Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Her words were rejected once again, and Gretchen puffed out her cheeks adorably.

Her little brain worked quickly, and soon, Gretchen's eyes lit up as she thought of something. Then she looked at him expectantly and said, "In that case, may I call you Mr. Knight?"

"Hmm? Why are you called Mr. Knight?"

"Because, because... in stories, knights are always the heroines of young girls. I want to come here to learn how to draw comics. My parents only agreed to let me come after they heard that you were willing to help. Since my parents are willing to believe in you, I will believe in you too."

Her voice was soft, and Gretchen was clearly a little embarrassed.

"So, Gretchen thinks I've become your knight in shining armor?"

Upon hearing this, the little blue head nodded rapidly.

Seeing this adorable appearance, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile.

Come to think of it, Gretchen's personality is completely different from what he imagined. But then again, there's no doubt about it. This place isn't in chaos, and Gretchen's parents are still alive. How could she possibly become like that autistic child?

"I really have to thank my father-in-law and... cough cough, my uncle and aunt for their help," he said with a smile, extending his hand to Gretchen and speaking gently, "So, 'Princess,' would you like to go and see where you'll be staying from now on?"

"No, don't use that kind of language, it's too embarrassing to say it in public..."

Of course, the main reason is that we're not very familiar with each other.

She quickly slipped her small hand into those warm, large hands, and watched as the knight pulled on his suitcase with his other hand. Soon, the two of them disappeared into the crowd, vanishing without a trace.

Chapter 154 Gretsch is deeply shocked!

The person has been received.

After returning home, Nangong Yu tapped the screen and sent messages to Cocolia, also sending a photo of himself and Gretchen that they had just taken together.

On the other side, Cocolia opened the photo and saw the gentle-smiling boy and the cute little girl with delicate features and a slightly reserved expression beside him.

A smile first appeared on his face, but he quickly paused, then frowned slightly and typed.

Gretchen is still young; you can't make mistakes.

After finishing her task, Nangong Yu, who had planned to rest for a while, was immediately speechless upon seeing this.

Even if he likes pretty girls, he shouldn't be this desperate. Gretchen is only fourteen years old. He didn't do anything to Seele when she was fourteen, let alone Gretchen.

Has my credibility really gotten that low?

I believe you; this was just a well-intentioned reminder.

What a well-intentioned reminder! If you don't believe me, you might as well just say so!

After closing the chat, Nangong Yu decided not to argue with this woman who was twelve years older than him.

Just then, a weak cry for help came from behind him.

"Help, help me, Sir Knight..."

Sitting on the sofa, Gretchen was squeezed between Ellie and Kiana.

When they arrived home, seeing the adorable Gretchen next to Yu, Airi and Kiana, who were chatting in the living room, immediately rushed over.

After a brief introduction, he needed to contact Cocolia, so he asked the two of them to take Gretchen to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

The result, naturally, was that they were like lambs to the slaughter.

"Gresh is so cute, let me hug her~"

"Me too!"

Without saying a word, the two of them grabbed one of her sides, squeezing the weak, pitiful, and helpless Gretchen in the middle. The soft flesh pressed against her face on both sides caused her deep emotional distress.

Finally, she couldn't help but call out to the knight who was not far away for help.

Turning around and looking at the scene on the sofa, Nangong Yu almost couldn't help but laugh.

If Gretchen were replaced with a young boy, this scene would be a classic composition in the world of doujinshi (fan-made comics). If Airi were holding a PS5, it would look even more like the character.

Waving her PS5, she whispered enticingly, "Little brother, I have some good stuff at home, want to come over and play?"

However, seeing Gretchen's pitiful appearance, Nangong Yu decided it would be better to lend a hand.

Although the child is lively, it's true that he is somewhat shy.

"Alright, alright, Gretchen just arrived, don't scare her."

Pulling Gretsch away from the two of them, she immediately ran behind him, clutching the hem of his clothes and carefully watching Alice and Kiana, who looked on with regret.

"Huh? How stingy! We just wanted to chat with Gretsch!"

Kiana complained unhappily.

