The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Socks are elastic, so can we learn some operational experience from movies and TV shows? In many scenes, bandits will put a dark-colored women's stocking over their heads before they rob someone.

Chu Yinan thought this method was feasible!

……

Five minutes later, Chu Yinan successfully obtained today's mission attempts. As expected, this mission had some unspoken conditions, which were quite torturous.

"My posture is so weird, I need to get out of here quickly."

Just as Chu Yinan was about to slowly stick his head out, Bei Yutang suddenly rolled over, her feet naturally turning with him. Before Chu Yinan could even get his head out, the sock was twisted into a loose knot around his neck.

It won't affect your breathing, but you can forget about going out!

"It's over! What are we going to do?!"

When people feel restrained while sleeping, they will unconsciously move around. Bei Yutang felt uncomfortable because Chu Yinan was holding her legs, so she crossed her legs and swung them around.

It's fine if you don't move, but if you do, something bad will happen. Chu Yinan's neck is "tied up"!

The socks were tied in a more subtle knot.

Chu Yinan's mind was shattered; it felt as if a hundred thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart.

How should we describe the current situation? Sun Wukong single-handedly ventured into the Spider Cave, his golden cudgel battling the spider demons, but in the end, the spider silk's control effect caused his cudgel to get stuck inside the Spider Cave.

Chu Yinan felt he could break free by brute force, but if Yu Tang woke up at that moment, the whole thing would be completely exposed.

Then all the effort just now was meaningless.

"Let's wait and see. Once Yutang is comfortable, I should be able to find a chance to escape," Chu Yinan thought to himself. Even in this predicament, he did not forget to think.

Chu Yinan chose to be a patient and patient person, waiting for the right opportunity!

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Yinan was still waiting. His sister's tender white pig's trotters showed no sign of moving, but Chu Yinan was already starting to feel sleepy.

His eyelids drooped a few times, his big head started to droop, and drowsiness came over him like a tide. In the end, he couldn't resist and fell asleep.

......

As dawn broke, neither the siblings showed any sign of waking up.

Chu Yinan was so tired from waking up in the early morning to do a mission that she barely opened her eyes at six o'clock before falling back asleep.

Bei Yutang's daily routine is quite regular; she just loves to sleep in. Her alarm clock is usually Chu Yinan. The sound of Chu Yinan getting up will wake her up, and the girl will know that it's about time to wake up.

But now, because the air conditioner was too cold and Chu Yinan was fast asleep, the bedroom of the two siblings was quiet, with only the sound of steady breathing echoing in the air.

Yan Liu and Heinrich were among the later risers in the family, but the siblings were not seen this morning.

"Have Chu Yinan and Yutang gone to school yet?" Yan Liu asked, forgetting to check if the siblings' room was open when she went downstairs.

“Yutang and Chu Nan should not have gotten up yet. Chun and I didn’t see them come out to wash up until we finished making breakfast, and their shoes are still in the entryway.” Diliya said methodically. She put down the tableware, anticipated her master’s instructions, and got up to wake the two of them.

Heinrich checked the time and wondered if he should drive his children to school, something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Delia, could you please call the two of them? Have the two siblings been sneaking out to play at night? They seem to be getting up later lately."

As the order was given, Delia had already stood up. She nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

"It's normal to sleep in sometimes," Yan Liu said without a care. She picked up a silver spoon and took a sip of sweet soup to replenish her blood sugar.

"It just requires more supervision of their routines. Bad habits can be formed in just three days, but good habits require a lifetime of persistence."

Judging by the maid's unhurried and elegant pace, it would take about a minute and a half to get from the dining room to the siblings' room, including the time spent knocking and waiting.

After nearly two minutes, the beautiful maid with light blonde hair realized there was no response to the knocking. She said softly, "Excuse me," and went into the bedroom.

The cold air from the air conditioner gave her goosebumps, and Delia realized that something was wrong with the situation on the bed.

Bei Yutang was fast asleep, but the little guy was nowhere to be seen.

After carefully checking, Delia finally noticed that one of Chu Yinan's small feet was sticking out of the blanket.

