Kuderian was already waiting on the 34th floor. When he saw them coming, he immediately took over Shi Nian and said quickly before Shi Yiyu could speak, "I'm a doctor. I can handle it. Just wait outside."

After saying that, he calmly carried Shi Nian to the operating table in the inner room and closed the door.

Shi Yiyu looked at the tightly closed door, his heart still beating rapidly. Yu Luhan put his arm around his shoulders, fingers curled up. He patted Shi Yiyu's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. The doctor won't let Nian Nian get hurt."

I don’t know whether he was saying this to comfort Shi Yiyu or to himself.

The two sat in the doctor's office, their eyes fixed on the closed door. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and the sky was illuminated by the light of stars.

Kuderian pushed open the door and walked out, taking off his gloves. There was a hint of fatigue between his brows. "It's okay, the situation is stable. The little guy was too tired and fell asleep again. I covered him with a blanket."

Shi Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows. "Is his health deteriorating?"

"right."

Kuderian tapped his fingers on the table, and a virtual projection of Shi Nian appeared in mid-air, accompanied by various physical data.

He pointed at the string of numbers on Shi Nian's head and said, "Little Niannian's mental strength is still growing. It has far surpassed that of people of the same age. It's even stronger than you, Big Boss, when you were your age."

"According to his genes, it's normal for him to reach this stage at this age."

The doctor looked up at Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan, then changed the subject, "But his body couldn't sustain such a strong mental force. This caused varying degrees of damage to his organs, which is why his body collapsed so quickly."

Yu Luhan frowned, his brows furrowed in a serious expression. "Is there any way to curb the growth of his mental power?"

Kuderian spread his hands, "There's nothing we can do. The growth of mental strength is like a child's physical growth. Unless someone is born a dwarf, there's no way to stop it artificially."

Yu Luhan thought of another idea. "Since the internal organs are damaged, can't we transplant new ones?"

"Of course," Kuderian replied in the affirmative, but he quickly explained, "But according to this method, almost all organs would have to be replaced, even the brain... But then, would it still be the same little Nian Nian?"

Shi Yiyu quickly rejected it: "This method won't work."

The doctor looked at him and said, "The only solution we had at the beginning is this."

Shi Yiyu's eyes were gloomy and he remained silent for a long time.

Yu Luhan was confused, "What method?"

Shi Yiyu raised his eyes to look at him, his voice heavy, "...Abolish Nian Nian's spiritual power."

Kuderian snapped his fingers and continued, facing Yu Luhan's puzzled gaze, "The number of people in the empire without spiritual power accounts for 0.03% of the total population. Although it is not a large number, it does mean that people can survive without spiritual power. However, in contrast, their lifespan will be greatly shortened."

"If there is really no other way, we can only destroy this child's mental strength and save his life."

"Of course, this is a last resort and a last resort."

Shi Yiyu was not surprised to hear this. He knew Shi Nian's physical condition well and he had thought of this method before.

But he also knew that this desperate approach would only allow Shi Nian to survive for a few more decades.

But in this interstellar age where the average age is six or seven hundred years, decades pass in the blink of an eye.

After a long silence, Shi Yiyu held Yu Luhan's hand, as if this could give him great strength.

"Let's prescribe some medicine first." Shi Yiyu made a decision. "Use the medicine to maintain his health for a while. Let Shi Nian grow up and make his own choices... None of us have the right to decide his future."

All of Shi Nian's medicines were specially made. Kuderian didn't comment on Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan's approach. "Okay, the new medicine will take a week to make. It's best to let him stay with me first to avoid any special circumstances."

Shi Yiyu nodded, left Yu Luhan outside to talk to the doctor about precautions, and went to the inner room to look after Shi Nian.

Kuderian looked at Shi Yiyu's back, sighed, and looked at Yu Luhan, "Actually, you should make a choice. The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be."

"Based on Xiao Niannian's current situation, in ten or twenty years, his mental strength will surpass yours..."

