Song Yiran hung the freshly washed clothes out in the courtyard to dry.

A breeze passed through, and the clothes hanging on the pole fluttered in the air like a thin mist.

He walked toward the place where the cubs were playing and told them the news that the nursery was going to be expanded.

“Babies, our nursery is going to be expanded!”

Song Xianyue wagged his tail and asked, “Brother, what does ‘expanded’ mean?”

The other cubs also looked at Song Yiran eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Song Yiran smiled and explained, “Expanded means the nursery will become very, very big!”

“In a little while, workers from the renovation company will come. If you don’t want to see strangers, you can stay in your rooms, okay?”

“Okay~” The cubs all nodded.

At 4:50, the renovation team had already arrived at the nursery.

Workers were going in and out around the nursery, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.

Song Fu and Song Yinyun squatted in the courtyard, curiously watching the workers.

Song Xiuhu took Song Yuexin and Song Chiyu to the dormitory. The three cubs sat together on Song Xiuhu’s bed chatting.

Song Yuexin couldn’t stop thinking about the cookies he’d eaten earlier.

“The cookies Brother made were really, really delicious!”

Just thinking about that wonderful taste made Song Yuexin lick his lips.

It was the first time he’d ever eaten food that tasted so good.

The fragrant, sweet, and crispy little cookies had already completely captured Song Yuexin’s heart.

Song Chiyu also thought the cookies tasted great, but what attracted him even more than the flavor was their appearance.

“The little cookies are the same shape as little flowers! They’re so pretty~”

Song Xiuhu nodded repeatedly. “Everything Brother makes is super delicious!”

In the kitchen, several little cubs were stumped by garlic cloves.

Song Yiran was originally preparing dinner in the kitchen, with Song Buli, Song Yang, and Song Xianyue following beside him.

The three cubs were like his little shadows, following him wherever he went.

The most enthusiastic among them was Song Xianyue. He also seemed to be a little chatterbox, constantly trying to help.

“Brother! Brother! Is there anything I can help with?”

“Brother! Brother! Do you really not need my help?”

“Brother! Brother! If you need help anywhere, you have to call me!”

Under this atmosphere, Song Buli and Song Yang also became more enthusiastic, wanting to help as well.

Song Yiran felt both gratified and helpless.

Gratified because the children were so caring and wanted to help him.

Helpless because they were still too young and simply not suited to help in the kitchen.

When stir-frying, oil could splash and hurt them.

When cutting vegetables, if they suddenly stretched out their hands, they could get injured too.

As members of a family, doing housework together was perfectly normal.

But the children were still too young and not suited for dangerous tasks.

However, he also didn’t want to dampen their enthusiasm.

Song Yiran broke apart two heads of garlic and placed the separated cloves in front of the cubs.

“Then you can help Brother peel the skins off the garlic cloves!”

Song Yiran looked at the cubs with a smile. At this moment, the three cubs still had no idea of his sinister intentions.

The cubs nodded seriously. “Okay!”

Song Yiran smugly watched the cubs stretching out their little paws, working hard to peel the garlic cloves. The corner of his mouth twisted, revealing a wicked smile.

Xiao Zhong’er couldn’t help quietly complaining, “Eww! You look so greasy when you smile like that!”

Song Yiran immediately restrained his smile, raised a fist to his mouth, and coughed twice. “Ahem! Alright, I’m going to prepare dinner.”

He turned around and threw himself into the great task of cooking.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the kitchen, the cubs were still battling the garlic cloves.

Song Xianyue fiddled with a clove using his paws for a long time but still couldn’t peel the skin off.

But he didn’t get discouraged at all—his enthusiasm grew even higher, and even his tail wagged faster.

Song Buli was attracted by Song Xianyue’s constantly wagging tail.

While fighting with his own garlic clove, he asked, “Xianyue, your tail seems to be wagging all the time!”

“Doesn’t that get tiring? Do you want to let your tail rest a bit?”

From the moment they met until now, Song Xianyue’s tail had never stopped moving.

Song Buli was worried that if it kept wagging like this, it would get tired.

“Nope, not tired at all!” Song Xianyue shook his head.

He gave Song Buli a big smile. “Because I’m very happy! When my tail is happy, it wags—and it doesn’t get tired at all!”

Nearby, Song Yang had been defeated by the garlic clove.

He couldn’t peel off even a single layer of skin!

With no other choice, Song Yang asked Song An for help.

In his heart, he acted cute and begged, “Brother~ good brother~ help me, okay~ please~”

Song An helplessly raised a paw to cover his forehead. “Put that look away! I’ll help, alright?”

“Hehe! Thanks, Brother~”

Song An took over the body, and the eyes of that body turned golden.

This change caught Song Xianyue’s attention.

Song Xianyue stopped peeling garlic and immediately ran over to Song An.

“Wow! You’re Brother Song An, right? Hello, Brother! I’m Song Xianyue!”

Earlier, when the cubs were getting to know each other, Song Yang had told the newly arrived cubs about the situation between himself and Song An.

At the same time, he’d also told them how to tell the difference between him and Song An.

So when Song Xianyue saw those golden eyes, he immediately realized that the one controlling the body now was Song An.

