Chapter 60: Chapter 60: A Moon Over a Foreign Land Can’t Compare to a Lamp at Ho
The final exams arrived as scheduled. Outside the exam hall, Su Wenyan, who had no experience in childcare, felt like Candy could slip from her arms at any mont. In just over ten minutes, Su Wenyan’s hands felt like they were no longer her own.
Holding on with all her might, the little one fidgeted uncomfortably, furrowing her brows and kicking her tiny legs against Su Wenyan’s clothes.
Oh heavens, it’s never easy earning a salary of fifteen thousand a month.
If she had known looking after a child was this exhausting, Su Wenyan would never have agreed to her boss’s request.
She checked her watch. Oh no, how has it only been 16 minutes!
Su Wenyan could only hope the boss was telling the truth, that an exam would never take more than 40 minutes, after which she could submit the paper.
The exam invigilators weren’t the regular teachers but the advisors from each class, and none of them were invigilating their own classes; instead, they were overseeing students from other disciplines.
In the classroom, everyone sat separately. After reading the questions, Mo Jingchun quickly began answering on the exam paper, confident in his answers despite his poor handwriting.
Aside from the last few major questions, the previous ones were pretty basic. As long as you paid attention in class, you could solve them.
The teachers often claid the exams would be difficult to weed out so students, but in reality, they were just saying it. As long as students hadn’t completely slacked off the previous sester, passing wasn’t too hard.
After finishing the last major question, Mo Jingchun checked that he wrote his na, class, and student ID, then swiftly reviewed his answers from start to finish.
Perfect! No problems.
Mo Jingchun got up and handed his exam paper to the teacher’s desk.
Despite being quiet, Mo Jingchun’s movent was still quite noticeable in the silent classroom.
No one could help but look at Mo Jingchun as he handed in his paper, causing especially the top students to lower their heads and speed up their answers.
"Everyone else continue with the exam, there’s still over fifty minutes left," the invigilator said, glancing at Mo Jingchun’s submitted paper without any further comnt.
Being Jing University, every year there are these geniuses who finish the exam early. It’s no big deal; in years of invigilating, this student’s speed isn’t even in the top hundred.
By sophomore or junior year, these students all beco extraordinary.
Outside the classroom, Su Wenyan was completely overwheld. Candy had a diarrhea accident, and she had no idea how to handle it.
She thought sothing was wrong after the little one passed gas. One sniff confird it wasn’t just gas but a ssy situation.
The worst part was that the little one gazed at her with such innocence.
Just then, the classroom door opened and Mo Jingchun ca striding out.
Su Wenyan, seeing a savior, imdiately handed the little one to the boss and, all shaken up, said:
"Boss, Candy just had diarrhea."
Mo Jingchun hesitated for a mont, touched the diaper, feeling its soft warmth, and confird it was indeed diarrhea.
"You head back first, I’ll take Candy to the restroom to change the diaper."
"Oh, by the way, don’t forget there’s another exam tomorrow afternoon."
The almost-departed Su Wenyan was nearly scared into a stumble.
Just as she wanted to refuse, Mo Jingchun’s next words choked back her refusal.
"Salaries are being paid on the 15th this month, you’ll get a bonus!"
Bonus! Bonus! With the New Year approaching, she couldn’t afford to ignore money. Su Wenyan repeated this to herself three tis before turning around with a smile and saying, "No problem, boss."
The next day, Su Wenyan got smart. Under Mo Jingchun’s astonished gaze, she pulled a small folding stool from her bag.
Once it was set up and she sat down, she instantly beca the object of curiosity among the passing students.
"Boss, you go ahead, I’ll look after Candy, and don’t forget to give a generous bonus."
Mo Jingchun nodded blankly.
What could he say? It was obvious she went out to buy new gear once she got ho yesterday. Today, she ca prepared.
The folding stool wasn’t cheap, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but grumble.
Mo Jingchun entered the exam hall. Outside, the two-sized pair eyed each other, while deep down, Su Wenyan was overjoyed. Indeed, this was the right way to handle babysitting — how comfortable it was to have the kid on her lap.
And with the fruit the boss brought, the situation couldn’t be more enjoyable.
When the little one wasn’t paying attention, Su Wenyan would sneak a few cherries into her own mouth.
With Mo Jingchun’s final exam completed, Mo Jingchun, Su Wenyan, and Candy were finally free.
This ti, Mo Jingchun had just left the classroom after handing in his paper, when Xuanyu ran out with her backpack.
"Mo Jingchun."
"Hmm?" Mo Jingchun turned around, puzzled, looking at Xuanyu, who had also handed in her paper.
"When the results are out, send
a copy," Xuanyu said, shaking her fist at Mo Jingchun, then took out a box of fresh strawberries from her bag and placed it in the arms of the sniffing little one.
"I’m off now, need to catch a train ho tonight."
"Okay, safe travels."
"You too."
After Xuanyu left, Mo Jingchun felt genuinely moved as he looked at the full box of strawberries.
At this ti of year, strawberries like these are quite expensive.
It’s just that the little one loves them, otherwise, Xuanyu might not have bought such pricey fruit.
"Let’s go, ti to get your salaries," Mo Jingchun said, rubbing Candy’s warm, soft cheek with a smile.
"Boss, boss, how much are you planning to give?"
Mo Jingchun glanced at Su Wenyan and smiled, saying, "You’ll know when it’s delivered."
"I’ll brief you two on so tasks shortly, then I’m heading ho. Whether we can sell the goods before the New Year depends on you."
"On New Year’s Day, according to your sales, I’ll give you a red envelope. How much you earn depends on your ability."
In the office, Xu Pengfei was on a call with soone.
Once Xu Pengfei hung up, Mo Jingchun gave the two so instructions and quickly made his getaway under their resentful gaze.
Back at the apartnt, Mo Jingchun texted his advisor, saying he’d return ho the next day.
"Okay, travel safely, and check the group notifications. Let the class president know via QQ once you’re ho safely."
"Got it."
After putting down his phone, Mo Jingchun, under the gaze of the little one in the stroller, began to pack his luggage.
That night, a rare full moon appeared. Standing by the window, Mo Jingchun gazed at the small crescent moon, lost in thought.
It’s said the moon in a foreign land is as bright as yours, but it can’t compare to a lamp in your hotown.
