As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

As the sun gradually sets, night falls like a giant black curtain, slowly spreading across the sky and gradually enveloping the earth.

In the quiet of the night, Möbius, dressed in a deep purple gown, sat serenely at the dining table. Her long, flowing green hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

But at this moment, a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction flickered in her emerald-green eyes as she stared directly at Chen Yuan opposite her.

"So, you just brazenly lured a little girl home like that?" Little Möbius's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, like the biting winter wind.

At this point, Little Möbius narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned, clearly very angry about Chen Yuan's behavior.

Faced with Möbius's questioning, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and then said, "Well, there are indeed some special circumstances involved!"

Chen Yuan chuckled twice, a forced smile on his face, and then said, "I had no choice, and besides, Little Pado is so cute, it's not a big deal for her to come into our family."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan gently lifted the little Pado in his arms, as if to prove that what he said was true. Little Pado's big, round eyes were timidly looking at the little Mebius in front of her.

Her small nose twitched slightly, and her lips were pursed, revealing a hint of nervousness. Her little hands gripped Chen Yuan's clothes tightly, and her body trembled slightly, like a frightened little rabbit, making one feel an irresistible tenderness.

Seeing little Paddo's appearance, Möbius frowned, but his tone softened slightly. "Even if she looks cute, that's no excuse for bringing strangers home."

"To me, she's not exactly a stranger. Her name is Padofilis. Besides, little Padofilis is quite capable with her hands, much better than clumsy people like you!"

"And that's not all. Her past experiences have quite a few similarities to yours." After saying this, Chen Yuan deliberately paused, keeping everyone in suspense, while also glancing at Möbius almost imperceptibly.

"You bastard... tsk tsk!" Little Möbius frowned slightly, his lips curled into a slight smirk, revealing a clear hint of displeasure, and he clicked his tongue in disdain.

A hint of annoyance flickered in his emerald eyes, as if he disapproved of what Chen Yuan had said. However, after a brief pause, Little Mébius shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.

"Well, since you've already said that, what else can I say?" Then, Little Möbius turned his gaze to Padofilis.

The girl was slightly younger than him and was curled up in Chen Yuan's warm embrace, looking as adorable as a frightened little rabbit.

When Möbius's gaze fell upon the remarkable scene before him, the resentment that had been buried deep in his heart exploded like a powder keg being ignited.

And the fire grew fiercer and fiercer, and without hesitation, it took a big step forward, heading straight towards the direction where Padofilis and Chenyuan were.

As the distance closed, Möbius slightly raised her delicate chin, then spoke in a crisp, slightly sarcastic tone,

"My name is Möbius, and as for the relationship between this guy who's holding you so tightly and me... well..."

"Hmm, that weird uncle with peculiar fetishes who always has ulterior motives towards little girls can barely be considered my guardian."

However, before she could finish speaking, Chen Yuan, who was sitting to the side, could no longer remain seated and wanted to open his mouth to refute her. He opened his lips slightly, already preparing a series of words to defend his reputation and image.

However, to everyone's surprise, Padophilia was much more agile than him. In an instant, the latter suddenly broke free from Chenyuan's warm embrace.

And it quickly raised its little head. Its big, bright eyes were wide open, and its pink cheeks were flushed red with anger, making it look as adorable as a ripe apple.

Then, disregarding everything else, she raised her voice and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Lord Chenyuan is definitely not some perverted lolicon! No one is allowed to slander him like this!"

Although the voice gradually faded, those eyes remained fixed on little Möbius, as if they contained an unyielding will.

"Lord Chenyuan is a very, very good person! I absolutely will not allow you to slander him like this!" Padofilis glared at Little Mebius with her big, watery eyes and shouted angrily.

Her two delicate pink hands were clenched into fists, and her originally fair and lovely face was now as red as a ripe apple due to her intense emotions.

Upon hearing these words, young Möbius, standing to the side, was visibly stunned. He blinked a few times, clearly surprised and taken aback by Padophilia's strong reaction.

