After eating a sticky, bubbly meal, Shengxia snuggled in Wolf King's arms and fell asleep.
Aoki's eyes reddened with envy.
He had heard that some females experience significant mood swings after becoming pregnant and may suddenly become very clingy to their partners.
Why doesn't my baby stick to him?
I hadn't slept long when I woke up hungry in the middle of summer.
She sat up sleepily, yawned widely, and rubbed her eyes.
"I'm so hungry."
Yang Yun and Qingmu, who were processing bamboo shoots in the warehouse, both poked their heads out at the same time.
Aoki: "The baby's awake?"
Yang Yun: "What do you want to eat?"
In the beast world, the females are in charge. Even if Shengxia doesn't realize this, the males in the family all follow her wishes.
"I want to eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, as well as cold bamboo shoot salad, pickled bamboo shoots, and sour bamboo shoots..."
In the height of summer, Yang Yun rattled off a long list of dishes, becoming increasingly excited as she listened.
So many dish names! I can learn new recipes now!
Shengxia realized what she had said only after she finished speaking, and she smiled sheepishly.
I'm so hungry, I'm tired of all the food in the restaurant.
It's not like she's Versailles; while other families can't even get enough to eat, she has more food than she can finish.
We eat the same things every day; we're so tired of it.
Such huge winter bamboo shoots arrived at once, and I couldn't help but blurt out the names of all the dishes I knew.
"Let's make a stir-fry of bamboo shoots with pork. Blanch them in water before stir-frying, and add some chili peppers!"
Sheng Xia looked at Yang Yun with anticipation, and couldn't help but swallow as she thought of the spicy and crisp stir-fried bamboo shoots.
"good."
Yang Yun's excited peach blossom eyes were slightly red. Holding a bamboo shoot, she walked briskly to the kitchen.
Before long, a steaming bowl of tofu pudding and a large plate of golden, crispy fried dough sticks were served.
"Baby, have something to fill your stomach, I'll go cook some vegetables."
"It looks delicious!"
In the height of summer, I couldn't wait to grab a fried dough stick, stuff one end into the tofu pudding, soak it in the juice, and take a big bite.
He squinted and began to chew.
Aoki Shin was almost melted by the cuteness; ears suddenly popped out of her head and twitched.
The baby is so cute. His cheeks are chubby when he eats, just like a little baby. I really want to go over and pinch them.
Aoki suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.
"Little one, can bamboo shoots be preserved? Xiong Qi and the others sent over a lot, filling an entire warehouse."
"By the way, he said that Chengguo used your acupressure massage method and it worked very well."
Shengxia covered her mouth, saying incredulously.
"A whole warehouse? So many! Did they dig up all the bamboo shoots in the entire bamboo forest?"
Their warehouse is very large. How could they have dug up so many bamboo shoots in just one afternoon?
That definitely needs to be properly processed and preserved.
"No, they only dug up more than half of it."
Aoki said with a grin.
In the height of summer, she beamed with joy at the thought of tender bamboo shoots, finally able to change things up.
"Keep some for the next couple of days, soak a big vat of pickled bamboo shoots, and slice and boil the rest. Wolf King will dry them."
"good."
Wolf King chuckled and nodded.
In the height of summer, she turned her head, glanced at the bright sunshine outside, and looked at Wolf King with anticipation.
How long until the snow season is over?
"It'll be soon. The weather is starting to warm up, and it won't snow anymore."
Wolf King smiled slightly, rubbing her delicate little hand, and replied in a doting tone.
His features were exquisite, and when he smiled, his deep eyes were as gentle as a breeze.
In the height of summer, she momentarily lost in a crush, looked up and kissed him, then shook her head to regain her composure, her bright eyes sparkling.
Let's celebrate with a bamboo shoot hot pot!
Her cheeks flushed when she smiled, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. Her eyes widened when she talked about hot pot.
Aoki couldn't resist any longer. He squeezed in next to Wolf King and poked her cheek with his finger.
So cute! So cute!
I really want to hug him and cuddle him!
The male was strong, and Aoki didn't know his own strength; Shengxia felt like her face was numb from being poked.
Shengxia pulled his hand away, pretended to take a bite, and said coquettishly with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Aoki! Stop fooling around."
Aoki beamed with joy. The spot where the little one had bitten him felt tingly and numb. He raised his hand and placed it near her mouth.
"Little one, bite me again. Don't just stick to Wolf King and Sheep Cloud, stick to me too, okay?"
It feels so good to be relied on by my little one!
Sheng Xia smiled helplessly, sat up straight, took his hand and kissed it, then rubbed her face against his hand affectionately.
"I like being close to you too."
"Really?"
Aoki's eyes lit up with delight.
His deep brown eyes widened with excitement, his handsome, angular face exuded masculinity, and his golden hair was dazzling.
He's so handsome and devoted to her, it's hard not to fall in love.
A sweet feeling welled up in Shengxia's heart, and she nodded affirmatively.
"Really! You're wonderful, I really like you."
Aoki's eyes blazed with ecstasy as he looked at Shengxia with excitement, remaining silent for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter.
He knew that his son still loved him.
Shengxia kissed his hand and chuckled softly.
"Alright, let's get ready to eat hot pot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yun walked over carrying a steaming pot, bringing with him the numbing and spicy aroma of hot pot.
"Little one, are you hungry? Come and eat, bamboo shoot hot pot."
Yang Yun's cool voice came from behind the white mist, and Sheng Xia stood up excitedly.
Aoki and Wolf King's hearts skipped a beat. They instinctively stood up and reached out to support her on either side.
"Don't rush."
