Lu Mo never imagined that there would be a day like this when he chose to pursue a career in translation.
Back then, as he watched his mentor’s rapidly thinning hair…
And then he looked at his classmates, confidently answering questions when called upon, their expressions full of confidence, but their answers completely absurd.
One could say it was extremely sloppy.
In their extreme sloppiness, there was a hint of subtle provocation.
Every time this happened, his mentor would sigh deeply, looking at a strand of hair falling from his head, and Lu Mo’s determination grew stronger.
He would never become a babysitter for a group of foolish young boys in college.
And now he was in a hotel, working as a babysitter for two alien cubs.
What is this all about?
After a magical day, Lu Mo had originally planned to call Xu Wendong, who was lying at home with a broken body.
“Damn it, Lu Mo!! I heard from the mentor that you were the only one who could translate this. Are you kidding me?”
Listening to Xu Wendong’s overly excited voice, Lu Mo casually replied, “Just a coincidence.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, luckily you went, luckily I didn’t go, luckily I broke my bones!!”
Lu Mo raised an eyebrow, “Did you damage your brain? I suggest you lie down for a few more days.”
“…Don’t you have any special reaction?” Xu Wendong exclaimed dramatically. “Do you know who else went? Just randomly pick one, and their reputation would crush you! But only you were able to translate it! Damn it, just thinking about it, I’m excited. Do you know how highly the mentor thinks of you—”
Lu Mo: “Oh.”
“…”
Lu Mo: “It’s fine, I’m busy. I’ll hang up now.”
“Oh, oh, oh, you go ahead with your work! I won’t disturb you.” Xu Wendong laughed mischievously and hung up the phone. “Goodbye!”
Lu Mo ended the call. He was standing on the balcony while making the call, and he could hear the sounds from the room through the balcony door.
Lu Qianshan was shouting loudly, [The Lord of the Abyss never takes off his clothes! You can’t touch my clothes! Not even the cloak… no, not even the cloak!]
Lu Huaming’s voice sounded cold with a hint of disdain, [Then sleep on the floor.]
Lu Qianshan snorted, [How can I change my mind just because of your little threat?]
Lu Huaming said, [I hope you can always uphold your beliefs, my dear brother.]
Lu Mo opened the door and saw Lu Qianshan tightly wrapped in his cloak, leaning against the wall, stubbornly standing his ground.
Lu Huaming held two sets of bear pajamas in his hands, gradually approaching.
[Don’t come any closer!] Lu Qianshan shouted.
Then Lu Mo looked at the silver-haired man who was supposed to solve all the problems—
He was half-leaning on the soft sofa, legs crossed, his gaze floating aimlessly in the air, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

He nodded to Ling as a sign and said, [Well, I’ll go back and rest.]
[Thank you for today,]the man’s voice was slightly hoarse, with a touch of tension.

Indeed, it was because he was in the room that the man had been on guard all along.
…Lu Mo thought that even if there were ten of him, he probably wouldn’t stand a chance against the man. Why was he so nervous?
Lu Mo could only categorize this as the man not being accustomed to being in the same room with others.
Tsk, alien.
Lu Mo opened the door and was about to step out when he heard Lu Huaming calling his name.
“Papa, where are you going?” Lu Mo paused and saw Lu Huaming holding the pajamas, with Lu Qianshan beside him, both children looking at him expectantly.
Two pairs of eyes, one red and one green, were shining.
“I…” Lu Mo instinctively said, “It’s nothing, I wasn’t planning to go anywhere.”
Uh-oh.
Lu Mo had a bad feeling, but the two children burst into a low cheer, putting him in a difficult position.
Then he looked at the man, and sure enough, the relaxed line of his lips instantly stiffened again.
His long and dense eyelashes drooped, concealing the thoughts in his eyes. But the slightly unnatural joints of his fingers completely exposed his inner anxiety.
Lu Mo closed the door again, cleared his throat, and said, “Do you know how to wear these clothes?”
Lu Huaming slightly lifted his chin, as if he was going to nod.
But halfway through this seemingly confident gesture, it suddenly froze, like a rusty robot.
“Do you know?” Lu Mo asked.
Lu Huaming’s expression froze, and he decisively shook his head, “I… I don’t know…”
Lu Mo didn’t doubt him and walked towards Lu Huaming. He picked up the pajamas and said softly, “I’ll teach you.”
Lu Huaming lowered his head, quietly nodding.
If Lu Mo squatted down at this moment and looked into Lu Huaming’s eyes, he would have noticed that there seemed to be small flowers blooming in his eyes.
