Chapter 513: Chapter 513: How Big a Heart Does It Take to Forget? (5)

"Oh, brother, why are you crying?"

Candy, with half a mooncake still in her mouth, widened her eyes in disbelief.

Candy looked up at the moon, and it was indeed the same moon, so why was her brother crying?

Mo Jingchun casually wiped away his tears, removing the traces from his face.

"It’s nothing, just missing Mom a bit."

"Oh~" Candy nodded, then said with a cheeky smile:

"Guoguo misses her too."

Mo Jingchun was amused by his little sister and helplessly patted her head.

Zhou Yaling watched the two without interrupting.

She knew her older brother truly missed their mother.

As for Candy, although she had the concept of a mother, she had never truly felt motherly love.

Most of the time, she heard the unfamiliar yet familiar words "mother" from her brother’s mouth.

In Candy’s memory, the memories of their mother were likely more about the cold gravestone and the beautiful orchids growing on the grave.

Mo Jingchun lay leisurely on the deck chair, quietly watching the bright moon.

The little one got bored after a while and didn’t bother anymore.

She’d rather eat more fruit from the platter.

The only pity was that the fruit platter didn’t have Candy’s favorite strawberries.

Suddenly, Mo Jingchun, lying on the deck chair, spoke:

"There’s durian in the fridge, ask your sister to get it for you."

Immediately, Zhou Yaling’s face fell, while Candy’s face lit up with joy.

There was durian? She didn’t even know!

Hmph, they only bullied her because she couldn’t reach the fridge door.

"Sister, Guoguo wants to eat durian."

Those watery eyes were really hard to refuse.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yaling said with a headache:

"Wait."

Seeing her sister get up and go inside, Candy happily followed.

"Sister, the fridge is this way?"

Inside, Candy looked perplexed as her sister headed to the storage room.

The fridge was clearly in the kitchen.

"Wait a moment."

"Alright~" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As long as she could eat durian, Candy was very willing to wait a bit.

After a while, her sister came out of the storage room.

The difference was, her sister now had an N95 mask on.

"Sister, why are you wearing a mask?"

Zhou Yaling couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "Durian is too stinky."

"No, it’s clearly so fragrant."

In the kitchen, Zhou Yaling grumbled as she pried open the durian.

Who knows what expression the first person who tried this smelly thing had.

They probably doubted they were eating rotten rice.

"How many?"

"One... no, Guoguo wants two." Candy licked her lips.

"Alright, it’s all yours anyway."

"Besides you, no one else will eat it."

Putting the remaining durian back in the fridge, Zhou Yaling left.

"I’m heading out, take your time eating at home."

Watching her sister’s back, Candy pouted.

"Such a delicious fruit and they won’t eat it."

"Meow~"

On the sofa, Bun swayed its head, jumped off the sofa, and dashed outside.

As for Little Grey, it ran away as soon as the fridge was opened.

When Zhou Yaling came out, she found her older brother with his eyes closed, not knowing if he was asleep.

However, the next second, Zhou Yaling realized he wasn’t asleep.

After all, a sleeping person wouldn’t ask questions.

"Zhou Yaling, what’s your dream?"

Dream? Such a distant question, Zhou Yaling fell into deep thought.

She couldn’t even remember her once-held dreams.

"I don’t know, thinking about future houses and cars makes me feel suffocated."

"Dreams, huh, being happy for a lifetime is enough." Zhou Yaling laughed heartily.

Mo Jingchun opened one eye and said softly, "Being happy for a lifetime is a tough dream."

"Probably impossible to achieve."

"As long as you’re alive, you can’t escape birth, aging, sickness, and death."

Zhou Yaling removed her mask and chuckled:

"Don’t be so pessimistic, being happy most of the time is enough."

"Change the topic, what about you, big brother?"

"What’s your dream?"

"My dream?" Mo Jingchun slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:

"My dream is the dream of many boys."

Mo Jingchun pointed at the countless stars in the sky and said calmly:

"See, we boys all have the same dream, the Sea of Stars."

Following her brother’s finger, Zhou Yaling saw many stars, some twinkling, looking very pretty.

"Those twinkling stars are indeed beautiful, many people dream of traveling the stars."

Mo Jingchun said in surprise, "Twinkling stars?"

"Yes, look."

Seeing the twinkling star Zhou Yaling was talking about, still moving, Mo Jingchun fell silent.

"Big sis, that’s probably a space station, or maybe some country’s satellite."

"Definitely not a star."

Zhou Yaling, holding her fruit, paused and blinked.

"Really?"

"Yes! I’m quite certain."

"Okay."

Mo Jingchun shifted the topic, "But you’re right; those stars are beautiful. They’re all stars, after all."

"Basically, the sun."

"Tsk tsk, with so many suns, Houyi would take forever to shoot them all."

Mo Jingchun quietly didn’t want to speak; indeed, they weren’t on the same page.

"Time for bed, dreams have everything," Mo Jingchun lazily got up and stretched.

"Even though it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival and you’re on holiday, don’t stay up too late with Candy."

When Mo Jingchun went inside, he didn’t find Candy in the dining room.

Seeing the light on in the first-floor bathroom, Mo Jingchun knew Candy had finished her durian and was brushing her teeth.

The next morning, after his morning run and shower, Mo Jingchun was feeding the large red carp in the tank.

To keep the red carp company, Mo Jingchun had bought a few ornamental fish to put in the tank.

His two sisters hadn’t woken up yet, so Mo Jingchun had to make a bowl of noodles for himself for breakfast.

Just as Mo Jingchun put down the fish food, his phone vibrated non-stop in his pants pocket.

When he took out his phone, Mo Jingchun was even more surprised.

"Li Yuanfang?"

He paused for a moment before answering the call.

"Hey, my little brother, what made you think of calling me?"

On the other end, Li Yuanfang was silent for a while before suddenly asking:

"Hey, big bro, where’s the algorithm engineer you promised me for the motorcycle project collaboration?"

Algorithm engineer??? Mo Jingchun awkwardly smiled, rubbing his nose.

Then said softly:

"I’ve been so busy lately; you wouldn’t believe it, but I completely forgot about it."

"I was just wondering why you were calling me."

Li Yuanfang had considered many possibilities but had never thought Mo Jingchun would forget something so important.

What a big heart.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I’ll arrange for someone to come to your company."