"..." That's such a terrible sleeping posture.

The maid lifted the covers, intending to wake Chu Yinan first, but then she was dumbfounded.

For a moment, she felt as if she were back in the shock she felt when she helped him clean the attic room last time.

What is this?

This can't be explained by just having bad sleeping posture, right?

Delia told herself to calm down. She put the blanket down, turned off the air conditioner, and silently left the room.

When Heinrich saw Delia come downstairs, he asked, "Why are you alone? Why don't they get up?"

"Could it be that he's not feeling well?" Yan Liu asked with some concern.

“Well… I think it would be better if Miss Heinrich and Madam went to check it out themselves. Perhaps the young master’s sleep quality hasn’t been very good since the bed was changed…” Delia said tactfully.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Chapter 48 Social Death

Chu Yinan now loathes staying up late and getting up in the middle of the night, and he is now facing a very strange dilemma.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes after waking up was a toe. At the same time, the light around him was slightly dim, but in fact, it was because the light inside the sock was not good.

And next to him was a cell phone with the recording function turned on. The whole family was gathered in the bedroom, watching Chu Yinan's mysterious sleeping posture in an orderly fashion, as if they were watching a monkey.

Chu Yinan's despair reached a point where he calmed down, and he broke the silence with tears welling up in his eyes: "Can you please stop looking? We're going to be late for school..."

I never expected this to happen.

Heinrich sat next to Chu Yinan, and even the usually calm father couldn't help but marvel, gently patting Chu Yinan's cheek through his daughter's socks.

"Yu Tang's toes were all wrinkled from being soaked in water."

Yan Liu was overjoyed. During her gatherings with her girlfriends, she had heard them complain about how ridiculous their babies' sleeping postures were. They would wake up one night either upside down or in a bent-legged, Buddha-like position.

I never expected that the most outrageous thing would be my own little brat. Next time, I can probably look forward to Chu Yinan waking up and finding himself sleeping inside the dress in the closet.

"Now when my girlfriends get together and talk about how babies sleep, I'll have something to say. Yu Tang's sleeping posture when she was little was so cute, not interesting at all. Little Chunan is much more fun. Baby, don't move, Aunt Liu will take a full-body picture of you~"

"I feel utterly hopeless" is an understatement to describe Chu Yinan's sorrow at this moment.

Bei Yutang was sleeping so soundly that when she first woke up, she was still a little groggy and wondered why there were so many people in her room, but she quickly came to her senses.

Upon discovering her younger brother's appearance, she, as the older sister, was both amused and exasperated.

Yesterday morning, after Chu Yinan's mission progress failed to "+1", Bei Yutang keenly guessed that it was probably because of the socks. Therefore, last night when she went to bed, she deliberately put on socks, just to see if Chu Yinan could suppress his courage when he committed the crime at midnight and make the whole mission fail.

She pretended to be asleep until 11:30 p.m. and found that her younger brother had completely fallen asleep. He didn't react when she touched his ticklish spot, so Bei Yutang stopped trying to keep him awake and went to sleep peacefully.

When I woke up in the morning, I found this helpless yet funny scene: the little guy had gotten his head stuck in his sock and slept like that all night.

"Has Chu Yinan developed some strange habit lately? He's been feeling hungry. Did he sleepwalk last night and want a midnight snack? He secretly took off my socks, thinking he was tearing open the packaging to eat them, and ended up getting himself trapped inside." Bei Yutang pretended to be oblivious even though she knew the truth.

Delia and Chun stood at the door, quietly watching the scene unfold.

They now felt that this young master was really good at causing trouble, always managing to create unexpected situations in strange and unusual ways. He seemed harmless and weak, but in reality, he was a little wild beast.

Whether it's the mess we cleaned up after his coming-of-age ceremony or his bizarre sleeping posture now, Chu Yinan's situation is just too much and quite dangerous!

"If it really is a quirk, it's best to take him to a psychologist for a checkup and some guidance. Otherwise, it will become a bigger problem if it develops into something worse." Heinrich became serious. There was a psychologist nearby named Bachmann, but she was only a minor in psychology and didn't seem to be a professional enough.

