Wen Mingyu had lectures at the Imperial College the subsequent day. Due to a scheduling conflict, Wen Mingyu could no longer transform into a rabbit and hide in Mu Zhan’s sleeve pocket as they headed to court together.
Mu Zhan was consequently in a fairly terrible mood.
But allowing someone to attend Imperial College was his own choice. Even though he had previously given it some thought, when it came down to it, the unhappiness in his heart remained overwhelming. He only desired to keep Wen Mingyu tethered to him, to have him wherever he moved, and to keep him in his sight all the time.
However, Mu Zhan decided against doing so in the end.
The caged canary, still with its lovely warbling cry, would pass away from depression. Being unable to display its brilliance in the open was cruel.
Therefore, Mu Zhan could only keep his mouth shut while processing this emotion by himself. Whenever he heard that Wen Mingyu was departing, he often wore a very disgruntled look on his face.
Wen Mingyu bathed, got dressed, and put on a light-green uniform. This appearance, like that of a mischievous little scholar, was quite appealing. When Mu Zhan looked at it, he wanted to squeeze his face and do things.
Yet Mu Zhan couldn’t be delighted anymore when he thought that he had only changed his clothes for the purpose of leaving.
Hence, when Wen Mingyu was attentively inspecting his appearance and adjusting his clothing, Mu Zhan suddenly reached out, put his hand against the top of his head, and with one thrust, utterly crushed his cap.
Although he couldn’t see it, by raising his hand over his head, he had discovered the issue. He glared at Mu Zhan as if he were a large, unruly scoundrel who was causing mayhem in the house and feasting on everything.
“Your Majesty…”
As he removed his cap and set it right, Wen Mingyu’s eyes took on a little sullen tone.
And Mu Zhan didn’t think he had done anything improper at all. On the other hand, he automatically stroked Wen Mingyu’s head upon seeing his soft, pitch-black hair.
Finally, there were no more obnoxious caps in the way.
Mu Zhan cocked an eyebrow in mild appreciation.
Wen Mingyu inclined his head and stared at him. He refrained a bit longer before tearing Mu Zhan’s hand off. He was totally perplexed as to why Mu Zhan enjoyed touching his head so much.

Wen Mingyu laughed curtly as he attempted to defend himself fairly poorly, because he had often snuck back to sleep in Mu Zhan’s sleeve pocket before. “… After all, arriving late is never a good thing, and I, too, wished to spend time with Your Majesty.”
Mu Zhan seemed to accept this reason unwillingly. “Let’s go,” he replied, his expression softening a little.
After a period of walking together, the two parted ways so that one could go to court and the other could go to school.
When Wen Mingyu arrived at Imperial College and headed to the hall he had been in yesterday, the new students had already been distributed to the rooms they were assigned to.
He just didn’t anticipate having a minor mishap before entering the room.
As he walked past, he heard a strange bit of movement. After unconsciously gazing up after the sound, he found a figure suddenly appearing above the wall. The figure then deftly grasped on to the eaves and sprang down.
The man had big eyes, bushy brows, and a tall, lean build. He was dressed in light-green clothing as well. Only his clothes were a little bit tousled from scaling over the wall, and with the action he had just done, he had the appearance of an unruly student.
As soon as he descended, he bumped into someone. The man, not expecting the other, changed his face and said, “Don’t tell anyone, yeah?”
Naturally, Wen Mingyu would not be so idle and immediately stated, “I didn’t see anything.”
“Up the road!” The man chortled a little, moved two steps closer, and frankly patted Wen Mingyu on the shoulder heartily. “Are you new around here? I’m Ye Xu, and your senior as well. I am fully familiar with this place, and I am knowledgeable of the greatest places to eat, the strictest teachers, the friendliest ones, and the best walls to scale. I am an expert at this. Do you want me to impart my wisdom to you?”
Before he could continue, someone intervened to stop him. “Don’t touch the young master.”
Ye Xu arched an eyebrow. “Your attendant? What a temper. What’s so bad about a touch?”
He then displayed extreme rebelliousness by placing his arm around Wen Mingyu’s shoulders with a face that asked, ‘What can you do to me’.
The attendant’s face changed. With His Majesty’s directive in effect, he no longer worried about offending anyone. He lunged directly, grabbed Ye Xu’s arm, and hurled it away.
