Chapter 157: Chapter 162: Overnight Sensation, Internet Celebrity (2)

Ling Momo’s eyes instantly sparkled, and the next second, she burst into laughter.

She had figured out what Li Qingshen’s intention was...

Right now, the "Mysterious Goddess" was going viral online, bound to attract a lot of attention, inevitably catching the eyes of merchants too.

People who were clever and had a head for business would certainly seize this opportunity for publicity, a win-win outcome for both her and the merchants.

Therefore, it was essential that the identity of the "Mysterious Goddess" not be revealed, and furthermore, efforts must be made to prevent those in the know from leaking it. The more mysterious and low-key it was, the greater everyone’s suspicion, and the hotter the "Mysterious Goddess" would trend.

"Teacher... you’re really smart..." Ling Momo expressed her sincere admiration, not to mention how annoying and perverse Li Qingshen was, but when it came to this matter, his thoughts were indeed much more profound than hers.

The depths of Ling Momo’s eyes were filled with a shimmering, watery smile, her demeanor tender, and her pure black pupils twinkled with intense excitement and hope, as she blinked bashfully at him.

Her eyes, blinking like that of a Barbie doll, caused Li Qingshen to inadvertently stare at her and become slightly lost in thought.

After she finished eating, she didn’t wipe the corner of her lips, and on the strands of hair that hung down, there was a grain of rice.

Li Qingshen slightly frowned and gently reached out his hand toward Ling Momo.

Ling Momo watched as Li Qingshen’s hand extended towards her, tilting her head and blinking, her gaze fixed on Li Qingshen.

The man’s typically cold expression carried a hint of bewilderment, yet it did not detract from his beauty; he was still strikingly handsome.

Ling Momo glanced at him and was taken aback; she felt his fingertips touch her hair, a faint fragrance drifting gently towards her. Ling Momo’s heartbeat suddenly skipped, she held her breath and couldn’t help but blush slightly.

But Li Qingshen had already softly removed the grain of rice from her hair, his eyes softening with a gentle glow.

He turned his head to see the girl staring blankly at his face and his heartbeat sped up unexpectedly, an uncontrollable urge and desire stirring and spreading tumultuously at the pit of his stomach.

His fingers could not help but shift from her hair, slowly moving towards her fair and delicate cheek.

His throat moved subtly.

All of a sudden... he had an intense urge to kiss her.

He leant forward unwittingly, but she suddenly shook her head, startling him into halting his motion.

It was then that Li Qingshen abruptly came back to his senses, realizing just how close he had been to doing something impulsively.

He sat up straight in alarm, withdrawing his hand from her hair.

Afterwards, he forced himself to appear indifferent and aloof, calmly picking up a cup of tea and holding it in his palm. He looked away nonchalantly, telling himself to stay in control, not to lose it, not to let her notice anything amiss.

When Ling Momo saw the grain of rice on Li Qingshen’s fingertip, she understood why he had acted that way, but for some reason, why did she feel such a nervous misconception?

Was it because he was too handsome? Or was it because he always appeared so cold, and the act of doing something so ordinary had taken her by surprise?

Ling Momo even felt her breathing was somewhat abnormal, and she didn’t know whether she was being overly sensitive or had misread the situation, but the atmosphere in the restaurant felt very strange.
