Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Ember Club, Lounge

All the original members of the Ember team were present, including Chu Yunxiu, who had retired and rarely left her home.

"So alike, so incredibly alike..." Old Wei stroked his chin, marveling at the child in front of him. He instinctively wanted to lift the child's head for a closer look, but the child rolled his eyes and slapped his hand away: "This temperament, it's not quite like his mother's, more like hers..."

Old Wei, who had been hit, wasn't angry. He looked at his brothers, who were dumbfounded and had different expressions, and said, "Anyway, that's how it is. What do you guys think?"

Chu Yunxiu remained silent for a long time before nodding: "I think I believe what you said when you called me here... It really does look like it."

Fang Shijing, Fang Rui, and the other original members nodded in agreement, even Sun Zheping's face was full of approval.

Sitting on the cushion, Su Muqiu was stunned. Something wasn't right. When did Old Wei's words become unanimously approved? "What did that old devil say?!"

"You're just like your father, so rude." Old Wei rolled his eyes.

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment. What? Wait a minute...

Bai Shu looked at the boy in front of him, then at Qiu Fei, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"I..." Qiu Fei's expression was complicated. He originally thought that Lao Wei was just joking, but when he actually saw the child in front of him, he began to waver.

Lu Liang sat on the sofa: "No, Ye Xiu doesn't treat us like brothers either. Looking at this kid's age, Mu Cheng must have been pregnant by the time he retired, right? Hmm, that's not right. Knowing that guy's personality, he wouldn't forget to collect this gift money, would he?"

"Exactly, they kept saying they'd wait for Mu Cheng to retire... and Mu Cheng herself, she didn't even tell me this news." Chu Yunxiu frowned, somewhat unhappy.

"You...wait a minute, you guys think my parents aren't..." Su Muqiu's eyes widened. She stood on the table, looked around at her teammates who were all looking at her with loving expressions, and pointed at herself incredulously: "You guys think I'm Mu Cheng and Lao Ye's child?!"

"It seems this child has really suffered a lot of injustice. It's just that Ye Xiu is completely unsuitable for taking care of children..." Zhang Jiale sighed, "It's alright, you have so many powerful figures here, I'll definitely stand up for you. I'm your Uncle Zhang..."

Lin Jingyan smiled and placed the cookies on the table: "Are you hungry? Have some."

"No, I don't even... Xiao Wen, you, you have to think of something!" Su Muqiu pushed away the biscuit, sweating profusely. Seeing Li Wen calling in from outside, she felt like she had seen a savior and shouted.

【Where is it? 】

The familiar voice made Su Muqiu's face stiffen. If he had to say who he least wanted to know right now, it would be the person on the other end of the phone.

"Um, Sister Mu Cheng, this is the situation..." Li Wen didn't dare to meet Su Muqiu's gaze and subconsciously shifted his eyes to the side.

Chu Yunxiu snatched the phone away: "No, Mu Cheng, what's wrong with you? You've been keeping such a big thing from me? Where's that bastard Ye Xiu? He can't possibly not know about this, can he?!"

"[Me and...hiss, wait a minute, you guys wouldn't...]" Ye Xiu's voice rang out, he had obviously thought of that possibility as well.

"That's right!" Su Mucheng said, forcing back a laugh. "It's exactly what you're thinking!"

"How can you two be parents? How did you raise your child? How old are you to dye his hair?" Chu Yunxiu adopted the role of the aunt, and the others also gathered around to start denouncing him. Only Su Muqiu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Li Wen pondered for a moment, somewhat bewildered, then his eyes widened slightly: "Eh? Brother Mu... Brother Mu Qiu, they wouldn't mistake you for..."

"Shut up! Go explain yourself right now!" Su Muqiu shouted in a low voice.

This is the Christmas gift that Kong gave to Su Muqiu and Li Wen: a body completely forged from the Star Cup, carrying Su Muqiu's soul, and giving Su Muqiu a second chance at life through the power of another world.

However, due to Kong's wicked sense of humor, he was probably around four or five years old, and since he and Su Mucheng were siblings, they naturally looked alike, so it's no wonder that Yu Jin's group misunderstood...

