Jenny woke up first. She glanced at Andre who was sleeping next to her, and Virgil who was sitting at the table waiting for them. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him.

"Um, this young man, I recognize you..."

"Ah, Madam, do you remember what happened last night?" Virgil asked hurriedly when he saw Jenny waking up.

"Ah, let me think..." Jenny thought back and then remembered.

Last night, I went downstairs with my husband and saw my husband lying on the ground with a man in black next to him. Then I fell into a coma.

"It seems someone wanted to break into the house last night." Jenny said. "Did you save me and my husband?"

"Yeah." Virgil nodded. "You don't have to call me boy, just call me Virgil."

"Okay, brother Virgil, thank you very much." Having said this, Jenny sat up from the bed and looked at Virgil.

"Tell me the truth, brother Virgil, are you sent by the Duke?"

"Why do you think so, boss lady?"

"After all, I've never seen you before, and we had an accident the night you showed up, so I can only guess."

"Well, to be honest, I am indeed from the Duke's Mansion." Virgil nodded after hearing this. "Last night, a group of people took money from others and wanted to kidnap you. I happened to be nearby at the time, and when I saw the scene, I immediately asked someone to rescue you. At that time, I saw that you were still unconscious, so I thought of notifying you after you woke up."

"Is that so?" Jenny looked out the window. It was already noon. Seeing this, Jenny immediately showed an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, brother Virgil, for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's okay." Virgil smiled and shook his head. "I'm glad you're all right."

"Brother Virgil, since you are from the Duke's side, can you tell me how Litt is doing recently?" Jenny said this with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Mr. Lit..." Virgil thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Lit has a good life in the family. Everyone in the family likes him very much. He recently enrolled in the Imperial College and won the first place. It can be said that his future is limitless."

"Is that so? That's good." Jenny nodded after hearing that. "Then, brother Virgil, can you please help keep that secret?"

"What's the matter?" Virgil showed a puzzled look when he heard this.

"Ah, just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing that Virgil seemed to have forgotten about it, Jenny felt relieved.

"Anyway, thank you, Brother Virgil."

"It's okay." Virgil shook his head, and then reminded: "You still have to pay attention to your safety in the next two days. Don't go out at night. During the day, try to go out in pairs. Don't be alone."

"Also, I'm sorry... I couldn't convince the Duke to take you to the Duke's Mansion..."

"It's okay." Jenny said, shaking her head nonchalantly. "To be honest, we used to work hard on the land, with meals coming and going. If the harvest was good, we could eat every day, and if the harvest was bad, we wouldn't starve to death. That was our life."

"It would be uncomfortable to take us to the Duke's mansion all day. It's good like this now. As for someone wanting to kill us, our lives are not worth much, right?"

"I can't have children. Over the years, Lit has been like our own flesh and blood. We can certainly understand the Duke's feelings. It's okay. We won't take the initiative to see Lit. As long as we know that Lit is doing well, we as parents will feel at ease."

"Well, I've told you so many useless things and poured out so much waste water, you must be tired of listening to it." Jenny said this and smiled. "Brother Virgil, do you have something else to do? We two won't disturb you, go and do it."

"Okay..." Virgil nodded and stood up.

Yes, all parents in the world love each other.

Although Virgil is an orphan without a father or a mother, this makes him more able to understand the warmth of family love.

It is precisely because we have never come into contact with it that we imagine it to be as beautiful as a dream.

Andre and his wife

Lucius, as Lit's parent, loves Lit in his own way.

Virgil couldn't help but think so as he set out on the road back to Saint Laurent City.

……

Inside the Imperial College.

Today, Litt is taking Hecatia's alchemy class. She is the only one in the class and the teaching atmosphere is quite relaxed.

Basically, she and Hecatia were busy with their own things. If she didn't know something, she would ask Hecatia, and when Hecatia felt bored, she would talk to Litt.

"Um... Teacher Hecatia, do you have any extra of the potion you gave me earlier?"

Litt was operating the alchemical equipment and suddenly spoke out of the blue.

"Or, can you tell me the material ratio or something like that? I can make it myself."

"Uh... I still have a little here." Hecatia said this, sneaking up behind Lit and patting her shoulder.

This action startled Litt, and she quickly turned around and looked behind her vigilantly.

She was relieved when she saw it was Hecatia.

"Teacher Hecatia, please don't scare me."

"It's Leeteuk, but you get scared so easily. There were only you and me in this room just now."

"Here, this is the potion you wanted." Hecatia said this and handed the potion bottle to Litt.

Just as Litt was about to reach out to grab the potion, Hecatia retracted her hand, leaving Litt with nothing.

"Teacher, please stop teasing me." Litt couldn't help but say.

"Leet, do you remember that the last time you got this bottle of potion, the teacher gave it to you as compensation because he saw that you were wronged?"

"Yeah." Li Te nodded.

"I can't give it to you for no reason." Hecatia said. "Leet, tell me, what are you going to do with this bottle of medicine?"

"No... I'm not doing anything..." Seeing Hecatia pursuing the matter, Litt glanced away with a red face.

You can't say that you want to make Orson fall asleep again and take the opportunity to do something to him, right?

I tried this a few days ago, and the result was that Orson, who had not drunk the sleeping potion, would be awakened as long as I walked up to him, even though he was not feeling tired that day.

Every time he was discovered, Lit could only pretend to be sleepwalking awkwardly and let Orson wake him up.

There hasn't been much going on in the student union recently, so Orson is not busy at all.

So these days Orson didn't give any chance at all.

The most important thing is that Litt could feel that Orson's patience was being worn away bit by bit. If he disturbed him like this again, he would definitely lock the door, which meant that he would really have no chance in the future.

