Chapter 777: Chapter 570: Stop, You Guys Stop! Don’t Fight Anymore

On the eve of entering the kitchen, Huang Jun took a moment to step aside, carrying the big cat cage with the Orange family’s trio inside. Beside him, Qingqing and Weiwei held hands, lively and bouncing, as they happily headed towards Orange’s residence.

Upon reaching their destination...

Huang Jun carefully placed the cat cage on the soft mat where Orange usually played, then slowly opened the cage door.

"Meow~ Meow~"

With this long and cheerful cat meow, Orange darted forward like an arrow leaving the string. Its eyes sparkled with excitement, legs moving gracefully, as it raced around the open area.

Following closely, Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie eagerly attempted to leap out of the cage as well...

However...

Their actions were unexpectedly in sync, their speed astonishingly uniform...

At the very next second...

They encountered each other at the cage entrance, blocking each other’s way.

Then...

A small "scuffle" quietly unfolded; they pushed and shoved against each other, neither one willing to give way, as if both were vying for the right to explore their new world first.

"Oh no... not good..."

Seeing this, Weiwei’s heart skipped a beat, worried that her Pumpkin Pie might get hurt in this little scuffle. She hurriedly shouted, "Stop, you two stop, don’t fight anymore, please don’t fight~"

Qingqing was equally anxious, quickly echoing, "Yeah, don’t fight, you two stop, stop fighting..."

The two were so anxious that they were stomping their feet, wishing they could rush over and pull them apart, yet afraid of being accidentally scratched by a kitty paw, so they could only stand helplessly by, repeating "Stop fighting, stop it."

Alas, but alas...

Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie seemed completely absorbed in their own little world, ignoring their calls and continuing their "scuffle."

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Huang Jun stepped in, calmly and gently rescuing the cats from the cage one by one, placing them softly on the ground, finally ending this harmless little skirmish.

"Wow... Daddy is amazing... He rescued Pumpkin Pie and Meat Bun..."

Qingqing and Weiwei beamed, looking at Huang Jun with admiration.

Once free, Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie, like little ponies let loose, joyfully ran around the open space, then excitedly headed to the play area, reuniting with Orange before returning to their cozy little nest.

They huddled at Huang Jun’s feet, who was standing by the cat house, lifting their heads to gaze at him with those soulful eyes.

Come on, praise us!

Huang Jun chuckled, squatting down to gently extend his hand to stroke their heads, only to be playfully licked by their little pink tongues.

This scene made Qingqing and Weiwei, standing aside, feel envious, as they too reached out to their pets — Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie — with little hands.

And then...

Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie, as if they had planned it, simultaneously nudged their little owners’ hands with their noses, merely sniffing a few times, not returning the sweet licks like they did with Huang Jun.

At this moment.

Qingqing and Weiwei immediately felt a bit aggrieved, their mouths involuntarily pouting.

These little guys, Meat Bun (Pumpkin Pie), are simply ungrateful!

If not for them persistently pleading with Dad to take them in, they might still be rummaging through trash cans on the street for food!

Moreover, if it weren’t for them secretly giving extra snacks at home, could they have grown up so healthy, with shiny fur and rounded figures?

Their slight grievances didn’t escape Huang Jun’s notice. He smiled and said to Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie, "Meat Bun, Pumpkin Pie, go accompany your little owners now, cheer them up, and there will be a reward for you at lunchtime..."

As if understanding the deeper meaning in Huang Jun’s words, Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie immediately became excited, trotting happily towards Qingqing and Weiwei.

Initially, Qingqing and Weiwei pretended to be reserved, ignoring them, but eventually couldn’t resist their loving and pampering assault.

Oh!

After all, they are their beloved pets!

So...

Even with tears, they must continue to love them.

In the end, Qingqing and Weiwei let go of their fleeting feelings, smiling as they crouched down to embrace their beloved pets’ heads tightly.

Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie "meow meowed" in their little owners’ arms, surrendering themselves to affection, making Huang Jun watching smile gently.

"Chef Huang!"

Hearing the commotion outside the kitchen, Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, and Qian Guoxiang came out from the kitchen, warmly greeting him.

Huang Jun responded with a broad smile, "Oh, you’re all here! Are all the ingredients for lunch already prepared?"

Qian Guoxiang quickly nodded, "Yes, all the ingredients have been delivered; they are in the kitchen now!"

"Good!"

Huang Jun nodded in satisfaction, noting the cloths tightly clutched in their hands, and asked, "A big cleaning going on?"

Qian Guoxiang grinned, "Yes, after a winter break, the kitchen wasn’t very clean, so we decided to give it a good cleaning."

Although they had a thorough cleaning at the end of the last term, after a winter holiday, the kitchen inevitably gathered a thin layer of dust, necessitating another big clean-up at the start of the new term.

Starting the new semester with a clean slate.

Huang Jun nodded, "Well, it’s still early to start cooking, so I’ll join you in the cleaning."
