After feeding, Song Yiran helped them burp.
Then Xiao Zhong’er brought out two cribs, and the babies were laid down gently.
Song Yiran tucked them in and sang softly:
“Sleep, sleep, my dear child…”
Under the lullaby, they soon fell asleep.
Everyone lowered their voices.
People kept coming in to admire them, and Song Yutu took dozens of photos.
They looked soft and adorable, with dense fluffy fur and no horns yet.
They seemed like perfect little angels.
But this was only on the surface.
Both were actually wild.
After waking up, Song Yuan immediately ran into the yard to play.
Song Yuetao jumped off the bed and started wrestling with Song Buli and the others.
Song Yue Tao kept provoking Song Bu Li and the others, trying to get them to fight him and compare their strength.
Most of the children didn’t want to fight someone who had just hatched not long ago, so in the end, only Song Fu and Song Xian Yue accepted the challenge.
They went to the courtyard and chose a corner as their battleground. The other children gathered around excitedly to watch.
Xiao Zhong’er happened to pass by and saw the kids eagerly preparing for a fight. He immediately ran to the kitchen to find Song Yi Ran, who was making dinner.
“Song Yi Ran! Something bad happened! Those little guys are having a duel in the yard!”
Without turning his head, Song Yi Ran continued preparing the ingredients.
“They’re just kids. They like playing and roughhousing. As long as it doesn’t go too far, let them be.”
Xiao Zhong’er shouted loudly, “This time it’s different! One of them is Song Yue Tao, who just hatched today!”
Song Yi Ran immediately stopped what he was doing. While taking off his apron, he hurried toward the courtyard.
By the time they arrived, everything was already over.
Song Fu and Song Xian Yue had been knocked down by Song Yue Tao with just two hooves. The two cubs lay on the ground in despair, unwilling to accept their crushing defeat.
Song Fu: Why did I lose to a little brother who just hatched?
Song Xian Yue had begun questioning his existence. Was he really the older brother? If he was, why couldn’t he even beat a newborn? Could it be that he was actually the younger one?
Song Yue Tao stood proudly and said, “I won!”
Before he could celebrate for long, he saw Song Yi Ran and Xiao Zhong’er rushing over.
“Hi, brother!” Song Yue Tao waved his hoof happily.
“Brother, I fought them and I won!”
Song Yi Ran strode over angrily, squatted down, and pinched Song Yue Tao’s chubby cheeks.
“You little rascal! You just hatched and you’re already fighting! In a few days, are you going to tear the roof off too?”
With teary eyes, Song Yue Tao mumbled,
“Mmm… I was wrong…”
Seeing his pitiful look, Song Yi Ran softened and sighed helplessly.
“It’s good that you know you were wrong.”
“I’m not saying you can’t play with them. But you just hatched. It’s too dangerous for you. When you’re a little older, you can roughhouse with them all you want.”
After lecturing him, Song Yi Ran turned to Song Bu Li and the others.
“Kids, if Yuan Yuan and Tao Tao want to fight you, don’t fight back. If they keep pestering you, tell me and I’ll talk to them.”
“Okay~” They nodded obediently.
Suddenly, Song Xian Yue gasped.
“Brother, Yuan Yuan is eating tree bark!”
He pointed toward a small grove in the yard, his eyes full of shock.
Song Yi Ran’s heart skipped a beat. He looked over—
Song Yuan was gnawing on the bark of a locust tree!
A patch of bark had already been chewed bare. Song Yuan was chewing happily, as if it were the most delicious food in the world.
Song Yi Ran nearly fainted on the spot.
Regaining himself, he rushed over at top speed and stopped Song Yuan.
Blocking him from the tree, he crouched down and asked gently,
“Baby, why are you eating bark? Are you hungry? Brother will make you milk, okay? Don’t eat that.”
Song Yuan finished chewing and swallowed before replying slowly,
“Brother, I think tree bark tastes really good.”
Song Yi Ran almost blacked out again.
He took a few deep breaths and said softly, “Baby, bark can’t be digested. If you eat too much, it’ll stay in your stomach and make you uncomfortable.”
“Let’s drink milk, okay? Milk is tasty too.”
Song Yuan tried to bargain.
“Can’t I eat just a little bit every day?”
Song Yi Ran shook his head firmly.
“No.”
Song Yuan had no choice but to give in.
“Okay…”
Only then did Song Yi Ran relax.
Taking care of kids was really exhausting. They always did strange things and had no sense of danger.
Children were born without rules or awareness. They acted on impulse and couldn’t see hidden risks.
Like Song Yuan and Song Yue Tao—one fought right after hatching, and the other went to eat tree bark.
That wasn’t their fault. It was his responsibility to teach them.
If kids knew everything from birth, what would guardians be for?
He would teach them right and wrong, how to live in this world, and life skills like cooking and farming.
He believed cooking was important. Even though nutritional supplements existed in the interstellar era, real food was still preferred.
Except for the poorest people, most chose meals over nutrient solutions.
The cheapest nutrient solution cost only 1 credit and could fill someone up, something normal food couldn’t match.
That evening’s dinner was seafood fried rice and spicy seafood stew.
Everyone ate happily—except Song Yuan and Song Yue Tao.
They could only drink milk and wouldn’t be able to eat real food for another month.
At Night – Song Yi Ran’s Room
The two cubs gloomily sucked on their bottles.
Song Yi Ran comforted them,
“In one month, you’ll be able to eat real food. Brother will make you a feast!”
The words “feast” cheered them up instantly.
“Okay~!”
Song Yi Ran was actually a little jealous. When he was young, he couldn’t eat real food until he was one and a half—and even then, only bland porridge.
He only started eating normal food at four.
He also took a long time to learn how to speak properly.
Since the two had just hatched, he moved their cribs into his room so he could take care of them at night.
After they finished drinking, he burped them, laid them in their cribs, and tucked them in.
Song Yue Tao blinked at him.
“Brother, can you tell me a bedtime story?”
Song Yuan echoed,
“Me too!”
Song Yi Ran took out a fairy tale book and began reading softly.
“Long ago, in a fairy kingdom, lived a gloomy knight…”
He told the whole story.
In the end, the knight gained wealth and status and fulfilled her dream.
The two cubs gradually fell asleep.
Song Yi Ran closed the book and gently tucked in their blankets.
He took out his calendar and circled March 31 of next year—their hatching day.
After yawning, he went to shower and sleep.
Meanwhile
Song Yu Tu lay in bed, chatting with his brothers from another world.
[Song Yu Tu]: [Video] @Song Yuan @Song Yue Tao

[Song Yuan]: You’ve got good taste.
[Song Yue Tao]: True. I was way too cute back then. As expected of me!
