Chen Mo's gaze was almost ravenous as he watched the child. When Ji Nian handed him the radish, his eyes didn't even blink. Hearing the child say it was from her own home and that he should take it back to nourish his body, the bitterness in his heart deepened even more. He had gone through such a huge ordeal, yet she was still worrying about his health in return. To Ji Nian, Mo Chen was merely an ordinary teacher to her... Her sister was kind, but not so soft-hearted. "The radish is so heavy, don't bring it next time. My body... is already better." Chen Mo wanted to reach out and touch the child's cheek, but thinking of his current identity, he ultimately refrained. He merely looked at her with concern. His long eyelashes hung down, and his usually cold eyes softened, giving the illusion that she was his whole world. Ji Nian felt her face heat up. [...If I had known giving a radish could get me such a beautiful gaze,] She would bring a whole tractorload of radishes to Mo Chen teacher tomorrow! System: [......] The time had come, and both of them were reluctant to part from each other. Chen Mo stood in place, watching Ji Nian run away. The child darted up the stairs, and after just one flight, she turned her head to look back at him, waving cheerfully with a bright smile. Chen Mo's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, responding with one of his own. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say. Ji Tingzhou had indeed raised Ji Nian very well. They say the most understanding person is your enemy. What kind of person he was, no one knew better than Chen Mo, who had been investigating and observing him for years. But Ji Nian showed no trace of his flawed nature, which showed how much effort Ji Tingzhou had put into her. That day when the underground cave-in happened, Ji Tingzhou, with his severe obsession with cleanliness, had gone down himself. But sincerity can change in an instant. If one day Ji Tingzhou meets his true love and starts a new family, who could guarantee that he would still treat Ji Nian as well. "Cough... cough..." As a teacher, getting Ji Nian's hair was very simple for Chen Mo, and the paternity test results had arrived days ago. Results from five institutes all showed that Ji Nian and Chen Mo were indeed family. The blood flowing in Ji Nian's body was from his sister, making her Chen Mo's real little niece. Unaware that she would gain an uncle after school today, Ji Nian sat at her desk. "Do you want some snacks?" Hearing there were snacks, Ji Nian blinked, her dense, curled lashes fluttering, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Chen Mo: "Teacher, are you giving me snacks?" Chen Mo averted his gaze, pulling open the drawer of his desk, absentmindedly "hmm"ing. As his action, the drawer 'pong'ed open. Colorful snack packages scattered all over the floor. Ji Nian: "......." Did he open a mini convenience store in the office? Chen Mo didn't expect such a situation, after all, while purchasing, he only thought about whether Ji Nian might like them and just took them all at once. Standing outside the office with a pile of snacks from Chen Mo, Ji Nian thought, strange. [Why ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍is Mo teacher suddenly being so nice to me?] Being so nice to the child of a love rival, is that even okay? But accidentally receiving a bunch of snacks, Ji Nian was still very happy. This good mood persisted until three-thirty when school ended. As Ji Nian returned to her room to write her homework, downstairs, Ji Tingzhou sat on his favorite couch, gazing with lowered eyes at something in his hand. It was the chick pillow Ji Nian liked to hug when she slept. Over time and all the rough play from Ji Nian, the chick was starting to unravel. Originally, Ji Tingzhou wanted to replace it, but Ji Nian loved it too much. It was impossible, so he had to patch it up instead. Besides braiding hair, Ji Tingzhou knew all kinds of handicrafts. These days, due to the troubling Lu family matter and severe annoyance, he came downstairs to catch his breath and happened to repair Ji Nian's chick. It was at that moment. Zhiliao walked in with a strange expression. "The head of the Chen family, Mr. Chen, requests a visit." Ji Tingzhou didn't even move an eye: "Decline." Zhiliao handed him the already scanned, confirmed safe document: "He suggested you look at this before making your decision." Ji Tingzhou glanced at it. Seeing the name of a certain institute, his gaze changed. Taking out the document and clearly seeing the words on it, Ji Tingzhou's pupils slightly dilated, remaining silent for a long time. Zhiliao noticed something was off and called him: "Head?" Ji Tingzhou seemed to move like an old robot suddenly wound up, slowly reacting. He turned his head, the hair on his forehead moving with his motion for a moment, his pupils dilated, an overwhelming desire filled his eyes. "Go get my gun."
