The window wasn't shut tight. A strong wind, thick with muggy heat, blasted against his face.
Yuan Shimo stood silently, as if he had been transported back to a short time ago.
The dim, cold study.
He was standing before a wide, sandalwood desk.
Du Yushan sat behind the desk, trying to persuade the person on the other end of the call.
"No one could have expected the system to suddenly have an issue. It must have been those two extra Beast Husbands that caused the system to malfunction. That's why it chose Shimo instead of Shiyao."
"...Actually, I've been meaning to introduce you to my older son for a while now. While Shimo's Superpower can't compare to his younger brother's, he's a truly good kid—filial, obedient, and gentle. He's been studying how to be a good Beast Husband since he was eighteen..."
Since he could remember, this was the first time Yuan Shimo had heard his father address him so intimately.
It was also the first time he had ever heard his father praise him.
