Often in such stories, there's a chance for the grumpy old man to change. Maybe a young person befriends him and starts to break down his walls.

According to the previous chapters, the capybaras must have put in a lot of effort into forensic science, their understanding of the industry (at least, it would not be a problem for them to give a layman like me a general knowledge of the industry), and their persistent section on food. It was suggested that the capybaras directly start a chef career in the next book. In addition, each chapter is too short. I suggest you take care of it first, or just read it as a story. 7."Wait, Heroine": A new work by Young Master Guan Guan, the favorite minister of the empress, the lover of the rebel leader, and the young master of a famous Jianghu family. It was a combination of various identities. Each female character had a distinct personality.
