Chapter 824 - 822: Tsk~ So Brother Knew All Along

0-3-3

Five minutes into the game, Mo Jingchun had already died three times. He admitted he was a bit of a noob.

Especially with the opposing Wild King zealously invading, Mo Jingchun’s jungler was practically crippled.

Knowing what was coming next, Mo Jingchun silently shut off all teammate microphones and blocked the text messages.

In less than ten minutes, Mo Jingchun could only watch helplessly as the crystal exploded while waiting to respawn.

"Sigh~ When did I become so bad at this."

Back on the main game screen, the observant Mo Jingchun noticed a red dot on the mail icon.

A bad feeling arose.

"Hiss... I didn’t intentionally throw the game, but they still deducted four credibility points."

Mo Jingchun quietly placed the phone back to its original position, and gave a warning look to the camera above his head.

On the other side, Candy strolled leisurely while eating, making her way to the 10th floor.

Without knocking, Candy walked directly into her sister-in-law’s office area.

In the next moment, Candy froze.

Where’s the sister-in-law?

Confused, Candy scratched her head and looked back at Zero.

"She’ll be back soon, let’s wait."

"Oh."

Candy didn’t stand on ceremony and plopped down in her sister-in-law’s office chair.

Zero secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing Candy wasn’t probing further. He couldn’t exactly say the sister-in-law was in the restroom considering there were so many employees around.

The chips were deliciously crunchy, and a few people nearby couldn’t help but swallow as they reminisced about the flavor.

After a bit, an employee stood up and left the office area.

Zero just glanced over and lost interest.

But soon both Candy and Zero’s gazes landed on the employee who had just left.

In under a minute, the person returned, now carrying several bags of chips in hand.

Looking down at the chips in her arms, Candy suddenly felt like they weren’t as tasty as before.

......

Li Xuanyu smiled at the mirror reflection, happy every day.

Unlike other girls, Li Xuanyu didn’t like wearing high heels. Flat shoes were her favorite.

Returning to the office area, Li Xuanyu was taken aback.

Not because she saw Zero and Candy, but because all around there was the sound of crunching. Everyone was eating chips.

"Sis-in-law, you’re back, brother said..."

Next moment, the delight on Candy’s face was stopped by Li Xuanyu covering her mouth.

"Let’s talk outside."

Under the gossiping eyes of colleagues, Li Xuanyu dragged Candy out of the office area.

Crunch~ Crunch~

"Do you think, when will we get to eat the boss’s wedding candies?"

"Didn’t hear any rumors, you could directly ask the manager."

"Will you ask?"

"I’m scared."

"You think I’m not scared too."

Mo Jingchun and Li Xuanyu’s relationship is obvious, even though Mo Jingchun was only a minor manager with few employees, everyone maintained some respect.

Just saying, the term "pillow talk" came from somewhere.

Finding a secluded corner, Li Xuanyu pinched Candy’s cute cheeks and said:

"Now you can tell me, what did your brother want you to say to me?"

Crunch~

Candy popped a chip in her mouth and said with a smile:

"We’re going rafting the day after tomorrow, brother asked me to tell you."

"What time are we leaving, morning or afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, Candy froze, her smile instantly stiffening.

After a long pause, Candy finally spoke: "Brother didn’t say, I’ll ask him later."

Crunch~ Candy bit down hard on the chip, a fierce look on her face.

Hmph~ ╭(╯^╰)╮ Brother must’ve intentionally left it out.

"Alright, stop teasing, I’ll head back to work. You and Zero have fun, no fighting, got it?"

Watching her sister-in-law’s back, Candy blinked blankly, then tilted her head towards Zero.

"Have we ever fought?"

"No."

"Then why does sis-in-law think we would fight?"

"Could it be possible..."

"You say."

"Maybe because you’re quite mischievous."

Crunch~

"Slander! I’m so adorable!"

Candy didn’t rush to ask her brother what time they’d leave the day after tomorrow. Instead, she and Zero headed downstairs together.

Using Beidou positioning, Candy and Zero skillfully found Bun hiding in the Osmanthus tree.

"Tsk tsk tsk, be careful not to fall and break your leg."

Bun on a branch glared disdainfully at the little owner.

Being so short, jumping down wouldn’t cause any issues.

"Hey! Believe me, your step count might increase by 5000 tomorrow."

Upon hearing, Bun dropped the disdain on its face.

"Meow~"

Bun leapt down, rubbing its head against the little owner’s legs incessantly.

"Meow~"

"That’s more like it."

After comforting Bun for a while, Candy stood up and left, leaving Bun bewildered.

Why did she suddenly stop petting?

It just started enjoying itself.

Holding an umbrella disproportionate to her height, Candy aimed directly at the underground supermarket.

"My favorite Little Pudding, here I come~"

The underground supermarket’s height was insufficient for both Candy and Bun to see the ice cream in the freezer.

But not to worry, upon hearing Candy’s "sweet older sister," the shop assistant couldn’t resist and helped Candy fetch a Little Pudding.

She didn’t intend to, but Candy called her older sister.

Sluuuurp~

Sluuuurp~

Candy savored each bite as if it were scarce, as only one could be eaten every two days, it was tough.

Not even once more would the store clerk agree.

Through the glass, Candy could see the heat waves outside.

"Zero, do you think brother knows I eat ice cream?"

"Otherwise, why would all the clerks in the underground supermarket only let me have one every two days?"

Zero took a glance at Candy, and with a playful tone said:

"Every purchase you make at the underground supermarket gets synchronized to the boss’s phone. Do you think the boss knows?"

Candy’s eyes widened, almost dropping her Little Pudding.

No one ever told her about this!

Well, her sneaky eating and drinking got caught, brother knew all along.

Now it made sense why brother looked at her so strangely at times, making her puzzled, but now explained.

Sluuuurp~

"Tsk~ So brother knew, that’s why only one each two days."

Having realized this, Candy wasn’t scared at all.

Brother knew but didn’t bring it up, meaning he tacitly accepted it.

There was nothing to worry about.

She munched boldly without concern.

After checking her pocket, Candy remembered she left her phone behind when she dashed out.

Zero noticed Candy’s little gesture, recalling how Mo Jingchun played a game on Candy’s phone, a smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

Heh, it would be interesting if Candy discovered the game record.

"Zero, what are you smiling about?"

"Am I smiling? No, you must have seen it wrong."

Candy furrowed her brows, taking a slurp of her Little Pudding, pondering if she indeed saw incorrectly.

Never mind, better finish the Little Pudding before it melts completely.
