Yang Yun stood at the door, eagerly waiting. Sheng Xia wouldn't let him follow, so he stood motionless at the living room door, waiting.

As Shengxia entered, her slender, almond-shaped eyes brightened.

She jogged over lightly and naturally took the things from Shengxia's hands.

"What is the little one holding?"

"Put the ginseng away first, I'll plant it in my space later."

Shengxia gave him the ginseng, hugged Yang Yun's waist, rubbed her cheek against his chest affectionately, and said in a muffled voice.

"Yang Yun, you're so nice~"

Unlike some sharp-tongued people...

Is she short? She's just not noticeably tall.

She doesn't usually care about this, but being blatantly discriminated against still makes her sad.

Mingming's height of 165cm is perfect in modern times.

Yang Yun sensitively noticed her low spirits, hugged her tenderly, and spoke softly.

"Don't be afraid, baby. No matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Do you think I'm short?

Shengxia tilted her head back, resting her chin on his chest, and asked in a wronged tone.

Yang Yun noticed that her voice was no longer as cheerful as before, and unusually tinged with confusion and melancholy.

He looked down and saw that the little one's almond-shaped eyes were drooping and his full red lips were slightly pouting, making him look pitiful.

"Not short at all, my baby's height is just right, I like him very much!"

"Don't be sad, little one, really, I really like you!"

Yang Yun tried to explain helplessly, her eyes red with anxiety.

Shengxia chuckled and kissed him on the chest, her eyes sparkling again.

"I know, I like you very much too."

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly became sentimental. With Yang Yun coaxing her so carefully, she suddenly felt that nothing else mattered.

She has a loving partner and an adorable child; that's enough.

The wolf king, who was sorting through animal hides in the storeroom, narrowed his eyes slightly. Some beastmen had been talking nonsense in front of his cubs.

"What's wrong?"

Aoki strode in from outside the courtyard; his voice preceded his arrival.

Shengxia emerged from Yang Yun's arms and looked out the door with delight.

Aoki slowed his pace and walked ahead, followed by the three stumbling little ones. The three of them, one big and three small, walked home in the setting sun, creating an exceptionally harmonious scene.

"My little ones are back! Where did your father take you today? Did you have fun?"

In the height of summer, a beaming smile spread across her face as she looked at her cubs. A radiant, sun-like smile appeared on her face, and her entire being radiated a gentle maternal love.

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, met Qingmu's questioning gaze, and gestured for him to wait until after the summer to talk.

Then, looking eager to try, he turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

My little one has been wronged today, so I need to make her more of her favorite foods.

Aoki nodded knowingly and moved closer to Shengxia and Zaizai.

"Does the baby not love me anymore now that he has a baby? He didn't even give me a kiss when he came in today."

He pouted exaggeratedly, his golden head nuzzling against Shengxia's shoulder in a spoiled manner.

Sheng Xia smiled helplessly, turned her head and carefully placed a light kiss on his cheek.

"No, I love them all! I love my baby and his dads!"

"Waaaaah..."

The children, unhappy about being ignored by their mother, climbed onto Shengxia like a human pyramid.

Sheep was at the very top, Lion Qing was next, and Wolf Song was at the very bottom, huffing and puffing as he climbed up.

The little lamb slid down, and the lion cub that had suddenly taken the lead froze for a moment, then started whimpering and climbing up.

My heart is completely melted by this cuteness in the middle of summer.

She lovingly picked up the three babies and kissed each of them affectionately.

"Why have they turned into beast forms again?"

"Beast form is convenient for everything, they can climb fast without affecting their playtime, and the little ones are also very smart."

Aoki squatted down, wrapped one arm around Shengxia's legs, and easily lifted her and the babies with one hand.

He placed Shengxia on the sofa, looking at the children and tempting them with a smile.

"Wolf Song, Lion's Cry, Sheep's Far Away. Let's play hide-and-seek!"

Several little cubs scrambled to climb off Shengxia.

"Hurry up, I'm coming to catch you!"

Wolf Song ran to the carpet with a bouncy, twitching little ears happily.

Then in the height of summer, he saw him squeeze his little silver head through the gap in the blanket, sticking his bottom out and not moving.

Sheng Xia pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, while inwardly screaming like a groundhog.

So cute, so cute, so cute!!! This little rascal only cares about his head and not his rear!

Looking again, Yang Yuan and Shi Qing were sitting under the table, arguing fiercely over a seat.

The two little ones are incredibly cute; you bump me with your little bottom, and I bump you with my little bottom.

The brotherhood is in jeopardy because of a prime location for playing hide-and-seek.

Seeing the happy smile on Shengxia's face, Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.

He glanced at Shengxia, who was playing happily with her cub, and quietly walked into the kitchen. Just as he was about to ask Yangyun, he discovered that Wolf King was also there.

"What's going on?"

Aoki asked in a low voice.

Wolf King calmly looked outside, his ears perked up.

Yang Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before recounting what he had seen.

"That's right, some animals should say the cub is too short."

Wolf King's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold, sharp curve appeared on his lips.

A cold light flashed in Aoki's deep eyes, his fierce gaze seemingly able to see right through to the heart of a beast.

"Pfft, pfft..."

The sudden sound interrupted the beasts' thoughts. Yang Yun thought of the alfalfa and wheat rice in the steamer and hurried over.

"The pot's boiling! I'll go check it out."

He stretched out his long, slender, fair fingers and took half of the firewood out of the pot.
