Shuang Yun leaned in front of Huanhuan and sniffed her lips, cheeks, ears, neck, and shoulders. He looked like a wife checking her husband, who was coming home late, to make sure he wasnât having an affair.
Huanhuan pushed his head aside. âWhat are you doing?â
Shuang Yun stared at her face. âYou smell like Bai Di.â
Huanhuan coughed lightly and pretended to be calm. âDo I? I donât smell anything.â
âThe smell is especially strong. I smelled it as soon as you walked out the door.â
âOkay.â
Shuang Yun was as aggrieved as a jealous wife. âYouâre so cold.â
âAm I?â
âYou are.â
Huanhuan agreed. âAlright, I am.â
ââ¦â
Seeing his pitiful look, Huanhuan couldnât help but smile. She reached out and touched his short silver-white hair. âThe expression on your face now will make people think Iâm bullying you.â
Shuang Yun rubbed against her palm and snorted. âYou are bullying me.â
......
âI like you so much. How could I bear to bully you?â
âDo you like me?â
âI do.â Huanhuanâs cheeks were slightly red, but she sounded certain. âI like you very much.â
Shuang Yun was immediately happy again.
He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her ear. âSleep with me tonight, okay?â
Huanhuan rejected him without hesitation.
âNo way.â
âWhy? You just said you like me.â
Huanhuan gently stroked her abdomen. âI canât mate with anyone for the time being. Your self-control is poor. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to control yourself and want to do bad things at night, so itâs safer for me to sleep with Bai Di or Sang Ye.â
Shuang Yun watched her expression and actions and quickly reacted.
âDid Bai Di mate with you in his beast form last night?â
Huanhuan lowered her head in embarrassment. âYes.â
Shuang Yun said with a strange expression, âNo wonder you were so loud last nightâ¦â
This topic was too embarrassing. Huanhuan decided to change the topic.
She told him about the childrenâs education.
âItâs fine for you to dote on your daughter, but you canât bully your sons. Look at how youâve beaten up Dos, Tres, and Little Monster. This isnât the way to be a good father!â
Shuang Yun said matter-of-factly, âTheyâre male beasts. Theyâre thick-skinned and resistant to beatings. Donât worry.â
Huanhuan was speechless. âTheyâre your biological sons.â
âThatâs what happened to me back then. Although I did suffer a little at first, I got used to it.â
Huanhuan couldnât convince him. She could only glare at him.
She led the wolf pups into the kitchen and asked Bai Di for some freshly boiled eggs to rub the bruises on their bodies.
The wolf cubs felt comfortable with Huanhuan taking care of them. They whimpered as they hugged their motherâs wrist.
After massaging them with the eggs, she slowly peeled the eggs and gave them to the children.
Huanhuanâs breakfast was still the same bowl of fragrant egg custard. The others had meat soup with meat pies and some crisp and refreshing pickled vegetables.
Huanhuan wanted to feed the children egg custard.
But Big Goody said, âMom, youâre preparing to give birth. You have to eat more eggs. Weâll just eat meat.â
Dos, Tres, and Little Monster nodded in agreement. âThe meat is delicious too!â
She did not expect the children who were usually the most gluttonous to say such considerate words. Huanhuanâs heart warmed. She leaned in front of Big Goody and asked with a smile, âCan I have a bite of your meat pie?â
Big Goody generously tore off a large piece of meat pie and handed it to her mouth.
Huanhuan took a bite.
Bai Di was a very good cook. The meat pie was fragrant and crispy. It was not greasy at all. It was indeed delicious.
Big Goody asked, âDo you want more?â
Huanhuan stroked her head. âI donât want anymore. You can eat it yourself.â
âOkay.â
After eating and drinking his fill, Shuang Yun was about to leave when Big Goody leaned over and asked, âFather, are you going hunting today?â
âThatâs right.â
Big Goody wagged her big fluffy tail, her eyes filled with anticipation. âCan my brothers and I go hunting with you?â
Shuang Yun was surprised and asked, âHunting is very difficult. Are you sure you want to go with me?â
Big Goody nodded vigorously. âYes!â
Dos, Tres, and Little Monster squeezed over and looked eagerly at Shuang Yun.
âFather, we want to hunt too!â
Shuang Yun thought for a moment and agreed readily. âAlright, come down the mountain with me later.â
The children jumped and cheered in delight.
Huanhuan was more worried. âThe children are still young. If you take them hunting now, what if they get injured?â
Before Shuang Yun could speak, the children shouted in unison.
âWeâre not afraid of getting hurt!â
Shuang Yun also said, âItâs good to bring them out to see the world. When I was their age, I could already catch prey alone to feed myself.â
Huanhuan knew that he had suffered a lot when he was young. Hearing him say this, her heart softened.
Shuang Yun pinched her cheek. âDonât worry. Iâll watch from the side. I promise I wonât let them get hurt.â
Huanhuan muttered, âYou said it. If theyâre injured, Iâll hold you responsible.â
Shuang Yun picked her up and kissed the corner of her mouth. âOkay.â
This was the first time the wolf cubs had gone out hunting. The four of them were very excited and kept circling Shuang Yun.
Shuang Yun led the children down the mountain.
Huanhuan went to teach the children in the tribe as usual. Sang Ye followed her silently and said, âIâll send you there.â
âIâd like that.â
Sang Ye picked her up and walked steadily toward the 11th floor.
Huanhuan wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, âBai Di told me everything. Spiky bird beasts are dangerous. Were you hurt when you went to get the eggs?â
âNo, when I went to look for eggs, I happened to encounter other ferocious beasts who wanted to snatch the eggs. The thorn bird beasts were chasing after those ferocious beasts, so I took the opportunity to pick up these eggs.â
Huanhuanâs eyes widened. âYouâre so lucky!â
âYes, itâs rare for me to be this lucky.â
Huanhuan said, âYouâd better not look for thorn bird beastsâ eggs in the future.â
Sang Ye was puzzled. âWhy? Donât you like them?â
âItâs too dangerous. I donât want you to be in danger.â
Sang Ye said, âItâs okay. As long as you like it, I can get anything for you.â
Huanhuan shook her head and looked at him seriously. âThere are many delicious things in this world. Even I donât eat the eggs of thorn bird beasts, there are many other delicious foods. But youâre the only Sang Ye I like. If anything happens to you, Iâll definitely die.â
Sang Ye lowered his dark eyes and didnât say anything else. He just silently hugged her tighter.
Huanhuan leaned against his shoulder. âSo donât do anything dangerous again, okay?â
Her voice was soft and sweet, revealing a hint of coquettishness that Sang Ye could not refuse.
He could only agree. âAll right.â
Huanhuan smiled happily and kissed him on the chin. âThen we have a deal!â
Sang Ye looked at her helplessly. There was a doting look in his dark eyes that even he did not notice.
âI really donât know what to do with you.â
