Separated by only a board, the system that was recording the daily life of raising cubs suddenly sensed an abnormal and dangerous factor permeating the air.

It seems to be targeting them, but it doesn't seem to be...

The system immediately became alert. It "saw" that Pei Yushen's state in the room was very strange, but it couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

It realized that it hadn't carefully read through Pei Yushen's storyline yet.

Feeling guilty for lying down for too long, the system quickly pulled out the original book, only to find that Pei Yushen was described in just a few strokes.

In summary, he was disabled in a car accident when he was young and never recovered. At the age of fifteen, he went abroad to undergo euthanasia.

A chosen one of heaven, he ultimately perished in the darkness.

It is worth noting that Pei Yushen suddenly took a leave of absence six months after returning to school and has not returned to school since.

The highly skilled couple, Mr. and Mrs. Pei, who lost their son in middle age, happened to meet the female protagonist, who was working hard to support herself through her studies. They were moved by her character and took her in as their goddaughter.

"..." The system stared at those few strokes of the pen, speechless for a long time.

In other words, this boy will die in a year?

The system reacted instinctively, thinking, "If Chaochao knew this, wouldn't she be heartbroken?"

No, that's the original plot; whether they're alive or dead now is uncertain.

The system glanced at the clueless yet self-satisfied little one and sighed silently.

...I don't know how much time passed.

Pei Yu stared intently at the half-closed cabinet door, the faint creaking sound still occasionally escaping his lips, his brow furrowed.

Why isn't it out yet?

Do you really think you haven't given anything away?

The boy's eyes grew colder and colder; he had no patience to play games with her anymore.

Pei Yushen coldly opened the cabinet door.

"come out!"

A pair of bewildered, almond-shaped eyes met a pair of dark pupils looking down.

The little dumpling was hiding in the cupboard, holding a taro roll in its two little hands. When the cupboard was suddenly opened, the little dumpling raised its head in alarm, its mouth still covered with suspicious taro paste.

Pei Yushen's fingers, which were resting on the cabinet door, immediately froze.

The boy, who was oblivious to the situation, stared intently at her. She glanced down at the half-eaten taro roll in her hand and hesitantly handed it over.

"Brother Yu Shen, do you... want some too?"

Could it be that they were stunned by the aroma of the taro rolls?

Absolutely! My mother-in-law's fried rolls are so delicious that even I struggled to get to the fourth one.

Outside the guest room at this time.

"Miss Chaochao? Where are you?"

"Aunt Song said you can eat, so come out quickly..."

Zhizhi and Amin were calling out for the little dumpling who had disappeared somewhere.

In the afternoon, Aunt Song had just fried some sweet taro rolls to cheer up the little girl who had just finished crying. Unexpectedly, two weren't enough, so Aunt Song had to give her another one because fried food can affect a child's health if she eats too much.

Although Aunt Song emphasized that this was the last one.

After eating three, Chaochao, still not satisfied, sneaked back to the kitchen and took out a fourth one from the woven plate lined with blotting paper.

I was originally going to eat it in the closet in my room.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Kui caught him red-handed.

Taking advantage of her small size, she slipped through the crack and, when no one was paying attention, sneaked into Pei Yushen's room.

The servants outside the room searched every corner of the hall, but when they reached the door of this guest room, they instinctively rejected it.

Pei Yushen's room is practically devoid of any human presence in the entire villa, which is highly unlikely.

The maid walked around the room and left.

In the room, Chaochao handed over the half of the taro roll at a speed of 0.05 m/s, gazing at the roll she had gone through so much trouble to get, her watery eyes filled with reluctance.

Suddenly, he remembered what Aunt Song had said.

"Oh, I remember now, I asked Grandma, Brother Yushen, you can't eat greasy food while you're recovering!"

Ding~

The little dumpling in front retreated half of the taro roll at a speed of 10m/s.

Pei Yushen watched her series of fluid movements expressionlessly, only his slender fingers slightly curled behind the solid wood board that Chaochao couldn't see.

The little dumpling, who naturally regained her taro roll, suddenly looked up at Pei Yushen, thought for a second, and then turned her back and quickly finished the taro roll in three bites.

As long as she eats fast enough, the young man won't be tempted by the aroma!

The sadness of being able to look but not eat is something every day understands.

After happily finishing her taro roll, Chaochao slowly crawled out of the cabinet, threw the oil-absorbing napkin she was wrapped in into the trash can, washed her little hands, and finally stood obediently in front of the boy.

Chaochao looked up at him and asked in a clear voice, "I'm out, brother, what do you want?"

"..."

This is his room, right? What are you doing here?

At that moment, Pei Yushen had returned to his usual cold and taciturn demeanor. He moved his lips and finally said, "What are you doing here?"

Chaochao replied quickly: "I came to ask you to go out and play."

Pei Yushen: "I'm not going."

"Then let's play in the room." Chaochao immediately offered a Plan B, "Do you want to play hide-and-seek, freeze, or draw, or dress up the dolls, or play house with me being the dad and you being the child?"

Pei Yushen took a deep breath without changing his expression: "I don't want to."

“Okay…” Chaochao sighed, and the next second she naturally pulled something out of her cloth pocket, her eyes sparkling.

"Then let's eat an apricot."

She's not some kid who sneaks in; she brought a gift.

The boy stared silently at the bright yellow apricot, deciding that this was better than the previous two proposals...
