The system takes the poor cub to find his father

Tick-tick-tick, the kettle in the corner of the study made a monotonous and crisp sound. The gurgling sound of the water echoed slowly in the quiet study, becoming clearer and clearer.

Outside the window, the sunlight gradually dimmed, the sky became darker, and a layer of light twilight enveloped the entire study.

Wang An tiptoed up and glanced at His Majesty, who was holding a book with his hand on his chin, seemingly immersed in the sea of ​​books. He looked so focused, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Wang An hesitated for a moment before he slowly moved forward and skillfully lit the candle in the study.

In an instant, the jumping candle flames danced happily in the air, and the swaying light and shadows left dancing shadows on the book in Ming Yunqi's hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Ming Yunqi's brows gradually furrowed, and an unconcealable look of irritation emerged on his face. He suddenly threw the book in his hand heavily onto the table. There was a dull "bang" sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet space. Wang An, who had been cautious and tried his best to reduce his presence, was frightened and trembled all over, and almost lost his footing.

"What time is it?" Ming Yunqi asked, with a hint of fatigue and impatience in his voice.

"Your Majesty, it is already the evening hour." Wang An hurriedly glanced at the floating sword on the clepsydra, and then replied respectfully. His voice was steady, but revealed a hint of nervousness.

Two hours had passed since Ming Jiang took the guy named Bai Lian away.

During these two hours, Ming Yunqi's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat.

He really couldn't figure out what they had to talk about, and why they could talk for two whole hours and still feel unsatisfied. Thinking of this, Ming Yunqi pursed his lips subconsciously, and the expression on his face became colder, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner. Do you want to go see the young prince?" Wang An observed Ming Yunqi's expression and cautiously suggested, his tone full of respect and caution.

Ming Yunqi heard this and looked at Wang An with lightning-like eyes. Wang An felt that his eyes seemed to be able to see through his mind. He lowered his eyes guiltily and subconsciously avoided his sight. Ming Yunqi was silent for a moment, raised his hand to adjust his robe, his movements were elegant and calm, and then slowly stood up from his seat.

"Okay, let's go see him then."

The words were still echoing in the air, and Ming Yunqi's figure had already passed by like a gust of wind. Before Wang An even had time to react, he only felt a sleeve flash past him, bringing with it a gust of wind.

When he looked up, Ming Yunqi had already walked to the door of the study. Wang An quickly restrained his expression and quickly followed him.

His Majesty was tall and had long legs, and his steps were very big, so Wang An had to jog to barely keep up with him.

But in a moment, they arrived at the door of the little cub's room. Before Wang An went forward to knock on the door, the little cub's soft and sweet voice came from the room.

"Uncle Yingzi, try this. Fu Fu made this and it's delicious. But Daddy doesn't let me eat too much because he's afraid I won't be able to finish my meal. Now that Daddy is not here, we can share one."

"Okay." Then, a man's smiling voice sounded. The voice was as gentle as jade, and seemed to carry the warmth of a spring breeze.

"Fu Fu, don't complain to daddy, or I will ignore you." There was a hint of coquettishness in the little cub's tone.

"My young prince, I won't do that." Wang Fu's voice was a little embarrassed. "But, my young prince, His Majesty is doing this for your own good. He's afraid that you might have a stomachache when you sleep at night." Wang Fu patiently comforted him, his words full of concern.

"Huh! I know! But I just like to eat! Hao Fu Fu, daddy is not here anyway, so please stop nagging me." There was a hint of capriciousness in the little cub's voice.

"Don't worry, young eunuch. I will keep an eye on him." The gentle voice sounded again, with a reassuring power in the tone.

"That's right, Fu Fu, go and do your own thing, Uncle Bai Lian is here to accompany me." The little cub's tone was full of dependence on "Uncle Bai Lian".

"But...young prince." Wang Fu wanted to say something else, but Bai Lian winked at him. He had no choice but to look back every few steps and walk out of the room worriedly. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Ming Yunqi standing outside with a puzzled look on his face. Wang Fu was startled and subconsciously wanted to speak to salute, but Ming Yunqi waved his hand to signal him to be silent.

