Ning Qing woke up in Su Xia's arms, her head resting on his arm, her hands against his chest, and her waist being held by a large hand.

Could it be that I opened my eyes wrong? Ning Qing quickly closed her eyes and then opened them again.

"Ah, host, please release your clutches! The mission target's innocence is in danger! Ah..."

The system screamed in terror upon seeing this.

"Shut up, your mission objective is still innocent."

Ning Qing's head was throbbing from all the noise.

"Then what about your clothes? You're sleeping in the same bed."

"I accidentally fell asleep while soaking in the hot spring, and my son carried me back to sleep. What's the big deal? Can two men together cause me to lose my innocence???"

"Of course you can, host. Don't you know there's such a thing as male-male love?"

"Of course I know. The movie that Zai Zai took me to see last time was about male-male love."

But what does this gay love have to do with me? This is just artificial stupidity.

"Host, you should stay away from mission targets from now on," the system couldn't help but remind you.

"How can I protect him if I stay away from him?"

"I can teleport."

"Is there a rule in your mission that you can't date?"

If there were such a rule, the little one would be so pitiful.

"Hmm... there isn't such a rule."

"That settles it then. Do you expect your mission target to never date or get married and to be a bachelor for life?"

"Isn't being single the natural thing to do?"

The system whispered, "After all, the target has been single for thousands of years. He won't lose his virginity as soon as he arrives in this small world, will he?!" The system trembled with fear.

"You may kneel down and leave."

Ning Qing didn't want to talk anymore.

"Mr. Ning, you're awake. Are you hungry?"

Su Xia opened his eyes. This time, he didn't want to pretend to be asleep. Last time, Mr. Ning didn't mind having him by his side.

"Hungry".

Ning Qing touched her belly and answered honestly.

"I'll go cook for Mr. Ning."

She then got up first and went to wash up.

"good".

I can't resist the food my little one makes, it's so delicious.

A sensible child is like a warm and comforting coat.

System... I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. The plot is developing in a strange direction, and the system is panicking.

After dinner, Su Xia took Ning Qing's hand and went for a walk on the beach.

"System, look, the little one is taking his old father out for a walk."

"..." It doesn't look like a father and son taking a walk at all. What father and son hold hands with their fingers interlocked?

The two walked ahead, leaving two rows of footprints. Su Xia looked back and didn't want these marks to disappear, as they were left by him and Mr. Ning.

That evening, the quiet night was broken by a phone call. It was for Su Xia; there was an emergency at the company, and Su Xia needed to return immediately to handle it.

"It's okay, you go back to work, I'll stay here and play for a few more days."

Ning Qing stroked the baby's hair.

Su Xia gazed intently at Ning Qing, then pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on Ning Qing's shoulder.

"Mr. Ning, please hug me. I'm scared. Something's happened at the company."

There was a slight tremor in his voice.

It feels so good to hold Mr. Ning. But it's not enough. I want to kiss Mr. Ning again. I still remember the last time we kissed each other lightly, a kiss filled with utmost sincerity.

"Mr. Ning, can you kiss me? I need courage. If not, it's okay. I will be strong."

He lowered his head, and his voice was choked with sobs as he spoke.

"If your company needs working capital, you can contact me."

Ning Qing gave him a domineering look that said, "Your dad is rich. If you don't have money, ask your dad."

Su Xia almost couldn't keep up the act after his chuunibyou-ish look. She'd been acting for so long, just to trick him into a kiss? Was it easy for her? When would he finally get it?!

Ning Qing lived up to expectations and gently kissed the baby's forehead.

Seeing the resentful expression on the baby's face, she kissed him on both cheeks.

Su Xia left the island with a satisfied smile.
