Green All Around

Under his sunglasses, Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes. It was impossible for him to get angry. It wasn't worth it.

She hadn't been very busy with work lately. At most, she'd just wanted to go out and have fun.

After all... starting next month, Zhou Yaling would be entering another two-month nightmare.

The new batch of interns would keep her so busy she wouldn't know which way was up.

Mo Jingchun pinched Candy's cheek. His cold hand made her shove him away in a huff.

"Big Brother, your hand is freezing."

"Is it?"

"Mm-hmm."

The next moment, while Candy was completely off guard, Mo Jingchun grabbed her neck with both hands.

"Hahaha, so warm!"

Candy reflexively scrunched up her neck, her eyes wide with shock.

After finally pushing his hands away again, Candy shielded her neck with both hands and glared at him.

"Big Brother, if you keep doing that, I'm going to get mad."

Mo Jingchun pouted and lay back down.

Just then, Candy noticed that Zero's turbo-charged legs were pedaling the boat more slowly.

She tilted her head and blinked.

"Keep going faster!"

At that, Zero spread her hands helplessly. "I can't. We have to save power. Who knows what time we'll get home today?"

"Oh!"

Candy nodded. "I'll give it a try."

The little boat came to a slow stop in the middle of the lake. With Zero's help, Candy sat down.

"Ya~ ya~ ya~"

Candy struggled to pedal, and the boat began to move slowly.

It was moving at a speed fit for a tortoise-and-hare race, and it might just barely take second place.

Before long, Candy said with an effortful gasp, "Why is it so heavy?"

"Is it? Seems fine to me. I only have to pedal lightly, and the boat goes flying."
