Chapter 304: Candy Questioning Life (Second Update)

In the lobby on the first floor of the laboratory building, Wild Wolf and the others saw Lone Wolf coming down from the lab, and immediately got up and surrounded him.

"How did it go?"

"Are you alright?"

"Did something unexpected happen?"

Seeing Lone Wolf’s expressionless face, everyone stepped forward to inquire.

"Did it fail? Actually, failure is quite normal in experiments; after a few more tries, you’ll naturally succeed."

Who would have thought the next second, Lone Wolf’s lips slightly curled upwards, grabbing Xiaofeixia’s hand on his shoulder firmly with his bionic arm.

Xiaofeixia’s eyes widened instantly, half out of surprise, half out of actual pain.

He felt as if his hand was caught in a vice.

Lone Wolf chuckled and said to Xiaofeixia, "Wanna go outside and have a spar?"

"My arm’s got a buff, you know! Wanna see for yourself?"

"Here goes!"

Outside the laboratory building, Wild Wolf and the others watched Xiaofeixia being beaten back step by step by Lone Wolf, looking serious.

Before Lone Wolf’s incident, the two had sparred before.

Though Xiaofeixia would’ve lost in close combat back then, it definitely wasn’t as one-sided as now, being beaten down without any chance to fight back.

Moreover...

Lone Wolf’s bionic arm was indeed a weapon of sorts.

Pitting flesh against hard mechanical metal, that’s just asking for trouble.

"That’s enough, no need to keep fighting."

As soon as Wild Wolf finished speaking, the two separated.

Xiaofeixia shook his arm, wincing in pain.

In the dormitory, Xiang’Er’s grandmother was not around, possibly cleaning somewhere.

Candy put down a basin, took a large bag of fruit her brother bought from Feiyan, and gave it to Xiang’Er.

Then she pulled Xiang’Er to the kindergarten to play on the slide.

When the two little ones arrived at the kindergarten, there were already many kids playing inside.

Seeing the slide crowded, Candy pouted and turned to Xiang’Er:

"Xiang’Er, let’s ride the toys instead."

"Riding toys is more fun."

Truthfully, Xiang’Er wanted to play with the balance bike too.

Xiang’Er blinked and whispered back, "Okay."

"You go first, Xiang’Er."

"Balance bikes are really simple, just keep pedaling."

"Yeah, but the brakes kind of hurt my feet."

Not far away, Feiyan nearly burst out laughing hearing Candy complaining about foot pain.

Riding so fast every day, using her foot to brake, even the shop owner complained a few times about shoe quality these days.

With so much friction, of course they get warm!

Watching the two little ones take turns and grin from ear to ear, Feiyan was incredibly envious.

Unlike her, whose brother often made her furious; once angry, she would chase him around, never holding back.

And back then, they didn’t have any toys to play with.

At most, it was jumping rope or hand games...

Watching the kindergarten kids get picked up for meals, Xiang’Er bit her lip and suggested to Candy:

"Candy, let’s go back to the dormitory."

"Grandma doesn’t know I’m out playing, and now it’s noon."

"Grandma will surely worry if she comes back and can’t find me."

Candy scratched her head, thinking Xiang’Er’s reasoning seemed sensible.

"Alright then, let’s head back for now."

"I wonder if my brother is done with work."

"If not, Guoguo can play with Xiang’Er in the afternoon."

As soon as they returned to the dormitory, Xiang’Er noticed her grandma wasn’t back yet and breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Candy’s smartwatch rang.

"Guoguo, time to go home."

It was her brother’s voice, and Candy pouted.

"Okay~ got it."

"I’ll be down in a bit."

"Alright, your brother’s waiting for you downstairs."

Candy sighed, spread her small hands, and said helplessly:

"Xiang’Er, I have to go home now."

"Looks like I can’t play with you this afternoon."

Thinking for a moment, Candy took her beloved balance bike from Feiyan and placed it beside Xiang’Er.

"Hmm~ my brother won’t let Guoguo ride it at home, so you can borrow it for now."

"Let’s go, let’s go."

Leaving the balance bike, Candy grabbed Feiyan and ran off.

In the elevator, Feiyan watched the smart Candy, sighing.

Truly the boss’s little sister, so young yet understanding, so intent on making friends.

By the time they reached downstairs, three white Audi cars were already parked at the entrance.

Releasing Feiyan’s hand, Candy ran straight to the middle car.

"Brother, open the door quickly." Candy hit the door, quite annoyed.

Didn’t her brother see his adorable sister coming? Not even opening the door automatically, hmph!

(´◔‸◔`)

Mo Jingchun fastened her seatbelt with a smile and said to Xiaofeixia:

"To the market, the landlord’s storehouse is empty."

Candy, who had been pretending to sulk, curiously asked:

"Brother, which family is the landlord’s?"

Candy’s sudden question made everyone burst into laughter.

With a puzzled face, Candy watched the adults laugh heartily, truly bewildered.

Wasn’t it just a question? What was so funny?

In kindergarten, the teacher encouraged her to ask more questions!

Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Uh... it’s a bit tricky to explain now. When you’re a bit older, you’ll understand."

"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮ You always say that when I grow up, I’ll understand."

"But how much older do I have to be?"

"I’ll be in senior kindergarten next year!"

Mo Jingchun coughed lightly, laughing:

"Once you’re in primary and middle school, you’ll gradually get it."

Primary school! The little one frowned in distress.

That’s a long way off.

In the market, looking at the fruit in front of her, Candy stood still.

Looking back, Mo Jingchun followed Candy’s gaze... it was the one fruit he couldn’t stomach: durian!

"Guoguo, this isn’t tasty, let’s buy other fruits."

"No way, this fruit looks curious, and Guoguo hasn’t tasted it."

"Durian smells awful."

At that moment, the fruit store owner jumped in with a smile:

"Kid, let your brother buy one; it’s not expensive, only fifty-one yuan a pound now."

Candy tugged at her brother’s shirt, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Mo Jingchun knew he’d play the fool today for sure.

"A total of 563 yuan, I’ll take 560 from you."

Back home, the little one couldn’t wait for her brother to open the fruit.

If not for her sore hands, she might have tried it herself.

Mo Jingchun, who’d never bought durian, struggled mightily but finally managed to pry it open.

Holding his nose, Mo Jingchun handed a piece of durian to his sister.

"Here."

Smelling it, Candy frowned but carefully accepted the durian flesh.

Under her brother’s watch, she took a small bite.

Ugh~

Ugh~

Ugh~

Suddenly, Candy questioned reality a bit, was this really edible...

Seeing his sister’s changing expression, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but swallow.

That eager look, that disbelief, that silent plea to the heavens.

He figured his sister wouldn’t be trying durian again anytime soon.
