Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 344 Video Call
Essen's video call has been going on for over forty minutes.

After successfully joining the company, he insisted on sharing his joy with the Mermaid King, then sharing about the kindergarten's living environment, and finally, during mealtime, he gave a detailed presentation in the canteen.

The way they share is quite "friendly".

It was so friendly that Jiang Yuxi felt she had to say something.

"Actually, what one likes to eat depends on individual and individual tastes, and there's no need to cater to other people's tastes... I'm glad that Professor Essen likes and shares our school's staff meals. If you have any opinions or suggestions, please feel free to let us know the person in charge of our canteen, Teacher Yi, and Teacher Severus."

Jiang Yuxi had been watching from the corner for a while.

For some reason, seeing the tall, handsome orc on the other end of the terminal looking "dull and aggrieved" after being lectured by Teacher Essen, she inexplicably wanted to say a few words for him.

Sure enough, the other person looked at her with sparkling eyes, as if she were looking at a savior.

Shining, worship, ecstasy...

Jiang Yuxi unconsciously straightened her chest.

The Mermaid King tried his best to control his expression and demeanor, and made his voice beautiful and gentle.

"Hello, I'm Perez. It's nice to meet you!"

The Mermaid King's feelings at this moment: It's Princess Xixi! It's his little sister! He actually saw her in the video, a real, living princess who could talk, laugh, and even greet people...

A storm was raging in his heart!
On the surface, however, she is calm, gentle, and composed, exuding a remarkable aura!
Jiang Yuxi couldn't suppress her smile, waving her little hand and saying, "Hello~ I'm Jiang Yuxi, and like Teacher Essen, I'm also a teacher at Sunshine Kindergarten. It's nice to meet you too!"

Mermaid King: Little Xixi still likes to wave her hands, just like when she was little! It's just that when she was little, she liked to clench her little fists and wave her little hands.

A teacher like Grandpa Essen? She's clearly the principal, Grandpa Essen's current highest-ranking leader. My little princess is just too modest!

(While thinking this, Perez completely forgot his own identity as the sole king of the sea tribe—the Mermaid King—and forgot Essen's identity as a mermaid.)
The little princess said she was also very happy to meet him!
It's nice to meet him = I think he's a very nice person, so it's nice to meet him = The little princess likes him!

Indeed, blood ties are indelible!
Even though his little princess has no memory of him, she is naturally close to him!

Xi Xi should be his only sister, Perez!
He was truly blind and delusional before! How could he have thought that fake was his sister?

He clearly couldn't get close to the fake princess at all; his occasional disgust for counterfeit goods was genuine!

He was truly blind and ignorant in the past, actually thinking it was because his younger sister had grown up and had her own ideas?
He actually thought that as long as the fake princess didn't make any major mistakes in principle, he shouldn't interfere too much.

It seems that it was indeed because they were not related by blood that he had such a wrong idea.

Once the object of his affections becomes his own little princess, he would do anything to pamper her and attend to her every need.

He wanted to know everything about his little princess, including what she liked to eat, what her favorite color was, and what her hobbies were.

What if, like that counterfeiter, something went wrong?

How can it be!

Nothing!

It's obvious that it's impossible!
My little princess is innocent, cute, beautiful, and kind... she would never make a mistake. Even if she does, it must be because another beastman was at fault first! Or she was corrupted by the beastmen around her!
Unlike this fake princess he's been pretending to be all day, who's a fraud herself and has problems, and who then leads the ladies-in-waiting around her to make mistakes too!
If it were Princess Xixi, it would definitely be someone who disrespected her first, or someone who acted like a jerk first.

Perez: "Xixi, are you coming to eat too?"

Jiang Yuxi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Perez, have you eaten?"

Surprisingly, she didn't find it offensive that Perez called her "Xixi" so affectionately when they met for the first time; in fact, she even thought it sounded kind of nice. Perez stepped aside, revealing a desk piled high with documents behind him.

"No, I still have some work to finish. I'll probably have to work overtime tonight."

With files piled up like a mountain, Jiang Yuxi unconsciously frowned.

"So much work? When will we finish working overtime? Perez, don't think I'm being long-winded, but I think that while work is work, you should also take care of your health. You should still eat dinner. Don't ruin your health by starving yourself."

Jiang Yuxi always wanted to say a few more words to this stranger she was meeting for the first time.

Perez's smile deepened as he said, "How could that be? Xixi, I'm happy that you care about me. How could I find you nagging? I'm not an ungrateful orc."

He changed the subject: "It seems I'm a bit older than you. Xixi, if you don't mind, you can treat me as your older brother and call me 'brother'."

Brother?

Jiang Yuxi found it somewhat novel.

In her three lifetimes as a human and as a beast, she had no family and had never experienced what it was like to have an "older brother".

"Perez...brother?"

She called out cautiously.

It's a bit like a little animal peeking out, sneaking around trying out new things.

Perez felt completely refreshed and full of energy, even feeling that he could handle clan affairs for a month without sleep!

"Little Xixi!"

Perez was happy, but Essen was terribly unhappy.

It was clearly Essen who met Princess Xixi first, so why was it that little brat Perez who got the princess to call him "brother" first? And he can only be called "Teacher Essen"?
The key is that my little princess's voice is so sweet, and her expressions and movements are so adorable!
If his little princess Xixi could call him "Grandpa Essen," he would give her all his treasures!
Unlike that stingy, petty fish-brat Perez, who didn't show any appreciation whatsoever!

"Hmph." Essen let out a small sneer.

However, he did not intend to interrupt their video call.

He knew how much the Mermaid King longed to see and reunite with Princess Cordelia.

Perez glanced at Essen, who was showing signs of agitation, and while talking to Jiang Yuxi, he subtly brought up topics that Jiang Yuxi was interested in. Finally, as if casually, he said, "Little sister Yuxi, this is my contact number... We can keep in touch often, and I can share anything interesting that happens to me with you."

Jiang Yuxi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! Is this the number? I'll add it now... The application has been sent, please approve it."

Perez calmly approved the application and sent a greeting emoji.

But only he knew how excited he was.

I finally got in touch with my sister!
And his younger sister seems to really like him!
Essen, aware of his lack of composure, grimaced beside him.

At this moment, two more orcs appeared in the camera's view.

Frederick: "Oh, what a coincidence, Perez!"

Hilcher: "Good afternoon, Perez."

The Mermaid King's joyful expression froze instantly.