Wang Fu glanced at the door of the room, secretly groaning in his heart. He could only lower his head and walk silently behind Ming Yunqi, not daring to breathe.

"Luckily you are here, Uncle Bai Lian, I love you." The room was filled with the tender and joyful voice of a baby. The voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ming Yunqi's heart.

Wang An and Wang Fu secretly observed the Emperor's expression and felt that the air around them seemed to solidify and become thin, making it hard to breathe.

"Hmph." Ming Yunqi sneered. Although his voice was light, it seemed to carry endless chill.

It hasn't been long since he's been here, and the little guy already said he likes someone else. This heartless little boy, it seems all his snacks will be "confiscated".

Ming Yunqi's expression was so terribly gloomy that it was hard to tell what his mood was at the moment. Wang An and Wang Fu, who were following behind him, looked at each other and saw bitter smiles in each other's eyes. They knew in their hearts that the little prince was going to be in trouble this time. Looking at the face of His Majesty, the little prince could only pray for the best.

There was still laughter in the room, while Wang Fu and Wang An outside were frightened as they saw Ming Yunqi's face getting darker and darker. They lowered their heads almost to the ground, as if this would allow them to avoid His Majesty's icy gaze.

At this moment, they didn't even have the courage to look up at His Majesty's face, and could only pray silently for the little prince in their hearts.

Ming Jiang in the room had no idea that his old father was about to "stare through" his door. Another person in the room, Bai Lian, had already noticed when Ming Yunqi and the others arrived at the door. He glanced at the door calmly, a hint of subtle cunning flashed in his eyes, and then turned his head and deliberately played louder with the little cub.

Ming Jiang was filled with joy, and had no idea of ​​Bai Lian's revengeful thoughts. When he suddenly learned that the home and family he wanted to protect were still there, his excitement surged like a surging tide. He wanted to take out all the good things he thought of and share them with the people around him.

"Uncle, try this, it's delicious. Oh, and this, these are my favorites." The little cub was like a happy little butterfly, busy shuttling around the table with a serving chopstick, putting this dish into Bai Lian's bowl, and then handing that snack to Bai Lian, with a bright smile on his face.

Then he walked around again, carefully picked up a plate of preserved fruits coated with icing sugar with both hands, and placed it solemnly in front of Bai Lian, his eyes sparkling as if there were stars hidden in them.

"This is the preserved fruit that my daddy specially asked someone to make for me. Uncle, you can try it. It's sweet and sour and delicious. You can't stop eating it once you start. I can finish this whole plate by myself." The little cub's tone was full of pride and pride.

"But daddy doesn't let me eat it recently." There was a hint of loss in the little cub's tone.

"Why?" Bai Lian asked cooperatively with a gentle smile on his face.

"Because I think my teeth are about to change, and daddy is afraid that I will damage my teeth if I eat too much sweets." The little cub said, and subconsciously touched his teeth, looking very cute.

"Ming Jiang, do you like your daddy very much?" Bai Lian looked at the things that the little cub had shared with him, and thought about the time he had spent with the little cub this afternoon. Almost every two or three sentences, the little cub would mention his daddy. It can be seen how important his so-called daddy is in the heart of this little guy.

The cub blushed slightly at Bai Lian's question, and lowered his head shyly. Ming Yunqi, who was standing at the door, had raised his hand to knock on the door, but it stopped in mid-air. He seemed to be frozen in place, his eyes full of expectation and nervousness, waiting for the cub's answer.

"Yeah!" Although the little cub's voice was small, it revealed an incomparable firm strength.

"Why? Is it because he is the first person I have ever met in this world and I have a baby bird feeling towards him, or is it because he is the first person in thousands of years who treats Ming Jiang like an ordinary child? Maybe you will understand, maybe this is just an illusion created by you after being comforted after being traumatized." Bai Lian spoke slowly.
