GRMFBS CH102

Zhan Yan, with trembling fingers, tapped the search bar and began to search frantically:

[Zhan Yunkai fell in love with Ji Yueming at first sight on the Lantern Festival. To protect his wife, who he believed was an ordinary person, he decided to hide his identity to date and marry her.]

[Ji Yueming fell in love with Zhan Yunkai at first sight on the Lantern Festival. To fulfill her husband’s expectation of a normal life, she decided to hide her identity to date and marry him.]

The faint light of dawn shone through the cracks in the curtains into the room. Zhan Yan, who had been up all night, felt as if his brain had been put into a washing machine and spun dry for countless rounds.

He stared blankly at these two information threads.

The two masters fell in love at first sight, each put on a secret identity to date and marry, and had been acting for more than twenty years!

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

If their covers were blown…

Cover blown = identity exposed = discovering the other person is from a rival organization = becoming enemies or a tragic star-crossed love affair = family broken…

A knock suddenly came from the bedroom door. Zhan Yan jumped.

“Yanyan, are you up yet?” Zhan Yunkai’s energetic voice called through the door, waking him for morning exercises.

Zhan Yan struggled to get out of bed. His body was telling him he was exhausted and needed to sleep, but his brain was too excited, in a state of chaotic liveliness—not very functional, but sleep was forbidden.

No wonder his dad’s schedule was so formidable, no wonder his dad could run a long way holding eggs without blushing or panting and without breaking the eggs, no wonder his dad could smash a school desk with one slap, no wonder his dad always thought his physical fitness was poor…

Sob, Dad, I’m really just an ordinary person. Who can compare their physique to a Demon King?

Dad, your physique is so strong. If your cover is blown, will you be able to withstand Mom’s thunder magic?

Zhan Yan mournfully opened the door to wash up. Smelling the aroma of food from downstairs made him even sadder. Sob, if the family breaks up, he might never get to eat his dad’s cooking again! He might also never have his mom’s sweet hugs again.

He and his siblings were all adopted. In the future, they might become unwanted children… No, they weren’t children anymore. They couldn’t even act cute and spoiled to ease their parents’ relationship!

After washing his face, Zhan Yan looked up at his messy, curly-haired self in the mirror and patted his cheeks.

No, Zhan Yan, you have to pull yourself together!

Your brother and sister don’t know anything. It’s up to you to mediate your parents’ relationship!

Don’t be discouraged! The Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance have a bad relationship, but his parents have a foundation of more than twenty years of affection! This was a love that started with love at first sight and was sweet for over two decades! It can definitely be saved!

Zhan Yan held his head high, first giving himself a mental suggestion that he would definitely succeed, and then went downstairs with high spirits.

Zhan Jinli and Zhan Suiru hadn’t slept last night either. They were far from the Infinity Research Institute, so they didn’t know about the commotion there.

But the Chongming Demon King’s cry last night had traveled far. Being so close, there was clearly a big disturbance! The two of them immediately started investigating what had happened after returning to their rooms, and then they learned that the Tianshi had also caused a huge commotion last night.

However, the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau kept the news under tight wraps, and neither of them could find out what had actually happened.

This was very unsettling!

The two people, who hadn’t slept all night and were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, came downstairs and were startled by Zhan Yan’s dark circles.

“Yanyan, you didn’t sleep last night?” Zhan Suiru asked.

But looking at his high-spirited appearance, it didn’t seem like insomnia.

Zhan Jinli didn’t speak, but also stared at him with great concern.

Zhan Yan felt a warmth in his heart seeing his unsuspecting, ordinary human brother and sister.

He must protect this family!

“I’m fine, I was just too excited last night and didn’t sleep well,” Zhan Yan said.

Thinking about it carefully, the ones with a grudge were the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance, not the Tianshi and the Chongming Demon King!

As long as he could find a way to resolve the conflict between the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance, wouldn’t the conflict between his dad and mom be gone?

Although this was a very daunting task, he would definitely work hard to achieve it!