Immediately afterwards, Möbius bit his lip lightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a slightly mocking smile.

He then slowly turned his gaze toward Chen Yuan and began to scrutinize him from head to toe with a strange, scrutinizing look, as if examining a criminal.

"Oh? Judging from this, it seems she really does get along very well with you. That's quite unexpected."

"I never imagined that an ordinary-looking middle-aged man like you would have such abilities, making an innocent little girl protect you so much."

As he spoke, Möbius raised his eyebrows slightly, his mocking smile growing even more pronounced.

Faced with Little Möbius's sarcastic remarks, Chen Yuan could only shake his head helplessly and mutter under his breath.

"Hey, I've told you so many times, please stop calling me 'uncle' all the time."

After saying this, Chen Yuan sighed deeply, and then carefully placed Xiao Paduo, who was sitting on his lap, onto a chair next to him.

She bent down and gently stroked her hair, softly comforting her, "Little Paddo, don't be afraid. Actually, Sister Mebius was just joking with us, she didn't mean any harm, right, Mebius?"

"Hmph!" Mebius let out a disgruntled snort, though the disdain in his eyes lessened slightly.

After a brief pause, she turned back to look at Padofilis, who was still sitting in the chair, and her tone softened considerably. "Alright, since you're so insistent on protecting your Lord Chenyuan, I'll let it go for now."

When she mentioned "Lord Chenyuan," Little Mebius deliberately emphasized the words. Her clenched teeth and slightly raised tone made it seem as if she was trying her best to emphasize some information.

"Then tell me, how did you meet this 'pervert'... no, how did you meet this man, and why did you decide to go home with him?"

"Also, don't you have any family? You just followed a strange-looking old man home like that, won't your family worry about you?"

Upon hearing Möbius's words, Padofilis's eyes widened suddenly, instantly filled with wariness. Like a startled rabbit, he stared intently at Möbius, his body involuntarily shrinking back.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan, who was standing to the side, coughed a few times awkwardly, then gently nudged Padofilis beside him and softly comforted her, "It's alright, little Padofilis, don't be afraid. Just speak your mind."

Encouraged by Chen Yuan, Padofilis relaxed a little, but still seemed somewhat nervous. She pursed her pink lips, took a deep breath, met Little Mébius's gaze again, and slowly began to speak.

“I have no family, and I’ve forgotten when I started living alone in Twilight Street. But Master Chenyuan… he not only saved my life, but also patiently taught me, letting me know what kind of person I should become in the future… so I trust him very much.”

After saying this, a faint blush appeared on Padofilis's face, as beautiful and charming as a peach blossom in spring.

"Is that so?" Little Möbius was about to ask further when he suddenly noticed Aponia carrying a sumptuous dinner toward him.

Left with no other choice, he swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue, secretly regretting that he had missed a good opportunity to understand the situation better.

"Alright, Mebius, fill your stomach first. We can discuss this matter later." Seeing the current situation, Chen Yuan first turned to Aponia and gave her a grateful smile.

Then she turned her gaze to Padofilis beside her and said in a gentle tone, "Little Padofilis, don't just stand there, come and eat with us."

Upon hearing this, Padofilis was slightly taken aback, her already somewhat nervous demeanor becoming even more apparent. However, under Chen Yuan's watchful gaze, she mustered her courage and quietly walked to the dining table to sit down.

Meanwhile, Aponia, with a constant smile on her face, deftly and meticulously arranged the tableware for the three of them.

Once everything was ready, she gracefully took her seat beside Chen Yuan. Overall, while the atmosphere of the dinner wasn't exactly lively or cheerful, it was still quite harmonious.

However, Little Möbius seemed to harbor resentment towards Patofilis's appearance, his emerald green eyes constantly glancing at Patofilis intentionally or unintentionally.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Aponia thoughtfully took Padofilis's small hand and led her upstairs, saying that she would prepare a warm and comfortable room for her to rest in.
