Herroy chattered on and on, as if she wanted to spill every little thing that happened last night, even reporting how many sips of tea Sirland had before going to bed.

Manjushri found it both amusing and heartbreaking. She lowered her head and kissed his forehead. When they reached the school gate, she had to put him down and then nudged his back. "Alright, alright, hurry up and go in, or you'll be late."

Heroyi reluctantly said goodbye to his father. He ran towards the school gate, turning back every few steps. When he reached the corner, he turned back and waved to his father again. Finally, he turned around and skipped into the teaching building.

After Yi Yi's figure completely disappeared, Wen Shu turned around and then discovered that Lin Zhuoran was still standing in the same spot, looking up at the sky in a strange way, just like a silly goose gazing at the sky, or rather, a "waiting-for-husband stone".

What are you doing?

Lin Zhuoran remained motionless, uttering a poignant farewell: "I watched him leave."

"..." Manjushri followed his gaze and looked at the boundless blue sky and white clouds. Only a few wisps of clouds remained, and even the shadow of the starship could hardly be found.

"Have you finished delivering? Can we leave now?"

"Alright," Lin Zhuoran finally turned his gaze away, but couldn't help but sigh regretfully, his tone carrying a touch of ancient scholar's vicissitudes, "Times have changed."

"What's the difference?" Manjushri asked as they walked. "Weren't you two never together from beginning to end?"

"You don't understand."

After considering it for a moment, Manjushri decided to persuade his brother to turn back from the wrong path: "Why don't you just give up?"

"You spend all your time in the orphanage and don't get to see him much, so why make yourself miserable?"

Lin Zhuoran shook his head, the image of Sirland still lingering in his mind. "No, if there's no opportunity, we'll create one. I won't give up."

"If you're not going to help me, shut up, or I'll beat you to death."

Manjushri gave in, "Alright, alright, I'll ask Ian when I get home tonight and find out for you."

Lin Zhuoran's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?"

"Fake."

"Hahahaha..." Lin Zhuoran burst into laughter, put his hand on his brother's shoulder, and said, "Alright, then my happiness for the rest of my life depends on you!"

"Get out!"

After boarding the warship, they returned to the orphanage within minutes.

They continued to accompany the little female insects as before, and did not become perfunctory because of yesterday's physical examination results.

Manjushri was surrounded by a group of tiny, fleshy creatures, each a few months old. He held one in his arms, another perched on his lap, and two others clung to his clothes, refusing to let go. He had no choice but to nestle on the soft cushion and tell these little guys stories. When he got excited, he would even gesture wildly to indicate the names of the creatures. The little females listened with wide eyes, occasionally letting out exclamations of "Oh!", "Wow!", and "Ah!"

Lin Zhuoran squatted to the side, changing the diaper of a little bug that had just woken up. He was flustered and kept muttering, "Don't kick, don't kick," his face saying, "This is too hard for me."

Around 5 p.m., Holoyen, unusually free of business, drove his starship directly to the Orphanage to pick up the male master.

When Manjushri received the message, he was surrounded by a dozen little female insects telling him stories. The quantum computer on his wrist kept vibrating, and he couldn't free his hands, so he had to let it ring.

After waiting at the door for a long time without receiving a reply, and unwilling to stand outside idly, Holoyen went in to find the lord himself.

He pushed open the door and looked around. He saw that the room was full of chirping little insects, lying haphazardly on the cushions and chairs. His male master was surrounded in the center, like an insect being kidnapped by a group of little fur balls, unable to move.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are the other caregivers?" Heroin strode over, looked down at the scene, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

When Manjushri looked up and saw him coming, his eyes lit up. However, because he was tightly held by the little female insects and could not get up, he could only tilt his head back and answer, "They went to pick out new clothes for the children."

"I heard there are many styles, like those onesies with little ears. Soon they'll all be able to wear their new clothes."

"Really?" Heroyen sat down beside him, reached out and gently lifted the sleeping insect offspring from the male's arms into his own.

Unexpectedly, the next second, two sharp-eyed little creatures, as if they had been eyeing that spot for a long time, crawled over and buried themselves in the empty embrace of Manjushri, nuzzling against him and refusing to leave.

Holoyen looked down at the one in his arms and the two in the male's arms, and his lips twitched slightly.

"My lord, let's go out for dinner tonight."

"Sure, we can go together when I pick Yi Yi up from school later."

"No," Holoyen said decisively, then leaned closer, "I'm not taking him. I've sent my father-in-law to pick him up."

"Just the two of us will go in a bit. We'll eat first, then we'll go to my father-in-law's house to pick him up."

After he finished speaking, he added, as if to make his words sound more reasonable, "Think about it, didn't Yi Yi stay at his place yesterday and it went quite well? They got along so well."

"Huh?" Manjushri hesitated for a moment, still feeling a little guilty. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Father? He took care of her all night yesterday, and now he's going to pick her up again today..."

"How could that be?" Herroyen lied without batting an eye. "He's wanted to take Yi Yi away for a long time, but I just wouldn't let him."

"My lord, don't worry. It's only the time it takes to eat a meal, and Yi Yi is so obedient, she'll definitely be fine."

Manjushri hesitated for a few seconds, but finally softened and said, "Alright then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Herroyen's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and even the little bug he was holding seemed to sense something, kicking its legs and whimpering.
