Heroie cried and screamed in the lake, screaming until his voice was hoarse, screaming until he was filled with regret for ever having insisted on making his father go into the water...

After struggling underwater for a while, Manjushri finally managed to touch the shore, but it was paved with smooth tiles that became as slippery as ice when wet, and his fingers couldn't grip it at all.

He tried to pry himself off, but the slippery surface caused him to sink back into the water...

Just then!

A thick, large arm came through his back and precisely wrapped around his waist.

With a quick pull and a lift, Herroyen helped him resurface almost effortlessly.

With a "whoosh," Manjushri was finally reborn.

He was almost completely encircled in Heroyen's arms, but he didn't care. He just kept trying to inhale as much fresh air as possible, then scrambled to the shore and coughed violently...

His ears were filled with water, making a buzzing sound, but even so, he could clearly hear a firm, fierce, angry voice:

"Heroy, what are you doing!"

Manjushri was startled by the shout and opened his eyes. As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the little baby in the water had a pale face. It was so frightened by the roar that it could not even cry out. All that was left on its face was what was either tears or lake water.

After being yelled at, Heroiyi was filled with fear and dread, and he didn't even have the courage to look up.

The next second, there were a few more "splashing" sounds, and Herroyen, carrying him in one arm and the baby in the other, brought them ashore together.

Holoyen's gaze was fixed on the male lord, who was panting heavily, water dripping down his hair and clothes...

The little cub stood frozen in place, its tail drooping timidly, not daring to utter a sound.

For a moment, Herroyen felt that both of them were incredibly troublesome.

After recovering, Manjushri looked up at Holoyen, safe and sound.

He was still wearing the same uniform he wore at noon, but now it was mostly wet. His hair was plastered to his brow bone, and his golden eyes were filled with a dark undercurrent of fear and anger. His jaw was clenched tightly.

Manjushri opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened it again.

His mind screamed wildly: No! This is just too embarrassing!

Okay, okay, this is really bad!

The second time they met, he was caught leading the kids astray, and then he himself ridiculously drowned!

Manjushri didn't dare to breathe loudly. He looked down at his disheveled appearance, soaked to the bone, and then at his cub...

Um... the kid lowered his head, so you can't see his expression, but you can tell without even thinking that it must be terrible!

Manjushri closed his eyes, wishing he could jump back into the lake!

Ah no no no no no no no, that's not it!

They should just dig a hole and crawl in, so they won't choke on water and won't cause any more trouble for anyone!

Herroyn's eyes darkened slightly as he turned his gaze from the cub to the male lord's flushed face.

His tone softened, and he asked with concern, "My lord, are you alright?"

Manjushri waved his hand, coughed twice, and said awkwardly, "N-nothing..."

"Why don't you go back and change your clothes first?" Heroyen's gaze lingered on his soaked clothes for a moment before moving away. "I'll have Yiyi apologize to you formally later."

Although Holoyen already knew that the lord had changed, he did not diminish his attitude, after all, "just in case!"

Manjushri's voice was a few degrees more urgent than before: "No, no, no, it's not Yi Yi's fault. I'm fine now, really!"

Heroin stared at his face for two seconds, as if judging the truthfulness of his words... before nodding slightly: "Okay, then I'll take you back to your room to change your clothes."

Manjushri opened his mouth, wanting to say, "I can go back by myself," but when he looked up and met Heroion's golden eyes, he swallowed the words back.

There was an unyielding stubbornness in those eyes, as if he couldn't do anything else in peace unless he personally escorted him to his room.

"Hmm," Manjushri finally responded.

He had just taken a step, but before his foot even touched the ground, he was suddenly lifted into the air.

Herroyen's arms went under his knees and lower back, lifting him up in a horizontal embrace.

The movements were so swift and precise, as if they had been done a thousand times before, steady and methodical, without even a lapse in breathing.

A buzzing sound came from Manjushri's mind, as if something had exploded.

No? My God, the Grand Marshal!!!

You didn't specify that this was how you would "deliver" it!

His body instinctively struggled, his feet kicking futilely in mid-air, but when he caught a glimpse of how far he was from the ground, he froze instantly.

No, that's way too high!

Now Manjushri finally understands why some children would cry even harder when he held and comforted them at the orphanage!

If your hand accidentally slips, wouldn't you panic?

He remained frozen in Herroyen's arms, not daring to move, even his breathing became soft.

Herroyen kept his eyes down, his steps steady and even.

He carried Manjushri across the lawn, around the pebbled path, and into the villa gate, each step taken at a leisurely pace.

But he was not at peace, because the male ruler in his arms was too quiet, unusually so.

If Yulis had been held like this before, he would have already cursed and swore. But now, Manjushri was silent, and even his struggles only lasted for a moment before stopping. His quietness made Manjushri feel uneasy.

Is he really going to get sick from holding it in?

Heroion wasn't sure, but he had already vented his anger on Yi Yi by the lake, and he didn't let the little one come in with him.

He made his stance very clear: I will definitely punish Heroiyi accordingly later!

But the current attitude of the powerful ruler seems to have deviated from his expectations...

If the male ruler insists on taking action himself, how can he protect the insect offspring?

Herroyen's thoughts raced through his mind, but his steps remained steady. When he came to his senses, he realized he had already reached the door of the master bedroom.

He paused for a moment, but seeing that the master did not intend to stop him, he went straight in and then bent down to gently place him on the sofa chair.

After Manjushri sat down, he was still in a dazed state.

He stared intently at Herroyen, watching him turn and walk to the wardrobe, open the door, deftly take out a bath towel and a set of clean clothes, then walk back and stand in front of him.

Manjushri's throat bobbed, his gaze falling on the set of clothes in Herroyen's hand, and a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could it be that he was going to help him change his clothes himself?

The next second, something even more outrageous happened!

Suddenly, Holoyen's knees touched the ground, his back straight, and he... knelt down in front of him without warning!

Then, he held the towel and clothes in both hands, raising them to chest height, and said in a low, respectful voice, as if reciting some ceremonial phrase: "My lord, please allow me to dry your body and change your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Manjushri's brain instantly went blank!

What the hell? ? ?
