Chapter 292: Happiness Is Just That Simple

"Did it arrive so quickly?"

"Okay, just leave it there. I’ll open it myself in a bit."

You can’t let someone else take the joy of unboxing a package, can you?

Even though you already know what’s inside, there’s still a sense of anticipation.

It’s like opening a mystery box.

Feiyan nodded and gently placed the large package in her hand on the ground, then turned and left.

As Feiyan walked out the door, Candy came forward and curiously peered at it.

Unfortunately, there were so many words on the delivery slip that she didn’t recognize.

"Brother, what’s inside?"

"Your new toy."

Upon hearing this, Candy’s eyes lit up.

A new toy?

Such a big toy, this is amazing.

I wonder what it is.

Candy bounced around and said, "Brother, brother, let’s open the package."

Mo Jingchun brought a fruit knife back from the kitchen and warned, "Guoguo, step back a bit, or you might accidentally cut your pretty little cheek."

The little one obediently stepped back more than a meter away.

It wasn’t that the little one was really scared by Mo Jingchun, but that she knew the fruit knife was indeed dangerous.

With two gentle cuts, the tape was peeled open.

While her brother went to return the fruit knife to the kitchen, Candy quickly opened the package.

A pink balance bike!

More precisely, it’s cherry pink.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow!"

Mo Jingchun took two sheets of paper to wipe off the water and asked with a smile:

"Do you like it?"

"Mm-hmm!" Her little head bobbed up and down like a chick pecking at rice.

Mo Jingchun stepped forward to help remove the last layer of protective film and said:

"Give it a try, it might be a tad high."

"No, it’s not."

In the next moment, Candy was on the balance bike, gripping the handlebars tightly, and her legs pedaled vigorously as if they had engines.

"5~5~5~"

"Beep, beep, beep~"

Seeing Candy so happy, Mo Jingchun was also in a great mood.

"Go a bit slower, don’t crash."

This balance bike has no pedals or brakes.

All the propulsion and stopping rely on the legs.

Power consumption per kilometer is a bowl of white rice.

After playing for a few minutes, Candy was no longer satisfied with the small living room.

Such a small living room was hindering her from showing her full potential.

"Brother, I’m going outside."

Before Mo Jingchun could say anything, the little one had already scooted out on the balance bike.

Mo Jingchun shook his head and called out, "Feiyan, keep an eye on her, don’t let Guoguo run out of the villa area."

In the villa area, half the houses belonged to him, and there weren’t many permanent residents in the other three.

Usually, there are no cars in this area.

And with Feiyan and the professional bodyguards watching, Mo Jingchun felt assured.

Mo Jingchun replaced the cold water in the washbasin with hot water again.

It seemed like after changing the water a few more times, it would be enough.

At noon, Mo Jingchun simply made three dishes and a soup.

"Zero, call Guoguo back for lunch."

"Playing for so long, doesn’t she fear getting tired?"

Mo Jingchun shook his head, thinking that if it were him, his legs would be sore tomorrow.

"Got it, boss."

——————

"Beep, beep, beep~ The seasoned driver is back~"

Candy, wearing a little helmet, rode the balance bike in and casually leaned it against the wall.

Mo Jingchun looked at his sister, who was sweating profusely, and felt a bit embarrassed.

In such cold weather, she was sweating all over yet still looked so energetic.

Are kids really not afraid of getting tired?

"Don’t take off your clothes."

Seeing his sister starting to undress, Mo Jingchun swiftly intervened to stop her.

Mo Jingchun glared at his sister and sternly said,

"Taking off your clothes now will get you a cold."

"Does Guoguo want to go to the hospital for a shot?"

A shot???

Seemingly recalling something dreadful, the little one shook her head vigorously.

"No!"

"Guoguo, keep your clothes on."

Mo Jingchun nodded, "That’s more like it."

"You’ll feel less hot in a while."

After playing wildly for more than an hour, the little one actually got tired.

After lunch, the little one ran upstairs and went to bed alone.

Seeing his sister already asleep, even covering herself with a quilt, Mo Jingchun tiptoed to close the door.

Checking into it, Mo Jingchun was surprised to learn.

Children play wildly without feeling tired because they are full of curiosity about the outside world and eager to explore. Doing what they love, of course, they don’t feel tired.

Moreover, babies focus all their attention on what they’re doing, ignoring physical sensations.

Experts have also studied this issue and found that children use inefficient aerobic metabolism during exercise, so they don’t easily get tired during intensive activities, and they recover faster than professional athletes, with anti-fatigue abilities comparable to triathletes.

Reading this article, Mo Jingchun shrugged.

Well, what can we do with kids’ superpower abilities?

Candy had a dream where the whole world was pink, and there were endless malt candies to eat.

It was such happiness.

Hey? Hey? Hey? Where’s my malt candy?

Candy woke up, looking baffled.

Where’s my room full of malt candy? How come it’s all gone?

Huh? Why is it dark outside?

The little one sat dazed on the bed for a while and suddenly realized.

"Oh no! My malt candy."

The little one slipped off the bed, wearing her brother’s large size 42 slippers, and ran out.

"Brother, brother, wait for Guoguo a moment!"

One minute later...

Their eyes met, big eyes staring into small ones.

"What’s up with the fuss?" Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow.

"Where’s the malt candy?"

"Here! It’s still cooking."

"Just wait, it should be ready in another twenty minutes."

The little one pouted, "Oh, alright."

"Brother, why didn’t you call Guoguo along?"

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes at his sister and said:

"I did call you, you can ask Zero."

"It’s a pity a certain cute little one was sleeping too soundly."

"So much so that I couldn’t wake her despite calling for ages."

The little one blinked in disbelief.

Half an hour later, Mo Jingchun dipped a chopstick into the malt candy to taste it.

"Is it good, brother?" Candy looked at her brother with eager eyes and swallowed hard.

Seeing his little foodie of a sister, Mo Jingchun pretended to frown.

"It’s not good, seems like it failed."

"Guoguo wants to taste, Guoguo wants to taste."

Mo Jingchun suppressed a smile and, seeing his sister getting anxious, dipped a little with the chopstick and handed it over.

Once the chopstick entered her mouth, the little one’s eyes widened.

"Mmm! Brother, it’s so delicious."

"But why is it different from what Xiang’Er gave me?"

Mo Jingchun placed the bowl on the dining table and said with a smile:

"Wait until tomorrow when it solidifies, we’ll roll them into strands of malt candy, dust them with cornflour, and then it’ll be the same."

Reluctant to put down the chopstick, Candy nodded her head in semi-understanding.
