Chapter 141: Candy: Is Guoguo Graduating from College?

Seeing Mo Jingchun, Candy, who was already feeling wronged, instantly released all her grievances.

Candy rushed towards Mo Jingchun, hugging his leg and crying continuously in distress.

Mo Jingchun picked up Candy, and her little feet dangled in the air.

"What happened, Candy? Tell your brother, who bullied my little Candy?"

On the courtyard wall, Bun, who was previously gloating and licking his fur, panicked upon hearing Candy’s cries and Mo Jingchun’s questioning.

Bun, now anxious, paced back and forth on the wall, his sleek orange fur reflecting slightly in the sunlight.

"555~ Brother, Bun stole the pudding you bought for Guoguo."

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved Candy felt. It was pudding! The pudding that brother usually wouldn’t buy for Guoguo.

Guoguo hadn’t even tasted it yet, that stinky Bun, that bad Bun.

"Bun, come to me, will you?"

In the yard, a person and a cat stared each other down motionlessly, with Bun wanting to escape but not daring to.

If he ran, he feared he would become a stray.

"Bun, get down here, did you hear me?"

"Meow Meow Meow~"

Shrinking his head, Bun, like a warrior who would never return, jumped down from the wall.

Mo Jingchun lifted the hefty Bun with one hand, meeting Candy’s gaze as he held her.

"You, a cat, eating pudding?"

"And with all this fat on you, if this continues, you’ll sooner or later huff your last."

"Orange cats are supposed to be heavy, but Bun, your weight is seriously over the limit."

"Without permission, don’t get on the table again, understand?"

"It’s okay if you don’t understand, but if you get on the table again, I’ll break your fifth leg."

Once Mo Jingchun let go of Bun, Bun scurried off to the cat bed, looking warily at the fierce Mo Jingchun.

Humans were terrifying, even daring to threaten Bun’s manhood.

Looking at his still-sobbing little sister, Mo Jingchun said to Mrs. Chen next to him:

"Mrs. Chen, when you go shopping tomorrow, please buy a bottle of pudding for Candy."

Chen Haixia nodded with a smile and replied, "Alright, Mr. Mo."

Candy in Mo Jingchun’s arms stopped crying after hearing that her brother asked Aunt Chen to buy pudding tomorrow. But her small body was still trembling slightly, her little face pressed tightly against Mo Jingchun’s chest.

"Alright, alright."

"Bun didn’t do it on purpose, right?"

Gently patting Candy’s back, Mo Jingchun comforted in a soft voice.

"Mm-hmm." Candy sniffed once and nodded.

The next day, after finally getting to eat the long-anticipated pudding, Candy completely forgave Bun and was no longer mad at him.

"Bun, here’s some for you."

At the dining table, Candy scooped a piece of meat with a spoon and gave it to Bun, who was lying under the dining table.

When it comes to food, Bun never refuses, especially when it’s savory and tempting pieces of meat.

After eating the meat, Bun even walked over to Candy’s feet, brushing his fur against Candy’s little leg.

"Hee-hee-hee~"

Barefoot, Candy laughed like a goose as Bun’s fur tickled her.

"Bun, that’s ticklish."

Seeing Candy and Bun reconciled and friendly again, Mo Jingchun, who was having dinner, smiled slightly.

At night, after Mo Jingchun coaxed Candy to sleep, he stayed alone in the study, making final preparations and checks for tomorrow’s graduation defense.

Mo Jingchun was very confident about the topic for this graduation defense, given his deep familiarity with artificial intelligence.

It wasn’t until after ten at night, after checking multiple times and finding no errors, that Mo Jingchun turned off the study lights and went to bed to rest.

He needed to sleep early tonight to be energized for the defense tomorrow; falling asleep during the defense would be quite embarrassing.

After a good night’s sleep, Mo Jingchun woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.

"Candy, time to get up."

"Today, you’re joining your brother for the graduation defense."

In bed, Candy, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and got up with her eyes closed.

Because Mo Jingchun was the only one having an early graduation defense, it wasn’t arranged in a large classroom but in the academy’s conference room.

After all, a quiet environment was needed for the defense.

Since the students weren’t on vacation yet and classes were still ongoing, arranging the defense in a large classroom was not only inconvenient but ensuring nobody used it all morning was unlikely.

When Mo Jingchun arrived at the conference room door with his laptop and Candy in tow, Advisor Na was already standing in the hallway.

When Li Na saw Mo Jingchun arrive, she strode forward.

"Including your teacher, Academician Chen Xihuo, there will be three academicians today. During the defense, make sure you don’t argue with the defense teachers, alright?"

"Also, the key to the defense is humility; don’t bicker unless necessary."

Listening to the advisor rambling on as if lecturing a child, Mo Jingchun smiled and nodded.

Li Na took Candy’s little hand and said to Mo Jingchun, "Go on. Don’t keep the defense teachers waiting."

Mo Jingchun nodded and said, "Okay."

The conference room door was open. As Mo Jingchun stepped inside, he realized there were even more defense teachers present than he had anticipated.

With a quick glance, Mo Jingchun estimated that there were at least twenty individuals.

Among them was the familiar face of Academician Chen Xihuo, as well as teachers from his first and second-year courses.

"Good morning, teachers."

Wearing reading glasses, Chen Xihuo smiled at Mo Jingchun and said, "Don’t be nervous; they’re just here for the spectacle."

————

After the defense, the teachers who originally came just to join the crowd all fell into deep thought. It’s undeniable that Mo Jingchun’s presentation on the implementation of artificial intelligence was truly eye-opening.

Currently, research on artificial intelligence in various countries has hit a bottleneck, making further breakthroughs as difficult as ascending to the sky.

What’s called artificial intelligence is essentially just big data processing.

Such "artificial intelligence" isn’t what researchers desire; more accurately, today’s artificial intelligence is a product of human compromise.

"Mo Jingchun, I look forward to the day when humanity truly achieves artificial intelligence, one that can serve mankind!"

Seeing Academician Chen Xihuo’s serious expression, Mo Jingchun was momentarily stunned, then nodded.

"We will, teacher. Humanity will definitely develop true artificial intelligence!"

"Alright, you take Candy home first. We need to discuss your defense results."

After Mo Jingchun left the conference room, Chen Xihuo immediately boasted to the two elderly professors beside him, "Hey, my student is somewhat lacking."

"This is as good as it gets."
