As everyone resumed skewering meat, Xiao Zhong’er couldn’t stop thinking about the chicken breast that Song Yutu’s ability had just cooked, sizzling with juices.

Holding a freshly skewered piece, Xiao Zhong’er quietly poked Song Yutu’s arm.

Feeling the poke, Song Yutu turned to the “culprit,” Xiao Zhong’er, raising an eyebrow. “Hmm? What’s up?”

Lowering his voice and acting mysterious, Xiao Zhong’er said, “Song Yutu, could you use your ability to cook this skewer for me?”

At first, Song Yutu thought Xiao Zhong’er had some important reason to talk to him, not realizing it was just a request to cook a skewer with his ability…

He sighed. “Abilities aren’t meant to be used like this…”

He wasn’t a humanoid barbecue grill! His powers weren’t for these trivial things!

Xiao Zhong’er pouted in dissatisfaction. “Just one sentence. Are you helping or not?”

“I’m not helping,” Song Yutu coldly refused.

“You cheapskate! Cheapskate!” Xiao Zhong’er looked thoroughly annoyed. “It’s just a little bit of your power! Why be so stingy? Cheapskate!”

Song Yutu sighed. “Fine, fine, I’ll do it.”

“Whoosh—” The skewer in Xiao Zhong’er’s hand immediately wrapped in a layer of orange-red flames.

Xiao Zhong’er’s eyes sparkled like stars from excitement. “Wow! Song Yutu, you’re amazing~”

Song Yutu raised an eyebrow. “Not calling me a cheapskate now?”

Xiao Zhong’er flattered him, “Hehe, you’re the most generous generous ghost!”

Song Yutu teased, “Why still a ghost? Can’t I just be human?”

Quick-thinking, Xiao Zhong’er immediately gave a thumbs-up. “Then you’re the most generous human!”

The skewer quickly cooked, sizzling with juices and filling the air with a tantalizing aroma. Xiao Zhong’er inhaled deeply, intoxicated by the smell. “Wow! This smells incredible!”

He opened his mouth wide and chomped down on a piece.

“Wow! So delicious! How can it taste this good?” Xiao Zhong’er was immediately won over by the flavor, shoving skewer after skewer into his mouth, cheeks puffed out.

“So good, so good!” He closed his eyes in bliss, holding his chubby cheeks with one hand. “It’s absolutely delicious!”

“Song Yiran, you should try it too!” Xiao Zhong’er swallowed, then held out the skewer excitedly to Song Yiran. “Song Yiran, this skewer is super tasty! You’ve got to try it!”

Curious, Song Yiran asked, “We haven’t started grilling yet. How do you already have a cooked skewer?”

“Hehe, I had Song Yutu use his ability to cook it for me~” Xiao Zhong’er smiled, pushing the skewer forward. “Just try it, it’s amazing!”

Song Yiran took a bite and was immediately impressed. “Delicious!”

The meat was cooked perfectly, and the first bite released a burst of savory juices.

Song Yutu’s eyes sparkled as he eagerly approached. “Brother, do you want me to use my ability to cook more skewers?”

Xiao Zhong’er was shocked by Song Yutu’s sudden change in attitude, frowning in disbelief and shaking his head slightly.

Xiao Zhong’er thought: You weren’t like this with me just now…

More than the delicious skewers, Song Yiran cared about Song Yutu’s well-being. “But won’t that tire you out?”

Song Yutu confidently assured him, “Don’t worry, brother. Not at all!”

Seizing the chance to show off, Song Yutu rolled up his sleeves and began grilling with his ability.

Like a showman, he snapped his fingers, and “whoosh”—all the skewers on the plate were engulfed in lively orange-red flames.

The skewers sizzled, releasing waves of tempting aroma, making everyone’s stomachs growl.

Once the skewers were fully cooked, Song Yutu bowed elegantly as if taking a curtain call. “Now, please enjoy my masterpiece—Flame-Grilled Skewers!”

Everyone clapped enthusiastically, especially Song Yiran, who looked at Song Yutu with pride. “Good job, my darling! Brother is proud of you!”

Song Yutu cleared his throat theatrically. “Thank you all for your encouragement! I wouldn’t be here without my dear elder brother’s support!”

The little ones clapped even harder, eyes full of admiration.

Song Buli: “Brother Dudu is amazing!”

Song Yang: “Brother Dudu is awesome!”

And so, the skewer feast began.

Everyone sat around the table, skewers piled high. Xiao Zhong’er held skewers in both hands, eating until his face was shiny with grease.

The little ones’ mouths were also messy, but they didn’t care—they were focused on the delicious skewers before them.

But not everyone was happy.

At least, Song Yuan and Song Yuetao were not.

They were too young to eat real food, so they had to sit there sadly with their bottles of milk powder.

