Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Playing with Fire and Wetting the Bed
Watching Candy sneakily peering from the courtyard gate with her little behind sticking out, the on-duty Xiaofeixia and Feiyan exchanged a knowing smile.
This kid just can’t seem to stay idle. Whenever she gets bored, she starts scheming. Little Grey has fallen victim to Candy’s tricks more times than anyone can count, yet Little Grey never learns and keeps getting fooled.
Using a magnifying glass to burn Little Grey’s behind—only Candy could think of that.
"Come over here, tell me why Little Grey was yelping,"
Candy, who had hidden the magnifying glass long ago, innocently said, "Little Grey was sleeping behind me. I didn’t see him and accidentally stepped on his tail."
Mo Jingchun frowned, was it really that simple? Something felt off, but there was no evidence.
Although saying that brothers can hit sisters is, in some sense, normal, it’s not right to do it without a reason.
"Alright, I give up. I’ll take you shopping this afternoon, just behave yourself and be a good kid."
Candy nodded vigorously, "Brother, I’m very good."
"Pfft~"
Feiyan couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Seeing her brother go back inside, Candy signaled Xiaofeixia and Feiyan to keep quiet with a ’shush’ gesture, whispering, "It’s a secret~"
"This is our little secret."
Apart from her appearance, Candy’s personality and actions are really like a little boy’s.
Mischievous, loves to make trouble, and the toys she plays with are all the kind boys love.
Within just about ten minutes, Candy was in trouble again, and this time it was big trouble.
Watching the smoke and soot rise, Hawkeye was stunned for a second.
The next moment, Hawkeye shouted loudly, waving his hand, "Put out the fire, quickly put out the fire!"
Even without Hawkeye’s prompt, Feiyan and Xiaofeixia had already smelled the unpleasant odor of burning plastic.
Just as they dashed into the courtyard, White had already run out from the house carrying a bucket of drinking water, extinguishing the fire in an instant.
Even after the fire was out, Candy stood still, clearly frightened by the situation she had never seen before.
Just moments ago, Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling were bewilderedly watching as White, who was quietly standing by, suddenly hoisted the water bucket from the dispenser and charged out as if a thief running with their spoils.
Was White a thief? Obviously not!
Even if it was a thief, which thief would steal a water bucket in broad daylight?
Realizing something was amiss, Mo Jingchun quickly stood up, following White outside. Zhou Yaling followed closely behind.
Seeing the foam box Zhou Yaling used for planting vegetables half-burnt, Mo Jingchun gasped.
With so much dry grass in the garden, it’s fortunate the fire was put out in time and didn’t spread. Otherwise, who knows what might’ve happened.
If they were careless, damn, the whole villa could have been destroyed.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Jingchun dragged Candy away.
This time, nobody intervened.
Zhou Yaling watched the foam box, feeling a lingering fear.
"How did it catch fire?"
Feiyan smiled wryly, "It was the magnifying glass. Candy used the magnifying glass to start the fire."
None of them had anticipated that Candy’s imagination would be so bold, let alone the courage she had.
Thank goodness for White!
In the living room, Candy, having recovered from the shock, was punished with standing, and her little behind received a couple of hits from a slipper.
Knowing she was in big trouble, Candy was surprisingly silent. Being quiet was wise; her brother was angry, and talking would only make him angrier—she knew that from experience.
Mo Jingchun raised the magnifying glass in his hand, lamenting, "You managed to find the magnifying glass I hid in the drawer. You’re really something."
Seeing the magnifying glass, Little Grey immediately hid under the table. Mo Jingchun finally understood; Little Grey’s earlier yelping must have been due to Candy’s antics with the magnifying glass.
"Do you realize you almost burned the house down?"
"Didn’t I tell you kids shouldn’t play with fire?"
"But brother, I wasn’t playing with fire..." Candy whispered.
"Stand up straight!"
Candy instantly straightened her back.
"Stand there properly, and when you realize your mistake, we’ll talk. Forget about shopping this afternoon."
"Zero, show her the consequences of fire disasters."
"Give Candy a real education about fire dangers."
"Haha, alright, boss, leave it to me."
After tidying up her small vegetable patch, Zhou Yaling glanced at Candy, who was standing as punishment, and quietly sat on the sofa.
It’s not just Candy; even she was scared half to death.
"Big brother, if it weren’t for White, the villa might have burned down."
Mo Jingchun, half over his anger, sighed deeply, "It wouldn’t have, the outer layer of the villa is made with special materials. We considered scenarios like a potential fire attack during construction."
"Besides, with Lone Wolf and the others here, even if a fire started, it wouldn’t get big."
Talking about it made Mo Jingchun angry again, his teeth itching with irritation.
"I wondered why White was running out with a water bucket—it turns out Zero noticed the situation right away."
After being thoroughly scolded, the little one was noticeably more well-behaved at lunch.
Seeing her staying silent, Mo Jingchun started worrying if he was too harsh with his words earlier.
By the afternoon, Mo Jingchun realized he was overthinking. The girl was happily playing games with Zhou Yaling.
At night, Mo Jingchun told Candy to sleep early and went upstairs for a bath and went to sleep.
After what happened that day, Candy didn’t stay up late learning with her sister and went to bed early.
In the deep silence of the night, a yawning Lone Wolf was on a late-night shift.
In her dream, Candy turned her lips. The next second...
"Meow~"
Bun almost tumbled out from under the covers, rolling away.
At this moment, Candy slowly opened her eyes.
The little one reached out to feel.
"Wah wah wah~"
"Wah wah wah~"
The room lights turned on, but Candy continued to cry.
The big kid in the class had bedwetting issues, and if this news got out, it would be devastating for her as the class monitor.
"Wah wah wah~"
Startled by Candy’s crying in her sleep, Zhou Yaling woke up immediately, jumping out of bed to rush over.
A few seconds later, Zhou Yaling opened the door and saw Candy, relieved to see it was just a bedwetting accident.
But seeing Zhou Yaling’s relieved expression, Candy cried even harder.
At that moment, Mo Jingchun entered the room with one slipper on.
Being woken up by Zero in the middle of the night, thinking it was a major event, Mo Jingchun was startled.
Thankfully, it was just Candy wetting the bed.
Although three years had passed, Candy bedwetting was indeed a big deal...
"Kids who play with fire wet the bed, so will you play with fire again?"
"Wah wah wah~ No more."
"Wah wah wah, brother, you can’t tell anyone I wet the bed."