Su Muqiu scratched his head in frustration and plopped down on the table. Damn it, what am I going to do now?!
“Actually, it’s pretty good…” Li Wen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them.

……

A few days later

A figure in orange, wearing a hat, rushed into the Ember Club and eagerly leaned on the front desk: "Um, I have a reservation! Can I come in?"

The receptionist was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening involuntarily: "You're Su Mucheng?!"

"Yes, yes, I'm Su Mucheng!" Su Mucheng smiled happily, "I'm here to pick up Muqiu too!"

"Don't go too far..." Ye Xiu followed along somewhat helplessly, "We're on the same side..."

"Ah, okay, okay." The receptionist quickly completed the registration information, checked the reservation record, and gave the two of them a temporary access card. Su Mucheng grabbed the card and ran towards the elevator with Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu looked at Su Mucheng, who was happy and expectant, and sighed helplessly.

Mu Qiu, brother, I really want to help you, but there's just no way.

Judging from the current situation, Su Muqiu is indeed at the best age to register his household registration. He is neither too old nor too young, and it is just right for him to be registered with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng.

If it really was the same age Mu Qiu was when he left, then getting his identity information would be really difficult...

However, that's all we can do...

"What do you think of this place?" As soon as Ye Xiu entered the Ember team's rest room, he saw a researcher in a white lab coat humbly asking a boy standing on a bench for advice.

“The error in this range is too large and the uncertainty is too high. If we use the second method, although the upper limit will be lower, the data results will be much more stable. Instead of gambling on a probability, it’s better to take a stable range and try out the results in three attempts, which will save a lot of time.” The boy’s voice was unusually firm.

"I understand, as expected..."

"If you say Ye Xiu is my father again, I'll have Xiao Wen fire you," Su Muqiu threatened with a dark face.

The researcher scratched his head awkwardly, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Su Mucheng peeking in through the door. He smiled and nodded to this woman, who, although retired, was still the goddess in the hearts of Glory players. Then he gave Ye Xiu a strange look, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The father-son relationship has deteriorated to this point; although Captain Ye is a good professional player, he is not a good father...

Ye Xiu stared blankly as the researcher shook his head and walked out, saying, "I feel like my reputation has been ruined." "Brother!" Mu Cheng ignored Ye Xiu, her eyes shining as she rushed forward and lifted little Su Muqiu up, exclaiming, "So cute! Was brother this cute when he was little?!"

Su Mucheng had never seen Su Muqiu like this before. After all, ever since she could remember, her brother had always been an omnipotent figure who took care of her like a brother and a father.

And this soft, cuddly boyish appearance...

But compared to Su Mucheng's joy, Su Muqiu's face remained dark: "I'm warning you, let me go right now... Hey, hey, hey! Old Ye, were you just watching from the sidelines?!"

"Ahem, after all, Mu Cheng is the older sister now, and you are the younger brother, so let her be," Ye Xiu said, barely suppressing a laugh.

"What?!" Su Muqiu's eyes widened. "I've become the younger brother?!"

"Yeah, the adoption paperwork is being processed. I just picked you up to go to B City to finalize it." Ye Xiu shrugged. "You probably don't want to be my son, do you?"

"I'm still happy to be your father!" Su Muqiu roared with a dark face.

"Stop dreaming." Ye Xiu chuckled and sat down, watching Su Muqiu being spun around and photographed by Su Mucheng. "I've already made all the arrangements over there. You'll still call yourself Su Muqiu. Just tell everyone... your two friends accidentally discovered that you look a lot like one of their friends, so they contacted Xiao Wen, who then got in touch with Mucheng. You're distant relatives, that's about it..."

"Isn't this a bit illogical?"

"What logic are you talking about in reality... Wait, Mu Cheng, what are you buying?"

"Buy clothes that are appropriate for your age! Hey! Brother, doesn't this lion mascot costume look like the artificial body you used to live with?"

"Looks like a ghost! And I haven't seen my ungrateful brother Xiao Wen for the past few days. So you two were keeping it from me, weren't you!"

“You always need an identity, right? Anyway, it’s easy to handle things with Ye Qiu, so why make Xiao Wen do favors for other people?” Ye Xiu smiled. “At the very least, you need an ID card to play Glory when you run away from home, right?”

