Feeling Great

P.S. Thanks to Liu Lang De Feng for the generous tip.

By the time Mo Jingchun got back to the apartment building, he was drenched in sweat. Whether it was from running or from the sun beating down on him, he couldn't tell.

As usual, Mo Jingchun put his little sister Candy in the stroller, then heated up the millet porridge left over from the morning. He made himself a simple plate of egg fried rice.

But when he tried to feed Candy the porridge, Mo Jingchun was completely baffled.

Candy usually loved millet porridge and never turned it down. Yet just now, she had frowned and pushed the spoon aside with her little hand.

What was going on? Was she sick? This had never happened before.

Alarmed, Mo Jingchun immediately pulled out his phone and searched online.

"When a child occasionally refuses to eat, it may be because they're already full..."

Already full...

Mo Jingchun lifted the hem of the little one's shirt and stared at her belly. He was stunned.

Candy's little tummy was round and bulging. Just how much had those women fed his little sister?!

No wonder the little one wouldn't eat her porridge. Where was there room left in that belly?

After finally getting the little one to sleep, Mo Jingchun ate his egg fried rice and opened QQ to message the class monitor, Yang Xiaoyu.

"Class monitor, how much did you all feed my little sister?"

Ding, ding, ding~

"???"

"What's wrong?"

"I only gave her an apple. I don't know how much they fed her in the class after that."

Ahem! Mo Jingchun choked on his egg fried rice at Yang Xiaoyu's reply and coughed a mouthful of it all over the table.

An entire apple! What the heck!

With an apple that big, Mo Jingchun would give Candy at most a fifth of it. He'd usually eat the rest himself.

He'd never once fed her a whole apple at a time.

What made Mo Jingchun even more uneasy was that the little one had also been holding a big strawberry after class. She'd only nibbled the tip, but then she'd stuffed the rest into his mouth.

Not knowing what to say, Mo Jingchun silently sent Yang Xiaoyu a photo he'd just taken of Candy's round little belly.

When Yang Xiaoyu received the picture, she thought it was adorable at first. But once she realized it was little Candy's belly, she broke into a cold sweat.

She hurried over to Deng Lanlan's dorm room next door and asked if Deng Lanlan had fed Candy anything afterward.

Deng Lanlan had just climbed into bed for a nap. She looked at the anxious class monitor, Yang Xiaoyu, with confusion.

"I did. I brought a box of strawberries, and little Candy ate several."

Yang Xiaoyu sucked in a sharp breath. "Anything else?"

"I don't think so." Deng Lanlan sounded uncertain.

"Xuan Yu and the others brought snacks too, but little Candy pushed them away. She didn't seem to like them."

Yang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched. It wasn't that Candy didn't like them. She'd already been full by then. As for the strawberries, she'd probably eaten them because she loved them.

"What's wrong, class monitor? Were the strawberries I bought bad? Did Candy get a stomachache from eating them?"

Deng Lanlan panicked. At the same time, she was furious at the fruit stand owner for selling bad fruit.

"No, that's not it."

Hearing that, Deng Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was nothing wrong with the strawberries, it was fine. Otherwise, she'd have felt awful.

"But... sigh! You'd better see for yourself. Mo Jingchun just sent me this."

The girls in the dorm had just relaxed, but Yang Xiaoyu's words made their hearts leap into their throats again.

They all leaned over to peer at Yang Xiaoyu's phone.

"That's what happened. We fed the little one so much that she got stuffed. Mo Jingchun only noticed when she wouldn't eat her lunch porridge."

"We should tell the others too. We can't let our good intentions cause trouble, and a child's nutrition is important. She can't skip her porridge."

A little over ten minutes later, the girls returned to their dorms. They all made a mental note not to feed Candy too much.

At two in the afternoon, the little one was still asleep in the bedroom. Mo Jingchun, whose backpack now held only two books, gently picked up his little sister, closed the door, and left the apartment building.

As soon as Mo Jingchun reached the classroom, the girls crowded around him. Seeing that Candy was fine and merely asleep, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's with those looks?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Li Xuanyu hesitated, then asked, "Mo Jingchun, could I hold her?"

Going by the order they'd agreed on in the dorm, it should have been Li Xuanyu's turn.

Mo Jingchun looked down at his still-sleeping sister and gave Li Xuanyu an apologetic smile. "Could you wait until she wakes up?"

"If she wakes up and doesn't see me right away, she'll cry. And she's impossible to soothe once she starts."

"Oh... all right."

After the girls moved away, Mo Jingchun let out a breath.

He hadn't been lying. The little tyke had been like this ever since their mother passed away. Whenever she woke up and didn't see Mo Jingchun, she'd cry until she saw him.

A little after three in the afternoon, Candy woke up naturally. Seeing the familiar face, she didn't cry or fuss; she simply turned her head to look around.

But Mo Jingchun was holding her flat on her back, and the desk blocked most of her view. No matter how much she turned her head, she could only see so much.

Mo Jingchun only realized Candy had woken up when she scratched his hand.

He checked the time. There were still more than ten minutes until the break between classes. Setting down his black gel pen, he reached out to feel her diaper.

"Good, she hasn't wet herself yet."

But the very next second, Candy proved him wrong. The smile on Mo Jingchun's face froze.

She'd wet herself...

The afternoon went fairly smoothly. Li Xuanyu took Candy away to change her diaper.

After the last class of the day, the little koala climbed back into Mo Jingchun's arms. He immediately felt her little tummy.

Good, good. They probably hadn't fed her anything that afternoon.

That evening, when Mo Jingchun fed her millet porridge and milk, the little one ate and drank as usual.

"So, how did your first day of class go? Was everything all right?"

Li Na was in a very good mood. The main reason was that all the teachers had been praising the students in the 21 Software Class.

As the counselor for the 21 Software Class, she was overjoyed to hear people complimenting the students in her class.

Mo Jingchun saw a WeChat message from his counselor, Na Jie, and replied at once.

"Everything went smoothly. My classmates and the professors all seem to like the little one."

"That's good."