And as for Lu Qianshan, his eyes widened in a dazed manner.
Lu Mo: “Raise your hand, raise both hands above your head.”
“Lift your chin a little.”
He skillfully directed Lu Huaming, and the child obediently followed his instructions, speaking and moving in unison.
Lu Mo lowered his head and fumbled with the pajamas, trying to figure out the front, back, left, and right. Lu Huaming stood beside him, waiting for Lu Mo’s next move.
After a while, Lu Mo finally figured out the structure of the pajamas.
He said to Lu Huaming, “Extend your hand.”
Lu Huaming raised his hand in a “sun salutation” pose. Lu Mo’s lips quickly curled up, and Lu Huaming didn’t miss his smile. Although his little face still maintained a calm and elegant demeanor, his emerald green eyes became sparkling.
Lu Mo put the pajamas on him. The fluffy hood had two round brown ears, and Lu Huaming subconsciously raised his hand to touch it.
He tugged at his ear.
He looked almost seven parts similar to that silver-haired man, like a shrunken version of him.
Looking at Lu Huaming, one could accidentally be fooled into thinking that the man himself was standing there.
Lu Huaming tugged at his ear, blushing as he said, “Thank you, Papa.”
Lu Mo quickly snapped out of irrelevant fantasies and said, “It looks good on you, suits you.”
As Lu Huaming looked at the slight smile on Lu Mo’s face, he couldn’t help but tighten his hood even more.
Hmm… he should remember to bring this clothing back to the Imperial Star when he returns.
Quietly, he made a note of this in the journal of his heart.
However, Lu Mo felt the back of his clothes being gently pulled.
He turned his head and saw Lu Qianshan, with black hair and red eyes, looking up at him silently.
Lu Mo asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Qianshan whispered a sentence, but Lu Mo didn’t catch it. He slightly leaned down and asked, “What?”
Lu Qianshan said, “Papa, I don’t know how to wear it either.”
Lu Mo raised an eyebrow and said, “The Lord of the Abyss never takes off his clothes.”
“Yes, but…” Lu Qianshan quickly found a reason. “But the wise Lord of the Abyss knows how to use rest time to replenish energy and keep oneself in the best condition.”
He proudly lifted his chin and said, “This is necessary recuperation. The Lord of the Abyss has grand goals!”
“Alright, my dear little Lord.” Lu Mo picked up another set of pajamas, identical to the one Lu Huaming was wearing, except this one was brown instead of black.
Seeing his actions, Lu Qianshan struggled to maintain a calm appearance, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.
The clothes on Lu Qianshan were much more complex than his brother’s, with various buttons and fasteners all over the place. Lu Mo had to half-squat to untangle them.
While doing all this, he could always feel a deep gaze fixed on his back.
In this room, there was only the silver-haired man left behind him.
Lu Mo found a moment and suddenly turned his head, but he didn’t catch anything.
The man lowered his head, his elbows resting on the armrest, his palm with a white glove supporting his chin, while the other hand was on his knee, rhythmically tapping in some pattern.
Lu Mo: “…”
Since being caught once during the day, he could no longer catch the man in the act.
His vigilance was truly strong.
But after he turned his head back, that gaze immediately returned.
Lu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Look!!
You can look all you want!!
He instantly stood up from the ground, but he exerted too much force and couldn’t maintain his balance, swaying backward.
To maintain balance, his body subconsciously took a few steps backward. But for some reason, he stepped on something, and his entire body fell backward—
Time seemed to stretch.
Lu Mo clearly saw Lu Huaming and Lu Qianshan’s slowly widening eyes, and they reached out their hands towards him—
Then his line of sight went beyond their heads, and Lu Mo saw the ceiling above him. Even at this moment, he could clearly see the patterns on it.
Finally, his eyes met a pair of dazzling eyes, as bright as pigeon blood rubies.
“Thump, thump.”
“Thump, thump.”
Lu Mo seemed to smell a strange scent, like the smell of blood and rust.
He half-lay in the man’s arms, enveloped by this scent.
Those red eyes seemed to contain a huge whirlpool, drawing him in, almost causing him to be forever submerged.
“…”
“…”
Those eyes came closer and closer, and Lu Mo murmured, “You…”
Are you…
Just before they were about to make contact, the man suddenly pulled away.
He stood up from the chair, and Lu Mo sat on the ground, watching his departing figure.
The man rushed into the bathroom and forcefully closed the door.
After a moment, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Lu Mo couldn’t help but frown.
Was it necessary??? Did he hate him to this extent? Just because they made slight contact, he had to go and take a shower?
Damn.
