Candy struggled a few times but couldnât break free from Mo Jingchunâs big hands.
The little one hummed twice, stopped struggling, and directly lay on Mo Jingchunâs chest to sleep.
Not really sleeping, just quietly listening to the rhythmic heartbeat of Mo Jingchun with eyes closed.
Thump~ thump~ thump~ thump~
If not careful, the little oneâs drool would fall onto Mo Jingchunâs chest.
It wasnât until the alarm clock rang that Mo Jingchun put the little one down.
Mo Jingchun patted the little oneâs bottom and said, "Candy, get up."
From under the covers, Candyâs head popped out and she swiftly crawled out.
Mo Jingchun helped the little one get dressed and casually picked up a thermometer to take her temperature.
Seeing the normal temperature on the thermometer, Mo Jingchun felt much happier.
After breakfast, Mo Jingchun leisurely carried Candy to the classroom.
As soon as they reached the classroom, Li Xuanyu, who was originally sitting at her desk, was the first to come running over.
Yesterday, Candy had a fever and was drowsy, which really scared Li Xuanyu.
Li Xuanyu asked with a worried expression, "Mo Jingchun, is Candy okay?"
Hearing someone calling, Candy popped her head out of Mo Jingchunâs coat, her big eyes blinking repeatedly at Li Xuanyu.
Seeing that Li Xuanyu wasnât holding any treats, Candy shrank her little head back in.
Mo Jingchun shrugged, "You see, the little oneâs quite lively."
"It was just a cold yesterday, a slight fever."
"Following the doctorâs advice, after applying a cold patch, her temperature went down."
Seeing the little one was okay, Li Xuanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, others also gathered around. Almost everyone saw how Mo Jingchun rushed off yesterday.
Candy looked at the crowd surrounding her, feeling puzzled.
Candy: Whatâs going on here?
A bunch of bad guys, insisting on pinching Guoguoâs little cheeks, making Guoguo mad.
Facing all those big hands, Candy frowned, flailing her little hands, yet couldnât avoid the fate of having her cheeks pinched.
Resigned to reality, Candy looked utterly hopeless.
At the sound of the class bell, the little oneâs eyes lit up instantly.
The once annoying sound was now so delightful and wonderful.
For the whole day, Candy spent most of her time on Mo Jingchunâs lap, and unknowingly, she finished all the snacks in her little cross-body bag.
Candy opened the now-empty little cross-body bag and looked up at Mo Jingchun with longing eyes.
"Brother~ itâs all gone~"
Mo Jingchun put the empty little cross-body bag back on Candy, and said tenderly, "When we get back, big brother will fill it up for you, okay?"
Candy nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm~"
After class in the afternoon, Mo Jingchun took Candy back to the dormitory, refilled her little cross-body bag with snacks, and then headed back to the company.
"Hello, boss."
"Hello, boss."
"Mm, hello."
To employeesâ greetings, Mo Jingchun nodded with a smile; it felt quite clichĂ©d but genuinely enjoyable.
Sometimes, a manâs happiness is just so simple.
Passing by Li Wanningâs desk, Mo Jingchun tapped on her desk.
"Li Wanning, come to my office."
Li Wanning stood up and followed Mo Jingchun silently. No guesses were needed; Li Wanning knew it would be about the assignment to Huo County.
In fact, Mo Jingchun was looking for Li Wanning about the on-site supervision task.
"Li Wanning, are you getting used to being at the company?"
"Yes, Iâm used to it. My colleagues treat me well."
Mo Jingchun nodded while holding Candy, "Thatâs great to hear."
"Iâm not here to discuss much, just the matter of your on-site supervision in Huo County. I believe Xu Pengfei has discussed the other details with you, I have only one request to make."
"On construction sites, the quality of the project is crucial. I donât want the buildings I funded to become hazardous after a few years, with problems arising everywhere. So when youâre in Huo County, besides reporting the progress, take some time to learn about construction quality, so you can identify quality issues and prevent any safety hazards for the companyâs buildings."
"Understood, boss."
"Good, then, get back to work."
After Li Wanning left, Mo Jingchun reviewed the documents on his desk. If Li Wanning went on-site and merely reported progress mechanically without any initiative, Mo Jingchun wouldnât say much but would be somewhat disappointed.
To ensure quality, Mo Jingchun would definitely have a third-party supervisor step in, but would avoid it unless absolutely necessary, those who know, know.
In the evening, after dinner, Mo Jingchun surprisingly didnât read or code.
Mo Jingchun realized that rewriting everything on his own could take eternity.
With nice weather, Mo Jingchun took Candy for a stroll to the schoolâs sports field.
The sports field was crowded, with people running, walking, gathered in groups chatting, and some singing with speakers.
Brought to the running track for the first time, Candyâs little mouth hung open in amazement.
Soon enough, Candy was joyfully running around the vast soccer field.
Following behind Candy, Mo Jingchun would stop her every time she was about to run onto the plastic track.
With so many people running on the plastic track, a small figure like Candy could easily go unnoticed, with dire consequences.
"Brother~ brother~"
"Come and catch me, hehe;-) "
Each time Mo Jingchun caught her, Candy would giggle heartily and struggle mightily.
On the sports field, kids Candyâs age were rare. With her inherent charm, Candyâs joyful laughter captured the surrounding studentsâ attention even more.
Exhausted, Candy clung to Mo Jingchunâs leg, panting heavily.
Mo Jingchun wasnât much better off; donât assume running after short little legs is easy.
After taking deep breaths to adjust his breathing, Mo Jingchun sat down on the ground, hugging Candy in his arms.
Just then, Candy looked up at Mo Jingchun seriously and asked:
"Brother~ am I ugly?"
"Youâre very cute! So many brothers and sisters like you, how could you be ugly?"
The little one raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"Brother~ if Iâm not ugly, why do all the brothers and sisters say I look like you?"
Mo Jingchun: ???
My dear Candy, are you trying to hurt your brotherâs feelings?
Mo Jingchun was made insecure by Candyâs question, so he took out his phone, checking his unfiltered self in the camera, thinking he looked quite handsome.
