Mo Jingchun was seen off by a group of people. Being stared at by so many senior students with peculiar gazes, Mo Jingchun felt uncomfortable, goosebumps rising all over.
All he did was mention "scholarship" offhandedly, was such a big reaction necessary?
What Mo Jingchun didn't know was that after he left, the senior students continued discussing him.
"Do you think this junior has some skills?"
"Anyone who can get into our university through the college entrance exam has some skills, but to earn a scholarship each semester, just having some skills isn't enough. You'd need a lot of them, maybe around ten. And if you meet a really tough competitor, even ten wouldn't be enough."
"Hehe, Yang Wenzhao, why do I feel like you're using me as a comparison, huh?" Zhang Hui Zhen clenched her fist and stared fiercely at Yang Wenzhao.
The next moment, Zhang Hui Zhen deflated like a wilting eggplant.
"Sigh~ I really don't know if it's our luck or misfortune to have encountered a talent like Wei Luxue."
Yang Wenzhao pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said in a very calm tone: "Why misfortune? At least we've bagged many honors, the students from other majors are envious of us."
"Hehe~"
"Don't be so sarcastic. Actually, if you think about it, I reckon she might apply for early graduation. Without such a 'catfish' in the group, that sense of urgency might disappear, but is that really a good thing?"
Zhang Hui Zhen fell silent; it seemed to be a widely accepted fact that Wei Luxue would choose to graduate early, even though Wei Luxue had never admitted it.
The big city is really convenient, with shops all around just outside the campus, and they're all bustling with business.
Following the phone's navigation, Mo Jingchun, carrying his little sister Candy, walked a few hundred meters and saw the entrance to a large underground supermarket shown on the map.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, their eyes were met with all sorts of colorful snacks. Mo Jingchun directly bypassed them, and the little one only gave them a quick glance. Not having tasted snacks yet, Candy didn't know that all these were enticing delicacies.
In the fresh produce area, Mo Jingchun bought some vegetables and fruits and then moved on to other sections.
Mo Jingchun politely said to an aunt standing by the retail rice section: "Hello, Auntie, could you help me pack half a bag each of millet and rice?"
"No problem, no problem."
After all, it was her job. How could Lu Qiaoying refuse such a polite and respectful request?
"Is this your little sister? Oh my, she's so cute."
"Look at those big eyes, those eyebrows."
"Candy, Auntie is praising you, say thank you to Auntie," Mo Jingchun said to his sister with a smile.
The little one shyly nestled against Mo Jingchun's shoulder.
After measuring the rice and putting a barcode on it, Lu Qiaoying handed it to Mo Jingchun, "Here, young man, take it."
"Alright, thank you, Auntie."
Though they only bought some vegetables, fruits, and two half bags of rice, together they weighed over ten pounds.
By the time they returned to the apartment building, Mo Jingchun was sweating, his shirt clinging to his back.
Luckily there was an elevator, so he didn't have to climb the stairs. Otherwise, Mo Jingchun thought he might need to rest twice on the six floors.
"Phew~ I'm exhausted."
After placing his sister in the stroller and putting away the groceries, Mo Jingchun poured a glass of the now lukewarm water he had boiled before leaving for both himself and his sister.
The little one seemed thirsty as well, eagerly guzzling the warm water from her bottle.
After a short rest, the sweat on Mo Jingchun's body dried.
Mo Jingchun went back to the bedroom to get a washcloth, washed his face with cold water, then wiped his sister Candy's face. Despite the little one's strong reluctance, she couldn't escape Mo Jingchun's clutches.
"You're not satisfied? If it were someone else, I wouldn't even want to wipe them, but it's you, my little rascal, I'll gladly serve you," Mo Jingchun grumbled a bit while gently wiping Candy's rosy cheeks, careful not to use too much force and hurt her.
At the kitchen doorway, Candy sat in the stroller playing with a small toy, occasionally glancing up at Mo Jingchun who was busy in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun rinsed the millet with water, added water, and started cooking porridge in the rice cooker.
Going to the supermarket was specifically to get millet to add as baby food for his sister Candy.
With the rice cooker set for porridge, Mo Jingchun quickly sautéed a dish of greens. Since he was eating alone, Mo Jingchun thought one dish was sufficient.
After cooking the greens, Mo Jingchun checked the rice cooker, which showed that there were still thirteen minutes left to go.
Bored, he pushed his sister's stroller into the living room, sat on the sofa, and looked through the chat records of the freshmen on the QQ group.
The QQ group was bustling. As Mo Jingchun scrolled through the chat history, new message notifications kept coming in, more than 99+ already.
After leaving the official group chat, Mo Jingchun noticed a group invitation from a new friend.
"21 Software Engineering Major's Internal Group?"
"What the heck?"
After accepting the invitation, he was immediately greeted by the group announcement.
"This group is for the internal use of the 21 Software Engineering Major. Please do not add instructors, teachers, seniors, or alum to this group. Everyone is welcome to speak freely."
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and murmured with a smile, "Interesting."
Sure enough, without the constraints of the instructors in the official group, the members in the internal group were visibly more active than those in the official group.
"I've seen our instructor; she's a beauty."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? The instructor and many school leaders just came to our dorm to check."
"It's true, they're at our dorm now."
......
In the boys' dormitory, Li Na and other instructors, along with the college leaders, were checking student accommodation one room at a time from the first floor.
Throughout the process, Li Na stood aside, rarely speaking unless they were at her students' dorm, where she would say a couple of words. But not many students showed up in the morning, and there were still many who hadn't checked in.
In the living room, after blowing on the millet porridge with added sugar to cool it down, Mo Jingchun fed a small spoonful to his sister Candy.
Holding a toy rattle in her left hand, Candy smelled the rice fragrance, wiggled her little nose, and opened her mouth.
"Ah~"
The little one tasted something other than milk for the first time, her eyes going wide.
After ensuring that his sister had swallowed the porridge, Mo Jingchun fed her a second spoonful. Enjoying the meal, Candy even dropped the rattle in her hand onto the floor, reaching out with both hands for the bowl of millet porridge Mo Jingchun was holding.
"Come on, Candy, open your mouth, ah~"
The half bowl of millet porridge was quickly finished by Candy. Seeing how she still seemed to want more, Mo Jingchun glanced at her round little tummy. Despite Candy banging on the stroller, Mo Jingchun decided not to give her any more.
(Feeling a bit dizzy, just one update tonight, will make up for it tomorrow.)
