TL: Moonlit

While Lin Chen and Mi Li were talking, they suddenly saw a staff member rushing over. “Both of you, come and take a look. One of the interns who came with you wants to form a contract.”

“What?” Lin Chen was startled and quickly asked, “Is it Lin Xing or Long Yan?”

“Sorry, we couldn’t recognize them either. It’s someone with white hair.”

“It’s Long Yan.” Mi Li instinctively looked at Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen wasn’t as panicked as Mi Li thought. “I understand. We’ll go over now. Thank you.”

“No problem, it’s our duty.”

Following the staff member, they saw Long Yan sitting under a tree with Lin Xing beside him, looking serious. When Lin Xing noticed them, he walked over and said, “Let’s go over there to talk.”

During the process of forming a contract, silence was required to avoid distracting the contract-maker.

As an SSS-class contract beastman, Lin Chen had no idea how Long Yan triggered the contract conditions.

The three of them moved to an empty space nearby. “Rest assured, though it’s a bit sudden, the contract beast is well-suited to him, or else it wouldn’t have directly triggered the contract formation.”

“What kind of contract beast is it?”

“It’s an SSS-class Azure Dragon beast, already an adult form. Long Yan said his family had been searching for a suitable contract beast for him for a long time, but with no results. Unexpectedly, they found one here, and when we just arrived, Long Yan felt a certain aura locking onto him. In other words, he was chosen by the other party.”

“Long Yan’s luck played a role here. Don’t worry, Chen Chen. Generally, when a contract beast actively chooses its partner, the chances of rejection are very low.”

“I know.” Lin Chen pursed his lips. Though he knew there was almost no danger, he couldn’t help but worry.

When they returned, Long Yan was still sitting under the tree. However, during the process, the originally pure aura gradually emanated a sense of dragon majesty. Two small bumps slightly protruded from his forehead, resembling young dragon horns. The pure white dragon horns were as translucent and delicate as jade, exuding a noble and sacred feeling just by looking at them.

Time passed by, and the forty minutes felt so long for the three waiting nearby.

When the dragon majesty around Long Yan subsided, he slowly opened his eyes. His crystal blue eyes, when they met Lin Chen’s gaze, transformed from coldness to gentleness. “Chen Chen.”

Lin Chen rushed over. “Are you okay?”

Carefully examining Long Yan, Lin Chen couldn’t resist touching his face, as if to confirm that everything was fine.

Long Yan smiled and let him touch, saying, “I’m fine now. I feel great.”

Relieved that Long Yan was indeed okay, Lin Chen finally relaxed. He reached out and touched the dragon horn on his forehead that hadn’t disappeared. “Can’t you retract it now?”

Long Yan’s body stiffened as Lin Chen’s tender and delicate touch grazed his dragon horn. A hint of unfamiliarity appeared in his eyes, and his ears inexplicably turned red. “My body hasn’t completely integrated with it, so I can’t retract it for the time being.”

“It’s pretty cute,” Lin Chen chuckled and wanted to touch it again but was stopped by Long Yan, who gently held his wrist and pulled it away. “If you want to touch it, can you do it later after we go back?”

Realizing what he meant, Lin Chen blushed and stammered, “Sure.”

Lin Xing and Mi Li, who didn’t want to disturb their conversation, watched as the two of them approached while holding hands. They asked, “How was it? How do you feel?”

“It feels great,” Long Yan patted Lin Xing’s shoulder and said, “Thank you.”

Although his consciousness wasn’t very clear just now, Long Yan still knew that Lin Xing had been protecting him from disturbance.

“Hey, why mention this? Isn’t it expected? But you should still go back and rest for today. In your current condition, you need to take a few days to recuperate and not tire yourself out too much.”

“It’s fine, there’s nothing much for me to do here anyway. I’ll wait for you guys. Tomorrow, I won’t come over. I feel like it will take three days for a perfect integration.”

“Don’t wait for us. Go back now.” Although Long Yan appeared perfectly fine, Lin Chen couldn’t help but worry about him.

Lin Xing also chimed in, “You should go back quickly; otherwise, Chen Chen will be unable to relax the entire day.”