"Really?" Hecatia stared at Litt, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Really!" Li Te nodded.

"Alas." Hecatia sighed, and then said: "Forget it, Lit, the teacher won't tease you anymore."

"Leet, do you like Orson?"

"Eh?!" Upon hearing this, Litt looked at Hekatia in surprise, and his face turned red.

"Teacher Hecatia... what are you talking about... Orson, he, he is my..."

"I know, he's your brother." Hekatia nodded. "But, it's only been a short time since he became your brother, and he's not a blood-related brother, not at all."

"During this period, he must have taken good care of you, right? So, as a girl, it's normal for you to like this handsome and considerate boy, right?"

In the second half, Hecatia's tone was clearly flattering, as if someone had deliberately taught her to do so, but Leeteuk, whose brain was in a mess, did not notice this.

At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts like "Oh no, other people know that I like Orson. I'm so embarrassed. I wish I could just take Orson underground, or live in seclusion in a deserted cave and never come out of the world again."

"Lite, Lite?" Hekatia looked at Lite standing there in a daze and waved her hand.

"Ah... in..." Lit finally came back to his senses, blushing and lowering his head. "Teacher Hekatia... when did you know..."

"I've had my suspicions ever since the day I found out you were a girl," Hecatia said directly. "Until recently, I noticed the interactions between you and Orson, and then I heard from others about your daily life with Orson, and I was certain."

"Eh?"

"Anyway, this bottle of medicine can be given to you." Hecatia said

As he said that, he handed the potion to Lit.

"However, this bottle of medicine has side effects."

"Ah?" Litt was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Side effects, what do they mean?

Thinking of this, Li Te's tone became a little anxious.

"Teacher Hecatia! You never told me before that this medicine has side effects?"

What a joke! If the side effects were serious ones like poisoning or curse, Lit would even want to commit suicide.

Orson was so good to her, but she turned her kindness into hatred...

"But you didn't ask before, Lit. It's common sense that medicine is poisonous to some extent." Hecatia muttered softly, and then continued: "Don't worry, don't worry. Although it is a side effect, it's almost the same whether it's there or not."

"Because this medicine is made from Orson's hair, after drinking it, the hair will grow a lot longer over a period of time. It doesn't matter if you just cut it off."

"Huh..." After hearing these words, Litt's heart finally settled down.

(PS: 7K today. The number of subscriptions has been decreasing recently. I think it’s because I update too infrequently. So although it’s not 1 today, it’s 3K more than the previous two days. I will maintain at least 6K updates per day in the future.)

(Regarding the issue of my long sleep, it should be because I have been taking a painkiller recently to relieve the pain caused by lumbar disc herniation. I will feel sleepy after taking it. I have stopped taking the medicine today. I should be able to stay awake and write during the day tomorrow. If nothing goes wrong, I will be able to see the big chapter update at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening.)

Chapter 1: Doctor (W)

"But, Lit." After handing the medicine bottle to Lit, Hecatia still spoke with some concern.

"I don't know why you want to disguise your identity, but if you tell Orson that you are a girl, it will be easier for him to accept you."

"I...I know." Lit nodded. "But, Teacher Hekatia, Orson is already with Senior Olivia..."

As she said this, she expressed her inner worries.

"As a boy, I can still get closer to Orson, but once Orson knows that I'm a girl and realizes the difference between men and women..."

"Oh, so that's what you're worried about." Hecatia nodded in understanding.

"But..." Hecatia said afterwards. "It's not a good idea to keep going like this, right?"

"Think about it. Since Orson likes Olivia now, it proves that he is heterosexual. And you, who show a 'boyish' personality, will never be able to compete with Olivia."

"Even if you go through all the trouble to pull Orson and Olivia apart and make Orson fall in love with you, do you think that at that time, what Orson likes will be the real you?"

"You psychologically turned Orson from straight to gay, but in reality you were still a girl and he was still straight. Didn't he feel disgusted at that time?"

"I'm afraid Virgil will have more chances than you by then."

On the way back to Imperial College, Virgil couldn't help but sneeze.

"Hmm..." Lit lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and then nodded. "Teacher Hekatia, you are right, but..."

"Forget it, I know you have your concerns." Hecatia patted Lit's shoulder. "But, as my student, I won't allow you to be worse than anyone else, even in terms of snatching men."

"So, even if it's just for the sake of the teacher's face, you must get Orson back." Hecatia stared into Lit's eyes and said, "Even if you can't bear to make Orson hate Olivia, you must become the one Orson likes the most."

After Hekatia's guidance, Litt felt much better, and then looked at Hekatia gratefully and nodded.

"Teacher Hecatia, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

"That's good." Hecatia was satisfied upon seeing this.

"Okay, the class is almost over, and I'm going to go back to sleep." After saying this, Hecatia waved to Litt and left the classroom.

Leaving Lit standing there in a daze.

Back in her dormitory, Hecatia looked at Triss, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking coffee, and sighed helplessly.

"I basically did everything you arranged for me, but is it really a good idea to force the relationship between Li Te and Orson?"

"It's okay. You have to believe me. This will only benefit Lit and Orson." Triss said.

But Leeteuk's personality is that she should be a very introverted type. If we don't give her a push, she will miss Orson and she will regret it for the rest of her life."

"No matter what, an unbreakable bond has been established between them. In this case, what we can do is to make this bond tighter."

"But don't you think that doing this has exceeded our duties as teachers?" Hecatia asked.

“…Maybe.” Triss nodded. “But I don’t want our students to stagnate because of emotional problems.”

"Then shouldn't we cut off our relationship?"

"Do you think it's possible? Even someone as strong as Alice-sama couldn't get rid of human emotions, so how could anyone else do it?"

"Okay..." Hecatia sighed.
