The package has assigned me way too many objects.

When Minagawa Izumi opened them, she found that they were socks with measuring scales on both the inside and outside of the legs.

"Do your teachers make you wear this to class now?" she asked, puzzled.

Minagawa Izumi didn't attend school much; her family taught her one-on-one or hired famous tutors to come to her home. She would only occasionally visit a school to experience it firsthand, so she was unaware of the current popular teacher uniforms.

But no matter what, there's something odd about printing a ruler on black bodysuit stockings.

“No, but I think this is very suitable for female monsters. A ruler, with markings and a disciplinary ruler, is related to mathematics and physics. At first glance, it also gives a very serious feeling, with a sense of discipline in its rationality!” Chu Yinan nodded confidently.

"Alright, this one will do." Minagawa Izumi didn't think much of it. She wasn't particularly interested in teacher uniforms anyway, she just didn't want to give Izumi any reason to criticize her.

Before long, Minagawa Izumi, who rarely wore modern clothes, changed into a conservative teacher's uniform. Her hairstyle changed from an old-fashioned updo to a common and formal tied-up style. At Chu Yinan's urging, she chose a bright red lipstick. Only now did Chu Yinan realize what her good sister Fu Xi had done: the skirt suits she had chosen for the female demon were all about a size too small. This made Minagawa Izumi's perfect hip curves stand out perfectly, making her look like a ripe, juicy peach.

In comparison, the socks Chu Yinan picked out for her didn't seem particularly eye-catching.

"Why does the skirt feel a little tight? Did Fu Xi give me the wrong one?" The woman touched the skirt.

"It's not tight, I think it fits perfectly!" Chu Yinan nodded emphatically, already holding her hand, determined to learn diligently from the teacher.

Then came a normal breakfast, followed by chatting in the morning and strolling around the yard.

Minagawa Izumi originally planned to spend more time with Xiao Chu Nan today, not letting him run around, and also to show him off to Yan Liu. But as it turned out, she didn't have to do anything to Xiao Chu Nan; the little guy just clung to her and wouldn't let go.

Where did your Aunt Liu go?

"I don't know, haven't I always been with you?" Chu Yinan hugged the female demon's black-stockinged legs.

"You're so clingy to me now, don't let Aunt Liu call you and you run off to her like a little puppy."

"No, no!" Chu Yinan sighed deeply. "Isn't Aunt Liu supposed to have less contact with me? I can't make things difficult for Aunt Liu."

That's all; it's not that I want to cling to the female monster's voluptuous thighs forever.

Therefore, there is a natural difference in aesthetics between men and women. It's one thing for young women to like to Photoshop their photos, but why do they all like to make their legs look so thin and long? There's not a bit of flesh on them, is that acceptable?

"Then remember what you're saying now. If your Aunt Liu makes a scene, don't think I'm making things difficult for you, little one."

Does Minagawa Izumi still remember yesterday's score? Now he plans to use Xiao Chu Nan to get back at him.

She herself felt that this mentality was childish, like that of a child, but Minagawa Izumi really couldn't swallow her anger if she didn't fight back!

After asking the maids who were passing by, Chu Yinan learned that Aunt Liu was chatting in the small pavilion on the terrace, so Minagawa Izumi immediately took little Chu Yinan there.

Having found Yan Liu's location, Minagawa Izumi walked over unhurriedly, not joining Yan Liu and Heinrich's conversation, but simply holding Chu Yinan and sitting directly opposite Yan Liu, occasionally stroking the little one's nape.

When Yan Liu looked over, Minagawa Izumi didn't shy away from the situation. He even picked up Yan Liu's hand, squeezed his palm, and shook it.

Yan Liu felt a mixture of envy and resentment. Was this woman deliberately showing off? Only she had ever been allowed to pet the baby like this before.

"Little Chunan, you've been with your teacher for so long, it's time to let her rest. Why don't you come to Aunt Liu's place?"

Heinrich and Morgan, who had come to chat, immediately interrupted their conversation, poured themselves a cup of tea, and watched the show!

This is exactly what Minagawa Izumi was waiting for. It's 10:47 a.m. now, and she has been carrying Xiao Chu Nan around in front of Yan Liu non-stop. Wherever Yan Liu goes, she takes Xiao Chu Nan for a walk.

Previously, Yan Liu could pretend not to see it, but now she can't hold back anymore?

Minagawa Izumi was still holding Xiao Chu Nan, showing no intention of letting him get off her:

"No need. I've been wearing these clothes for half a day. As long as I'm wearing them, it means I'm Xiao Chunan's guide. No matter what, I won't use being tired as an excuse to let Xiao Chunan out of my sight!"

Chapter 23 Let's add a buff to Xiao Chunan's food.

Yan Liu was angry all day long. Wherever she went, Minagawa Izumi carried Xiao Chu Nan with him.