At this point, Kuderian paused and sighed, "Don't mention it, this kid is really a good candidate for joining the military."

Yu Luhan: "..."

The doctor coughed awkwardly and continued, "Well, when little Niannian grows up to a certain age, even you won't be able to control him. That would be a huge danger to both him and the empire."

Yu Luhan shook his head, still sticking to his original decision, "Just like Ayu said, we are just his parents and have no right to decide his life."

"Until then, we can only do our best to give him the opportunity to choose."

…

Shi Nian was lying on the small bed. An illness seemed to have drained all his energy. His soft black hair hung on the side of his face, making his face look even paler and bloodless. The back of the child's white and tender hand turned purple due to the injection, which looked a bit shocking.

Shi Yiyu gently picked up Shi Nian's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, his eyes unable to contain the moisture.

They were obviously so careful, but Shi Nian was like a breeze that could not be caught, and would leave them if they were not careful.

Shi Yiyu sat beside the bed, quietly watching the sleeping Shi Nian.

Time passed quietly in silence. Shi Nian's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes. He saw Shi Yiyu and subconsciously relaxed his brows. He smiled and called out, "Dad~"

Shi Yiyu came back to her senses and looked at him with bitterness in her eyes. "Little Rose, are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Nian's body no longer felt the severe pain he felt at night. What remained was soreness and weakness. However, when he met Shi Yiyu's worried eyes, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, Dad. I want a hug."

Shi Yiyu picked him up. He was still wearing soft pajamas and it was very comfortable to hold him. Shi Nian happily rubbed against him and called out repeatedly: "Dad~Dad~"

Shi Yiyu hugged him, with a bitter taste in his lips, "Dad is here, what's wrong?"

As soon as Shi Nian woke up, she knew this was the doctor's studio. She hugged Shi Yiyu's neck and pointed outside the door, "Dad, I want to go home. I don't want to be here with Doctor Susu."

Shi Nian has a deep shadow on Kuderian.

Shi Yiyu naturally knew about it, but he couldn't take Shi Nian back. He looked at him with sadness in his eyes, "Niannian, I'm sorry..."

Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, and touched his father's red eyes with his little hand. He sniffed and subconsciously comforted Shi Yiyu: "Dad, don't cry... I, I won't go home."

Shi Yiyu hugged him tightly, his voice a little hoarse, "No, it's not that Dad doesn't want to take Nian Nian home, but Nian Nian is not in good health now and needs to stay with the doctor uncle for a while. When you are better, I will take you back, okay?"

Is he seriously ill again?

Shi Nian thought about it in her heart, but seeing Shi Yiyu's sad look, she swallowed the words silently, leaned in his arms, and nodded, "Okay, then Dad must remember to pick me up."

Shi Yiyu stroked his soft hair and said, "Dad is upstairs. Come find me if you miss me."

Shi Nian opened her eyes wide with joy.

That’s right! Doctor Susu lives downstairs from his dad’s workplace, which means he can visit his dad anytime!

Shi Nian was instantly eagerly looking forward to it, but still a little worried. She rubbed Shi Yiyu's chin like a kitten, "Will I disturb your work?"

Shi Yiyu kissed his forehead and said, "No, I will be very happy if you accompany me."

Shi Nian's eyebrows were curved, and even though his face was still pale, it could not conceal the brilliance in his eyes.

This time the illness was severe, so Shi Nian ended up staying at the doctor's place.

In order to facilitate researchers to conduct experiments, Apsu provides accommodation with a superior environment and one bedroom and one living room. The most convenient thing is that the room is right next to the researcher's studio.

After confirming that Shi Nian would be staying at the doctor's place for the next period of time, the doctor added a small bed to his room, carried Shi Nian over, and placed her on the prepared bed.

Shi Nian felt the soft quilt, took the pillow in her arms and hugged it tightly, and thanked her politely, "Thank you Susu~"

Although he was very afraid of the doctor uncle, he had known the doctor since he was a child and had been to the doctor's private room several times.

