Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huanhuan’s stomach no longer hurt, but her body was still very weak. She couldn’t teach cla.s.ses for the time being, so she could only ask Dong Ya’s sister, Dong Xue, to help subst.i.tute for her. Although Dong Xue was delicate and introverted, her learning speed was unexpectedly fast.
Dong Xue was now the student with the best grades in the cla.s.s. As long as it was homework a.s.signed by Huanhuan, she could complete it very well.
More importantly, she was especially serious and careful. She was also very gentle to the children. The students in the cla.s.s trusted this gentle and delicate big sister.
Huanhuan handed the task of teaching the cla.s.ses to Dong Xue.
It was obviously Dong Xue’s first time accepting such an important mission. She was so nervous that she stammered, “Teacher, d-don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best. I won’t disappoint you!”
!!
Huanhuan smiled and stroked her head. “All the best. I have high hopes for you.”
Dong Xue blushed at the praise.
She and her brother were always blushing. As long as they were slightly agitated, their faces would turn red.
What a lovely pair of siblings.
Huanhuan asked, “How’s your brother’s injury?”
Speaking of her brother, Dong Xue became even more excited. “Brother is much better after taking the medicine. Moreover, he’s awakened his soul beast!”
Huanhuan was very surprised and asked her to elaborate.
“Brother was about to die. After taking the medicine that you got someone to give him, he quickly woke up. Not only did he recover, but he also accidentally awakened the soul beast in his body. Now, Brother is already a one-starred soul beast!”
Soul beasts were very powerful. When Dong Xue thought of her brother becoming a soul beast, her eyes lit up with excitement.
Now that she had learned a lot and her brother had become a soul beast, the siblings were getting better and better.
And all these changes had begun after they arrived at the Rock Wolf Tribe.
Dong Xue was filled with grat.i.tude for Huanhuan and the Rock Wolf Tribe.
Huanhuan smiled. “I didn’t expect Dong Ya to benefit from this misfortune. He’s lucky!”
Dong Xue smiled shyly. “It’s all thanks to you, Teacher Huanhuan!”
The two of them chatted for a while longer.
Dong Xue only stood up to leave when Sang Ye walked in with hot meat porridge.
Huanhuan asked her to stay for lunch.
Dong Xue quickly waved her hand. “Brother is still at home waiting for me to eat with him. He just awakened his soul beast and is still very weak. I’ll come back to visit you tomorrow. Goodbye, Teacher!”
She scurried away like a rabbit.
Sang Ye scooped the meat porridge with a wooden spoon and brought it to Huanhuan’s mouth.
Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m not crippled. You don’t have to feed me. I can do it myself.”
Sang Ye’s face was still expressionless, but his tone was stubborn. “I just want to feed you.”
Huanhuan sighed helplessly. “Alright.”
With the thought that her husband was insisting on spoiling her, she opened her mouth and ate the meat porridge he fed her.
After eating most of the porridge, she slowly waved her hand and said, “I’m full.”
Sang Ye touched her stomach and made sure that she was really full. Then, he put down the wooden spoon and lowered his head to finish the remaining meat porridge in the bowl.
Huanhuan watched him and felt her face heat up.
It was funny. Although they were already an old couple, she still blushed sometimes because of their small actions.
After eating and drinking, Huanhuan wanted to go out for some air.
Sang Ye agreed readily.
He wrapped Huanhuan in his cloak and covered half her face with the veil made from snow silk cloth. Then he picked her up and strode downstairs to the living area.
Huanhuan poked his chest with her finger. “Put me down. I can walk.”
Sang Ye refused bluntly. “No.”
“Why?”
“You’re still sick. You’re weak. You can’t walk around.”
Huanhuan tried to defend herself. “I’ve recovered. I’m just taking a slow walk. I should be fine.”
“No, I’m worried.”
Huanhuan rambled on about a lot of things, all of which were along the lines of ‘I’m fine now. I can walk on my own.’
Sang Ye listened to her quietly, but he refused to let go of her.
On the way, they encountered many familiar faces. When they saw Sang Ye and Huanhuan, they stopped and greeted them with smiles.
Sang Ye did not like to speak and maintained a cold expression from beginning to end.
Huanhuan’s face was covered by the veil, but that didn’t stop her from responding to the wolf beasts’ enthusiasm. She smiled and chatted with them.
After walking around the residential area, Sang Ye saw that Huanhuan was a little tired, so he carried her back.
They had just reached the house when they saw Big Goody running out of the courtyard.
As soon as she saw Huanhuan and Sang Ye, she immediately rushed over and shouted excitedly, “Fathers are back!”
Huanhuan woke up immediately.
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling were back?!
Sang Ye carried her into the house, and they saw saw Bai Di and Shuang Yun.
Shuang Yun reached out and hugged Huanhuan. He rubbed against her face and muttered, “You smell the best.”
Huanhuan hugged his neck and said happily, “You’re finally back! I missed you so much!”
“We missed you too.”
Huanhuan looked up from Shuang Yun’s arms at Bai Di, her eyes bright. “I have a surprise for you.”
Bai Di walked over and kissed her lips. His blue eyes were filled with tenderness. “Yes? What surprise?”
Huanhuan shrank into Shuang Yun’s arms shyly. “Guess first.”
Bai Di’s gaze followed her. Even though she was hiding in Shuang Yun’s arms, she could still feel his gaze on her.
He smiled as if he were coaxing a child. “I can’t guess. Huanhuan, tell me the answer, okay?”
Huanhuan took his hand and gently placed it on her abdomen.
“I’m pregnant.”
Bai Di’s smile faltered as if he couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t resist asking, “Pregnant? My children?”
Huanhuan snorted. “If it’s not your children, whose children are they? Are you gonna deny it?!”
Seeing that the little female was unhappy, Bai Di quickly took her from Shuang Yun’s arms.
He sat her in the crook of his arm and gently stroked her abdomen with his other hand. His eyes seemed to ripple. They were unbelievably gentle. “I’m not denying it. I’m just so happy that I can’t believe it’s true.”
Huanhuan pressed her hand against his and said, “It’s true. We’re going to have very cute tiger babies soon.”
The wolf cubs also came over. They all stared at Huanhuan’s stomach, curious about what their future siblings would look like.
The lotus drooped down and rubbed against Huanhuan’s abdomen affectionately.
Shuang Yun hooked his arm around Sang Ye’s shoulder and raised his eyebrows with a smile. “After Bai Di’s child is born, shouldn’t you work hard to make Huanhuan pregnant with a nest of snake babies?”
Sang Ye thought of his erectile dysfunction and fell silent.
