Chapter 182

Zhang Fan, Fei Er, and the others were chatting happily at this moment, completely failing to notice the lion hair all over the floor.

Ba Ke Er had just finished cleaning the room, coming out of the bedroom with a broom and rag. He immediately saw the lion hair all over the floor; knowing his child's habit, he could tell with his toes that this was definitely Le Le's doing.

He shook his head, Ba Ke Er smiled helplessly, then walked over to the children, scooped up Le Le in one arm, and softly asked: "Le Le, did you pull the brothers' hair again? Look, was it you who did it?"

Le Le looked at Ba Ke Er with a blank face, grinning showing teeth. Clearly meaning "I don't understand what you're saying." Seeing this, Ba Ke Er felt he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The little lions saw Ba Ke Er's expression change, hurried over, heads held high, chattering, and began to explain to Ba Ke Er.

"Uncle Ba Ke Er, don't be angry! It's not Le Le Little Brother's fault! It's our own fur that fell out." Said Sen Ge, the eldest little lion of Nuoya's family.

Ba Ke Er lowered his head, looking at Sen Ge putting on a serious face, and said: "I know it was Le Le who did it; you don't need to take the blame for him."

Sen Ge saw that his words didn't get through to Ba Ke Er, secretly kicked his younger brother, obviously wanting his brother to help.

However, Sen Ge's younger brother Sen Pa didn't understand his older brother's meaning at all, instead looking blankly at his older brother, puzzled and asking: "Brother, why did you kick me?"

At this moment, Sen Ge felt devastated! He had actually been muddle-headed, wanting to ask his brothers for help! My goodness! I must be crazy!

Ba Ke Er watched the two brothers' movements, secretly amused, but his face showed no expression at all.

"Alright, you guys go play over there!" Saying that, Ba Ke Er had already put Le Le down, then added: "Le Le, remember! Never pull the brothers' hair again! You guys also remember, never let Le Le pull your hair! Otherwise… you'll bear the consequences!"

The slightly drawn-out tone made the few children's hearts fill with endless imagination. So when Ba Ke Er's words fell, the little ones hurriedly nodded in agreement. Even Le Le giggled and nodded.

Seeing this, Ba Ke Er said nothing more, just picked up his broom again and resignedly began sweeping the main hall.

At this moment Zhang Fan had no idea what had just happened. He only knew his belly had been kicked out of shape by the little ones inside.

"Ouch! Be gentle! You've kicked your dad sore! Little brat, you don't even know to feel sorry for your dad, daring to kick me!" Zhang Fan, who had been happily chatting with Fei Er and the others, suddenly clutched his belly and began to shout.

Fei Er, upon hearing Zhang Fan say the little ones in his belly had moved, stopped chatting and lunged onto Zhang Fan's belly, placing his whole face and both hands on it.

Feeling the force coming from Zhang Fan's belly, Fei Er's face lit up with joy and he excitedly shouted.

"Hahaha! I felt it! I felt it! The little one in my belly is now kicking my face! Wow! So full of energy! Look! Look! Fan Fan, you've got at least two in there!"

Nuoya and Wu Na, hearing Fei Er say that, also became interested, pulled Fei Er over, and eagerly lay down to listen to the fetal movement.

Zhang Fan, being messed with by these three, lost his temper, laughing and scolding: "You guys heartless, don't you care about me at all? All you do is listen to fetal movement!"

"Hahaha! Fan Fan, don't be angry! Look, your belly's baby is so energetic, you should be happy! Right? Nuoya?"

Fei Er, while comforting Zhang Fan, also shamelessly threw the question to Nuoya.

Nuoya helplessly gave Fei Er a big white-eye, then laughed and said to Zhang Fan: "Right! Right! Right! Fei Er is right!"

Wu Na looked at Fei Er and Nuoya's little movements, and with a 'pfft' they burst out laughing.

Upon hearing Wu Na's laughter, Zhang Fan obviously didn't understand why. He had a puzzled look, watching Wu Na furrow brows and asked: "Wu Na, what are you laughing at?"

Wu Na finally managed to hold back laughter, but upon hearing Zhang Fan's question, they suddenly couldn't keep it in, laughing and waving hands as they said: "Nothing, nothing!"

Zhang Fan, seeing no answer forthcoming, stopped worrying about it and turned his attention to Ba Ke Er, who was diligently cleaning. Watching Ba Ke Er tidy up the nooks and crannies of the house in an orderly manner, Zhang Fan unconsciously broke into a smile.

Fei Er, seeing Zhang Fan shift his attention, couldn't resist the urge to scare Zhang Fan mischievously.

Thus, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Fei Er suddenly slapped Zhang Fan's chest and shouted loudly: "What are you looking at!"

Moreover, Fei Er's scare and slap really did startle Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan, upon regaining composure, pried open Fei Er's hand resting on his chest, then placed his own hand there and began to gently rub it, all while gritting his teeth and saying: "What are you doing, Fei Er! You scared me half to death! And you hit me so hard it hurts!"

"No way! I didn't use much force—why are you saying it hurts? You never reacted like this before! What's wrong with you?" Fei Er, obviously also startled by Zhang Fan's reaction, asked anxiously.

