Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 179 - 171: Cats Will Never Be Slaves

After lunchtime ended...

The children from Dorami Kindergarten, under the careful guidance of their respective teachers, happily made their way to the playground, as they usually do, to start their afternoon activities.

Instantly...

The playground was filled with the laughter and cheers of the children. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

They were like little birds just freed from their cages, chirping and playing, infusing the entire playground with vitality and energy.

Such scenes were undoubtedly full of fun.

"Little sister."

Qingqing couldn’t stop thinking about her dad and those adorable little cats. Seizing a chance, she gently tugged on Weiwei, who was having fun on the slide, and softly said, "Let’s go find Dad, and maybe check on Bun and Pumpkin Pie, and see how their mom, Orange, is doing?"

Upon hearing the name "Pumpkin Pie," Weiwei’s eyes lit up immediately. She excitedly replied, "Yes, yes, I also want to see Pumpkin Pie!"

Nearby, Liu Ruihan overheard their conversation and quickly chimed in loudly, "I want to go too, I want to go too! Let’s all go and see Bun and Pumpkin Pie!"

"Hehe, then let’s set off!"

Qingqing laughed and turned, heading towards the kitchen.

Upon seeing this.

The other children couldn’t sit still anymore!

They giggled and followed closely behind Qingqing, like a group of joyful little tails.

Just like that, a crowd of children commenced a spirited march towards the kitchen...

This sudden "large troop" movement caused all the class teachers to panic immediately.

They hurried over, intending to stop this group of little friends from "wandering off" on their own, fearing any accidents might occur.

But upon seeing the children’s excited and expectant faces, the teachers couldn’t bear to break their happiness and could only nod in agreement, carefully "escorting" them to ensure their safety.

"Slow down, look, you’re already sweating!"

Huang Jun heard the commotion, quickly turned around, and caught his two precious daughters rushing towards him. He knelt down and wiped the sweat off their foreheads with his hand.

"Dad, we really want to see Bun and Pumpkin Pie! Can you take us to see them?" Qingqing and Weiwei said sweetly with a smile.

The other children, seeing Huang Jun, did not feel the slightest unfamiliarity or fear, but rather a sense of closeness.

They all gathered around, chiming in:

"Qingqing’s daddy, take us to see Bun and Pumpkin Pie!"

"Chef Huang, we want to see Bun and Pumpkin Pie too!"

"..."

This small request, naturally, Huang Jun agreed to without hesitation!

"Alright... then let’s all go see the cute little kittens together!"

With that, he led the excited group of children like a leader of kids towards the corner by the kitchen where the lazy little cats lay playing on their backs.

"Meow!"

Upon hearing the noise, Orange immediately alertly perked up its ears, eyes wide open, slowly stood up, fur slightly raised, prepared to protect its babies at any moment.

But seeing the food ticket dad leading these little friends over, the tension in its heart gradually eased. What reassured it more was that Qingqing, Weiwei, and Liu Ruihan, whom it recognized, were among them, and the other children’s eyes were filled with kindness and curiosity.

Thus...

It gradually let go of its guard, elegantly turned around, and gracefully walked aside, allowing the group of children to quietly admire its adorable and playful kittens from a safe distance.

At that moment, Bun was still immersed in a sweet afternoon nap, lying in the cardboard box, sound asleep, seemingly indifferent to all the external noise.

While Pumpkin Pie appeared more alert, sensing the fuss, it quickly rolled into the corner of the cardboard box, cautiously peering out at the sudden arrival of these unwelcome guests.

Soon enough.

The two little kittens were surrounded by this group of enthusiastic rambunctious kids.

Unable to contain her excitement, Qingqing reached out to grab the just-awoken Bun, who was leisurely licking its paws and rubbing its face.

While Pumpkin Pie was swiftly scooped up by Weiwei, gently stroking its soft fur.

"Look, this is Pumpkin Pie, and I named it myself!" Weiwei proudly pouted her little mouth, showing off the kitten in her hands to other class kids, her face full of pride and delight.

Qingqing also smiled brightly and pointed at Bun, saying, "This is Bun, and I named it!"

"Meow..."

"Meow..."

Being held high up, Bun and Pumpkin Pie sensed the "not-so-friendly" glances flashing in a swarm of children’s eyes, and began to struggle nervously.

Their tails curled tightly, tucked under their rear, seeming to say, "This place is scary! I want to go back to my cat planet!"

"Wow... Bun and Pumpkin Pie are so cute!"

The children’s eyes glimmered. This level of adorability in baby cats was simply irresistible to these two-legged creatures.

So...

Their eagerly hopeful eyes turned to Qingqing and Weiwei, hoping to get a chance to hold and cuddle these two cute little kittens.

