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

"What's the point of saying all this? You're not a kid anymore, can't you be more mature?" He sighed, then gently patted Theresa's forehead: "Alright, let's put this behind us for today. Get some rest, we have a lot to do tomorrow."

Theresa nodded and closed her eyes. It's true that Theresa is quite carefree; even after what happened, she barely touched her pillow before soft snoring filled the air, chuckling softly, lost in some sweet dream.

'Still like a child~' Chen Yuan smiled as he looked at Theresa sleeping soundly, and gently shook his head. He closed his eyes and began to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains. Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, lazily stretched, and then transformed into his true form and crawled out of Theresa's room.

Just as Chen Yuan crawled out of the room, a hissing sound came from the kitchen, accompanied by the aroma of milk. When Chen Yuan crawled over, he found Raiden Mei wearing an apron and already preparing breakfast.

"Up so early, Mei? You could have slept a little longer." After completing the parasitism, Chenyuan transformed into a tiny figure and jumped onto Raiden Mei's shoulder. "I'll make breakfast."

"Ah! Mr. Chenyuan, you're awake?" Startled by Chenyuan's voice, she quickly regained her senses, turned to look at him, and then revealed a charming smile.

"It's alright, Mr. Chenyuan. You've done so much for us, I can handle these small matters."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Kiana and the others might cause a ruckus once they get up." With that, Chen Yuan extended several tentacles and wrapped them around the kitchen utensils. "With my help, things will be faster, won't they?"

Raiden Mei nodded upon hearing this. "Mr. Chenyuan is right, then I'll trouble you." She then skillfully wielded the spatula and began preparing to fry the eggs, while Chenyuan used his tentacles to chop vegetables and season the ingredients.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the kitchen. The sunlight streaming through the window added a warm and inviting atmosphere to the room. A short while later, Kiana and Bronya, rubbing their sleepy eyes, entered the kitchen one after the other.

"Wow, it smells so good! I was feeling a bit hungry!" Kiana took a deep breath as she entered the restaurant, a satisfied expression on her face. "Chenyuan, are you cooking again?"

"Yes, Mei is helping out too." Chen Yuan smiled after hearing this and pointed to Raiden Mei, who was frying eggs. "There are fried eggs, bread, and milk this morning. Go wash up and we'll be able to eat in a little while."

"Yay!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly, pulling Bronya along as they ran to the bathroom. "I'm so happy to have Mei's cooking again this morning!!!"

"Sigh, what an idiot..." Bronya glanced at Kiana speechlessly, then followed behind her, preparing to start washing up.

"Good morning, everyone. Hatch~" Not long after, Himeko came downstairs. Her hair was messy from just waking up, and she still looked a little sleepy.

"Good morning, Himeko-sensei." Raiden Mei greeted Himeko with a smile, her hands still busy. "Breakfast will be ready soon, just a little while."

"Okay, thank you Mei." Himeko rubbed her eyes, yawned, and sat down at the dining table. "I probably didn't sleep well last night; my head hurts a little."

"It shouldn't be related to whether you slept well or not. You probably drank too much last night," Chen Yuan said casually, then extended several tentacles and placed a glass of milk in front of Himeko. "The milk is almost warm now. Have a glass to warm your stomach."

"Oh, thank you!" Himeko took a small sip of milk, a satisfied expression on her face. Then she looked at the two people busy in the kitchen with a slightly mischievous expression. "If you didn't look at their figures, the two of you really do look like a married couple."

Raiden Mei blushed slightly at Himeko's teasing and lowered her head shyly. Not knowing how to respond to such a joke, she could only remain silent, but somehow, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

"Come on, that's not something a teacher should say." He chuckled lightly, then looked at Raiden Mei, whose face was flushed with embarrassment. "But you know what, whoever marries Mei is really incredibly lucky."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, the entire kitchen fell silent. Raiden Mei's face turned even redder, and the spatula in her hand clattered to the ground.

"Um... Mr. Chenyuan, you're joking, right?" Raiden Mei asked softly, her voice tinged with shyness.

"Of course not, I mean it from the bottom of my heart." Raiden Mei reached out her tentacle, picked up the shovel, wiped it clean, and handed it back to her. "Look, she's beautiful, has a good personality, can cook, and comes from a good family. She'd definitely be a national goddess if she were around."

Chen Yuan's words made the atmosphere in the kitchen somewhat subtle. Raiden Mei's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and joy.

She took the spatula from Chen Yuan and listlessly flipped the pan. She lowered her head, gently biting her lip, unsure how to respond.