Wu Na and Nuoya, watching the two from the side, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! That's hilarious! Can you two be any funnier?" Nuoya laughed so hard tears were about to spill.

Exactly! You two are really funny! Fei Er, you don't know that pregnant males, in the later stages of pregnancy—around three to four months—start to experience chest swelling, right? Fan Fan, you surely don't know that either, do you?

Wu Na had been laughing happily, but upon seeing Zhang Fan and Fei Er both looking bewildered, they hesitated a bit before speaking.

Zhang Fan, hearing Wu Na's question, began to recall what had happened to him recently, and then asked Wu Na solemnly.

Wu Na, what's the deal with this chest swelling? I've been like this for several days, but I've been too embarrassed to ask my elders. Wu Na and Nuoya, as experienced ones, should know, right?

Ah? Fan Fan, you really don't know? Good grief! You've been pregnant this long, almost due, and you still don't know what's going on? This is utterly ridiculous!

Regarding Zhang Fan's question, Nuoya and Wu Na both expressed serious doubt.

Only Fei Er steadfastly believed Zhang Fan.

Come on, just tell us! What's going on? You're the experienced ones—guide us two newbies! I'm begging you!" Saying this, Fei Er made a pleading gesture, looking sincerely at Nuoya and Wu Na.

Well, alright, alright! Since you're being so sincere, Fei Er, I'll tell you!" Wu Na glanced at Zhang Fan, then at Fei Er and Nuoya, and finally said helplessly.

Mm-hmm! Good, good, good! Go ahead! We're listening, right, Fan Fan!" Fei Er said, walking behind Zhang Fan and naturally placing both hands on his shoulders, speaking.

Exactly! I'm listening too! Wu Na, hurry up and speak—I'm about to die of anxiety!" Zhang Fan looked at Wu Na and said urgently.

Actually, females experience chest swelling in the later stages of pregnancy, which is quite easy to understand. Think about it—what do newborns eat?" Wu Na said, posing the question to Zhang Fan and Fei Er.

Zhang Fan almost instinctively wanted to say it was milk, but then he thought, Le Le obviously drinks meat soup after birth! So he naturally answered that it was meat soup.

But to his surprise, Wu Na and Nuoya outright rejected his answer.

No, Fan Fan, how could a newborn possibly drink meat soup? Never mind digestibility—just the question of whether they'd drink it is a big issue.

But… Le Le drank meat soup right after birth!" Zhang Fan said hesitantly after hearing Wu Na and Nuoya.

As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, Fei Er beside him suddenly burst out laughing.

Hahaha… Fan Fan, you're really hilarious! How could Beastmen babies be the same as Dragon Beast babies? Beastmen babies, no matter the species, of course drink milk after birth! How could they drink meat soup!

Le Le drinks meat soup because he belongs to the Dragon Beast Tribe! Dragon Beast babies are oviparous; the females have no milk to give them, so Dragon Beast newborns eat the food provided by their parents.

And Le Le's species is the Exquisite Dragon Beast, which is a Carnivorous Dragon Beast, so him drinking meat soup is completely instinctive!

After hearing Fei Er's explanation, Zhang Fan understood the difference. He also realized the embarrassing cause of his chest swelling.

So, females experience chest swelling in late pregnancy because they need to produce milk, so the newborn can be fed right away, correct?

Although Zhang Fan had figured it out, he still couldn't help asking the two experienced ones for clarification.

Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, Wu Na couldn't help nodding and laughing, answering his question.

Exactly! Right on, Fan Fan! You figured it out so quickly! Haha… We females develop this condition precisely to produce milk!

Zhang Fan, upon hearing, felt as if the sky were about to collapse; instantly he felt even breathing difficult, and the whole world was pitch black.

"So… do we still have to breastfeed the child ourselves? But our chests are so small, so flat, they don't seem able to hold much milk!" Zhang Fan was like that; even after knowing the facts, he couldn't help doubting the truth of the facts.

After all, in his understanding, only women breastfeed children, and what are women like? Clearly, they are a type who, even when not lactating, have two round mounds of flesh on their chest.

Here, the females all give birth and breastfeed, yet he still couldn't help comparing himself to them.

Wu Na saw that Zhang Fan still had doubts about this, helplessly shook her head, didn't speak, and walked straight up to him. She grabbed his hand, held his wrist, and placed his palm inside her clothing.

When Zhang Fan felt the two round mounds on Wu Na's chest, his eyes widened instantly and his mouth unconsciously opened wider. After he came to, he asked somewhat hesitantly:

"This! This! This! This—how is this happening? How did your chest grow so much? And it's so soft!"

Wu Na saw Zhang Fan's incredulous expression, slightly curled the corner of her mouth, and said with a light smile, "You just said our females' chests are small, didn't you? Do you still think that now, Fan Fan?"

Fei Er saw Zhang Fan's look as if struck by lightning, also couldn't help becoming a bit curious, and rushed forward, slipping his hand into Wu Na's clothing. When he felt the soft two mounds of flesh, he merely gave an understanding smile and said nothing.
