"Awoo~" Little Grey kept nuzzling against his little owner, seeking comfort.
Candy was about to burst into tears, her previously good mood shattered instantly.
"Wuwuwu~ Looks so painful."
Raising Little Grey with both hands, Candy felt even more sorrowful.
His headâs so swollen, it must hurt a lot, right?
Mo Jingchun, who was sitting nearby, put down the mouse, turned around in his chair, and said:
"It just looks a bit serious, but the vet said itâll be fine in a week."
The little one held Little Grey, looking at her brother doubtfully.
"Really? Brother?"
"But it looks pretty bad."
Mo Jingchun shrugged and said:
"Thatâs what the vet said."
However, in the next second, Mo Jingchun was dumbfounded.
In his astonished gaze, Candy, full of confusion, "lightly" pressed down on Little Greyâs swollen nose with her right index finger while Little Grey was completely defenseless.
"Awoo~ awo~ awo~ awo~"
In Candyâs arms, Little Grey wanted to escape the "scene of the crime" due to the pain, but was too weak to break free.
Candy was dumbfounded too.
All she did was press lightly, why such a big reaction?
The series of wails even caused Bun, who was grooming himself on the sofa, to pause and curiously watch with his head extended.
The world never lacks spectators, and cats especially love watching the commotion.
After a while, regaining his composure, Little Grey finally stopped whining, lying weakly in Candyâs arms, motionless.
The little one opened her mouth slightly, looking at her brother and asked:
"Brother, didnât you say... it was nothing?"
Itâs nothing serious, but it canât stand you messing with it like that! Mo Jingchunâs lips twitched uncontrollably.
Thatâs not how you pass the buck, Mo Jingchun thought, insisting this big iron pot of blame isnât his to carry.
"You pressed Little Greyâs wound, no wonder heâs hurting."
The little one thought for a moment, realizing that seems to be the case.
About ten minutes later, the previously quiet office was filled with Candyâs giggles.
Confused, Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin looked over curiously towards the sofa almost simultaneously.
Surprisingly, there was Candy with her phone, snapping pictures of Little Grey while laughing.
Gone was the sadness from earlier.
"Hahaha, Little Grey, you look so cute."
"I need to share this with Sis."
"And upload it to brotherâs short video, hehe."
In an abrupt turn of events, Little Grey found himself utterly perplexed.
Even Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin, drawn in by the laughter, were left momentarily stunned.
Did the little ship of friendship just tip over???
What happened to feeling sorry???
Mo Jingchun rubbed his chin, doubting if the little oneâs earlier sadness was just an act.
After all, children are natural-born actors.
After taking the beautiful photos, Little Grey was put aside by Candy, who then lounged happily on the sofa.
Judging by her smile, she was probably sending the photos to Zhou Yaling.
Sure enough, shortly after, Zhou Yaling opened a video call on WeChat.
Listening to Zhou Yaling and Candyâs schadenfreude-laden laughter, Mo Jingchun suddenly felt he might be more concerned about Little Grey.
After all, he was the one who took Little Grey to the pet hospital and never laughed at him.
At most, he just worried Little Grey might kick the bucket.
"Tsk tsk tsk, poor Little Grey, you better grow up quickly." Mo Jingchun shook his head and murmured softly.
In May, at around six oâclock, it still wasnât dark, though the sun had set, and the streetlights along the city roads had all been lit by half-past five.
In the car, sitting next to Candy, Mo Jingchun watched the little one deftly editing the video.
Music, text, and even transitions.
Throughout the journey, the little one repeatedly admired her edited video.
Mo Jingchun could only roll his eyes.
She could have just asked Zero to handle it in a few words, yet insists on doing it herself.
"Brother, do you think it looks good?"
Glancing at it casually, Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"Itâs good, and quite funny."
"Blah blah blah~ Brother, can you be any more perfunctory?"
"Oh~ it looks good."
The little one rolled her big eyes.
"Brother, youâre so boring."
"Hehe, watch me post it, surely itâll get lots of little red hearts."
As three white Audi cars stopped at the villa entrance, Mo Jingchun opened the car door and noticed the little one still giggling to herself, saying:
"What are you still thinking about? Weâre home."
"Huh? Iâm getting out, Iâm getting out."
Back home, as soon as she sat down, the little one started fretting again.
She posted the video, but then realized thereâs a new problem.
"Brother, Little Greyâs mouth is swollen, what will he eat tonight?"
"He wonât starve, will he?"
In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun heard this and walked to the door, saying while tying an apron:
"Itâs just swollen, it doesnât mean he canât drink milk."
"He drank milk at noon, a whole basin of it, and Little Grey didnât leave a drop."
With a snap, he turned on the gas stove and poured some soybean oil.
"Guoguo, did you ask Yaling when sheâs coming back?"
After a while with no response, Mo Jingchun glanced outside with a wok in hand and saw no trace of Little Candy in the living room.
Bun and Little Grey were gone too.
Mo Jingchun shook his head helplessly, "Why donât you believe me?"
"I told you Little Grey drinking milk is no problem at all."
"His dog tongue isnât swollen."
Mo Jingchunâs account has built-in traffic, and it didnât take long for the little oneâs video to get pushed to trending after an official reviewer saw it.
Netizens were amused by the pitiful Little Grey.
"Looks like it got stung by something, just not sure what it was."
"Hahaha, wild guess, the dog probably got stung while biting grass in the meadow."
"Iâm a Candy Technology employee, insider info, the dog got bitten by a snake."
"Envy the guy above, working at Candy Technology, unlike me, just a bottom feeder, often ridiculed by fellow readers, thinking Iâm too idle and always wanting to mail me local specialties."
Eating in the cafeteria, Zhou Yaling naturally saw the video while browsing short videos.
Remembering Little Greyâs silly mistake of getting bitten by a snake, Zhou Yaling couldnât help but laugh again.
Students around her all turned to look, making Zhou Yaling blush and quickly lower her head.
Oh my, so embarrassing.
Finishing her meal quickly, Zhou Yaling hastily left, feeling too embarrassed to stay.
Thinking about returning in a while, Zhou Yaling already had a beaming smile.