Meanwhile, in Theresa's room, Theresa slowly opened her eyes, stretched like a cat while lying on the bed, and blushed slightly as she recalled what had happened yesterday.

After realizing that Chen Yuan was no longer beside her, Theresa carefully got out of bed and took out a few more books from the bedside table. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Yuan hadn't noticed them.

I, Theresa, didn't lie. I said I wouldn't read those books, and I won't. I have new ones! Those books are already worn out from being read so many times. I know all the contents by heart. I'm not afraid at all.

Theresa quietly hid the new book somewhere else, then left her room to wash up. As soon as she reached the living room, she saw a busy scene in the kitchen. The others were sitting at the table waiting for breakfast.

"Good morning, everyone." Theresa rubbed her eyes, yawned, and walked into the kitchen. "Chenyuan, you're up early."

“Who’s like you, such a lazybones?” Chen Yuan turned to look at Theresa and smiled slightly. “Breakfast will be ready soon, go wash up.”

"I'm not lazy, I'm very diligent, okay?" She pouted, nodded, and quickly walked towards the bathroom to start washing up.

A few minutes later, Theresa finished washing up and returned to the kitchen, where she saw the table already laden with all sorts of breakfast items: fried eggs, bread, milk, and several plates of fresh fruit, filling the entire kitchen with an enticing aroma.

"You're out? Then hurry up and sit down to eat, or it'll get cold." Chen Yuan waved to Theresa when he saw her come out, gesturing for her to eat quickly.

"Coming, coming!" Theresa quickly sat down and began to enjoy her delicious breakfast. Raiden Mei, still slightly blushing, poured milk for everyone and then started eating as well. As for Kiana... she had already finished showing off five pieces of bread.

"As expected of Mei, her fried eggs are absolutely delicious!" Kiana said with satisfaction after taking a bite of the fried egg. "It's just a little small; it's not enough."

"You think everyone eats like you?" He rolled his eyes at Kiana, then reached out a tentacle and pulled out another plate of fried eggs from the kitchen. "Here, I knew you weren't having enough, so I made a few extra for you."

"Chenyuan, you're so kind!" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she immediately reached for the fried egg on the plate, but Chenyuan gently patted her finger with his tentacle.

"A young lady like you should be mindful of her image." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly, wrapped the chopsticks with his tentacles, picked up a fried egg, and handed it to Kiana's plate. "The way you eat, it's like you've been starving for generations."

"What can I do? I've had too many days of eating one meal and going hungry." Kiana took the fried egg and happily ate it, completely disregarding her image. Seeing her like this, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of doting.

After finishing her breakfast, Theresa wiped her mouth and looked at the three little ones: "Speaking of which, we're going to buy some daily necessities today. Just tell me what you need, and I'll pay for it!"

"Hmm...snacks!" Kiana thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "I want lots and lots of snacks!"

“Bronya wants some books, preferably about mechanics,” Bronya added. “She also wants some games.”

Raiden Mei said softly, "I only need some daily necessities, thank you, Headmaster."

"Is that all? Don't be shy, just ask if you want anything." Theresa frowned, but seeing that the three little ones didn't respond, she turned her gaze to Chen Yuan. "Chen Yuan, do you think they need anything else?"

Hearing Theresa's question, Chenyuan thought for a moment and replied, "What else could there be? I don't need to say anything about daily necessities. As for shampoo and conditioner, let them choose for themselves."

"In addition, there are underwear and other clothes to change into. We can't just wear the same few school uniforms all year round, can we? Be careful, they're all beautiful girls."

"And bed sheets and duvet covers, decorations for the room, like teddy bears and homu toys. You know, you girls liked those things back then, didn't you..."

Chen Yuan became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and Ji Zi was completely stunned after hearing his words, staring at Chen Yuan in disbelief. This guy understood women better than she did; some of the things he said were things she herself didn't even know.

Bronya seemed unfazed and not particularly shocked. After all, when it came to preparing supplies, Chen Yuan had single-handedly transformed the Cocolia Orphanage.

As for Kiana, she couldn't listen anymore after only half of it; it was like gibberish to her. Raiden Mei, on the other hand, listened attentively, memorizing each of the items Chen Yuan mentioned.

"Stop talking, stop talking. When we get to the city, you can help Kiana and the others choose things." Seeing that Chen Yuan had no intention of shutting up, Theresa quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Even she didn't know that Chen Yuan knew so much about these things, since Otto had already prepared all of them when she was with Chen Yuan before.
