Can't Win

"Have you not washed your face yet?"

Seeing the tear tracks on Candy's face, Mo Jingchun couldn't help asking.

Candy, who had just sat down on the sofa to rest for a bit, froze. "Is it that obvious? I rubbed my face several times with my hands."

Mo Jingchun patted his forehead and said helplessly, "Those tear tracks are so obvious. Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. We're heading out soon."

"Okay!"

After changing her clothes, she'd run downstairs to bicker with Zero without washing her face or brushing her teeth. She'd stood there for ten minutes and completely forgotten about it.

As Candy ran upstairs, Mo Jingchun shot Zero, who was pretending to look innocent, a sidelong glance.

"You're a little rascal too. You didn't have to make Candy cry."

"Hehe."

Mo Jingchun shook his head and pursed his lips. "Neither of you is ever easy to deal with."

"One's a big brainiac pretending to be dumb, and the other's practically all-knowing but pretending not to know a thing."

Zero nodded in agreement, making Mo Jingchun's knuckles itch.

"Why get mad at a child?" Li Xuanyu kept shooting Zero meaningful glances.

About ten minutes later, Candy came out of the elevator with bread in her left hand and Small Suitcase in her right.

Fresh as a daisy, Candy blinked and said cheerfully, "Let's go!"

Glancing at the bread in her hand, Mo Jingchun smiled calmly. "You were planning to eat bread for breakfast?"

Candy raised her hand and said generously, "It's fine. Skipping a proper breakfast once won't hurt."

Listening to Mo Jingchun and Candy, Li Xuanyu finally understood why Zero liked teasing Candy.

Like owner, like Artificial Intelligence. They'd both inherited the same traits.

"Oh, what a shame. I just bought you breakfast."
