When Happy, It Spins; When Unhappy, It Goes Wild

Throughout the whole process, Lu Mi discovered something interesting.

The Bean Sprout on Yu Tu's head was closely tied to his hidden emotions.

He held Yu Tu in his arms and observed the Bean Sprout's reactions.

When Yu Tu was shy, the Bean Sprout swayed only slightly, like a tiny wave.

When Yu Tu was excited, the Bean Sprout turned into raging waves.

When Yu Tu coaxed him, the Bean Sprout used the tip of its vine to nuzzle his face ingratiatingly.

When Yu Tu cried, the Bean Sprout became frantic.

It pressed itself against Yu Tu's white hair, occasionally wriggling up like a little earthworm.

When Yu Tu was angry, the Bean Sprout stiffened completely!

When Yu Tu had no strength left, the Bean Sprout drooped listlessly.

With one arm around Yu Tu's waist, Lu Mi reached out and tugged at the tip of the Bean Sprout's vine.

"Baby, how did such a cute little thing suddenly grow out of your head?"

Yu Tu raised a hand and pulled the Bean Sprout right off.

The moment it left his head, the Bean Sprout shattered into nothingness.

Another one immediately sprouted from Yu Tu's head.

Yu Tu thought for a moment, looking somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know either..."

Yu Tu's voice was soft and weak.

"I don't know what happened. When I opened my eyes, I had become a prisoner.

I was locked in a pitch-black place where I couldn't see even a trace of light. I was a little scared."

Lu Mi held Yu Tu a little tighter.

Yu Tu rubbed his face against Lu Mi's.

"I didn't dare show how scared I was, so I kept a cold face, but inside, I was panicking to death.

But that... seemed to work really well... They were all afraid of me.

Later, when I learned my identity, I dared even less to show that I was afraid.

Then one night, this suddenly grew out of my head."

Yu Tu fiddled with the tip of the vine.

"It's not like me. It doesn't need to keep a straight face. When it's happy, it spins in circles; when it's unhappy, it goes wild."

Yu Tu let go, and the tip of the vine immediately moved to Lu Mi's face, pressing against it again and again.

Yu Tu's cheeks reddened slightly. "It likes you a lot because it takes after me."

Lu Mi held Yu Tu without speaking.

His face was cold.

After Yu Tu had been convicted, he must have felt utterly helpless and lost.

That was why he had unconsciously created the Bean Sprout, something that could help him express his emotions.

Suddenly, there was a sharp smack.

Yu Tu heavily slapped both hands against Lu Mi's face.

Then he squeezed hard toward the middle, forcibly turning the icy warden of First Prison into a pouty-lipped expression.

Lu Mi: "..."

Bold!!!!

"Oh, right, Warden Lu! This is my secret. You absolutely can't tell anyone else!"

Yu Tu said seriously,

"Otherwise, I won't be able to scare them anymore!"

Lu Mi: "..."

Damn it!!!!

Why had that old bastard become so cute?

With a dark expression, Lu Mi pulled Yu Tu's hands down and straightened his prison uniform.

"If you want me not to tell anyone, fine. You have to agree to one thing."

"What?"

"Something isn't right with your body. You need to obediently come with me to see someone. If necessary, you might have to undergo examinations as he requests."

"What kind of examinations? Do I have to take off my clothes? If I do, can I show only you? I don't want anyone else to see."

"..." Lu Mi stood up. "The person I'm taking you to see is a proper pharmacist. You won't need to take off your clothes."

"Oh, okay."

The Bean Sprout drooped limply.

Lu Mi raised a hand and pulled it off.

"Stay put.

His health isn't very good. I need his permission before bringing you to see him."
