Even Nobby himself didn't realize that his attitude towards Ezel had changed drastically. The strong rejection in his heart was greatly reduced because of Ezel's superb cooking skills.

Shi Nian, who witnessed the entire process, saw it all clearly and was extremely surprised.

He found that Azel always used the most appropriate way to achieve his goal, and made it difficult for people in the middle to notice and fall into his trap unknowingly.

Well... it's just like how Kanat described Ezer - he can kill people with a smile.

But Shi Nian didn't feel scared. On the contrary, he liked Azel's character very much, because he had always been ignorant about interpersonal relationships and it was difficult for him to detect the other party's true intentions.

Ezer is like a plug-in for him.

After returning to the classroom, Shi Nian was surprised to see a box of toast and a cup of hot milk on his desk. He looked around and asked, "Who left something on my desk and didn't take it away?"

Nobby glanced at the food, sat down, and said casually, "If no one wants it, just throw it away."

As soon as these words came out, the curly-haired Alpha next to him got anxious and quickly stood up, scratching his head with a red face. "Well... I sent this. Um... classmate Shi Nian, have you eaten yet? If you have, it's okay. You can keep these and eat them when you're hungry."

Shi Nian wasn't used to unfamiliar people? She was too enthusiastic towards him, so she returned the toast and milk to the curly-haired Alpha. "No, I ate a lot this morning, so I'm not hungry."

If Shi Nian remembered correctly, this Alpha's name was Brett, but he didn't know his last name.

It seemed that he had been very enthusiastic since the first day Shi Nian came. Several times, Shi Nian turned her head and met his gaze, then lowered her head shyly.

It's just... weird.

Seeing his things being returned, Brett hurriedly put them back on Shi Nian's desk, not giving Shi Nian a chance to refuse. "This was originally a gift for you. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."

After saying that, he returned to his seat, took out his homework and started writing, pretending to be very busy.

Shi Nian: "..."

This is why he doesn't like dealing with unfamiliar people. He looked at the food on the table and had no idea what to do with it.

If I throw it away, will it be too hurtful? But if I don’t throw it away, he won’t like it. Shi Nian was in great distress, and her bright red lips were tightly pursed.

Forget it, I'll take it back to Ezel at noon.

Shi Nian found a place for them and put the things in the hole in the table, but the hole in the table was Koles's territory and he didn't like to be put together with food.

Kelais clung to Shi Nian's arm and called him coquettishly, "Nian Nian... doesn't want to stay with bread."

Shi Nian comforted him and touched his little head with her index finger. "I'll take it back at noon. Why don't you go to Nobi first?"

Coles glanced at Nobby, who was leaning against the wall playing a small game on the smart computer. Without even looking up, she stretched out her hand beside him. Coles immediately jumped onto her hand impatiently and went to her desk hole.

Nobby leaned on Shi Nian's shoulder, glanced at Brett sideways, and said in a less-than-friendly tone, "He seems to be abnormally attentive to you, and he's even more annoying than Ezel. I don't like him, and Brot shouldn't like him either."

The man-eating man is short-sighted, and Nobby’s dislike for Aize has decreased a lot.

Shi Nian could sense this, smiled helplessly, and whispered to her, "I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know why he wanted to bring me breakfast."

"He wants to pick you up." Nobby directly stated his opinion, his deep blue eyes staring at Brett who was concentrating on doing homework, "He gives me a very contradictory feeling..."

Shi Nian was stunned. "Contradiction?"

"Yes, I always feel that he is not as harmless as he looks." Nobby's eyes fell on the dark mark on Brett's wrist, and his eyes narrowed. "He gives me the feeling that he deliberately pretends to be harmless. In fact... he is a dormant venomous snake."

Shi Nian paused and couldn't help but look at Brett. He was undoubtedly a sunny and lively Alpha with curly brown hair, some freckles on his face, and a pair of eyes that were always smiling, giving people a feeling of being loved.

Just as Nobi said, he looked very harmless and innocent, and Shi Nian really didn't have any suspicion towards him, but after Nobi's reminder, he also secretly kept a watchful eye on him.

Throughout the morning, except when he was in class, Brett would often come to see Shi Nian for various reasons, the most common way being to ask math problems. He seemed to have discovered that Shi Nian's personality was not as cold as he appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, judging from the way Shi Nian carefully explained each step of answering the questions and the knowledge points involved, he was very patient and had a gentle and soft temperament.

I don’t even know how to refuse others.

Every time after Shi Nian finished explaining a question to him, he would remind himself that this was the last time and he must distance himself from the other party.

But when Brett approached him humbly, he pointed at the problem in the workbook pitifully and said, "Shi Nian, I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you help me again? I really can't figure it out."

Shi Nian: "..."

He didn't want to help, but this guy was too polite. If Brett's attitude was a little bit bad, he would use this as an excuse to refuse the other party.