Sometimes she would just go to the bathroom to wash her hands, and when she came out, she would see Minagawa Izumi waiting outside. She would innocently say that she was waiting for the bathroom to wash Xiao Chuan's hands, and that it was such a coincidence that she ran into her again.

This infuriated Yan Liu, but the key issue was that she couldn't find a foothold to retaliate.

There was nothing wrong with the teacher's uniform; she had been wearing it for quite some time. At most, one could say that Minagawa Izumi's choice of stockings was a bit indecent. Other than that, there was no way to get close to Xiao Chu Nan. Even having the maids continue to stimulate him didn't work, so Minagawa Izumi stayed with him the whole time.

Moreover, in order not to give Yan Liu away, Izumi would occasionally call the two maids over to chat and play with Xiao Chu Nan for a while, to show that she was not monopolizing Xiao Chu Nan and was supervising him to get close to his peers. After that, she would continue to accompany Xiao Chu Nan, and they were basically inseparable.

Left with no other choice, Yan Liu turned to his daughter, Bei Yutang, hoping to find a breakthrough and seek outside help from her.

"Mom, what are you doing? You're acting so strangely." The girl looked at her mother's antics with a calm but helpless expression, thinking to herself, "Can't she just calm down for a while? Why is she picking a fight with Xiao Chu Nan's wet nurse?"

"Aren't you worried? Little Chunan is being occupied by his wet nurse the whole time, I can't even touch him!"

"Then what do you want?" Bei Yutang spread her hands helplessly. "Didn't you want to make a bet and an agreement with Minagawa Izumi?"

"If I hadn't made that promise back then, Minagawa Izumi would have taken Xiao Chu Nan away and stayed with her for half a month. After that, Xiao Chu Nan would have been completely brainwashed and wouldn't recognize my aunt anymore." Yan Liu said seriously, sounding like she was making a big deal out of it.

Bei Yutang understands her mother. Xiao Chunan has run away from home twice, and she is worried that Xiao Chunan will run away from home again. If it weren't for the technology, Yan Liu would probably want to merge Xiao Chunan into her body and give birth to her again, so as to rightfully replace the wet nurse identity of Minakawa Izumi.

"Yes, yes, Mom, so what do you plan to do now?"

“You step forward and bring Xiao Chunan over. We’ll split the play 50/50 and play with Xiao Chunan together. In the agreement, Minagawa Izumi asked Xiao Chunan to play with children his own age more often. You can do that too. I saw Minagawa Izumi letting Xiao Chunan play with Xuan Ya this morning.”

Bei Yutang hasn't touched her little brother much these past two days, mainly because she doesn't want to get involved in this mess. So she left Xiao Chunan in the manor to sit in jail while she took her maid and took a good stroll around the neighborhood.

She had already predicted that the tug-of-war between her mother and Minagawa Izumi wouldn't last long and would definitely end sooner than expected, because that agreement was unrealistic. She really didn't believe that her mother could endure not touching Xiao Chu Nan for so long, but her mother probably had some way to deal with Minagawa Izumi at first, but when that failed, she could only think of giving up.

“It’s no problem for me to call Xiao Chunan over, but this isn’t a long-term solution. Are you really planning to waste your whole winter break on this? Half a month is a long time. Just getting up and going for a walk, chatting, and shopping every day would be more comfortable than this constant bickering.”

"I didn't expect Minagawa Izumi to be so ruthless, but it wouldn't be good for me to back down. At worst, I'll do what she did. It just means I can't be alone with Xiao Chu Nan for long periods of time. I'll follow her into the bathroom and see who can't take it anymore!" Yan Liu pursed her lips and bit her lip, turning her original red lip makeup into a bitten lip look.

"So what were you planning to do with Aunt Minagawa?" Bei Yutang asked. "Was it to keep having the maids and Marissa kiss Xiao Chunan, to provoke Aunt Minagawa in front of her?"

"Yes, didn't she say she wanted Xiao Chunan to get closer to other girls? Let's just go along with her wishes. Do you have any other ideas?"

Bei Yutang thought there was more to the story, since there couldn't be only the best plan. But she guessed that when her mother agreed, she was so angry at Minagawa Izumi's domineering attempt to take the child that she only came up with a simple solution and didn't add anything more.

“What can I do? But I don’t think Aunt Minagawa is the kind of person who can cause trouble. She likes peace and quiet, and I guess she won’t be in the mood to make a fuss with you in a couple of days. Then, have your aunt or Heinrich find a way to end things and pretend nothing happened.”

In the current situation, the best outcome would be a lose-lose situation, with neither side finding happiness.

Seeing that he couldn't get past the tough nut of Minakawa Izumi, Yan Liu lost interest and nodded, saying:

"Alright then, but Yutang, you still have to help me call Xiao Chunan out. I haven't touched him all day."

"...In the end, we still came back to this. You can't show this impatience in front of Aunt Minagawa, or she might get determined to keep you on your toes!"

"Of course! How could I possibly be outdone in front of her?" Yan Liu said defiantly.

