Chapter 463: The Story Begins with a Lollipop

Lying comfortably on the desk, Bun was purring contently as he felt his fur being stroked.

The little one was happily raising her right hand.

She now had a silver bracelet too!

"Sister, does it look good?"

"It looks great."

"Hahaha, I also think it looks great."

Many girls in the class had silver bracelets.

Xiang’Er had one too.

Seeing others have them, how could she not be envious?

Seeing Candy’s face full of smiles, Zhou Yaling also fell into deep thought.

What went wrong that no one bought Candy a silver bracelet these years?

This thing isn’t even expensive.

Yet her brother didn’t think about it, nor did she.

If aunt were alive, the little one might have had a silver bracelet during her first birthday celebration, right?

Lost in her thoughts, Zhou Yaling didn’t even realize when the little one had already run off.

Little Grey was gone too.

Only Bun was still purring contentedly on the desk.

It seemed because she stopped petting, Bun let out a discontented meow.

"Meow~~~"

Setting aside the signed documents, Mo Jingchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This year, being a boss is also quite tiring.

"Brother, brother~"

The voice came before the person did.

What could make Candy so happy that even Mo Jingchun looked up curiously at the door, and so did Xia Xiaomin, who was closer to the door.

The next second, huh... Little Grey dashed in first...

After another call of brother, the little one finally appeared at the door.

She raised her right hand high, as if she was exclaiming ’Hooray’.

"What’s got you in such a hurry?"

"Brother, look!"

"I see, I see." Mo Jingchun twitched his lips as it was almost shoved into his eyes.

"Did your sister Su Wenyan give it to you?"

Candy nodded happily, her eyes shining like little stars. "Uh-huh."

"Does it look good?"

"Good."

"Hehe, Guoguo also thinks it looks very nice."

Looking at the bracelet, Mo Jingchun, like Zhou Yaling, also realized something.

Mo Jingchun smiled and pinched his sister’s cheek, "Brother will also buy you a silver bracelet, okay?"

The little one asked with her face full of surprise, "Really?"

"Of course."

"Then let’s pinky swear."

"Okay."

Big hand hooks little hand, the two exchanged a look and said with a smile:

"Pinky swear, hang it up, no changes for a hundred years!"

That evening, the little one received another silver bracelet.

Plus, a set of chopsticks and a bowl.

Gold, real gold!

Trailing behind, Zhou Yaling was full of envy.

Not to mention a golden rice bowl, she hadn’t even received an iron one.

She couldn’t even pass the exams on her own.

Tough situation.

————————————

July rains always come unannounced.

One moment it’s clear skies, the next it could be pouring.

It might even just be a local shower.

With an umbrella in hand, following the navigation, she finally saw the gate of Candy Science and Technology Park.

Looking at the roadside convenience store, Wei Luxue made up her mind and walked over.

Since I’m here, there’s no turning back.

"Boss, how much is a lollipop?"

"Alps lollipop is two yuan each." The boss was an old man missing his front teeth.

Lounging on a deck chair, holding a fan.

That’s what you call leisure.

Two yuan each... Wei Luxue’s face looked a bit unnatural.

Shameless businessman, they were clearly one yuan each, at most overpriced by fifty cents.

"Want it or not?"

"Want!"

"Give me ten... no! Twenty!"

"Alright!" The old man’s eyes lit up, turned out she’s a big customer, thought she was just buying one lollipop.

Should’ve said so earlier.

"Twenty of them, take them, they total forty."

WeChat payment of forty yuan.

Hearing the phone notification, the old man grinned widely, showing the gap where his teeth were missing.

Looking at the three-digit balance in her WeChat wallet, Wei Luxue blinked.

0.66.

Not bad, it’s a lucky number.

Hope things go smoothly like this number from now on!

Otherwise... she really might have to ask her family for help.

That would be embarrassing.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Luxue pushed her suitcase and continued to walk in the rain.

She wondered if Na had called Mo Jingchun.

It was worrying her to death.

Impulsively, weren’t you, Wei Luxue.

With your high spirits, now you’re hitting a low in life.

This is what impulsiveness gets you.

At the entrance of Candy Science and Technology Park, the security personnel looked strangely at the girl dragging the suitcase who suddenly slapped herself.

What’s going on?

On the other side, Mo Jingchun just finished a call with Na and was a bit surprised.

What happened, why did Senior Sister run to his place?

What did Na mean by "it’s a long story"?

Looking at the rain outside, Mo Jingchun didn’t delay, he got up and went out.

Candy, who was watching cartoons, silently followed her brother as he left.

In the elevator.

"I’m just going to the gate, why’re you coming along, weren’t you watching cartoons?"

"Following to play."

Mo Jingchun was speechless.

Waiting at the gate, Wei Luxue received a message from Na, finally relieved.

"When you get to your junior’s place, tone down your temper."

"And try to persuade your junior to study for a master’s with you."

"Uh-huh, thank you, Na." After replying, Wei Luxue finally calmed down a bit.

A few minutes later, holding an umbrella and holding Candy, Mo Jingchun looked around at the South Gate.

"Where?"

"Have you seen a girl?"

The security officer pointed to the wall, uncertainly saying:

"Boss, are you talking about that child?"

What child, Mo Jingchun was full of question marks.

But following the direction pointing, Mo Jingchun fell silent.

Senior Sister, four years ago you were that short, I could understand, after all, you were just fourteen.

But now you’re eighteen, and it seems you haven’t grown much taller.

One point five two, not a bit more.

"Senior Sister, let’s head inside, it’s raining quite heavily outside." Mo Jingchun said with a smile.

"Ah, wait."

Under Mo Jingchun’s puzzled gaze, Wei Luxue took a lollipop from her pocket.

No mistake, just a lollipop.

"Candy, big sister has candy for you." Wei Luxue said with a cheerful smile at the cute kid.

The little one glanced at her brother before accepting the lollipop.

At that moment, it was as if time had turned back, back to four years ago.

The same scene instantly appeared in Mo Jingchun’s mind.

In the office, after taking a sip of hot tea, Wei Luxue felt much warmer.

"Senior Sister, what’s going on, Na said you fell out with your mentor?"

"Ahem, better call me Wei Luxue, Senior Sister sounds weird."

Mo Jingchun’s lips slightly curled, not refusing.

As long as the school sends Wei Luxue an acceptance letter, he’ll be her graduate advisor.

A prodigy at my door, trying to escape? No way.

This one here is a real genius, unlike him, just an amateur.
