Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 764 - 762: Little Grey, Crestfallen and Disheartened

"Zero, light this one. This firework is pretty!"

Candy placed a firework on the ground and quickly ran away, signaling Zero to light it.

Her playful yet timid demeanor unknowingly made Mo Jingchun smile, with eyes full of affection.

However, at that moment, Zero suddenly said:

"Save them for tomorrow night, New Year’s Eve, otherwise, we won’t have any to play with tomorrow."

Candy glanced at the pile in the living room and immediately said confidently:

"Light it! This is the last one for tonight."

"Are you sure it’s the last one?" Zero repeatedly confirmed.

"Really, the last one!"

"Alright, I’ll light it then."

The fireworks burst into a beautiful array of colors, and everyone gazed up at the starry sky, watching the dazzling display beneath the stars.

As the last firework exploded, Mo Jingchun laughed and said, "Okay, let’s save some for tomorrow. Others need to rest too."

"Disturbing others’ rest isn’t polite."

The little ones had already run back inside. Mo Jingchun took one last look at the dark surroundings before turning to go inside himself.

The next morning, Candy and Zero were all smiles from ear to ear.

Especially Zero, who felt nothing special without a body before.

But this year was different; the feeling of receiving red envelopes was absolutely thrilling.

Received some New Year’s money from boss early in the morning, it was simply exhilarating.

The most important thing was that from morning till night, they received ten red envelopes!

Sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy and Zero, excitedly opening red envelopes right in front of him, his eyes revealing envy.

New Year’s money... He wanted it too.

The amount didn’t matter; what mattered was someone giving it to him.

Back when his parents were around, no matter how old he was, he always received New Year’s money on the morning of New Year’s Eve.

Thinking back now, time really flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Candy was already in elementary school.

"Two thousand two... two thousand three..."

Watching Candy count money like this, Mo Jingchun felt anxious for her.

"Why don’t you just count the bills directly? It’d be harder to make a mistake."

Upon hearing that, Candy looked up at her brother in surprise.

"Oh, right!"

"Two thousand three is just 23... 24... 25..."

Raising an eyebrow, Mo Jingchun interjected, "Can you not count red envelopes right in front of me? The number of red envelopes you received is the number I gave out."

"In simple terms, the money you received in red envelopes is actually my money."

Candy and Zero gave Mo Jingchun a wary look. The next moment, before Mo Jingchun could say more, Candy and Zero grabbed their red envelopes and ran away.

Their speed was something Mo Jingchun had never seen before.

"Was that really necessary?"

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but laugh; he was only joking. He wouldn’t actually take their New Year’s money.

What’s a child’s is a child’s. You shouldn’t think a child has no say just because they’re young.

And don’t assume they won’t care or remember when they grow up.

After about ten minutes, the two little ones came back downstairs empty-handed.

Looking at Candy and Zero, standing in front of him with their hands behind their backs, Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "What, you’re not afraid I’ll confiscate your red envelopes?"

"Hehe, brother wouldn’t do that. You never took them before."

Mo Jingchun chuckled softly, "I guess you two want to go outside and play with fireworks, right?"

"Hehe, I knew brother understands Guoguo the best."

Rolling his eyes, Mo Jingchun said with mock annoyance:

"It seems you only say nice things when you need a favor."

"Off you go, don’t disturb me while I watch the Spring Festival Gala. Go play by yourselves."

"Just don’t set the mountain on fire."

"Of course! ’Set fire to a mountain, get a deep jail time,’ Guoguo doesn’t want brother to go to jail."

Mo Jingchun was bewildered. Goodness, listen to those words, only a true sister would say something like that.

If you set a mountain on fire, I’d go to jail!

From a guardian’s perspective, it makes sense.

But why did Mo Jingchun feel like Candy seemed a bit smug about it?

"Zero, if you set the mountain on fire, I won’t let you off."

Zero, who received a glare from Mo Jingchun, looked innocent and said, "Boss, trust my technique!"

Outside, the two kids were setting off one firework after another, having a blast.

It’s unclear if it was because Zero had warned Little Grey, but tonight Little Grey sat quietly on the porch.

Until...

Little Grey was stunned as Candy took something from the house that it usually ate from. With a loud boom, the bowl flew into the sky and disappeared into the darkness.

From the sound of it, it seemed to land in the river.

In the yard, Candy searched everywhere for the dog’s bowl.

Zero couldn’t help but say, "No need to look. The river’s already carried it away."

Candy froze for a moment and said, "Oh no, what will Little Grey use to eat tomorrow?"

"Shouldn’t you first worry about Big Bro’s questioning?"

"Oh, it’s New Year, Big Bro won’t hit me. At most, he’ll scold me a little. I’ve got experience with this."

Seeing Candy acting so nonchalant, Zero thought to himself, "Could it be New Year every day?"

"The bill! It’ll have to be settled eventually, as the saying goes, ’You can avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth.’

"Woof woof woof~"

Little Grey stood dejectedly by the river, barking endlessly.

Watching this, Candy felt a bit embarrassed.

Rubbing her hands in the cold wind, Candy softly said, "Little Grey, how about you make do with Bun’s bowl for now?"

"Woof woof woof~"

There was silence outside, no more firework sounds, only Little Grey’s endless barking. Feeling puzzled, Mo Jingchun got up and went outside.

In the yard, he saw Candy constantly comforting Little Grey.

After listening quietly for a while, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but have the corners of his mouth twitch.

No doubt she’s Mo Jingchun’s sister, doing at six what he didn’t dare at twelve.

The difference was he blew up their uncle’s dog’s bowl.

"Ahem~"

A cough, and the surroundings fell silent.

Candy stiffly turned her head to look at her brother, "Brother, why are you here?"

Trying to suppress a smile, Mo Jingchun pretended to be stern and said:

"The thing Little Grey eats from is gone, why do you think I’m here?"

Candy, unsure of what to say, suddenly hugged Little Grey’s head and said, "Little Grey, quickly say it’s okay."

Now thoroughly questioning its life, Little Grey contemplated where it went wrong.

It was wrong because it shouldn’t have watched the spectacle, it was wrong for not hiding its bowl in advance, and wrong for not stopping them.

Mo Jingchun glared at Candy, "When you make a mistake, you should own up to it. Always trying to push the blame onto others is not the way."

"If it weren’t New Year’s, I would sit down and have a real talk with you."

Seeing her brother like that, Candy started to panic.

This time, Candy clearly realized where she went wrong and understood why her brother was upset.

"Brother, I won’t dare next time..."

"Next time?"

"No! I won’t dare in the future!"

Taking a glance at Zero, trying to minimize his presence, Mo Jingchun spoke with mock anger, "You’re the same, possessing a supercomputer and unable to simulate the trajectory of a flying dog bowl."