"Okay, then after dinner tonight, I'll call Xiao Chunan out for a walk, and I might invite Marissa along too."

"Anything is fine!"

------------

Meanwhile, Heinrich was taking a walk with Morgan in the manor. The damp and gloomy atmosphere made the walk rather uncomfortable.

This is what it's like after a light snowfall: not much snow, and it melts quickly, leaving moisture in the air. A walk after a heavy snowfall is much drier and more pleasant, provided the snow doesn't bury the roads.

Morgan, what are we having for dinner tonight?

"It's still a long time before lunchtime, and you're already hungry?" Morgan asked in surprise, wondering if he should arrange afternoon tea for her tomorrow.

"No, it's not that. If it's mealtime, there's no point in asking what to eat. The weather forecast from Turing Tower says it will snow in the evening, and it might snow all night. I'm thinking about whether to eat something warm like mutton."

Morgan glanced at Darlena, who was following beside him. Darlena immediately understood and said, "It's still early. If we want to eat mutton, we can still have someone buy it now without delaying our normal mealtime."

"Then let's have mutton. But Heinrich, I remember that Xiao Chunan can't eat this kind of nourishing food, right? Is it an aphrodisiac? Last time he only ate a small bite of vegetables and then only ate the vegetarian noodles. I thought the little guy didn't like the food prepared by the kitchen."

Heinrich said, "It's true that you can't eat it, but it's not that you can't eat it at all. It's just that if you eat it, the bird will get really irritated. I'd like to see if Izumi Minagawa can still keep protecting Xiao Chu Nan like that."

Morgan suddenly realized: "That's quite something to look forward to. If Yanliu and Minagawa Izumi remain at this stalemate, they'll probably say they're tired and don't want to play anymore tomorrow."

She instructed Darlene, "Then I'll have to trouble you to arrange dinner. Don't just make mutton; prepare several other dishes, all of them nourishing. Also, have Xiao Chunan's rice smoked with medicinal herbs."

The beautiful black-haired maid nodded: "Okay."

Chapter 24 Why are you staying in the bathroom?

　dinner.

Tonight's dinner smelled especially good. The good smell refers to the fragrance. Although Chu Yinan is averse to most tastes, his sense of smell is normal.

Lemon-scented roasted lamb, lamb stew, and a bunch of other dishes that Chu Yinan couldn't name—all these fragrant aromas stimulated his sense of smell.

This is really unpleasant. You can smell the aroma, but the taste is completely different. It's torture.

He grabbed a lemon from the table in a fit of rage and took a bite as if to vent his frustration:

"What day is it today? Why is dinner so lavish? I don't remember it being a holiday or anyone's birthday."

Minagawa Izumi is quite picky about food, preferring light flavors and a very health-conscious diet. She has some reservations about the occasional large, meaty meal, but she's not so tactless as to say it out loud.

"Little Chunan, don't eat so much, and don't eat so many lemons either."

Looking at the table full of food, Chu Yinan thought to himself that there had to be some food he could eat. He felt a little like growing bigger so that his sense of taste would be normal.

"I'll just eat rice, and only a little bit of the barbecue. I won't overeat."

Sitting next to him, Jiang Xuanya handed him a piece of sliced ​​mutton. The bones had been mostly removed, leaving only meat in his mouth. Chu Yinan thanked her after receiving it, then squeezed a lot of lemon juice onto the mutton before taking a bite.

"Mmm, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy with every bite, very good!"

Lee Hyun-eun watched the little one eat the whole time, and just seeing the amount of lemon juice made her teeth ache. She exclaimed:

"Is this juice lemon juice? If any chef who values ​​his customers saw this, he would be heartbroken. He would have worked hard all day, only to be satisfied with a lemon."

"They're all the same, they're all the same." Chu Yinan waved his hand, no longer pretending, and started eating the lemon directly, leaving the grilled meat aside.

Morgan suddenly said, "Little Chunan, go see what Dalena is doing. Why hasn't she brought the food up yet?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Chu Yinan jumped down from his seat and ran into the small room to check on the situation, but he was immediately hugged by Dalena as soon as he entered.

"Have you eaten the mutton? How was it?"

"It smells okay, but I don't know about the taste. My aunt said it's time to serve the food."

"Okay, I'll urge someone to send it over. The chef we hired this time is a master chef. It would be a shame if you couldn't taste it. Why don't you try it while no one's around? We also have stewed mutton soup here. Try it first."

Chu Yinan wasn't particularly craving food; he was content as long as he was full. However, after Darlena's suggestion, he decided to give it a try.

"Okay, then you keep an eye on things for me. Remember to let me know if anyone comes over, otherwise we'll be exposed."

And so, a naked man suddenly appeared in the food preparation room, acting suspiciously and sneakily stealing food. After savoring the taste, feeling guilty, he quickly transformed back into his clothes.

Chu Yinan gave a thumbs up: "The taste is indeed good, but why are all the dishes related to lamb today? Is it a holiday?"
