Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC

Tu Bai was scolded by Zhongli Yueshui, taking a few steps back. His eyes were still fierce and locked onto Xue Danrong.

Xue Danrong was naturally startled by Tu Bai's angry shout. He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Tu Bai, and then lowered his gaze to Fang Chaozhu, who was sleeping next to him.

He raised his sleeve, revealing Fang Chaozhu's face completely. Due to illness, Fang Chaozhu's cheeks were flushed with two patches of red, like petals fallen on his face.

Xue Danrong's gaze shifted from Fang Chaozhu's face to the hand grabbing his clothes. Without much hesitation, he reached out and pulled his own clothes away.

However, to his surprise, as soon as the clothes were pulled away, Fang Chaozhu seemed to suddenly grab upwards because his hand was empty. With that grab, he caught Xue Danrong's pinky finger and ring finger.

"Enough, Danrong, you can go back today."

Zhongli Yueshui's voice echoed in the quiet room.

Xue Danrong slowly withdrew his hand and looked up at  Zhongli Yueshui. "Yes, I will come back tomorrow." He got up and walked out. When he passed by Tu Bai, Tu Bai's fur stood on end, and even a low growl came from its throat.

But Xue Danrong didn't even spare it a glance. It was as if Tu Bai didn't exist at all, and he left directly.

After Xue Danrong left, Zhongli Yueshui looked at the still sleeping Fang Chaozhu. He remained motionless for a long time until Tu Bai walked over, anxiously circling around Fang Chaozhu, and even rubbing its head against his arm while meowing incessantly. Only then did he react.

"Go and receive your punishment."

While speaking, Zhongli Yueshui got up and carried Fang Chaozhu, along with the blanket, in his arms. He carried the person out of the compartment, and Tu Bai followed. It let out a meow, its voice filled with extreme grievance, but Zhongli Yueshui didn't look at it. His gaze fell on the doorway.

After a while, Zhongli Yueshui carried Fang Chaozhu into the inner room and set up a barrier. Tu Bai couldn't enter and let out several mournful meows before turning around and leaving.

This illness far exceeded Zhongli Yueshui's expectations. By evening, Fang Chaozhu's body temperature had not decreased much. On the contrary, there were signs of it rising. When it was time for him to sleep as usual, Fang Chaozhu's body temperature suddenly dropped, the flush on his face receded, leaving behind a pale complexion.

After receiving the punishment, Tu Bai transformed back into a cat. Its fur lost its smoothness, and its movements became sluggish. Even when it tried to jump onto the stool, it slipped a bit.

It looked at Fang Chaozhu, who was placed on the bed by Zhongli Yueshui, and meowed several times.

Zhongli Yueshui stood by the bed, glanced at Tu Bai, and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "No."

Upon hearing this, Tu Bai's long tail swung back and forth restlessly, displaying extreme agitation. It kept meowing at Zhongli Yueshui, then jumped onto the bed and touched Fang Chaozhu's face with its cat face. After the contact, it raised its head and let out a fierce meow directed at Zhongli Yueshui.

This meow was clearly more aggressive than its previous ones.

Zhongli Yueshui's eyebrows remained furrowed. After a while, he leaned down and carried Fang Chaozhu out of the blanket. "He will sleep with me tonight. If you're worried, you can stay nearby."

Upon hearing these words, Tu Bai immediately jumped off the bed and closely followed Zhongli Yueshui's footsteps.

When Zhongli Yueshui put Fang Chaozhu on his own bed, Tu Bai also followed. It began scratching at Zhongli Yueshui's arm and meowing again. Zhongli Yueshui sighed silently, lay down on the bed, turned to the side, and embraced Fang Chaozhu in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Tu Bai let out a meow.

In the next moment, the blanket covered Zhongli Yueshui and Fang Chaozhu.

Tu Bai walked along the edge of the blanket and settled down above Fang Chaozhu's head. However, after a while, it extended its paw and gently patted Zhongli Yueshui's face.

