However, Lou Yu bought it without hesitation and studied it carefully many times. Unfortunately, he didn't have any practice tools, so his practical experience is currently zero.

Lou Yu didn't dare to make any boastful claims, only saying, "I can give it a try, but I'm not sure I'll be able to comb it well."

"It's alright," Second Cub said. "We can try slowly. There's still plenty of time today. Lou Yu, Dad, you don't need to rush back to the base like before."

Hearing Second Cub's words, Lou Yu relaxed a lot.

Yes, he can stay here for a long time this time, without having to rush everything. And the kid is willing to give him a chance to try and fail, so what's there for him to hesitate about?

"Okay, let's go to the table."

Lou Yu picked up Second Cub giggled happily.

Tao Qiu, Eldest Cub, and Third Cub also sat down to watch.

Second Cub's hair was shoulder-length and very thick. Lou Yu thought back to the tutorial and decided to give her a cat-ear hairstyle.

This design isn't complicated, but it's very cute, and you can wear more small hair accessories on the two corners, which should suit Second Cub's taste perfectly.

Combing hair is a delicate task, especially with such a tiny little one sitting in his lap. At first, Lou Yu held the comb but didn't dare to put it on the Second Cub's head.

Lou Yu, however, was quick to adapt and soon got the hang of it, his movements as gentle as if he were touching something fragile.

Since it was his first time doing this in real life, even though the hairstyle wasn't difficult, it still took Lou Yu almost half an hour to complete.

"Wow, it really is a kitten!" Second Cub looked at himself in the mirror from all sides, his eyes practically overflowing with affection.

Kids, have you seen cats in cartoons? This pointy hairstyle really does look like cat ears.

Tao Qiu laughed from the side, "It's still just a little white kitten."

The Second Cub pointed to the hair accessories in the box. "This one, this one, and this one, I want to wear them all."

"Okay, Daddy will let you wear them." Lou Yu didn't say that the hair accessories were too complicated and would cover the cat ears. This was her own hairstyle, and as long as she liked it and thought it looked good, that was enough.

Besides, kids are at an age where they'd be adorable even in a burlap sack, so no matter how much they're dressed up, they don't come across as ugly, but rather strangely good-looking.

Once the cat's ears were covered with Huahua accessories, Second Cub was finally satisfied.

She turned her head and Lou Yu a quick kiss on the cheek, her smile sweeter than honey, "Thank you, Daddy Lou Yu."

After saying that, she jumped off Lou Yu's lap and ran to Tao Qiu. "Daddy, I want to take pictures. Can you take lots of pictures of me? I love you!"

Tao Qiu had anticipated that the kids would always take photos after dressing up; her phone was right next to her, ready to be used as soon as she picked it up.

The Second Cub went off to take some nice photos, while the Third Cub spontaneously stretched out both hands to Lou Yu, "Daddy Lou Yu, I want a new hairstyle too!"

"Sure." Lou Yu picked up the Third Cub and placed them on his lap.

He styled Third Cub's hair into a princess hairstyle, attaching her favorite purple chain and purple hair clips, which complemented her purple eyes, making her look as beautiful as a real little princess.

"Thank you, Daddy Lou Yu." The Third Cub hugged Lou Yu's neck and kissed him.

"Yuanyuan, come quick, let's take a picture together!" Seeing that the Third Cub was all dressed up, the Second Cub excitedly waved to her.

"Go on." Lou Yu put the Third Cub on the ground, and the Third Cub took off running.

Lou Yu finally turned his gaze to the Eldest Cub.

The Eldest Cub also has long hair, but Tao Qiu has tied it into a ponytail with a hair tie.

Seeing his father looking over, the Eldest Cub quickly crossed his arms in refusal, "I don't need it, it's fine as it is."

When Eldest Cub in his bird form, he liked to wear a gold chain, but after transforming into human form, he stopped wearing it altogether. In his own words, it just made him look a bit silly.

Lou Yu didn't insist Eldest Cub didn't want it. He patted his head and smiled, "If you want a new hairstyle in the future, just tell Daddy. Daddy has learned how to style a boy's hair too."

Lou Yu didn't force the Eldest Cub, and the Eldest Cub didn't spoil his mood, so he obediently nodded.

After taking dozens of photos, Second Cub Third Cub stopped. Second Cub, looking at Tao Qiu's long, flowing hair that reached her waist, turned to Lou Yu and said, "Lou Yu, Daddy, can you give Daddy a pretty hairstyle too?"

Lou Yu said, "I have no problem with that, you should ask your father if he agrees."

Tao Qiu tucked her long hair behind her ear and chuckled, "Not for now."

"Okay." The Second Cub was a little disappointed, but still said, "Then when Daddy wants a new hairstyle, you must ask Lou Yu's dad, he'll do a really good job."

Second Cub is now a loyal fan of her hairstylist dad.

"Okay? Oh, I only want him to tie my hair?" Tao Qiu looked up at Lou Yu, smiling like a cunning little fox.

Lou Yu's heart skipped a beat when he was looked at like that. He quickly covered his eyes with his hand to prevent the kids from seeing the emotions surging in his eyes.

Tao Qiu was practically a succubus; even the slightest movement from her could bewitch him.

