Chapter 886 - 884: That Tangy Feeling!

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, Zero pulled open the curtains.

Looking at Candy, who was already awake, Zero blinked and smiled:

"Why the long face?"

Candy, who was teased by Zero, couldn’t muster a smile.

"It hurts."

"From the thighs down, everywhere hurts."

Leaning against the bed, Candy grimaced in pain.

The soreness was so intense, didn’t want to move a single leg.

The worst part is, even without moving her legs, the pain was still there.

So sour and painful.

Seeing Candy’s teary-eyed look, Zero rolled her eyes and said:

"I told you yesterday afternoon to exercise in moderation, you played soccer all afternoon, it’s no wonder your legs hurt."

"Zero, what do I do now? I feel my legs aren’t mine anymore."

"What to do? Just chill. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine in a couple of days. Then you’ll notice your legs are stronger."

Upon hearing this, Candy sighed with a worried face.

"I just don’t want the pain, I’m not eager for stronger legs."

Touching her stomach, Candy was already hungry.

Candy seriously suspected she woke up either due to hunger or pain.

Most likely both reasons.

"Zero, I’m so hungry. Is sister-in-law up yet?"

Zero nodded and said: "She’s been up for a while, unlike you and Zhou Yaling, who sleep in as soon as it’s the weekend."

"By the way, didn’t you have homework this week?"

Candy was taken aback, only realizing after Zero mentioned it, that the teacher really didn’t assign any homework!

"No! Maybe the teacher knew we’d have sore legs, so didn’t assign any homework."

Sounded quite reasonable, Zero pondered, that’s probably the reason.

"Zero, my feet hurt, can you tell sister-in-law I’m hungry?"

Glancing at Candy, who was rubbing her little hands and looking full of expectation, Zero pursed her lips and said: "Wait here."

After saying that, Zero turned around and left Candy’s bedroom.

Once Zero left, Candy pinched her thigh.

"Ouch... it hurts! I wonder if Xiang’Er’s legs hurt too."

Thinking about it, Candy raised her left hand, using the smartwatch to contact Xiang’Er.

"Xiang’Er, my legs hurt so much, do yours hurt?"

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Xiang’Er finally replied.

"No, I only played for a short while yesterday and sat under the willow tree reading a book, didn’t you know?"

"What?! I totally forgot."

On the other side, Xiang’Er was helping her grandma clean and helplessly patted her forehead.

"Next time, you need to balance work and rest, otherwise you’ll end up with a sore body like now."

"I have to go now, I’m helping grandma sweep the floor."

After listening to Xiang’Er’s last voice message, Candy finally sighed and did not disturb Xiang’Er any further.

"I was wondering why Xiang’Er wasn’t asleep when we got back yesterday; turns out she was conserving energy."

Downstairs, Li Xuanyu smiled and said, "Xiaochun said yesterday that Candy probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed today, and it’s true."

"I will cook a bowl of noodles for Candy first, and then, Zero, you take it up to her."

"Okay." Zero nodded.

Twenty minutes later.

Zero carried a bowl of fragrant noodles and walked steadily upstairs.

Though it was called a bowl of noodles, three poached eggs took up half of it.

When Candy picked up the chopsticks, ready to eat, and saw the three poached eggs, she was overjoyed.

So happy!

Too bad sister-in-law wasn’t here, otherwise, Candy would’ve surely sent her a loving heart emoji.

After finishing the bowl of noodles, Candy immediately felt her stomach wasn’t hungry, and her legs didn’t hurt as much.

Candy happily told Zero, only for Zero to roll her eyes at Candy and say plainly:

"That’s just a psychological effect on you."

In the mid-morning, Little Grey noticed the little master hadn’t come down and ran up to check.

Seeing the little master was still alive, Little Grey wagged his tail, turned, and left.

The speed, so fast Candy wasn’t able to react.

"Did Little Grey come to see me as a joke?"

Hearing this, Zero was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Isn’t there a possibility that Little Grey is just wondering why you didn’t feed him dog food this morning?"

The sentence made Candy’s smile freeze.

Looking down at Bun still lying beside the pillow, Candy breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased.

"At least Bun knows to stay with me."

The next second, Bun lazily stretched out his four claws.

Under the watchful eyes of Candy and Zero, Bun gently leaped off.

Jumped down from the bed, then left without looking back.

"Cough, cough, Bun must be hungry too, heading downstairs for food."

Faced with Candy’s self-comfort, Zero said nothing.

Candy might not know, but Zero did. At six in the morning, Bun had already gone downstairs for food.

He was just napping again.

Forget it, better not say, otherwise Candy might get so mad her head would steam.

As noon approached, Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling, with curious eyes, knocked on the door and entered Candy’s room.

"Hey, the sun’s up, why aren’t you out of bed yet?"

Candy turned her head, trying not to look at her brother.

Her brother was clearly asking knowingly.

"Tsk tsk."

Zhou Yaling gently pinched Candy’s little foot exposed outside the quilt, making Candy widen her eyes in pain.

"Ouch!"

"Hahaha—really?"

Seeing the mischievous smile on her sister’s face, Candy was so angry she gritted her teeth.

Candy regretted it, regretted why she played soccer yesterday.

If she’d been like Xiang’Er, played for a while and stopped, today would’ve been fine.

No way would she be teased by her sister now.

"Don’t pinch my leg, or I’ll cry."

On the verge of tears... Zhou Yaling awkwardly smiled, withdrawing her claw.

This little ancestor crying would be no fun at all.

Mo Jingchun looked at Candy’s foot and calmly said:

"I checked, it’s not a big problem, you can go to school normally the day after tomorrow."

As expected, brother and sister are in cahoots.

Otherwise, why do they both speak in such a heart-wrenching manner!

Zhou Yaling saw her brother smile and turn to leave, then cheerfully waved at Candy before catching up.

"With Candy like this, can she really go to school on Monday?"

Mo Jingchun paused and looked back at Zhou Yaling, countering: "What else?"

"Do you think it’s just Candy can’t get up? No, many parents in the group are texting ’hahaha’. "

Zhou Yaling was stunned, are parents so bold these days?

"Didn’t any parents complain to the school?"

"Don’t know, but no complaints from Candy’s class so far."

"That might just be the different educational philosophies of 90s parents."

"As long as there’s no threat to life and health, 90s parents prefer their kids to experience different feelings."

Mo Jingchun twisted his neck and grinned.

Watch, even if some parents complain, they would be drowned by the young 90s parents’ comments.

"By the way, when are you two planning to meet the parents?"
