The baby is so cute.

Just as Number One's mind went blank and he was lost in thought, Mu started to "touch and grope" him. Oh, it seems that Shan had already started touching and groping him a while ago.

Mu first gently pinched his cheek. Because the gesture was so gentle, Number One, who was completely absorbed in his daydream, didn't even realize it. Mu then pinched his chubby little hand and compared it to her own.

It's so small.

then……

"Don't touch my tail!"

Suddenly, Number One sprang up as if it had been electrocuted, hugging its big tail with its two little hands, its face flushed red, and showing its shark teeth in a cute but fierce way.

Mu Ming was clearly taken aback. Was Jing's tail really this sensitive when he was little? He used to let him touch it all he wanted.

I don't know why, but I feel even better.

"Okay, I won't touch it."

But Number One didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She puffed up her cheeks and twisted around in Mu's arms, leaving Mu with a haughty back of her head.

Hmph, just as bad as Sugi~

Two minutes later...

Number One couldn't hold on any longer and slowly twisted his little body back:

Why won't you talk to me?

"Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me?"

Mu looked at the little tuft of hair swaying on the top of Number One's head and asked with amusement.

"I...I..."

Number One paused for a moment, and after a long pause, I still couldn't come up with anything.

It's so strange, he becomes weird when he's with Mu.

Meeting Mu Wenrou's gentle gaze, Number One realized that it was probably because of love.

Of course, Number One doesn't really understand what love is; his love actually refers to familial affection.

If we're talking about who in Ningbao's family is most lacking in love, Mumu would probably be number one, and Number One number two. It's just that Mumu's lack of love is more subtle, while Number One's is more overt. Actually, in terms of personality flaws, Mumu's problem is more serious, but people who don't know her well might not see it.

Similarly, Number One couldn't see it either. In his eyes, Mumu had always acted as the head of the family, taking care of all the children in the family.

But strangely, Number One didn't know if he was being too sensitive. Even though Mu Mu always smiled so gently, he couldn't feel any warmth from her.

Honestly, No. 1 thinks Mumu is really good to them; some biological parents might not even be able to take care of their children to that extent.

But... it's strange, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems like Mumu only shows emotion in her eyes when she looks at Ningbao, that kind of love that encompasses the whole world. Is that why Ningbao feels so confident when Mumu is around? People who are loved wholeheartedly are always confident.

Number One felt as if he saw the kind of love that could give everything in Mu's eyes.

That's really strange.

Number One thought to himself, "Everyone is so strange, and I'm strange too. Maybe the world is just inherently strange."

"What's wrong? Daydreaming again?"

Mu suddenly realized that Jing used to be so prone to daydreaming when he was little. He would drift off after just a few words.

"No...no..."

Number One waved his hands repeatedly, no longer daring to look Mu in the eye.

Ningbao had been accustomed to that kind of love since childhood, so of course she wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it, but Number One...

With a "plop," Number One, like a nimble fish, struggled out of Mu's arms and plunged into the sea. Without saying goodbye, he hurriedly dove into the water.

"Wow, Jing really is Jing. Look, she doesn't want to talk to you at all."

Sugi said with schadenfreude.

"Yeah, he's just taking advantage of the fact that I can't swim."

Mu's tone didn't change much; she calmly looked at the sea.

"I mean, did those plans to bury people with love-struck minds get their inspiration from you? You have a crush on someone, but you don't even give them any reciprocation, and you've even gotten yourself involved. Tsk tsk tsk~ Love-struck minds are really scary."

Shan still spoke in that nonchalant tone, but although he could talk, judging from his facial expression, Mu was probably still in control.

"Then you should be glad that I'm a love-struck person. If I hadn't helped him, you wouldn't have split off."

Mu only turned around and walked back after the water had calmed down.

"Tch, that's too nice to say. You didn't split me out of me voluntarily; you were forced to split me out because you couldn't hold on any longer. But... you're not wrong. If you weren't so stupid, you wouldn't have gotten yourself into such a mess, and then I wouldn't exist."

After finishing his sentence lazily, Shan muted his microphone, clearly not wanting to pay attention to the big idiot and love-obsessed person he saw.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Anyway, if this guy keeps courting death for Jing, his control over his body will only weaken. Once he gains stronger control over his body, he certainly won't be able to keep following Jing around like a puppy anymore.

So now, let him have his crush if he wants.

……

As the people... oh no, the half-deer people slowly walked away, Number One slowly poked his little head out from under the water.

He wasn't really stupid; he could tell something from those two personalities' long monologues.

Number One went through all his memories again with great effort, and there was absolutely nothing missing, so he definitely wasn't Jing.

Why not?

Even though he had been denying it all along, Number One suddenly felt very sad again, probably because Mu's gaze had been so gentle just now. It was a gentleness that contained emotion, not a cold, indifferent gentleness.

Number One touched her chest with her little hand, admitting that she might be a little jealous. That Jing is so awful, so incredibly lucky.

If someone loved him as much as Mumu loved Ningbao… oh, there are no "ifs" in this world.

……

"Mumumumu~"

As the saying goes, those who are favored are always fearless. Ningbao is demonstrating 108 ways to act cute right now, such as rolling around in front of Mumu.

Cough, don't get me wrong, Ningbao is working so hard just to eat one more piece of cake.

And she seems to have found some fun in rolling around. Look, she's found a way to move on land that doesn't require jumping or walking.

Hmph, who said Xiao Ningbao is stupid?

Children have a strong instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Because her lower body is a fish tail and her upper body is wrapped in a small shawl made of seaweed, Ningbao can roll around very recklessly.

If these were normal clothes...

Ning Bao won't do it!

Mumu looked at the silly child rolling around in front of her with a speechless expression. "Why did you have to play this... well... game that really tests your skin's resilience?"

And does she even care if her clothes are dirty? Rolling on the ground like that, doesn't it hurt if her skin gets scratched by little seashells or something?

Well, Number One isn't some nobody; he's insecure.

Number One: That guy named Jing is so awful, he doesn't know how lucky he is! 凸(>皿<)凸

Shan: Hey, Mu, did you hear that? This little idiot is cursing himself.

Mu: (Still lost in her own world) Jing won't let me touch her tail anymore.
