Totu entered the dining hall.
The dining hall was beautiful and spacious.
At its center stood a large round wooden table, surrounded by ten unique chairs, each carved with simple yet elegant designs.
teacher was already seated one of the dining table chair, his eyes closed as he waited quietly to totu arrival.
On top of the dining table sat Toku, happily eating a strange fruit.
The fruit was bright orange, glowing softly, and looked unusually tempting.
Various dishes were placed neatly around the top of the dining table.
Steam still rose from them — all of the food was hot and freshly prepared.
Totu walked forward and sat chair opposite his teacher.
" teacher I'm ready," Totu said cutely.
teacher opened his eyes slowly and looked at Totu.
Totu appeared energetic and handsome, his face fresh and clean like that of a cute baby.
The teacher smiled gently.
"Eat slowly," he said. "Everything is very hot eat carefully. I tried a few new dishes today.
Eat well, and tell me if you like them ."
Totu nodded.
He take out a long, clean white cloth from his colourless braslet and carefully tied it around his neck, letting it fully cover the front of his clothes so no food would touch them.
Then, from inside his bracelet, he took out a pure white jade water bottle. Strange patterns were carved on it, yet it looked ordinary. The top had no cap.
He also took out a pair of pure white colour chopsticks and fork , nife soup spoon and normal spoon, all of them faint line craved and light-patterns engraved along their lengths, full set of prepration ready to eat.
Totu always ate using both hands — it was one of his habits.
As he prepared to eat, Totu glanced at Toku, who was still sitting on the table, munching happily on the orange fruit.
"You eat and sleep all day," Totu said casually.
"All you know is how to eat and sleep. One day, you'll grow a big belly and won't even be able to move your body even a Inch."
Totu nudged him lightly.
Toku showed no reaction and continued eating the orange fruit cutely.
Totu smirked and added mockingly,
"At this rate, you continue eating like this you'll definitely turn ugly ."
The moment Toku heard the word ugly, he froze.
He slowly swallowed the last piece of fruit in his hand, lifted his head, and stared straight at towards the Totu.
His golden eyes blinks , and his brows narrowed slightly.
He stood up on the table.
Pointing his little index finger at Totu, he said seriously,
"Baby boy… did you just call me ugly? Say you said that"
Totu looked at Toku sign and replied calmly,
" Toku, I didn't mean anything else—I only said it because I care about you, Now you look fine. But, toku No one knows what will happen in the future, Keep eating like that and one day you'll end up become like a pig ", totu finished speaking, a silent, mocking edge lingering in his expression."
Toku shook his finger left and right.
"No. No. No. You're wrong," he said confidently.
"If I ever turn ugly, then in this world — no, in countless stars and in the endless dustless lands — there will be no such thing as call handsome at all."
Totu was very surprised when he heard totu said that, he couldn't react for a second, Totu was completely confused .
Surprisingly, Toku wasn't angry — instead, he was explaining himself, Toku had little patience. The moment someone spoke against him, he argued back without hesitation."
Totu looked at him silently, wondering what kind of drama this little puppy was starting now.
At the same time, he was curious.
"Alright," Totu said expressionlessly. "Tell me why you won't turn ugly."
Toku nodded proudly.
He placed both hands on his hips, closed his golden eyes, slowly shook his head, and He let out a slow breath inside his mouth.
When he opened his eyes again, now his face was filled with confidence.
"In this world," Toku declared,
"across countless stars systems and different races, and countless type of living beings — whether living or non-living — all are tied to the fate of origin."
He looked at Totu, expecting a reaction.
Totu stared at him, puzzled, and nodded silently.
Seeing Totu's confused expression, Toku felt secretly pleased and continued,
"All of them are tied to the fate of the Origin—and I am currently one of those Origins",
Totu didn't fully understand what Toku meant, but he nodded anyway.
He wanted to see how long Toku would keep bragging.
Seeing Totu nod, Toku lifted his chin even higher.
"Because," he said proudly,
"I am the fate of handsome — and the origin of handsome."
He puffed out his chest.
"I am the root of handsome, the source of handsome, the very origin of handsome itself."
"So tell me — how could I possibly turn ugly?"
He stood there proudly, hands on hips, chest forward, his face full of confidence.
Totu fell silent.
He hadn't expected this level of imagination, confidence, and shameless bragging.
For a moment, he truly didn't know what to say.
This Toku was completely shameless.
Across the table, teacher watched everything quietly while eating slowly.
When he heard Toku's last words, even he felt puzzled and glanced at Toku strangely.
Totu and his teacher shared the same thought:
This one… is truly shameless.
Toku, however, didn't care at all.
Looking at Totu again, he said seriously,
"Baby boy, I admit you're handsome."
"But compared to me? Not even close."
He waved his little hand generously.
"If you want advice on how to maintain even half of my handsome face,
you're welcome. I can give you a few pointers."
Toku's childlike, cute voice finally triggered Totu's anger.
That was the limit.
Totu's patience snapped.
He pointed at Toku and shouted,
"You— you are truly shameless!"
Totu looked ready to beat him.
Toku also looked ready to fight.
Then—
Suddenly, the teacher spoke loudly,
"Enough."
He calmly said ,
"Eat first. The food is getting cold." And he continued eating .
Totu took a deep breath claim himself,and sat back down, and started eating.
Toku also sat down happily, picked up another orange fruit, and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
