Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Big Sister, Is That You?
"The most frequent thing he said was that you are a genius."
Seeing Mo Jingchun arriving alone, Li Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, "Why didn’t you bring Candy along?"
"The teacher really likes Candy. I can tell, the teacher treats Candy as if she were his granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun felt the cup in his hand becoming a bit too hot to hold.
"Candy hadn’t finished school by the time I left."
"If possible, let that little one come and see the teacher one last time."
Mo Jingchun nodded, said nothing, and stood up to walk out alone.
A call came in during the late night, startling Zhou Yaling.
Seeing it was a call from her elder brother, Zhou Yaling breathed a sigh of relief and answered the phone.
As soon as she spoke, Zhou Yaling complained, "Brother, do you have any idea how frightening it is to get a call in the middle of the night?"
"Even telemarketing calls don’t break the rule of not calling at night."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before her brother’s deep voice came through.
"Get up, take Candy, Wild Wolf and they are already waiting with the car outside the yard."
"Don’t ask questions and don’t talk, just follow them directly to Jing City."
Looking at the disconnected call, Zhou Yaling frowned. She hurried when leaving in the afternoon and now it’s also abrupt.
But Zhou Yaling knew when her brother was serious, it was best to do as he said.
The first moment she jumped out of bed, Zhou Yaling didn’t even have time to change clothes, she first woke up Candy, who was snoring while hugging Bun with her bum in the air.
"Candy, Candy~"
"Wake up."
Candy opened her eyes and muttered sleepily, "Is it daybreak already? I don’t feel like I’ve slept well."
As she spoke, Candy yawned and squinted her eyes shut again.
"Quickly wake up and get dressed, your brother asked me to take you to Jing City."
Candy shifted her position and said, "Sister is lying, there’s school tomorrow, my brother wouldn’t let me wander around."
After a bit of fuss, the little one was fully awakened by Zhou Yaling.
Out the door, Candy looked up at the bright moonlight and the star-filled sky, opened her mouth, and turned to go back inside.
But the door was already closed by Zhou Yaling.
"Quick, get in the car!"
Candy pointed at the moon in the sky, then raised her left hand, seriously said, "Sister, you woke me up in the middle of the night, I thought it was daytime."
"No wonder I didn’t sleep well, turns out it’s true!"
Already receiving multiple texts from her elder brother urging her, Zhou Yaling said nothing, just dragged Candy straight into the car.
"Waking you up in the middle of the night, naturally, I have my reasons."
Handing a blanket to Candy, Zhou Yaling glanced over and said, "Now you can continue to sleep."
"I’ll wake you when we arrive."
Covered with a blanket, Candy rolled her eyes dramatically.
Now she’s quite awake, how could she possibly sleep?
"Sister, why did brother want us to go to Jing City in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Yaling shook her head and said, "I don’t know either, your sister was sleeping too, your brother woke me up with a call."
In the morning, a commercial flight entered the airspace of Jing City, about to land.
After getting some sleep, Candy gazed out the window at the white clouds and the golden sunlight, her eyes filled with a thirst for exploration.
Candy thought to herself, such beautiful scenery, if Xiang’Er were here, she would surely be able to paint a very beautiful picture.
"Sister, what about the class teacher if I don’t go to school today?"
Rubbing her sore eyes, Zhou Yaling said listlessly, "That’s not something you need to worry about, don’t worry, someone will take care of it for you."
In the hospital, Mo Jingchun, napping on a chair, was awakened by noisy sounds.
When Mo Jingchun opened his eyes, he found the lounge filled with people he didn’t realize had come. He recognized a few people, having met them a few times at an unknown research base.
There were also a few younger people who were probably the teacher’s former grad students.
Just as Mo Jingchun was about to greet them and splash his face with cold water for a refreshing wake-up, Li Qianqian came in from outside holding breakfast.
After handing the breakfast to Mo Jingchun, Li Qianqian said, "The person who came with you yesterday has already left."
Mo Jingchun nodded. With so many people around, he didn’t say much.
After splashing some cold water on his face, feeling much more awake, Mo Jingchun returned to the lounge but was stunned.
Where did all those people go just now? In the blink of an eye, only Li Qianqian was left.
"Where did they go?"
Li Qianqian, without raising her head while eating a meat bun, said, "They left after peeking at the teacher through the glass."
"No need to make a fuss, everyone is busy."
Mo Jingchun sat in silence with Li Qianqian, both quietly eating breakfast.
"When does the teacher usually wake up?"
Shaking her head, Li Qianqian said, "No pattern, could wake up at any time, the doctor will inform me."
More than two hours later, standing at the entrance of the military hospital after getting out of the car, Candy tugged at her sister’s clothing while staring at the familiar "cross" symbol.
"Sister, isn’t this a hospital? What’s brother having us come here for?"
Zhou Yaling was also puzzled, "Call your brother to come down and fetch us."
When we left yesterday, he was bouncing with energy, brother didn’t seem sick at all, if he were truly ill, there’s no way White wouldn’t notice.
For this reason, Zhou Yaling wasn’t worried about her brother at all.
"Okay ~"
"Zero, call brother."
"Is it the one marked ’Stinky Brother’?"
Zhou Yaling looked over in surprise, Candy blushing with a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. Zero had to be doing this on purpose, it never asked like this before.
"What did you save me as?"
Candy grinned awkwardly, quietly covering her smart watch with her shirt.
Blinking, Candy giggled, "Sister, better if you make the call."
"Heh~"
It’s most likely not a flattering nickname.
Right now there’s no time to deal with this, Zhou Yaling didn’t stall, she quickly dialed her brother’s number.
The phone rang once and was picked up.
"Candy and I are at the hospital entrance."
"Got it, I’ll come to get you."
Standing up, Mo Jingchun said to Li Qianqian, whose eyes were blank, "Candy has arrived, I’ll go meet her."
"Alright."
From a distance, standing outside the hospital, Candy saw her brother.
Excited, Candy jumped up and waved vigorously, shouting loudly, "Brother, we’re here."
Following Mo Jingchun, Zhou Yaling curiously asked, "Brother, you had me bring Candy here in the middle of the night, who are we meeting?"
Walking down the corridor outside the ICU ward, Zhou Yaling wasn’t naïve, she guessed it must be someone who’s on their deathbed.
"You don’t know them."
Pushing the door open, Candy walked in side by side with her brother, staring at the bald head in confusion then excitedly shouted, "Is it you, big sister?"
