A few days later, a delicate little doll was sitting on the bay window in Kuderian's room.

After a few days of recuperation, Shi Nian's health had improved. Although he still looked a little weak and sick, at least he wouldn't be out of breath as tired as before when he took a rabbit walk between the floors.

Now the rabbit is being chased around by a sweeping robot, and it is shedding hair like crazy. The robot wants to solve the hair shedding problem from the root.

As summer entered, Shi Nian also changed into short-sleeved shirts, revealing her tender white arms like lotus roots, which were plump and looked very easy to pinch.

The little Omega rested his head against the glass. The bright glass reflected his delicate and beautiful features, and his dark and watery eyes reflected a miniature of the bustling city.

Looking down at the ground from a hundred meters in the air, Shi Nian's gaze fell on the park where he and Annan Susu had played together last time. There were still many people there, children chasing and playing with each other, and adults chatting with each other...

"Want to go out and play?"

Kuderian's voice came from behind.

Shi Nian called out "Susu" and shook her head, "I'm not going out."

He could watch from here, but if he were really placed in a crowded crowd, Shi Nian would only feel anxious and uneasy, as he hated crowded places.

Kuderian pressed the few strands of hair on the back of his head and said, "Your father has brought your friends to play with you. Go out and take a look."

Shi Nian was surprised. Does he have any friends?

When he reached the corridor outside the door, he saw Ezel.

Azel stood upright with an indifferent look in his eyes. His golden hair was extremely dazzling under the brilliance of the sea of stars above his head. When he saw Shi Nian, his eyes brightened noticeably, and the indifference in his eyes was slowly replaced by a smile.

Ezel called softly, "Little Rose."

The pheromone Ezel pronounced when he found out was Manta Rose, and after hearing his family call him that, he also followed suit by calling him by that nickname.

"Brother Aizel..." Shi Nian was surprised and took a few steps forward, "Why are you here?"

Ezel walked up to him and hugged him, "Your father brought me here."

After hearing that Shi Nian was in trouble, Annan sent messages to Shi Yiyu several times, asking him about Shi Nian's recent situation. After learning that his health had improved, he thought of bringing Azel to find Shi Nian.

But Annan is a member of the royal family after all. If he comes to Apsu rashly, he might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives. So he had to let Shi Yiyu take Azel with him on the way.

Kuderian leaned against the wall and raised an eyebrow when he saw Ezel's obvious purple eyes.

Someone from the royal family?

His gaze turned to Shi Nian, he curled his lips into a smile, and walked sideways into the room.

Aizel pinched Shi Nian's soft little hand, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I went to your house to look for you, but no one was home. Dad said you were sick."

Shi Nian then remembered that he had an appointment with Azel and apologized, "I'm sorry... I forgot..."

Azel shook his head, took out a box of candy and placed it in Shi Nian's hand. "I'm not angry. I'm just feeling very uncomfortable being sick. This box of candy is for you. I asked Dad, and he said you can eat these candies."

"Wow—candy!" Shi Nian took the box of candy, hugged Azel happily, and shouted crisply, "Thank you, brother."

He had been getting injections these days and his mouth was full of bitterness, so Ezel's box of candy came at the right time.

Aizer came this time to tell Shi Nian that he was going to school. Now it was September, and he was going to West to attend junior high school, so he couldn't come to accompany Shi Nian during this period.

When Shi Nian heard about West College, she smiled and said, "My brother is also in West. He's in the undergraduate department. You can go hang out with him~"

In the graduation military exercise, Yu Chen entered the university department as the chief, but finally chose to be a military reserve student.

Azel didn't think Yu Chen would want to play with him, but he nodded and agreed in front of Shi Nian.

"You have to eat well, don't be picky about food, and eat more vegetables..." Azel held Shi Nian's hand like a little adult and gave him worried instructions. Looking at his sickly face, he pursed his lips and said, "When you recover, I'll bring you some red wine."

He thought Shi Nian just had a minor illness like a cold and fever.

