Under the warm-toned lights, a children’s cartoon was playing on the TV. No one spoke; everyone was quietly sitting on the sofa watching the cartoon.
At first, the cartoon seemed a bit childish, but when you calm down and quietly follow the plot, you realize that every character’s words are quite amusing.
Such a warm scene was suddenly interrupted by a whistle-like fart sound.
Taking advantage of her brother’s and sister’s attention being on the TV, Candy’s big, black eyes rolled mischievously. Sensing the right moment, Candy slightly raised her butt. She intended to pass gas quietly, but was dumbfounded herself when she heard the sharp sound.
Seeing her brother’s and sister’s surprised expressions, Candy made up her mind and simply didn’t hold back.
With the long sound coming to an end, Candy sighed in contentment.
Her stomach had been feeling uncomfortable all evening, but she felt much better now.
Mo Jingchun, looking at the still-smiling Candy, couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
"It’s quite uncivilized to fart so loudly."
In response, Candy raised her eyebrows and said, "I know, but I couldn’t hold it in."
Rubbing his forehead, Mo Jingchun said helplessly, "I told you not to eat so many roasted sweet potatoes, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you know better."
At this, Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "It’s no big deal, there are no outsiders at home anyway."
"If you don’t say, and I don’t say, who would know that adorable Candy just let out a loud fart—yeah, a very loud fart, and rather long too."
As she was speaking, Zhou Yaling laughed so much her stomach hurt.
Candy rolled her eyes and, a bit angrily, said, "What’s so funny, sister? You grind your teeth when you sleep, don’t think I don’t know."
"And brother, sometimes you snore in your sleep."
Mo Jingchun spread out his hands innocently, "You two are arguing, why bring me into it? It’s true I snore occasionally, but that’s only because I’m too tired."
"By the way, didn’t I hide all the catfish treats for Bun? How come I still saw Bun eating them at night?"
As soon as he said this, Candy, who was just puffing up her chest and lifting her head, quickly deflated, drooping her head without a word.
Seeing Candy’s change, Mo Jingchun knew Candy must be involved.
"You managed to find them even when I hid them in the study drawer?"
Picking at her fingernails, Candy murmured softly, "I didn’t look for them, I just opened the drawer and took a peek."
"Really, it was Bun who took me there."
"I just opened the drawer and unpackaged it, that’s all."
While Mo Jingchun was looking around for Bun, at some point, Bun, who was originally lying in the doghouse, had disappeared.
One has to admit, this guy’s ability to predict and escape is truly strong.
Especially its escape skills, even in the cat world, are top-notch. That chubby body of Bun’s doesn’t hinder its ability in the slightest.
"No catfish treats for Bun for a week, let’s see him suffer, understand?"
Candy, with a sympathetic look, said, "Poor Bun, no catfish treats for a whole week."
"Then I’ll deduct your pocket money for next week, you choose one of the two."
"I’ll choose to give up my pocket money."
Candy’s tone and expression were very firm, fearing that her brother might change his mind. Candy added, "Brother, Bun made a mistake and should be punished, not for a week, I promise not to feed catfish treats."
Seeing Candy’s resolve, Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling silently mourned for Bun for a second.
Poor kitty, sacrificed at a critical moment. Truly, look out for yourself first!
...
In mid-January, close to the end of the year, there was only a week left until New Year’s Eve.
If outsiders entered the Candy Science and Technology Park, they would see smiles on everyone’s faces. The most discussed topic was how much this year’s bonus would be. As for the annual party, people no longer had the high expectations they used to.
The annual parties were always predictable; not too surprising, but never disappointing.
The annual bonus, however, was what everyone in the company cared most about. It’s significant for many, determining how much money one can bring home for the New Year.
In the dead of winter, even with the sun out, it’s still freezing outside.
Fully geared, Candy held a wooden stick her brother discarded, prying at the ice in the fountain. Next to Candy squatted a little fellow. Wang Haoran, two years younger than Candy, was a head shorter.
"Big sis, we won’t get caught fishing here, will we? My mom told me not to mess with the little fish in the fountain, or else the park people will fine us if caught."
Zero, who was smashing ice to find fish, chuckled dismissively, "Take a look over there, isn’t that the park staff?"
"They’ve been standing there for a minute and haven’t said a word to us. Don’t worry, with big sis here, no one will trouble you."
"Strange, there were so many fish in the summer. Why can’t I see a single one today? Could Bun have eaten them all in half a year?"
"Meow~"
"You didn’t eat them, then how come I can’t find any?"
As Candy was focused on looking for fish, the park staff, who had been standing far away, began to walk over.
The girl was a bit frightened by the bodyguard’s constant gaze on her, so she stopped two meters behind Candy, afraid that going closer might cause a misunderstanding.
"Ahem~"
Hearing the cough, Candy instinctively turned her head. Seeing the park-uniformed lady, Candy put her hands on her hips and boldly said, "Big sister, are you going to fine me for fishing?"
The girl blushed and said, "No... no."
"I just wanted to remind you that all the fish in the fountain were scooped up and placed in the indoor tank of the park office since the first snowfall this year."
Upon hearing this, Candy’s eyes widened.
No wonder... no wonder she had been breaking ice for ages and hadn’t even seen a shadow.
"Well, if you want some fish, you can follow me to the park office to get one."
Candy felt regretful, regretting that she didn’t call Zero when she ran out to play from her brother’s office. If Zero had come along, he would have known there were no fish in the fountain, and she wouldn’t be feeling so embarrassed now.
Having remained silent for a while, Candy noticed her little brother smiling at her, making her embarrassment even more apparent.
Absentmindedly tapping on the ice block, Candy softly said, "Big sister, can I wait here while you go? Just one fish is enough."
"Sure!" The girl agreed with great enthusiasm, jogging away energetically.
Watching her run off, Wang Haoran chuckled, "Big sis, that was awkward."
