Chapter 1288: You Can’t Afford to Hurt a Little Bird Who Can Eat Spicy Food
“Screech!” Right replied happily, then lowered his head to drink water.
The other four children came over as well, standing in a row by the river and drinking water.
The uniform formation, despite them being of different species, gave one the feeling of “blood-related brothers”.
Bai Qingqing smiled, then quietly swam a little further downstream, continuing with her bath.
After Bai Qingqing washed up, she brought the children back to the dining table. An’an was already done eating and was placed onto the chair by Winston.
“An’an, did you miss Mommy?” Bai Qingqing smiled and picked An’an up, then immediately said, “She has gotten a little heavier.”
After another season, An’an would be two years old. Her arms and legs were starting to grow long and slender, with her looks getting increasingly beautiful.
It was just that she still refused to speak or walk. Bai Qingqing’s good mood was once again clouded.
“You lazy bum!” Flicking lightly on An’an’s forehead, Bai Qingqing placed her on the table and coaxed gently, “Come, walk for Mommy.”
An’an’s legs were placed on the table. She managed to stand, but she didn’t move at all. She just continued to look her mommy in the eye.
“Have some food first.” Parker served the last dish and saved An’an from Bai Qingqing’s grasp. At the same time, he threw a jealous glare toward Curtis.
Curtis ignored the gaze and just poked the food he was interested in. Bai Qingqing then picked up Right and asked, “All the food on the table can be eaten. Which one would you like to eat?”
“Screech?” This was the first time that Right had seen cooked food that wasn’t barbecued meat. He couldn’t recognize what each item was. He closed his eyes and randomly pointed to a food basin with his wing.
It was a basin of spicy meat slices. There wasn’t a big serving, and only Bai Qingqing and An’an liked to eat that.
Bai Qingqing pursed her lips and secretly smiled, picking up one piece to feed him.
Seeing his mommy’s strange smile, Right suddenly didn’t dare to open his mouth. However, he still ate it.
When the tip of his tongue came into contact with the hot and spicy meat slice, Right’s round eyes became even rounder. His expression was strange as he swallowed the entire piece whole, his black and yellow spotted beak opened and closed as he pondered over the taste. His eagle face continued to remain stunned for very long.
“Does it taste good?” Bai Qingqing asked.
Right then smacked his beak again, making “ka ka” sounds, his pitch-black eyes starting to turn wet as a layer of water enveloped them. He then opened his mouth big, unable to close them up.
“Gah… Gah…”
Bai Qingqing was speechless as she poked Right’s little chest, asking worriedly, “Are you alright?”
“Gah!” Right let out an agonizing cry, quickly turned his head, then dashed straight for the back door.
Then, as a “splash” rang out, everyone didn’t need to think to know that he had jumped into the river.
“Mischievous!” Curtis tapped the tip of her nose.
Bai Qingqing felt very aggrieved. She had no idea Right’s tolerance for spicy food was so low. The leopard cubs could still eat a few slices.
Muir also shook his head helplessly, picking up some raw meat with a basin, called Left to join him, then headed for the river.
Parker explained, “Little eagles don’t have teeth and can’t chew. They can’t tell if the food tastes good. We can just feed them with some raw meat.”
“So that’s how it is!” Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, then went out to take a look.
Right was like a duck in the water, opening his mouth and swimming around, sometimes sinking and sometimes floating. Left was already standing at the side eating happily.
Bai Qingqing put her hand to her forehead, apologizing to Right in her heart.
Right had been dealt a great impact by the spiciness, and he became groggy for the rest of the day, drooling non-stop. In the end, he squatted in his daddy’s grass nest and fell asleep, with a long trickle of saliva hanging off from the corner of his beak.
