Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Be a Baby Who Doesn’t Lie and Is Always Himself

His subordinate hurriedly pulled out some dried goat jerky.

"General, you should eat something, even if it’s just this."

Mu Silin looked at the dry jerky in his hand, then glanced down at the roasted wild goat sizzling with oil. His deep eyes narrowed.

He took a deep breath, accepted it, and took a savage bite.

He used to think dried goat jerky was quite tasty, but now it was completely flavorless, like chewing on wax.

His subordinate also chewed on a piece of the dry jerky.

"General, what do you think Miss Shen Yue’s roasted wild goat tastes like?"

’I really want to try some!’

’When will I ever get to taste it?’

Mu Silin forced down a mouthful of the jerky. ’He wanted to know what it tasted like, too!’

’It definitely wouldn’t taste like the dry jerky in his own hand.’

Down below, the stomachs of the little cubs trailing Shen Yue had been growling with hunger for some time.

She called out, "Dinner’s ready!"

The little cubs scrambled to their seats at the stone table. Even the little ice-block, Sanbao, stared unblinkingly at the roasted goat in the center.

While Shen Yue had been cooking, she had told Dabao and Er Bao to teach their younger brothers some table manners.

So, having listened to Dabao and Er Bao’s instructions, the little cubs were sitting quietly and not fidgeting.

Of course, there were one or two stubborn exceptions.

"Si Bao, no licking the meat."

"Wubao, your paws are dirty! Don’t grab the meat with them!"

Dabao, ever responsible, kept a close eye on Si Bao’s outstretched tongue and Wubao’s paw.

As Shen Yue walked over carrying the soup, she glanced at the two little culprits.

"Si Bao, Wubao, you’re not behaving. Didn’t you hear the lesson on table manners Dabao just gave you? You have to follow the rules!"

The two little cubs, who had been about to sneak out their paws again, flinched and pulled them back at her words.

Si Bao immediately denied it.

"Female mother, it wasn’t me! It was Wubao!"

The Little White Tiger was stunned. He hadn’t expected the wolf cub to deny it on the spot and sell him out.

He stared with his big, round tiger eyes.

"Why are you lying? Female mother, it was Si Bao, not me!"

Shen Yue paused, surprised that the two little cubs were trying to pin the blame on each other right in front of her.

It’s natural for children to lie instinctively to hide their mistakes, afraid of being punished. But she had seen both Si Bao and Wubao. They were caught red-handed and still wouldn’t admit it.

If she didn’t guide them properly, one child’s habit of lying could lead the others to follow their bad example. Si Bao had already led Wubao astray right before her eyes.

Shen Yue sat down and looked at the two cubs. Under her gaze, Si Bao and Wubao immediately deflated, lowering their eyes, not daring to meet hers.

"Si Bao, Wubao, why won’t you look at female mother?"

Neither of the two cubs said a word, and the others beside them didn’t dare to speak either.

Shen Yue’s voice was very gentle.

"Female mother isn’t scolding you or yelling at you. Why are you afraid to look at me?"

Wubao listened, thought for a moment, and looked up at her, his ears drooping.
