In the following days, Qiao You pestered Helian Jue to go swimming with him, switching freely between human and fish forms, catching him off guard from time to time.
This gave Helian Jue a real headache, so he could only prepare his swim trunks by the pool for easy access.
Every time Qiao You saw him transform from a human into a fish, his tattered swimming trunks floating on the pool, he felt annoyed! How could he have forgotten again?
I silently made a mental note of it, and I'm sure I'll remember it next time.
But I never remembered it...
As the year draws to a close, the public opinion survey of the imperial family is in full swing.
Qiao You consistently posted updates on the StarNet, which boosted Helian Jue's favorability and established an image of gentleness and care for spirit pets. As a result, Helian Jue's ranking gradually rose to fifth.
Compared to Helian Jue's busy schedule, Qiao You had a much easier time, secretly trying to make cakes every day when her brother wasn't home.
After half a month of learning, I'm now doing it reasonably well; at least I've got the whole process down, although the results are still a complete mess...
Qiao You sat at the entrance of the villa, waiting for Helian Jue to come home, propping his head up with one hand as he pondered.
Currently, the Second Prince Helian Tu is ranked second, and he is extremely smug on the StarNet every day.
Although he had never met Helian Tu in person, he could tell from his appearance that the man was hypocritical.
How should he help his brother?
"Baby, is it cold sitting here?"
Helian Jue returned, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Qiao You sitting at the door waiting for him.
Qiao You happily got up and took Helian Jue's hand, "Brother, you're back."
Helian Jue led Xiaoyu into the house and apologized, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to spend with you, baby."
"Brother's matter is important~" Qiao You replied, he still knew what was important and what was urgent!
But Helian Jue felt apologetic, so he made a point of setting aside time for tomorrow.
"I'll spend time with you tomorrow, baby. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Helian Jue took off his coat and headed straight for the kitchen.
Qiao You followed behind like a little tail, saying, "Wherever brother goes, I'll go too."

Capital Star, Imperial Palace, Turan Hall.
"Second Prince, there's a risk in what we're doing," a man dressed as a guard knelt on the ground, replying fearfully.
The man at the head of the table, dressed in a robe with gold trim, had a stern face and cold eyes as he looked at the kneeling guards. “Risk? That’s your concern. I only want the results.”
"This time, I will still crush Helian Jue under my feet."
"Helian Jue's votes have increased so much, is there anything wrong with that?" Helian Tu asked.
The person in the audience replied, "After professional testing, there is no problem."
"No? If His Highness says he has it, then he has it." Helian Tu's voice hardened. "Miyang, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty understands." Mi Yang replied tremblingly. In recent years, the Second Prince's temperament had become increasingly eccentric.
Helian Tu raised his hand, and a giant python slowly climbed up his body. "Isn't Helian Jue benefiting from having a spirit pet that pleases the people?"
Mi Yang remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
"Step back, Your Highness awaits your good news." Helian Tu gently stroked the python's head, the black snake spirit pet nuzzling affectionately against him, its forked tongue flicking out as if trying to please its master.
"Yes." Mi Yang bowed, stood up, and turned to leave the palace.
I had only taken a few steps when I heard a scream behind me, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
"Arad, get rid of it," Helian Tu coldly ordered. "And find me a merman spirit pet."
Mi Yang felt a chill run down his spine and quickened his pace.
Your Highness...you personally killed the spirit pet you had raised for many years?
Miyan dared not think further; he only wanted to escape the palace as quickly as possible.
After leaving the Turan Palace, Miyan walked hurriedly through the palace with unsteady steps.
He only started working for the Second Prince last year. His Majesty originally intended to send him to the Eastern Palace, but the Empress strongly opposed it, citing the scarcity of talent around the Second Prince, and instead assigned his name to the Tulan Palace.
For a year, Mi Yang was not given important responsibilities and was only given some odd jobs. It was only three months ago that he began to be involved in important matters.
Because of the news that Helian Tu had gone deep into the impoverished planet, which spread widely on the Star Network and received a lot of praise, his name came into the public eye.
"Bang--"
Mi Yang quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."
"Senior Mi Yang?"
Is it someone I know? Mi Yang looked up and took a closer look; it really was someone I knew!
"Yu Qin? What are you doing here?" Mi Yang tried his best to make his tone sound normal.
Yu Qin was assigned by Eleanor to retrieve something from the Crown Prince's Heartless Palace, but unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance. "Senior, I've come to pick up something."
"Yes." Mi Yang nodded. "Have you finished? I need to leave the palace now."
Yu Qin put away his things. "I'm about to leave the palace too, senior, let's go together."
...
It's 7:30 in the morning.
Qiao You huddled under the covers for a few seconds before slowly lifting the covers and getting up.
Helian Jue was already waiting by the bedside, holding the clothes Qiao You needed to wear today.
Almost every morning, Qiao You wakes up at 7:30 sharp.
Once dressed and washed, Qiao You can force the computer to boot up.
"Brother, where are we going?" Qiao You asked as he sat at the dining table eating breakfast.
Helian Jue handed over a handkerchief, "Let's go for a walk in the central park."
Qiao You didn't know where Central Park was, but he had seen related videos on his personal computer, and they seemed quite fun.
