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

The next morning.

Ye Jiyun slept well last night and was in a good mood when she woke up this morning.

He was escorted downstairs by servants, and as soon as he entered the dining room, he smelled a delicious aroma.

The shrimp dumplings were steaming in the steamer, next to a bowl of thick, golden corn porridge and a small dish of rose vinegar.

Pei Yuening sat at the table feeding Xueqiu milk, while Dandan and Juanjuan ate heartily beside her.

I just didn't see Gao Gao.

Pei Yuening heard the noise, turned around and saw the person, her eyes lit up for a moment.

"Brother, you're up? Come and have breakfast."

Ye Jiyun smiled and walked over to sit down: "Why are you up so early? What time did you get up?"

"It's not early, it's not early either. I won't be able to sleep for long." Pei Yuening handed him a fork. "Try it, I made two kinds of shrimp dumplings."

Ye Jiyun picked one up.

The translucent outer skin encases tender and bouncy shrimp meat, and even adds layers of flavor with chopped carrots and fish roe.

Pei Yuening's cooking skills are undoubtedly top-notch; the taste goes without saying, and the presentation is also first-rate.

After finishing one, Ye Jiyun felt increasingly unsatisfied.

"tasty."

Pei Yuening, sitting opposite him, smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Of course."

Juanjuan and Dandan have started fighting over the last shrimp dumpling.

"Juanjuan! Let go of me!"

"No!! This dumpling is mine because it's right here!"

……

Pei Yuening drank her corn porridge without changing her expression, ignoring the commotion around her.

After a long while, Ye Jiyun also put down her cutlery.

He took the wine glass from the butler and rinsed his mouth, then looked at Pei Yuening and casually asked, "What are the plans for today?"

……

"You've eaten so much!!"

……

Pei Yuening shook her head: "No, I was thinking of resting at home. Is brother busy?"

Ye Jiyun: "No, I was just thinking that if you want to go out and have fun, I can make some arrangements and accompany you."

……

"Never mind it! It says my name on it!"

"You're lying! Where would you find that?"

"Only a smart egg can see that."

……

Pei Yuening: "I don't really want to go out. How about we just stay home and play?"

Ye Jiyun: "Okay, then wait a moment."

"Um!"

Ye Jiyun stood up and took two steps toward the study.

Pei Yuening got up and clung to him eagerly.

Ye Jiyun turned around: "What's wrong?"

"No."

Ye Jiyun didn't say anything, but when he turned around, Pei Yuening followed him again.

"...Is there something you want to tell me?"

Ye Jiyun felt a chill run down her spine.

Could it be that he's asking me to let him out to see Luo Ren...?

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuening spoke up.

"No," he said.

"What are you trying to do?"

"I just want to follow you."

Pei Yuening stood half a step away from Ye Jiyun, obediently looking up at him.

"……All right."

All morning, Pei Yuening followed Ye Jiyun around like a tail.

When he reads official documents, he moves a chair to sit next to him and sticks to it; when he receives guests, he stands behind him and accompanies them.

Ye Jiyun occasionally wanted a cup of tea, and Pei Yuening was always very attentive to her.

Well, how should I put it?

Although he was happy, the timing was not right.

He had just agreed to let Luo Ren and Pei Yuening continue their relationship, fearing that if he accepted any benefits from him, Pei Yuening might utter some outrageous remarks later.

It's not impossible for someone to apply for permission to stay out all night.

Ye Jiyun was both happy and terrified.

Until the afternoon.

A hand-painted Ludo board is laid out on the coffee table in the living room.

The edges of the paper were neatly trimmed, and routes were drawn in different colored pens within the grid, with the starting and ending points clearly marked.

Four sets of chess pieces are placed next to the chessboard.

I took four pieces of each type of jade (black and white) and amber (light and dark shades), and neatly arranged them to one side.

Ye Jiyun was forced to sit to one side.

"Would you like to play chess?" he asked.

Pei Yuening nodded, then shook her head.

"Uh... well, you could say that."

