"Where is the defensive position?"

When Shi Wuyai heard his teammates ask him, he realized that he was also looking for Qianyuan's whereabouts.

Fortunately, Qianyuan didn't go too far; she worked at a maid café near her home.

Why did Qianyuan go there? Of course, it was because it was the highest-paying job she had ever seen.

He hesitated at the door for a while because of his gender, but the shop owner saw him and rushed out to grab him.

"It's okay for a man to dress as a woman, baby, no one will be able to tell! Besides, you're so beautiful, who could bear not to forgive you?"

Qianyuan had never known about these things before. She was only brought into the store by the boss when she realized that everyone was wearing maid outfits.

Qian Yuan's face turned red instantly. He clutched the strap of his backpack, which contained his resume and some dry food, but he didn't even have the courage to take out his resume.

Because... this is just too...

Qianyuan was eager to back out again, but how could the boss let go of the cash cow that God had delivered to his door? He quickly doubled her salary again.

Qianyuan thought of the mermaid at home who could eat a lot, gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay."

So everyone in the neighborhood knew that a stunningly beautiful new employee had joined the coffee shop.

With white hair and blue eyes, her snow-white eyelashes covered her eyes, like a cold and beautiful snowfall.

His features are so delicate and dreamlike, like a porcelain doll. Even the legendary mermaid might not be as powerful as him.

And what is humanity's greatest quirk?

It has white fur.

The boss held up Qian Yuan's white hair, each strand of which shone with luster, and felt as if he were holding moonlight in his hands.

She covered her heart, which was pounding wildly, and braided Qianyuan's hair, then placed it on one of Qianyuan's shoulders.

She was so beautiful that she always gave the illusion that the people in front of her were mannequins.

But when the boss saw that Qianyuan was still blinking and breathing, he felt his heart melt.

She was like a stunningly beautiful, almost divine lion cat you'd encountered on the street; you couldn't help but lower your voice and speak sweetly, in a gentle, soothing tone, as if coaxing a kitten:

“Baby, don’t be afraid. Just stand at the door to greet the guests. You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I’ll bully them back for you.”

Qianyuan could only be thankful that the maid dress the boss had given him wasn't revealing; it was a standard, uniform dress, knee-length, with an elaborate lace headband and cat ears. Qianyuan felt ashamed even looking at himself in the mirror, and could only stand outside with a stiff upper lip.

Their apartment was very close to the university where Osiris worked, and the flow of people coming and going in the vicinity were all college students. As soon as the owner put Qianyuan at the door, a long line of male college students who wanted to go in and spend money formed.

They have been trying to find a way to get Qianyuan's contact information.

Qian Yuan didn't dare let any of them add him. His intuition told him that Osiris would be angry if he knew that others had asked for his contact information.

The consequences are severe.

Qianyuan shuddered; he still naively believed that Osiris hadn't noticed his movements.

But in reality, someone found him just five minutes after Shi Wuyai searched him.

The researchers all hid in the shadows because their presence would cause panic among the public, and they were too conspicuous, which might scare Chiyuki away.

They reported Qianyuan's current appearance to Osiris, and as expected, Osiris rushed over without even having time to say a word.

With a dark expression, wearing a well-tailored black suit, and sporting a trendy hairstyle, he looked thousands of years younger, almost indistinguishable from a young merfolk just entering adulthood, and even surpassing humans in appearance.

In addition to his good looks, Osiris possessed a more authoritative and commanding presence than others. Even though he was older than humans, he was like a fine wine that had been aged, making people want to submit to him.

Qianyuan was handing out menus to the people in line, telling them to be patient, when she accidentally bumped into Osiris.

Qianyuan was startled and quickly tried to apologize, only to find that it was an acquaintance.

He stared wide-eyed at Osiris, motionless, before finally, suppressing his shame, whispering:

What are you doing here?

Osiris had originally planned to take Qianyuan home from get off work, but when he saw what the little guy looked like now, he pursed his lips and went back into hunting mode.

so cute.

Qianyuan saw him standing at the door without moving and thought he didn't want to be alone at home, so she comforted him: "I will be back tonight. Close the doors and windows of your room. If anyone knocks on the door, just say that the adults haven't come home yet. As long as they don't come in, no one will make things difficult for you."

"Is there not enough food at home for you? Wait a moment, I'll buy you something to eat after I get off work."

Osiris felt incredibly proud as Qian Yuan comforted him, treating him with the utmost care and protection as if he were a fragile mermaid. He felt an overwhelming sense of affection for Qian Yuan.

Their little fish fry, at such a young age, are already thinking about raising their father.

Osiris glanced at the humans around him who were eyeing his child, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.

His offspring are so charming, it's perfectly normal for humans to fall in love with him.

But he wouldn't allow his precious treasure to be taken away by a mere human.

So Osiris reached out and straightened Chiyome's disheveled skirt before plopping down on the waiting bench:

"I want to spend money too."

The college students, who were already somewhat resentful for not being able to get Qian Yuan's contact information, subconsciously assumed that a handsome older man had the same purpose as them when he arrived.

Although the older man was exceptionally handsome, they were still younger, and Qianyuan would certainly not let the age difference deter her from being led astray by this guy.

Moreover, although Qianyuan was always very gentle, she did not give any special treatment to anyone. She treated each guest with a distant politeness, so everyone thought that Osiris was just like them and could only leave empty-handed.

Who knew that ever since Osiris arrived, that little beauty would glance over here every now and then, and even went to the shop to bring Osiris water to drink when she had free time.

The boys' hearts were all shattered, broken into eighteen pieces.

But Qianyuan was completely unaware.

He simply walked up to Osiris and stuffed the small cake that the shopkeeper had just given him into Osiris's hand as well:

"Quickly, eat this secretly. This is what the boss gave me. There's only one. No other customers get one."

Although Osiris was not used to the strong sense of theft and did not like eating human food, the little guy's favoritism towards him made Osiris feel incredibly proud.

Osiris leaned back, deliberately displaying the small cake Qian Yuan had given him under Shi Wuyai's and the others' surveillance cameras.
