"Awoo~" Little Grey kept nuzzling against his little owner, seeking comfort.

Candy was about to burst into tears, her previously good mood shattered instantly.

"Wuwuwu~ Looks so painful."

Raising Little Grey with both hands, Candy felt even more sorrowful.

His head’s so swollen, it must hurt a lot, right?

Mo Jingchun, who was sitting nearby, put down the mouse, turned around in his chair, and said:

"It just looks a bit serious, but the vet said it’ll be fine in a week."

The little one held Little Grey, looking at her brother doubtfully.

"Really? Brother?"

"But it looks pretty bad."

Mo Jingchun shrugged and said:

"That’s what the vet said."

However, in the next second, Mo Jingchun was dumbfounded.

In his astonished gaze, Candy, full of confusion, "lightly" pressed down on Little Grey’s swollen nose with her right index finger while Little Grey was completely defenseless.

"Awoo~ awo~ awo~ awo~"

In Candy’s arms, Little Grey wanted to escape the "scene of the crime" due to the pain, but was too weak to break free.

Candy was dumbfounded too.

All she did was press lightly, why such a big reaction?

The series of wails even caused Bun, who was grooming himself on the sofa, to pause and curiously watch with his head extended.

The world never lacks spectators, and cats especially love watching the commotion.

After a while, regaining his composure, Little Grey finally stopped whining, lying weakly in Candy’s arms, motionless.

The little one opened her mouth slightly, looking at her brother and asked:

"Brother, didn’t you say... it was nothing?"

It’s nothing serious, but it can’t stand you messing with it like that! Mo Jingchun’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

That’s not how you pass the buck, Mo Jingchun thought, insisting this big iron pot of blame isn’t his to carry.

"You pressed Little Grey’s wound, no wonder he’s hurting."

The little one thought for a moment, realizing that seems to be the case.

About ten minutes later, the previously quiet office was filled with Candy’s giggles.

Confused, Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin looked over curiously towards the sofa almost simultaneously.

Surprisingly, there was Candy with her phone, snapping pictures of Little Grey while laughing.

Gone was the sadness from earlier.

"Hahaha, Little Grey, you look so cute."

"I need to share this with Sis."

"And upload it to brother’s short video, hehe."

In an abrupt turn of events, Little Grey found himself utterly perplexed.

Even Mo Jingchun and Xia Xiaomin, drawn in by the laughter, were left momentarily stunned.

Did the little ship of friendship just tip over???

What happened to feeling sorry???

Mo Jingchun rubbed his chin, doubting if the little one’s earlier sadness was just an act.

After all, children are natural-born actors.

After taking the beautiful photos, Little Grey was put aside by Candy, who then lounged happily on the sofa.

Judging by her smile, she was probably sending the photos to Zhou Yaling.

Sure enough, shortly after, Zhou Yaling opened a video call on WeChat.

Listening to Zhou Yaling and Candy’s schadenfreude-laden laughter, Mo Jingchun suddenly felt he might be more concerned about Little Grey.

After all, he was the one who took Little Grey to the pet hospital and never laughed at him.

At most, he just worried Little Grey might kick the bucket.

"Tsk tsk tsk, poor Little Grey, you better grow up quickly." Mo Jingchun shook his head and murmured softly.

In May, at around six o’clock, it still wasn’t dark, though the sun had set, and the streetlights along the city roads had all been lit by half-past five.

In the car, sitting next to Candy, Mo Jingchun watched the little one deftly editing the video.

Music, text, and even transitions.

Throughout the journey, the little one repeatedly admired her edited video.

Mo Jingchun could only roll his eyes.

She could have just asked Zero to handle it in a few words, yet insists on doing it herself.

"Brother, do you think it looks good?"

Glancing at it casually, Mo Jingchun smiled and said:

"It’s good, and quite funny."

"Blah blah blah~ Brother, can you be any more perfunctory?"

"Oh~ it looks good."

The little one rolled her big eyes.

"Brother, you’re so boring."

"Hehe, watch me post it, surely it’ll get lots of little red hearts."

As three white Audi cars stopped at the villa entrance, Mo Jingchun opened the car door and noticed the little one still giggling to herself, saying:

"What are you still thinking about? We’re home."

"Huh? I’m getting out, I’m getting out."

Back home, as soon as she sat down, the little one started fretting again.

She posted the video, but then realized there’s a new problem.

"Brother, Little Grey’s mouth is swollen, what will he eat tonight?"

"He won’t starve, will he?"

In the kitchen, Mo Jingchun heard this and walked to the door, saying while tying an apron:

"It’s just swollen, it doesn’t mean he can’t drink milk."

"He drank milk at noon, a whole basin of it, and Little Grey didn’t leave a drop."

With a snap, he turned on the gas stove and poured some soybean oil.

"Guoguo, did you ask Yaling when she’s coming back?"

After a while with no response, Mo Jingchun glanced outside with a wok in hand and saw no trace of Little Candy in the living room.

Bun and Little Grey were gone too.

Mo Jingchun shook his head helplessly, "Why don’t you believe me?"

"I told you Little Grey drinking milk is no problem at all."

"His dog tongue isn’t swollen."

Mo Jingchun’s account has built-in traffic, and it didn’t take long for the little one’s video to get pushed to trending after an official reviewer saw it.

Netizens were amused by the pitiful Little Grey.

"Looks like it got stung by something, just not sure what it was."

"Hahaha, wild guess, the dog probably got stung while biting grass in the meadow."

"I’m a Candy Technology employee, insider info, the dog got bitten by a snake."

"Envy the guy above, working at Candy Technology, unlike me, just a bottom feeder, often ridiculed by fellow readers, thinking I’m too idle and always wanting to mail me local specialties."

Eating in the cafeteria, Zhou Yaling naturally saw the video while browsing short videos.

Remembering Little Grey’s silly mistake of getting bitten by a snake, Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but laugh again.

Students around her all turned to look, making Zhou Yaling blush and quickly lower her head.

Oh my, so embarrassing.

Finishing her meal quickly, Zhou Yaling hastily left, feeling too embarrassed to stay.

Thinking about returning in a while, Zhou Yaling already had a beaming smile.
