"If you keep crying and making a fuss, I won't care about you anymore."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. The two cubs raised their heads at the same time and looked at the boy who seemed angry.
"Why don't you care about...me?" Ye's voice gradually became smaller and his confidence became less.
Yue stopped crying and rubbed Zhao Zhao's palm with tears on her face: "I will be good."
Zhao Zhao's mind flashed with the system task and the tired face of the Phoenix Lord. Finally, he put Yue and Ye on the bed together, and he slept between the two cubs.
Ye whispered, "Why should he sleep in my bed?"
Yue said aggrievedly: "You clearly promised to only sleep with me."
The problem arises again.
Zhao Zhao didn't want to hear a word they said, so the headband came into play again. The wider strip of cloth was unfolded and tied around the two people's mouths.
Looking at the two cute cubs with their mouths closed and their eyes blank, Zhao Zhao's cold eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness: "Sleep."
Yue and Ye each held one of Zhao Zhao's arms, their eyelids slowly drooped, and they fell asleep.
Zhao Zhao was not on guard and fell into a light sleep with a frown.
"Baby...baby..." In Zhao Zhao's dream, several voices came from all directions, calling tirelessly in his mind.
He opened his eyes drowsily and met Shangyue's smiling eyes: "Grandpa, I'm hungry."
Zhao Zhao’s first reaction was that Yue finally stopped crying, and his second reaction was the strange name of “Grandpa”.
Ye was still sleeping beside him. Zhao Zhao carried him out of the room gently and said expressionlessly, "Call the Fourth Elder."
He was only a hundred years old. In the Phoenix Clan where the average age was several thousand years old, he was practically raised as "youngster". But when he came to Yue, he actually became the grandfather in his mouth.
"The Fourth Elder is too unfamiliar." Yue smiled.
"Do you know what unfamiliarity is? Don't you know how to address me correctly?" Zhao Zhao said in a faint voice, "Or are you deliberately trying to irritate me?"
Yue saw his own reflection in Zhao Zhao's clear emerald eyes. He leaned in close, leaning against Zhao Zhao and smiling, "Father~"
"Shut up." Zhao Zhao gritted his teeth.
The cub pouted in grievance: "Brother!"
"I don't deserve it."
"Brother Zhaozhao..." Tears were about to well up in the cub's clean and bright eyes, but Zhaozhao didn't say anything.
"Brother Zhaozhao, I want to eat something." Yue snuggled up to Zhaozhao and said coquettishly.
Zhao Zhao looked up out the window and deduced that he had slept for about two hours, and it was time for the cubs to eat.
When a phoenix is a cub, it is usually enough to eat some nectar and fruit, but Yue and Ye are different. One wants to eat fire elements, and the other wants to eat birds raw.
Especially Ye, who often drools at Yue's chubby and white arms.
Zhao Zhao: .....
As usual, I ignored the unreasonable request and took Yue to drink nectar and eat fruit. The elegant carved wooden table was filled with luxurious meals. Yue, who had slept for several hours without eating, was very hungry. She climbed onto the table using her hands and feet and started to eat.
Zhao Zhao corrected him, put him on a chair, and taught him: "There are rules for eating." Remember your teaching mission at all times.
“Wuwuwuwu…”
Zhao Zhao closed his eyes, veins popping out on his forehead. "I'm not stopping you from eating. I'm just asking you not to eat at the table."
Yue cried, "Then I'll squat on the floor under the table and eat."
As he said this, he was about to crawl under the table. He looked so pitiful. If you didn't know, you would think that Zhao Zhao was bullying him.
"Sit still." Zhao Zhao patiently corrected him, handed him a piece of fruit, and reminded him, "Chew well..."
Before he could finish his words, the cub's mouth suddenly opened wide and he swallowed the fruit, which was as big as his head, in one gulp.
Zhao Zhao: ...Is that right? He was like this when he was a kid, too?
That’s not right. He can’t eat like this now, right?
In the blink of an eye, Yue climbed onto the dining table again. He pulled Yue's collar as if he was pulling a wild beast that was mad for food.
As her expression became complicated, a familiar, childish voice roared from the doorway: "Yizhao! You took Yue to dinner but not me! I hate you!"
Another ancestor also came.
Ye glared at Zhao Zhao, then looked at Yue who was concentrating on eating at the dining table, and his stomach rumbled at an inopportune time.
With his eyes shining, he rushed towards Yue: "This is the food prepared for me. If it is, then I forgive you!"
He was extremely fast, and before the servants beside him could react, Ye was already in Zhao Zhao's hands.
“I’m hungry!”
He fluttered his hands and feet, but Zhao Zhao's brows never relaxed. He took the food from the table without saying a word, but Yue was guarding the food: "Wuwu, no."
"Heh." Zhao Zhao was so angry that she laughed. She asked someone to prepare another table of food, and then threw Ye, who was still struggling in her hand, onto the table.
Eat it, eat it in whatever position you like.
Ye also climbed onto the table, but while eating fruit in his mouth, his eyes would occasionally glance at the exposed hands and feet of the servants serving beside him.
"Fourth...Fourth Elder..." The servant couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that he would be targeted and eaten by Ye if he wasn't careful.
Zhao Zhao waved his hands in annoyance, and all the servants retreated. Zhao Zhao stood between the two tables, his face gloomy and his teeth clenched.
"How long have I been in this world?"
【Two days.】
"Really? I thought two years had passed already." The feeling of feeling like a year had been embodied.
The system chuckled in a humane way: [Now you understand how hard it is to raise a child.]
[So, in this world of quick travel, you, being so naughty, have caused countless headaches for your loved ones.]
Zhao Zhao was silent, and said, "But, isn't it you who set the character?"
System: .....Oh, it seems to be.
Zhao Zhao no longer paid attention to the system. Seeing Ye's eyes glancing at Yue's white and tender hands and feet again, he warned: "If you look at me again, you won't be able to eat anything."
"Why?" Ye retorted subconsciously, his eyes no longer darting around, staring intently at Zhao Zhao.
After dinner, Zhao Zhao went back to the garden and read "A History of Beasts" to the cubs. Her cold, emotionless voice sounded again.
"Loliel, the second ancestor of the dragon race, was born with a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth..."
The two cubs lay on the desk, one following the butterflies with his eyes, and the other staring at the little bugs wriggling on the ground.
"Little one."
Zhao Zhao looked up and saw a man in purple clothes walking on the garden path not far away. He raised his eyes and smiled at him with an elegant posture. He was more beautiful than flowers. Just standing there, his enchanting appearance was enough to attract people's attention.
Yue and Ye simultaneously raised their heads to look towards the source of the sound. Xiyan's deep gaze fell on the two cubs and asked Zhaozhao, "Are these the two young masters that Master Feng asked you to teach?"
The man exuded a mysterious and noble aura, and the hem of his purple robe swayed gently with his movements. When you get close to him, the terrifying pressure from him makes people breathless.
Zhao Zhao tilted his head back unconsciously. Xi Yan chuckled, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes narrowed with enchanting charm: "What? I've only been away for a year, and you've become a stranger to me?" The familiar fragrance on his body drifted into Zhao Zhao's nose.
