There was an unnaturally raised little tail on Heroiyi's lower back.

His little tail was often hidden by his loose clothes, because Yulis hated Holoi's insect-like transformation and all the external characteristics that belonged to female insects!

So, Holoiyi could only endure the discomfort and try her best to fold up her little ears, paws, and wings!

The small antennae and tail are clearly beyond the control of a one-year-old insect larva.

It's too difficult; he can't do it.

This meant that every day, he had to curl his tail up and tuck it into his waistband, keeping it pressed down, stuffy, and enduring it.

Endure the twisting discomfort, endure the tingling and numbness caused by poor blood circulation, endure the dull pain from the little tail...

This is why Herroy's clothes are "large" and her waistband is always tied very tightly.

Sometimes, he would even unconsciously reach out and tug at the fabric behind him, making small, quick movements, as if afraid of being discovered by his father.

When it's time to sleep at night, Holoi will secretly let it out, letting its fluffy little tail spread out on its side so it can catch its breath.

Manjushri took a deep breath, and a few fragments of memory flashed through his mind;

Even though his memory of "Yulis hating little tails" was faint, that faint memory was enough for him to see the whole picture from a glimpse.

"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, don't be afraid."

"Father, turn on a small lamp, Yi Yi, don't be afraid."

As he spoke, Manjushri reached out and turned on the small lamp on the bedside table.

Then, he gently lifted the hem of Holoi's pajamas, and in the light of the small lamp, he saw a cruel scene:

He pitifully curled his fluffy little tail several times and then tucked it into the gap between his waistband and skin.

The tip of the tail was squeezed out of shape, and some of the fur was even pressed up, causing the entire tail to tremble in an unusual way.

That was clearly an uncontrollable spasm of the muscles after being compressed for too long.

Manjushri's breath hitched; his throat felt like it was blocked by something, making it so uncomfortable that he couldn't utter a single word.

And Herroy was trembling the whole time.

From the moment his tail was exposed to the air, the entire insect seemed to be electrocuted, forgetting even to breathe.

He could sense that his father's movements had stopped. Although he dared not raise his head, he knew that his father must have seen his ugly, unwanted tail.

He almost instinctively shrank back, then frantically tried to pull at the hem of his clothes;

It tried to cover up the exposed tail again, to curl it up, tuck it back in, and hide it well...

"Yi Yi".

Before Holoiyi could even turn over halfway, the entire insect was enveloped in a scalding embrace, the male father holding him tightly in his arms, airtight.

This hug almost scared him so much that he revealed his true form.

"Hero...Heroic Father..."

Herroy's voice trembled violently, like raindrops broken by a gale, so faint as to be almost inaudible.

The word "father" was squeezed out of his throat, the last syllable broken into several pieces, and it was accompanied by a heavy sobbing and nasal tone.

He didn't know what to say.

Beg for mercy? Apologize?

He wasn't even sure why his father was angry.

Could it be because you saw the tail?

Or is it because I rolled out of my father's arms?

Or perhaps... the male father finally discovers that he is a terrible little female insect that can never be liked?

When Manjushri heard that trembling "father," he felt as if he were sharing the pain with his child.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the sadness surging in his chest, so as not to affect Heroiyi again.

This little one has been frightened for far too long.

"My father is alright."

Manjushri's voice came down from above Heroiyi's head, deep and steady, each word pronounced clearly.

He deliberately slowed down his speech to sound calm and reassuring, like soothing a kitten that might become agitated at any moment.

"Don't be afraid, Yi Yi."

"Shall we let our tails out?"

Herroy's body stiffened abruptly.

Release them?

The father meant... to let him let his tail out?

Manjushri felt the small body in his arms suddenly tense up, but he didn't stop and continued to untangle his knot: "Our Yi Yi's little tail is so fluffy and cute."

Holoi was dumbfounded again; he couldn't understand the sentence at all.

Cute?

"My father likes it very much."

