Shi Nian was startled when she heard Annan's voice. Her confused mind regained some clarity and she quickly pushed Azel away. Before he could pounce on her again, she pulled the pillow and pressed it on his face to prevent him from kissing her again.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Annan." Shi Nian spared no effort to answer, "We'll be down right away."

Annan listened to Shi Nian's hoarse voice, frowned slightly, and knocked on the door twice with his fingers. "Azel, where are you? Why aren't you talking?"

In the room, Ezel was completely susceptible. His blond hair was wet with sweat and stuck to the side of his face because the lower half of his face was covered by the pillow. His bloodshot purple eyes stared straight at Shi Nian, with a hint of grievance in them.

Why don't you want him?

Why did you stuff a pillow in his mouth?

Azel just wanted to hug Shi Nian, but the other party seemed to be rejecting him. This realization made him depressed. He drooped his eyelashes pitifully, and his whole body was shrouded in an unhappy atmosphere.

Shi Nian felt a little guilty when he looked at her, but when she heard An Nan knocking on the door more and more urgently, she became extremely nervous. "Uncle An Nan is calling you, hurry up and answer him!"

Ezel looked at the pillow and blinked.

"Then you can't come over and kiss me again!" Shi Nian deliberately warned him with a stern face before putting the pillow down, "And answer Uncle Annan obediently, or I will ignore you."

Ezel nodded obediently, and said in a negotiating tone, "Then can I hold you?"

Shi Nian hesitated for a few seconds before helplessly spreading her arms and saying, "Hold me."

Shi Nian was quickly embraced by Azel, holding her face to face.

There was a big head on Shi Nian's neck, and her waist was held by strong arms, but the strength was not as strong as before. It was obvious that Azel was restraining his strength for fear of hurting Shi Nian again.

Shi Nian glanced at Azel, who looked satisfied, with a smile in her eyes. She ruffled his golden hair and said, "Hurry up and talk to Uncle Annan."

Ezel listened attentively to Shi Nian's words and finally spoke, "I know, Dad. We'll be down soon."

Ezer's voice sounded strange, and Annan stood at the door for a while in confusion, his hand on the door handle. He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally turned around and went downstairs with full of doubts.

Shi Nian and Aizel stayed in the room for a while. He found that Aizel would be particularly clingy during his susceptible period and was much more unreasonable than usual.

Like a willful child, he is also very domineering.

In short, he is far from the image of a steady and reliable big brother that he usually presents.

Shi Nian was very surprised by Azel's appearance. She felt an inexplicable sense of novelty as if her identity had been swapped. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she had an additional thought.

"Azel, can you call me brother?" Shi Nian looked up at him expectantly, took out a candy from her pocket, and said in a tempting tone, "Call me brother, and I'll give it to you."

He seemed to be treating the susceptible Ezel as a child.

Aizel stared at Shi Nian with confused purple eyes, and opened his mouth, "Brother..."

Shi Nian hummed, her eyes sparkling, "Yes! Call me brother."

But the next second, Shi Nian was pushed down on the bed, his body bounced slightly by the soft bed, his soft black hair scattered on the white sheets. He was obviously not back to his senses, and while he was stunned, Azel kissed his lips and pried open his teeth.

"...Little Rose calls me brother...calls me brother..." Ezel kept murmuring, looking at Shi Nian's flushed face, pecking his lips again and again, "I like to hear Little Rose call me brother, call me brother..."

This time the kiss was particularly intense, and Shi Nian's brain was almost deprived of oxygen. After being bitten and rubbed, her pale pink lips looked like crushed red roses, red and eroded.

Shi Nian couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly called him, "Um...Brother, brother..."

Shi Nian was actually quite angry. He was the one who had asked Aizel to call him brother, but why was he the one who ended up calling him brother? This wasn't what he had expected!

But even though he shouted, Azel didn't stop.

Shi Nian became even angrier and bit down hard on his lips. He had very good teeth and this bite made Azel sober up a little.

Azel sucked in a breath of cold air and tasted the blood in his mouth. He looked at Shi Nian, whose face and eyes were red, and instantly panicked.

