It was too late to stop Ye Mu from speaking now. Chi Huo had heard enough, and his clever little brain could guess the rest.
His eyes lit up, and he smiled as he took Xiao Xingxing's hand, "I'll go ask Uncle Xiao if we can get married too, okay? I can protect you forever."
Xiao Xingxing's fear always caused his ear tufts to pop out, a habit he hadn't broken in two years. Now, his ears, covered in soft gray fur, twitched.
His expression was a little hesitant. He just knew that marrying Chi Huo like this felt a bit wrong, but he couldn't quite pinpoint why. The whole situation was very strange.
Ye Mu gently removed Luo Qi's hand from his mouth and said very seriously to Xiao Xingxing, "Marriage is a big deal, you must consider it carefully."
Chi Huo nodded, feeling the weight of responsibility on his small shoulders. He looked at Xiao Xingxing, "That's right, you can examine me."
Xiao Xingxing: "..." Absolutely not necessary.
Ye Mu usually acted like a steady little adult, but when it came to marriage, he was "quite experienced."
So, with the air of someone who had been through it all, he put a possessive arm around Luo Qi's shoulder and turned to impart his wisdom to Chi Huo.
Luo Qi quietly moved a little further away from Ye Mu, wondering if attending primary school would teach Ye Mu anything about marriage and relationships.
While he liked handsome men, he liked those with broad shoulders, long legs, eight-pack abs, and a mature aura in every gesture.
Not like Ye Mu, this stubborn little cub who wanted to get married at four years old!
As the little cub Ye Mu was talking to Chi Huo, he suddenly felt a chill down his back. He looked around curiously, tightening his grip on Luo Qi's arm.
Chi Huo didn't remember any of the performances or songs at the Bella Kindergarten graduation party.
All he remembered was that after today, he would be a big cub with a wife. Although his wife was still innocently eating candy and completely unaware of this matter.
But it didn't matter. Ye Mu had said, shamelessness is invincible... no, that was what Luo Qi had said.
What had Ye Mu said?
"Sincerity can move mountains."
After the party ended, Ye Mu still felt a bit unsatisfied, but soon new things captured his full attention.
As graduation was approaching, the children in Bella's Flower Class were very reluctant to part with their classmates.
And the best way for the children to express their reluctance and affection was...
Kisses, hugs, and being lifted high.
So, after Luo Qi was hugged by the third child and had a kiss imprinted on his round face, Ye Mu became a little angry.
No, not a little, but very angry. He glared at any child who wanted to approach Luo Qi with the fierce gaze of a little wolf cub, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
No hugs allowed, not ever. If absolutely necessary, you could only hug me like this.
The children liked Luo Qi's chubby little body and his round face. Hugging him was like hugging a cute little bear or a soft little kitten.
What was the point of hugging Ye Mu?
Was it for his strong possessiveness or his bared teeth?
As for Ye Mu, who wouldn't let go of Luo Qi and repeatedly emphasized to every child that Luo Qi was his future wife,
The children speechless walked away.
Luo Qi clicked his tongue. Although he felt a bit shy and sticky from the children's kisses and hugs, it also meant he was popular!
Now, because Ye Mu guarded him like a dragon guarding its treasure, no children were coming to snuggle him!
It was all Ye Mu's fault!
For the first time in three years, Luo Qi's opinion was validated by 111: "I also think Ye Mu is a bit wrong."
Luo Qi asked in surprise, "Ah? Didn't you always think Ye Mu was the destined protagonist? How come you agree with me this time?"
He was shielded by Ye Mu, cupping his face in his hands and blinking. Even 111 had to admit that Luo Qi was indeed a very good-looking and cute little cub.
"Alas, I'm also at fault. It's all because I'm too cute, otherwise Ye Mu wouldn't have made a mistake."
111 immediately snapped out of its admiring mood, "I said Ye Mu was wrong, don't you want to know where he went wrong?"
Luo Qi smiled and nodded, "I'm all ears."
"Alas," 111 mimicked Luo Qi's tone, "He's good in every way, except his eyesight is a bit poor. How can he, at such a young age, voluntarily take on a burden like you who isn't motivated."
Luo Qi: "..." Ptooey!
"You're just jealous."
111: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Luo Qi was furious.
111 laughed so hard in the system space that its data got tangled. After a while, it finally spoke:
"By the way, I came out to tell you that you'd better hurry back to Insect Star. That female insect general is about to give birth."
Luo Qi's expression changed, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ye Mu had been keeping an eye on Luo Qi. Seeing him suddenly change color for some reason and run outside, he also ran out.
Neither Cesi nor Ye Yun had come to this graduation party. The leader of Earth Star seemed to be ill, and some people were starting to stir. Ye Yun had been stationed on Earth Star, entrusting Ye Mu to Cesi.
Cesi, however, had been on Insect Star because the Mother Tree had recently become active. He guessed that Lia's cub was probably about to be born, but he didn't know the exact date.
Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence that Luo Qi and Ye Mu came out today, and Aunt Lia was about to give birth!
As Luo Qi ran towards where the starship was parked, he asked 111 in his mind, "But why did you specifically come to tell me? Is there any role for me?"
111 was a bit surprised by how sharp Luo Qi's intuition had become, "It might be useful, or it might not be. But it's best if you can make it back."
