After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

Lu Lingzhou specially found a cage and put the motionless thing in it, intending to see if it would fly away tonight like it did last night.

That evening, Lu Lingzhou sat on the sofa with Xiao Ranran in his arms. Mu Chen and Lu Tingchen sat beside him, along with Jiang Wen, who stubbornly refused to leave.

"No, what are you looking at?" Jiang Wen asked, puzzled. What was so interesting about a dead bird?

"Little baby, can I have a hug? I've missed you so much."

Jiang Wen was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, using a rabbit doll to lure the little guy, trying to catch that innocent little white rabbit.

Xiao Ranran smiled as she looked at the bunny doll in his hand and reached out her little hand to grab it.

"Bunny".

Jiang Wen withdrew his hand, then handed it over again, teasing him repeatedly until Xiao Ranran giggled.

Seeing that the little one in his arms was about to jump out, Lu Lingzhou reached out and grabbed the rabbit doll from Jiang Wen's hand, stuffing it into Xiao Ranran's arms.

"Go ahead and play with it, but you can't sleep with it tonight."

The little guy puffed out his cheeks: "Bunny, break."

Why can't I sleep with a bunny? Bunnies are so cute.

Lu Lingzhou raised an eyebrow and pinched his soft cheek. "So, do you want to sleep next to Daddy or next to Bunny? You can only choose one."

"If you sleep next to the bunny, you'll be sleeping alone in the children's room tonight."

Little Ranran opened her mouth slightly, decisively abandoned the bunny doll in her arms, and threw it to Jiang Wen without hesitation. She rubbed her little head against Lu Lingzhou's chest and said in a childish voice, "Bang, bang, broken."

He wanted to sleep next to his father.

Lu Lingzhou smiled and hugged the little guy closer. "Good boy, sleep next to Daddy tonight."

Jiang Wen, standing to the side, was holding a rabbit plush toy, looking disgusted.

How old are you? You're still fighting with a rabbit. Shameless.

Lu Tingchen also found it amusing, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at the little guy's clingy appearance.

So cute, no wonder he's his little nephew.

Mu Chen checked the time, got up to make the milk, and handed the milk bottle to Xiao Ranran.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Lu Lingzhou's attention fell on the cage on the coffee table.

The bird inside lay motionless, showing no sign of waking up.

"Mu Chen, how long ago last night did you see it move?"

Mu Chen thought for a moment, then looked at the time and shook his head: "I don't know, but the moon was already in the sky at that time."

He didn't really check the time.

Lu Tingchen turned to look out the window. "The moon doesn't seem to have risen yet tonight."

Are we waiting for the moon to come out?

"Let's wait a bit longer. We have nothing else to do anyway. How about watching TV? I heard that the TV series starring Murui has been released, and the reviews are pretty good."

Lu Tingchen picked up the remote and turned on the TV. The first thing on the screen was Murui's new TV.

Mentioning Mu Rui, Mu Chen seemed to remember something. He tugged at Lu Lingzhou's sleeve: "Uncle Lu, Uncle Mu, are we just going to abandon him?"

If I'm not mistaken, he should still be in Mu Lang's hands.

Lu Lingzhou was unusually silent. He had been back for two days, busy with work and this dead bird, and had forgotten that Mu Rui was still with Mu Lang.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, then lowered his eyes to look at the little one in his arms, and sighed, "I'll go find him tomorrow."

After all, he's the little guy's second father. Even though he's unreliable, we still need to find him. Besides, now that the third father has appeared, the next two will definitely be here soon. So, forming an alliance is still very necessary.

The group sat in the living room watching TV, while little Ranran sat in Lu Lingzhou's lap, leaning against his chest and drinking milk.

Outside the window, the moon gradually broke through the clouds and hung on the horizon. At the same time, on the coffee table, Ecris moved its wings and slowly opened its eyes.

Feeling stifled, he couldn't find any decent food when he went out last night, so he had to come back.

Unexpectedly, before he even entered the door, the sun rose above the horizon, and he fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

I'm so annoyed.

No, I must drink some blood today; I absolutely cannot turn back into a corpse.

Ecris spread its wings, ready to leave, but when it stood up it saw the cage in front of it.

What is that? A cage? Who did this? Who did this?!

How dare they arrest this Duke? Their audacity is off the charts!

He angrily flapped his wings, ready to smash the cage, but as soon as he raised his wings, he met a pair of eyes.

A pair of pure and clear eyes.

"Beep beep~"

Xiao Ranran was overjoyed to see the little bird come back to life.

Lu Lingzhou thought he was being called, so he looked down and patted his head, saying, "Dad's here."

The little guy tilted his head back and gave a cute, soft smile.

It was a very pleasing scene, but Ecclesiastes found it glaringly, unbearably glaring.

"squeak!"

Hey, hey, hey, there's a bat here too!

Lu Lingzhou then turned his gaze to the cage.

It was somewhat unbelievable to see something that had been lying flat during the day actually come to life.

Lu Tingchen and Jiang Wen also looked over, crowding around the cage to stare at the dark creature.

Lu Tingchen: "Brother, how come it's alive? Didn't the vet say it was dead?"

Eccles was furious: "Squeak!" You're the one who's dead!

Jiang Wen: "What is this thing?"

Mu Chen: "One veterinarian said it was a bird, and another said it was a crow." They were both different.

Jiang Wen gasped, "Wow, did these two veterinarians buy their licenses?"

Lu Tingchen: "So, does the robot butler know whether it's a bird or a crow?"

Lu Lingzhou: "Er Gou said he couldn't find it." Useless trash.

Eccles was furious listening to their words.

What crow? What bird? I'm a bat, a purebred bat, a member of the vampire royal family! Don't you know anything, you bunch of country bumpkins?

"squeak!"

Let this duke out, you wretched humans!

Jiang Wen: "Is it swearing?"

Mu Chen: "No way, what could someone so small possibly be cursing about?"

Lu Tingchen: "Just keep it locked up like this? What will it eat?"

Lu Lingzhou: "...It hasn't eaten anything yet."

While the four were talking, Xiao Ranran came to the cage and reached out her finger to touch Eckeris.

As he looked at the fingers in front of him, an uncontrollable scent of blood wafted into his nose.

It smells so good, I really want to eat it.

Ekris stepped back and leaned against the cage, refusing to move.

He wouldn't stoop so low as to suck a child's blood, even though that blood smells delicious.

But the taste of blood kept tempting him, and he was about to give in.

A delicate, fair hand waved in front of her, and beneath the skin lay delicious-looking blood.

His vampire-like nature caused his eyes to redden as he walked over, mesmerized.

He would only eat one bite, just one bite, and never more.

When Xiao Ranran saw him coming, she smiled happily and even stretched her little hand inside.

Lu Tingchen caught a glimpse of the bird and sensed something was off about it, so he reached out and grabbed Xiao Ranran's little hand.

"Ranran, take your hand out, be careful it..." pecks you.

"what!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ranran abruptly withdrew her hand.
