Chapter 2273: Only by Being Better Can One Be Worthy of Him

As soon as Li Moning asked this question, Jiang Motian knew what the little girl was planning.

But she did not intend to let Qingkong tag along, so she wanted to refuse on Qingkong's behalf.

As it turned out, Qingkong spoke first: "I'm actually not busy lately."

"That's great, let's go to the amusement park together!"

"Sure, I'll take photos for you all when the time comes."

"To have a great photographer help take pictures, I'm just too lucky!"

Li Moning was overjoyed.

Jiang Motian, however, felt compelled to say a few words: "I think you should spend more time playing with people your own age."

Hearing this, Qingkong couldn't help but glance at Jiang Motian.

He wondered if she was implying that he was old.

Well, looking at their ages, there was indeed an age gap between him and Li Moning.

But there was no generation gap between them, and they got along quite happily.

Even with an age gap, two people could still be friends regardless of age.

Playing together was not much of a problem.

Qingkong reached this conclusion in his heart.

His whole person also became at ease again.

Li Moning did not know his conclusion.

If she knew she had become a friend regardless of age to Qingkong...

She would probably cry to death.

At this moment, Li Moning came up with another idea: "I can call my classmates to come along!"

Jiang Motian did not get the answer she wanted.

She felt a bit disappointed inside, and her tone was soft: "Fine, the more the merrier, that's good."

Is it good?

The expression on her sister's face did not look very good at all.

Li Moning grew suspicious.

Jiang Motian, however, did not say another word.

Arriving at the entrance of the Hospital, the two sisters parted ways with Qingkong.

With no outsiders around, Jiang Motian turned her head to look at Li Moning several times while driving, as if she had something to say.

But every time, she did not speak.

Finally, Li Moning took the initiative to ask: "Sister, is there something you want to say?"

"... Indeed, your primary task right now is to study hard and determine your future direction; there is no rush for other things."

Jiang Motian spoke quite tactfully.

She hoped to give Li Moning a hint.

At the same time, she did not want to overthink it.

But Li Moning did not think in that direction at all.

She didn't even catch Jiang Motian's hint: "Hmm, I'm not in a rush; I quite like my life right now."

Watching the little girl looking happy, Jiang Motian was speechless for a moment.

She gripped the steering wheel and sighed softly.

In her mind, she was wondering how Qingkong could cause such a thing on his very first day at school.

Or was it...

Was Momo pretending to be sick to attract Qingkong's attention?

The sudden hypothesis made even Jiang Motian feel it was absurd.

But thinking about it carefully...

Was it really just absurd?

Jiang Motian turned her head to look at Li Moning again.

This glance was full of hidden meaning.

Li Moning happened to see Jiang Motian's glance.

She felt as if she had been seen through in an instant.

This feeling was very uncomfortable.

Li Moning shifted uncomfortably and then discussed with Jiang Motian: "Sister, the way you are acting like you want to say something but don't makes me feel quite uneasy. Why don't you just say it directly?"

"Fine, then I'll be direct: were you pretending to be sick?"

Li Moning did not expect her sister to be so direct and was stunned for a moment.

And her reaction let Jiang Motian know that she had guessed correctly.

Immediately, she shook her head helplessly.

Once Li Moning came back to her senses, she hurriedly said: "Actually, I can explain!"

"Go ahead and explain, I'm listening."

"I—I made a bet with my classmates to see if acting weak could attract Qingkong's concern!"

The reason Li Moning gave was half-true and half-false.

Jiang Motian did not question it, only asking: "And the conclusion?"

"Acting weak is risky; I will never do this again."

This time, what Li Moning said was all true.

If Li Moning had known she would end up being sent to the Hospital, she would rather die than fake an illness!

Jiang Motian then added to Li Moning's words: "It's not just that there are risks; it also makes those who truly care about you worry!"

When Jiang Motian learned that Li Moning had been sent to the Hospital, she was truly terrified.

On the way over, the car was driven extremely fast.

She wished she could fly to Li Moning's side immediately.

And after hearing Jiang Motian's words, Li Moning lowered her head.

After a moment, she asked tentatively: "So, is Qingkong also scared?"

Jiang Motian was speechless once again!

She had thought that after this girl thought it over seriously, she would have some realization.

She didn't expect that she would still be thinking about Qingkong!

In that instant, a trace of a biting aura radiated from Jiang Motian.

Li Moning caught it.

The little girl finally realized that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and she quickly said: "I know, you are also very worried about me!"

As Li Moning spoke, she carefully observed Jiang Motian's reaction.

That cautious appearance made Jiang Motian's heart soften.

She relaxed her expression and said gently to Li Moning: "Qingkong is an adult and has many things to do."

"I am not small anymore either."

"But to Qingkong, you are just a child."

Li Moning blinked her eyes and muttered dejectedly: "I know, he sees me as a younger sister."

"Ah? You... have already talked to this point?"

"Is there anything that can't be talked about?"

Li Moning's counter-question left Jiang Motian speechless.

She thought for a while before coming up with a response: "No, what I mean is, you need to work hard to grow up and become excellent first, so that more people can see you."

Become excellent?

Let more people see her?

Li Moning's expression was dazed for a moment.

Then she asked: "How excellent do I have to be to be seen?"

"Hmm... the kind that shines, so that one can see you as soon as they look up."

Li Moning lowered her head and fell into deep thought because of this sentence.

When she raised her head again, a different kind of brilliance bloomed in her eyes.

Looking back, it was because of Qingkong's excellence that Li Moning had noticed him.

And excellent people are destined to be with excellent people.

So if Li Moning wants to get what she wishes, doesn't she have to make herself strong?

Li Moning pursed her lips, a look of determination showing in her eyes.

When she returned home, she went back to her room without saying a word.

Jiang Baobao heard the commotion and walked into the living room with Li Beijue from the garden.

They happened to see Li Moning closing her door.

Seeing that Jiang Motian was still in the living room, Jiang Baobao asked: "Is Momo alright?"

"She's fine, she went back to her room to rest."

"Then what did the doctor say?"

"Maybe she's under a bit too much pressure; she'll be fine after relaxing. By the way, I've decided to take Momo to the amusement park this weekend."

Li Beijue nodded in agreement: "A good suggestion. Which amusement park do you want to go to? Dad can book the whole park for you."

"Absolutely not. Going to an amusement park is for the lively atmosphere. If an empty amusement park only had a few of us, how scary would that be."

Jiang Baobao also said: "You, stop giving bad ideas!"

Li Beijue rubbed his nose sheepishly, then instructed Jiang Motian: "In any case, if you need anything, just tell Dad."

"Mm, I know."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