Zhongli Yueshui, whose eyes had just closed, opened them again, displeased, as he looked at Tu Bai.

Tu Bai shrunk its body slightly but still let out a meow.

Zhongli Yueshui closed his eyes, lying flat and placing the child beside him on his body. Thus, they formed a big character shape, with Fang Chaozhu leaning on him, his head resting on Zhongli Yueshui's chest.

After a low rumble from Tu Bai, it finally quieted down.

Zhongli Yueshui closed his eyes again, but in the middle of the night, he opened them once more. He felt something moving slowly on his body.

In an instant, Zhongli Yueshui reached out, pressing down on something through the blanket. "What are you doing?"

The thing inside the blanket paused for a moment and then spoke in a pitiful voice, "Master, I'm hungry."

Fang Chaozhu woke up, awakened by hunger.

Upon waking up, he realized that he had been sleeping on top of Zhongli Yueshui and was almost frightened to death. After stabilizing himself, he tried to climb out, but he was grabbed before he could get far.

Fang Chaozhu looked at the Ling Water-boiled fish and rice on the table, pursed his lips, and held the jade chopsticks without moving for a while. Zhongli Yueshui, sitting beside him, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

"Master, I think I'll just eat fruit," Fang Chaozhu put down the jade chopsticks, intending to take out the new batch of spirit zong fruits from his storage ring. However, before he could retrieve them, his hand was caught.

"Why aren't you eating?" Zhongli Yueshui glanced at the dishes on the table.

Suddenly, Tu Bai meowed and extended its paw to touch the plate of fish.

Observing its actions, Zhongli Yueshui looked down at Fang Chaozhu and asked, "Tired of eating that? Then what do you want to eat?"

A plethora of delicious food options flashed through Fang Chaozhu's mind, but he still shook his head. "There's nothing specific I want to eat. I'll just stick to fruits."

Zhongli Yueshui observed his reaction and suddenly embraced Fang Chaozhu, stood up, and walked outside. When they reached the doorway, he also grabbed a cloak and wrapped Fang Chaozhu tightly, making sure he was fully covered except for his eyes and nose.

Perplexed by his actions, Fang Chaozhu asked, "Master, where are we going?"

However, Zhongli Yueshui didn't answer, just tightened the cloak around him even more. Except for his eyes and nose, Fang Chaozhu was completely concealed.

Then, they boarded a Golden-winged Bird. Fang Chaozhu only knew that the bird kept flying but had no idea where their destination was. They flew until it was bright outside, yet the Golden-winged Bird didn't stop.

Fang Chaozhu was starving and secretly took out a fruit from his storage ring. Afraid of being discovered, he nibbled on it silently. But as soon as he finished, a piece of cloth was stuffed into the cloak.

"Wipe your hands clean." Zhongli Yueshui's voice came from above his head. 

Fang Chaozhu paused for a moment, then took the cloth and wiped off the remaining juice from his hands.

When the Golden-winged Bird finally landed, Fang Chaozhu had no idea where they had arrived. All he knew was that the place was bustling with activity.

Zhongli Yueshui probably concealed them both, as no one around seemed to notice their arrival when the Golden-winged Bird landed. After landing, the bird transformed into a golden pendant that automatically hung around Zhongli Yueshui's waist.

Zhongli Yueshui carried Fang Chaozhu and walked forward. When they saw a restaurant, they entered.

As soon as they entered, someone approached them and greeted, "Guest, you're here really early. What would you like to eat? Our breakfast here is renowned as the best in the capital."

The capital?

Upon hearing these words, Fang Chaozhu couldn't help but stick his head out from the cloak. He carefully glanced outside the restaurant, but before he could see much, his head was pushed back in.

"Bring us all the breakfast items you have...," Zhongli Yueshui paused, his expression becoming somewhat hesitant.