"I'm sorry, Little Rose." Azel pulled Shi Nian up and examined his lips again and again with concern. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the skin was not broken. His tone was apologetic, "I was impulsive again."

Shi Nian snorted, pushed him away, got off the bed, put on her shoes, and strode away angrily, "I'm not going to play with you anymore. Let's go downstairs and eat."

While walking, Shi Nian secretly glanced back at Azel. If he apologized to him now and called him brother, he would not be unable to forgive him.

But Ezer just walked behind him with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid to face his parents.

Shi Nian suddenly became even angrier, and even after going downstairs, he still had a sour face. Seeing Annan and Marshal Garnet already sitting at the dining table waiting for them, he called them politely, "Uncle Annan, Uncle Garnet, I'm sorry we're late."

Annan and Garnett saw Shi Nian and Azel coming down from the stairs one after another. The former was angry and the latter was dejected, with a classic look of conflict. They were very curious about what had happened.

Annan waved to him, and Shi Nian sat next to him.

Azel sat next to Shi Nian, who ignored him and rested her head on Annan's shoulder.

Garnett looked at Shi Nian, who was the same height as Annan, and was visibly shocked. He murmured with emotion, "He has grown so big..."

He remembered that Nian was very small at the beginning, the kind that could be lifted up with one hand.

Unlike Ezel who grew up under his nose, Shi Nian's growth gave Garnet a greater sense of the passage of time. He had a strange sense of accomplishment of watching a child grow up.

Annan looked at them with amusement, picked up a small meatball for Shi Nian, and put it to his mouth. "What's wrong? Did Azel bully you?"

He bit the meatball and chewed it, but was too embarrassed to speak.

Are we supposed to say that he's angry because Ezer keeps kissing him and hasn't called him brother yet?

No, no, I'm too shy.

"no……"

"I did something wrong."

Shi Nian and Aizer spoke at the same time. Shi Nian turned her head to look at him in surprise, with juice from the meatballs still on her lips.

Azel took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, explaining to Annan, "I'm in a sensitive period and my emotions are unstable. I didn't treat him well just now..."

As for how bad it was, he kept silent and refused to talk about it.

Annan nodded, "Is that so? Ah..."

Garnett thought that it was Ezel who was angry with Shi Nian, because he, as a father, knew how irritable his son was during his susceptible period. He still remembered the last time Ezel lost control of his temper during his susceptible period and sent the provocative Alpha to the hospital.

Garnet immediately waved his hand in disapproval. "How can you be so mean to a little Omega? Ezel, that's really wrong. Apologize now."

Ezel lowered his head. "I'm sorry, little rose."

Shi Nian felt extremely embarrassed and blushed, "No, it's okay."

He was screaming like a groundhog in his heart, hoping that Uncle Annan and Uncle Garnett would not know the real reason for his conflict with Ezel, otherwise he would lose all face.

They must feel like they are childish.

Shi Nian and Aizel reconciled, and Annan and Garnett didn't dwell on the matter, and casually let it go, which made Shi Nian breathe a sigh of relief.

Regarding Ezel's susceptible period, Garnett offered a suggestion, stroking his stubbled chin. "My dear son, you're not very safe right now because you're susceptible. For the sake of weak little Nian Nian, why don't you go back upstairs and lock yourself up. I, your old father, will bring you food."

Ezer looked at him coldly, the meaning was self-evident.

Shi Nian couldn't bear to let Azel go back upstairs alone, so she spoke up for him, "Actually, Azel's susceptible period isn't that dangerous. He won't hit me, so it's okay."

Garnett really wanted to retort, of course this kid would hit people, and he could hit them violently, but when he saw Ezer's cold expression, he chose to keep a good impression on his eldest son and swallowed his words.

The atmosphere at the table was harmonious and friendly. Shi Nian had grown up here, so he wasn't shy at all. He happily ate his favorite cola chicken wings and garlic shrimp balls.

Azel ate very little, and most of the time he was lost in thought while watching, then he would stealthily move closer to him.

Annan and Garnett both saw this scene, looked at each other, frowned at the same time, but said nothing in front of Shi Nian.

Garnett had a bad premonition. In order to suppress this bad premonition, he took out a glass of wine and drank it in big gulps. Annan handed the glass to him and Garnett poured him a glass.

