Song Yiran covered his face in embarrassment—he seemed to know exactly which step had gone wrong.

Xiao Zhong’er replayed the scene from just now and carefully compared it. In the end, he discovered that Song Yiran had taught it incorrectly.

Normally, you should step out with the right front leg first, then the left hind leg, followed by the left front leg, and finally the right hind leg.

However, Song Yiran had completely reversed the order.

When Song Yang stepped out with his right front leg, Song Yiran pushed out Song Yang’s right hind leg. When Song Yang stepped out with his left front leg, Song Yiran pushed out the left hind leg again.

Song Yiran had been manually helping Song Yang walk according to a human way of walking. By human standards, that sequence wasn’t wrong—Song Yiran himself walked that way.

But Song Yiran walked on two legs, while Song Yang walked on four. The methods of walking between the two couldn’t be lumped together.

And so it resulted in the current situation—Song Yang ended up walking out of sync.

Song Yiran’s face flushed red with shame. How could he make such a low-level mistake?

Feeling guilty, he apologized to Song Yang. “Sorry, Yangyang. Big brother taught you wrong just now. You should step out with the right front leg first, then the left hind leg, then the left front leg, and finally the right hind leg.”

“Yangyang, let me demonstrate it for you again, okay!”

Song Buli walked over again to demonstrate. This time, he walked even slower than before—just lifting a single foot took him thirty seconds.

After completing one round, Song Buli stopped and looked at Song Yang with anticipation. This time, Yangyang would definitely be able to learn it, right?

Song Fu cheered Song Yang on from the side. “Go, little brother!”

Song Xiuhu walked over and affectionately rubbed his head against Song Yang’s. “You can do it! You definitely can!”

Nervously, Song Yang scratched at the dirt on the ground with his claws. He could do it. He had to cheer himself on!

First, the right front leg. Song Yang cautiously stepped out with his right front leg. Then it was time to step—step… the right hind leg!

“Song Yang” reminded him in time, “Wrong! Left hind leg!”

Right, it should be the left hind leg. Song Yang stepped out with his left hind leg. Very good—so far, nothing had gone wrong.

Next, the left front leg, and then… then… the left hind leg?

“Song Yang” couldn’t help rolling his eyes. He said disdainfully, “Wrong again! Now it’s the right hind leg.”

Was this idiot really related to him by blood? How could he be so stupid?

With “Song Yang’s” reminders, Song Yang successfully solved the problem of walking out of sync. Truly cause for celebration, cause for celebration!

Song Yiran took the lead in applauding. As he clapped, he praised him with relief, “Yangyang is amazing!”

“Everyone else is amazing too! You’re all really great!” Song Yiran didn’t forget to be fair at a time like this.

“Oh, right! Today big brother is going to install a huge swing in the courtyard! A swing that all the babies can sit on together and play!”

After hearing this, Song Fu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Wow! Such a big swing!”

Song Fu really liked swings. He had played on the small swing in the courtyard many times yesterday afternoon. He loved the feeling of being lifted up while sitting on the swing.

But the small swing could only seat one person at a time. If there were a big swing, everyone could swing together!

Song Xiuhu was also somewhat looking forward to the big swing, though not especially so.

Because he liked the seesaw more—the seesaw in the courtyard was his favorite piece of equipment.

Song Buli liked the slide more, but compared to the slide, what he liked even more was Song Yiran.

So this time he praised without thinking. “Wow! Looking forward to it! The swing big brother installs will definitely be really nice!”

Only Song Yang looked at everyone’s reactions in a daze. Was a swing fun?

He had never played on a swing before. When he was wandering in the past, he had only seen other children playing on swings from afar, outside the park.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to play on a swing—he simply never had the chance.

Back then, he worried every day about making a living. Every time he opened his eyes, he worried about whether he could find food that day.

Every single day, he tried his best to look for food. He had no spare time to play. Only by using all his time to search for food could he ensure he wouldn’t starve to death.

Feeling a little awkward, Song Yang flicked his tail. He wanted to pretend he was worldly and experienced, but the confusion in his eyes was completely seen by Song Yiran.

“Oh! Speaking of swings, big brother suddenly really wants to push a swing! Would you all be willing to sit on the swing and let big brother push you?”

Instead of directly taking Song Yang to experience the swing, Song Yiran thought of a roundabout way.

Song Buli was the first to jump out. “Me! I’m willing!”

Song Xiuhu raised his paw and joined in. “Me too, me too!”

“And me!” Song Fu also joined.

The little bit of awkwardness in Song Yang’s heart completely vanished at this moment. “…I want to as well.”

“Count me in!” Xiao Zhong’er also wanted to play on the swing.

This swing activity was incredibly fun for everyone, and Song Yang also experienced the wonderful feeling of a swing.

When he sat on the swing and was gently pushed by Song Yiran, he felt freedom.

The swing pushed him forward again and again. He sat there swinging, swinging, swinging, as if he were about to swing all the way up into the sky.

When Song Yang came down from the swing, his eyes were shining brightly, as if they were filled with countless little stars.

Using his weight advantage, he nimbly climbed up onto Song Yiran’s shoulder. Then he affectionately nestled his head beside Song Yiran’s braid and expressed his feelings in words, “I like big brother the most!”

