Chapter 628: Chapter 628: The School Never Loses
Upon hearing this familiar sentence, Zhou Yaling knew that Candy had sold her out.
However... she dared to put the rice in such an obvious place, would she really be the type to care too much?
Calmly glancing at her elder brother, Zhou Yaling immediately greeted the sister-in-law beside him with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, welcome, welcome."
"Feeling hungry now? There’s one more vegetable dish, and then we can eat."
After spending the whole morning shopping, when Zhou Yaling mentioned it, Li Xuanyu touched her stomach and smiled, "I really am a bit."
Candy, stuck at the back unable to enter the kitchen, had her eyes light up upon hearing this. This was a golden opportunity.
While no one was paying attention, Candy quickly dashed back to the living room, and grabbed a banana from the fruit plate.
Feeling someone tugging at her clothes from behind, Li Xuanyu turned around and looked down, her face showing a hint of surprised delight.
"Xuanyu, have a banana."
Watching from the side, both Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling felt displeased. Why take only one?
"Thank you, Candy."
During the meal, Candy sat next to Li Xuanyu, taking the seat originally meant for Mo Jingchun.
Seeing Candy’s little provocative eyes at her brother, Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but chuckle.
No wonder her brother snuck out so quietly for a date in the morning, not wishing to bring Candy along at all.
With that provocation, and being someone who hates losing, where could they go and have a proper date without being bombarded by a thousand questions?
Smacking her lips in thought, if she were in her brother’s position, she wouldn’t want to bring a tagalong who could ask a thousand questions either while on a date.
"This smoked pork is so fragrant."
"I know, I know." Candy raised her little hand, answering eagerly, "All this smoked pork was brought back on a big green truck, it’s super fragrant."
Li Xuanyu chuckled while helping Candy with some food. She knew the origin of the smoked pork. To be precise, most people at Candy Technology knew, but unfortunately, the quantity was very limited.
After lunch, Li Xuanyu temporarily took over the spacious kitchen.
On learning that Li Xuanyu was going to make milk tea, such a great learning opportunity couldn’t be missed once the kitchen was taken over.
At school, she had watched such things on short videos, but unfortunately didn’t have the chance to try them, and over time, forgot about it.
Inside the deepest part of the kitchen, Candy stood on a chair, watching Xuanyu sister frying the tea leaves.
Initially, Candy furrowed her brow in confusion until pure milk was poured into the pot in batches, and she caught a whiff of the milk tea’s aroma.
It wasn’t particularly strong, but it smelled really nice.
A whole pot of milk tea, cooked over a long period, with impurities like tea leaves filtered out, resulted in a big fresh, fragrant pot of milk tea.
"It’s a pity we don’t have time. Otherwise, we could make some black jelly too."
Sitting at the dining table, with milk tea stains all around her mouth, Candy’s eyes sparkled.
"Xuanyu sister, you can come to my house every Saturday and Sunday from now on."
Holding a ceramic soup spoon while drinking milk tea, Mo Jingchun quietly watched Candy’s solo performance.
Inviting Li Xuanyu over was a pretense, clearly she wanted to have milk tea regularly.
After an afternoon nap, Candy rubbed her eyes and discovered that Xuanyu, who had slept with her, was no longer there.
"Brother, where did Xuanyu go?"
Wearing slippers and looking half-asleep, Candy tugged at her brother who was feeding fish.
"She left."
"Just ten minutes ago."
"Candy, do you think Little Red has grown fatter?"
Startled by the words, Candy quickly snapped awake. With a small fist, she delivered a punch to her brother while pulling at his clothes.
"Brother, Zero said the meat of red koi is not tasty at all."
"That’s truly a pity, wasting all that meat Little Red has grown."
Having said that, Mo Jingchun tossed all the corn kernels in his hand into the fish tank.
Clapping his hands, Mo Jingchun casually asked, "Weren’t you going to make lanterns? The whole day has gone by, still planning to play?"
"Hehe, what’s there to fear? There’s still a day left. With Zero’s guidance, making lanterns will be a piece of cake."
Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Don’t expect me or your sister to help, your teacher explicitly forbids it in the parent group."
"Your teachers said making handicrafts is to develop your manual skills, not to develop the skills of parents."
Listen to that, this is exactly how a kindergarten should be.
Kids should rely on their own skills rather than train them to depend on parents, which ultimately leads to spoiled children.
This couldn’t help but remind Mo Jingchun of his middle school days.
Back then, over ten people would share a dorm room.
At that time, he hadn’t yet been nicknamed the perennial second, and the class study monitor always ranked second.
The grades were excellent, but completely useless in living skills.
In winter, he could go a whole week without bathing, and would even study until lights out at night, going straight to bed without washing his feet.
Those smelly socks were stuffed right under his blanket.
The smell was simply indescribable.
Because of this, fights even broke out in the dorm room.
After graduating from middle school, he went on to study in the city.
Whereas Mo Jingchun declined the offer from City No.1 Middle School, choosing County No.1 Middle School instead.
After all, at that time for Mo Jingchun, County No.1 Middle School was the best choice.
Not to mention the free tuition, there was even a sum of money.
The final outcome was clear: Mo Jingchun perhaps benefited greatly, but the school lost nothing.
Candy waved her hand in front of her brother’s eyes, his eyes vacant and unresponsive for a long while.
The next second, Candy exclaimed in shock and dashed upstairs, loudly shouting:
"Oh no."
"Oh no."
"Brother has gone dumb."
Watching Candy’s short legs fly over the stairs like a turbocharged harrier, Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched.
Is it necessary to pretend like this just from spacing out?
Don’t think he doesn’t know when you daze off in class, little brother.
Soon enough, Zhou Yaling was dragged down by Candy, her face full of helplessness.
Zhou Yaling pointed to Mo Jingchun, leisurely watching TV and drinking who knows what on the sofa, and said:
"See?"
"In this world, anyone could go dumb, but your brother never will."
Speaking of which, Zhou Yaling remarked with emotion, "As you grow older, you’ll understand. Your brother is someone who would even refuse to accept a Nobel Prize. If he hadn’t gone into business, he’d probably be the youngest academician in history by now."
"Stop flattering me, I’m shy."
Zhou Yaling nodded, "Oh, so you’re shameless then."
Hearing this, Mo Jingchun’s face turned dark.
It’s either shameless or thick-skinned, what else could he say?
Eagerly changing the subject, Mo Jingchun said, "Next Tuesday, the project in Anyang County is breaking ground. I’ll have to attend, and I’ll probably be back in the evening. So you should go pick up Candy early after work and come back with Feiyan and the others."
