Ye Tianchen, Liu Rumei, and Little Black Bear were having lunch together for the first time. It was clear that this meal was going to be anything but ordinary, especially with Little Black Bear’s antics. His behavior surprised not just Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei, but even all the customers and staff in the barbecue restaurant. Everyone was left open-mouthed in disbelief!

After Little Black Bear devoured a large tray of grilled beef and a big bottle of cola by himself, nine waiters from the barbecue restaurant approached their table, each carrying a large platter. The platters were all identical, containing grilled beef, and the lead waitress informed Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei that there had been no mistake—these were the ten servings of grilled beef Little Black Bear had ordered.

"I say, you little rascal, did you do this on purpose..." Ye Tianchen couldn’t handle it anymore and glared at Little Black Bear angrily.

"It’s alright, it’s alright, just leave the grilled beef here!" Liu Rumei said with a smile. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"But sir, ma’am, there are too many plates to fit, should we stack them up for you?" The waitress suggested with a wry smile.

"Alright, let’s do that!" Liu Rumei quickly responded, fearing Ye Tianchen might get angry and blame Little Black Bear.

Soon, the nine waiters left the table, and the other diners in the restaurant occasionally glanced over, whispering and even giggling at the funny scene. Liu Rumei couldn’t help but chuckle herself.

Before Little Black Bear, seated alone, there was a pile of grilled beef—a full nine platters stacked so that neither his body nor his head was visible. It was a sight orchestrated by Ye Tianchen as a comedic punishment for Little Black Bear’s outrageous order of ten identical servings of grilled beef, leaving Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei bewildered yet amused!

"Hehe, why don’t you guys have some too!" Little Black Bear peered out from behind the pile with a sheepish grin.

"You eat up! We won’t eat. You ordered this, so you must finish it yourself!" Ye Tianchen said with utmost seriousness.

"Bah, I was just being polite. Do you really think I can’t finish it?" Little Black Bear gave Ye Tianchen a defiant look.

"If you can eat it, then go ahead, stop complaining!" Ye Tianchen said grumpily.

"Okay, okay, I’ll have a little too, I’m hungry!" Liu Rumei chuckled.

Nine platters of grilled beef—it was quite the amount. Even though Little Black Bear’s true form was that of a massive black bear, it didn’t mean his stomach was endlessly spacious. However, he could certainly eat more than regular beings.

With the demeanor of a compassionate mother, Liu Rumei found herself mediating between the ’father’ and ’son’. She also ate some grilled beef, though facing the nine identical servings made her feel a bit nauseous. The sight and smell were overwhelming, making it hard to understand Little Black Bear’s thinking in ordering ten identical servings.

Ye Tianchen hadn’t touched a single bite. Little Black Bear’s actions were exasperating—not because Ye Tianchen was stingy or unwilling to spend money. In terms of Mortal World’s currency, it was insignificant to him. But this was outrageous—how could Little Black Bear be so unreliable?

A full hour passed, and Liu Rumei and Little Black Bear managed to finish a large tray of grilled beef. Remarkably, Liu Rumei only helped with one, while Little Black Bear consumed the other nine platters along with three bottles of cola alone. His belly was comically round, leaving Liu Rumei and even Ye Tianchen astonished. He hadn’t anticipated such a huge appetite, and he wasn’t sure he could manage it himself.

The entire spectacle left the restaurant’s customers and staff stupefied—it was hard to believe that a three-year-old child ate nine platters of grilled beef and drank three large bottles of cola. The diners were left with one impression: this world’s biggest eater was a three-year-old child.

"Amazing... Is this really a three-year-old?"

"That appetite, that belly, absolutely world-class!"

"These parents have given birth to quite the eater—it’s incredible!"

"Can a normal family sustain such a child?"

"Wait, I need to take a picture! This is truly a bear kid, an epicurean bear kid at that!"

Diners couldn’t resist gossiping, with many capturing the moment on phones and cameras. However, unbeknownst to them, any images taken would vanish mysteriously when forgotten and later revisited. This was Ye Tianchen’s magic at play, ensuring his image wasn’t left in the Mortal World.

"Burp... This roast beef is really pretty good!" Little Black Bear burped and chuckled as he spoke.

"You are amazing, you can actually eat so much!" Liu Rumei was stuffed and said with a helpless smile.

"You’re just a troublesome kid. Since you were born, have your parents never given you any meat? That’s too harsh!" Ye Tianchen shook his head as he spoke.

"I haven’t had meat for ages. The environment these past years didn’t allow it, but now I’m finally full!" Little Black Bear said with satisfaction.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, then called the waiter over. Although eating or not was irrelevant to him, enjoying some delicious food was still possible!

"Sir, is there anything you need?" the waitress asked with a big smile.

"What signature dishes do you have here? I haven’t eaten yet!" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

"Oh... Our signature dish is roast bear paw!" The waitress was stunned for a moment and quickly replied.

Imagine a family of three eating ten large servings of roast beef! Even though many saw Little Black Bear eating the most, they assumed Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei, the two adults, also ate a lot. Nobody expected Ye Tianchen to say he hadn’t eaten yet. Where did this strange family come from? Were they all just reborn hungry ghosts?

"Roast bear paw, that sounds good, let’s have one!" Ye Tianchen chuckled as he spoke.

Crack!

Before the waitress could turn to place Ye Tianchen’s order, Little Black Bear suddenly jumped up and slammed the table in anger, "You actually have roast bear paw here?"

Everyone froze, not knowing why this three-year-old suddenly erupted in anger. Only Ye Tianchen understood, smiling as he asked, "Do you really have roast bear paw here?"

"No, we certainly don’t have actual bear paw here as bears are protected and hunting them is prohibited. We just use the best pork and make it look like bear paw," the waitress quickly explained with a smile.

"Oh, that’s fine, bring us a bear paw to taste!" Ye Tianchen provocatively glanced at Little Black Bear as he spoke.

"No way, even if it’s not real bear paw, it shouldn’t be eaten, this dish has to be off the menu!" Little Black Bear said through gritted teeth.

"You say it’s not allowed so it can’t exist? I’m going to eat it!" Ye Tianchen said disdainfully.

Liu Rumei saw Ye Tianchen and Little Black Bear arguing again and quickly interjected, "Alright, why do you two always fight like enemies? You too, why are you always fussing with a three-year-old kid?"

"Does he seem like a three-year-old? He’s practically a mentally mature adult!" Ye Tianchen said irritably.

"Growing up in hardship, I had to become sensible early. I also want a joyful, carefree childhood like other kids, but who can give it to me, sob sob!" Little Black Bear was quite adept at feigning pity, sobbing as he spoke.

"If you keep pretending, I’ll beat you!" Ye Tianchen was really feeling the urge to thrash this little bear. Who would’ve thought this kid was such a schemer, so cunning, with acting skills so high that even Liu Rumei was stunned.

"Sister, look, he always bullies me, sob sob!" Little Black Bear clutched Liu Rumei’s hand, crying and saying.

"Alright, alright, don’t cry like that, it’s not real bear paw, what are you afraid of? It’s just made of pork!" Liu Rumei said, feeling a bit exasperated as she glanced at Little Black Bear.

"Sister, do you know why I’m so upset? Why I object? Because, sob sob..." Little Black Bear deliberately stopped mid-sentence, leaving everyone curious. Ye Tianchen was genuinely curious to see what kind of lie the kid would make up next...(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com).