Yes, Pei Yuening is going to play chess again.

He didn't know how to play at all; he didn't recognize any of the pieces, like the rooks or knights, but that didn't stop him from playing Ludo with the chess pieces.

Gao Gao was attracted by the cookies on the table. She dropped the building blocks in her hand and flew over in the blink of an eye, landing on the edge of the chessboard and peeking around.

"Master, what is this?! Why is there milk?!"

"This is a grid," Pei Yuening pushed her aside, "You can drink it if you happen to come across it."

"Then I'll leave now!"

"It hasn't started yet."

Egg slowly bounced over: "Is it fun? I want to play too."

"OK."

Ye Jiyun looked around and asked, "Where's Juanjuan?"

"The housekeeper took them to play in the garden," Pei Yuening said. "And there was Snowball too."

"it is good."

Ye Jiyun reached out and picked up a dark amber-colored chess piece: "How do we play this?"

Pei Yuening explained the rules to him.

Adults who lose drink alcohol, children who lose drink milk.

Upon hearing this, Gao Gao immediately exploded: "Why can I only drink milk?!"

"What kind of alcohol is this, little brat?"

"I've lived much longer than you!"

"That won't work either."

Gao Gao: "…………"

After thinking it over, she dashed to the kitchen cabinet, pulled out a few cranberry cookies, broke them into pieces, and put them in the compartment.

"If I lose, I have to eat this!"

Pei Yuening: "...Are you sure this is punishment?"

"Never mind."

The game has begun.

Ye Jiyun picked it up quickly; he rolled a six in the first round.

Pei Yuening missed the target and was punished by having to drink a small glass of wine.

"...Brother, did you secretly practice?"

"no."

"Then how come you're so lucky?"

"It's innate, I guess."

Pei Yuening continued to hit the wine racks one after another, drinking one glass after another.

GaoGao and DanDan took turns stepping on the milk tray. DanDan was quite bold at first, but as he drank more, the black slime was almost soaked white by the milk.

Gao Gao started burping after drinking two cups, without even getting a single bite of cookie.

She almost vomited.

Pei Yuening's face grew increasingly red, and her hand began to tremble as she threw the dice.

When he stepped on the wine grid for the second time, he could no longer accurately read the numbers on the dice.

"What is this...? Why is it so potent..." he muttered. "I even specifically chose the mildest flavor..."

Ye Jiyun reached out to stop him from reaching for the cup: "That's enough."

"Hmm?" Pei Yuening looked up at him, her eyes a little unfocused. "It's still early..."

You're drunk.

"I don't……"

As he spoke, his head slumped down, and his forehead bumped against Ye Jiyun's shoulder.

Ye Jiyun sighed and took the die from his hand.

"Gao Gao," he said, "you guys play by yourselves for a while, and remember to eat the cookies on the table."

"Okay!" Gao Gao replied quickly, still in high spirits.

Ye Jiyun bent down, supporting Pei Yuening's back with one hand and putting the other hand under his knees to lift him up in her arms.

Pei Yuening tilted her head against his shoulder, mumbling something incoherently.

Ye Jiyun didn't hear clearly.

As soon as Pei Yuening left, Gao Gao started acting up, filling all the squares of the chessboard with cookies and taking a bite as a reward after every two steps.

Ye Jiyun carried Pei Yuening upstairs and gently pushed open his bedroom door.

Sunlight streamed in through the half-open curtains, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of magical energy pulled the curtains taut.

He placed Pei Yuening on the bed, gently removed his outer clothes, and then pulled the blanket over him.

Pei Yuening rolled over, rubbed her cheek against the pillow, instinctively found a comfortable position, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Ye Jiyun sat by the bed.

He didn't leave immediately, but sat there, watching Pei Yuening's sleeping face.

His cheeks were flushed, and his breath carried the unique aroma of red wine.

Ye Jiyun smiled and gently stroked his soft hair.

Then he lowered his head, gently kissed Pei Yuening's forehead, and got up to leave.