Zhan Yunkai and Ji Yueming, who had just arrived at the dining room: What’s with the dark circles yet energetic look?

The two still doted on their cub. Today’s morning exercise was canceled, and they urged Zhan Yan to go back to catch up on sleep.

Zhan Yan was even more moved and even more motivated.

Sob, Mom and Dad are so good! Don’t worry! I will definitely find a solution before your covers are blown!

Having scrolled through too many information threads last night, Zhan Yan’s sugar craving kicked in. He spotted the “Wealth and Prosperity” fondant cake on the table and asked, “Bro, this cake is edible, right? I’m going to break off a piece to eat.”

The fondant for the cake was a fixed recipe, leaving no room for his brother’s creative flair, so the sweetness level should be safe.

Seeing Zhan Jinli nod, Zhan Yan directly pulled off a peony flower, munching on it as he walked back to his bedroom. Mmm, as expected, it’s not too sweet! It’s just the taste of normal sugar! The texture is pretty good too!

What tragic star-crossed love, what Romeo and Juliet! Go away, go away! I only want sweet, sweet, sweet!

Zhan Yan, with his messy curls and dark circles, walked away full of fighting spirit, completely unaware that his family members exchanged worried glances behind his back and then held an emergency meeting.

Ji Yueming had just returned home last night and didn’t know much about the situation, so she was the first to ask, “Did Yanyan receive some kind of shock at school? Or did something happen?”

Zhan Yunkai, being stared at by his wife: …he wasn’t very clear either. His youngest son had been very normal these past few days since he came home… cough, at least he seemed normal on the surface. He had been waiting for his wife to come home these few days, so his attention on his youngest son was inevitably insufficient.

So he shifted his gaze to Zhan Suiru, “I came back late, did you notice anything?”

Zhan Suiru: …it’s definitely not a problem with his aesthetic taste! She’s not taking the blame for this!

She shifted her gaze to Zhan Jinli, “Bro, he’s asking you.”

He was the first person to have contact with Yanyan after he came back!

Zhan Jinli: …

Zhan Jinli took out his phone, typed silently, and then held it up for everyone to see:

“It might be because of his aesthetic taste.”

The two siblings started bickering again.

Ji Yueming: …

Zhan Yunkai: …

The couple sat at the dining table and picked off a peony flower to taste.

“The kids are unreliable, let’s just figure it out ourselves,” Ji Yueming took a bite of a petal. “Mmm, the sweetness is normal. At least Yanyan’s taste is fine.”

She handed the peony to Zhan Yunkai, “Want a taste?”

Zhan Yunkai took a bite from her hand. “Looks like he hasn’t been infected by his brother. Yanyan’s problem probably isn’t big. He was sleeping normally the past few days. After coming back, the only new addition to his exercise routine was square dancing.”

The bickering of the siblings served as their background music.

Zhan Suiru: “Hah, at your age, you still made Yanyan go to the cake shop to save you. Aren’t you ashamed? Huh? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Zhan Jinli typed on his phone as if playing “Flight of the Bumblebee.” An AI voice helped broadcast the text content for the argument: “Hah, I wonder whose artistic taste is so questionable that they even managed to warp Yanyan’s aesthetic sense.”

Ji Yueming and Zhan Yunkai took turns biting the fondant peony. “What kind of situation would make a person stay up all night and still be as excited as if they were on chicken blood?”

Zhan Yunkai, while chewing, moved closer and closer to his wife. “Playing games?”

Zhan Suiru, while arguing with her brother, still managed to find time to interject, “Impossible! Yanyan’s gaming skills are so bad, he could never get the experience of being excited for a whole night from a game!”

Zhan Jinli’s phone also typed out another possibility. The AI voice read out in a mechanical, flat tone, “Being in a relationship.”

The room suddenly fell silent.

“It’s not impossible…” Zhan Suiru murmured. “Last vacation, I already felt something was off when he went out to play later on.”

Zhan Jinli continued with the AI voice, “He told me he has experience in relationships.”

“Do you have any more specific clues?” Ji Yueming’s gaze sharpened instantly.