“Alright then, I’ll leave first. Message me if anything comes up.”

After escorting Long Yan to the door and watching him leave, the three returned to their workstations.

The news of Long Yan’s successful contract made the entire Long family ecstatic.

Lin Su and William, upon hearing the news, were also thrilled for Long Yan.

Long Yan rested at home for three days, and the dragon horn on his forehead finally disappeared. When he and Lin Chen met, Lin Chen stared at his shiny forehead for a long time. “Can it still appear?”

Long Yan met Lin Chen’s hopeful gaze. “Yes, does Chen Chen wants to see it?”

Lin Chen nodded. “Is that possible?”

Long Yan held his hand. “Of course, you can see it for as long as you want.”

Noticing the lovey-dovey couple talking in hushed tones nearby, Lin Xing turned to look at Mi Li.

“Mi Li, come here for a moment.”

“What’s the matter?”

Although he didn’t understand why Lin Xing suddenly called him, Mi Li followed him behind the curtain.

As soon as they were inside, Mi Li was puzzled. “You called me in for…”

Before he could finish, he saw two red canine ears appearing in front of his eyes on Lin Xing’s head.

His black eyes suddenly brightened. “You…”

“Want to touch them?” Lin Xing pulled Mi Li, who was standing by the door, inside and sat down, making it easier for Mi Li to touch his ears.

A year ago, he successfully formed a contract, and since then, his fox cloak had taken on a complete form.

As Mi Li’s fingertips touched the soft canine ears, his heart instantly melted.

He gently pinched them with a smile, and the ears beneath his fingers felt warm and soft. When they quivered slightly, it seemed like his heart quivered with them. “So adorable.”

No female could resist a male’s animalistic form, especially when that male was the person they liked.

As the soft and delicate fingertips of the little female touched his sensitive ears, Lin Xing felt a bit ticklish. However, he didn’t shy away from Mi Li’s touch and finally understood why his male father wanted to keep his animalistic form for his female father alone. Probably because seeing the person he loved fascinated by his animalistic form brought a satisfaction from the depths of the heart that no one else could replace.

Mi Li was lost in Lin Xing’s canine ears, completely oblivious to the large, fluffy tail that had somehow appeared behind Lin Xing.

By the time he noticed, the furry, fluffy tail was already coiling around his waist, gently swaying.

Seeing the tail, Mi Li’s eyes brightened even more.

He reached out and gently touched the soft fur. “Xing Xing, your tail is so cute.”

Unable to resist, he hugged Lin Xing’s tail and rubbed his face against the tail, feeling its texture, which was unbelievably pleasant.

Lin Xing gently raised the corners of his lips; his animalistic form was indeed the cutest.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Long Yan made his disappearing dragon horns reappear, and Lin Chen smiled as he lightly touched them. “Is it sensitive?”

“At the beginning, it was a little sensitive, but it’s okay now. You can touch them.”

Not wanting to see Lin Chen disappointed, Long Yan smiled and held his hand against the dragon horns.

The texture he felt was softer than he had imagined, not like real jade but rather a slightly furry sensation, warm and pleasant to touch.

Although Yan Chen had always been influenced by William and had always wanted a fox, he suddenly realized that a pair of dragon horns like these also captivated his heart.

“Do you want to see my tail?” Suddenly hearing Long Yan speak, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. “Can I?”

He had never seen a dragon’s tail before and didn’t know what color it would be.

Long Yan smiled faintly and didn’t say much. A jade-green tail appeared in Lin Chen’s embrace, emitting a beautiful fluorescence from its diamond-shaped dragon scales. It exuded both a cold and vibrant charm, with a touch of elegance. At the tip of the tail, there was a small tuft of golden fur, making it look especially adorable.

Lin Chen carefully reached out to touch it and found the texture surprisingly pleasant. “Long Yan, you look so beautiful.”

If he were in his complete form, Long Yan would definitely be an exceptionally beautiful and majestic dragon.

Long Yan pulled him into his arms. “As long as you like it.”

In fact, he was a bit worried. Compared to a dragon, Lin Chen might prefer a fox. Seeing Lin Chen’s reaction to his animalistic form, he finally felt at ease. As long as Lin Chen didn’t dislike it, he was satisfied.