Shi Nian's lips were still very light in color. His skin had inherited Shi Yiyu's cold white color, but now his face was extremely pale, making this little boy look even weaker.

But when she heard the word "wine", Shi Nian's eyes still lit up obviously, and she smacked her lips, "Is it the kind that Annan Susu drinks?"

"Yeah, that's what he drank." Ezel squeezed Shi Nian's hand like a stress reliever. A strand of golden hair fell on the side of his face. He gently hugged his ill friend, "I'll come to see you when I have a day off."

Shi Nian hugged him back and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The two little guys talked together for a long time, and Shi Nian took out his rabbit to show Azel.

Ezer liked cute creatures very much and tried to touch the little rabbit's ears. The little rabbit did not resist and let him touch it obediently.

"It's so well behaved."

Seeing Azel hesitant, Shi Nian couldn't help but speak well of his rabbit, "He doesn't bite, you can pet him."

Ezel's hands sank into the rabbit's fur, which was soft and fluffy. A smile spread across his eyes. "Well, it's very well behaved."

Shi Nian and Aizel looked at each other with smiles, enjoying the quiet and leisurely moment.

In the afternoon, Shi Nian watched Azel leave Apsu. When he was about to turn back, his body flew into the air. He screamed "Ah" in shock and turned his head to see that the person holding him was Kolais, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Kelais rubbed Shi Nian's little face excitedly, "Woo woo woo woo, Kelais is finally free, Kelais can finally come and play with the little master again!"

Shi Nian hadn't seen him for a long time, and she hugged his neck in surprise, "Kelais! You've been missing for a long time, and Nian Nian couldn't find you."

Kolais pouted in dissatisfaction. "Old Yu asked Kolais to supervise the new officers to capture the undercover agents who infiltrated Plant Star. Now the first batch has been eliminated, and the second batch is being screened. Kolais will have time to come back and accompany the young master."

Kelais told Shi Nian the military's secrets clearly.

Shi Nian didn't care about these things. He only knew that his little friend was back. He hugged him happily and rubbed against him. He also generously gave his rabbit to Kelais to hold.

But Laisi was not thinking about the rabbit, so he suggested with great interest: "Little master, let's play hide-and-seek together."

Shi Nian immediately turned her head away, "...No."

Kelais immediately made a sad face and said, "Why? Come on, come on, it's fun."

Shi Nian refused, and put her little face on Kelaisi's shoulder, saying weakly: "I'm so tired, Kelaisi, I can't run anymore."

Hide and seek is a physically demanding activity, and he would be exhausted after walking his rabbit on weekdays, so he was unwilling to play this game with Coles.

The most important thing is that the last time she played hide-and-seek, she recalled terrible memories, and Shi Nian still felt timid.

He rested his chin on Coles' shoulder, looked up at him, and thought to himself that he didn't know why Coles was so devoted to this game.

Kelaisi's interest faded just as quickly, and he soon stopped playing hide-and-seek. "Okay, since Nian Nian doesn't like it, Kelaisi won't play it either."

So the two of them started walking the rabbit. The rabbit hopped around and started sniffing wherever it came to. Shi Nian also took this opportunity to lean against the wall and rest.

Kelais, with nothing else to do, started gossiping with Shi Nianjiang. "The parliament proposed raising the threshold for mechanization to be considered human from 89.5% to 92.7%, but it was completely rejected."

"The illegitimate child of a prince in the royal family was discovered. He, his mistress, and his son were all driven out of the house by his wife. They were left wandering the streets in the middle of the night. To protect the dignity of the royal family, the emperor took them back overnight."

"The Chamber of Commerce is undergoing a large-scale turnover. Many established families have been driven bankrupt by your uncle."

“…”

Kelais told Shi Nian all the inside information and top secrets. Shi Nian just nodded continuously and asked him from time to time, "What is an illegitimate child?"

Kelais stroked his chin and said, "Well, let's say your father no longer loves your father and finds another Omega outside, and then they have another child. That child is an illegitimate child."

Shi Nian's breath was choked, his eyes widened, and he whispered, "My father... has an illegitimate child?"
