She handed the spoon to Aoki, looking at him expectantly.

It contained honey, but Aoki couldn't bear to eat it.

Meeting his partner's expectant gaze, he lowered his eyes, scooped up a small piece of peach gum, carefully put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

The soft, smooth, and chewy texture in his mouth made Aoki's eyes light up, and he nodded affirmatively.

"It's delicious! You eat it, little one."

"Let's go to the living room and eat together." Shengxia made the decision, and Qingmu obediently did as she was told.

Like Yang Yun, Wolf King, once he tasted the sweetness of honey, refused to eat another bite.

"You guys eat, there's so much."

Aoki poked her wrinkled little face, and saw her pout, looking as aggrieved as a little cub. His heart melted at how cute she was.

So cute!

"You can eat it, little one. The males don't like sweets, so the little ones have already eaten all of these."

Honey is a rare treat, and it's even harder to find during the snowy season, so he couldn't bear to eat it all; he wanted to save it all for his baby.

He cupped her face in his hands, pulled up her cheeks and pinched them. They felt wonderful, smooth and tender, even more so than steamed egg custard!

Shengxia angrily slapped his hand away, glared at him, and said coquettishly, "Eating so much, do you think I'm a pig?"

She knew that disliking sweets was just an excuse. In the beast world, no beast disliked sweets; it was just to get her to eat more.

In the future, we must find the raw materials for making sugar so that they can have the freedom to enjoy sweets!

Aoki didn't know what pigs had to do with eating, but he didn't dwell on it. He suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

With a grin, he pushed three bowls of peach gum and lotus root starch in front of her, then turned and ran away.

"I'm going to the second floor to tidy up the warehouse."

Sheng Xia looked helplessly at Yang Yun and Lang Jun.

Yang Yun lowered her head, her fair face flushed, like a poor student who had been suddenly called on by the teacher for a spot check, feeling uneasy.

"I'll go tidy up the storeroom too."

The baby's eyes are so cute, I can't resist! I'm afraid if he stays any longer, I won't be able to resist pouncing on him.

Shengxia giggled and jumped into Langjun's arms. His body was as hot as a furnace, and she sighed comfortably.

"You are so sweet."

He enjoyed her initiative to get close, stroking the top of her head with his hand, his voice tinged with a hint of languor as it came from the tip of his nose.

"As long as the baby likes it."

Sheng Xia's heart stirred slightly, and she suddenly wanted to tell Wolf King everything—her origins and everything about her.

She is certain that her partner is absolutely loyal and would not do anything to harm her.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back forcefully.

Sheng Xia shook her head vigorously, forcefully shaking off the irrational thoughts. She felt like she had just gone crazy.

Wolf King pulled her closer to his chest, his gaze towards Sheng Xia clear and full of affection.

"What's wrong?"

Shengxia felt a strong arm wrap around her waist, and she instinctively snuggled closer to him, saying with a grin.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized how nice you are."

He chuckled softly at her words, his smooth chin resting gently on her shoulder, his smile tender and sweet.

"It's not that I'm good, it's that my baby deserves it."

He looked at Shengxia and secretly vowed in his heart, "With me, my little one will never have to worry."

I will protect you until the end of my life.

In the end, it was still Shengxia who devoured three large bowls of peach gum and lotus root starch.

Of course, it wasn't eaten in one meal; it was divided into two portions.

In the beast world, there is no concept of leftovers. Precious food is always reserved for the females, and it's normal for it to be left out for several meals before being eaten again.

Leave it all for the baby!

—————

Happy days always pass quickly, and before we knew it, the snow season was almost over.

That noon.

The sun was shining brightly, but the cold wind persisted.

Waking up from a midday nap in the sweltering summer heat, I was ravenously hungry.

She first ate a bowl of lotus root starch, which tasted a little sweet, and then ate some dried meat.

The more she ate, the hungrier she became; she felt like she could eat a whole cow.

Before I knew it, I had eaten everything on the table.

This was not her usual eating style, and Aoki and Yang Yun next to her were stunned.

His mouth was slightly open, and he stared at her blankly.

Shengxia felt she hadn't eaten enough, and when she met two pairs of surprised eyes, she was too embarrassed to speak, and was prepared to go hungry.

Wolf King came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of noodles.

The vibrant green vegetables, bright red tomatoes, and large chunks of lean meat looked incredibly appetizing, perfect for a hot summer day.

She involuntarily swallowed, her eyes following the bowl, her mouth watering at the sight of the noodles.

Aoki looked at her strangely, his clear eyes filled with doubt.

He reached out and touched her stomach.

"Why are you eating so much? Aren't you full?"

Sheng Xia glared at him, embarrassed and angry, and said in a fierce but weak voice, "I was exhausted last night, and you won't even let me eat more!"

It's normal for her to be hungry after expending so much energy.

Aoki looked at her with heartache, and lowered his voice considerably.

"My little one, you've worked so hard. Eat more and get chubby."

midsummer:……

After finishing a bowl of noodles, she was so full she could barely sit still. She stood up and patted her round belly.

"I'm so full, I need to move around a bit."

Wolf King followed her closely, his gaze tender to the extreme.

Yang Yun picked up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, while Qingmu cleaned the table.

After walking around the living room for a while, Shengxia felt much better. She walked to the rocking chair, lay down, and let out a comfortable hum.

"This feels so good!"

She glanced at the handsome wolf king, her eyes lit up, and she moved to the side.

"Come on, lie down too."

"good."

Wolf King lay down as instructed, turned his head and chuckled softly, taking her hand and stroking it tenderly.

In the height of summer, she leaned her head on his shoulder, and Wolf King casually pulled her into his arms, pulled up a piece of animal skin, and carefully covered her from waist to toe.

"Take a nap."

The rocking chair swayed gently as Shengxia closed her eyes, a sweet feeling welling up inside her, and she couldn't be more content.

These leisurely days are wonderful.

The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

A cold wind swept by, bringing with it wisps of chill.

On the bed, Shangxia, her cheeks flushed, stretched out in a big, lazily position and gave a beautiful yawn.

I opened my eyes, but the sunlight was so bright that I immediately closed them again.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and yawned: "I'm so hungry!"

Yang Yun opened the door and poked her head out: "Little one, you're awake? Wash up and eat. Today I made peach gum and lotus root starch soup, as well as cured pork rice and chestnut puree."

These are all my baby's favorites lately.

After fully waking up, Sheng Xia's eyes lit up with longing, and she involuntarily swallowed.

Aoki ran over excitedly, his smile as bright as the sun.

"What would you like to wear today, little one? How about this purple short sweater and brown pants?"

The purple sweater was finished just yesterday; it took him a lot of effort, and the pattern he knitted was much prettier than Yang Yun's latest invention.

The baby will definitely love it!

Sheng Xia's eyes lit up.

Wolf King's lips curled slightly, a gentle smile spreading across his face, his heart softening.

His smile was gentle and refined, exuding a warm and understated aura, making him elegant and graceful.

In the height of summer, he was completely mesmerized.
