The furnishings of the room were very strange to him.

It wasn’t Brother Rabbit who was cuddled in his arms at all––it was the opposite color of Brother Rabbit, and more than one size bigger!

Wu Jin bounced up with a swish and his brain, which hadn’t been running, finally started operating again.

Last night.

He’d gone to find big brother to play.

And then… and then and then and then….

Wu Jin stretched out his hand in a daze and gently stuck it against the side of his neck.

He couldn’t find any wounds.

He dashed to the washroom with another swish––there was still a faint layer of mist left in the bathroom. That familiar aggressive scent was still caught in the condensation, and it seemed that someone had just finished taking a bath.

Wu Jin squeakily wiped the mirror clean and tilted his head left and right to look.

There was no trace of the bite from his memory.

After getting back into bed, Wu Jin’s brain was full of confusion. The black cat rumbled as it rolled around, placing its paw on Wu Jin’s hand and signaling for him to stroke its fur.

Wu Jin mechanically stroked the cat. There seemed to be a serious problem with his memory.

Yesterday, the black cat had fought tooth and nail with him, and today, it was sticky and malleable like a fake cat.

As for big brother… he must have been dreaming…

The door creaked open.

The rabbit spirit on the bed stiffened, and the sweat on his hands turned the originally dry black cat into a wet strip of cat.

Wei Shi glanced at him calmly and placed breakfast on the table.

Wu Jin jumped out of bed with a plop, following the fragrance to sit down obediently at the table. His heart was anxious with unspoken thoughts, but he didn’t dare open his mouth and speak.

The tray held one person’s portion of preserved egg congee, fried dumplings, an egg yolk bun, and soymilk.

A printed note with the words ‘176cm, 61kg. Nutritious Meal Group B’ was pinned down beneath the white congee bowl.

Wu Jin’s small curls bounced up in a flash.

Big boss had specifically brought this over…!

When Wei Shi saw the rabbit spirit staring over foolishly, he moved the tray to the other side of the table.

Wu Jin’s gaze immediately snuck over and followed the tray.

Wei Shi pushed the tray back.

Wu Jin’s gaze skittered back.

“……” Wei Shi took out a disposable thermometer from the drawer, “Come here.”

36.3 &#k2103;, normal temperature with no signs of infection. Wei Shi gestured for Wu Jin to raise up his chin and glanced at the youth’s pale, porcelain neck.

Wu Jin froze.

The memories from last night rushed in. He had really been bitten once on the neck&#k2026;.

Wei Shi raised his eyebrows and pushed the tray towards Wu Jin. No fever, no infection. He’d just turned silly from counting rabbits and could still be saved.

The man poured himself a glass of water and swallowed the two capsules in his hand.

Wu Jin quickly retrieved his gaze. The information in his mind swiftly linked together.

Treatment, emotional instability period, four hours, taking medicine, a normal big boss, a not-so-normal big boss…

Was big brother ill?

Wu Jin’s eyebrows jumped up. In his mind, big brother was someone who could do anything and knew almost everything about him––but he knew very little about big brother.

Wu Jin sat down across from Wei Shi.

The rabbit spirit at the dining table shrunk his head and hunched his shoulders, the little spoon in his hand moving as if he were an undercharged mechanical rabbit, but his eating speed was still extremely swift.

“I’ll take you back to the training base.” Wei Shi looked at his terminal as he spoke.

Wu Jin followed behind Wei Shi. He wanted to speak but swallowed the words back down several times. When the suspension car came through the fog and stopped at the door, Wu Jin finally realized that the place Wei Shi lived in was located at the highest point of the entire Floating City.

The Floating City military base spiraled down the entire hillside, like a star-studded lighthouse in the fog.

Wei Shi opened the passenger door for him and watched as the rabbit spirit climbed in obediently before turning to start the car.

The bright morning light streamed through the window, outlining the man’s cold profile and casting his eyes in deep, heavy shadows.

Wu Jin suddenly remembered that when the big boss had driven over to pick him up last time, he had deliberately opened the passenger door and waited for him to enter first––

Wei Shi turned sideways abruptly and used the seat belt to firmly secure the rabbit spirit.

Wu Jin shrank back subconsciously.

Wei Shi shifted and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Afraid?”

“!!!” Wu Jin said, “N, n, no… Thank you, big brother…”

Wei Shi nodded, satisfied.

The suspension car shuttled through the morning wind, coming to a slow stop in front of the base.

When getting out of the car, Wu Jin wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but it seemed that the big boss’s gaze skimmed lightly over his neck. However, what Wu Jin noticed was another detail––

A strip of white tablets was exposed near Wei Shi’s driver’s seat.

‘MHCC mind calming agent’.

Wei Shi dropped the rabbit spirit off at the entrance of the base. Wu Jin raised his small round face and waved after he got out of the car, and his movements suddenly paused after a while.

It was a little like waving goodbye to his parents in front of the kindergarten…

It wasn’t yet 7AM, and most of the students were still asleep in their dorms. Wu Jin spread his hands, revealing the recovery agents the big boss had given him. They looked small and exquisite all piled up together.

He pushed open the gate to the training base and entered training room A073––then quickly flipped open his terminal and typed rapidly into the search bar.

‘Emotional instability period’––an illness, or the side effects of a drug. Hormonal imbalance, partial extreme emotional amplification, companionship recommended.

‘MHCC mind calming agent’––

The search results all came up empty.

Wu Jin even switched between several search engines and only found a single result in a certain fee-based terminology library.