“I like it, of course. Actually, I think you look good no matter what you are.”

Long Yan gently bumped his forehead. “So, after graduation, do you want to be with me, Chen Chen?”

Facing Long Yan’s sudden question, Lin Chen’s cheeks turned red. They had already been close to each other for a long time, but this was the first time Long Yan had asked so directly. He knew that Long Yan wanted an accurate answer from him.

Lin Chen smiled and wrapped his arms around Long Yan’s neck, decisively nodding. “Okay!”

Seeing Lin Chen confirming their relationship, Long Yan’s smile became exceptionally radiant.

Already a handsome person, he now looked even more dazzling, as if he could emit light.

That evening, when they returned home, Lin Xing looked at Lin Chen, who was smiling foolishly with his head lowered, and asked, “What did Long Yan say to you? Why are you smiling so foolishly?”

Lin Chen looked up at him. “I’m not telling you.”

“Did he confess to you again, and you agreed?”

Lin Xing and Lin Chen had been close for a long time. As two people who grew up together, they understood each other better than anyone else.

Lin Chen blushed when asked so directly but nodded with a smile, “Yes, I agreed. It’s been so long, and I can’t keep him waiting any longer.”

Lin Xing chuckled lightly, “I could tell you didn’t want to keep him waiting.”

“What about you? Did Mi Li agree to be with you?”

“With Mi Li, there’s no need for such drama. We’ve already made it clear. You think Mi Li is like you?” He didn’t need to make him wait!

“You just happened to encounter a soft-hearted Mi Li. I’ll teach him a lesson another day.”

“Don’t corrupt him!”

“Let’s see how you perform.”

Lin Su watched the two young ones chattering away as they returned from outside. “What did you do today to be so happy?”

“Chen Chen agreed to be with Long Yan. They are together now, and you can’t imagine how beautiful it is!”

Lin Xing revealed the truth, and Lin Chen happily approached Lin Su, hugging him. “Female Father, you won’t object, will you?”

“Why would I object? As long as you both feel good and happy, your Male Father and I will support you unconditionally!”

That’s what Lin Su and William asked of the two young ones: not to achieve anything great, but to be happy and live their lives as they wished. That’s what Lin Su and William hoped to see.

Growing up in such an atmosphere, the two young ones had hearts filled with love and tenderness. Lin Su and William respected and loved them deeply.

However, as the two young ones were about to grow up, Lin Su couldn’t help feeling a little melancholic, knowing that his little ones would soon leave the nest.

Fortunately, William was always there for him.

William had no objections to the young ones’ decisions. One day, he called Lin Xing and Lin Chen separately into the study.

One after another, he had a conversation with both of them.

After coming out, the two young ones seemed a bit dazed.

Going downstairs and seeing Lin Su preparing dinner in the kitchen, Lin Xing ran over and said, “Female Father, just now, my Male Father and I divided our assets. He gave me a lot of things, but I didn’t want to accept them. He insisted that I sign the documents. Now, I’m a bit overwhelmed. I’ve never had this much money or so many assets before.”

Although he knew that their family conditions were excellent, he had never seen it so explicitly.

William gave him three mining stars, two travel stars, dozens of estates and properties, as well as over ten different types of functional spaceships, along with several billion in funds.

He felt his hands getting tired from just signing documents in the room.

Now that Lin Chen went in, he would also be signing for these things. In their family, he and Lin Chen were always treated equally. That meant whatever William gave him, Lin Chen would have an equal share.

He had never known that his Male Father was so wealthy.

Seeing the dazed expression on Lin Xing’s face, Lin Su chuckled and said, “I may not possess as much wealth as your Male Father, but I have also prepared something for you. Each of you will have a 5% stake in the Ai Su Group, and on top of that, 5 billion in funds for both of you. We’ll have the documents ready later for you and Chen Chen to sign.”

“No, Female Father, what are you and Male Father doing?”

Lin Xing was feeling quite panicked.