Song An nodded reservedly. “Mm. Hello.”

After that, Song An began his own battle with the garlic cloves.

At first, he was extremely confident.

They were just garlic cloves. With a slight effort, he’d be able to peel them all!

However, once he actually started, he realized just how naive his thoughts had been.

These garlic cloves clearly looked so small, so insignificant.

So why were they so hard to peel?

Song Yang noticed Song An’s difficulty and said weakly in his heart, “It’s okay if you can’t peel them either, Brother. I can’t peel them anyway.”

Song An had originally felt the urge to give up, but after hearing Song Yang say that, he decided not to quit.

He retorted in his heart, “Hmph! Such a trivial matter—how could I not be able to do it?”

“Just wait. I’ll have them peeled in a moment!”

Although he said that, in reality Song An had no confidence at all.

But he’d already talked tough—there was no way he could let that silly sweet kid laugh at him!

Song An glared fiercely at the garlic clove in his hand, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it, then gritted his teeth and continued battling the garlic clove.

Several of the little ones were completely stumped by the garlic cloves.

Xiao Zhong’er hovered in the air, taking in the entire scene.

Xiao Zhong’er thought: Song Yiran, terrifying as ever!

All these little ones were completely at the mercy of Song Yiran.

Even when dinner was served, none of the little ones had managed to peel a single clove.

They all admitted defeat.

This round went to the garlic cloves.

Song An handed his body over to Song Yang, then retreated to a corner in his mind.

Song Yang wanted to comfort Song An: “Brother…”

But before he could finish, Song An interrupted him.

“Don’t talk to me. I don’t want to talk to anyone right now…”

Song An sank into confusion. “Garlic cloves… such simple garlic cloves… why can’t I do it…”

He repeated these words over and over, turning the whole little one a sad shade.

Song Yiran covered the prepared dishes with a food cover, then began making drinks.

He planned to make drinks that looked good and tasted even better.

First, he poured a small amount of mint syrup into the bottom of the cup, then added some lemonade, followed by some strawberry chunks, and then some honey water.

Finally, he tore edible rose petals into tiny pieces and sprinkled them on top.

A green-to-pink gradient drink was ready, and he also made portions for the workers.

Song Yiran took off his apron and walked up to the little ones who had been defeated by the garlic cloves.

He collected the garlic cloves and then asked, “Little ones, do you want to go with me to give drinks to the workers?”

“Yes!”

Song Yiran grabbed a large tray, placed the drinks for the workers on it, and carried it out to the yard.

The workers’ dinner was provided by the renovation company, and it was now their mealtime.

The workers had nutritional drinks as well as regular boxed meals.

Some leaned against the wall, chatting while sipping their nutritional drinks, while others sat on their small foldable stools eating boxed meals.

Song Yiran carried the drinks over, with the little ones following closely behind.

Seeing this, Song Fu and Song Yinyun in the yard followed as well.

Song Yiran smiled at the workers and said, “Thank you all for your hard work! I made some drinks for everyone.”

The team leader of the workers came forward, smiling as she took the tray from Song Yiran.

“You’re too kind, boss! On behalf of everyone, thank you for the drinks!”

The team leader distributed the drinks among the workers, then returned the tray to Song Yiran.

Song Yiran waved his hand. “Just leave the tray here for now. After you finish, put the cups back on the tray, and I’ll collect them to wash later.”

“Got it! Thanks, boss!”

After delivering drinks to the workers, Song Yiran returned to the dorm and called the three little ones there to eat.

Eight little ones formed a line and followed Song Yiran.

Xiao Zhong’er’s imagination turned them into a big rooster leading a group of chicks for a stroll.

He shook his head, deleted the strange mental image, and followed the group back to the kitchen.

Tonight, Song Yiran prepared fried pork cutlets, fried chicken legs, stir-fried water bamboo shoots, wood ear mushroom with meat, and seaweed fish ball soup.

Each meal also included a meat patty steamed with egg next to everyone’s bowl.

Everyone enjoyed this meal very much.

Song Xianyue loved every dish, wagging his tail more joyfully with each bite.

Song Xiufu picked out many dishes he thought Song Yuexin would like.

After all, they were twin brothers. Song Yuexin was his younger brother, so he had to take extra care of him.

Song Yuexin and Song Xiufu had similar tastes, and he liked all the dishes Xiufu picked for him.

Song Yinyun was satisfied with the meal, lazily licking his paws after finishing.

Song Chiyu cared more about presentation than taste.

While all the dishes were delicious, he favored the ones with the most attractive plating.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhong’er took a photo of the meal and sent it to the family group chat.

[Mother]: Read.

[Younger Sister]: Again something related to that guy? Aren’t you tired of it?

[Faithful Guardian of the Great God of History]: He cooks so well! I can never get tired of it!

[Younger Sister]: 9.

[Younger Sister]: Is that the point?

[Younger Sister]: I mean, stop posting things about him in the family group chat!

[Younger Sister]: Is he part of our family? What does he have to do with us?

[Faithful Guardian of the Great God of History]: QAQ I just wanted to show off…

[Younger Sister]: …Fine, whatever.

[Faithful Guardian of the Great God of History]: ●v●