The bright bedroom was kept tidy by Kuderian, and the sweeping robot worked meticulously, cleaning the floor spotlessly.

Everything is fine, except for the skeleton next to the window.

The white skeleton was facing the position in the room. The little Omega hugged the pillow timidly and shrank into the quilt.

Shi Yiyu leaned against the wall, also looking at the skeleton with a frown, "Can't you put this skeleton somewhere else? Isn't it scary to put it in the bedroom?"

Yu Luhan went home specially to get Shi Nian's spare clothes and gave them to the doctor. In addition, he also brought the teddy bear from Shi Nian's room.

Yu Luhan also glanced at the skeleton as he walked towards Shi Nian. "The child might be frightened when he gets up to go to the bathroom at night."

"How could that be?" Kuderian held up the skull's hand like a gentleman, staring at it in fascination. "My wife is so beautiful. Look at this perfect skull and beautiful collarbone. It's simply perfect, isn't it, little Niannian? Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Shi Nian looked at the pale skeleton, and when Yu Luhan reached him, he quickly threw himself into his father's arms and said softly, "...I'm afraid."

Yu Luhan sat beside him, releasing soothing pheromones. The tequila pheromones soothed Shi Nian's nerves, and the little guy snuggled into his father's arms affectionately.

Kuderian sighed, picked up the skeleton horizontally, and said to it affectionately, "Okay, honey, I'll have to let you stay in the living room for a few days."

The terrifying skeleton left, and Shi Nian put down his pillow and hugged his teddy bear again. The Manta Rose pheromones conveyed his joy, "Thank you, father."

Yu Luhan kissed his forehead and told him: "Little Rose, you must listen to the doctor's advice and tell him immediately if you feel unwell."

Shi Nian saw the scar on his face and was stunned for a moment, "...Okay."

He could sense his father's mental power from the scar, so was it him who hurt his father?

Shi Nian tightened her grip on the teddy bear and stared at Yu Luhan's face, as well as the particularly glaring scar, with tears gradually filling her eyes.

Yu Luhan felt strange about Shi Nian's reaction. He touched his face belatedly and found the small wound. He smiled and said, "It's okay, little rose. It doesn't hurt."

Shi Nian was overwhelmed by deep guilt and cried as she hugged Yu Luhan's neck tightly, "Father, I'm sorry... I don't want to, I, I can't control myself..."

The little Omega's voice was full of helplessness and confusion. He remembered his loss of control last night and knew clearly that he had hurt his loved ones.

Yu Luhan was heartbroken by the weak and small voice of the child. He covered Shi Nian's little head with his big hands and said, "It's okay, little rose. You are just sick. You will be fine when you recover."

Shi Yiyu also squatted down in front of his bed, straightened the quilt for him, and accompanied the sad little rose with warm words. She wiped the tears from Shi Nian's face with a handkerchief and said, "It's okay. Dad and father are here and will always be with you."

The company of his parents and sufficient pheromone comfort helped Shi Nian calm down. He went to ask Dr. Susu for a Band-Aid.

Before applying the patch on Yu Luhan, she puffed up her little face and blew on the wound, fearing that it would hurt Yu Luhan. "Huff, it won't hurt."

Seeing Shi Nian with a stern face, concentrating on putting a Band-Aid on himself, Yu Luhan smiled sincerely. No wonder they say that little Omega is a little cotton-padded jacket in winter, it is really soft and warm.

When Yu Luhan returned to the military headquarters with this conspicuous Band-Aid on his head, the other officers lost the ability to control their expressions and looked at him in astonishment.

How could someone in this empire hurt the Marshal?

Yu Luhan was a figure at the top of the pyramid within the empire. His powerful mental strength would tear anyone close to him to pieces. How could such a powerful marshal be injured in the face?!

Also, why does the Marshal always touch the Band-Aid on his face?

Still laughing?!

And it wasn't her usual sarcastic smile, but a very gentle one.

The officers said they were really confused, their heads were itching, and they felt like they were doomed and needed to grow a brain.
