When Heroie came out dressed, her little face was flushed from the steam, and she looked like a freshly steamed bun.

Wenshu led his soft little hand downstairs, where the spicy aroma of ginger soup already wafted through the living room.

Upon seeing the main insect come downstairs, 001 immediately brought out the ginger soup and poured it into a bowl.

"Father, what is this?"

Herroy's keen sense of smell made her frown at the pungent odor.

"It's for warding off the cold, Yi Yi must drink it!"

Manjushri handed him a bowl, then tilted his head back and gulped down a bowl himself, instantly feeling completely refreshed.

After finishing his drink, he turned to look at his son, who was still frowning, his little face scrunched up in a frown.

His big eyes were fixed on the brownish-yellow soup in the bowl. He brought his nose close to sniff it again and again, and then pulled it back again and again.

Clearly, he had never tasted such a pungent soup before, and the entire worm, from its head to its tail, was expressing its utter resistance.

Seeing his alarmed expression, Manjushri couldn't help but smile and explain, "Yiyi was exposed to the wind for a long time, wasn't she? She won't get sick if she drinks this now."

Really? But female insects don't get sick very often, do they?

Heroui didn't understand, but he was very obedient.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally mustered up the courage to pick up the bowl, pinch his nose, and gulp down the ginger soup.

After drinking it, his face scrunched up even more, and he stuck out his tongue and panted, like a kitten that had stolen a sip of chili water.

Manjushri quickly pulled a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the coating, and fed it to the little one's mouth: "Alright, alright."

He casually took the empty bowl from the child and placed it on the table. Just as he was about to call 001 over to order, he suddenly remembered something important:

A new member has joined our family!

Slightly guilty, Manjushri picked up the baby and placed her on his lap, asking, "Yiyi, do you know what your mother likes to eat?"

Holoi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know."

Back at home, neither he nor his wife had the right to order food;

Most of the dishes on the table were ordered by Xiongfu, and only the leftovers could be touched after Xiongfu had eaten his fill.

Moreover, most of the time, the father-in-law wasn't even home for meals, and when he did come back to keep him company, it was always in a rush...

"Ah..." Manjushri felt utterly terrible.

Just as he was worrying about what to order for dinner that evening to cater to Herroyen's tastes, a commotion came from the living room!

It was Herroyen who came downstairs.

He changed into a set of dry home clothes; the dark gray cotton fabric made him look softer, losing the sharp edge he had when he was in uniform.

Herroyen walked to the living room sofa and sat down, leaning slightly against the cushions. His posture wasn't exactly relaxed, but it was much better than his usual imposing demeanor.

Just as he sat down, the doorbell rang.

004 had moved to the entrance hall at some point. After receiving the message from the insect outside the door, it emitted a flat, mechanical voice: "Reporting to the master insect, the quantum computer you purchased has been delivered."

Herroyen leaned back on the sofa, not even lifting his eyelids, and simply said, "Open the door."

004's robotic arm reached out and turned the lock. The door opened, and a delivery bug in uniform stood at the door, holding an exquisite and perfectly packaged gift box with a gold-stamped logo of a high-end brand on its surface.

Manjushri was puzzled. A quantum computer?

What is that?

However, Holoi, nestled in his arms, suddenly brightened up.

It's a quantum computer!

The female father said he would give him a personal computer, and I didn't expect it to arrive so soon!

The delivery bug carrying the gift box walked in through the door, its gaze sweeping across the living room before spotting a composed female bug sitting on the sofa... Hmm? Wait a minute? Is that the famous Marshal?

Beside the dining table sat a noble male insect and... a 'little female insect' being held in his arms??

Although he didn't understand why the little female insect was so favored, his professional instincts made him immediately lock onto the noble 'male insect'!

After all, in this society where there are more females than males, male insects are the true dominant species.

He walked straight to Manjushri, bowed respectfully, and presented the gift box to Manjushri with both hands.

"Hello, sir, this is the top-of-the-line optical computer in our brand. Please sign for it."

The moment he opened his mouth, Herroyen's gaze darkened.

His fingers tightened slightly on his knees, a strange unease rising within him.

He deliberately had the computer delivered to his home by the insect. His original intention was to test whether the male master would get angry because of the expensive computer.

(Although after the drowning incident in the afternoon, based on the male master's attitude towards the cub, he had a vague guess that the male master probably wouldn't hold it against him.)

But he never expected that this brainless delivery bug would pull such a stunt.

Without even asking who the receiving insect was, it immediately started fawning over the male insect!

Holoyen glared at the delivery bug, his anger rising even higher.

It's not that he can't afford to give away two quantum computers, nor that he doesn't want to give them to the powerful ruler;

It's just a quantum computer; it's nothing to him!

It was just that this was the first time he could openly buy such expensive items for his son, and he didn't want to be robbed of them by some twist of fate!

And then there was the attitude of that stupid delivery guy, which made him extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely annoyed!

Herroyen leaned back on the sofa, his golden eyes turning colder, but he remained silent.

After all, he has no other choice but to continue down this path!

When the delivery bug shoved the beautifully packaged gift box in front of Manjushri, he was stunned for a long time, completely bewildered, wondering, "What is this?", "Why is it being given to me?", and "What should I say?"

He opened his mouth, not yet figuring out how to respond, when Heroiyi in his arms leaned out and reached her little hand toward the gift box.

"be mine!"

Heroyee's voice was crisp and clear, tinged with eager excitement, "My father bought it for me!"

Manjushri looked down at the little boy's bright face, then looked up at Holoyen on the sofa. With just one glance, he inexplicably felt that this "female father" seemed to be sulking about something.

Who upset him?

The delivery insect was clearly taken aback, but seeing that the noble male insect was neither angry nor reprimanding, it had no choice but to hand the gift box to the little female insect.

Holoi hugged the box, which was "bigger than his upper body," with both arms, turned and ran to the sofa, presenting it to his father like a treasure.

"Father-daughter! Father-daughter! Is this it? Is it mine?"

Looking into the baby's bright, sparkling eyes, Herroyen's nameless anger finally subsided a little.

He reached out and took the box, deftly tearing off the seal with his fingertips, taking out the small and exquisite optical computer inside, and then 'quickly' fastening it onto the child's wrist.

The screen of the quantum computer suddenly lit up, emitting a faint blue glow that reflected Heroie's excited little face.

The delivery bug bowed to Manjushri, then walked up to Heroion and bowed to him again, leaving behind the words, "Thank you for your purchase. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!" before leaving.

Herroyen watched him leave silently, cursing inwardly, "I'll fucking contact you! If there's a problem, I'll just file a complaint against you!"

At the dining table, Manjushri, who had remained silent until now, had countless questions surfacing in his usually calm mind:

A quantum computer? Why does it look so much like an electronic watch?

Could this thing be equivalent to a cell phone in his world?

Holy crap! I've been complaining for over half a month about not having a phone!

Now you're telling me it's not that society's technology is backward, but that I'm ignorant?