Seeing Lou Yu's reaction, Tao Qiu revealed a sly smile of triumph.

At noon, Lou Yu boldly showcased his culinary skills, cooking several dishes for Tao Qiu and the children.

Because the quality of the ingredients was already top-notch, and with Tao Qiu providing guidance, the dishes didn't look particularly appealing, but they tasted quite good.

The kids are so kind, they've started praising me!

Eldest Cub: "It smells so good! Lou Yu's dad is awesome!"

"Good? Great? Great!" Second Cub gave a thumbs up.

Third Cub was more reserved. "It tastes good, Lou Yu's dad, keep up the good work!"

"Thank you for the compliments and encouragement, my darlings." Lou Yu placed some food into Tao Qiu's bowl and asked expectantly, "Honey, Dad, would you like to try it? Is it good? No, eat it."

Tao Qiu took a bite of the stir-fried meat, savored it carefully, and then said, "The taste of the dish is seven out of ten. But because the chef is so handsome, it made the meal a pleasant experience. I'll reluctantly give it a ten."

Lou Yu cooperated, saying, "As long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters."

Tao Qiu said, "The service was good, I'll add five points."

Lou Yu in surprise, "Isn't a perfect score ten?"

Tao Qiu: "I didn't say the maximum score was ten points, it was one hundred points."

Realizing he'd been tricked by Tao Qiu again, Lou Yu looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Qiuqiu, you bullied me."

Tao Qiu: "Dare to question a guest, deduct one point."

"Pfft." The Third Cub next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lou Yu turned his head and found that the three kids he had almost forgotten were staring straight at the two of them, their faces turning red from trying not to laugh.

Lou Yu: "..."

The Eldest Cub coughed lightly and said, "Dad, you can continue. We didn't see anything."

"Yes, yes, I didn't hear anything either." The Second Cub almost buried his face in his bowl. "Is the food good? It smells delicious, hurry up and eat!"

"Yes, yes, it'll get cold if we don't eat soon." The Third Cub also started shoveling rice into his mouth.

Lou Yu on the verge of tears. "Kindness is often taken advantage of by birds."

Tao Qiu picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth. "This kind human, please accept this meat I'm feeding you. Please forgive me, okay?"

Lou Yu bargained, "I'll only forgive you if you feed me twice."

It really is... a lion? A small opening, huh?

Tao Qiu chuckled, "Okay? Okay? Okay? I'll feed you three times, the extra one is my compensation to you."

Lou Yu was overjoyed.

After their afternoon nap, Lou Yu, a pure human, read to Tao Qiu and her three children.

The three kids were sitting on the side listening, because Tao Qiu had taken over the spot in Lou Yu's lap.

Tao Qiu leaned on Lou Yu's shoulder with his back to him. Lou Yu was reading a book, and Tao Lou Yu, making Lou Yu's ears turn red.

"Little Fishy, why are your ears so red?" After Lou Yu finished reading a story, Tao Qiu mischievously said this, and even reached out to touch his face. "Oh, your face is so hot, are you sick?"

Lou Yu grabbed his hand, amused yet helpless. "Whether I'm sick or not, doesn't Qiuqiu know best?"

Tao Qiu suppressed a laugh, "Good? You don't seem sick; it must be too hot."

"Hmm?" the Eldest Cub asked, confused. "So, is Lou Yu's father hot?"

Even with the sun shining brightly lately, the temperature hasn't gotten very high; in fact, it's a bit chilly at night. How could Lou Yu be hot?

Second Cub 're so kind! You went and moved the spare little fan over, then turned it on to the highest setting facing Lou Yu.

"That way it won't be hot."

Lou Yu shivered from the wind, but still managed a smile as he said, "Thank you Xuexue, and thank you, Qiuqiu."

Second Cub waved his hand. "You're welcome, Dad Lou Yu."

Tao Qiu also said, "No need to thank me. It's my duty to care about you. The child? His father."

Lou Yu pulled Tao Qiu closer, whispered in his ear, and pleaded, "My goodness, Qiuqiu, please don't bully me."

Tao Qiu grasped his hands, which were wrapped around her waist, and smiled happily, "Okay? We'll do whatever our Little Fishy says."

In the following time, Tao Qiu indeed behaved herself, allowing Lou Yu to finish reading the storybook in peace.

That night, the family went to bed early as usual.

But after the three children had all fallen asleep, Lou Yu and Tao Qiu showed no sign of going to sleep.

After waiting for about half an hour, and confirming that the babies were all fast asleep, the two exchanged a glance, got up at the same time, and quietly walked outside.

Tonight, the moon is hidden behind the clouds, and Lou Yu can't see it very clearly outside the range of the small lamp's light.

Tao Qiu took Lou Yu's hand and led him to the cave entrance, then released enormous wings.

"Don't be afraid," Tao Qiu whispered in Lou Yu's ear, trying to comfort him.

He pulled Lou Yu into his arms, scooped him up, and flew towards their predetermined destination.

Lou Yu hooked his arm around Tao Qiu's neck. After being out for a while, his eyes had barely adjusted to the dim light and he was able to see a little bit of his surroundings.
