Obtuse
Shen Mian and He Xing entered through the back door of the classroom without passing by the window, so of course, he didn’t see the two little dragons in the classroom. He thought that Gian and Lu Yuan had already returned to the dormitory, so he kept his attention on He Xing when he entered.
Gian blankly looked at his dean.
Marshal He felt very guilty and took half a step back subconsciously. After thinking about it, he felt that he was not wrong and silently went back.
Shen Mian felt his expression gradually cracking- he never would have thought that he would publicise his relationship with He Xing so suddenly in front of the dragon cub.
Under Gian’s stunned expression was constant brainstorming. The little dragon cub, who was naturally not sensitive to such things, racked his brain and couldn’t figure out why the dean and Uncle He would be talking about marriage.
Facing Gian’s eyes, Shen Mian felt a headache coming: How should he explain it to Gian now?
Gian sniffed, stood up and walked over to Shen Mian.
Shen Mian knelt down to be level with the little dragon cub.
Gian took Shen Mian’s hand, looked around for a while and whispered, “Dean…”
The little dragon cub Gian hugged Shen Mian and buried his head into Shen Mian’s chest. “Dean, don’t abandon me even if you get married.”
Shen Mian’s eyes immediately softened and he gently stroked the little gem dragon’s big, round head. “I absolutely won’t.”
“I will always, always love Gian.”
Gian was quiet in Shen Mian’s arms for a moment, then withdrew embarrassedly, rubbing his eyes.
He Xing leaned over. “I’m not going to rob the dean from you… I like you guys while you’re with the dean.”
Gian vigorously shook his head. “That’s not it.”
It wasn’t that he was afraid that Uncle He would steal Dean from him, he was just a little afraid that Uncle He would have cuter dragon cubs around him and that Dean would slowly dislike him.
But the dean said he’d always like him.
Gian trusted his dean wholeheartedly and that worry soon disappeared under the reassuring presence of Shen Mian.
Gian took Shen Mian’s hand, then grabbed He Xing’s and then put them together, solemnly replying, “I respect the dean’s choice and I think Uncle He is a good dragon.”
Dean Shen, who was handed over by his own cub without knowing what was going on, “…”
He Xing was particularly touched and hugged Gian. “Dad really didn’t cherish you for nothing.”
Shen Mian, “???”
Lu Yuan stuck his head out and looked around. “So are the Dean and Uncle He really getting married? Will there be milk candies? Will there be a holiday? Dean, can I write two fewer copybooks?”
Shen Mian finally remembered- he and He Xing were just discussing how to quickly adopt the two dragon cubs, not talking about marriage. He was almost led astray by Gian.
Shen Mian very coldly broke Lu Yuan’s fantasy. “If I get married, I will mark your exam papers and copybooks at the wedding.”
Lu Yuan, “!!!”
He Xing slowly turned his head: This really is the Dean’s style.
Marshal He’s gaze passed the podium and he suddenly saw the slightly lighted quantum computer. He froze for a moment and tapped Shen Mian. “Shen Mian, is the live broadcast not off?”
Shen Mian, who originally came back to turn off the live broadcast, “…”
The live room had already exploded:
[Song of Rain: ???]
[Blue Tail: An officially recognised pair?]
[Crown Prince’s Dean: ?????? What? You kidnapped my dean just like that?]
[Document: The ID in front… are you a prophet?]
[Seventh Legion Super God: I’ll testify for Medal. He really didn’t think about it that much in the first place, he just wanted to put the male god he liked in his ID.]
[Does your throat hurt today?: I thought it was just those little fans messing around… I didn’t expect it to be true…]
[Honeysuckle: Asking upstairs for directions. Has there been an inkling of this pair before?]
[Xue Lulu: Just search for ‘fall fast asleep without waking up’1 on Cat Eye’s video channel.]
A few of the people in the live broadcast had no time to pay attention to them for the time being, so some fans quietly clicked into the video area, typed ‘fall fast asleep without waking up’ in the search box and a bunch of related videos immediately popped up underneath.
Clicking on one of the most popular videos, the screen went black, followed by a light and sweet soundtrack that made viewers want to fall in love at first listen.
The screen quickly lit up and after a row of viewing warnings, the video officially began.
The first act of the opening was the scene where the small golden dragon cub fluttered into Shen Mian’s palm along with the music, accompanied by lyrics that were too funny for the audience while giving them goosebumps.
“It’s so funny to see two fierce alpha-like dudes show up underneath a soundtrack of “I want to fall in love” hahahahahahaha.”
“Honestly, I feel like if the background music changed, they’re going to fight.”
“En… I’m super curious as to who is the better fighter, the Dean or His Highness.”
So that night, the topic of #Who’s stronger and who’s weaker, the Empire’s sword or the Childcare Centre’s sword# appeared on the hot search. His Highness, the Crown Prince, who got up in the middle of the night to go on Reader to secretly eat food: ???
What? Why would I want to hit my lover?
Why are you calling him the Childcare Centre’s sword? The dean will dislike you.
……
Although Gian was comforted by Dean Shen, when he returned to his own dormitory, the little dragon cub still had a heavy expression- how would he tell the other cubs about Uncle He and Dean being together?
The more Gian thought about it, the more frustrated he felt- he used to always stick to the dean and now he thought about how sorry he was for not letting Uncle He and the dean get along.
Filled with guilt, Gian decided to speak to Xing Fei and the others tonight to give the dean and Uncle He more space to get along.
After eight o’clock, all the little dragon cubs took their baths, and Shen Mian and He Xing also returned to the dormitory.
Gian dragged Qin Yi and Xing Fei, who were returning to their dormitory, and motioned for the little dragon cubs to sit down.
Qin Yi hugged Xing Fei’s big tail and slumped on the carpet.
Lu Yuan wrote two copybooks, already feeling like a small useless dragon, and spread both paws in front of Gian, hoping Gian would squish his paws for him.
Rhein, who had deliberately stayed overnight at the centre tonight, sat on his little bed and blinked. “Are we having a meeting?”
Gian cleared his throat. “Actually, I have something to say today.”
The little dragon cubs sat up straighter as they looked at his serious expression and became equally serious.
Gian, “You must not panic.”
The little dragon cubs nodded. “Uh-huh.”
Gian, “The dean… and Uncle He, are together.”
The little dragon cubs blinked.
Gian thought they were scared and was about to explain, but Xing Fei was already helplessly holding her face. “Brother, we already knew about it.”
Gian: !!

The work He Xing out in during to competition came through and they forgot about the livestream 😂😂 poor Gian broadcasting his denseness to the other cubs. At least they now know and so could help him with his potential love life in the future? Thank you for the chapter ❤️
