Yan Tan clung to the tree trunk, his large black eyes filled with fear and confusion.

He does like shiny things. The first time he saw Shen Mian, he felt there was a light in the dean’s eyes, so when he was picked up, he neither panicked nor ran away.

But it doesn’t mean that as long as it’s shiny Yan Tan will like it. He is an aesthetic little dragon cub, of course, but he does not like this eye-catching colour scheme.

Yan Zhou thought it was because the dress wasn’t cool enough, thought back to the product description and silently pressed the sequined dragon cub’s nose.

That nose was actually a switch. After pressing it, the small lights in the red sequins started to flash.

Yan Tan sniffed and was about to cry from the ugliness.

But he seldom refused Yan Zhou and even when he was forced to do something, he doesn’t dare to refuse Yan Zhou, so he tearfully accepted the gift.

Yan Zhou hesitantly tried to hold Yan Tan’s paws, however, little Yan Tan mistakenly thought that Yan Zhou disliked his slow movement. Frightened, he fluttered his wings hugging the box and flew to his two companions.

Yan Zhou’s empty hand slowly clenched. The physical distance between him and Yan Tan is clearly no more than ten metres but in actuality, he was years away. He finally realised that he was far from his child.

He Xing gently put his hand on Shen Mian’s shoulder, “Do you think what Yan Zhou did was useful?”

Shen Mian’s shoulders were heavy, his personality was cold. Even during the apocalypse, people who had been with him for a few years rarely would dare to come up to him and hook around his shoulders. But this feeling is not bad. Shen Mian let him stay on his shoulders, “Do you think Yan Tan’s expression looked like he was moved?”

“This Yan Zhou, he doesn’t understand Yan Tan at all, he thinks that Yan Tan is just awkward around him. Do you know what Yan Tan asked me in the morning?”

He Xing blinked, “What?”

Shen Mian, “He asked me how to tell Livia that his dad wants to adopt him.”

He Xing was shocked, “Yan Tan was serious?”

He thought that Yan Tan saying that giving Yan Zhou another cub was just something said out of anger.

Shen Mian glanced at him, “Yan Zhou should be thankful that most dragon cubs now don’t have quantum computer’s. If Yan Tan wanted to contact Livia, he would still have to ask us to borrow our quantum computer’s, otherwise, he would’ve already told Livia about this matter.”

In addition, from what Yan Tan had said that day, Livia’s parents shouldn’t be here anymore. A cub without a quantum computer and far away from the Imperial Star is really hard to reach.

He Xing, “Tragic, this is too tragic. But we can’t go on like this. Can we give Yan Zhou a push?”

Shen Mian sneered, “What’s the matter? You don’t want the dragons under your command to suffer?”

He Xing laughed, “What do you mean, what does it have to do with me if he’s from the third legion, Yan Zhou is my lieutenant general. I just kind of… felt sorry for him. Yan Zhou isn’t a good father, but he is a good general. You see, in our line of work, who doesn’t owe a debt to their family?”

Shen Mian was silent for a moment, his heart slightly poked.

He Xing’s fingers touched Shen Mian’s hair, he secretly glanced at Shen Mian and seeing that Shen Mian was distracted and didn’t notice him, he couldn’t resist poking it a few times.