Yan Liu originally wanted to say that if the quirk wasn't serious, she would let him be. Besides, at Chu Yinan's age, it was probably just curiosity. Once the initial enthusiasm wore off and the interest died down, the so-called quirk would naturally disappear.

However, upon hearing Heinrich say that things might turn out in a bad direction, Yan Liu became worried.

"Any other bad habits? Generally speaking, having a fetish is quite normal, it might even just be an aesthetic preference. You can't say that the shoe designer of high heels has a problem, can you?"

"Who knows what will happen? But there are plenty of 'accidents' in hospitals, such as claims like, 'I accidentally sat on the fish and it got stuck in the model and I can't get it out,' or 'My friend said that inserting small beads helps prevent male diseases, so I tried it and it got stuck in the model and I can't get it out either.'"

Although these patients claimed it was "accidental" or "out of curiosity," everyone knew perfectly well what the actual situation was. Isn't this just like the "I Have a Friend" series?

"That's really terrible." Yan Liu's expression changed upon hearing this, unable to imagine such a situation happening to her own child. "Leaving aside whether such a fetish is shameful or not, the danger alone is very worrying!"

"I don't......"

Chu Yinan explained in a low voice, "I just had a little accident while doing a task. Don't all treat me like a weirdo!"

The maid, Jun, felt her chance had come. After making a fool of herself so many times before, this time she finally had a chance to show her considerate and steady side, just like her older sister, Delia! And she could also put the masters' minds at ease about the young master's safety!

She moved closer to Chu Yinan, her small face displaying a saintly, forgiving expression, and comforted him:

"I've heard from other seniors that many men have strange fetishes, and some of them are even potentially dangerous. If young master... young Chu Nan develops such a fetish in the future, don't feel ashamed. Chun's hands are very steady, and he can minimize the risks!"

Delia's smile froze. She walked over, grabbed Chun, and pinched his cheeks hard, giving him a good scolding.

Who taught you all this? Is the way you put your owners at ease by helping your little master safely indulge in his quirks?

As Chu Yinan listened to their incessant discussion, not a single one of them thought of helping him out of his predicament; they only wanted to laugh at him. Suddenly, he felt that all the happiness belonged to them, while he had nothing.

Is this what social death feels like...?

......

Because of what happened in the morning, Chu Yinan got a whole day off, which was granted by Heinrich calling to ask for leave on his behalf.

Moreover, Heinrich didn't want to be questioned, so the first thing he did when he dialed the number was to tell his homeroom teacher that Chu Yinan was going to have another circumcision and asked for leave to rest.

This holiday, which was earned at the cost of face and personal dignity, was quite leisurely, so Chu Yinan called Shibuya Yi and the others to let them know and move their weekend plans forward.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, tea time, in the prosecutor's office tea room.

"The prosecutor's office's tea room is a bit old. Shibuya, didn't you complain and ask them to renovate it?" Mandy was enjoying her tea, since this was a paid tea break.

"I don't have as much free time as you." Shibuya Yi casually replied to Mandy, then looked at the little guy: "Chu Nan, why do you look so listless?"

"My family misunderstood me, it's a bit annoying." Chu Yinan sighed, looking quite precocious.

Chapter 49 The Bonaparte Lady

“It’s nothing to be misunderstood. I can see that your family cares about you a lot. There’s no need to take such a small misunderstanding to heart. Just take it as a sign of their concern.” Mandy said this without any sense of the pain of the situation.

In her opinion, being misunderstood is normal. There is no true understanding between people. The two sides are just different minds. What can be done? No one can make the other accept their own views, just like XP and sexual orientation.

When it comes to family matters, Shibuya Gigi felt it was better to take the initiative. She took a sip of tea and said:

"If possible, it's better to take the initiative to communicate. Some people are shy and don't want to open up to their family members, even if they have a good relationship with them, because they feel embarrassed. This does happen. My advice is to try to communicate more and you'll get used to it."