Helplessly, Shi Nian told Brett his answer ideas again. Brett listened carefully, thanked him politely again, and then left.

Shi Nian sighed, and carried Kelais out in distress, rubbing him like a little doll to vent his inner emotions.

Kelais laughed and said, "Nian Nian, please don't tickle me. It's so itchy."

Nobby witnessed the whole thing and sighed in frustration, "It's okay. I'll help you next time he comes."

Shi Nian turned her head and looked over, crying, "Why are you helping me?"

Speak for him?

When Brett asked questions again, Nobby hugged Shi Nian, put a book on his desk, and turned Shi Nian's head to prevent him from looking at Brett.

"If Brot wants to teach me a question, go find someone else." Nobby told him firmly, "Don't steal Brot from others. If you want one, ask your father or mother to give birth to one for you."

Brett: "..."

Regardless of whether he could give birth to a brother, Brett at least knew that Nobby's attitude towards him was definitely not welcoming.

His warm amber eyes stared at Nobby with an unclear gaze. Nobby supported his face with one hand, curled his lips and smiled softly, then leaned back in his chair casually, his hands folded on his shoulders. "Why are you standing there? Let's go, do you still need us to send you off?"

Brett tightened his hands at his sides, but his expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a proper smile. "Okay, excuse me for disturbing you."

Shi Nian observed his expression, and caught the hatred in that moment. He instantly understood the other person's hidden face.

Nobby sneered, "To be able to swallow one's anger like this is truly remarkable. Which family could produce such a talented person?"

Shi Nian was also curious about the power behind him, "Do you know his last name?"

Nobby's face was unusually puzzled. "It seems to be Kent, but is there such a family in the Empire? Brett Kent, I've never heard of that name."

Shi Nian had no recollection of this name and surname, but he didn't know much about the great families of the empire, so it didn't mean anything if he didn't know them.

But since he didn't even recognize Nobby, it only meant that the family power behind Blot was not that strong.

At lunch, while eating the soft and sticky lotus root, Shi Nian asked Aizel beside her, "Do you know the Kent family?"

Aizel was very happy to receive the bread from Shi Nian. As he ate, his violet eyes were filled with joy. "I don't know them. Is there something wrong with this family?"

"Nothing." Shi Nian shook her head. "There's a classmate with this last name in our class. Oh, and by the way, the bread you ate was given to me by him."

Ezel paused: "...Is it an Alpha?"

Shi Nian: "Aang!"

Azel felt that the bread in his mouth suddenly had no taste. He put the remaining bread on the table, rubbed his brows to calm himself down, looked at Shi Nian's dark eyes, and seemed to want to say something but stopped.

"Nian Nian..." Ezel whispered in his ear as he approached, "Do you know I'll be jealous if you do this?"

Shi Nian let out a bewildered "Really? I'm sorry, but he just put the food on my desk and told me to throw it away if I didn't like it. I thought I shouldn't waste food, so I brought it back for you to eat."

Azel: “…”

It's amazing that he still remembers me.

Shi Nian seemed to sense that Azel was unhappy, and secretly held his hand under the table, "You don't like it? Then I won't accept it next time and will just throw it away."

Azel held his hand with his backhand. If he hadn't been concerned about Nobi sitting in front of them, he would definitely hug Shi Nian and talk to him about how wronged he was.

When Shi Nian fed him with the bread sent by other suitors, Azel was inconsolable and felt extremely complicated.

Shi Nian suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes, he also gave me some milk, and Nuobi drank it."

Nobby was happily eating ribs when he was suddenly poked. He raised his head and said, "Because I drink milk to grow taller, Brot, haven't you noticed that I haven't grown much in the past few years?"

Originally, Nobi and Shinian were about the same height, but now Shinian is over 1.7 meters tall, and Nobi is a little short of 1.6 meters tall, especially when they stand next to Azel, there is a perfect gradient.

Shi Nian didn't really believe that drinking milk could make one taller. "Just let nature take its course. My uncle and my uncle-in-law are both tall, so you'll definitely grow taller."

Nobby was comforted, but still worried. "What if I still don't grow?"

Shi Nian seriously speculated, "Could it be... a genetic mutation?"

Nobi: “…”

Ezer couldn't help laughing out loud. Before Nobby's resentful gaze came at him, he lowered his head as if nothing had happened, but the upward curve of his lips revealed his inner thoughts.

Nobby saw that he was laughing at him, his face fell, and he said coldly: "You are so annoying."

Azel: “…”

It’s over. The favorability I worked so hard to gain is gone.

Azel held his forehead in frustration. Did he win over Nobby so that he would have more people supporting him when he confronted Marshal Yu? Now it seemed that this support would be gone.

Shi Nian spoke up for Azel and handed a piece of pork ribs to Nobi. "Forgive him for making you this delicious lotus root and pork rib soup."

