It's just a grocery store.

I slept until midnight and woke up naturally at dawn. After all, the kitten urged me to go to bed last night.

[The Little Homeless Person on the Roof]: If you are going to take someone to school, go to bed early and don’t forget your lunch box.

[Zero is not zero]: No——My night life, goodbye(????e???)

Ling Shi sat up in bed, his weary nerves whispering, "Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer!" Even the blanket on his legs felt like a thousand pounds, but a certain image flashed through his mind, and Ling Shi immediately forced himself to perk up. This was Yukimura's first day back at school, and as a boss, he had to be present for his child's most important moment: getting up and making breakfast.

Resolved, Lingshi stopped dawdling. After getting out of bed and washing up, he even had the energy to fold the quilt. The system's food radar went off, and he materialized, running out and crawling onto Lingshi's shoulder.

System: What delicious food will the host make this morning? I want to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge, or steamed buns with Lao Gan Ma coating will also be fine!

Midnight: ...You are either a weasel or a pig, being so greedy.

System: What? I’m not a pig, nor a weasel. I told you this is just a manifestation!

The system patted Lingshi's shoulder to express its dissatisfaction. Lingshi pinched its face and threatened it with breakfast, and only then did the weasel system calm down.

Zero-hour had no idea what to do, so he decided to go all-in mode, saving any leftovers for lunch! He immediately got to work, and before dawn, the kitchen was already buzzing with the sounds of clanging. After finishing breakfast, he also prepared a bento for Yukimura. Zero-hour kept Yukimura's taste in mind, preparing as many dishes as possible that he might like.

After doing all this, no one came downstairs. Something was wrong. Yukimura didn't seem like the kind of person who would stay in bed. Could it be that he had been in the hospital for too long and hadn't reacted?

The more Lingshi thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. Then, regardless of the fact that the system was still eating, he directly grabbed the weasel that was chewing on the pastry on the dining table by the scruff of the neck and took it upstairs to check.

System: Why did you ask him to get up and take me with him?!

Zero Hour: How dare you start eating without waiting for the child? I am just helping you cut your losses in time.

System: But I am just a weasel now!!!

The system's protests were all blocked at midnight, and he reached out and knocked on Yukimura's door.

Zero Hour: "Little Jingshi, are you up?"

The sound coming from behind the door was a little muffled, as if he had just woken up.

Yukimura: "Sorry, I just woke up. I'll be down right away."

After hearing this, Lingshi responded that he understood, turned around and went downstairs, intending to wait for him in the restaurant.

On the other side, Yukimura in the room buried his face in the quilt, feeling somewhat unacceptable. After all, it was too embarrassing to oversleep because of being too comfortable. Yukimura picked up the phone on the bedside table and checked the time. It was already so late, Yukimura had no choice but to leave the soft quilt and get up.

When Yukimura came down, he saw Lingshi holding a fried dough stick in his hand and teasing a small animal with yellow fur. If he was not mistaken, it looked like a weasel.

Reitoki noticed the movement and looked up to see Yukimura standing there. He waved and greeted him.

"Good morning, come and have dinner. I'll take you to school, no need to rush."

Yukimura: "Good morning, um... Toki-nii."

Zero Hour: “Huh?”

Yukimura: "Because Toki-nii always calls me Seiichi, calling me Toki-nii feels closer, is that okay?"

Ling Shi: "Of course you can, Xiao Jingshi, do you really want to be close to Brother Shi so much? Brother Shi will spoil you. Come, let's eat."

Midnight's acting spirit broke out and he started to tease people. Yukimura saw that he was not going to be teased by him, so he changed the subject.

Yukimura: "Toki, that's just a weasel."

Ling Shi: "Yeah, I raised it. Actually, it's quite cute after looking at it for a while. Do you want to try feeding it?"

System: (The fried dough sticks snatched away during the opportunity no longer smell good) Damn it.

Yukimura: "Is it okay?"

Zero Hour: "Yeah, try it and have breakfast at the same time."

Lingshi picked up a pastry from the plate and handed it to Yukimura. Yukimura took it, tore off a small piece, and held it in front of the weasel.

System: ... (silently takes it and chews it)

Midnight: Tongzi, you are awesome. I will make you something delicious at noon.

Yukimura felt a surge of curiosity in his heart, and immediately started feeding mode, but was stopped by Zero Time.

Reiji: "I'll let you play with it next time. Now you should have breakfast and go to school, Yukimura-kun."

After saying this, Reiji noticed that Yukimura stiffened for a moment, and then returned to his normal state as if nothing had happened.

Midnight: Is she shy? So cute. My life is really worth it.

Feeling that he had discovered Yukimura's cute side, he started feeding him like crazy at midnight, piling everything on the table into Yukimura's bowl with serving chopsticks.

Yukimura: Can I really finish it?

Fortunately, the breakfast tasted really good. Yukimura ate more than usual, thinking to himself that it wouldn't be like this in the future.

Yukimura fell silent again when he thought about the possibility that he might get fat. After piling up the dishes at midnight, he kept observing people's reactions while eating and memorized all of Yukimura's preferences.

In the future, I can cook according to this standard to raise my children. I would like to give myself a thumbs up for my attentiveness. I will definitely raise Yukimura healthy.

Yukimura had no choice but to give up as he really couldn't eat anymore. Reiji seemed to be sober and told Yukimura not to eat too much as it would be bad for his stomach.

Yukimura: I've already eaten too much.

Ling Shi took the keys in one hand and Yukimura's bag in the other and left, only asking Yukimura to follow him and that he would wash the dishes when he got back. When he walked out of the house, there was no car as he had imagined, only a motorcycle parked at the door. Ling Shi said:

Nothing with four wheels can be as exciting as a motorcycle!

Yukimura took the helmet that was thrown to him, immediately got on the motorcycle and turned the engine. The roar was deafening. Yukimura gave himself a psychological hint before getting on the back seat.

Zero Hour: "Hold me tight, Xiao Jingshi, and remember not to talk later."

Yukimura was puzzled but still hugged Reito's waist. With a "bang", the motorcycle disappeared from the spot, leaving only a gust of sand.

The motorcycle was moving so fast that Yukimura had to cling to Reitoki, or he'd be thrown off. It was terrifying, but undeniably exhilarating. Yukimura could feel his heart pounding frantically in his chest. Reitoki could also feel the heartbeat of the body behind him, and it was quickly merging with his own.

Midnight: No boy can refuse a motorcycle, unless he gets carsick... or airsick.

Lingshi, in a cool mood, drove Yukimura all the way to the gate of Rikkai University. When the motorcycle stopped, Yukimura was still in shock. It was not until Lingshi spoke that he woke up from his dream. Yukimura got off the motorcycle, straightened his clothes and was about to say goodbye when Lingshi handed him a lunch box.

Lingshi: "Have a good lunch today. I'll pick you up after school."

Yukimura: "Thank you for the bento, Toki. I had forgotten about it myself. See you tonight."

Yukimura was in such a good mood that he didn't refuse Reiji's offer to pick him up at night. He was treated like a child, but it didn't feel bad.
