"Okay, Brother Qing, we understand."

He looked up and met Shengxia's eyes, but then he stammered. He couldn't say "mother," could he?

I'm sure my fathers will team up and beat me up...

Not being able to keep quiet was not an option, so the little lion scratched his head and blurted out in his haste, "Mom, keep your voice down, Dad will beat you if you speak loudly."

midsummer:???

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Hu Xue lowered her voice and gave the little lion a cold look. The little lion was so frightened that it immediately started to puff up its feather duster.

Other males also expressed their opinions.

"Sister Shengxia, I would rather die than hit you. You're the one who hits us," Xingmu explained earnestly.

Tie Bai subtly kicked Shi Qing away, his clear and crisp voice carrying a hint of urgency.

"Xiaxia, no beast will hit you."

"..."

Shengxia gave them a reproachful look, then chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I know."

A gentle breeze blew by, and with Wolf King acting as a portable heater, I sighed comfortably in the sweltering summer heat.

"It's so cool!"

"Xiaxia, come and eat some persimmons." Tie Bai carefully peeled the skin, scooped out a bowlful from the middle with a spoon, and handed it to Shengxia.

Sheng Xia looked down and saw the fiery red liquid emitting a sweet aroma. She couldn't resist scooping up a spoonful and putting it in her mouth.

The soft, sweet taste spreads across your mouth.

"So delicious!" It's cool and sweet~

Before she knew it, she had finished her meal in one go. Embarrassed, she put down her bowl and turned to look at the cubs whose eyes were shining and who were constantly swallowing their saliva.

"Little ones, come and eat, it's super sweet."

Upon hearing the word "sweet," the boys simultaneously paused, turned their heads, and reluctantly refused.

"I won't eat."

The sweet ones are delicious, so I gave them all to my mother and sisters.
