"It’s fine, as long as you can eat, it’s a good thing." Jesse waved his hand with a smile, "I know you went to buy honey today. Thank you for taking Tiantian with you. As for Yuri, if possible, I hope you can help me keep Tiantian from contacting that person."
"Right! I told you that person is annoying. She looks at little Tianmiao in such a creepy way." Fei’er nodded vigorously upon hearing Jesse’s words.
Jesse laughed, "Fei’er is smart, thank you."
Fei’er smiled, "Yeah, I’ve always been clever. I can see a person’s nature at a glance, whether they’re good or bad."
"Then you’re just like Jesse. Jesse can do that too," Tianmiao said.
"Really?" Fei’er exclaimed, staring at Jesse with interest.
"Otherwise, why do you think you were able to move in? We just met, so why would we let you live here?" Jesse chuckled, "Your eyes are very pure. I can see that."
"Then, did you also see that Yuri isn’t good? What about the butcher boss?" Fei’er asked curiously.
"Yuri doesn’t genuinely love Tiantian, but you do. As for the butcher boss, Tiantian would describe him as ’don’t judge a book by its cover.’ Even though the boss looks fierce, he’s actually very nice." Jesse explained.
"How fascinating. People..." Fei’er was about to say she found it amazing that humans have such intuition, but caught herself and didn’t finish.
Tianmiao glanced at Jesse, understanding clearly that his sharp intuition is due to his lineage. The mutation should be emerging soon.
Jesse still went to ’work’ every day, while Fei’er and Tianmiao experimented with cooking at home.
Tianmiao discovered that Fei’er has a remarkable talent for cooking. Whatever she taught, Fei’er quickly grasped and executed. This delighted Tianmiao; having someone skilled in cooking around was truly a blessing.
Every day, Jesse returned home, seeing the dimly lit lamp at the entrance not far away, feeling especially warm inside. He finally had a family, someone waiting for him to come home every day. As soon as he got home, he could enjoy delicious food. This feeling was genuinely wonderful, truly wonderful.
Life passed by in such warmth, yet on this day, an incident occurred.
A guard came to Jesse’s house, looking worried, and found Tianmiao to deliver some bad news.
There was a situation on the western outskirts of town, and the group Jesse was part of went to investigate but hadn’t returned yet. The mayor deployed additional manpower and personally went to investigate. However, they still hadn’t found Jesse’s group.
"Take me there." Tianmiao stood up.
"This... is too dangerous. You’d better wait at home for news. I came to tell you because I was worried you’d be anxious and go out looking since Jesse hadn’t returned so late. Please wait at home; I’ll come to notify you as soon as I have news." The guard said hurriedly and then left.
Tianmiao stood at the door, watching as the sky grew darker. Turning to Fei’er, she said, "Fei’er, let’s go find Jesse."
"Alright, I’ll take you." Fei’er scooped up Tianmiao, closed the door, and dashed into the night.
Fei’er ran swiftly, the wind rushing past her ears. She glanced nervously at Tianmiao in her arms, fearing she’d ask why Fei’er could run so fast, but saw Tianmiao merely looking calmly ahead.
"Little Tianmiao, don’t worry, Jesse will be fine." Fei’er reassured.
"Yeah, he will be fine," Tianmiao said softly, her tone firm.
Jesse wouldn’t be harmed; rather, because of today’s events, he would awaken the power in his bloodline. This was his first step to becoming the strongest in this world.
