"Mo Xiaoxue, have you figured out how to write your reflection yet?"

"No, I’ll think about it when I get home. It’s just homework assigned by the teacher, what’s the rush?"

Faced with Xiaopang’s impatient questioning, Candy rolled her eyes.

After tidying up the desk, Candy and Xiang’Er both stood up.

"Xiaopang, aren’t you going to eat?"

"Yes!"

"Then why aren’t you in line yet?"

At this point, Xiaopang suddenly remembered that Mo Xiaoxue and Mo Hahan didn’t have to queue for meals, plus they had their own small dining room.

"Ah~ I forgot! I’ll go now!"

Watching Xiaopang dash towards the canteen without hesitation, Candy chuckled.

"Xiang’Er, do you think Xiaopang and Bun are quite alike?"

Hearing this, Xiang’Er scratched her head in confusion.

"Are they? In what way?"

"Haha, of course, Bun and Xiaopang are alike in that food comes first! Otherwise, how else do they keep their figures the same?"

"You, you better not let Xiaopang hear that, otherwise, he’ll complain about you again. You already gave him a nickname on the first day of school, and now everyone calls him Xiaopang, he can’t shake it off."

"I didn’t do it on purpose."

Walking on the path to the canteen, Candy personally experienced the change in temperature over the short span of two days.

Autumn... is coming.

Those huge sycamore trees still had green leaves, yet autumn was unknowingly approaching.

Candy vaguely remembered last year’s late autumn, her favorite spot during breaks was under the sycamore trees.

The ground covered in sycamore leaves was something Candy was enamored with.

For them, the few sycamore trees on campus were the most beautiful scenery.

But for the sixth-grade second class students, patience with the leaves was a nightmare.

Every autumn day they faced a thick layer of leaves needing clearing, and those on cleanup duty were notably disgruntled.

Thinking of herself being in sixth-grade first class in the future, not having to sweep leaves, Candy’s lips curled slightly.

Sitting in the small dining room, Candy and Xiang’Er kept their heads down as they ate.

After her brother raised the salary of the canteen older sister, this semester the older sister was even more enthusiastic towards her, which actually made her a bit uncomfortable.

Especially at times like now, standing in the room watching her and Xiang’Er eat.

Even if she didn’t say a word, just watched with a smiling face.

But it was uncomfortable all over!

After hesitating for a long time, Candy raised her head and said:

"Big sister, you go and take care of your things, you don’t have to watch me, being watched while eating feels a bit strange."

The in-charge was taken aback for a moment, nodded and backed out, closing the door behind her.

As the door closed, Xiang’Er, who was bowing her head to eat, also sighed in relief.

Just like Candy said, being constantly watched while eating indeed felt weird.

But Xiang’Er knew that it was Candy who the other cared about, not her.

Moreover, she knew there were things Candy could say, but she couldn’t.

Even though her mom wasn’t always by her side, she would always teach Xiang’Er over the phone what’s appropriate to do and what isn’t!

After finishing their meal and coming out of the small dining room, Candy and Xiang’Er didn’t see the older sister and didn’t care much about it.

In Candy’s mindset, the older sister should center her attention on the whole canteen, not just her.

This should be what her brother often mentions as focusing on one’s duties!

Several kilometers away, in Candy Science and Technology Park, Mo Jingchun was already back in his office.

Took a sip of water, then went for a nap.

Meanwhile, outside the computer research laboratory of the No. 1 lab, facing the office building from afar.

Wang Jiazhou and Xiao Feng, who had just emerged from inside, had a look of numbed surprise.

From the initial shock, to finding out that there were just too many things that amazed them.

They never imagined that the supercomputer used by Candy Technology Laboratory was actually a quantum supercomputer!

Its terrifying computing power, able to support real-time application usage for numerous labs.

Even more outrageous was the ternary computer.

They initially thought it was just starting research, only to find out the technology was already mature.

Moreover, according to their senior, ternary computers and AI are like a natural pair.

"Hey! Snap out of it!"

"What’s there to be shocked about, actually the most mysterious place is the top floor, the teacher’s private lab."

"Don’t look at me, as far as I know, only two people can go into the teacher’s private lab."

"One is the teacher themselves, the other is Candy. Of course, Zero can come and go as it wishes."

"Senior, even you have never been inside?"

Wei Luxue pointed at herself, laughing: "Me?"

"I’m just a student, not even part of the company’s high management, what would let me go inside."

"Young ones, work hard, follow Senior and you won’t have to worry about your papers, all you have to do is thoroughly understand the information in hand and then join me in continuously optimizing and upgrading ternary computers."

"Oh, and by the way, once you pass through that door, don’t mention anything from inside the lab. First time, you’ll receive a warning, second time, hehe~"

Wei Luxue gave a mysterious smile, leaving Xiao Feng and Wang Jiazhou inexplicably uneasy.

"Senior, what happens the second time?"

"Take a guess, anyway, I don’t know anyone who’s been warned twice."

By the end of September, new students from universities across the country, having just undergone a military training lasting over half a month, now sported a healthy tan.

The most annoying part was the cold spell after the training; it never rained during the training, with clear blue skies every day.

Meanwhile, freshman had not yet realized, at this moment, they became the most complained about by upperclassmen.

Whenever it was mealtime, the canteen was full of freshmen.

Jing City University.

Li Na took one look at the crowded canteen and turned away.

So many people.

Strolling back to the dormitory, Li Na seemed absent-minded.

In a blink, she was already in her thirties.

Li Na still remembered her first time seeing Candy, so tiny and small.

But in a blink, Candy was already seven years old.

Thinking of what her father said, Li Na sighed.

Still, she couldn’t face the idea of spending her life alone.

Childhood rebellion now met with its consequences.

Li Na often wondered what on earth she was thinking as a child, to ever pinch a little bird like she did.

Now look, they’re all afraid of her.

Next morning.

In the simple office, Dean Wang was surprised as he put down his reading glasses.

He wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Why decide to leave school suddenly?"

"Grandpa Wang, the world is so big, I want to go see it."

Dean Wang looked at Old Li’s granddaughter amused and said, "I’ve heard you haven’t been in the best spirits this year anyway, taking some time off could be good."

"I’ll hold onto your resignation letter, I’m giving you an extended leave."

"Go see the world, and when you come back here, you might have a different perspective, what do you say, girl."

"Alright!"