Facing the requests from their friends, Qingqing and Weiwei naturally nodded in agreement generously.

They passed Bun and Pumpkin Pie into the hands of their fellow classmates, allowing them to fully enjoy the pleasure of close contact with the kittens.

However.

The rice balls and pumpkin pies being hugged and snuggled seemed a bit helpless and wailed in dismay.

Their little paws waved in the air, as if protesting against this sudden enthusiasm.

Fortunately, Orange, as the cat mom, managed to escape from the kids’ "clutches."

But seeing her children looking like they’re "calling for help," she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, though powerless to help. She could only watch quietly from the side, praying that this "disaster" ends soon.

Just then.

Huang Jun clapped his hands and asked the surrounding kids: "Kids, do you want to see Orange perform a somersault trick?"

"Yes!"

The kids all enthusiastically responded in unison, full of anticipation.

Xie Jianing, however, looked worriedly at Huang Jun: "Qingqing’s daddy, can Orange really do a somersault? Won’t it get hurt?"

With confidence, Huang Jun replied: "Don’t worry, Orange is an agile cat, doing a somersault is no big deal for it."

"Really?" Xie Jianing was still skeptical.

After all, she had never seen a cat doing somersaults!

Huang Jun didn’t directly answer her question.

Words are futile; only facts can prove the point!

He called out to Orange: "Orange, come on, show everyone your somersault trick."

Orange: "..."

"Meow..."

It let out a displeased meow, turning its head proudly away, lightly flicking its tail as if to say: Cats will never be enslaved.

This was quite awkward!

Huang Jun slightly tilted his head, giving Orange a look, as if to remind it: Orange, think about your two kids, they are now in those enthusiastic kids’ hands. To save them ’from the sea of bitterness,’ shouldn’t you cooperatively show everyone your somersault skill?

But Orange didn’t seem to buy it, giving him a glance, still proudly turning its head away, lightly flicking its tail again as if to say: The children will find their own happiness; don’t be a slave for them, let them adapt to this enthusiasm! After all, it’s an inevitable thing!

Huang Jun, having no choice, had to play his trump card, saying, "Orange, do you still want to eat the snack this afternoon?"

This was a naked threat!

Orange: "..."

But a cat under a roof has no choice but to bow its head!

Ultimately.

For the sake of ’a meal,’ Orange agreed by letting out a meow: "Meow!"

Then, under everyone’s eager gaze, Orange arched its body slightly and then leaped forward. Its four limbs traced a graceful arc in the air, as if drawing a perfect circle, finally landing steadily on the ground.

"Wow, Qingqing’s daddy is amazing... he really made Orange do a somersault..."

"Wow, that was awesome... Orange is incredible..."

"..."

In an instant, all the children immediately put down the kittens in their hands and ran towards Orange, excitedly asking it to do another wonderful somersault.

The rice balls and pumpkin pies, seeing this, seemed to be given an amnesty!

Though they were carried around previously, making their steps unsteady, they still stumbled back to the cardboard box, hiding in this small harbor with lingering fear in their hearts.

Letting them temporarily forget the "shocking fright" they just experienced.

Luckily, the kids’ attention was completely drawn to Orange at the moment, not having time to bother with them.

Orange had no choice but to continue performing, continuing to showcase its excellent somersault skills to the children, drawing cheers with every roll.

Undoubtedly becoming the coolest cat in the children’s hearts!

Just then.

Yang Yuxi carried two delivery parcels over with some difficulty, just in time to witness Orange’s spectacular somersault, with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Wow, this Orange can actually do somersaults..."

Huang Jun noticed her arrival and when he saw the parcels in her hands, he curiously went over to give her a hand: "Miss Yang, why did you bring the delivery packages over here?"

Miss Yang smiled and replied: "These are the items I specially ordered online for Orange and the others, including a comfy cat bed, a cat tree for them to climb, and all sorts of toys. Oh, and scratching boards, cat-specific nail clippers, brushes, cat food..."

Saying this, she put down the parcels and started to open them one by one, taking out the items inside.

Every item looked so exquisite, full of luxury and texture...

Seeing the array of cat items, Huang Jun secretly sighed: No fairness in this world! A cat actually enjoys such a luxurious treatment!

Indeed, cats are so fortunate!

Of course.

The final assembly task still fell on Huang Jun.

The reason being nothing else.

The kids’ nap time came, so the teachers had to take them back to the classroom to rest first.

And as the youngest male in the kindergarten, he was naturally the most suitable person for the task.

Fortunately, with detailed instructions and illustrations as reference, the assembly process, though a bit cumbersome, was overall not exhausting.

Huang Jun patiently followed the steps, and before long, the cat bed, cat tree, and other cat items took shape in his hands.

Afterward, he led Orange and her two children to their brand-new home.
