Part 3
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped; he felt a bit afraid.
He had rejected Prince Elvis, so the person coming to see him at this time…
He frowned slightly.
Under the worried gazes of his roommates, he said, “You guys go on ahead.”
Yu Feiwen and the others looked at each other and nodded.
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath and walked toward the office.
With every step, his heart grew heavier. How was he supposed to talk to Madame Yun?
He felt the baby in its second form move restlessly again.
For a moment, he wondered: if he gave birth to this child, who would such a restless baby take after?
Who would the other one take after?
Him? Or…
The Prince?
The one in its second form should take after the Prince more, while the human-form baby should look more like him, right?
Wait, what exactly was the Prince’s second form?
He should ask if he got the chance.
No, was he really going to give birth to these two babies?
By the time he snapped out of it, he was already at the office.
Thinking of the person he was about to meet, his fingers began to shake.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
A teacher’s gentle voice came from inside: “Come in.”
He pushed the door open.
Inside was his homeroom teacher and Madame Yun. Her hair was styled up with two long, curled locks framing her face; her lips were bright red, and she wore a dark red dress. Her skin was incredibly fair.
Madame Yun looked up, and their eyes met.
One had to admit she was a very beautiful woman.
In Yun Yingzhi’s memory, she was always perfectly groomed. She felt like a rose covered in thorns—stunningly beautiful, yet prickly and piercingly cold.
The teacher smiled and said, “Yingzhi, your mother was worried about your studies and came to ask about your situation.”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped. He respectfully greeted, “Mother.”
Madame Yun gave a cold “mm” and said, “Yingzhi, come take a walk with me.”
“Yes, Mother.”
He politely said goodbye to the teacher and walked out with her.
Outside, he looked at her cautiously as he led her through the academy.
Even now, his heart was a mix of anticipation and apprehension. While uneasy, he sincerely hoped his mother would care for him more.
It was class time, but some students could still be seen around.
He wanted to say something to her. “Mother, look here. This place is…”
“Yun Yingzhi.”
He forced a smile. “Mother, I…”
“Did you talk to Prince Elvis about the matter I asked you to?”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. “No, Mom—Mother, I…”
She stopped walking and looked him in the eye. “Did you?” Her voice was freezing.
“…” He didn’t dare speak.
Her voice grew louder. “I asked you, did you speak to the Prince?”
Tears wetted his eyelashes. He lowered his voice. “No.”
“Then, did you speak to Wei Yuanqing?”
“…”
“Yun Yingzhi, I am asking you, did you?”
He took a deep breath. “…I didn’t.”
She sneered. “So, you are defying me?”
“No, Mother, I just feel…”
“Yun Yingzhi, the Yun family raised you. Is this how you treat your mother?” As she spoke, she raised her hand high, as if to strike him.
He trembled and instinctively closed his eyes.
At that moment, he had only one thought: he didn’t want to be here.
He didn’t want to be here.
He didn’t want to face her or be hit by her.
But he didn’t dare resist. If he dodged, she would only get angrier. He didn’t want to make her more upset.
He really wanted to escape.
So much.
In that instant, he felt…
He felt a stir in his belly. One of the cubs inside was truly restless, naughty, and active.
He clearly couldn’t communicate with them, yet at that moment…
He felt it vividly. A pulse of energy spread from his abdomen, sweeping through his entire body.
By the time he realized what was happening, spatial fluctuations had enveloped him, performing a space jump.
His eyes widened in confusion.
He turned and looked around.
Fanse Academy had a bell tower that rang every hour. It was the tallest building on campus and the closest to the sky.
The spatial fluctuation had brought him to the top of the bell tower.
Above was the blue sky; looking down, he could see most of the academy.
He instinctively placed a hand on his stomach.
Should he expect nothing less from the powerful Royal genes? Even before being born, they had already awakened space abilities and used their instincts to perform a space jump for him?
He thought inappropriately: raising two cubs would likely be very expensive. If he really ran out of money, could he earn some by using them to help students with space abilities escape the academy?
As if in response, the tiny life moved against his skin, telling him it was growing healthily.
The little one had unconsciously taken him through a space jump…
No, perhaps it wasn’t unconscious. The baby must have felt his desire to escape that area and brought him somewhere else.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, one of the cubs had brought him to the bell tower.
Here, the sky was clear and vast, as if telling him how wide the world was.
Looking down, everyone seemed very small.
His personal terminal pinged; it was a message from Yun Yinghui.
His brother was so busy, yet he still cared for him amidst everything.
Yun Yingzhi hesitated and rejected the call; he didn’t want his brother to see him crying.
He sent a message instead: “I’m fine.”
He also received private messages from Elvis, Wei Yuanqing, and others. They were saying goodbye; they were leaving.
He also got a message from Yun Yingyao, which made him sigh in relief.
She told him not to worry—she would follow the team and wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
She added: “Brother is coming soon. No matter what happens, Brother is here.”
The terminal kept pinging with notifications. Madame Yun was trying to contact him, as was his teacher.
Yun Yingzhi gazed into the distance.
The cubs were particularly lively today, moving around constantly.
He thought: if they were this active before birth, what would they be like once they were born?
Suddenly, he realized that in his thoughts, he had never once considered the option of not having them. Instead…
He wanted to keep them.
He knew Yun Yinghui didn’t agree with him keeping the two cubs, but he wanted to.
With trembling hands, he opened his chat with Yun Yinghui.
He hesitantly typed line after line, then deleted them.
It wasn’t until the sky was completely dark that his stomach let out a protest.
He was hungry—extremely hungry.
At this moment, he felt he could eat a hundred cows.
Yun Yingzhi sent a private message to Yun Yinghui: [Brother, I want to keep the babies.]
