“Warning! Due to an external force, you are to return; please be ready.”
Yu Xingqiao, who was hugging the little black ball, was still recalling the Grand Elder’s words just now, wondering what kind of setting this was when he heard the emotionless system voice ring out.
“What’s going on? Why are we suddenly going back?”
He asked, slightly dissatisfied.
However, the system did not answer him and repeated the same sentences again.
Yu Xingqiao was helpless, he hadn’t had enough hugs from the cub yet! Why did he have to go back again so soon?
However, the system didn’t give him time to protest as he saw his body starting to fade, just like last time.
He knew that when his body started to shatter into specks of light, he would be gone for good.
This process didn’t feel like much, but watching your own body slowly breaking apart and disappearing was actually a pretty magical experience.
As if sensing that he was going to leave, the cub struggled to turn around and look at him.
His black little face had no visible features at all, but from the sounds of his cries, he sounded very anxious.
A bubble popped up above his head, but the translation that came out was a bunch of rubbish codes. It was unsure if it was because he was about to teleport back that the system lagged or that the few sounds didn’t have any specific meaning to it.
Yu Xingqiao could hear the cub’s anxiety.
His heart softened and, before he had completely disappeared, seized his chance to fulfil his wish of patting the cub’s head.
Soft and bouncy.
“Little brat, I’ll see you again in the future. You must continue to be a good boy……”
His voice drifted away into the void as his entire figure turned into a ball of light and disappeared completely.
Yu Xingqiao opened his eyes again.
Before him was the familiar ceiling of the sterile room, but this time, he no longer mistook what had just happened as a dream.
“What did you dream of that made you so happy?”
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.
Yu Xingqiao turned his head and saw two tall figures standing by the bed.
Lf yilcxfv jcv abbx yjmx atf rwlif bc tlr ilqr.
“Gjv, uf.”

Yu Xingqiao’s heart skipped a beat.
But the phone screen was dark, so they probably didn’t see him travel into the game.
Father Yu rubbed the top of his hair, smiling as he sat down beside his bed, “Qiaoqiao is looking a lot better lately. Not bad. Not bad.”
The man in a protective suit dropped his imposing and dominating aura he used when facing his eldest son. Behind the glass cover was a smiling face with wrinkles, showing a rare display of kindness and warmth.
Yu Ting carried a tray and gently placed it on the table at the end of the bed, which held his younger brother’s dinner: a strawberry milk flavoured nutritional solution.
“Were you tired this afternoon?”
Because he usually went to bed so early at night, Yu Xingqiao rarely slept during the day. Moreover, as an internet addict, he simply wished he could stay online 24/7.
But, surprisingly, he had slept twice today?
Yu Ting recalled the nurse lady’s report today and looked at him with some concern.
“Ah, well ……”
Yu Xingqiao felt a little guilty from being stared at. He had always been a good boy and rarely hid things from his brother. Having to now keep the system and cub a secret was actually a little difficult for him.
He could only nod ambiguously, but his eyes were fixed on the phone his dad was holding.
“If you are tired from playing online games, just take a nap. Why are you so serious about it?”
Father Yu glared at his eldest son and then changed into a smiling face when he looked at his younger son.
“Qiaoqiao must be hungry, right? Have something to eat first.”
He said as he brought the nutrition solution to him.
Yu Xingqiao could only take it, biting on the straw as he took a sip.
It still tasted the same and didn’t taste much better.
He tilted his head up to look at his father. This man actually rarely visited him; the one who always took care of him was his brother, Yu Ting.
But to say that his dad didn’t love him, he actually didn’t feel that way either.
It was probably because his dad …… hated his illness.
So out of guilt, every time he came to see him, his dad would do his best to be nice to him, to the point that he didn’t know what to do. However, if he were to wait for him to get out of this ward, he would have to wait a long long time.
When he was younger, Yu Xingqiao would still feel sad, but he slowly got over it.
Anyway, he won’t live long so keeping a distant relationship would be better. This way, when he leaves, his dad wouldn’t be so sad.
“Looks like you’ve been using this phone for a while? A new model has recently been released, why don’t daddy give you a new one?”
Yu Xingqiao’s heart thudded a little.
He knew it!
“No need, I’m fine with it.”
What if the Miracle Cub app disappeared, when he changed his phone? He definitely must not change it!
“You sure?”
“Yes!”
“Okay then ……” Father Yu placed his phone down with some disappointment..
“Dad, is there something for you to drop by today?” Yu Xingqiao directly asked.
“Can’t I come over to see you when there’s nothing on?”
The man showed a serious face.
Yu Xingqiao smiled gently, his pretty pair of eyes smiled into crescents, “No, Dad can come to see me anytime.”
Yu Ting stood aside, looking at the father and son through the protective mask, and sighed slightly.
Father Yu thus gave up and said with a smile, “The day after tomorrow is your birthday, dad wanted to give you a surprise. But who knew your brother took it upon himself to tell you.”
Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but be stunned, what was being said ……
“The night after tomorrow, daddy has thrown a birthday party for you. Qiaoqiao can’t have a tantrum and say he won’t come oh.”
Yu Xingqiao blinked his eyes.
The dinner party ah……
His heart’s first reaction was to resist a little, but then he remembered that a month ago, he had already promised his brother —— If they really wanted him to attend the birthday party, he would attend.
Yu Xingqiao sighed in his heart. Actually, he wanted to play the game more than attend the party.
But looking at his father, who could only come to see him on a rare occasion, and then at his brother, who was standing at the side, he nodded and agreed.
When Father Yu saw him agree, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Through the protective suit, his laugh sounded muffled but was unexpectedly carefree.
He opened his arms and brought the boy into his arms, patting his thin shoulders gently.
Yu Xingqiao leaned into his father’s arms, thinking—— separated by the protective suit, it was cold. As expected, it was not as warm and soft as the cub.
Father Yu gave him an awkward hug before carefully releasing him.
“I heard from the nurse lady that you’ve been playing a new game lately? Named Goat Boy or what?”
Yu Xingqiao paused and hesitantly nodded his head.

Tofu: Sorry for the late chapter. Crew has been busy with rl… Might drop translating or go on a hiatus… Let me know if anyone wants to pick this novel up else I will continue translating when I’m free… I’ve decided to continue translating and see how it goes. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Hey Tofu thank you for the chapter. If you and the crew need to go on hiatus that’s totally fine.
Thanks for the update ❤️
Wait, this is a good chance! Tell your dad about the game (without mentioning the supernatural stuff ofc XD) and use this chance to get tons of moolah to fund more cub-patting sessions!! I’m sure Father Yu would be like “Aw my baby likes this game, here’s (insert absurd amount) of kyrptonite~”
Thank you for the chapter! <3
