Chapter 157

Extra: Little Hatchling Transformation! Part 4

With nothing else to do, Shan Ming, feeling idle, started dressing up the little hatchling after coming home. He would change Shen Changze’s clothes, take a series of photos, and repeat the process with each outfit. He busied himself with joy.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Shen Changze angrily exclaimed, “Have you played enough yet?!”

Shan Ming smirked with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and replied, “Not even close.”

The little hatchling curled up like a golden bun, hiding under the blanket. “Enough, I’m tired. I don’t want to play anymore.”

Shan Ming chuckled and said, “Come on, Dad hasn’t played enough yet. Let’s take a few more photos, so you won’t forget later. Come, give me a smile.” Shan Ming reached out to gently rub Shen Changze’s face.

The little hatchling grabbed his hand and fiercely bit down on his finger, its eyes filled with anger.

Even though it only had baby teeth, the bite still stung a bit. However, the pain was similar to when small animals playfully nibble on people’s hands. Shan Ming pressed his finger against the dragon’s gums, playfully teasing its soft tongue.

Dad, take me with you,” the little hatchling tightly wrapped his tail around Shan Ming’s wrist.

So Shan Ming held the little hatchling with one arm, and then went to open the door.

At the door stood Ayer, wearing a cautious expression, and Tang Tingzhi, who appeared calm.

Upon seeing Tang Tingzhi, Shan Ming’s face immediately turned sour. “You still dare to come and see me?”

Tang Tingzhi nodded. “Yes. Ayer said he would take responsibility for protecting me.”

Shan Ming raised his fist and waved it toward Tang Tingzhi’s beautiful face. “You really deserve a good beating.”

Ayer gently patted Shan Ming’s fist. “Let it go, bro. We came here to pick you guys up, to help Shen Changze return to his original state.”

Shan Ming let out a cold snort. “I’m not going back. I think he’s fine the way he is now. We can talk about it later,” he said firmly, preparing to kick the door shut.

Now all three of them became anxious. Tang Tingzhi quickly grabbed hold of the door, looking slightly panicked. “That won’t do. We must restore him as soon as possible.”

The little hatchling in Shan Ming’s arms desperately wriggled its body. “Dad, are you crazy? I want to change back immediately.”

Shan Ming stared at them and said, “Doing whatever you want to my son… have you even considered my opinion? This time, I won’t let you take him back. Shen Changze, listen carefully, if you go with them, don’t bother coming back to see me again.”

Shen Changze looked at Shan Ming with a bewildered expression. “Dad, what’s gotten into you?”

Ayer furrowed his brow and said, “Shan, what do you mean by this?”

Sweat appeared on Tang Tingzhi’s forehead, and he said, “Mr. Shan, why are you reacting like this? Do you want him to remain like this forever?”

“What I want for him, does it hold any value or relevance to you?”

Tang Tingzhi blinked his eyes and quickly regained his composure. “If you have any thoughts or ideas, please share them.”

Shan Ming patted the back of the little hatchling and said, “This is my son, Shan Ming’s son. He is not some experimental subject for you to manipulate as you please. From now on, if you want to conduct any experiments on him, you must have my consent. Otherwise, I will take him away. Whether my son would go with me or stay here to play with you, it’s quite obvious right?”

This time it was just a transformation into a child, but what about the next time? If Shen Changze continues to be used for experiments without respite, what if it leads to irreversible damage one day? Who will bear the consequences then? Shan Ming will never allow Shen Changze to participate in such high-risk experiments in the future.

The little hatchling held onto Shan Ming’s shirt tightly and remained silent for a moment. Then, he said to Tang Tingzhi, “Just agree to my dad.”

Tang Tingzhi sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, I promise.”

“It’s not enough to just promise. Go draft an agreement. From now on, for every experiment, both Shen Changze and I need to sign the agreement before it can proceed.”

Tang Tingzhi nodded and said, “Alright, come back to our base with us first. His condition shouldn’t be delayed any longer. After we return, we’ll sign the agreement and then immediately prepare for the experiment.”

With that, Shan Ming finally carried Shen Changze and got into their car.

Throughout the journey, the little hatchling remained quietly nestled in Shan Ming’s arms, and the two of them sat in the backseat.

Shan Ming whispered, “You always tell me that I should prioritize my safety for you, then you should also prioritize your own safety for me.”

“Mn, Dad, you’re right.”

“From now on, whenever I go out, I will come back within the designated time. And whether you are going on a mission or participating in an experiment, you must seek my opinion and not act by yourself.”

“I promise you.”

Shan Ming held the soft little body tightly in his arms and kissed his forehead, murmuring, “I must have been infected by you. I’m also hungry now.”

The little hatchling said softly, “Dad, wait for me. I’ll make your favorite dish for you.”

