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

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, the room fell silent. Himeko rubbed her aching back, gave an awkward laugh, and then got up to tidy up the room. Theresa glared at her and joined in the cleaning.

"What kind of mess is this?" Chen Yuan shook his head and stood up. "You three should come and help too, otherwise you'll be sleeping on the streets tonight."

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Kiana, Bronya, and Raiden Mei exchanged glances. Although their faces showed some helplessness, they could only obediently join the cleaning team.

Kiana muttered, "If I had known it would be this troublesome, I would have just gone to a regular dorm... I hate cleaning the most."

"Alright, Kiana, stop being so resentful." Raiden Mei gently patted Kiana's head and handed her a broom. "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest, right?"

Bronya didn't say much. After glancing indifferently at Kiana, she summoned Heavy Bunny and placed a towel on each of its arms. The bunny then began frantically rubbing the glass.

"Wow, that's incredibly efficient!" Kiana exclaimed in amazement as she watched the Heavy Bunny quickly clean the windows.

“Of course,” Bronya said calmly, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips. “This is a gift from Brother Chenyuan to Bronya, so this is nothing special.”

"That's really impressive!" Kiana's eyes lit up as she looked at Chen Yuan, tossing aside her broom and rushing over. "Chen Yuan, do you have any more robots for the little dwarf? Give me one!!!"

"Do you think this is some kind of cabbage? You think you can just have it whenever you want!" A tentacle shoved Kiana's large face aside. Several more tentacles emerged from her body, transforming into cleaning tools. "Go away and don't bother me!"

"Hmph, if you don't want it, then don't! Why are you being so fierce!" She picked up the broom from the ground, complaining, but her hands didn't stop moving. After all... she didn't want to sleep on the streets.

The group worked together and quickly tidied up Himeko's room. Although some corners still needed further cleaning, it was at least enough to provide everyone with a basic living environment.

"Hmm, not bad, at least it's habitable now." Chen Yuan looked around and nodded in satisfaction. "Although there are still many areas that need improvement, this is already a big step forward. Let's make do for tonight, and plan things out properly tomorrow."

"Ugh... I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted..." Kiana collapsed onto the sofa, but before she could even enjoy herself, Chen Yuan used his tentacles to pull her into the air.

"You're all dirty and you're lying on the sofa? Go take a shower!" With that, she turned and gave Raiden Mei and Bronya a look. The latter understood immediately and one of them grabbed Kiana's arm and dragged her into the bathroom.

"Mei!!! You betrayed me!!! I'm so tired right now, I don't want to take a shower!!!"

"Stop complaining, Kiana." Raiden Mei sighed helplessly, and together with Bronya, half-dragged, half-helped Kiana towards the bathroom. "Mr. Dust is right, a bath will make you feel much better."

“Bronya agrees with Mei-neechan,” Bronya chimed in. “Besides, that idiot Kiana’s body odor is too strong; it’ll affect Bronya’s nasal passages!”

"But...but I'm so tired..." Kiana struggled weakly, but was eventually pushed into the bathroom by the two of them.

"Honestly, none of them are easy to deal with." Chen Yuan looked at all this and shook his head slightly. "But it's good this way, at least it can let them relax a bit." Chen Yuan muttered to himself, then turned to look at Himeko and Theresa, who were busy. "You two go take a shower too, I'll prepare dinner later."

Theresa stopped what she was doing, looked up at Chen Yuan, and nodded slightly: "Alright, Himeko, you can come with me." She knew Himeko had drunk quite a bit and needed to be cleaned up.

Himeko rubbed her head and replied helplessly, "Okay, I really should take a shower." After saying that, she followed Theresa to another bathroom.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled, transformed into his true form, and slowly crawled into the kitchen to begin preparing dinner. "Let me see... Hmm... There seem to be enough ingredients, let's get started!"

Several tentacles skillfully wrapped around the kitchen utensils, chopping and stir-frying vegetables in one go, and soon an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

To be honest, I wasn't used to this body at first, but after getting used to it... it's damn useful. One person is a whole tool line, a natural working god body!