Lin Su smiled and looked at him, “Both you and Chen Chen will come of age soon. You’ll have your own little home after marriage, and that’s what being an adult means. After we divide our assets, your lives will be your own responsibility. Whether you want to spend these resources lavishly, invest, or do something else, it’s entirely up to you. However, rest assured that our doors will always be open for you.”

When Lin Chen came downstairs, he appeared as dazed as Lin Xing. However, before he could say anything, Lin Su presented his share for him to sign.

After both of them signed, they suddenly found themselves holding immense wealth.

“Female Father, what are you doing? Are you abandoning us?” The little female was always more sensitive than the little male.

Lin Su hugged Lin Chen, who was leaning in for a cuddle. “How could we ever abandon you? You will always be the children of your Female Father and Male Father. But now that you are growing up, you’ll have to start your own life, and these resources will eventually be given to you. We’re giving them to you now.”

“But it’s a bit too much.”

Though they knew their family conditions were good, they had never imagined it would be this good.

Lin Su rubbed Lin Chen’s little head, “You can take care of these resources yourself. If you don’t know how to manage them, you can seek professional help or learn how to handle them yourselves.”

“Let professionals handle it. Our ambitions, both mine and Chen Chen’s, don’t lie in this.”

“Then it’s up to you two to decide,” William said, coming down from upstairs. “You’ll have to arrange your own marriage and wedding, the family won’t help. And, Lin Xing, you’ll have to take care of your own wedding as well.”

William looked like a parent who had poured out a misbehaving child and couldn’t take him back. Finally, he had seen the two children grow up, and he could finally have his own time with his little female.

“Understood, Male Father. I can already feel your anticipation in my heart. Please bear with us for a few more days; we’re about to grow up.”

Hearing Lin Xing’s words, William showed no embarrassment. “Hmph, just knowing is enough!”

Lin Su chuckled and shook his head. “Alright, it’s time for dinner.”

Even with a large amount of assets for the two youngsters, it didn’t change anything. In the final stage of the entrance exams, the two of them became completely busy.

Lin Xing and Long Yan applied to the military academy, and they had additional survival tests. On the day they left for the exams, Lin Chen and Mi Li prepared a lot of food for them.

Looking at the large amount of stuff, Lin Xing couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “We’re going for an exam, at most, we’ll be back in a week. There’s no need to bring so much.”

“Take it with you, better to be prepared. I heard that the climate and environment there are particularly harsh; it might come in handy to bring more.”

Without hesitation, Lin Chen stuffed the two large packages into their arms. “Be careful over there and keep in touch at all times.”

Long Yan patted Lin Chen’s head and reassured him, “Rest assured, we’ll take good care of ourselves.”

Mi Li tugged on Lin Xing’s clothes, “You take care of yourself too, I’ll be waiting for you to come back.”

Facing such a gentle little female, Lin Xing almost didn’t want to leave anymore. But the decision he made was his principle as a person, and he had to stick to it no matter what.

After talking for a while, Lin Chen and Mi Li watched them board the spaceship and leave.

On the way back, Lin Chen and Mi Li remained silent for a long time. Finally, they both sighed, “Mi Li, why does a week feel so long?”

“I feel the same way. He’s just gone, and I already miss him a bit.”

After saying that, the two little females looked at each other, their eyes a little red.

Lin Chen put his arm around Mi Li’s shoulder, “We can’t be like this. Even if we miss them, we have to hold back. We can’t let them think that we can’t live without them. Let’s go home and study. We have to work hard to get into the schools we want.”

Encouraging each other, the atmosphere of sadness seemed to diminish slightly.

Long Yan and Lin Xing boarded the spaceship and arrived at the designated cabin provided for them. After closing the door and putting down their belongings, Lin Xing looked at Long Yan, “Do you feel like something is missing?”

Long Yan glanced at him, “Missing Chen Chen.”

“Missing Mi Li.”

After saying that, Lin Xing collapsed directly onto the bed, “Now I finally understand why my Male Father becomes possessive of my Female Father every time he comes back from a trip. Seeing both me and Lin Chen, he finds us annoying because he really misses him!”

Long Yan sat on a chair, and although he didn’t speak, he kept looking at the terminal, restraining the urge to message his little female.