In the center was Wen Mingyu. He also minded being approached by strangers too closely, so he avoided a bit while the attendant took off his strength. However, Ye Xu was still forced back two steps. Sensing the strength of the servant’s protection, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah, so fierce!—your master is not a porcelain that will be shattered if touched.”
Wen Mingyu wanted to speak up, but Ye Xu, who had a unique personality, didn’t mind at all. Rather, he animatedly said, “You have such rapid reflexes; you have practiced, haven’t you? Do you know somebody who is like you? I would love to have an attendant like that as well.”
Wen Mingyu’s attendant: “…”
Behind Ye Xu, his attendant: “…”
Unsurprisingly, Ye Xu was turned down in the end. As the bell rang to signal the start of class, they ceased their idle chatter and hurried to their classroom.
Wen Mingyu immediately hastened, and Ye Xu followed closely. The two then entered the same room.
“Aren’t you a senior?”
“Oh, I forgot to mention that I failed the exam and had to repeat a grade.”
Ye Xu had a direct and debonair attitude that was not at all repeater-like. He didn’t give it much thought.
He was amazed as he looked inside. “So there’s really a girl. I thought it was a groundless rumor. Is that a kid next to her? He should be at least nine years old, and he’s already enrolled in Imperial College? This year’s admission is really amazing. Oh, there’s just one writing desk. We’ll have to sit together.”
He rambled on with a meeting of his lips, dragged Wen Mingyu over to the writing desk, and promptly sat down.
Glancing around, Wen Mingyu found that the people seated nearby were all familiar faces. Shao Yan was in front of him, and Chu Suli and Wei Chen were seated across the aisle.
Ye Xu greeted them familiarly and got to know one another. Because it was their first encounter, they were a little reserved and only exchanged names.
The teacher then entered the classroom and started the session.
Although he had previously received lectures from teachers, being taught alone and in a class full of students was undoubtedly different from the former. Wen Mingyu thought the ambiance was pretty pleasant. Surrounded by impressive individuals, he couldn’t help but be invisibly propelled onward.
Shao Yan had a cold expression on his face, and when he spoke, his reasoning was clear and in great depth.
Chu Suli was conscientious. When the teacher posed a question, she would take the initiative to raise her hand and respond, and she was always on point.
Wei Chen, on the other hand, watched the teacher intently and raised his finger whenever the other party committed an error or missed something.
Each one was outstanding and just served to make one sigh with emotions, giving the feeling that there were mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.
After Wen Mingyu was asked a question, he suddenly detected a faint movement coming from his side. Inclining his head, he discovered Ye Xu using his sleeve to cover something up. The man was eating dried meat covertly and paying no attention at all to the lecture.
… suddenly understood a bit why he had repeated a grade.
Yet Ye Xu was not guilty. He sensed his gaze and gladly divided the dried meat while lowering his voice and asking, “Want one?”
It seemed that in his previous life, he had witnessed other classmates sharing and eating spicy strips in the class.
After a period of silence, Wen Mingyu, who couldn’t resist temptation, nodded and accepted it. Then, following Ye Xu’s cue, when the teacher turned his head, he put the dried meat into his mouth.
Ye Xu laughed and grinned.
“Ye Xu, come and answer,” called the teacher.
Ye Xu’s grin dwindled. He was unable to smile any longer.
The teacher noticed that he was not paying attention and purposefully asked a challenging question. Ye Xu was unable to respond, his mouth still full of dried meat. He naturally remained silent and merely shook his head, and he was rightly reprimanded for this.
He behaved well the next time.
ChiFu: hnngg, I got the wrong pinyin for the Hall of the Supreme Principle aka Taiji Hall! It’s not Tai Chi, it should have been Taiji Hall… dang. I just noticed how off it sounds… well, I’ve already edited it! as for the titles of our Rabbit Cub, it’s still on-hold but rest assure I will polish whole tefico more to my liking!
This week’s update! I’m going to be busy after this, but I’m hoping to reach 50 chapters at the end of the month~ Everyone, let’s yahoo~
Aww Mu Zhan recognizes that it’s his own decision (for Wen Mingyu’s well-being) making him lonely and restrains himself to mild hat-crushing. I feel like Wei Yingwu is going to offer him a replacement bunny to hold during morning court 😆. Speaking of the big lug, the new student reminds me of him just a little bit.
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Oh no, bye bye little rabbit. For a while. I hope so.
The baby is cute again, our Mu Zhan is being…. dare i say (very) considerate? My heart is soft
