Chapter 2266: Status Is Getting Lower and Lower
Ling Xiaoxiao's words were a bit convoluted.
It took Li Moning a moment to realize she was teasing her.
She immediately reached out to grab Ling Xiaoxiao's waist.
She grabbed both sides and said fiercely, "Alright, you're making fun of me, aren't you!"
Ling Xiaoxiao was very ticklish.
She dodged left and right, like a loach.
At the same time, she opened her mouth to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, I was wrong! Stop quickly, and I'll tell you my new idea!"
Li Moning stopped her mischievous hands and waited for Ling Xiaoxiao to speak again.
Ling Xiaoxiao breathed rapidly, calmed down for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "Our school is going to start interest classes soon!"
"I know that."
"But you definitely don't know that there's a Photography Class among them, and the school hasn't been able to find a suitable teacher. If we could invite Qingkong..."
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't finish her sentence.
But Li Moning already understood what she meant.
Suddenly, she hugged Ling Xiaoxiao and said happily, "Xiaoxiao, you really are my greatest strategist!"
"Don't be happy too soon, can you invite Qingkong?"
"I can ask my future second sister-in-law for help! They have a good relationship; she might be able to persuade Qingkong!"
"Then I wish you good luck."
Li Moning felt that her luck had been good lately.
She would definitely succeed!
After school, she didn't go home and had the driver take her directly to the apartment where Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan lived.
These two had already gotten used to living in the apartment.
After confirming their relationship, they hadn't moved out.
Instead, they had decorated the apartment to feel more like a home.
Li Moning didn't notice the changes in the apartment.
But as soon as she entered, she smelled wafts of refreshing floral fragrance.
The scent soothed Li Moning's impatience.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath and then praised: "It smells so good!"
Su Kexuan looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and then asked: "Have you had dinner?"
"No, I came straight here after school."
Jiang Mobai poked his head over and said: "Coming without saying a word, there must be something going on!"
"What could be going on? I just wanted to see Sister Kexuan, do you have an opinion?"
"No opinion, no opinion. Since you're here, stay for dinner."
That could work.
Li Moning was actually a bit hungry.
But...
Why was Jiang Mobai wearing an apron?
Li Moning asked with a look of surprise: "Don't tell me you're going to cook?"
"No, order takeout for whatever you want to eat."
"Then this apron..."
"Cutting some fruit."
What the!
Does he need such a big production just to cut some fruit?
Following this setup, would he cut his hand in a moment and ask Su Kexuan to blow on it?
Li Moning rolled her eyes and complained in her heart.
But who would have thought this complaint... would come true.
Jiang Mobai really did cut his hand in the end.
Immediately, he let out a miserable cry.
Then he held up his wrist and looked at Su Kexuan pitifully.
Su Kexuan took a look but didn't move, instead asking: "Did you break the skin on your finger?"
"No."
"Oh, then be careful."
After saying that, Su Kexuan prepared to continue chatting with Li Moning.
This reaction made Jiang Mobai find it unbelievable.
He interrupted the two of them: "Kexuan, I'm hurt!"
"But you aren't bleeding."
"That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!"
These accusatory words made Li Moning shiver.
She couldn't stand it, rubbed her arm, and then complained: "People with thick skin usually don't feel pain, Second Brother, stop being so pretentious."
"You... I'm not talking to you guys anymore!"
Jiang Mobai turned and went back to his room.
He prepared to wait in the room for Su Kexuan to coax him.
Unfortunately, Su Kexuan had no intention of coaxing anyone for the time being.
Instead, she turned her attention to Li Moning and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what do you need from me?"
"Ah? Nothing much, just came to see you all."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm su... um... alright, actually there is something, I wanted to ask for your help."
Facing Su Kexuan's calm gaze that seemed to see through everything, Li Moning suddenly felt that all concealment was meaningless.
Since that was the case, it was better to get straight to the point.
In fact, Su Kexuan had long guessed from Li Moning's hesitant little expressions that her coming here today was not a coincidence.
Now that the little girl was no longer being stubborn, Su Kexuan followed up and asked, "What help do you want from me?"
"It's like this, the school is going to hold interest classes, and one of them is a Photography Class; I want to invite Qingkong to teach!"
At the mention of Qingkong, Li Moning's eyes sparkled.
But she did not wait for Su Kexuan's reply.
Instead, she was stared at thoughtfully by her.
Li Moning felt rather uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but cough lightly, then asked, "What's wrong, is my request very abrupt?"
It wasn't that it was abrupt.
It was just that Su Kexuan suddenly thought of Jiang Motian's worries.
Qingkong would definitely not develop feelings for a little girl.
But the taste of unrequited love was not easy to bear either.
And the best solution was to be able to cut off the romantic fantasies in Li Moning's heart.
But Su Kexuan had also come from that age.
She knew that setting up too many obstacles would instead stir up a fighting spirit.
It would be better to...
Su Kexuan's thoughts turned a thousand times.
Finally, she made a concession: "I'll help you ask Qingkong, I just don't know if he will have the time."
"Is Qingkong busy with work lately?"
"A little, not much, but this guy likes to find things to do for himself; he can't stay idle."
"Mm, people with free souls are all like this."
Li Moning's description made Su Kexuan raise her eyebrows slightly.
Then she asked, "You admire Qingkong very much?"
Li Moning fidgeted for a moment and nodded lightly.
"Then what do you admire about him?"
"He, well, he's upright, brave, smart, and talented!"
Mentioning Qingkong's merits, Li Moning didn't hesitate to summarize them.
From her eyes full of spirit, one could also see that Li Moning's praise came from the bottom of her heart.
But...
Why was the Qingkong in Li Moning's mouth different from the Qingkong Su Kexuan knew?
Could this be beauty in the eye of the beholder?
Su Kexuan thought, perhaps letting the two have more contact and breaking the filter would solve the problem easily.
Since she wanted to break the filter, she had to let Qingkong release his true self.
Then expose his childish, goofy, and gossipy side.
As for how to expose it naturally...
Su Kexuan rested her chin on her fingers and fell into deep thought.
Before long, the door to Jiang Mobai's bedroom was suddenly opened.
Jiang Mobai had become more and more irritable the longer he waited in the room.
Finally, he couldn't wait any longer.
He yanked the door open and issued a question: "You all really don't care about me at all!"
Su Kexuan and Li Moning exchanged a glance, then started to laugh.
This laugh was no small matter; Jiang Mobai was even angrier: "You're still laughing! It seems I really have no status in your hearts!!"
"Alright, alright, where does it hurt? I'll help you blow on it."
Su Kexuan ultimately made a concession.
But Jiang Mobai began to put on airs: "Caring now? It's too late! My heart is already hurting!"
As he spoke, Jiang Mobai pointed to his own heart.
Li Moning shivered, unable to stand it.
