Watching Zero smile for no reason, Candy curiously leaned closer.

Zero turned around, just in time to meet Candy’s curious big eyes.

"What’s with that look?"

Candy chuckled, "Zero, something’s up with you."

"I saw it, you were secretly smiling just now."

"Come on, tell me, what funny thing did you discover again?"

Rolling his eyes, Zero spread his hands and said, "What could it be? It’s about the laboratory project. Are you sure you want to hear it? You’re not interested at all."

Hearing this, Candy scratched his head and confusedly said, "Is it about neuron connection technology?"

Zero glared at Candy and didn’t continue speaking.

A second later, Candy also covered his mouth.

Looking from the rearview mirror, Xiaofeixia’s mouth twitched.

"Zero, you have to keep it a secret for me, otherwise, my brother will scold me again."

"Don’t talk nonsense, I won’t say a thing."

"Alright!" Candy nodded seriously.

Actually, Candy was still quite puzzled inside. Isn’t it just neuron connection technology? What’s there to be happy about? He never saw his brother secretly laugh.

But constrained by the fact that he couldn’t mention laboratory matters in front of outsiders, Candy had to keep his confusion to himself.

Zero thought about being valued by Li Xuanyu, while Candy wondered why Zero was so happy.

Each harboring their own thoughts, the two little guys were very quiet for the rest of the journey.

Such a scene was quite rare for Xiaofeixia driving and Feiyan in the passenger seat.

Normally, the two little ones would never stop talking, buzzing around like bees.

Back home, the slightly tired Candy lay directly on the sofa without wanting to move.

Looking at his still energetic brother, Candy asked, "Brother, why aren’t you tired?"

Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy and said, "Who else would be like you, looking at the bowl while thinking of the pot, only thinking about eating, how could you not be tired?"

"Hah~"

The next moment, Candy, full of energy, said, "Brother, on the way back, I saw Zero looking out the window and secretly laughing."

Mo Jingchun was slightly surprised, Zero secretly laughing out the window, that’s... the first time he heard about that.

Turning to look at Zero, Zero blinked, "Boss, I just laughed a little, it’s normal."

Mo Jingchun thought for a bit, seems sensible enough, perhaps Zero thought of something funny.

Not paying attention to such trivial matters, Mo Jingchun said to Candy who was preparing to turn on the TV, "It’s almost nine o’clock, still watching TV? Go to bed earlier, we have to go to your sister-in-law’s house tomorrow."

"I’ll say it again, even if you encounter those weird relatives at their house tomorrow, don’t talk back, leave everything to me and Uncle, okay?"

"Got it." The two little ones answered in unison.

Mo Jingchun nodded, "Alright, go upstairs."

Just a few days ago, Li Xuanyu had warned him that if certain relatives were really too much, there’s no need to give face to those who don’t appreciate it.

Even so, unless it’s absolutely necessary, Mo Jingchun couldn’t truly act as Li Xuanyu suggested.

A slip of the tongue would put pressure on Li Xuanyu’s parents.

If it’s really too much, he wouldn’t say anything openly, but privately, he definitely wouldn’t let the other party get away with it.

Even a clay figurine has its temper, much less he’s just an ordinary person, also experiencing all sorts of emotions.

Under the bright city sky, a waning moon hung up high.

Whether it’s a full moon or not, it holds another kind of charm.

To workers from afar across the country, it’s anticipating.

Soon it’s time to go home for the New Year, the year’s worth of toil is relieved in this moment.

No matter how bitter or tiring, as long as you return to your warm little home, everything, all the struggles and exhaustion, are worthwhile.

Mo Jingchun didn’t gaze at the moon, after a whole day of annual meetings, even though he didn’t do much work, laughing all day made Mo Jingchun tired, his face even stiffened.

After a warm shower, Mo Jingchun climbed into bed. After sending a WeChat message to Li Xuanyu, he fell asleep with his phone still in hand.

A few minutes later, in the half-empty message box, two words were input automatically and sent out.

"Good night."

In the dark, Zero’s mouth slightly curved, as if he had accomplished something important.

Even the most beautiful relationship needs maintenance from both sides; one-sided effort will ultimately lead to separate paths.

My careless Boss, oh dear, falling asleep just like that.

Closing his eyes, Zero put his body into standby, recharging.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, it’s Little New Year’s Day in the south.

Today is Mo Jingchun’s first visit to Li Xuanyu’s home, also the day all employees at Candy Technology start their holiday.

Except for positions that require a presence, most employees choose today to head home, taking the satisfying year-end bonus and joyfully returning home for New Year.

Having packed her luggage ahead of time, Li Xuanyu woke up early.

After tidying the room, it was just past seven.

......

In a neighboring dormitory building, Zhou Xing stood in front of the mirror adjusting his clothes.

Looking at himself over and over, Zhou Xing rechecked and said, "Does this outfit look okay?"

"You just can’t stop thinking, if you ask me, even wearing anything casually, nobody would say anything."

Zhou Xing chuckled and said, "You don’t get it, if I dress too shabbily, how will Li Xuanyu’s relatives view Xiaochun?"

"For the boss of Xiaochun to not care for his own Uncle? Isn’t that reasonable?"

"Besides, I’m happy wearing the clothes my daughter bought."

As he tidied his blanket, Aunt blankly glanced and said:

"More than two thousand, and what did you buy?"

"Look at you, no wonder your daughter often says you still have old-fashioned ideas."

"I’m looking afar..."

Without even looking, Zhou Xing said, "It’s Xiaochun calling."

"Hmm, better answer quickly."

After a few words on the phone, Zhou Xing walked out with two packs of Huazi.

Meanwhile, Li Xuanyu also pushed her suitcase out of the dormitory, closing the door.

Five white cars parked in a row below the dormitory building.

Passing employees naturally knew it was the boss’s convoy, curiously glancing over.

Eventually, seeing Li Xuanyu, they suddenly understood, apparently the boss was waiting for Li Xuanyu.

Mo Jingchun stepped forward to take the suitcase, "You can ride with me in the second car."

"I’m fine with that."

After loading Li Xuanyu’s suitcase, Uncle Zhou Xing also came out from the dormitory building.

Seeing Uncle, Mo Jingchun pulled a pack of Huazi from the car.

Stuffing the cigarettes into Uncle’s hand, Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "Uncle, there are some rules us young folks don’t know, please give them more thought."

"This many cigarettes are not necessary."

"Uncle, you shouldn’t be so courteous."

"Hahaha, well then, I won’t be polite."
