If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

The door was closed gently.

Pei Yuening lay back on the bed, pressed the brooch against her chest, and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Therefore, Luo Ren is truly unaffected by the plot...

His decision was right!

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and rolled around on the bed, clutching the blanket.

Just then, the window was smashed open with a loud bang.

Pei Yuening was startled.

A golden light pierced through the window and landed on Pei Yuening's blanket.

Gao Gao fluttered around a couple of times, revealing a little head covered in fluorescent powder: "Master! I'm back!"

Pei Yuening pulled her out of the blanket and placed her on the pillow.

"How did it go?" he couldn't help but ask. "Did you deliver it successfully? Did Luo Ren eat it?"

"He ate it!" Gao Gao nodded vigorously. "He ate several bites. He seemed to really like it."

Pei Yuening smiled even more broadly: "Really?!"

"Really!" Gao Gao smacked her lips. "But there's no one in the kitchen, so I didn't find out what his tastes are."

Pei Yuening nodded: "It's okay, next time is fine too."

GaoGao, hands on hips, exclaimed, "So, Master, what about my share?!"

Pei Yuening rolled over and got out of bed.

He walked to the desk, took a wrapped cake from the drawer, and pushed it towards Gao Gao: "Here, take this. You really went to a lot of trouble."

Gao Gao let out a "Wow!" and squeaked as she plunged headfirst into the hole.

She huffed and puffed as she burrowed into the cake, while Pei Yuening sat to the side, propping his head up and watching her.

Looking at her starving appearance, Pei Yuening suddenly remembered the description of flower fairies in the original work.

When he was reading the book, he realized that it was a setting designed to highlight Ryan's cheat abilities.

A top-tier healing familiar, with no more than ten in the entire empire, capable of healing all injuries except those resulting from death.

At that moment, he only had one thought in his mind: Wow, awesome.

Then there is no more.

But right now, this thing is lying on his desk, its face buried in the cake, its mouth full of crumbs.

Pei Yuening stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly reached out and poked Gao Gao's little belly with her fingertip.

"Gao Gao".

"Hmm?" Gao Gao didn't look up, but smacked her lips in response.

"Besides eating, what else can you do?"

Gao Gao finally pulled her face out of the cake, with a crumb still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

"I can cure illnesses," she said. "What's wrong, Master? Are you sick?"

"...I'm not sick."

Pei Yuening just wanted to confirm some details that weren't mentioned in the original work.

"Can it cure any disease?"

"It's not that I can cure every disease," Gao Gao counted on her fingers, "but anyway... as long as a person is alive, I can save them."

"I can cure anything, including broken bones, ruptured internal organs, backlash from magic, poisoning, and curses."

"But it's not good to lose your head, and it's not good to stop your heart from beating."

Pei Yuening blinked.

Isn't this something that can do anything except bring the dead back to life?

"...You're that good?" He looked at the tiny thing in front of him with some skepticism.

"Of course," Gao Gao proudly puffed out her little chest, "I am the noble and healing flower fairy of the department."

"Who do you think I am? Someone who can just sign a contract with me?"

Pei Yuening remained silent.

He suddenly realized a very crucial problem.

In the original story, even someone as kind as Ryan was able to sign in with the Flower Fairy later on.

And he—an imposter who had only been in the book for two days—was tackled to the face by Gao Gao on his very second day in the book.

What does this tell us?

Does this mean Gao Gao thinks he's quite kind?

Or perhaps... Gao Gao was simply tricked into coming here by the cake, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the purity of her soul?

"Gao Gao," Pei Yuening asked again, "did you really become my familiar because of cake?"

Gao Gao tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Not entirely," she said. "Your cakes are indeed delicious, but it's mainly because of you... how should I put it..."

She hesitated for a moment before deciding on her words.

"You have a very clean feeling about you," she concluded. "I like it."

Pei Yuening was taken aback.

Clean.

Uh.

I never did anything bad in my past life. The worst part was raising tadpoles in the toilet.

He cried all day after the nanny washed him away.

He has no worries about food or clothing; he's a complete homebody whose biggest hobbies are cooking and reading novels.

Maybe that's why Gao Gao chose him.

But ultimately, he's still a loser!

"Don't you feel like you're wasting your talents by following me?" Pei Yuening couldn't help but ask. "I don't even have magic, so your healing skills are useless to me."

"So what? Don't worry about all that nonsense." Gao Gao took a bite of her cake. "Anyway, you won't lose out by keeping me around. Didn't you say Luo Ren is your future husband?"

Pei Yuening's breath hitched: "...So?"

"Someone like him must get injured often. If you keep me around, you can treat him anytime, anywhere."

Pei Yuening was momentarily speechless.

Oh no, it really is true.

But somehow, Gao Gao remembered the boast he casually made...

What if I can't win her over? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?!

Pei Yuening sighed: "Fine, since I've already accepted it, you can come with me from now on."

"OK."

Pei Yuening was looking at her while leaning on the table when she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right."

"Um?"

"The magic academy will start in a few days," Pei Yuening said. "When I go to school, you stay home and wait for me. I'll prepare something delicious for you in advance. Then, tell them not to come into my room."

Gao Gao didn't understand: "Why didn't you take me with you?"

Pei Yuening's eye twitched: "Because I'm a good-for-nothing."

He couldn't even protect himself, let alone protect the Flower Fairy, such a rare treasure.

If you happen to be targeted by someone with ill intentions, shatter the darkness with a thunderbolt—

He was blasted to pieces in an instant, and there was no way to save Gao Gao.

Moreover.

He was a complete failure in his department. People might not dare to say anything to his face because of his status, but behind his back, countless people would laugh at him.

He was looked down upon when he went out; his only advantages were his face and his hands.

He doesn't mind being laughed at, but Gao Gao can't.

She clearly had better options, options that many people would love to have.

So it's better to keep a low profile and save trouble.

Although Gao Gao didn't understand, she still obediently nodded.

As long as there's food, that's fine.

"Do you spend the whole day at school?"

Pei Yuening shook her head: "Half a day."

Why?

"Because I'm a good-for-nothing, my talent is zero." Pei Yuening shrugged. "So I only need to attend one morning of theory classes."

Gao Gao said "Oh," and then added, "That makes things much easier."

Pei Yuening burst out laughing.

"Oh, by the way, could you do me another favor tomorrow morning?" he said. "I'll make you some flower cakes."

"Flower cakes?" Gao Gao tilted her head. "What's that?"

Pei Yuening thought for a moment and decided to win her over in the simplest way.

"It's a kind of small round biscuit with a crispy outer crust that crumbles when you bite into it."

"It's filled with rose petal jam, which is sweet and has a floral fragrance."

"It's piping hot when it comes out of the oven, and when you take a bite, the crust is so crispy it crumbles."

"The rose filling inside is soft and sweet; after chewing a couple of times, the floral fragrance spreads in your mouth."

Gao Gao's eyes began to light up.

"Compared to a cake?" She swallowed hard.

“They’re different,” Pei Yuening said. “The cake is soft and fluffy, while the flower cake is crispy.”

Have you ever eaten anything with a flaky pastry crust? You know, the kind that crumbles at the touch and makes a crunchy texture when you chew it?

Gao Gao shook her head frantically: "No!!"

"I'll cook it for you tomorrow, but you have to send another portion to Duke Luo's residence, okay?"

"good!!"