Su Muqiu muttered something, but he knew there was no other way: "Fine, but I won't live with you guys anymore. Even though you're unreliable, Mu Cheng likes you... I'll come back after I'm done with this, and I can help them look after the kids."

Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng exchanged a glance; Su Muqiu saying such things was not unexpected to them.

"When do you plan to debut?" Ye Xiu suddenly asked with a smile.

"Me? I guess I'll wait until I'm twelve and my body has fully developed." Su Muqiu laughed, flexing his fingers. "Eat well, sleep well, and while you're at it, break that kid Lu Hanwen's record for the youngest professional player..."

Ah, from age twelve to twenty-four, he dominated Glory for twelve years, hahaha! He can still play in four more World Invitational Tournaments, no, maybe five…”

Su Muqiu smiled with great anticipation. This time, he could truly etch his name into the hall of glory!
Ye Xiu smiled. If it were Su Muqiu, then perhaps it really was possible...

……

One month later

"Xiaoxue, why don't you take your cough... Muqiu-ge with you to kindergarten..." Li Wen hesitated for a moment, then mumbled a name.

Even after Su Muqiu completed all the formalities, Ye Xiu still sent him back.

After all, Ye Xiu has his own work, and Su Mucheng follows him around every day. He can't just leave the child with his parents, can he?

Neither Ye Qiu nor I could stand that kind of education, so we shouldn't let our good brother suffer too.

Fortunately, we decided to send him to Li Wen's place. Old Wei's family still runs a kindergarten, so when he reaches the right age, he can go to school with the other children, which is fine...

Su Muqiu stared at Li Wen for a while before Li Wen looked away, somewhat embarrassed.

You little brat, Wen, you think you can be a generation older than me? Is there something wrong with your parenting? Why are all your younger siblings like this?

Su Muqiu turned to look at the soft and cute Li Xue: "I'm your Aunt Mu Cheng's...brother. You have to call me Uncle Su, okay? You're not allowed to call me brother, do you hear me?"

"I understand, brother." Li Xue nodded obediently.

"Honey, is everything ready?" Chu Xue walked out groggily and hugged Li Wen.

Su Muqiu's eyes widened: "Are your parents always like this at home?"

“Yes, Brother Muqiu.” Li Xue nodded.

No wonder Xiao Wen added all the points to his own activity area before, and I was so touched that I thought he was concerned about his older brother. I never expected this!

"Ahem, well, Sister Xue, I'll take them to school first. Breakfast is on the table, remember to eat." Li Wen said softly, then took Li Xue's hand, and Li Xue pulled Su Muqiu towards the kindergarten.

"Xiao Wen, let's talk this over. You don't really want me to start from kindergarten, do you?" Su Muqiu ran to the other side and tugged at Li Wen's sleeve.

“Not going to school isn’t being a good child, Brother Muqiu,” Li Xue earnestly corrected. “Dad says school is very interesting…”

“I…” Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Li Wen. Li Wen had a faint smile in his eyes. Although he had made up for the regrets of university, his childhood could not be considered complete either…

Perhaps that's why, even knowing the inside story, Xiao Wen still wanted to start her education from kindergarten...

Looking at his younger brother's expectant and joyful face, and then at his little niece's adorable face, Su Muqiu sighed. "Damn it, whatever," he thought, "I'll just consider it protecting my little cabbage from being snatched away by someone else from a young age..."

I've heard that kids these days mature very early. Xiaoxue and the others are so pretty and cute. Boys used to hate them, and I might get bullied...

Oh, right, especially that pig from the Sun family. He's been trying to act cold like his dad since he was little; we have to be careful. Luckily, that kid seems to like older girls and takes good care of the three little girls, but he's always clinging to that girl from the Wu family…

Pshaw, no, no, I'm in the prime of my life, why should I think about these things!

Su Muqiu shook his head, took a deep breath, and thought, "I am going to become the King of Glory, a man who will never be seen before or since! These trivial matters of love and affection are just too much of a hindrance!"
I'll loudly proclaim to Glory and the Professional League that I, Su Muqiu, am back again!
