Inside the Qinian Palace, the early spring morning light shines on the wool blanket, and the soft, white texture appears exceptionally warm and cozy.

However, on the bed covered by the white curtains, the beautiful woman with skin as white as cream had a painful expression on her face, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her hair was soaked with fine beads of sweat, and her red lips, which had turned pale, were murmuring.

"No...A Zheng, run away..."

Chu Yuening was deeply trapped in a nightmare.

Somewhere in the weeds, several young men in splendid attire surrounded a child, beating and insulting him. Their innocent faces were filled with malice, their voices mingled with contempt, disgust, and hatred...

"Isn't your Qin State so powerful? You killed 300,000 of my Zhao State's soldiers, and now you're sending your son as a hostage, allowing us to bully you?"

"Hahaha, Qin Yiren is a waste, and you are a waste too!"

"Hiss~ How dare you, that little bastard, bite me? Beat him up! I'll kill that little bastard if I die..."

The obscene words that were unbearable to hear made the young Ying Zheng's eyes fierce. He bit the enemy's arm with his sharp teeth. He completely ignored the punches and kicks on his body and fought back with all his might, like a ferocious wolf cub.

Chu Yuening stared at the little face covered with bruises and her heart was broken.

She stood in front of the child to protect him, but her fist passed through the transparent shadow and landed on the thin shoulder.

She dropped her arms helplessly.

Then, she anxiously called out to little Ying Zheng, trying to get him to escape quickly, but the little wolf cub's eyes were still extremely ferocious, with no intention of retreating at all.

Seeing one of the young men pull out a dagger from his waist, the cold light shone into Chu Yuening's eyes, and she shouted at little Ying Zheng in horror.

"A Zheng, be careful! Run..."

“No, don’t!”

The glaring bright red color frightened Chu Yuening so much that she sat up suddenly. She supported herself on the bed with both hands, gasping for breath, and a trace of shock remained on her pale face.

"Host, did you have a nightmare? Are you okay?"

Detecting that the host's emotions were fluctuating excessively, the system quickly transformed into a cockatiel. It landed on the woman's shoulder and rubbed it with its furry head, trying to comfort her clumsily.

A soft and warm touch came from her cheek, and Chu Yuening calmed down a little. Her unfocused pupils gradually brightened. It turned out that it was just a dream...

But why is it so real?

When Chu Yuening recalled that little face covered with scars, her heart began to ache. Perhaps the bullying that A Zheng suffered in his childhood was more than just this?

"Is mother awake?"

"Father has something to do, so he asked Zhao Zhao to come back early~"

Just when Chu Yuening was immersed in sadness, the cheerful and tender voice of a baby brought her back to reality. The similar little face made her think that she had seen the little Ying Zheng.

So Chu Yuening hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, kissed her chubby little face lovingly, her bright eyes as gentle as a spring pond.

Ying Zhao was a little confused by his mother's enthusiastic attitude.

But he didn't hesitate for long, as he soon became addicted to his mother's sweet and soft touch, his big eyes narrowed into slits in enjoyment.

(Ying Zheng: It's clearly mine...)

After a while, Chu Yuening's mind finally calmed down. She sniffed the milky scent on the cub, and the haze in her eyes disappeared.

The past cannot be retrieved, cherish the people around you.

Now the family of three is happy, with two little babies coming soon. A Zheng's future will surely be as bright and beautiful as the warm sun, and the painful shadows of his youth will slowly dissipate.

"Mom, little bird! Beautiful little bird~"

"Can I touch Zhao Zhao?"

Ying Zhao, who was lying on his mother's shoulder, happened to be staring at the system. He stared at the cute little bird with bright feathers, with a look of "I like it so much~ I like it so much~" written all over his face, but he still did not forget to ask his mother's opinion.

After exchanging the entity for the system, Chu Yuening originally planned to let it come out and move around, so that he wouldn't have to stay alone in the empty space.

She stretched out her hand toward the parrot, motioning it to jump into her palm, and patiently introduced it to the cub.

"Zizi, this is also my family, its name is Yiyi. You two should get along well with each other in the future, okay?"

"Yes, my mother's family is also Zhao Zhao's family. Zhao Zhao will definitely take good care of Yi Yi~"

Ying Zhao nodded seriously, gently stroking the parrot's feathers with his small hands, his big, clear eyes like the azure sky.

Although he is still young and cannot truly understand the meaning of "family", he also knows that family is the most important people, who accompany each other and share with each other.

Well, it’s decided!

From now on, the food will be divided into half for the bird, the toys will be divided into half for the bird, and uh... the books will be divided into half too!

"Wow... Thank you Yue Ning and Zhao Zhao! You are my family too... Wow~"

Hearing the word "family", the system was deeply moved. It excitedly jumped onto the little ball and rubbed against it. Tears the size of rice grains rolled down, wetting the fluffy feathers.

How precious is family to a system without father, mother, friends or any other relatives!

They are just a bunch of empty data, produced by the Administration only to maintain the stability of the Three Thousand Worlds. Although they are equipped with emotional modules, who would care about a tool?

The fate of the system is either to be destroyed or to carry out endless tasks, a cold and lonely "existence", but System 1001 is a lucky system...

"Little Bird, Yi Yi spoke?!"

"Mother, is Zhao Zhao dreaming?"

"Pah pah~"

Ying Zhao stared at the bird in confusion, absolutely certain that the crisp sound just now came from the bird's beak. This was too abnormal.

Although he is small, he is not stupid!
