Yang Xiaoyu opened her mouth, originally wanting to persuade a bit, but in the end, she just sighed.
This thing really canât be forced.
"Alright then, if you change your mind before Friday, you can always bring the application to me."
Mo Jingchun, who was holding his sister Candy, nodded in agreement, "Okay, if I want to apply, Iâll bring the application to your dormitory."
Apply? Just kidding, not even thinking about it.
Not to mention that it wonât be long before money wonât be an issue, even if collaboration takes a while, Mo Jingchun wouldnât apply for a poor studentâs scholarship.
From the start, even before signing any contract, Mo Jingchun had no plans to apply for the poor studentâs scholarship.
Mo Jingchun doesnât want to one day get on the headlines because of spending money, becoming a target of ridicule among the people.
In the afternoon, when going to class, Mo Jingchun hadnât sat down before Candy was coaxed away by the girls.
Since the start of school, itâs been over two months, nearly three months now, and even after all this time, the girls are still willing to help Mo Jingchun take Care of his sister Candy. To be honest, Mo Jingchun himself admires this.
If anyone really thinks Candy is an easy baby, Mo Jingchun could only tell them that taking care of the little one, unless sheâs asleep, thereâs no such thing as "easy."
The only comfort is that the little one hasnât cried in the classroom yet, only occasionally babbling during class, making the teachers and classmates laugh.
In the Discrete Mathematics class, the professor was explaining graph theory on the podium. Having already self-studied graph theory, Li Xuanyu, who was holding Mo Jingchunâs sister Candy, wasnât really paying attention but was worriedly watching the little one sitting on her lap, seriously gnawing on a teething ring, making squeaky sounds.
Heavens! Li Xuanyu couldnât believe her eyes, the hard wood had actually been gnawed into two grooves by the little one!
And the more Candy gnawed, the more vigorous she became. The squeaky sounds even scared Li Xuanyu a bit.
Wonât the little one knock out her only 5 baby teeth!
At first, Li Xuanyu tried to hide the teething ring hanging on Candyâs chest to stop her from gnawing.
Just as she moved, the little one became dissatisfied, furrowing her small brows, looking on the verge of crying.
Even offering a bright red strawberry and candy in exchange, Candy was unwilling.
This class was sheer torture for Li Xuanyu, who, since arriving at Jing University, was wishing for class to end early for the first time.
Unable to remove the teething ring that Candy was gnawing on, the only thing Li Xuanyu could do was continuously wipe the drool off the little oneâs mouth with tissues as she gnawed on the teething ring.
The squeaky sound of the little one gnawing on the teething ring wasnât too loud nor too soft, at least the girls sitting next to Li Xuanyu and in the row behind could hear it.
Zhou Hueling and the others were both shocked and had their hearts racing.
Gosh, do kids grind their teeth so fiercely?
If not for the teething ring being pretty big, Li Xuanyu would have suspected Candy would shove the whole teething ring into her mouth to bite, instead of just gnawing on the edges like now.
The whole class, Li Xuanyu didnât know how she managed to endure, the professor turned around to leave the classroom just as class ended, and swiftly, Li Xuanyu walked over to Mo Jingchun with Candy still gnawing on the teething ring, placing Candy into Mo Jingchunâs arms.
"What happened?" Mo Jingchun, bewildered, took his sister Candy, looking confused at the frightened-looking Li Xuanyu.
Usually, the girls wouldnât bring Candy back until the last class was over, whatâs going on today?
Zhou Hueling poked her head out from behind Li Xuanyu, pointing at the teething ring in Candyâs hand, "I know, I know, just look at that teething ring, then youâll understand."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun looked down carefully at the teething ring his sister Candy was gnawing on, no matter how he looked, he couldnât see anything wrong.
"Hey, no, Mo Jingchun, didnât you notice the teething ring your sister gnawed out two little grooves on? Just during class, Candy was gnawing on the teething ring super loudly."
"Oh, this? Geez, my sisterâs been gnawing on it for a few days now, sheâs probably teething, itchy and uncomfortable."
Mo Jingchun shrugged, and said very calmly, "Initially, I was worried too, scared that the little one would gnaw off her only four baby teeth, but clearly, I was overthinking it."
"And during this time, basically every three days I have to replace Candyâs bottle with a new nipple, every time itâs changed, the bitten off nipple could be used as a showerhead."
"Really nothing wrong? Candyâs gnawing really loud?"
Mo Jingchun chuckled and said, "Donât worry, Iâve checked, itâs really fine."
"Oh, then Iâm relieved." After saying this, Li Xuanyu snatched Candy, who was focused diligently on gnawing the teething ring, from Mo Jingchunâs arms and left without looking back.
Leaving only a puzzled Mo Jingchun sitting on his seat dumbfounded.
Mo Jingchun: ???
Under the streetlamp, Mo Jingchun walked unhurriedly with his sister Candy, who was tired of gnawing on the teething ring and had fallen asleep.
That day, as time passed, it got dark earlier.
When first arriving at Jing University, even after the last class, you could still see the sun hadnât set completely.
By mid-November, after the last class of the day, the sky had long since darkened, and the streetlights had come on early.
Just then, walking on the way back to the apartment, Mo Jingchun felt his phone vibrating continuously in his jeans pocket.
With one hand holding Candy, Mo Jingchun pulled out his phone from his pocket, only to see a strange number calling, looking very much like a telemarketing call.
Without even thinking, Mo Jingchunâs hand automatically hung up the call instinctively.
Just as Mo Jingchun was about to put his phone back in his pocket, it started vibrating again. Mo Jingchun looked down and chuckled.
Thereâs still such a dedicated telemarketer these days?
Mo Jingchun thought, if he were this personâs boss, heâd definitely promote and give this employee a raise.
"Hello?"
"Itâs me."
Mo Jingchun frowned, this telemarketer was unconventional, opening with "itâs me," acting like they knew each other well.
"Who are you?"
Originally, Mo Jingchun was planning to hang up the call, but for some reason, he felt like toying with the person.
On the other end, Major Zhang Aijunâs mouth twitched, how long had it been, already forgot his voice.
"Itâs me, Zhang Aijun, we just met yesterday."
Mo Jingchun: what?
"Ahem, Major Zhang, you guys too, why make the phone number look like telemarketing numbers, I thought it was a marketing call."
Zhang Aijun wouldnât tell Mo Jingchun, this is the intended effect of the phone number.
"Hereâs the thing, thereâs a project needing special optimization on the balance algorithm, I wanted to ask how long it would take for you to do the special optimization, so I can arrange whether you will be on-site or work from home."
"Send over the parameters and information, it will take at most an hour to complete the algorithm optimization, and if there are any issues later, Iâll help you guys with tweaks."