Meanwhile, the sounds of running water and laughter from the bathroom drifted over. Kiana, though initially reluctant to bathe, immediately cooperated when she learned that Raiden Mei was also joining in, and began to enjoy the hot water. The three chatted in the bathroom, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

About half an hour later, the three of them finished showering, changed into their St. Freya Academy uniforms, and walked out of the bathroom. After all, they had nothing else to wear except their uniforms, and even their underwear was temporarily worn by Theresa and Himeko.

By this time, Chen Yuan had already set out the food on the table. Several simple yet delicious dishes were laid out on the table, the steaming food emitting an enticing aroma.

"Has Mr. Chenyuan already prepared the meal?" Raiden Mei looked at the table full of food, somewhat surprised. "It seems to be all Chinese cuisine. Is Mr. Chenyuan from China?"

"This is also the first time Bronya has seen Brother Chenyuan cook..."

"Pretty much. Besides these, I don't know how to do anything else."

"Wow, it smells so good!" Kiana perked up immediately at the aroma of the food. She excitedly ran to the table, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to dig in. "My stomach's been rumbling for ages! I'm going to eat now!"

"Wait a minute." Because Kiana and the others had arrived at the restaurant, Chenyuan was able to transform back into a small person and slapped Kiana's hand away as she was about to do something evil.

"What's wrong, Chenyuan? I'm so hungry!!" Kiana rubbed her aching wrist and stared at Chenyuan with pleading eyes, as if she would burst into tears the next second if he didn't give her a reasonable explanation.

Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Don't rush, let's eat together after everyone is here. That's what makes it feel like family, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Kiana nodded, somewhat displeased, and obediently sat back down in her chair. A moment later, Theresa and Himeko also emerged from the bathroom, dressed in comfortable loungewear.

"Wow, Chenyuan, you actually cooked all the food!" Theresa saw the table full of dishes and couldn't wait to sit down. "I've only eaten this once before, it's really delicious, you guys should try it."

"It looks pretty good." Himeko walked to the dining table, looked at the dishes, then at Chenyuan, and held him in her hands. "He can cook, he's capable, and he's quite handsome. Apart from being a little young, isn't he a perfect man?"

"Go away, go play somewhere else." She jumped down from Himeko's grasp and then sat on Theresa's shoulder. "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's eat!"

"Yay!!" Kiana's eyes lit up instantly. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her eyes narrowing involuntarily. "Chenyuan, your cooking is so delicious!!!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and nodded: "That's good. Eat as much as you like, after all, you haven't had anything good to eat these past few days."

Theresa and Himeko also picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the food, praising it highly. Bronya and Raiden Mei politely took a few bites, but were soon drawn in by the delicious food and began to eat heartily.

'How wonderful…' Looking at the beautiful scene before him, Chen Yuan chuckled softly. 'If only things could stay like this forever… how wonderful that would be.'

After a while, Kiana slumped in her chair, rubbing her stomach repeatedly, her face showing discomfort. "I think I ate too much; my stomach hurts."

"How can I not feel uncomfortable? You ate so much food, and no one was going to take it from you." He rolled his eyes at Kiana, annoyed. He had originally prepared enough food for tomorrow morning, but Kiana had eaten it all by herself.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining." Chen Yuan sighed helplessly, extending a tentacle to gently pat Kiana's forehead. "You asked for this. Who told you to be so greedy?"

"Hmph, what can I do? It's been so long since I've had anything this delicious." Kiana muttered, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

"Alright, alright, get up and help clear the table. After you've digested a bit, go to bed early. We need to get up early tomorrow to buy some groceries."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Kiana reluctantly stood up and began helping to clear the table. "Okay, okay!" she muttered, but her movements were quick. Bronya and Raiden Mei also silently joined in the clearing.

After clearing the table, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. It was getting late, and everyone was feeling quite tired.

After Bronya and Raiden Mei helped Kiana make her bed, they went back to their respective rooms, leaving only Himeko and Theresa in the living room.

"Ahem, Himeko, you should go back to your room and rest. I have something to discuss with Chenyuan." After clearing her throat twice, Theresa said to Himeko somewhat apologetically.

The latter paused for a moment, then immediately gave an "I understand" look and left the restaurant step by step.
