Apologize

After dinner, Huanhuan handed Shuang Yin two bowls filled with food and asked her to bring them to Eggy.

Shuang Yin looked at the hot food in the bowl and deliberately said, “Stir-fried prawns with sweet fruits and sour fish soup. These are Eggy’s favorite dishes!”

Huanhuan pretended not to hear her and urged her with a straight face, “Quickly go.”

Then she ducked into the kitchen.

Shuang Yin walked upstairs with the food.

After the sound of her footsteps faded, Huanhuan walked out of the kitchen and looked up at the small attic above. She finally understood what her mother had often said to her in the past…

Children were parents’ debts from their previous lives.

She couldn’t hit or scold her children. Even if she was furious, she couldn’t help but care about them. She’d worry that they weren’t eating well or wearing warm clothes.

…

Shuang Yin knocked on the door of the small attic.

Knock, knock.

Eggy’s voice came from the room. “Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Hearing her sister’s voice, Eggy opened the door. “Sister, why are you here?”

Shuang Yin raised the food in her hand. “I was ordered to bring you dinner.”

When Eggy, who was already extremely hungry, saw the food, she immediately drooled. However, she still snorted. “Mom said she wouldn’t let me eat.”

Shuang Yin deliberately said word by word, “Mom asked me to send these dishes to you.”

Eggy froze.

Shuang Yin walked into the room and placed the food on the table. “Don’t just stand there. Eat it while it’s hot.”

Eggy flew to the table and realized that they were all her favorite dishes.

She lowered her head and took a bite.

As soon as she tasted the food, she knew that it was made by her mother.

Shuang Yin saw that there were many feathers on the bed. They were colorful. She asked half-jokingly, “I heard that you collected a lot of feathers from male hatchlings. Are you preparing to move out and live with them when you reach adulthood?”

Eggy quickly swallowed the prawns in her mouth. “Huh? I’m not gonna live with them!”

“But if you accept their feathers, it means you’re going to be mates with them in the future. Do you know what mates mean? They’re just like Mom and Dad. You’ll have to leave your parents and start your own family.”

“I-I have no intention of becoming mates with them. I don’t want to leave my parents and you,” Eggy hurriedly explained. “I thought those feathers looked good, so I accepted them. I didn’t mean to accept their proposals.”

If she had known that accepting the feathers would make her mother so angry, she wouldn’t have accepted them no matter how beautiful they were.

Shuang Yin guided her patiently. “Now that you know, are you going to return those feathers?”

“Yes, I’ll return the feathers to them now.”

“Eat first.”

“Oh.”

…

After dinner, Eggy put all the feathers into hide bags. Shuang Yin helped her carry the bags, preparing to go to the feather tribe with her.

When Huanhuan found out that they were going to the feather tribe, she immediately said, “Wait a moment. I’ll change my clothes and accompany you.”

Eggy had done something wrong. As a parent, she had to apologize personally.

While Huanhuan went to change, Eggy said awkwardly, “Sister, do you think Mom will forgive me if I apologize to her later?”

“I don’t know if your apology will be forgiven. I only know that if you don’t apologize, you definitely won’t be forgiven.”

Her sister’s words immediately made Eggy make up her mind.

‘I have to apologize!’

Huanhuan changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Eggy mustered her courage and flew over. In the end, because she was too nervous, she didn’t control her strength well and fell into Huanhuan’s arms.

Huanhuan was stunned.

She looked down at the little yellow ball in her arms. “What are you doing?”

Eggy felt so stupid now.

But it was useless to regret it now.

She could only pretend that nothing had happened. She flew calmly and shook the feathers on her chest. “I was wrong!”

Huanhuan was stunned again and looked at her in confusion.

Seeing that her mother was silent, Eggy thought that she would not accept her apology. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she cried at the top of her lungs. “I was wrong! I won’t dare to accept gifts from others again. Mom, don’t be so cold to me! Waah!”

Huanhuan panicked from her crying and quickly hugged her. She kept comforting her. “It’s good that you know your mistake. Remember the lesson this time. Don’t do it again.”

Eggy sobbed. “Are you still angry, then?”

“I’m not angwy anymore.”

Beside them, Shuang Yin couldn’t help but want to laugh. Her mother had also been infected by Eggy. She couldn’t pronounce words properly anymore.

Eggy snuggled into her mother’s arms and asked with tears in her eyes, “Have you forgiven me?”

Huanhuan’s heart was about to melt from her youngest daughter’s cries. The anger from that day was forgotten. She only wanted to comfort her youngest daughter now. “I’ve forgiven you long ago.”

“Then why don’t you make me stir-fried prawns with sweet fruits tomorrow? That dish is so yummy.”

Huanhuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, alright. I’ll definitely make it for you.”

The mother and daughter finally resolved the conflict and reconciled. As spectators, Shuang Yin and Yun Hui were relieved.

Their family went to the feather tribe and returned the feathers to their owners. They repeatedly apologized to the parents of the male hatchlings.

Huanhuan’s apology was very sincere. She even gave him many fresh fruits as an apology.

Most of the parents of the feather tribe were reasonable. While they were disappointed, they accepted Huanhuan’s apology.

Only two pairs of parents were stubborn. Their son had finally found a wife. How could they give up just like that?!

They insisted that since Eggy had accepted their sons’ feathers, she had to become mates with their son!

At first, Huanhuan kept apologizing, saying that the child was insensible and did not know the meaning of accepting feathers from the opposite sex, which was why how such a mistake was made. She hoped the other party could understand.

Unfortunately, the other party refused to accept it.

They didn’t want an apology or gifts. They just wanted Eggy to be their son’s mate!

This matter became more and more awkward, and they almost quarreled.

Shuang Yin went straight to Shen Yan.

As the leader of the feather tribe, Shen Yan had very high prestige in the feather tribe. After asking about the entire matter, he chatted with the parents alone and quickly settled the matter.

Shen Yan personally sent Huanhuan’s family away. As he walked, he said, “If Xue Ling finds out that his precious daughter has found male hatchlings to be her mates before she’s even an adult, he’ll probably go crazy.”

Huanhuan was helpless. “I’m sorry to have troubled you this time.”

“It’s a small matter. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me directly.”

“Thank you. This is jam and dried meat made by our family. If you don’t mind, please accept it.”

Shen Yan did not stand on ceremony. He reached out to catch the jar containing food and deliberately smiled. “If your Eggy wants to find a mate in the future, you can prioritize our male beasts. The male beasts here are all very outstanding.”

After today’s incident, Huanhuan had a headache at the mention of her youngest daughter choosing a mate. She quickly waved her hand. “We’ll go back home now!”