‘MHCC mind calming agent. Banned drug. Federal sales suspended in 3012.’

Wu Jin stilled.

At this time, a rhythmic knock came from outside the training room.

Wu Jin opened the door and saw a person holding a guinea pig standing outside.

Wu Jin immediately greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Law Enforcement Marshal.”

Mao Dongqing handed Wu Jin a packing bag, “Arjun asked me to give this to you along with his apologies.”

Wu Jin’s eyes opened wide, “What…”

Mao Dongqing shook his head and didn’t explain. He turned to leave.

Wu Jin’s right hand was stuffed into his pocket. He rubbed his fingers against the recovery agent that the big boss had given him. After hesitating for a long time, he finally worked up the courage to say, “Mr. Law Enforcement Marshal, I have a question!”

He wasn’t familiar with the 4th Law Enforcement Marshal of Floating City, but Wu Jin was determined to learn the answers to the questions that he couldn’t find any information on elsewhere.

Mao Dongqing slowly looked back, and the guinea pig in his hand also turned to look at Wu Jin. He paused for a moment and finally nodded, “Let’s talk in the back.”

The morning air at the base was a little cool. Behind the training rooms was a small garden that exuded the light fragrance of white orchids.

As Mao Dongqing had expected, Wu Jin asked about Wei Shi’s treatment.

“Genetic repair.” Floating City’s law enforcement marshal concealed the details and replied simply, “There are six courses of treatment that are used to restore the abandoned bodily functions, the most important of which are emotion and sensory perception.”

Wu Jin was shocked, “Emotions? What’s the cause of this illness?”

Mao Dongqing: “I can’t tell you too much, but you’ll have a chance to learn more later. The treatment process itself consists of an emotional amplification process, magnifying joy, disgust, desire, hunger, and anxiety.”

Wu Jin, who was going back through his memories suddenly realized, “Hunger…”

Mao Dongqing gave him a thoughtful look.

The two of them walked all the way to the end of the garden.

Mr. Law Enforcement Marshal glanced at his terminal. Just when Wu Jin thought that he was about to leave, Mao Dongqing suddenly handed over the guinea pig. “Do you want to hold him for a moment?”

Wu Jin was surprised and nodded repeatedly.

The guinea pig was taken back before it warmed his embrace. It turned out that it was really just ‘a moment’. Mao Dongqing remained expressionless throughout, and it seemed that the only way for him to express his friendliness was to lend out his guinea pig.

The man gradually disappeared into the fog. Wu Jin sighed lightly. Mr. Big Mao… was really quite different from Red.

Eight o’clock.

The bell rang at the base.

Zoe was full of energy again after a full night’s sleep. He picked Wu Jin out from the crowd and said emotionally, “Little Witch slept really deeply last night. I knocked on the door several times, but you didn’t hear me.”

Wu Jin’s ears were a little red behind his mask, and he could only squirm and nod.

The theory instructor was late, as usual.

Wu Jin continued to enter searches into his terminal and was caught off guard when Zoe looked over with concern.

“Gifts? Who is Little Witch giving presents to?”

Wu Jin hurriedly explained, “A friend.” He immediately thought of Zoe’s broad knowledge base and asked, “Zoe, is there any gift that can be given to people who are easily… hungry?”

Zoe looked like he was looking at a fool, “Food.”

Wu Jin quickly shook his head. His right hand subconsciously reached up to touch the wound on his neck that no longer existed, “… It would be best if it could be used to grind teeth on.”

Zoe: “Baby chew toy?”

Wu Jin added, “An adult!”

Zoe clicked his tongue, “There are still adults who use baby milk chew bars for their teeth grinding in this day and age.”

Wu Jin puffed up his cheeks angrily and finally ordered a series of snack packs with things like nuts, hard candy, small steamed buns, and so on.

Zoe sighed, “They must really be a child, to eat so much. However, our Little Witch is still growing.”

After placing an order on the Star Net, the terminal would jump back to the original home page. Due to switching through different search engines so many times, Wu Jin’s home page had been hijacked by some cluttered website that pushed out a series of messy content notifications based on his previous search history.

Zoe looked over in unspoken understanding. A while later, he finally spoke, “How come there aren’t any pop-up ads?”

Wu Jin: “What pop-up ads…”

Zoe: “… Little Witch, could it be that you don’t usually… cough…”

Wu Jin’s expression was blank.

Zoe patted him on the shoulder, “Can’t find the materials? I’ll send you some later. Oh, and Caesar too… Caesar saved up 600PB. He could die from having too much sex and still not finish watching it all. He’s really got a hamster brain.”

Zoe glanced over Wu Jin’s home page notifications as he spoke and was taken by surprise by a search related alert.

<Young Emperor’s Secret Love: I became his mysterious fiance> Chapter 1007 released.

Chapter synopsis: On the second day of the dance, the king became drunk and forced me to take off his mask. A burning kiss fell on my cheek. I shouted ‘no’, but he threw me onto the bed and asked me if I loved him or the second marshal, or the third marshal, or the fourth marshal… please pay to continue reading.

Wu Jin: “……”

Zoe: “……”

Wu Jin tried to explain, “It’s not me, I didn’t, I haven’t, it’s impossible––”

Zoe was silent for a long time. He finally thought about it and said, “Little Witch, it’s no big deal for boys to like reading things like this. I promise not to tell anyone if it makes you feel embarrassed.”

Wu Jin’s eyes widened in despair.
