Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

The next second, a hand snatched the bottled water from Candy’s hand.

"Drink less, or you won’t find a restroom in time later. Let’s see what you do then." As Mo Jingchun spoke, he already bypassed Candy and continued walking forward.

Candy, trailing behind, pouted. It’s just a few more sips of bottled water.

With all this sweating, there’s no urge to use the restroom.

"Sis, slow down a bit, my legs are short." Candy knew calling his brother was futile, but calling upon his sister-in-law definitely worked.

Sure enough, Li Xuanyu stopped, standing there with a bright smile, waiting. Once she stopped, Mo Jingchun had no choice but to pause as well, letting Candy surpass him to walk ahead.

Who said children’s thoughts are simple? Look, Candy easily grasped the essence, knowing that here, Li Xuanyu held absolute authority.

After walking for about half an hour, Mo Jingchun stood on the platform, snapping photos of the scenery to send to his homebody sister.

Beside him, Candy savored the popsicle purchased by his sister-in-law.

"Tut-tut, the popsicle that tasted ordinary before is exceptionally delicious today."

"Zero, do you want one too? I’ll treat you!"

Lounging in the sun, Zero turned away, avoiding Candy’s gaze.

After sending the freshly snapped photos, Mo Jingchun approached with a smile, asking, "Are you rested? Shall we continue?"

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned to Candy, still savoring his popsicle. After all, Candy was the only one to call for a break.

With everyone staring intently, Candy shyly took a big bite of his popsicle, then bashfully said, "Brother, I want to ride that."

Following Candy’s pointing finger, Mo Jingchun glanced at the porters who had been eyeing them, sighing helplessly.

Candy desired a rest here and had planned for this. The porters resting over there hadn’t taken their eyes off Mo Jingchun’s group since they arrived.

"I figured."

Mo Jingchun glared at the tongue-poking Candy before acknowledging the porters with a nod.

Without needing further instruction, four porters immediately approached.

Seeing this setup, Mo Jingchun found it hard to refuse, not wanting to show favoritism, considering Zero is a self-aware AI and, in a way, a life form.

"You two take a seat."

Zero and Candy exchanged a glance and simultaneously chuckled.

Not only were Zero and Candy happy, but so were the porters who had waited ten minutes. Carrying children versus adults? Anyone can guess which is more comfortable.

The key point is that this single job might cover a day’s income.

If Mo Jingchun knew their thoughts, he would chuckle. He might offer a bit more but still remain prudent; he’s not a fool.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Candy’s large eyes squinted immediately. Truth be told, lying there was quite comfy, though ascending stairs felt slightly precarious. However, with Feiyan beside them, all of Candy’s concerns vanished.

After paying, the porters didn’t pause for a moment, immediately departing, seemingly planning to catch one more job while it was still early.

When Mo Jingchun looked up again, searching for Candy, what do you know, the kid hadn’t even waited for his brother and was already racing to the summit with Zero.

"Whoa~"

After a loud shout, Candy tapped Zero’s shoulder and asked, "Zero, why aren’t you shouting loudly? It’s fun!"

Feeling the eyes of other tourists, Zero hesitated slightly.

"Ah~"

"Just like this."

The next second, Candy regretted it.

Once Zero opened his mouth to shout, Candy immediately covered his ears.

Seeing Zero’s amused smile, Candy dug at his ears.

"Zero, are you trying to deafen me? Why is your voice so loud?"

"Look, you’ve scared the uncles and aunties."

Facing the retreating tourists, Zero gave an embarrassed grin.

Just then, Mo Jingchun and the others walked up. Noticing Mo Jingchun, several tourists secretly snapped photos with their phones.

Mo Jingchun glanced over but remained silent.

"Seems like you’re not tired at all."

Candy’s black eyes darted around as he suddenly declared, "Brother, I want to go to the restroom."

Without giving Mo Jingchun a chance to respond, Candy pulled Zero along toward the public restrooms.

"Why are you dragging me along? I don’t need to go."

"Humph, this is the strategic retreat among thirty-six strategies."

"Can’t you see brother was about to tease me?"

Just like a transparent person, Feiyan gazed at the clear sky, pretending not to hear anything, though her twitching lips betrayed her inner thoughts.

At five in the morning, Bright Summit was filled with tourists watching the sunrise; all you could see were people.

Unlike these folks, Mo Jingchun and his group slept at the hotel until past four before coming up.

Standing at the summit, wearing a jacket, Mo Jingchun felt chilly. Seeing Candy wrapped in a blanket stirred his envy, wishing he’d brought two more blankets.

The day’s heat is matched by the evening’s chill.

"Cold at such heights."

"What?" Engrossed in her phone, Candy looked up puzzled at her muttering brother.

Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy, saying, "Nothing, just reciting poetry."

"Reciting poetry? I can do that too!"

Candy’s eyes lit up, and she coughed twice, sitting up straight. As Mo Jingchun and Li Xuanyu awaited her poetry recital with slight anticipation, Candy began.

"Goose, goose, goose,

Neck stretches to the sky for song.

White feathers drift on green water,

Red feet stir the serene waves."

Mo Jingchun turned his head, wanting to avoid speaking. Indeed, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

What a poem indeed — it’s a verse about a goose.

Glancing at her brother’s expression, Candy coughed again, "There’s more, don’t rush!"

"Two yellow orioles sing among green willows,

A line of white egrets ascends into the blue sky,

Windows frame a thousand autumn snows on the west ridge,

Ships dock at the eastern Wu shore for miles beyond."

"How’s that? Impressive, huh! There’s no poem from my first-grade textbook I can’t recite."

"Very impressive."

Candy pouted, "Brother, you’re too perfunctory. Not even pretending."

"Don’t underestimate your brother. Reciting ancient poetry is already impressive."

Upon hearing this, Candy nodded, "Exactly, sis, you get me."

"Even teachers praise my academic performance."

As they chatted, time flew by.

Suddenly, tourists stood up, all setting up smartphone stands.

From the darkness emerged the first light of dawn.

With the sunrise imminent, Candy watched as the older tourists had professional smartphone stands, feeling regretful as she smacked her thigh, regretting not bringing her own stand.

"What are you doing?" Mo Jingchun looked puzzled at Candy, who suddenly began thigh-smacking.

Holding a phone mismatched to her hand size, Candy sighed and said, "Brother, don’t you feel we’re missing something?"

PS: Palms keep sweating, folks, try to avoid crowded places; feeling like death is truly unbearable.
