Gu Yunzhou turned on his personal terminal, spoke to the robot for a while, then squatted down, lowered his head, and held Ji Zhaoming's ankle to prevent him from moving around, and put slippers on him.
Then, slowly and deliberately, he switched hands and grasped Ji Zhaoming's hand, saying, "Please come with me, Your Majesty."
His hands were large enough to easily grasp Ji Zhaoming's entire hand in his palm. With a gentle pull, Ji Zhaoming was pulled off the bed.
Even through his slippers, Ji Zhaoming could feel the softness of the carpet beneath his feet.
Gu Yunzhou held Ji Zhaoming's hand tightly and stayed by his side the whole time.
He started off walking quite fast, but he quickly realized what was happening and slowed down, holding the other person's hand as they walked toward their destination, but his pace was always a step slower than Ji Zhaoming's.
The restaurant was larger than Ji Zhaoming had imagined, and it was filled with robots.
Ji Zhaoming was led to the top position.
The chair was at Ji Zhaoming's waist height.
Ji Zhaoming: "..."
Since coming into this world, he has faced the fact that he is short.
Gu Yunzhou frowned and glanced around the restaurant. The robots were frozen in place, except for the one that had spoken to Ji Zhaoming at the beginning. It patted its head and quickly changed chairs.
At the same time, Gu Yunzhou gently tapped the table, and one of the four legs of the table broke off instantly, landing steadily on the ground with a thud, perfectly matching Ji Zhaoming's height.
Even though he got a more suitable chair, Ji Zhaoming still felt deeply hurt.
Gu Yunzhou sat next to Ji Zhaoming, cut the food, and used a fork to hold it to Ji Zhaoming's mouth.
Ji Zhaoming paused for a moment, then said, "I can do it myself."
Unwilling to offend Ji Zhaoming, Gu Yunzhou could only regretfully put down the fork.
The food prepared for the king was naturally of the highest quality. In order to take care of the king's weakness—he was prone to nosebleeds if he was not careful—the food was designed to provide Ji Zhaoming with the necessary nutrients, and to prevent any mishaps due to overnutrition.
Ji Zhaoming had been starving for a long time, and the food was especially delicious, so his eyes lit up instantly.
His upper body was upright and straight, and even though he ate quickly, he did not appear careless, making Ji Zhaoming look like a well-educated king.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Yunzhou handed him a glass of milk.
Ji Zhaoming didn't stand on ceremony and gulped down half of it.
Seeing the milk stains on Ji Zhaoming's lips, Gu Yunzhou slightly bent the knuckles of his fingers on the table and called out, "Your Majesty."
"Hmm?" Ji Zhaoming noticed his reflection in Gu Yunzhou's eyes.
Milk around the mouth.
His face flushed red, and he picked up a tissue from the side and wiped himself clean.
Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyelashes, obscuring the view in his pupils, and crossed his two fingers together, the blue veins on them clearly visible.
Gu Yunzhou said, "I'm sorry, this question is a bit impolite. Your Majesty, are you... an adult?"
A ring of milky white smeared around his mouth, which was particularly noticeable on his still-childish face. His eyes were wide and bright, and his jubilant mood was clearly visible.
Just like those cubs that haven't grown up yet.
Ji Zhaoming: "..."
Does he look like a little kid?
He saw his reflection in the gleaming table.
...He really shouldn't have drunk so heavily.
A note from the author:
Ji Zhaoming: It's ruggedness, not childishness!

Chapter 4
What best matches the fragile Little Prince?
Ji Zhaoming retorted angrily, "I'm an adult! I'm already over twenty!"
Her face flushed with anger, which made her look even more beautiful against her porcelain-white skin.
Gu Yunzhou paused, apologized, and then asked in an explanatory tone, "So, is twenty years old considered adulthood for humans?"
Hmm? This means...?
Ji Zhaoming exclaimed, "Aren't you guys?"
“Yes, we have a longer lifespan; we’re considered adults at fifty.” Gu Yunzhou immediately took away the napkin that Ji Zhaoming had used and replaced it with a clean one.
One of the robots suddenly said, "But according to the book, humans are considered adults at twenty-five, aren't they?"
