Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Female Mother, Why Is Baby No. 2 So Black?

The little one’s ribs had been violently kicked and broken.

He had drunk the Vitality Water, and over the past two days, she had seen that his ribs had already healed. Still, she worried they might not be fully fused or could have hairline fractures.

She quickly placed her hand on his little belly.

The touch tickled Dabao, who giggled and kicked his legs wildly.

"Female mother, that tickles! Hahaha, I’m ticklish!"

Shen Yue watched him roll around and kick his feet, and she let out a sigh of relief.

’They’ve healed properly!’

’And his bones feel even stronger now!’

Joy bloomed in her heart. He was just too adorable, his little round eyes squinting into smiling crescents.

She couldn’t help but gently ruffle his fur and play with him.

"Ticklish, are you? Come on, let female mother tickle you. Is it here?"

Her fingers tickled his chubby little belly.

"Hahaha, it tickles, it tickles! Female mother, that tickles!"

The little one giggled endlessly. Even as his four little legs kicked about, he was careful to avoid Shen Yue’s hand, afraid he might scratch her.

Shen Yue’s heart melted. Dabao was truly an Angel Baby.

He was so small, just born, yet he already knew to protect her.

No matter how excited he got while playing, he always kept his little claws in check, careful not to scratch her.

She couldn’t resist scooping him up and burying her face in his fluffy little head.

"Dabao, you’re such a good boy for your female mother! Mwah!"

Dabao closed his eyes in bliss, affectionately pressing his wet little nose against her cheek. He mimicked her and gave her a little kiss back.

"Female mother is Dabao’s good female mother, too! Mwah!"

His antics made Shen Yue burst out laughing.

’This little guy copies everything he sees. He’s just too cute.’

"Female mother, Er Bao wants some too!"

Their playful roughhousing woke up Er Bao, who was sleeping on the straw mat.

The little black furball rubbed his eyes with a tiny, adorable paw and gave a pitiful look to Shen Yue and Dabao in her arms.

Shen Yue’s heart nearly melted at the sight!

She reached out and pulled him into her arms too, cooing in a high-pitched voice,

"Oh dear, did female mother and Dabao wake you up? Come here, come here. Let female mother hug our little Mo Mo and make it all better!"

The two little ones were held affectionately in her arms.

They snuggled contentedly into her embrace, acting spoiled.

Then, Dabao looked at the Little Black Panther and asked in his squeaky, high-pitched voice,

"Female mother, why is Er Bao so black?"

PFFT—

Shen Yue burst out laughing.

’I should say he fell into a vat of black dye.’

But she said aloud, "Because Er Bao was born with black fur, that’s why he’s so black!"

Dabao’s round eyes stared at Er Bao.

"But Er Bao doesn’t seem to look like me, either~"

’When children ask such sensitive questions,’ Shen Yue thought, ’you have to guide them carefully.’

She stroked Er Bao’s small frame.

"That’s because Er Bao is a Black Panther, and you’re a Golden Lion. But no matter what breed you are or what color your fur is, you’re still brothers. You’re both my good boys, and you have to protect each other. Got it?"

Dabao nodded emphatically.

"Yes! Dabao remembers! Dabao will protect female mother and Er Bao!"

Er Bao enjoyed Shen Yue’s stroking, his big round eyes slightly narrowed.

"Yes, Er Bao remembers too. Er Bao will protect female mother and Big Brother!"

A smile touched Shen Yue’s lips.

’Two Angel Babies. Being a mom, even an unexpected one, is so worth it.’

’I love this so much!’

She couldn’t help but glance at the five remaining eggs. ’The rest should be Golden Lion Babies... or maybe Black Panther Babies, right?’

’There won’t be a third breed, will there?’