Song Yuetao chewed his pacifier angrily, as if he were biting into the delicious skewers.

Everyone else was eating, but they were stuck with milk powder. Song Yuetao felt increasingly wronged.

He wanted to rebel! He wanted skewers too! He didn’t want milk anymore!

If anyone else wanted it, fine, but he refused!

Song Yuetao spat out his pacifier harshly. “Ugh! I don’t want milk anymore!”

He started throwing a tantrum, jumping onto the grass, rolling around. “Ahhh! I want skewers too! I don’t want milk anymore!”

Song Yuan imitated him, spitting out her pacifier, putting down her bottle, and decisively joining him, rolling on the ground.

Song Yuan: “Waaah… me too, me too! I don’t want milk! I want skewers!”

The two little ones rolled on the ground, getting grass and mud on themselves.

Song Yuan: “Waaah… brother is unfair! Waaa… we want skewers too!”

Song Yuetao: “Waaa… if we can’t eat skewers, we won’t get up! Waaa…”

They rolled and cried loudly, and Song Yiran quickly went over, picking them up to console them.

Upon closer inspection, he realized the two were all show—they cried loudly, but not a single tear was in their eyes.

Song Yiran wasn’t upset, though. He gently patted their backs, soothing them. “Brother’s little darlings, don’t be mad, okay?”

He explained, “Brother isn’t being unfair. You’re just too young. You need to be at least a month old before you can eat normal food.”

He comforted them, “Brother promises, when you can eat normal food, I’ll make you a big feast!”

He softly asked, “Don’t be mad, okay?”

Song Yuan pouted. “I… won’t…”

Before she could finish, Song Yuetao blocked her mouth with his hoof.

He smiled obediently at Song Yiran. “Then brother, you have to keep your promise!”

Song Yiran thought he had finally calmed them down, smiling and promising, “Yes! Brother promises that when you can eat normal food, I’ll make a big feast. I absolutely won’t go back on my word!”

Just as Song Yiran relaxed, Song Yuetao suddenly jumped from his arms straight for the skewers on the table.

He grabbed a skewer in his mouth and tore off a piece like a hungry tiger.

Song Yuan also jumped from Song Yiran’s arms and dashed toward the skewers.

Just as he was about to grab a skewer, his body suddenly floated into the air. Looking back, he saw that Song Yutu had used his tail to lift him up.

Song Yuan struggled in midair, unwilling to give in, but it was useless. No matter how much he wriggled, Song Yutu’s tail didn’t loosen its grip even slightly.

Meanwhile, Song Yuetao managed to take a bite of the skewer—but only one bite.

Just as he was about to take a second bite, Song Buli, in an act of righteous fraternal intervention, snatched the skewer right out of his mouth.

Song Buli looked at Song Yuetao disapprovingly: “Taotao, you need to be obedient, okay?”

Song Yiran immediately crouched down, anxious, and asked: “Taotao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your stomach hurt?”

Song Yuetao, savoring the taste of the skewer in his mouth, shook his head: “Nope, I’m fine.”

Still uneasy, Song Yiran quietly asked Xiao Zhong’er to scan Song Yuetao’s body data.

Xiao Zhong’er: “I scanned his body. The data shows: he’s perfectly healthy.”

Xiao Zhong’er suggested: “Song Yiran, I think it’s better to allow than forbid. If you stop them from eating, they’ll want it even more. This isn’t a sustainable approach.”

Song Yiran hesitated: “But…”

Xiao Zhong’er continued: “Both of them are very healthy. They can handle normal food now. Maybe you could let them try?”

Song Yiran glanced at Song Yuetao, then at Song Yuan, and finally made a decision: “Alright. From today on, you can eat normal food.”

Hearing this, Song Yuan and Song Yuetao’s eyes sparkled with stars, and they said in unison: “Yay!”

Song Yiran frowned and added: “But if you feel uncomfortable or unwell while eating, you must tell your brother, okay?”

The two cubs obediently nodded: “Okay~”

The skewer-eating session resumed, and this time, everyone enjoyed it thoroughly.

Song Yuan and Song Yuetao each held two skewers, then crossed them in celebration.

Song Yuetao happily said: “Let’s celebrate that we don’t have to drink milk powder anymore!”

Song Yuan excitedly echoed: “Celebrate!”

Xiao Zhong’er sat contentedly eating skewers and suddenly asked a very important question: “Song Yiran, how do Song Yuan and Song Yuetao hold the skewers with their hooves?”

Song Yiran froze. Right, how do they manage that with hooves?

He fell into deep thought.

Xiao Zhong’er poked Song Yutu: “Song Yutu, how do you think Song Yuan and Song Yuetao pick up skewers with their hooves?”

Song Yutu, too, was puzzled. He had never considered this before.