The way he looked at Ji Zhaoming was as if he were looking at a minor who was clearly a child but was trying to act like an adult.
Ji Zhaoming said, "Ah."
Fearing that others might mistakenly think he was lying, Ji Zhaoming racked his brains for examples.
However, having only been in this world for less than three hours, his knowledge was extremely limited, and after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a solution.
Ji Zhaoming could only say hesitantly, "But I was indeed eighteen years old when I came of age."
Now, the remaining robots looked at Ji Zhaoming with even more kindness.
Their king is so young!
No wonder it looks so fragile.
Many races die during their infancy if they are not careful, let alone the already vulnerable infancy of humans.
Their king is still a cub.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Okay, I understand."
What does this mean?
Ji Zhaoming thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand it. Perhaps there was actually no meaning in that sentence.
Robots don't need to eat, but to prevent their king from being uncomfortable, each one has a special food dish for robots placed in front of him.
Once Ji Zhaoming finished eating, the meal was over.
The food looked small, but it was actually quite filling. The robots were taking care of humans for the first time and had no experience, so they gave them the same amount of food as other races' cubs.
There were even fewer of them than the cubs, after all, their king didn't seem to be able to eat much.
Nevertheless, it was still too much for Ji Zhaoming. After finishing his meal, he touched his bloated stomach, wanting to burp, but he held it in.
Indecent.
The robots' attention was entirely on Wang. Ji Zhaoming merely frowned slightly, and the robots straightened up as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Is Your Majesty feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Does Your Majesty feel uncomfortable?"
"If you are feeling unwell, you must speak up."
With everyone talking at once, Ji Zhaoming didn't know who to reply to. He could only relax his furrowed brows and give a friendly smile: "I'm fine."
It looked even less like everything was alright, and the robots began to panic, starting to think about the possible harm they might cause to humans.
However, humans were too weak and withdrew from the stage of history long ago. The robots even felt that the air itself was a potential danger.
I panicked even more.
Gu Yunzhou tapped the table, interrupting the robots' chatter, and quickly asked, "Did the king eat too much?"
"..." Hearing it said so bluntly, Ji Zhaoming's face turned completely red instantly, and he nodded softly, "Um, can I go out for a walk?"
Gu Yunzhou nodded, summoned a robot to take a warm coat, and draped it over Ji Zhaoming. At the same time, he took out a small and exquisite heater filled with red stones.
Gu Yunzhou frowned: "This all belongs to the king."
So the king can go wherever he wants.
Gu Yunzhou pulled Ji Zhaoming to his feet.
The leader and the king stood up, and the remaining robots dared not remain seated any longer and all stood up as well.
This made Gu Yunzhou and Ji Zhaoming appear exceptionally short.
Ji Zhaoming moved closer to Gu Yunzhou.
Under Gu Yunzhou's scrutiny, the robots belatedly realized something and immediately took control of their bodies. In a flash, all the surrounding robots rapidly descended.
It reached exactly to Ji Zhaoming's leg height.
Ji Zhaoming: "No, there's no need for that."
So the robot turned around and around, finally settling on a height that was only slightly shorter than Ji Zhaoming's.
The only robot that spoke to Ji Zhaoming at the beginning didn't move. It maintained its small size, its short legs moving step by step...
The distance was so short, it was like a tortoise crawling. Ji Zhaoming smiled and picked up the robot.
Even Gu Yunzhou's gaze was fixed on the little robot.
Placed in the king's hand, the little robot's cold, armored shell was stained red, and wisps of unknown heat emanated from its head. Its limbs began to rust, and it stammered, "King, King, King."
Ji Zhaoming: "What's wrong?"
The face, so close yet magnified, was like the finest white jade, without a single flaw. Beneath long, thick eyelashes lay a pair of slightly brown eyes. Looking into those eyes felt like being enveloped in a summer breeze, swaying gently on an old chaise lounge, an ice cream in hand.
The sun shone warmly on my body, and I would fan myself with the bamboo fan whenever I felt like it.
The little robot had never experienced this feeling before, and it felt like its heart was about to fly away.