Manjushri's voice rang out again, soft and almost pleading: "Can Yi Yi let her tail out?"

At this moment, Heroi's little mind was in complete chaos.

Doesn't the father hate his tail anymore?

He doesn't understand.

Holoi turned her head blankly to look at her little tail that had been released.

At first glance, he noticed that the fur on his tail was messy and sticking up, some of it was squeezed out of place by his pants, and some parts were even knotted. The whole tail looked frizzy and ugly.

No wonder the father didn't like it before; who would like such an ugly tail?

"It's true."

Manjushri seemed to see through his thoughts, and lowered his voice even further, speaking with even greater sincerity and honesty:

"Daddy didn't lie to Yi Yi, our Yi Yi's little tail is really beautiful."

"From now on, Yi Yi will let her tail out every day, okay?"

Heroie looked up and, by the light from the small lamp, saw his father's face clearly.

On that familiar face, the brows were slightly furrowed, the eyes were unusually red, and the lips were pressed into a line;

But it wasn't anger or disgust; it was a new kind of expression that he "couldn't understand."

However, he realized one thing: if he didn't agree, his father would probably start crying the next second!

He didn't want his father to cry.

Heroie nodded hurriedly and forcefully, as if afraid her father wouldn't see it;

At the same time, his tears also started falling.

According to the law of conservation of energy:

There's always someone who has to cry. Holoiyi couldn't bear to see her father cry, so she cried first.

With lightning speed, Manjushri hugged the sobbing baby tightly. He felt the small patch of fabric on his chest was soaked with sweat, but he still didn't let go. He gently rested his chin on the top of Heroiyi's head and softly comforted him:

"Don't cry, Yi Yi. Your father will never bully you again."

"From today onwards, how about Daddy and Yiyi protect Little Tail together?"

"Our Yi Yi is the best baby, don't cry, it's all Daddy's fault, it's all Daddy's fault..."

"No, no..." Holoi hurriedly covered her father's mouth with her small hand. This was the first time she had touched her father on her own initiative.

Heroie corrected her, word by word: "It wasn't the father's fault."

"Okay," Manjushri understood that his little one was feeling sorry for him, but the more he did this, the angrier he became at his little one suffering from "Yulis's abuse".

"Then Yi Yi, please stop crying. Xiong Fu did nothing wrong, and neither did Yi Yi."

"Our Yi Yi is the best."

Seeing that the little boy had finally recovered, Manjushri quickly wiped away the tears on his face.

To prevent him from crying again, Manjushri kept wiping away his tears and coaxing him.

But Holoi already possessed the maturity expected of a "5-year-old insect cub," so he quickly stopped crying and obediently began to speak:

"Father, I'm not crying anymore."

"Mmm," Manjushri kissed his forehead, praising him generously, "I saw it, our Yi Yi is really great, so amazing."

While praising him, Manjushri reached out and touched his little tail.

His movements were very gentle and slow, as if he were afraid of hurting it. His fingertips stroked down the hair at the base of the tail inch by inch, smoothing out the tangled hair that had been pressed up.

The sensation traveled up from the little tail, like a tingling electric current running down my spine.

Holoi shuddered, which made him very shy, and he 'whooshed' into his father's neck.

This was the first time he had ever been so bold as to approach her on his own initiative, not because his father had forced him to.

The father smelled wonderful, which compelled him, almost unconsciously, to clench his father's clothes tighter and tighter, as if afraid that if he let go, everything would disappear!

But since it was already very late, a few minutes later, Wenshu had to remind the baby that it was time to go to sleep.

Holoi immediately lay down obediently, the whole insect nestled in its father's arms!

After closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think: His father was so good to him because he accidentally fell into the water.

If the father falls into the water every day, wouldn't he get better and better?

This discovery excited the entire worm, Heroiyi.

At the same time, he couldn't resist the temptation to pray to the insect god: he wished that his father could fall into the water every day!

That way, he can have a pair of loving parents, just like the little male insect!
