The first weekend after the start of the school year has arrived.

Qu Jian'er was finally able to stay in bed with her human-shaped pillow, but was woken up by her phone ringing, which she had forgotten to silence.

Zuo Chen answered: "Hello?"

Bai Wei on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time, her tone extremely heavy. She said, "It's 7:13 in the morning now. Usually, she won't wake up at this time."

Zuo Chen glanced at the person clinging to him like an octopus and nodded seriously.

Qu Jian'er was indeed still asleep.

Hearing the sound, she only showed a sleepy look in her eyes, then tightened her arms and continued to sleep.

Bai Wei was on the verge of collapse: "So, Mr. Zuo, can you tell me why it was you who answered the call?"

Zuo Chen told the truth: "Because she was sleeping."

Bai Wei was exasperated: "What I mean is, how come your phones and hers were so close together? Did you two sleep together?!"

Zuo Chen thought for a moment and said, "Hmm."

He was also unwilling to sleep in the same bed as Qu Jian'er, not because he didn't want to, but because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself. After all, this real child was not yet an adult.

What can be done?

Unable to resist Qu Jian'er's fiery enthusiasm.

I've been enduring this for so long, I'm practically practicing some kind of superhuman skill.

Zuo Chen's answer struck Bai Wei like a ton of bricks. She stood there, stunned, at the spaceship's docking port, and Meng Qingyang's voice failed to bring her back to her senses.

Bai Wei grabbed Meng Qingyang's arm: "She, she, she and Zuo... Phew, I must not be fully awake."

He only said half of what he meant.

Bai Wei blamed herself for the problem of "attracting onlookers because of making a fuss".

It's because she hasn't yet mastered the skill of remaining calm and composed in the face of both honor and disgrace; she hasn't experienced enough trials and tribulations.

The fact that Qu Jian'er and Zuo Chen were sleeping in the same room still shocked her.

That's right.

She was uncharacteristically stubborn, believing that Qu Jian'er was simply sharing a room with Zuo Chen.

Meng Qingyang asked, "Sister Weiwei, where should we go first?"

He carried the suitcase and acted as Bai Wei's assistant, taking over Xiao Zhang's work.

Xiao Zhang took his place.

Help him take care of the three little ones.

His pheromones marked those around him.

His nature led him to choose her.

The first appearance of pheromones signifies the imminent arrival of the orcs' coming-of-age ceremony.

Meng Qingyang smiled and looked at Bai Wei.

He used to not understand what genetic selection was, but when his nature led him to have close contact with people, he found that he could not escape this theory either.

He turned his head to look at the person next to him.

A wolf slightly bent his thumb.

He felt as if the other person's warmth still lingered there, and he recalled his recklessness a few days earlier.

His long-term contact with Bai Wei made him realize his feelings for her, but it also brought his coming-of-age ceremony to an end.

Pheromones become extremely unstable.

That day.

He seemed to have cornered the person.

With her fingertips, she stroked Bai Wei's lips from the cupid's bow outwards, slightly stretching the lips of the person beside her.

What was Bai Wei like back then?

Like a rose being trampled in the spring sunshine.

He was just a wild beast driven solely by his instincts.

Meng Qingyang narrowed his eyes, turned his face away, and tried to swallow that memory.

Seeing Meng Qingyang remain silent.

Bai Wei realized what was happening.

She quickly released the other person's arm, trying to remain calm, but the slight blush on her cheeks betrayed her outward composure.

Since that day.

She rarely spends time alone with others.

But it was because it was the old lady of the Bai family's birthday.

Qu Jian'er's first movie adapted from a game will premiere today.

They were afraid that no movie theaters would include it.

They were also afraid that public opinion would affect Qu Jian'er's studies.

Bai Wei was preparing to return to the main star, but she couldn't manage the situation on her own. Han Zhaoyuan and Qi Jin were both unavailable, so she wanted to bring Xiao Zhang along, but he turned out to be a fence-sitter.

Meng Qingyang simply gave half of his salary to the other party, and Comrade Xiao Zhang excitedly agreed to stay on Jupiter to take care of the three crying babies.

He said he was the best at taking care of children.

Is that the problem?

Bai Wei rubbed her temples.

He distanced himself from Meng Qingyang.

Although Meng Qingyang met all her criteria for a partner, she had no intention of dating a minor.

Meng Qingyang noticed Bai Wei's attitude towards him, and his eyes dimmed slightly, but he did not give up because of it.

He's not in a hurry.

Each with their own thoughts, the two arrived outside Zuo Chen's villa close to noon.

Bai Wei nervously approached Zuo Chen's territory, only to see the villa entrance, which should have been quite formal.

An unsightly parasol was stuck in the air.

No need to think about it.

It must be Qu Jian'er's doing.

Qu Jian'er went out to meet someone: "Take a look, isn't my umbrella great? It's perfect for wind and rain, and it provides shade and sun protection. I can send you the purchase address."

She was boasting.

This corroborates Bai Wei's conjecture.

Bai Wei sincerely replied, "Thank you, but no need."

Qu Jian'er shrugged and looked at Meng Qingyang.

Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks.

There's no other reason than that these two people share a thin red marriage line, which, though weak, is surprisingly powerful.

It seems like it could become indestructible at any moment.

Qu Jian'er was puzzled.

Little did she know that there was a great difference between orcs and humans. Before reaching adulthood, orcs were completely different people; in layman's terms, they were practically different individuals.

And Bai Wei's destined marriage in this life.

The picture hanging is of Meng Qingyang as an adult.

This is also the main reason why Qu Jian'er couldn't see the predestined relationship between Bai Wei and Meng Qingyang before.

Qu Jian'er suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Yangyang, be honest, what does your beast form look like? Can I see it?"

She thought of Meng Langya.