Fortunately, the waiter was quick-witted. Seeing Zhongli Yueshui's handsome face and majestic presence, he seemed like an immortal, radiating an extraordinary aura. It was evident he didn't want to sit with other people, so the waiter said, “Do you want a private room? We have plenty of private rooms here, ensuring quietness and privacy. Please go upstairs, esteemed guest."

Once they reached the private room, the waiter closed the door and left. Fang Chaozhu once again poked his head out, looking towards the window, still finding it hard to believe that he had returned to the capital.

"Master, why have we come to the capital?" he asked.

"To eat," Zhongli Yueshui glanced at the window, and in the next instant, it closed automatically.

Fang Chaozhu was stunned for a moment. "But this is ordinary food from the mortal realm."

"With me here, what is there to fear?" Zhongli Yueshui's voice was calm. "Just eat."

And so Fang Chaozhu ate until he was full.

The breakfast at this restaurant was indeed exceptional, just as the waiter had claimed. Fang Chaozhu couldn't stop himself from eating. While the food in the cultivation world was good, it couldn't compare to the delicacies of the mortal realm. Mortal realm's cuisine, whether stir-fried, boiled, stewed, or deep-fried, had diverse ingredients. Since his arrival in this world, Fang Chaozhu hadn't had the opportunity to taste ordinary people's food. So this time, he couldn't control himself.

Lying in Zhongli Yueshui's embrace, Fang Chaozhu burped while taking another bite of the egg yolk pastry in his hand.

In the afternoon, Xue Danrong had just arrived at Zhongli Yueshui's courtyard when he heard murmuring voices and Zhongli Yueshui's reprimanding tone.

"If you can't finish it, why eat so much?"

Soon, someone responded, "It's the disciple being too greedy, causing trouble for the Master." The voice paused for a moment, and the whimpering sounds grew louder, as if accompanied by a hint of sobbing. "Master, my stomach hurts!"

Xue Danrong didn't hesitate and stood outside the room, calling out, "Master."

After a while, the door finally opened.

As soon as the door opened, Xue Danrong saw the young child being held in Zhongli Yueshui's arms. The person had changed into different clothes today, a shade of duck egg green, as if washed by water to reveal a refreshing green color. His little face was pale, and both hands touched his stomach. His jet-black eyes were watery, on the verge of tears.

Upon seeing Xue Danrong enter, Zhongli Yueshui raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "Danrong, you go to the adjacent room."

Xue Danrong didn't move and spoke in a calm tone, "Master, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhongli Yueshui lowered his gaze to the person sitting in his arms. "He ate too much, and even the Digestion Pill was of no use. Now he has a stomachache... perhaps it will pass in a while."

"If the Master doesn't mind, why not let me take care of him? Maybe I can relieve his stomach pain," Xue Danrong suggested.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Yueshui looked up at Xue Danrong. "Do you have a way? What kind of method?"

Xue Danrong's expression remained calm. "Disciple can't guarantee anything, but I can try."

Zhongli Yueshui fell silent for a moment before saying, "Then come over."

As soon as those words were spoken, the white tea-colored cat crouching at his feet leaped up, but after only two meows, it was sealed inside a barrier by Zhongli Yueshui. No matter how it hissed and struggled, it couldn't escape the barrier and could only watch as Xue Danrong lifted the person from Zhongli Yueshui's leg.

Xue Danrong held the person on his own leg, allowing them to sit against his chest, before he moved to unbutton Fang Chaozhu's upper garment and expose his belly. However, when he saw the clearly protruding stomach, his gaze paused for a moment.

Meanwhile, Zhongli Yueshui, who was nearby, raised his hand to his forehead and turned his face slightly away.

As for the owner of the stomach—

Fang Chaozhu felt very embarrassed as he grabbed his own shirt, trying to cover his belly.

But as soon as he covered his belly, a jade-white hand also touched his stomach.

That hand felt slightly cold.
