Li Qingshen had already made a call and reserved a private room. As soon as they walked in and sat down, a waiter presented them with the menu.
Li Qingshen took the menu and handed it to Ling Momo, "What would you like to eat? Feel free to choose anything."
Ling Momo opened the menu, but the prices scared her after just one glance.
Back when Li Qingshen was studying abroad, he had brought her here for dinner upon his return to China. However, every time they ate, he did the ordering, so she wasn’t aware of the names of the dishes. Therefore, she cautiously looked up at the composed Li Qingshen sitting across from her and then lowered her head to flip through the menu pages. When she finally found a dish she had eaten before, she pointed to it and ordered, then continued to look for others. After she had ordered two dishes she recognized, Li Qingshen’s gaze on her began to intensify. Suddenly, he turned his head to the waiter and continued with a few more dish names.
After the waiter left, Li Qingshen leaned back in his chair, staring at Ling Momo with what seemed to be a good mood.
Ling Momo felt uneasy under his gaze, her eyes drifting, and after a long while, as if remembering something, she asked, "Teacher, what did you want to see me about?"
It was then that Li Qingshen remembered the main reason for his visit today, cleared his throat, and started, "Your MTV has been planned out. Tomorrow night’s flight, heading to Hainan."
Upon hearing that they were going to shoot the MTV for her new song, Ling Momo naturally felt some joy, her eyes sparkling with sheer happiness, "Hainan?" Get full chapters from novᴇlfire.net
"Mm," Li Qingshen said, looking at the gleaming light in the girl’s eyes and feeling even better, his tone became much softer, "This time the MTV will feature locations from around the world. Look at the schedule here."
While saying this, Li Qingshen passed a spreadsheet to Ling Momo.
Ling Momo looked down at the spreadsheet, from China to France, then America, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Japan, the Maldives... it had everything...
Ling Momo couldn’t help becoming more and more excited. Everyone harbors the wish to see the world’s beautiful sights, and she was no exception. She just never thought her wish could be fulfilled by shooting her very first MTV.
The bleakness that had haunted Ling Momo’s heart until recently vanished in an instant, replaced by joy and excitement. She couldn’t help exclaiming in a low voice, "So many countries!"
Just then, a waiter happened to be serving dishes. After her exclamation, Ling Momo realized she had overreacted and her face turned a slight shade of red. She lowered her head, embarrassed, shifting in her seat. After a while, she looked up at Li Qingshen again, awkwardly changed the subject, and said, "Teacher, who came up with this MTV idea? It’s so creative!"
Li Qingshen returned her gaze, his eyes deep. He answered with a meaning-laden response, "A girl said something that inspired me."
Unfortunately, Ling Momo didn’t catch the implication in Li Qingshen’s words and praised him wholeheartedly with a soft tone, "So it was your idea, Teacher. No wonder it’s so good!"
Li Qingshen didn’t say anything, just kept gazing intently at Ling Momo. After a long while, he finally spoke up, "Because we’re going to so many places, the schedule is quite tight. Will you feel rushed?"
Ling Momo looked over the schedule again. Much of the time involved flying to and from locations, but there were rests in between each destination—it didn’t seem too rushed, so she shook her head and said, "It’s fine."