"That's right, that's right! Ah Yu is so mean, you can't have Gretsch all to yourself!"

Ellie also joined in the protest.

"Protests are futile."

He raised his hand and gently tapped each of them on the head, first looking at Kiana and saying, "Kiana, have you finished your vocal homework?"

"Ugh... Seriously, why did you have to do homework? It's so boring!"

Upon hearing about the homework, Kiana's face immediately fell, and she looked at him with resentment.

So, it hasn't been done yet?

"...You didn't do it..., did you?"

"Okay, it seems like it's time to contact your vocal teacher."

Seeing Nangong Yu take out her phone, Kiana panicked. She quickly pressed down Nangong Yu's hand and said with an awkward smile, "Well, I'll do it now, I'll go now, so don't bother the teacher."

After saying that, Kiana dashed back to her room.

It wasn't until she sat down in the chair that she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why does it feel like Ah Yu is her elder? That's strange. Shouldn't she be her sister-in-law? Why is she afraid of him?

living room.

Nangong Yu turned her gaze to Aili, who immediately put her hands on her hips triumphantly: "Hmph, I've finished all the homework Eden gave me, you know, Ayu should know that, after all..."

Ellie bit her lip, her watery eyes welling up with tears: "That assignment, Ah Yu experienced it firsthand, you know~"

"Body, body!"

In an instant, Greta's face turned bright red.

She took a few steps back, her eyes wide, glancing between Ai Li and Nangong Yu, her complex gaze conveying a multitude of emotions.

"Don't make listening to you sing sound so strange!"

"Hey~"

He tapped Ellie on the head again, and she immediately stuck out her tongue as if she were in a daze.

"award!"

She suddenly reached out her hand towards the rain.

"What reward?" Nangong Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, it's a reward for finishing your homework on time!"

"..."

“I have all day on Sunday.”

Upon hearing this, Ellie's eyes lit up with anticipation. It seemed like she had just said it casually, but there was an unexpected surprise in store.

"I remember you said a few days ago that you wanted to go to an amusement park, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then let's go."

He paused, then, seeing the increasingly expectant look in Ellie's eyes, he said, "Just the two of us."

"I love you~"

Like a gust of wind, Ellie jumped off the sofa and pounced on him.

Then, to Gretchen's utter astonishment, he kissed her directly.

This is outrageous! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, this is utterly disgraceful!

That's terrible, let me take another look.

She covered her face with both hands, her fingers spread wide, revealing a pair of misty purple eyes.

Wow, this girl is so pretty! And is this what she and Mr. Knight's relationship was like?

"Hiss, a tongue! So it really can stick out a tongue?!" Gretsch was greatly shocked.

Noticing the gaze that had been peeking at her, Ellie hugged Rain's neck and winked at Gretchen, who was immediately startled and quickly stitched her finger back up.

Wow, that's incredibly bold!

After clinging to him for a while, Ellie finally let go once she was satisfied.

"Let's go and help Gretchen tidy up her room. Let her stay in the remaining bedroom on the second floor."

A couple of days ago, to make it easier to move around, I moved the studio from the second floor to the third floor. There's a room there that's been partitioned off, and the gym is right outside. After work, I can stretch my body properly. The empty room on the second floor can be used as Gretchen's bedroom.

"Okay~"

After saying that, Ellie walked over to Gretsch, whose little face was still a little red, bent down and extended her hand to her: "Little Gretsch, come on over too~"

Upon hearing the invitation, Gretchen hesitated for a moment, then looked at the gently smiling Alicia, and looked up at the knight with encouraging eyes. Finally, she hesitantly extended her palm and nodded gently.

The empty room already had a bed. After changing the bedding to a brand new set and tidying up a bit, a clean room was ready.

Gretchen's suitcase wasn't very big; it contained only two simple changes of clothes, some of Gretchen's favorite drawing tools, and a few other odds and ends.

"Looks like I need to buy some clothes for little Gretchen."

"Didn't you and Seele make plans to go shopping together on Saturday? How about bringing Greta along?"

“I would have done it even if you hadn’t told me, Ah Yu.”
