It seems I must have seen it wrong. Aren't Mom and Dad sleeping soundly?

The hot summer winds swept away all coolness, and the azure sky was cloudless.

When she first noticed something was wrong, Xu Qiaoqiao gently shook her head. She couldn't quite remember. If she really wanted to find out, it was probably after she woke up from hibernation that she felt increasingly strained.

It was just because of her age. At first, she thought it was just a side effect of not fully waking up from hibernation. Later, the spring estrus cycle didn't affect her at all, and she always felt very tired.

This feeling becomes especially pronounced in the summer.

It feels very familiar.

Xu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes groggily. She glanced at Jun Qi and Niannian beside her. It was still bright outside.

It's the same again. Xu Qiaoqiao's sleep hasn't been very good lately. She wakes up in the middle of the night from time to time, just like today.

However, her emotions were a bit unstable today. She looked at Niannian, remained silent for a while, and then decisively climbed onto Niannian's body. She patted the owl under her. It's an adult now, and its body is quite sturdy, just a little smaller than Junjun.

In the final moments of her life, Xu Qiaoqiao had made up her mind that no matter what Jun Qi thought, Niannian was not going to leave.

Junjun and him were the closest people to her in this world.

So let her be willful this once; she wants both of them to be with her.

If possible, I hope Xiaofei could be here too, but that's impossible now. I don't know how she is doing, but I imagine she's living a good life.

After adjusting her position, Xu Qiaoqiao fell asleep.
