Chapter 787 - 785: Did This Break the Heavenly Laws?

After the teachers’ meeting ended, the teaching staff had various expressions on their faces.

The principal was really ruthless, cutting off all their retreat options.

Want to simply not assign homework to students and solve the problem at its root?

Sorry, the principal directly imposed a homework quota.

Obviously, no one knows which sly person suggested the quota idea.

What is certain is that this sly person is definitely not part of the teaching staff; otherwise, it would be like digging your own grave.

After the meeting ended and the students’ last self-study class finished, they were dismissed.

Watching the students lining up on the playground, the teachers chattered amongst themselves.

The teachers who knew who sparked this issue couldn’t spread it around.

In the line, still unaware that the last class became a self-study period because of her, Candy was laughing and chatting with classmates.

"Xiaopang, where’s your self-reflection letter? Show it to me."

Xiaopang blushed and stubbornly stretched his neck saying:

"What self-reflection letter? You must be mistaken."

"Oh, come on — it’s no big deal, just losing the winter break homework," Candy said confidently, totally forgetting the intense work she had done on the night of the Lantern Festival.

At this moment, Xiang’Er tugged at Candy and Xiaopang’s clothes and whispered:

"Stop arguing, the homeroom teacher is coming."

Candy and Xiaopang both looked up, and sure enough, Xiang’Er was not lying, the homeroom teacher was walking straight towards them.

Judging by the gaze and walking trajectory, the target seems... to be Candy.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Candy instantly turned into a well-behaved student, straightening her back.

"Mo Xiaoxue, come with me for a moment."

Candy’s expression fell, and with visible reluctance, she stepped out of the line carrying her backpack.

Under the big tree by the school wall, Qu Weijun smiled and said to Mo Xiaoxue:

"Mo Xiaoxue, go back and tell your brother that the school has received the suggestion and has conducted a serious review."

Candy blinked, waiting for more information.

Seeing this, Qu Weijun smiled slightly, "That’s all you need to say, you can return to the line now."

"Oh." The next moment, Candy ran back with her backpack.

Watching Mo Xiaoxue rejoin the line, Qu Weijun was full of emotion.

"Dealing with smart people is different, just a word and everyone understands."

In the line, Xiaopang curiously asked:

"Mo Xiaoxue, what did the homeroom teacher want from you?"

Candy rolled her eyes and said annoyedly, "Why’s your curiosity worse than mine?"

The homeroom teacher asked me to bring a message to my brother, it’s none of your business."

Puzzled, Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "Oh? Really?"

"What else? My brother isn’t your brother."

A quarter of an hour later, Candy happily ran off the school bus back at Candy Science and Technology Park, but didn’t see her brother.

The otherwise empty square had only Little Grey waiting as usual.

Seeing Candy, Little Grey wagged its tail and approached.

"Ah — your paws are all dusty, don’t paw my clothes," Candy said with a frown, holding Little Grey’s head tightly.

Holding the dog’s head, Candy gritted her teeth and asked her smart watch:

"Zero, where’s my brother? Why didn’t anyone pick me up today?"

After waiting two or three seconds with no response, just when Candy thought Zero had also gone missing, Zero’s lazy voice came from the smart watch.

"Huh? The boss is still giving a lecture at the Aerospace Research Center."

"That’s strange, I clearly sent Little Grey to pick you up, didn’t you guys meet?"

Looking at the struggling Little Grey in her arms, Candy fell silent.

"You sent Little Grey to pick me up?"

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath, Candy discontentedly asked, "Zero, what about you?"

"I’m still doing experiments in the lab, just about to finish."

"Oh, I’m not talking anymore."

A few minutes later, walking into the office, Candy was filled with anger seeing her sister sitting on the sofa.

"Sis, no one picked me up today."

In the previous second, Zhou Yaling, who was laughing at short videos, froze for a second, then reacted with surprise and retorted:

"All of this park is yours, you’ve already come home, do you still need someone to pick you up?"

"Besides, we don’t usually pick you up; you’re always the slowest, we just wait for you at the dormitory building number one entrance."

Glancing at the pug-like Little Grey, Zhou Yaling pointed and said, "Besides, isn’t Little Grey there?"

For a moment, Candy was truly stumped by her sister’s retort.

Ultimately, Candy sighed.

How frustrating!

Sitting on the sofa, Candy rested her chin on her hand and said:

"When is brother getting off work?"

Zhou Yaling shrugged and spread her hands. "You should ask Zero or him directly, who else would know when he’s getting off?"

"You know, I can’t enter the lab over there."

That said, Zhou Yaling gave Candy a suggestion.

"Why don’t you go to the lab side? Maybe the old man got too caught up in research and lost track of time."

Candy muttered without looking up, "I’m not going, brother’s in lab building two, that place is no fun."

"I’m not listening," Zhou Yaling turned away, covering her ears.

In this company, except for the lab people, who isn’t curious about what’s inside the two lab buildings?

The more you hear, the more curious you get.

"No need to go, I’ve already reminded the boss."

Zero’s voice came from above, Candy and Zhou Yaling exchanged a look and both sighed.

Great, no need to go!

At this moment, Candy was surprised to notice, where’s Bun?

Such a large Bun?

With confusion, Candy asked Zhou Yaling:

"Sister, where’s Bun? Why don’t I see it?"

Bun... Zhou Yaling had a peculiar expression and pointed to the corner at the dejected large orange cat.

Looking in the direction Zhou Yaling pointed, Candy was dumbfounded.

"Sister, has Bun broken some divine rule? Why is it chained with such a thick chain?"

Candy couldn’t believe her eyes, that chain must weigh several kilos.

Finally receiving attention from its owner, Bun let out a miserable cry.

"Meow—"

Candy started to get up to unlock the chain, but hesitated the next second.

"Sister..."

"Don’t look at me, Bun was chained by our brother, I don’t dare unlock it."

"And..."

After pausing, Zhou Yaling continued:

"And Bun took the chance when no one was watching and ate President Xu’s fish."

Candy gasped in shock, "The fish I almost got hit for?"

"Yes."

Feeling sorry for Bun for a second, Candy contentedly sat back on the sofa.

To dare steal Mr. Xu’s fish, daring to eat fish today means daring to eat people tomorrow!

Let Bun, who broke the divine rule, cool down for a while, Candy thought.