Lin Xing turned his head to look at him, “Long Yan, how many children do you plan to have after marriage?”

Caught off guard by the question, Long Yan’s jaw tightened, “I don’t want any.”

Lin Xing nodded, “I don’t want any either. I want to spend some time alone with Mi Li before talking about children. Ah, I can understand my Male Father more and more now. Having children is really just an accident.”

Long Yan nodded.

Clearly, for him, having children was far less attractive than having Lin Chen.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Mi Li, who were working hard at home, had no idea that the two males were already having a conversation about offspring.

Lin Chen was going to apply for medical school, and the entrance exam was quite challenging, but fortunately, his usual academic performance was good.

After the final wash, Lin Chen finished bathing and came out, running into Lin Su. He greeted him, “Female Father, you’re still awake at this hour?”

Lin Su smiled and walked over, “The exam is tomorrow, right?”

“Yes.”

“How’s the preparation going?”

“It should be fine.”

“Don’t be nervous, just do your best to avoid any regrets. I’ll prepare lunch for you and Mi Li at the restaurant tomorrow. You can bring Mi Li along to have lunch there.”

“Alright.”

Lin Chen reached out and hugged Lin Su, asking, “Female Father, can I ask you a question?”

“What question?”

Lin Su smiled and ruffled the hair of his little female cub in his arms.

“When Male Father is on a business trip, do you also miss him a lot?”

“Why, are you missing Long Yan?”

Lin Chen didn’t hide it and nodded, “When we were little and separated, it was very sad. But this time is different from back then. I know he’ll be back when the time comes, yet I still can’t help but miss him.”

“That’s because you love him. It’s natural to have such concerns between two people in love. He misses you too when he’s away.”

Lin Chen smiled and said, “Although I miss him, it also feels sweet.”

“If you miss him, just send him a message. There’s no need to restrain yourself too much.”

“I know. It’s getting late, Female Father, you should rest early.”

“Okay.”

After talking with Lin Su, Lin Chen felt much more at ease. He sent a goodnight to Long Yan before going to sleep.

Mi Li was planning to apply to the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy, which had now been officially included in the Empire’s list of schools for higher education.

Apart from the cultural subjects, the exam also included practical tests in culinary skills.

After the written exams were over, Lin Chen and Mi Li met outside the examination hall.

“Where are you taking the practical exam this afternoon?”

“I’ll be taking it in the Xicheng District. It’s the cooking skills test. How about you?”

“I’ll be going to the Dongcheng District this afternoon for the purification and refinement basics exam. Hurry up, we can have lunch now and rest for an hour afterward.”

The two of them hurriedly arrived at the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant, where Su Jin had already prepared lunch for them.

Seeing them coming in, he smiled and asked, “How did the exams go? Everything smooth?”

“Grandpa Su Jin, we’re starving! We really want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs.”

“I’ve got it all ready, just help yourselves.” He gently hugged Lin Chen and Mi Li, “Go eat now, filling your stomachs is the key.”

As Lin Chen and Mi Li went inside to have their meal, the guests dining in the outer area noticed the scene and curiously said, “Oh, isn’t that the little female from the Lin Su Family? Is he about to come of age?”

“Forget about it. I heard he’s already with the Long Family’s little male. The Crown Prince and General Long have met each other privately.”

“It seems both families have agreed to this.”

“Oh, and the Crown Prince’s family also has a little male!”

“Forget about the little male too. The Crown Prince’s family has already arranged the future mates for both their little ones. The little female who just came in with them is the diplomatic envoy’s little one from the Mi Family. Their status and position are well-matched.”

“Well, I haven’t even started thinking about it, and it’s already out of the question.”

“Let’s just watch and not get any crooked ideas.”

Lin Chen and Mi Li entered the private room and saw the delicious dishes on the table. Lin Chen exclaimed and ran over, “Grandpa Su Jin is so thoughtful! He made so many delicious dishes. It would have been perfect if Long Yan and Xing Xing were here.”

Mi Li nodded lightly.

But they’ll be back soon. It’s been three days already, and in four more days, they’ll be back!
