Chapter 365: Chapter 365

Ling Momo knew it was just a coincidence, but for some reason, she couldn’t help feeling her heartbeat accelerate uncontrollably, even tinged with a hint of nervousness. Fresh chapters posted on novel⟡fire.net

Ling Momo dared not look at Li Qingshen again, instead she sat restlessly beside him.

It felt like an eternity before the boat finally reached the hotel where they were staying. Li Qingshen stood up first, gracefully disembarking from the boat.

Momo followed him, but as she got ashore, the boat wobbled, causing her to sway slightly. With a low exclamation, she stumbled forward.

Hearing her cry, Li Qingshen turned around and the next moment, the girl’s body crashed into his chest. It wasn’t a heavy collision, but he felt as if she weighed a ton, hitting the softest part of his heart with quivering force, leaving him shaken for a long time, unable to calm down.

Momo steadied herself and quickly stepped back from Li Qingshen’s embrace, her face extraordinarily red.

Li Qingshen, looking at Momo’s flushed face, was particularly captivated and couldn’t help but stare absently.

Momo dared not meet Li Qingshen’s gaze and noticed he stood rooted to the spot. Unable to bear it, she whispered a reminder, "Teacher..."

Li Qingshen, hearing her voice, gradually refocused his eyes, realizing his lapse. He cleared his throat lightly and looked at her, a faint smile in his eyes. When Momo looked up, his gaze had returned to calm. He turned and walked towards the steps, leaving her with an indifferent remark, "Watch your step on the stairs."

His voice didn’t seem any different than usual, but it carried an inexplicable touch of unusualness, which made Momo nod slightly in panic before following him.

Perhaps it was the effect of that interaction, which wasn’t quite a kiss but yet felt like one. The usually lively Momo was exceptionally well-behaved and quiet during dinner, sitting as always next to Li Qingshen. However, she lacked her usual vivacity, sitting obediently and properly, focusing only on her meal.

In fact, the filming had come to an end with only one scene left back in China, in Tibet. However, due to the unique environment of Tibet, they decided to rest before resuming the shoot.

This work trip had lasted nearly two months, and everyone was away from home, weary from the constant travel. Now that they were about to return, all the crew members were especially excited, the fatigue of the past days forgotten as they gathered together for lively discussions.

Having been out for so long, Momo also found herself missing City X. She had been preoccupied with the afternoon’s incident on Sigh Bridge, but suddenly, the conversation shifted, and the thought of returning home the next day lifted her spirits. She immediately joined in, drinking a little wine and engaging in light conversation with everyone.

In the middle of the meal, Li Qingshen’s phone suddenly rang.

Li Qingshen stood up and stepped aside to take the call. When he returned, his expression carried a trace of subtle excitement.
