After opening the backend protection software, the interface was extremely simple, even ugly, completely devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

However, this did not hinder its protective capabilities.

After checking the backend logs, Mo Jingchun rubbed his chin, somewhat doubting whether the protection software he developed was not very good.

Otherwise, after plugging in the USB drive Zhang Aijun gave him just now, it neither left anything on the laptop nor had any records of other files being copied.

Mo Jingchun had even prepared fake files, but he didn't expect them not to be copied.

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun stopped thinking about it. Once a person thinks too much, they become troubled, and all sorts of problems come knocking.

Looking at the time, it was already past ten o'clock at night. It was no wonder the little one in his arms, who had been fussing, had stopped long ago and fallen asleep on her own without anyone coaxing her.

After settling Candy, Mo Jingchun took a hot shower and lay in bed. It was almost eleven o'clock.

He had originally planned to find merchants to purchase the various parts for the Smart Anti-Shake Spoon tonight, but now it seemed the plan would have to be postponed by a day.

As Mo Jingchun turned off the desk lamp, the bedroom darkened.

With his backpack on, canvas bag in hand, the teething stick that had been sterilized with boiling water re-hung around the little one's neck, he picked up the little darling from the stroller and set off!

"Morning."

"Morning."

"Hey? Mo Jingchun, wait for me, let's walk together." Mo Jingchun turned around and saw that the person calling out to him was Yang Changming, the Sports Committee Member, with whom he usually had very little verbal communication.

"What is it, Yang Changming?"

Yang Changming smiled, first taking an apple from his jacket pocket and putting it into Candy's hand.

"I left in a hurry this morning, the apple hasn't been washed yet."

After saying that, Yang Changming continued, "You took a leave of absence that day, right? That day I announced something in class, and you're probably the only one who doesn't know."

"Sports meet?" The first thing that came to Mo Jingchun's mind that the Sports Committee Member would announce was the sports meet.

"Yes, yes, that's right, the sports meet. At the end of this month, the school will hold its annual school sports meet. Do you want to participate? The main thing is participation."

Mo Jingchun awkwardly smiled and refused.

"Let's not, as you can see, I always have a little attachment with me."

Mo Jingchun could only use his younger sister Candy as a shield. He couldn't possibly tell Yang Changming with a confident face that he, Mo Jingchun, wasn't good at any sports.

Upon being rejected by Mo Jingchun, Yang Changming's expression also stiffened a bit.

Yang Changming was also suffering inwardly. Among all the class monitors, the Sports Committee Member was usually the happiest, but when it came time for the school sports meet, Yang Changming realized how truly painful it was.

Hardly anyone in the class voluntarily signed up for the school sports meet.

Otherwise, Yang Changming wouldn't have sought out Mo Jingchun, who had to bring his child with him every day.

During the lunch break, Mo Jingchun was browsing online stores, searching for the materials he needed. Mo Jingchun was looking at the product details of a linkage device when he heard Candy, who was supposed to be sleeping, crying.

Turning around, Mo Jingchun was instantly stunned, so shocked that he forgot to utter a single word of his national essence.

Don't ask why the little one suddenly cried; the answer is that the little one made herself cry.

She's really ruthless; she pulled her own hair so hard she cried, but still wouldn't let go.

When she gets serious, she doesn't even spare herself!

"Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, let go, let go of it."

Mo Jingchun tried to pry open the little hand gripping the hair while comforting her.

But the little one's hand was clenched too tightly to pry open, and Mo Jingchun didn't dare to use too much force on that tender little hand.

"Oh no, Candy, let go quickly."

"Ah ah ah," Candy cried uncontrollably, but still wouldn't let go.

"Let go, let go."

"Ah hum hum hum hum~"

Mo Jingchun didn't know whether to cry or laugh; he was truly caught between the two.

Finally, Mo Jingchun used a teething stick to get the little one to release her chubby right hand that was pulling her hair so hard.

It seemed the little one wouldn't be sleeping anymore this afternoon.

Mo Jingchun fetched a basin of water and helped the little one, whose face was covered in tears, wash up, to prevent her cute little face from getting chapped if the cold wind blew on it when they went out in the afternoon.

"You little silly goose, why are you pulling your own hair?"

"You're using all your strength, like when you're drinking milk."

"Do you think it wouldn't hurt?"

Mo Jingchun was like a mother, taking care of the little one while constantly muttering.

In a usually quiet courtyard house with three entrances and three exits within the Second Ring Road of Jingcheng, it was exceptionally lively today. The entire extended family had rushed back from all over the world.

All because today was the 70th birthday of the old man, Li ZhengBang!

In the courtyard, Li Na sat on an old wooden stool, holding her phone in front of her still charming old mom.

"Mom, Mom, look quickly, isn't this baby cute?"

"Mom, let me tell you, Candy is just too cute, especially those big eyes."

Tang Xiaomei looked at the adorable baby in her daughter's phone with great envy, but when she thought about her daughter's situation, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Daughter, don't count on me anymore. I really can't find anyone suitable to introduce to you."

"You say you are too, which family's girl was as mischievous as you when she was little, flicking the little worms of all the young masters in Jingcheng? They all have psychological shadows. Let alone arranging blind dates for you, as soon as they hear your name, they run away."

Li Na waved her hand, "Mom, I didn't know any better back then, and besides, I'm not in a hurry."

"I just think children are so cute, Mom, don't you think so?"

"Look, you're not even urging my younger brother. He's been married for a year now and still hasn't had a baby for you to look after."

Li Yuanfang, who was cracking melon seeds and sitting with his wife watching his older sister's drama, had the smile on his face freeze.

How did the topic suddenly shift to him? As the younger brother, he was already married. Shouldn't the most urgent matter be for his older sister to find a partner and get married?

Li Yuanfang felt the same way as his wife, wanting to enjoy two more years before having a child.

"That's right, when are you two planning to have a child?"

As soon as Tang Xiaomei said this, the aunts and uncles next to her started urging them to have a baby.

"It's been over a year, you two should have a child by now. Can our Old Li family not afford to raise one or something?"

"Your mom thinks about taking care of a child every day."

Li Yuanfang's scalp tingled from being lectured. He whispered, "My sister isn't married yet, is she? No rush."

"When will your sister get married? If she doesn't get married her whole life, are you going to not have children your whole life?"

"Exactly, exactly." Li Na wasn't ashamed of this; instead, she was proud of it and raised both hands in agreement with her aunt's words.

Yet, no one actually retorted against Li Na, because everyone had accepted their fate. They wouldn't arrange blind dates for Li Na even if it killed them.

"The company has been very busy lately. Once things calm down, I'll discuss it with Xue Er."
