Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Which Bastard Stole Our Mushrooms

The reality of seeing his son was nothing like he’d imagined.

’He... he’s really a father now?’

He’d been alone for a century, and now, out of the blue, he had a child. The sudden fatherhood truly caught him completely off guard...

"Look, everyone. Even our Sanbao, Chi Yan, is worried about his female mother. That means deep down, our Sanbao is a very warm person. He loves his female mother so, so much and is terrified of her getting hurt, right?"

Down below, Shen Yue’s voice overflowed with love and happiness.

Sanbao, whose face had been completely expressionless, showed a subtle change. He snuggled into her embrace.

"Mm."

Huang Ziyue’s gaze deepened. ’So, my son’s name is Chi Yan.’

’It’s a good name. Sounds nice.’

Below, the other little cubs were still crying.

"Liu Bao loves his female mother too! Liu Bao is scared of his female mother getting hurt!"

"Dabao too! Dabao will blow on it for my female mother. Didn’t you say it stops hurting if we blow on it?"

"Si Bao is scared too! Si Bao doesn’t want his female mother to get hurt at all!"

"WAAAAH, my female mother is still bleeding! What do we do? Er Bao is scared! Father! Ancient Bear Father, hurry... I don’t want my female mother to be bleeding!"

Er Bao wailed, snot and tears streaming down his face.

Watching him, Shen Yue let out a snort of laughter.

She set the little cubs on the ground and slowly stood up. She lifted her arm; it was a little painful, but bearable.

Her eyes shone, radiating maternal love.

"Look, my babies. Your female mother is fine. My arm is perfectly okay, it doesn’t hurt at all."

Just then...

"A Yue! Are you okay, A Yue?!"

Just then, Si Muye’s anxious voice arrived as he rushed over like a gust of wind.

Shen Yue happened to be looking back over her shoulder, a smile on her lips.

At last, her face was in full view.

Her exquisitely beautiful face and her eyes, as gentle as rippling water, instantly filled Huang Ziyue’s vision.

In that instant, the verdant mountains and lush scenery lost all color in his eyes.

Only she, a vision of dazzling beauty, captivated him utterly.

The subordinate beside him gasped.

"So... so beautiful!"

Si Muye was also momentarily dazed by Shen Yue’s glance, but he had no time to admire it; he had already spotted her bleeding arm and dusty hair.

He closed the distance in two strides, anxiously taking her arm.

"Your arm! How did you get hurt? What happened?"

The little cubs immediately started chirping all at once.

"Ancient Bear Father, a rock fell down!"

"The rock hurt our female mother, that’s why she’s bleeding!"

"Father, hurry and stop the bleeding! Er Bao doesn’t want our female mother to bleed!"

As he listened, the heartache on Si Muye’s face was palpable, and his eyes filled with self-blame.

"A Yue, does it hurt?"

Shen Yue curved her lips into a smile. "It’s a small wound. It doesn’t hurt much."

"How could it not hurt? The cut is so deep."

With that, Si Muye bent down. "I’ll carry you back so we can clean it."

Before she could react, Shen Yue felt her feet leave the ground as he scooped her up into a princess carry.

She immediately felt a bit awkward. This was her first time being carried like a princess. She cleared her throat.

"I’m really fine. Put me down, I can walk on my own!"

"No. I’m carrying you."

"Um, I really can walk. Besides, I haven’t gotten my things. I gathered mushrooms! I was going to make you all chicken stew and mushroom soup when we got back!"

Si Muye stopped in his tracks.

"Where are they? I’ll get them."

Shen Yue pointed to a large tree up ahead. "Not far. They’re right under that tree."

The little cubs darted ahead to lead the way.

"Ancient Bear Father, they’re right up ahead!"

"Our female mother gathered so many mushrooms!"

Held in Si Muye’s arms, Shen Yue could feel his firm chest, and her face began to feel hot.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Mu Silin’s fists were clenched tight.

"That damned bear!"

’It was my heroic deed! I was the one who saved her!’

’And yet, he’s the one holding her.’

His subordinate standing beside him didn’t dare make a peep.
