Back at the apartment building, Mo Jingchun was already drenched in sweat, whether from running or the scorching sun.
As usual, after putting his sister Little Candy in the stroller, Mo Jingchun heated up the leftover millet porridge from the morning and simply fried an egg with rice for himself.
But when Mo Jingchun tried to feed Little Candy the millet porridge, he was taken aback.
Normally, Little Candy loved millet porridge and never refused it, but now she was frowning and pushing the spoon away with her little hand.
Whatâs going on? Could she be sick? This has never happened before.
Startled, Mo Jingchun quickly took out his phone to search for answers.
"If a kid occasionally doesnât eat, it could very well be theyâre already full..."
Already full...
Mo Jingchun lifted up the little oneâs shirt to look at her belly and was completely shocked.
Little Candyâs belly was all round and bulging. How much did these women feed her?!
No wonder Little Candy wouldnât eat millet porridge anymore, there was no room left in that belly.
After finally getting Little Candy to sleep, Mo Jingchun ate his egg and rice and sent a message on QQ to class president Yang Xiaoyu.
"Class president, how much did you guys feed my sister?"
Beep beep beepïœ
"???"
"Whatâs wrong?"
"I only gave her an apple, I donât know how much they fed her during the next class."
Choking on his egg and rice, Mo Jingchun coughed and accidentally sprayed rice all over the table at Yang Xiaoyuâs words.
An apple! Damn it!
An apple that size, Mo Jingchun would feed at most a fifth to Little Candy, and the rest would pretty much go into his own stomach.
Feeding a whole apple at once had never happened before.
Even more frightening for Mo Jingchun was that after class, Little Candy held a big strawberry, although she only nibbled the tip and stuffed the rest into Mo Jingchunâs mouth.
At a loss for words, Mo Jingchun silently sent the photo he had just taken of his sisterâs round little belly to class president Yang Xiaoyu.
Upon receiving the photo, Yang Xiaoyu initially found it adorable, but upon realizing it was Little Candyâs belly, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Without delay, Yang Xiaoyu ran to the dorm next door to ask Deng Lanlan if she fed her afterwards.
Deng Lanlan, just climbing into bed ready for a nap, looked puzzled at the anxious class president Yang Xiaoyu.
"Yes, I did. I brought a box of strawberries, and Little Candy ate quite a few."
Yang Xiaoyu gasped, "Any left?"
"Not sure," Deng Lanlan replied uncertainly.
"Xuanyu and the others also brought food, but Little Candy pushed it away, seemed she didnât like it."
Yang Xiaoyuâs mouth twitched; it wasnât that she didnât like it, she was already full by then. But she probably ate the strawberries because she really loved them.
"Whatâs wrong? Class president, surely the strawberries I bought werenât bad, and Little Candy didnât get a stomach ache from them?"
Deng Lanlan felt panicked and fumed inwardly at the dishonest fruit vendor for selling shoddy fruit.
"No, itâs not that."
Hearing it wasnât that, Deng Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief; at least the strawberries were fine, otherwise that would have been a huge mistake.
"But... never mind! Just check it out for yourself! Mo Jingchun just sent this to me."
In the dorm, just when everyone felt relieved, Yang Xiaoyuâs words raised their concerns again.
Everyone stretched to look at the screen on Yang Xiaoyuâs phone.
"This is what happened; the little one was overfed by us and didnât eat the supplemental food at noon when Mo Jingchun tried to feed her."
"Anyway, we should let them know about this. We canât let our good intentions have bad outcomes, and proper nutrition is important for a kid; skipping supplemental food isnât good."
Ten minutes later, the girls went back to their dorms, but everyone noted to themselves not to overfeed Little Candy.
At two in the afternoon, the little one on the bed was still asleep. Mo Jingchun, with only two books in his backpack, carefully picked up his sister Little Candy, left the apartment building, and closed the door.
When Mo Jingchun reached the classroom, the girls immediately gathered around, relieved to see Little Candy fine and just asleep.
"Whatâs up? Whatâs with those looks?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Standing by, Li Xuanyu hesitated, then asked, "Mo Jingchun, can I hold her?"
Based on the dorm sequence, it should be her, Li Xuanyuâs turn.
Mo Jingchun glanced at his still-sleeping sister and said to Li Xuanyu, "Maybe wait until she wakes up."
"If she doesnât see me right after waking up, she really will cry, and in a way thatâs hard to soothe."
"Okay then."
The girls dispersed, and Mo Jingchun heaved a sigh of relief.
Mo Jingchun wasnât lying earlier; it was all true. Ever since their mother passed away, if she woke up and didnât initially see Mo Jingchun, Little Candy would cry continuously until she did.
A little after three in the afternoon, when Little Candy naturally woke up and saw his familiar face, she didnât cry or fuss, just craned her neck to look around.
However, being held reclining by Mo Jingchun and most of her view blocked by the desk, she couldnât see much no matter how she turned her head.
Mo Jingchun only realized his sister was awake after she scratched him.
Checking the time, there were still over ten minutes until the break. Mo Jingchun put down his black gel pen and touched Little Candyâs diaper.
"Thank goodness, still dry."
However, the very next second, Little Candy clapped Mo Jingchunâs face, and his smile froze.
Pee there...
The afternoon rolled smoothly, with Li Xuanyu taking Little Candy when the diaper needed changing.
After the last class of the day, with the little koala back on Mo Jingchun, he immediately felt the little oneâs tummy.
All good, seems she wasnât fed in the afternoon.
At night, when feeding millet porridge and milk, Little Candy ate and drank as usual.
"So, was the first day of class considered smooth?"
Li Na was in a good mood today, especially since all the teachers praised the students of Class 21 Software a lot.
Being the counselor for Class 21 Software, hearing compliments about her class, she felt over the moon.
Replying instantly to counselor Naâs WeChat message, Mo Jingchun said:
"Everything went smoothly, both classmates and professors seem to really like the little one."
"Thatâs great."
