When beauty meets beasts

Bai Luo’s expression was quite interesting.

He originally thought that his second brother would say that if the children were unwilling to go back, he would let them stay in Sun City. He did not expect that in the end, he would force them to go back. This simple and crude method was very inconsistent with his second brother’s style.

Bai Luo was very surprised. “Must you go this far?”

“I don’t want to interfere with their choices, but Huanhuan’s greatest wish is for her family to be reunited. The others are on their way home. If Big White and Little White can’t go home, Huanhuan will definitely be brooding over this matter. I don’t want her to have any regrets.”

Bai Luo understood. “I can tell that Huanhuan cares a lot about her family.”

“You’re her family too.”

Bai Luo recalled the last time Huanhuan slapped him and couldn’t help but laugh at himself. “She’s very fierce to me.”

“As long as you’re obedient, she definitely won’t be fierce to you. If you’re dishonest, I’ll deal with you.”

Bai Luo recalled the last time his brother beat him up. He replied resentfully, “Got it.”

After leaving Bai Luo’s residence, Bai Di went to the camp.

He found Bai An and Bai Hao in the camp, who were feeding each other.

When the brothers saw their father, they stopped what they were doing and wiped the sweat off their faces. They respectfully called him father.

Bai Di didn’t beat about the bush. He went straight to the point. “I’ll bring Huanhuan home tomorrow. Are you willing to come back with us?”

The two brothers were stunned.

They knew that their father was taking them home this time, but they didn’t expect him to leave tomorrow. This was too soon.

Bai An asked, “Does Uncle know?”

Bai Di said, “I just told him.”

“W-What about Mom?”

“What about her?”

Bai An hesitated for a moment before asking, “Does Mom want us to go back?”

“Of course. Her greatest wish is for her family to be reunited.”

“But wasn’t she angry last night after what we said…”

It was Bai An who asked this, but Bai Hao was obviously equally concerned about this question. He pricked up his ears to listen to his father’s answer.

Bai Di said, “Will you apologize to her if I say she’s angry?”

Bai An and Bai Hao were silent at the same time.

Bai Di saw their reactions and said calmly, “From the looks of it, you must be feeling guilty, but you’re unwilling to admit your mistake and apologize. What are you being awkward about?”

After a long silence, Bai An squeezed out a dry sentence.

“I thought she wouldn’t need us anymore…”

“What do you mean by that?”

Bai An said, “She has a lot of children. We should be the two children who are the least close to her. Take Clement, for example. She takes care of him meticulously, but she’s very polite to the two of us.”

Bai Hao lowered his head. “I think it shouldn’t matter to her even if she loses us.”

Bai Di frowned. “Are you jealous?”

“It’s not exactly jealousy. I just don’t think she cares about us.”

Bai Di explained patiently, “You’ve been apart for many years. She’s not familiar with you and doesn’t know how to get along with you. That’s why she’s polite to you. When you get along and get used to each other, you’ll naturally become close.”

“Oh…”

“Are you still willing to go back with us?” Bai Di brought the topic back to their original goal.

Bai An and Bai Hao looked at each other.

As the elder brother, Bai An said, “Can you give us some time to consider?”

“Sure. We’ll leave tomorrow morning. You can come and tell me the answer before dawn.”

“Mhm.”

“Think about it. I’ll go back first.”

After Bai Di left, Bai An and his good brother no longer talked. They walked into the lounge beside them.

Bai An scooped two large bowls of water from the water jar and gave one to his brother.

Bai Hao paced back and forth in the lounge anxiously. When he saw his brother bringing him water, he frowned and said, “Thank you, but I’m not thirsty.”

They were brothers who had lived together for 20 years. They knew each other’s habits and thoughts very well.

Bai An said, “Are you still hesitating about whether you should apologize?”

Bai Hao asked, “Do you think I should apologize?”

“What you said last night was indeed a little too much. Mom must be very sad…”

“I was just being hasty and accidentally said those words. I didn’t expect her to hear me.”

Bai An looked sympathetic. “You’re so unlucky.”

Bai Hao looked dejected. “She was very polite to us to begin with. After last night, she probably doesn’t even want to be polite to us anymore. She must hate us now.”

Bai An finished the water in the bowl and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. “If you want to apologize, I can go with you.”

“Really?” Bai Hao stopped his shoulder. “You’re indeed my good brother!”

…

When Bai Di returned, he wasn’t surprised to see two more panda beasts in the house.

He went to cook lunch. Knowing that Ni Mei and Ni Ya liked to eat bamboo shoots, he specially stewed a large pot of bone soup.

The fragrance of the soup fused into the bamboo shoots. They were smooth and delicious.

Ni Mei and Ni Ya quickly ate the food in the bowl. Soon, they finished the entire pot of fresh bamboo shoots.

After eating and drinking their fill, they slumped into chairs with happy smiles on their faces.

Ni Mei said, “I want to find a male beast who can cook as my mate in the future.”

Ni Ya said, “I have to learn to cook too. That’ll make her look at me in a different light.”

‘Her?’

Huanhuan acutely caught the word. She leaned over and asked, “You have a crush?”

Ni Ya avoided her gaze, his handsome face red. “Yes.”

“Who?”

Ni Ya stammered and refused to say.

The more he did this, the more interested Huanhuan became. “Tell me about it. Perhaps I can help you.”

Ni Ya was still too embarrassed to say it. He turned to his sister beside him and urged her softly, “You promised to help me talk about it…”

Hence, Ni Mei said, “He has taken a fancy to your Big Goody.”

Huanhuan froze.

“Big Goody? Why didn’t I know about this?”

Blushing, Ni Ya whispered, “It’s just my unrequited love. It’s normal that you don’t know.”

“I see.” Realization dawned on Huanhuan. “Why do you like Big Goody? I remember that she used to bully you. Aren’t you afraid of her?”

“Although she used to hit me, she knew her limits and never hurt me. She’s a very good female.”

Huanhuan recalled how he was beaten up by Big Goody when he was young. She couldn’t help but think deeply. Was this child a masochist?!