Song Yiran smiled gently and patted Song Yang’s fluffy little head. “Big brother likes all of you the most too!”

Song Yiran then crouched down and patted each of the babies’ heads, as well as Xiao Zhong’er’s.

“Song Yang” was so jealous that his facial features twisted. He gritted his teeth and said, “You guy… how is it that you’re just so lucky…”

Aren’t they clearly the same person? So why is it that, despite being the same person, their fates are completely different…

Song Buli also felt a bit jealous of Song Yang inside. No, he couldn’t be jealous of Yangyang, his little brother.

Although he also really wanted to lean against big brother’s shoulder, he wasn’t as light as Yangyang. If he leaned over too, big brother would get tired…

If only he were a bit lighter.

Song Yiran quickly noticed the loneliness in Song Buli’s eyes. Oh no—he hadn’t balanced things properly again!

But that wasn’t a problem. He was a master at keeping things balanced!

Song Yiran directly scooped all the cubs and Xiao Zhong’er into his arms, then also took Song Yang down from his shoulder and held him in his arms as well. After that, he went around and gently patted each of the cubs’ heads, including Xiao Zhong’er.

“Wow! This swing is really nice!” Song Yiran propped his chin with one hand and looked at the swing parts in front of him, full of admiration.

Xiao Zhong’er put his hands on his hips smugly. “Of course! Products from the system are always top-quality! Nothing from our system shop is ever poor quality!”

“But…” Song Yiran looked at the pile of parts scattered on the ground and started to worry. “Can the two of us really handle this?”

Xiao Zhong’er actually didn’t feel very confident either. He’d never done this kind of work before, but he still pretended to be calm, holding the instruction manual and reading it over and over.

“We should be able to… right? We’ve got the instructions. As long as we install it according to the manual, nothing will go wrong!”

And so, one human and one system worked hard in the courtyard, assembling the swing.

Meanwhile, the cubs played freely in the yard.

Song Fu and Song Xiuhu went to play on the seesaw. They had already made a deal: Song Fu would first play seesaw with Song Xiuhu, and then Song Xiuhu would accompany Song Fu to play on the little swing.

Song Buli, on the other hand, took Song Yang to stroll around the yard.

“Brother Lili, why are all the other trees in the yard so big, but these five trees are so small?”
As Song Yang wandered around the yard with Song Buli, he noticed five little saplings. Compared to the tall trees in the courtyard, these five saplings were worlds apart.

Song Buli explained, “These trees were planted by big brother! They were only planted not long ago. Even though they’re still very small now, they’ll definitely grow really, really big in the future!”

He then excitedly pointed to a patch of land nearby. “And this patch here—we planted seeds here together, big brother and I! Big brother said they’ll turn into pomelo trees later and grow lots and lots of pomelos!”

“Pomelos are super tasty! They’re sweet when you eat them!” Song Buli continued, enthusiastically describing the flavor of pomelos to Song Yang.

Over on Song Yiran’s side, everything was going very smoothly. The swing had now been firmly secured to the thickest branch of the cherry blossom tree.

Xiao Zhong’er looked proudly at the final result. “Hehe, see? I told you we could do it!”

Now there was only one last step left: quality testing.

Song Yiran personally sat on the swing to test its sturdiness, while Xiao Zhong’er stood behind him and helped push.

Very good—no problems appeared. Next, the intensity of the test had to be increased.

Song Yiran laid a sheet of paper on the swing, then stood up on it. Not only did he stand there—he directly started jumping up and down on the swing to test its durability.

Very good, the swing was still perfectly stable.

Song Yiran jumped down from the swing, then took down the piece of paper he had dirtied with his foot. He pulled out another sheet and carefully wiped the swing clean.

Mission accomplished!

Song Yiran stood in front of the swing with satisfaction, admiring the results of his and Xiao Zhong’er’s efforts.

The swing was very large—long and wide—completely pink, with an exquisite backrest, some carved designs, and a soft cushion where you sit.

Song Yiran called all the little ones over, and they were completely amazed by the swing.

“Wow!”

“So pretty!”

“Brother is amazing!”

“Wow! It looks so nice!”

Smiling, Song Yiran said to the little ones, “Let’s swing together!”

The little ones responded in unison, “Okay!”

They nimbly jumped onto the swing, leaving space in the middle for Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er.

Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er sat down as well.

Song Yiran had the longest legs among them and was the only one whose feet could touch the ground while sitting on the swing.

So he took on the responsibility of getting the swing moving.

With a strong push of his legs against the ground, the swing began to sway with momentum.

They all swung back and forth, laughter from the little ones and Xiao Zhong’er filling Song Yiran’s ears, and soon his own face was lit up with smiles.

Cherry blossoms floated down gently on them, like a rain of petals.

In the heart of “Song Yang,” a sour feeling began to rise. Why did the naïve, innocent one get to live so well?

He wanted to swing with Song Yiran too. He wanted to be loved by Song Yiran…

Yes—“love.”

He could tell that when Song Yiran looked at Song Yang, there was love in his eyes.

Not just for Song Yang—the same warmth and gentleness could be seen when Song Yiran looked at the others as well.

Warm and gentle love…

If he had woken up earlier, if it had been him who Song Yiran had taken back…

Then could he have been loved too?

All of that jealousy and envy finally turned into a soft sigh: “Yet, fate is different for the same soul…”