Zhan Yunkai’s gaze sharpened along with his wife’s. “Being in a relationship definitely involves dating. He was an extra in Ji Lele’s crew during the vacation. I’ll call and ask!”

Zhan Yan had no idea that in the end, it was Gu Jiancheng who took the fall for everything. He was currently scrolling through the forum.

After his brain cleared up a bit, Zhan Yan reorganized his tasks.

Easing the relationship between the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance was certainly important, but it couldn’t be done in a day or two. As long as he could ensure his parents’ secret identities weren’t exposed to each other, his family was safe for the time being.

He had to quickly level up his “Information Secrecy” skill and add his mom’s information to it!

Before that, he just needed to be careful in his daily life. His parents hadn’t had their covers blown for over twenty years, so there shouldn’t be a problem in the short term.

The most urgent matter right now was actually what happened yesterday when the Tianshi bombed the Infinity Research Institute.

Before, the Tianshi was just an idol he respected and felt close to. Zhan Yan wasn’t too worried about the aftermath of this incident. The great Tianshi could definitely handle everything!

But it was different now. The Tianshi was his mother. No matter how awesome his mother was, she was still his mom, his family. With such a big event, he couldn’t help but worry.

Zhan Yan decided to first review the situation from last night again.

Last night, the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau decided to transport the collected infinite fragments. After escorting the fragments to the Infinity Research Institute, the Tianshi destroyed all the fragments, including the “Apocalypse Fragment.”

The flash of lightning at that time was huge, and all parties reacted.

The first to react was the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. The people within the Bureau who supported collecting the infinite fragments were furious. This group was led by the 24-person council.

Mmm… not everyone in the council agreed with this matter.

The composition of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau’ 24-person council was quite complex. There were officials who had never been to the front lines, members who had retired from the front lines, and some people were the result of balancing with other traditional forces.

Their views were not entirely consistent. Some believed that anything related to infinity needed to be destroyed, or at least strictly regulated. Others believed that research on infinity could be conducted under safe conditions. Some believed that infinity was highly dangerous and required continued vigilance. Still others believed that infinity was a thing of the past and there was no need to be so timid.

This time, the people who wanted to collect the infinite fragments had gained the upper hand.

After the Tianshi took action, most of this group were confined in the suburban sacrificial ritual by the Great Dance of Joy. Many of them were found to have hidden contamination phenomena and were now under strict restriction.

There was another group who couldn’t be arranged into the Great Dance of Joy suburban sacrificial ritual in advance for various reasons. Because the high-ranking members were basically trapped in the suburban sacrifice, there was no one in this group who could make a final decision. They were then held up by the Bureau Chief for various reasons, so some time was delayed.

They rushed towards the Infinity Research Institute with their people, but were blocked by the Immovable Bright King of the Wan Yao Alliance just as they were about to arrive.

These people wanted to order the three team captains who went with them to attack. Black Wolf pretended not to hear, another one just made a half-hearted gesture, and the last one really wanted to be serious, but he couldn’t win the fight on his own!

Ahhh, Mom’s so popular! She even found a Demon King from the Wan Yao Alliance to help! So, not considering the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, Mom’s relationship with the Wan Yao Alliance isn’t that bad, right? Right!

Continue reading.

Ahhh, the Chongming Demon King also took action last night! Because they were worried that the aura stirred up when the infinite fragments were destroyed would attract evil spirits, they had discussed it in advance. As long as they felt the movement there, the Chongming Divine Bird would suppress the evil spirits with its cry.

Dad! Dad! Since you can cooperate with the Tianshi, this means that the Chongming Demon King and the Tianshi didn’t have any major grudges in the past, right!

Sob, this is so good, so good!

Zhan Yan danced wildly with joy.

Ahhh, Mom and Dad cooperated while still not knowing each other’s secret identities, and they cooperated so well! So happy, so happy!

Xingxing squatted on the pillow, watching Zhan Yan go crazy. It tilted its head and thought for a moment, then started to jump on the bed.

Oh yeah! Let’s be happy together
