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

Duke Luo's Mansion.

"Father, I have something I want to tell you."

Luo Ren paused in his writing, then looked up upon hearing this.

"Today, during our practical lesson in the Gloom Plains," Ollie nodded respectfully, "I was with Ryan."

The study was quiet for a few seconds.

Ollie waited for a while without any movement, then couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and glance at his father's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Luo Ren sat behind the desk, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had official documents from the Privy Council beside him, and a thick stack of documents awaiting approval was piled up on the corner of his desk.

After a long while, Luo Ren picked up his pen again.

"Um."

Ollie was stunned.

"Aren't you...aren't you going to say something?"

Luo Ren didn't even look up: "What do you want me to say?"

Ollie was stumped by the question.

Good question. What does he want Luo Ren to say?

Opposition? Questioning? Or blessing?

He couldn't explain it.

I thought you would disagree.

Why?

"Because Ryan is not a nobleman."

Luo Ren hummed in agreement: "I've been in the capital for quite some time, it's not like I only found out today."

Ollie: "..."

"It's enough that you've thought it through yourself," Luo Ren said calmly. "Since you've made up your mind, treat him well."

"I won't interfere too much in your relationships and future, but I hope your actions are worthy of your attitude today."

"I only care about one thing about you," Luo Ren glanced at him, "Don't start something and then abandon it."

Ollie lowered his eyes, and the tips of his ears felt hot for a moment.

In the end, he still bowed respectfully and said, "Understood, Father."

"Um."

Ollie straightened up.

"Well then, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now..."

"Gaia!!!"

The study window was kicked open with a loud bang.

Gao Gao appeared on the windowsill carrying a food box, staring blankly at the two people inside.

"...Huh?" Gao Gao flapped its wings twice, its gaze shifting between Ollie and Luo Ren. "Are you having a meeting?"

Ollie stood frozen in place.

He had just emerged from the subtle emotions of being recognized by his father, and his mind was still focused on the crucial moment of making a dignified exit.

Then the flower fairy kicked open his window.

His father's.

The study.

window.

"You—" Ollie opened his mouth.

With a flap of its wings, Gao Gao flew in from the window, drew an arc in the air, and landed steadily on the edge of the table.

"I brought your dad his food!" Gao Gao said matter-of-factly. "My master made it himself, what's it to you?"

She is ready.

Based on past experience, Ollie would then engage in a heated argument with her for three hundred rounds until Luo Ren couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them both.

Gao Gao lifted her face up a little more, almost looking at people with her chin down.

Surprisingly, Ollie didn't say anything.

He looked at Gao Gao, his expression visibly becoming more complicated.

In the end, he said nothing.

He simply bowed to Luo Ren again, then left and closed the study door.

"…………?"

Gao Gao turned to look at Luo Ren.

"What's wrong with Ollie?"

Luo Ren shook his head: "I don't know."

He genuinely didn't know.

Ollie was talking fine just now, but he fell silent as soon as Gao Gao arrived.

This is not like him.

But Luo Ren didn't think much of it; his gaze had already fallen on the food box at Gao Gao's feet.

Gao Gao doesn't care at all.

Anyway, it's a good thing that Ollie doesn't argue, so she doesn't have to strain her voice.

She kicked the food box lid with her foot: "Quick, try it! Today, Master made braised tofu with wood ear mushrooms and stir-fried night-blooming shiitake mushrooms!"

"Hey, let me tell you, we had so much fun gathering herbs in the Gloomy Plains today! Master got A's in both the morning and afternoon, and even got a new familiar!"

Luo Ren didn't reply, but reached out and opened the food box.

Steam rose up, carrying the unique aroma of mushrooms.

"A familiar?" he asked.

"Yeah, its name is Egg." Gao Gao picked up her spoon and ate her own food, casually replying, "If it could fly, I'd have to make it run errands for me next time."

Luo Ren picked up his chopsticks, showing no surprise or doubt about Pei Yuening having acquired another familiar.

A gentle breeze blew in through the window, carrying the scent of tuberose from the garden.

The bowl in front of Luo Ren was emptied in the blink of an eye as he chatted and laughed.

Gao Gao was used to this, ate her own portion, and even sipped a few mouthfuls of Luo Ren's flower tea.

……

Before we knew it, it was dark.

Pei Yuening left a crack in the window of her bedroom, while she herself drifted off to sleep.

How should I put it? This feeling is quite peculiar.

He could feel that he was dreaming and had a full consciousness, but he did not feel tired because of this clarity.

Pei Yuening was confident that if Dandan used dream magic to help him achieve his ambition, he would definitely succeed.

but.

Instead of pushing yourself too hard, give yourself a break.

In real life, you can just brag about it, but with this awesome skill, who wouldn't want to rush off and chase after a crush?

Pei Yuening wandered aimlessly in a chaotic void, with Dandan perched on his head listening to him sing.

"Eggs."

"put."

"I feel I have the potential to be an idol."

"Wake up, you don't."

"Don't you want to participate in creating stars?"

"Although I am your familiar, I can still distinguish between creating stars and creating evil."

"Then build me a stage in my dreams so I can have some fun."

"No, I'm afraid you'll wake up and continue to indulge in wishful thinking."

Pei Yuening: "..."

Damn, is that nightmare's mouth poisoned?

"Can't you spoil me just this once?" He reached out and brushed the balls off his head, then cupped them in his hands and squeezed them. "I'm already humble enough in reality, what's wrong with letting me show off a little in my dreams?"

His egg was squeezed flat and then bounced back, his tone completely calm: "You call that being humble? You call that being lucidly insane."

"..."

"And," Egg slipped through his fingers and nestled back on his head, "are you sure you want to build a stage for a 10,000-person concert in your dream and then stand on it and sing 'Loyalty to the Country'?"

Pei Yuening's face darkened: "When did I say I was going to sing that?!"

"Your subconscious is playing on a loop; I'm just exposing it."

“…………”

Pei Yuening took a deep breath.

Forget it, why bother arguing with a slime?

It's a character from another world, a guy with no vocal cords, just relying on his connection to the sea of ​​consciousness to spout tired tropes.

Do you even know what art is?

Pei Yuening continued walking aimlessly, his feet treading on what seemed to be either clouds or water, each step creating a faint ripple.

There was nothing around.

There was no light, no sound, no smell, and even time was blurred.

But for some reason, he felt very at ease.

Perhaps it was because the egg was perched on his head keeping him company, and the feeling of having complete control over his dreams was too novel.

"Eggs."

"Um."

Do you think he'll dream about me?

"have no idea."

"Can't you foresee this now?"

"What, want me to set up a divination board for you?" Egg rolled his eyes: "He can only sense it if he actually dreams about it."

"Then why did you brag so much before?"

"That's because you only heard what you wanted to hear; you didn't mention a word of the preconditions I mentioned."

Pei Yuening was momentarily speechless.

Why would you want to crack a password?!

Just as he was about to say something more, the egg on his head suddenly stopped moving.

"Eggs?"

"...Don't make a sound."

The laziness and sharp tongue from before were gone from Egg's tone; in its place was focus.

Pei Yuening felt a faint fluctuation of mental energy coming from the top of his head, and the next second, his testicles bounced off the top of his head.

"Owner."

"No."

Luo Ren dreamed about you.

"oh oh."
