Chapter 575: Is It Salty?
Candy stopped crying and opened her eyes wide.
In disbelief, she said, "Brother, Guoguo seems to have heard you laugh just now."
Mo Jingchun, who had already put away his smile, blinked in confusion.
"Nope."
"Brother, you even blinked your eyes."
"Wah wah wah~ Brother, you laughed at Guoguo."
"Wah wah wah~"
Holding onto Mo Jingchun’s thigh, Candy was so upset that she forcefully butted her head against his leg, just like an angry little calf.
Mo Jingchun’s lips twitched as he gently waved to Wild Wolf and Feiyan.
Seeing this, Wild Wolf nodded, patted the dazed Feiyan, and led her out of the office.
After they left, Xia Xiaomin considerately closed the soundproof office door.
Hehe, Xia Xiaomin is such a thoughtful big sister, paying attention to the little details.
Once the door was closed, Candy felt free to cry loudly.
Apart from the few who knew, who would know that Candy lost a tooth and was crying sadly?
"Oh oh oh, let brother have a look, really, in a moment brother will have the parking barriers taken down."
"Pfft~ Yes." Candy turned her head away, not wanting to look at her brother.
Brother is just too exasperating.
Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮
Sitting at her desk watching the show, Xia Xiaomin silently took out a piece of white paper to note down the dismantling of the parking barriers.
Xia Xiaomin didn’t think that what the boss just said was false at all.
In this regard, the boss has always been one to follow through.
For a moment, Xia Xiaomin couldn’t help but mourn for the parking barriers for three seconds.
I wonder which scrap dealer will end up laughing last.
After Mo Jingchun promised countless things, Candy let go of his hands and wiped her tears with her hand.
"Look, your nose is running, wipe it quickly."
Mo Jingchun pulled out two tissues, ready to help Candy wipe her nose and her tear-streaked face.
The next moment, Mo Jingchun’s hand paused in mid-air.
Under Mo Jingchun’s bewildered look, Candy sniffled and sucked the runny nose back up.
Of course, that wasn’t the most crucial part.
The key was, Mo Jingchun saw Candy’s throat move.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, thinking her brother would wipe her tears, he remained motionless.
Slightly discontented, Candy hummed and took the tissue herself.
"Is it salty?" Mo Jingchun blinked curiously.
Although he used to do the same as a kid, he stopped sniffing after his mom scolded him once.
Wiping away her tears, Candy looked up at her brother dazedly.
"What’s salty?"
Quickly, Candy also realized.
Just now, she might have...seemed...probably sniffed her snot.
And...
No wonder there was a salty taste in her mouth.
"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮"
Candy turned and walked towards the coffee table; she would never admit she had swallowed her snot just now.
Under the watchful eyes of Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin, Candy fished out a disposable cup from under the table.
Only a faint "plonk" was heard, as a shiny tooth was thrown into the disposable cup.
"Ahem, as the saying goes, don’t throw away lost teeth randomly; upper teeth should be thrown under the bed, and lower teeth on the roof."
Mo Jingchun clearly saw Candy’s body pause.
The next moment, Candy, holding the cup, ran into her bedroom alone and closed the door.
Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin exchanged a glance and laughed together.
"Ha ha ha, luckily it’s an upper-front tooth; if it were a lower-front tooth, tossing it on the roof would be tricky."
A three-story villa, could the little one really throw it that high?
Mo Jingchun found it impossible, someone in his teens might manage it.
Watching the boss laugh heartily, Xia Xiaomin couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
In dangerous times, the boss would shield Candy.
When there was no danger, the boss was the biggest danger to Candy.
The boss’s routine of teasing his sister.
Especially Zhou Yaling, who got teased by the boss the most.
Inside the bedroom, Candy was about to throw the tooth under the bed when the door opened.
Seeing her brother leaning against the door with arms crossed, she was startled.
Her little head nearly bumped into the mattress.
"Just to mention, when throwing teeth, your feet should be together, otherwise, they might grow crooked."
Candy froze for a second, then gasped!
How could her brother forget such crucial advice?
The thought of crooked front teeth made Candy shiver.
It was terrifying.
Taking a deep breath, Candy kept her feet neatly together.
After a long time, making up her mind, she gently tossed the tooth under the bed.
Having completed the task, Candy lay on the floor and peeked under the bed to confirm the tooth was there, satisfied, she nodded.
A little after three in the afternoon, Candy returned to the accident site.
The difference was, this time there were a few more people.
Brother, Xia, and lots of uncles wearing the same clothes.
Candy, shrinking her neck, stood quietly on the parking lot, now clear of ice, watching the uncles with tools dismantle the thing that cost her a tooth.
Brother said, those are called parking barriers, and whether there or not, it’s the same.
Standing behind the boss, Xia Xiaomin was used to this; it was standard procedure for the boss.
But when you think about it, these barriers didn’t serve much purpose in this parking lot.
The number of vehicles entering the tech park isn’t that high; most of the time, apart from the cafeteria’s delivery trucks, no other cars park here.
According to the original plan, this area was supposed to be where the boss would build an elementary school.
For some reason, the boss gave up on that idea, deciding to send Candy to a public primary school.
Watching Candy smile, Mo Jingchun, hands stuffed in his down jacket pockets, laughingly asked:
"Feeling better?"
"Uh-huh." Candy nodded vigorously.
Additionally, Candy was surprised to find out that nodding while saying "uh-huh" didn’t let any air through!
Having grasped the trick, Candy began trying other pronunciations.
Soon, she gave up.
Because Candy found, commonly used words without air leaks were surprisingly few.
Mo Jingchun smiled indifferently; without front teeth, speaking air-tight was nearly impossible.
It was already good not to lisp while speaking.
With many hands, it took less than half an hour to dismantle all the barriers in the parking lot.
Seeing a cart full of barriers, Candy grinned.
When she smiled, her teeth were exposed.
Realizing this, Candy quickly covered her mouth.
On the way back to the office, Mo Jingchun suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the absent-minded Feiyan.
"Don’t overthink it, the little one is mischievous, a little bump is nothing."
"This really has nothing to do with you."
"Look, even White, who’s constantly watching, hadn’t reacted, let alone a human."
Hearing this, Feiyan opened her mouth, there were many things she wanted to say, but when the words reached her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.
Mo Jingchun smiled and patted Feiyan on the shoulder.
Tilting her head, Candy scratched her head and stepped forward to pat Feiyan’s hand as well.
