Everyone In The Universe Is My Food Fan

The air was filled with the smell of fried food. Even with the window open and the purifier on, the delicious aroma was hard to hide.
Jiang Qiuqiu said, “The smell in the house is quite strong. I hope you don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind; it smells great here.”

She poured a cup of tea for her guest and then sat opposite him. “You said you had something to talk about. What is it?” She wondered why he had come over so urgently. “Is it about the community admissions for Federal University?”
“No.”
“Then what is it?”

Mo Si put down his cup and looked at Jiang Qiuqiu earnestly. “I’m here to apologize for what happened today.”
“Apologize for today?” Jiang Qiuqiu was puzzled. “What happened today? There’s nothing to apologize for.”
“There is.” Mo Si quickly admitted his mistake and explained, “I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that tone, used that teaching method, or said that you couldn’t hurt me.”

“My teaching had issues, so I’m here to apologize.”
He looked genuinely serious while apologizing, but—
Jiang Qiuqiu responded, “No, your teaching today wasn’t problematic. The mental power exercise actually helped me remember it better. I didn’t think you did anything wrong.”

As a teacher, Mo Si was truly qualified.
He would help Jiang Qiuqiu analyze and solve problems from many angles, and no matter what she asked, he could always provide detailed answers.
He never lost his temper and was generous with praise. You couldn’t hire such a teacher even if you paid.

“You are really good.”
“I was wrong.”
“…No.”

Her words didn’t seem insincere, so—
Mo Si looked directly at her. “If nothing was wrong, then why were you upset?”
“Huh?” Jiang Qiuqiu was even more puzzled. “When was I upset? I’m not upset.”
“You were.”

“I really wasn’t.”
“You were.” Mo Si was convinced and could provide evidence. “You acted differently than usual today.”
“… In what way?”

Mo Si said, “First, after training, you usually discuss the next day’s plans with me, but you didn’t today.”
“Second, your mental state was off today. Although today’s practice was tiring, it wasn’t the most intense compared to previous sessions. Yet today, your emotions were the most off.”
“Lastly, your tone when talking to me changed.”

“… What do you mean by my tone changed?”
With a swift motion, Mo Si projected the terminal screen into the air.
Instantly, the chat history between Mo Si and Jiang Qiuqiu appeared in front of them.

“Here.”
He scrolled up quickly.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes widened, and she almost spat out the water in her mouth. She coughed a couple of times. When she sent those messages before, she didn’t think much of it, but now, looking back, she felt socially mortified.

“You used to speak very…” Mo Si searched for the words, “Very cute and lively.”
“But today is different.”
Of course, it was different. Before, she thought there was mutual affection between her and Mo Si, so she naturally added a bit of coyness when talking to him. But today, she realized it was one-sided.

—
With her fantasy shattered, she was bound to feel down for a while.
Her tone naturally reverted to a more ordinary one temporarily.

But unexpectedly, the usually oblivious Mo Si noticed this slight change and thought she was upset.
“My change in tone isn’t because of the training.”