The two clinked glasses and drank thoughtfully.

Shi Nian was eating when she suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Garnett and asked tentatively, "Uncle Garnett, do you want to accept any students?"

"I miss you." Garnett was a little sad when he talked about this topic. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, sighing, "I really liked your brother, but that stupid boy ran off with Yuan Yunqing halfway through."

"My useless son went to live with your old Yu. Sigh... I'm now all alone."

Shi Nian suddenly felt hopeful. He suppressed the joy on his face and continued to probe, "Uncle Garnett, um, I have a friend..."

After hearing this standard opening, Annan put down his wine glass and looked at Shi Nian, curious about what he would say as a friend.

Shi Nian sorted out her words, "He wants to be your student and plans to strive for first place in next year's league and graduation competition. If he becomes the head of the university department, do you agree?"

Garnett had been drinking a bit too much and was a bit tipsy. He didn't notice the familiar pattern and looked at Shi Nian with interest. "It seems that Xiao Niannian has high expectations for this person. Is he so sure that he will be the next chief?"

Shi Nian was a little embarrassed to say that the person was him, "Maybe... probably... anyway, his goal is this."

Garnett looked at him and asked, "Little Niannian really wants me to take him in?"

Shi Nian nodded immediately, "I really want to!"

Garnett readily agreed. "Sure, the headmaster of West College is a hot commodity. If he comes to me and applies, I promise to approve it. How about that?"

Shi Nian finally got what he wanted and nodded excitedly, "Yeah! Thank you, Uncle Garnett. You really are the best uncle, the best in the entire empire!"

Shi Nian's sweet words came to mind easily, making Garnett laugh out loud.

Annan smiled and glanced at Ezel, who didn't find it strange. He lowered his head and asked, "Honey, tell me the truth. Is the student you mentioned who wants to apply for Garnett to be your teacher you?"

Shi Nian hugged his arm, smiled shyly, and shushed him, her meaning very clear.

Annan smiled, looked at the silly-looking Garnett, and shook his head with a laugh. It seemed that Garnett and Yu Luhan, the two enemies, were going to fight again.

After finishing his meal, Shi Nian was about to go home. Aizel stood up and walked over to him, "I'll take you there."

He put a suppression ring on his neck. Shi Nian was not familiar with the Alpha's susceptible period and thought it was similar to the Omega's estrus period. He just needed an injection of inhibitor and put on the suppression ring and everything would be fine.

But in reality, there is no specific cure for Alpha's susceptible period, because the symptoms are mostly different and are mainly related to emotions. Most of the time, you have to suppress it yourself. The inhibition ring is just to prevent the leakage of pheromones and cause confusion.

Shi Nian also wanted to walk outside with him, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, we can go feed Xiaoju and the others on the way."

There are many stray cats in this community. At first, the property staff wanted to drive them away, but the owners didn't mind these little animals.

Those who can live in this area are either rich or noble. After they give the order, the staff will let the little ones stay in this place where every inch of land is valuable.

Everyone specially built a residence for them, which is equipped with various cat climbing frames and cat toys. It is much more luxurious than the cat parks outside.

Azel packed a bag of cat food, cat treats, and canned cat food, and he and Shi Nian prepared to go to the Kitten House.

Just before they left, Annan and Garnett called Ezel aside. Shi Nian looked at them curiously, but they all lowered their voices and he couldn't hear what they were saying.

Annan looked serious and asked Azel, "Tell me, are you interested in Little Rose?"

Ezel admitted directly, "Yes, we are together."

An Nan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and he punched his shoulder hard, frowning, "...How am I supposed to explain this to Yi Yu and the others?!"

His son actually kidnapped someone else's little son. How will he face his friends in the future?

Garnett had a smile on his lips and was filled with joy. He secretly glanced at Shi Nian, who happened to look over. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Shi Nian showed a bright smile, with red lips and white teeth, which was so pleasing.

Garnett could hardly suppress the smile on his face. "Little Omega, tsk tsk tsk, is this what makes Old Yu happy? Little Omega is different from a debt collector, ah."

That’s great, the little cotton-padded jacket will soon be his home.

