"Of course you can. Today just didn't go the way you wanted. Next time, how about the four of us go together? Papa, Mama, Rui, and you. Papa is very good at hunting, so he can teach us."
As he gently washed Yue's hair, Qiong Xing smiled.
"Mama's still not very good either."
He soothed her, reminding her that getting frustrated only made things harder, while also making sure to praise Rui for doing well.
"I want to catch fish."
"..."
Who exactly had Rui inherited that carefree personality from?
It certainly was not Joa.
That left only Qiong Xing himself, though he was completely unaware of it.
Since it was his precious son's wish, he promised they would make a fish dish the next time they caught some.
Satisfied, Rui happily continued washing himself.
"Rui, who do you like more? Mama or fish?"
"...Mama."
Ah, thank goodness.
Qiong Xing had asked the question without thinking and he felt relieved by the answer.
"Yue loves Mama too!"
