Teething World's Ceiling

Yang Xiaoyu opened her mouth, originally wanting to persuade him, but in the end, she just sighed.

This matter really couldn't be forced.

"Alright then. If you change your mind before Friday, you can submit the application to me anytime."

Mo Jingchun, holding his sister Candy, nodded and agreed, "Okay, if I decide to apply, I'll bring the application to the ground floor of your dormitory building."

Apply? What a joke, he wouldn't even consider it.

Putting aside the fact that he wouldn't be short of money soon, even if the cooperation took a long time, Mo Jingchun still wouldn't apply for the student grant for impoverished students.

From the very beginning, even before signing the contract, Mo Jingchun had no intention of applying for the student grant.

Mo Jingchun didn't want to be photographed spending money one day and end up on the headlines, becoming the target of complaints from the public.

In the afternoon, when he went to the classroom for class, Mo Jingchun hadn't even sat down yet when Candy was coaxed and tricked away by the girls.

It had been over two months, almost three months, since the start of the semester. After such a long time, the girls were still willing to help Mo Jingchun look after his sister Candy. To be honest, Mo Jingchun himself felt impressed.

Did they really think Candy was a good baby and that easy to look after? If anyone really thought that, Mo Jingchun could only tell them that looking after the little one, unless she was asleep, there was no such thing as "easy to look after."

The only thing to be thankful for was that the little one had never cried in the classroom, only occasionally babbled a few words during class, making the teacher and classmates laugh.

In the Discrete Mathematics class, the professor was explaining graph theory on the podium. Li Xuanyu, who had already self-studied graph theory and was holding Mo Jingchun's sister Candy, wasn't really listening to the lecture. Instead, she was looking at Candy, who was sitting on her lap, seriously gnawing on a teething stick and making squeaking sounds, with some worry.

Oh my god! Li Xuanyu couldn't believe her eyes. That hard piece of wood had actually been gnawed into two grooves by the little one!

And the more Candy gnawed, the more energetic she seemed. The squeaking sound even made Li Xuanyu feel scared.

Would the little one bite off her only 5 baby teeth?!

At first, Li Xuanyu tried to hide the teething stick hanging around Candy's neck so she wouldn't gnaw on it.

As soon as she made a move, the little one became unhappy, frowning her tiny eyebrows, looking like she was about to cry.

Moreover, even when offered bright red strawberries in exchange for the teething stick, Candy refused.

This class was simply an ordeal for Li Xuanyu. It was the first time since she came to Jing University that Li Xuanyu looked forward to class ending early.

Unable to swap the teething stick Candy was gnawing on, the only thing Li Xuanyu could do was constantly wipe away the saliva that flowed out when the little one gnawed on the teething stick with a tissue.

The squeaking sound of the little one gnawing on the teething stick wasn't very loud, but it wasn't quiet either. At least the girls sitting next to Li Xuanyu and in the row behind her could hear it.

While Zhou Huiling and the others were shocked, they also felt a sense of trepidation.

My goodness, do children gnaw their teeth this fiercely?

If the teething stick hadn't been quite large, Li Xuanyu would have suspected that Candy would shove the entire teething stick into her mouth to bite, instead of just gnawing on the edges of the teething stick like she was doing now.

For the entire class, Li Xuanyu didn't know how she endured it. As soon as the professor turned around and walked out of the classroom after class, Li Xuanyu immediately walked quickly to Mo Jingchun's side, holding Candy who was still gnawing on the teething stick, and placed Candy in Mo Jingchun's hands.

"What's wrong?" Mo Jingchun took his sister Candy with a bewildered look, staring blankly at the frightened Li Xuanyu.

Normally, the girls wouldn't bring his sister Candy back until the last class ended. What was going on today?

Zhou Huiling poked her head out from behind Li Xuanyu and pointed at the teething stick in Candy's hand, saying, "I know, I know, you'll know if you look at that teething stick."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun lowered his head and carefully looked at the teething stick his sister Candy was gnawing on. No matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"Hey, wait, Mo Jingchun, didn't you notice that your sister has gnawed two little grooves into the teething stick? Just now in class, Candy was gnawing on the teething stick really loudly."

"That's it? Oh, my sister has been gnawing on it for several days. She's probably teething, and it's itchy and uncomfortable."

Mo Jingchun shrugged and said calmly, "At first, I was worried too, afraid the little one would gnaw off her only four baby teeth. But it's clear I was overthinking it."

"And during this time, I basically have to change Candy's bottle nipple every three days. Every time I change it, the nipple that Candy has bitten through can be used as a showerhead."

"Are you sure it's okay? Candy was gnawing really loudly!"

Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've consulted about it, and it's really fine."

"Oh, then I'm relieved." After saying that, Li Xuanyu snatched Candy, who was engrossed in gnawing on the teething stick, from Mo Jingchun's arms again and left without looking back.

Leaving Mo Jingchun sitting in his seat, staring blankly with a face full of question marks.

Mo Jingchun: ???

Under the streetlights, Mo Jingchun walked unhurriedly, holding his sister Candy, who had fallen asleep after getting tired of gnawing on the teething stick.

As time passed, the days were getting shorter and it was getting dark earlier.

When he first arrived at Jing University, he could still see the sun that hadn't completely set after the last class of the day.

But by mid-November, after the last class of the day, the sky had long since darkened, and the streetlights were already on.

Just then, Mo Jingchun, who was walking back to the apartment building, felt his phone vibrating continuously in his jeans pocket.

Holding Candy with one hand, Mo Jingchun took out his phone from his pocket and saw a call from a strange number, which looked exactly like a spam call.

Without even thinking, Mo Jingchun's hand reflexively hung up the call.

Just as Mo Jingchun was about to put his phone back in his pocket, the phone started vibrating again. Mo Jingchun looked down and immediately chuckled.

In this day and age, are there still such dedicated spam call salespeople?

Mo Jingchun thought that if he were this person's boss, he would definitely promote and raise this employee's salary.

"Hello?"

"It's me."

Mo Jingchun frowned. This spam call salesperson wasn't playing by the rules. He started with "It's me," making it sound like they knew each other and were very familiar.

"Who are you?"

Originally, Mo Jingchun was planning to hang up, but for some reason, he wanted to tease this person.

On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Aijun's mouth twitched. How long had it been? He had forgotten his voice so quickly.

"It's me, Zhang Aijun. We just met yesterday."

Mo Jingchun: What?

"Ahem, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, you guys too. Why is your phone number set up like a spam call? I thought it was a spam call."

Zhang Aijun wouldn't tell Mo Jingchun that the phone number was designed to have this effect.

"It's like this, there's a project that requires specialized optimization of the Attitude Balance Algorithm. I wanted to ask how long you would need for the specialized optimization, so I can arrange whether you come to the site or do the optimization from home."

"Send the parameter data over. It will take at most an hour to complete the specialized algorithm optimization. If there are any subsequent issues, I'll help you with fine-tuning."
