Chapter 844 - 842: Candy: Why Does My Back Feel Cold?

In the office area outside the computer research lab of Building No. 1, Wei Luxue sat somewhat awkwardly across from Mo Jingchun.

No words were spoken, but the inherent pressure made Wei Luxue aware that a mentor is always a mentor, and regardless of age, one feels perpetually uneasy in their presence.

On the desk, two large red notebooks lay quietly, and Wei Luxue occasionally sneaked a glance at them.

Mo Jingchun looked at Wei Luxue with a half-smile, making Wei Luxue nervous enough to pick at her fingernails.

"I rarely take you along normally, yet you act as a spokesperson for the school."

Wei Luxue lowered her head even further.

"Let’s not talk about taking graduate students today, let’s talk about you. Now that you’ve graduated from graduate school, do you have any plans?"

"No."

"No?"

"Ah? No, I mean it’s good now, I like it here." Wei Luxue responded somewhat incoherently; she didn’t want to leave Candy Technology. Over the past two years, she had witnessed the step-by-step development of the ternary computer. Putting aside the ecological environment, the latest ternary computer was no weaker than the current binary computer.

In the future, the achievements of the ternary computer will be greater. This is a fact recognized by everyone in the lab.

Confirming that Wei Luxue would continue staying, Mo Jingchun nodded, relieving his slight worry.

Last year, the school wanted him to take his graduate students too, but due to limited energy, he refused. This year, emmm, Wei Luxue graduated, and it was truly difficult not to agree.

However, currently, Mo Jingchun has a new idea.

"After careful consideration, I decided that this year I’ll take on two more graduate students, and I’ll leave them for you to handle. For thesis and difficult questions, you can turn to me."

Not caring about the stunned Wei Luxue, Mo Jingchun felt it was quite natural for the senior to guide juniors and senior sisters. Besides, Wei Luxue now had ample knowledge reserves.

"Take good care of your graduation and degree certificates and don’t lose them, the originals are unique."

Having said that, Mo Jingchun got up and left the computer research lab.

Coming to the private lab that hadn’t been visited for some days, Mo Jingchun remained quiet for a while and dialed Na’s phone number.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Mo Jingchun sighed, "After thinking it over, this year I’ll take on two more grad students, to also cultivate talent for the company."

"Alright, I’ll notify the dean later."

With the call finished, Mo Jingchun exhaled deeply; the world isn’t always about fights and combats.

As Mo Jingchun left the private lab, the top floor of Lab No. 1 returned to silence and darkness.

"Zero, be careful, okay?"

In the office corner, Candy watched nervously as Zero stood on a small stool building with blocks.

With their afternoon efforts, the structure was over a meter high. Candy felt that at the moment, a slight push would topple the blocks.

Placing the final block at the highest point, Zero clapped her hands confidently and said with a smile, "Perfectly done."

Just walking in, Mo Jingchun glanced at the tall block structure and was slightly surprised; with Zero involved, he didn’t think there was any reason to be too surprised.

With Zero’s precise control, she could easily be considered a master of block building.

"Brother, you’re back!"

"Hmm, be careful not to be hit by falling blocks."

Mentioning blocks, Candy became energetic.

"Haha, brother, aren’t we awesome?"

"Awesome, awesome."

Praised by Mo Jingchun, Candy felt happy. At this moment, the sleepy Little Grey lazily shook itself and ambled slowly towards Candy.

"No, don’t!"

The taut dog leash touched the blocks for a moment, causing the already unstable structure to collapse halfway under external force.

Suddenly, the office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for Little Grey grinning in front of Candy, wagging its tail continuously as if oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

"I’m angry now."

Candy rubbed Little Grey’s head forcefully, gritting her teeth as she exclaimed, "I really like you!"

"I really, really like you!"

"Before I had a chance to photograph it, you knocked down the blocks we painstakingly built."

Candy wanted to cry, but it was still work time, and being seen by everyone would be too embarrassing, so she forced back the tears swaying in her eyes and just rubbed the dog’s head forcefully.

At this point, even Mo Jingchun didn’t dare make any sound.

Knowing his sister, as soon as he tried to comfort her, Candy’s tears would flow uncontrollably.

Mo Jingchun and Zero exchanged a glance, full of tacit understanding, everything left unsaid.

"Brother, don’t give Little Grey any extra chicken legs tonight."

"Alright." Mo Jingchun agreed readily, there wasn’t any difficulty, as long as there was no deliberate provocation, this matter could be considered resolved.

No choice, since this silly dog was picked up by Candy herself.

As for the chubby Bun, if it weren’t for Candy, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t bother to raise them.

Under the evening shade, after dinner, Candy ran barefoot around the house, with Mo Jingchun sitting at the dining table playing on his phone, he commented on Candy’s bare feet:

"Candy, you’ve taken off your socks again, right?"

"Fine. You wait, I’m going to call the doctor now and have Dr. Ma bring a one-meter-long needle to jab your bottom."

Hearing this, Candy stuck her tongue out at Mo Jingchun.

"Bleh, brother, do you think I haven’t seen Dr. Ma’s short video? You can’t scare me, not a chance."

"I’m not a kindergartener, you still want to use Dr. Ma to scare me."

After speaking, Candy provocatively stuck out her little bottom, laughing, "A one-meter-long needle?"

"There’s no one-meter-long needle in the world, hmph, still trying to trick me."

Mo Jingchun didn’t refute, just smiled mysteriously, making Candy’s back feel cold. For some reason, Candy felt something bad was going to happen, like someone was plotting against her.

But she hadn’t said anything wrong; the one-meter-long needle was indeed a short video prank for kids.

Scratching her head as she watched her brother go upstairs, Candy couldn’t quite grasp her brother’s tricks.

Slightly uncertain, Candy leaned close to her sister and quietly asked, "Sister, is there a one-meter-long needle?"

"No, at least I’ve never seen one." Zhou Yaling confirmed.

"Then I’m relieved."

With that dismissed from her mind, Candy continued playing with Zero, not taking her brother’s words too seriously.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Mo Jingchun entered the study, opened the drawer, and retrieved a small notebook from a tin box.

Looking at the notebook in his hand, Mo Jingchun smiled broadly. As he calculated the time, it was almost time to take Candy.

Under the warm light, several large letters were clearly visible on the green notebook, one of which read "Child Immunization Record."