Nobby snorted, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time."

Azel felt relieved. He held Shi Nian's hand closer and whispered in his ear, "Thank you."

"Nobi is easy to get along with." Shi Nian shared her experience with Azel, "You can't confront Nobi. You have to coax her. In fact, Nobi is a very good person."

Ezel smiled bitterly, "I understand."

I just don’t know if this method is exclusive to Shi Nian. Others should stay away.

In the afternoon, Shi Nian did not go to the high school department for classes. After saying hello to his homeroom teacher, he followed Aizer to the university department to attend classes. It happened to be Friday, so he could go home directly with Shi Yiyu after the classes.

When the homeroom teacher heard that Shinian was going to attend classes at the university, he readily agreed, "You're so studious, Shinian! Go ahead and study hard."

Shi Nian was very polite, "Okay, thank you, head teacher."

He asked Nobby, "Will you come with me?"

"Well, but I don't want to attend the military department's classes." Nobi went upstairs to get her camera. "I'm going to attend the photography department's classes. Gan Yuluo is the professor there."

Gan Yuluo...

Shi Nian remembered that he was Gan Ning's relative and also a good friend of her uncle, so there was no need to worry about Nobi's safety. After the three of them went to the university together, Shi Nian and Aizer went to the military department, and Nobi went to the photography department.

Shi Nian bought a cup of oolong tea on the way and went to Shi Yiyu's office to find him.

A virtual screen was floating in front of Shi Yiyu, which seemed to be a surveillance video. He was looking at the screen intently, and the pen was turning back and forth between his slender fingers. He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even notice Shi Nian entered the office.

"Dad." Shi Nian stood beside him, called him, and placed the tea on his table. "I bought you oolong tea."

Shi Yiyu finally came back to his senses, turned off the virtual screen, looked at Shi Nian, then looked at Azel standing outside the door, picked up his bag, and said, "Is it time to go home? Let's go."

Shi Nian was stunned and hurriedly stopped him, "No, it's only one in the afternoon, it's not time to go home from school yet, Dad...what's wrong with you?"

What's wrong with him? Does he feel like his dad is a little alert? In a trance?

Shi Yiyu's body stiffened, and he slowly sat back down, "Hmm... I got the time wrong."

Shi Nian looked at him suspiciously and thought to himself, "But we just finished lunch, right? How come it was recorded as afternoon?"

"Are you here to see Azel?" Shi Yiyu brought the topic to him. "Your father will also be coming to school these days. Be careful not to be seen by him."

Shi Nian nodded, but she felt that hiding things like this wasn't a good idea. "I'll slowly tell him that my father is easy to talk to. He'll see that Aizel is a good person."

Shi Yiyu lightly broke Shi Nian's fantasy, "No, he will choose to ignore it?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked down on Azel for so many years.

Shi Nian: "Alas..."

How can I get my father to accept Ezel? I feel like all my hair is about to fall out.

This class was about military tactics. The professor was talking about various classic cases on the podium. The students listened to his lectures with the most serious attitude, their backs straight as pine trees.

Shi Nian was too embarrassed to lie on the table among the others, so he imitated Azel beside him and kept his back straight. However, this posture was too tiring. After a while, he felt sore in his back and started to move his body.

Ezel saw that he was tired and whispered to him, "You can lean on me. The professor won't notice."

Shi Nian stole a glance at the professor, moved his butt, moved closer to Azel, and leaned half of his body against Azel. After releasing his strength, he breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to hug the other person and rub against him.

There were hundreds of people sitting in the classroom. The professor didn't notice Shi Nian's lazy look, but Shi Yiyu, who came out to see him, saw it instead.

Shi Yiyu stood in front of the window, watching his son leaning bonelessly on Ezer, who was sitting upright, playing with his palm, deliberately placing his fingers on his palm, and withdrawing his hand before Ezer closed his palm.

A very childish little game.

But both of them enjoyed it.

Shi Yiyu looked at Azel with a smile on his face. He knew that Azel had always been strict with himself since he was a child, but he had always been tolerant towards Shi Nian, and most of the time he would play with him, just like now.

Although Shi Nian had been clinging to Aizel like this since she was very young, it was not until today that he suddenly realized that the two children had grown up, and perhaps their so-called love for each other was not just a childish quarrel.

Shi Yiyu left quietly. Shi Nian had no idea that he had been there. He won the hand-grabbing game with Azel and happily held hands with him.

Kanat, who was sitting next to Ezer, looked as if he had lost all hope in life. As long as he lowered his head, he could see the two of them holding hands tightly together.

"well--"

Kanat sighed heavily, feeling that the world was unfair. Why was it that Ezer, who became wise later than him, managed to win the beauty's heart earlier than him?

God is unfair? Ah!
