spite of herself and countered, "Why would they want to interview you?"

"I participated in the decoration here, I know the features like the back of my hand, I could give a good introduction."

Jiang Mobai's words had some logic to them.

But not much.

Su Kexuan patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Trust me, they won't be interested in that content; they'll only ask how we are getting along."

"Then I'll just tell them, and share some of my dating experience while I'm at it."

Jiang Mobai was getting serious.

He was even eager to try.

Su Kexuan, however, held him down, not allowing this guy to mess around.

The two of them were going back and forth right there.

And their interaction was captured by the cameraman's lens.

The cameraman even exchanged a look with the reporter beside him:

So sweet!

Sigh, this romance, it really is more interesting to watch others date!

However, their task for coming here today was not to film a romance variety show; they still needed to focus their cameras more on the visitors.

Soon, the reporter spotted a young beauty among the visitors.

The reporter's eyes lit up.

Afterward, he hurriedly urged the cameraman, "Quick, move the camera over, get a close-up!"

And the person captured by the lens was none other than Li Moning.

She was still wearing the cheongsam from that day, wearing a jade bracelet, and her hair was held in place with a hairpin.

Standing in the crowd, quiet and still, she was like a magnolia flower, attracting everyone's attention.
