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

At that moment, an idea came to mind.

Gao Gao flew off Pei Yuening's shoulder and landed steadily on Luo Ren's knees.

The little wolf was squeezed so much by her that it shifted its bottom, whimpered, and changed its position to continue sleeping.

"Duke Luo," Gao Gao looked up, her two little hands neatly placed in front of her, "could you take me home later?"

Pei Yuening suddenly opened her eyes.

What is this guy saying?!

Gao Gao blinked her big eyes.

"My master has to go to class this afternoon, it's so inconvenient for him to take me with him. Besides, I haven't had enough fun playing with the unicorn yet, I want to stay a little longer."

She paused, then added, "It'll only be a short while. Just give me a ride when you leave."

Pei Yuening opened her mouth: "No, you..."

"Master, you have class this afternoon!" Gao Gao turned around, her tone matter-of-fact: "The little unicorn is so lonely! It's so happy to have me play with it!"

"But you..."

"Even Duke Luo has agreed!"

"?! When did he...?"

Gao Gao turned around and looked up at Luo Ren: "Duke Luo, you will agree, right?"

Luo Ren remained silent for a moment.

"it is good."

Gao Gao's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"

"Um."

"Yay!!!!!!!" Gao Gao spun around on Luo Ren's knee, flapping its wings so loudly that it almost knocked the wind wolf cub off his leg.

Pei Yuening stood there, trying to make a final struggle: "Gao Gao, you..."

Gao Gao turned around.

"Master, Duke Luo has already agreed. Are you treating him like an outsider by being so polite?"

Pei Yuening: "…………I didn't."

"Then it's settled!"

Pei Yuening was speechless and decided not to stoop to the level of a flower fairy.

"Then I'm leaving," he said. "Be good, and don't cause trouble for others."

"When have I ever caused any trouble!" Gao Gao said, hands on her hips.

Pei Yuening turned her head and bowed to Luo Ren: "Your Grace, I shall take my leave now."

"Um."

Ryan walked over from the next fence, carrying a baby griffin in his arms.

"Where's Gao Gao?" he asked.

"She wants Duke Luo to send it back," Pei Yuening said.

Ryan paused for a moment.

"...Did they know each other before...?"

Why isn't Gao Gao afraid of him?

Pei Yuening nodded: "I should say we know each other."

We're dining buddies, right? We've eaten together several times already.

"Okay," Ryan patted the griffin's head and gently put it back.

"Let's go to the classroom then, afternoon classes are about to start."

"it is good."

……

Pei Yuening walked out of the teaching building and immediately saw the familiar carriage.

Ye Jiyun stood beside the carriage, looking as if he had come directly from the Privy Council.

"Brother!" Pei Yuening waved.

"Hmm, are you tired?"

Ye Jiyun patted his head.

"It's alright, let's go home!" Pei Yuening chuckled twice and climbed into the carriage.

Ye Jiyun followed him up and sat down opposite him.

The wheels started turning, and without Gao Gao around, the surroundings became much quieter.

Pei Yuening suddenly spoke up: "Brother."

"Um?"

"Where did your familiar go?"

Ye Jiyun looked up: "Near the capital, right? What's wrong?"

Does it have any pups?

Ye Jiyun was taken aback: "A cub?"

"Um."

"No, it hasn't been mentioned in any recent letters." He paused. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Pei Yuening pursed her lips.

Good heavens, Luo Ren was right, my brother really didn't know.

"Emmm..." Pei Yuening said, "Do you remember the cute little unicorn I mentioned yesterday?"

"Gao Gao said it smells like you..."

Ye Jiyun's eyes flickered.

"And then Duke Luo was there too," Pei Yuening continued. "He sent a message to Philo before the start of the semester, and Philo came carrying three cubs with him."

"……Yeah?"

Ye Jiyun was silent for a moment: "I really don't know."

"Now you know!" Pei Yuening chuckled. "Is your familiar returning in three days? Then we can bring its child back!"

"Yes, it probably is," he said. "But I don't know what it's thinking afterwards."

"It had volunteered to go to the northern front, and I initially refused, but it insisted."

"They've been asking me to consider this matter."

Pei Yuening opened her mouth: "Really?"

Vocalist, you're so responsible!!

"Brother," Pei Yuening suddenly remembered, "you never told me anything about what happened before I was born."

"for example?"

"For example, how did you and your familiar meet?"

Ye Jiyun lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "Its name is Aurora. I met it in the Eternal Forest when I was fifteen."

"It was injured at the time; its hind leg was caught in a trap, and it was almost dead."

"I happened to be passing by and rescued it."

"After it recovered from its injuries, it didn't leave. When I returned to the manor, it followed me, and I couldn't bear to let it leave again, so I signed a contract."

"Aurora is aloof and doesn't get close to people much. But she's very loyal to me."

"The reason I want to go to the North is because I'm afraid the war will affect my life."

Pei Yuening was stunned.

At the age of fifteen, I encountered the purest and most beautiful creature in the world in a fairytale-like forest.

The unicorn willingly followed me home—what kind of chosen one is this?

The familiar volunteered to go to the front line. What kind of divine bond is this?

In the original work, Ye Jiyun is basically a soulless NPC, unless you talk to him face to face.

How could anyone have imagined that the person sitting in front of him now had rescued a unicorn in the forest all by himself at the age of fifteen and signed a contract with the unicorn?

Even unicorns are willing to go to the front lines for him!

"elder brother."

"Um?"

"You're amazing."

Ye Jiyun glanced at him: "...What?"

"You're so amazing!!" Pei Yuening screamed and clung to him, grabbing his arm tightly. "My God, brother, you're so amazing!"

"A unicorn! It's a unicorn! Brother, you're such a wonderful person!"

Hey you, the original author of this novel, Pei Yuening, hereby formally orders you to write a separate book for Ye Jiyun right now, immediately!

"..." Ye Jiyun was stunned by his string of praises.

Pei Yuening was still clinging to Ye Jiyun like an octopus.

Ye Jiyun silently reached out and pulled his head off her arm.

"Ningning."

"Um?"

"Let go first."

"don't want."

"..."

Ye Jiyun gave up.

The carriage continued forward, and Pei Yuening leaned on his shoulder, showing no intention of moving away.

Ye Jiyun did not move.

After a while, Pei Yuening suddenly heard a soft laugh from above.

"What are you laughing at, brother?"

"It's nothing," Ye Jiyun said. "It just reminded me that you were like this when you were little. You would stick to me as soon as I told you a story, and I couldn't shake you off."

Pei Yuening was slightly taken aback: "...When I was a child?"

"Yeah, you were only this tall back then," he gestured, "around waist height," "You needed me to tell you a story every night before bed, otherwise you wouldn't go to sleep."

"After listening, they still wanted to ask a lot of questions, and they wouldn't close their eyes until midnight."

Pei Yuening remained silent.

Because that was the original owner, not him.

"...Then I'll cling to you now." Pei Yuening chose to avoid it, burying her face in Ye Jiyun's shoulder: "You can't shake me off."

"Hmm," Ye Jiyun patted his head, "I'll tell you about Aurora after I receive her reply."

"If it's willing to bring the cubs back, we will."

Pei Yuening looked up abruptly: "Really?!"

"Um."

"What if it insists on going to the North?!"

Ye Jiyun glanced at him: "Then I'll just not let it go."

Pei Yuening burst out laughing: "What? Brother, you're so domineering."

"That's called being reasonable," Ye Jiyun said without changing his expression.

"You call this being reasonable?"

"Um."

"..."