Garnett was so happy that he wanted to sing a song on the spot.

"Uncle Yiyu agreed." Azel said to Annan, "Now only Uncle Yu doesn't know, but it will probably be soon."

Annan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his friendship was saved.

Garnett looked at Shi Nian with an increasingly friendly gaze. Shi Nian guessed that Ezel had probably talked it out with Uncle Annan and Uncle Garnett, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so the smile on her face became even brighter.

Annan sighed, looked at Azel, then looked at Shi Nian, "Little Rose is fine, but you...tsk."

The look in his eyes seemed to be saying: How could his little baby like such a thing?

Azel: “…”

Is it your biological child?

When Shi Nian was waiting for Azel, she saw An Nan waving at her and walked forward puzzledly, "Uncle An Nan?"

Annan rubbed his little head and said softly, "Azel has told me about you two. Honey, if Azel bullies you, you must tell me."

Shi Nian inexplicably felt like he was meeting his parents. Although he knew them well, he still felt quite shy. He blushed and hugged An Nan, "Yes, but Brother Azel won't bully me."

Annan smiled and stroked his hair. "That's right. You guys never fought when you were at your most mischievous."

After saying goodbye to Annan and Garnet, Shi Nian and Aizel went to the Kitten House.

Shi Nian's favorite is a fat orange cat in the house, but because there is a precious little girl at home, she is very sensitive to the smell of other cats. Every time Shi Nian pets the big orange cat, she will disinfect her whole body to remove the odor before she dares to go home.

But this time, there were only a few kittens in the Kitten House. As soon as Shi Nian and Azel arrived, they meowed and came over, rubbing against their trouser legs intimately.

Ezel put cat food into their food bowls and opened a can of cat food and placed it on the ground.

Shi Nian was feeding the two tabby cats with cat food in her hand, and her eyes were looking for the fat orange cat, but for some reason, the fat orange cat never showed up.

"How strange! Xiaoju should be lying in the cat bed at this time." Shi Nian walked under the shade of the tree, frowning in confusion. "He's the laziest one and rarely goes out for a stroll. Why isn't he here today?"

Ezel chuckled and took his hand. "Maybe there's a cat outside that he likes."

Shi Nian couldn't figure out why Xiaoju would go out. After thinking about it, she actually felt that Azel's guess was very likely. She smiled expectantly, "I wonder what kind of little female cat Xiaoju would like."

A few minutes later, they arrived at Shi Nian's home. Azel walked Shi Nian to the front of the yard and kissed him on the lips. "I'll be leaving now. Take care."

Shi Nian held his hand and said, "Why don't you come to my house and play? My father and dad are probably not at home."

Azel: “…”

Ezel naturally couldn't bear to refuse such an active invitation.

For safety reasons, Shi Nian asked Aizer to follow behind him, and he went to open the door first to confirm whether there was anyone at home. The door slowly opened, and Shi Nian poked his head in to take a look.

What he didn't expect was that Shi Yiyu was actually at home. He was holding Paiqi in his arms, stroking its belly with his slender hands.

Shi Nian was relieved when she confirmed that Yu Luhan was not at home. She led Aizel into the house with confidence and said, "Dad, I'm back. Isn't father home?"

Shi Yiyu glanced at Azel. Azel called him. Shi Yiyu nodded and lowered his eyes. "I was at home just now, but now I'm out."

Shi Nian pulled Aizel over to the sofa and sat down. "Where has Father gone? Is there something going on at the military headquarters?"

"No." Shi Yiyu touched Paiqi's slightly bulging belly and frowned. "Paiqi is pregnant with a kitten from another cat, but we don't know which one it is. Your father is furious and has gone to the neighborhood to catch cats."

Shi Nian was stunned for a moment. "He?, why is he catching a cat?"

Shi Yiyu: "Send them for sterilization. Your father said it's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go. I guess he will take all the male cats in this area to the pet hospital for sterilization."

Shi Nian and Aizel were both dumbfounded.

"I advise you not to appear in front of Old Yu today. He's in a very extreme mood right now." Shi Yiyu glanced at Ezel and said calmly, "If you don't want to end up like those tomcats, run away."