It was well past midnight when they finally returned to the base. Tang Tingzhi handed over the prepared agreement for Shan Ming to review. Shan Ming slammed the agreement on the table and said, “I’ll examine this carefully before signing. You guys go ahead and prepare the experiment for him first.”

Tang Tingzhi said, “You can take your time to review it. Don’t worry, we are a hundred percent confident in this experiment. There won’t be any issues.”

“After the experiment is completed, will he revert back to being an adult?”

“Yes, we will recharge the energy back into his body.”

Shan Ming glanced at the little hatchling sitting on his lap and frowned. He said, “So, I’ll never be able to see him in his child form again?”

“Theoretically… it’s not entirely impossi-”

The tail of the little hatchling slapped the table with a pah, and he gave Tang Tingzhi a fierce look. “Enough,” he said. He didn’t want to be drained and turned into a baby doll just to satisfy Shan Ming’s sadistic amusement from time to time.

Actually, even if he could still transform into a child, Shan Ming wouldn’t want him to risk undergoing such experiments again. So he knew that this was probably the last time he could hold Shen Changze on his lap and play with him like this. He reluctantly squeezed the little hatchling’s face and sighed, “You grew up too fast. I haven’t played with you enough, and you’re already grown up.”

The two little claws touched Shan Ming’s face gently. “Dad, I’ll always be by your side, whether I’m a child or grown-up.”

Shan Ming pursed his lips. “But you’re more fun when you’re a child.”

The little hatchling wrapped its arms around Shan Ming’s neck and gently brushed its tender and fragrant lips against his. In a soft voice, it said, “I can protect you if I’m grown up. I want to protect you.”

Shan Ming forced a smile, giving a gentle pat on the soft body of the little hatchling. Then he handed him over to Tang Tingzhi and said, “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you to come back and have dinner together.”

As he watched the small figure leave before his eyes, Shan Ming suddenly felt a profound sense of sadness, his eyes welling up with tears. He couldn’t quite understand his own emotions, but his heart was filled with a strong sense of reluctance.

Perhaps he was just deeply nostalgic for the little moments of Shen Changze’s childhood. The opportunity to relive his son’s early years, which was so hard to come by, had now come to an end, leaving him with the feeling that he had been in an incredibly beautiful dream, only to wake himself up from it.

This feeling was filled with sadness and helplessness.

Seeing Shan Ming’s sad expression, Ayer patted his shoulder, but he didn’t know how to console him. He had never been a father before, so he couldn’t fully understand Shan Ming’s emotions.

Shan Ming sighed, “I won’t let them conduct such twisted experiments anymore.”

“I believe Shen Changze also wouldn’t be willing anymore.”

Shan Ming shook his head. “How long will this take?”

“Quite a while. You should go back and rest for now.”

Feeling that waiting wouldn’t be of much help, Shan Ming nodded. “Alright, I’ll go back first,” he said.

Exhausted from the events of the night, Shan Ming returned to the residence that had been prepared for them in the base. He quickly took a cold shower and collapsed into bed, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

He hoped that once he fell asleep, he could escape the feelings of disappointment and loss. The sensation of having lost something seemed quite inexplicable.

As he drifted off to sleep, the sky faded into darkness.

He slept until he heard a strange sound around him, and just as he was about to jump up, his body was held down by a force. Soon after, a sturdy body pressed against his, and warm hands wrapped around his waist. He heard that familiar deep voice near his ear, softly saying, “Dad, I’m back.”

Shan Ming let out a barely audible sigh.

“Why are you sighing? How come you never realized you liked children before?” Shen Changze rested his chin on Shan Ming’s shoulder, feeling somewhat frustrated. Was he feeling jealous of himself?

“When you were five, you were annoying. But when you were two, you were quite cute.”

“How was I annoying when I was five? I used to listen to everything you said back then.”

Shan Ming muttered, “I don’t know, but you were cuter when you were two.”

Shen Changze’s hand slipped under Shan Ming’s clothes, caressing his waist and abdomen. He whispered, “Just accept reality. Could me in that appearance satisfy you?” He flipped over, pinning Shan Ming beneath him, and smirked. “Dad, you’ve been enjoying bullying me these past few days, haven’t you? I’ve said it before, once I turn back, you’re finished.”

Shan Ming squinted his eyes and asked, “What do you want?”

Shen Changze nibbled on Shan Ming’s ear and whispered, “I want to… fuck you until you can’t get out of bed.”

Shan Ming gritted his teeth and said, “You dare.”

Shen Changze swiftly pulled off Shan Ming’s loose pajama pants and chuckled, “I do dare. And right now, I will do just that.”

As Shan Ming was stripped naked and ravished by the beast on top of him, he couldn’t help but think, as I thought, you were cuter when you were two.
